Sometime or another, we find ourselves having to delete a .dll file which is locked or causing conflict to our windows operating systems. Yet the only possible solution to troubleshoot the issue is to remove the problematic .dll files. Of course we cannot just delete the file first because it still has an entry on the registry itself. To avoid damage your computer, the first step is to unregister the file before deleting it. Be patient as theysaY outline the following steps for beginners to follow on how to unregister a dll file safely in Windows.
Before we proceed, I would advise all to do a backup of your critical documents and folders as the following steps involved meddling with the operating system itself. Follow Murphy’s advice, he can only be right.

We all know how Google dominates the search online market. Let’s not talk about cuil today as it is over-hyped for a matter of fact. What is interesting is that there is a new search engine that I just stumbled upon recently and that is SearchMe. The only significant difference between SearchMe and most other conventional search engines is that it returns results mainly through visual snapshots of the site. Also, the processed results are then presented in a way that is similar to the user interface of browsing through albums in iTunes with a touch. Pretty cool huh?
But that is not all. SearchMe isn’t just photo gimmicks. It has the capability of auto-categorising every page to help online users to distinguish their search in their desired category. In this way, users spend less time filtering unwanted pages and more time learning new information.

I do not know if you feel anything now when you this see this floppy usb gadget, but it was just a few years back when 1 GB hard disk was deemed too much to be filled up completely. Now, a high definition video can chucked up to 1 GB of storage space. Picture the days where 1.44MB floppy disk was a fad and all these memories came back when I chanced upon a floppy USB, all thanks to Thomas O’Connor.
This remarkable design tints flavours of vintage style, yet does not blend well with the convenience society we live in. At most, the bulky design gadget will stay put on my study desk top. Perhaps I would still stick to my trusty USB flash drive for portable storage after all.

In the digital age of today, one can never be more careful about the keystrokes they enter into the computer. Viruses and worms are the facade to the unknowing dangers of what trojans and key-loggers can do. Though not obvious on the surface, a keylogger could potentially be the direct ticket for your identity and monetary lose. Here are a few methods that we can do to mitigate if not remove the risk altogether.
How to trick a keylogger
1) When you need to type a password on a compromised computer, type some portion and use mouse to click on another portion to complete keying in.
2) Avoid entering the full password. Copy and paste from other websites some of the letters or numbers you need.
3) Last but not least, change your password immediately at a secured PC after you use it outside your own computer.

The best part of a BlackBerry is its full-fledged QWERTY, which is so handy for typing messages using your two thumbs. If you’re an iPhone user, you get only the touchscreen version of QWERTY, which lacks of the actual feel and tactile feedback of a physical QWERTY of a BlackBerry.
Thanks to the iTwinge keyboard, which you can now use it to turn your iPhone into a BlackBerry-like device, presenting you a full QWERTY to ease your messaging on the iPhone.
The iTwinge QWERTY costs you only $30. It simply slips into the bottom of the iPhone, to let your iPhone have a full-fledged QWERTY. The iTwinge works both for the iPhone 3G and 3GS versions, which is what you need if you’re a heavy texter but wish to stick to using the iPhone.

Netbooks have eaten quite a lot of laptop market. As netbooks are simply much cheaper in price. But netbooks are meant for users who need a portable computer that is small and convenient enough to bring along anywhere you go, but only need the processing power that is sufficient for you to browse the web, reply emails and have some simple web chats.
Due to the laptop market has been bitten quite a big chunk by netbooks, the laptop makers now have a fight back. Laptop makers start offering laptops with much cheaper price, even some under 400 Euros and laptops are definitely providing processing power as good as what you can get with a desktop. If you need a portable computer that allows you to do almost similar what you can do with a desktop, then you should opt for a laptop instead of a netbook.

Perhaps many computer geeks are dog lovers, so it’s a neat idea to make a USB hub to be shaped like a dog, making it more appealing to dog lovers.
The SmartDog USB hub here comes with 4 USB ports that let you hook up to other USB gadgets. It comes with a rectangular-shaped head, which many make it look less appealing or less cute. But the rectangular head is detachable, which can be used as an portable radio that has auto-scan capability for the frequency range of 88MHz to 108MHz.
Attaching the head back to the Smart Dog will turn it into a speaker for your computer, even though its sound quality is little poor which probably sounds like dog barking. Two USB ports are found on each side of this smart dog, which make up a total of 4 USB ports.
