Top suggestions to Windows 8 security

This is a guest post by Alice Robert 

You may have ever heard of some discussions on Windows 8 security features. For example, Windows 8 users don’t have to find tools to reset password Windows 8, picture password or PIN code can come in handy when they forget the password. More often, you can see many criticisms on Windows 8 security features. Windows 8 is so different from the traditional Windows. Lots of PC fans are struggling with, or fearful of, the transition. I want to say, don't let the Windows 8 haters brainwash you: Microsoft actually has introduced a few great features in this new operating system, some of which will help keep your system safer from malware and virus. Here are several tips for Windows 8 security.

1. Make a powerful password for your Microsoft Account 

In Windows 8, you can now optionally sign in with a Microsoft account using your email address. Whenever you log in a new Windows 8 machine with that Microsoft account, all your data will be automatically synced to your new hardware. And this is a problem. Once others get your Microsoft account password, they could log in to your account at another Windows 8 PC and then get access to your synced data. Therefore, try to make it as complex as you can with lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters. You should avoid words from the dictionary or used for other accounts.

2. Hide up your local disk drives 

It is recommended to hide your storage disks from the Computer folder so that hackers can’t get access to your personal files. You can do this by install the application “NoDrives Managers”, and then launch it from your desktop. You will then be able to choose which drive you want to hide drives for. Finally, you just need to click “Save Changes” to finish your settings.

3. Disable hard drive encryption hibernation in Windows 8 

Hard drive encryption is the first step to protect your data security in Windows 8. If possible, disable the hibernation policy through group policy, for it doesn’t always work well with encryption.

4. Take care of applications in the Windows Store 

The platform can be used to provide lists for desktop applications certified to run on Windows 8, but is also the primary distribution platform for a new type of app called "Windows Store apps". Carefully review these permissions in the details tab because some will grant access by default to your location information, calendar, etc.


5. Clean up your traces in Windows 8

For Public PC users, it is necessary to clean up your traces in Windows 8 on a regular basis. Theses traces are recorded when you use any Web Browser, say, the URL you've visited, Accounts opened, Cookies & Password saved, etc. To remove such a huge data from your Windows 8 computer is little hard, especially when you run out of time in the process of using a public computer. You can try some software, say, Anti Tracks. It will save you a lot of troubles.

6. Create a picture password for your Windows 8 PC 

Picture Password, a new touch-based security login, enable users to select a picture and then makes three touch gestures on top of it. The system will save the sequence of gestures as the user’s “password” and then the user would repeat the exact sequence to log in. It is a good idea to create a picture password after you have made a text password. It can be troublesome for Windows 7 users to deal with Windows 7 password recovery. For Windows 8 users, a picture password can make a difference. Besides, clean your screen frequently, for fingerprints on screens with smudges may reveal your picture password.

Top fun little accessories for iPhone and iPad

Here’s the list of 5 unique and fun little accessories for iPhone and iPad.

Classic Match Foosball for iPad
Works with iPad
Manufacturer: New Potato Technologies

Yes, the concept is awesome. Download the free accompanying app and slip your iPad into the 30-pin dock connector (sorry about that, fourth-gen owners). As expected, four mini axis control arms are in place to spin to control your players and boot the ball about, all on a drop-down pitch view from your iPad. Rubber pads on the base of the legs are good for friction. The problem is that the arms aren't aligned with their respective line of players on the screen, so you have to trick your own muscle memory into moving the 'wrong' bar to control your men. The response time of them is impressive, but not perfect; some sensitive touches didn't register. The app's due an update; currently only one match mode is available.

Verdict: "App updates are needed to fix the flaws - right now, is heading for an early bath."

Plantronics Voyager Legend
Works with iPhone
Manufacturer: Plantronics

The latest Plantronics set is all about convenience. Too often the setting up and switching between the device and your mobile phone is what puts people off of using Bluetooth. The Smart Sensor technology here gets rid of that problem. Put the headset on and it can automatically transfer the call you were already on, and vice versa. Finally, the link between your iPhone and your Bluetooth earpiece can be an unbroken one, and it works a treat. Simply putting on the headset when you receive a call will answer it, too. The other major feature that Plantronics boasts with the Voyager Legend is the ability to automatically filter out background noise. Having said all that, the Voyager Legend might not suit everyone. It's bulky and the boom arm microphone piece is overkill. You would also want to be with a network which gives you good reception and has low dropped calls. iPhone users who have unlocked phones may consider iPhone SIM only deals with short contracts, giving them flexibility to change networks.

Verdict: "If you're using a Bluetooth headset on a daily basis, this is almost the perfect choice."

thinksound ts02+mic
Works with iPhone, iPod touch, iPad
Manufacturer: thinksound 

These in-ear buds look stunning and claim to have the lowest possible eco-footprint. The ts02's are comfortable; this is largely due to their lightness and being substantially made of wood and lightweight aluminium. Many other in-ear designs have turned to wood for a more 'natural' sound, and we liked that delicate touch when it came to bassy kinds of music. With heavy rock you'll get the thumping bass lines you're after while maintaining a good clarity in the treble. Oddly, it's a different story when it comes to classical jazz and acoustic music. We found the ts02's quite hollow-sounding and lacking the warmth that's promised. The mic itself is neat on the cable, but the one button option, which lacks volume controls, for us, is an opportunity missed. They're not quite House of Marley quality.

Verdict: "Good for bass, but there are other sub-£100 offerings that we'd opt for over these."

Carbon Audio Zooka Wireless Speaker Bar
Works with iPhone, iPod touch, iPad
Manufacturer: Carbon Audio

The Zooka Wireless Speaker Bar is a Bluetooth speaker that doubles as a stand for your iPad (or it can be used with other Bluetooth products), with a rechargeable battery, so you can use it anywhere. A screw-in metal rod makes it stand, which stashes away inside the Zooka for safe-keeping when not in use. As a stand, it's functional, but not brilliant. It moves around easily when you tap the iPad, and you can't adjust the angle. It's decent as a speaker, though. The high-end is full with clear vocals, offering plenty of detail. There's not much in the way of bass - it's not as prominent as in the Logitech UE Mobile Boombox - but it's still audible with a good mid-range. It definitely favours the top end, nor will it blow anyone away with its overall quality, but it pleasantly surprised us.

Verdict: "This isn't the best stand or speaker, but it does a decent job of combining the two."

Veho Muvi X-Lapse
Works with iPhone, iPod touch
Manufacturer: Veho

Want to make a rotating time-lapse shot on your iPhone? Step forward the Veho Muvi X-Lapse; set your time-lapse app to record at set intervals, rotate the stand to either 15, 30 or 60 minutes by twisting its base, and off you go. It's 15 minutes per 90°, so there's no way to change the speed of the rotation. No accompanying app comes from the manufacturers, but we found iMotion HD on the App Store for free, which produced decent enough recordings. The stand can be used with a variety of cameras, but the plastic iPhone clip provided is great for either landscape or portrait recording. The base unit itself is sturdy and three flip-out feet offer extra stability. Our major bugbear is the loud 'egg timer' ticking of the stand when rotating - you even get a 'bing' when your set time is up; it can become annoying.

Verdict: "If you can abide the ticking, this is the best accessory for taking time-lapse 360's."

How to Change Google Language from Thai to English

Google giving you results in another language? This is one of the most annoying things when you migrate to another country. I am currently in Thailand and I encountered this problem. The Thai alphabet uses different characters, so it is quite hard to change the settings especially if you don't know how to read Thai script. It is okay if you are just for the holidays but if you are relocating indefinitely, you will find yourself longing for the results you are used to. Here's what you need to do, just follow the steps on the screenshots.

First, click the gear icon on the upper right hand side of Google results. Click on the first entry. That is the settings button.


Then, on the left side, click on the second entry, it is Pasa. It means Language in Thai.


Next, click on the language selection button and choose, Pasa Angkrit. It means English Language. Click on the screenshot for reference.


Now click the blue button at the bottom (Save) and that's it.
