Chrome Remote Desktop On Android

 

 Allowing Mobile Access To Your PC(Google)

 

Google this morning launched a mobile client application called “Chrome Remote Desktop app for Android” (whew!) which allows for remote access to your Mac or PC from your Android device, whether smartphone or tablet. The new app is an extension of Google’s previously launched Chrome Remote Desktop screen-sharing service, which allows you to share your desktop’s screen with other Chrome browser or Chromebook users.

 

As with its big-screen counterpart, to use the Android application you first have to install a helper application on your desktop or laptop computer. That app is here in the Chrome Web Store and works on Windows (XP and above), Mac (OS X 10.6 and above) and Linux computers. The helper app installs as an extension to Google Chrome or the Chrome-based OS that powers Google’s Chromebooks.

 

Once installed, however, you’ll be able to open the app and connect to any of your computers with just a tap, manage them, and navigate through their files and folders from afar — like a modern version of GoToMyPC, for example.

 

We’ve known an Android client was in the works for some time, as there was even a functional version of the Android client available back in January, though it required that you compile the app from source in order to use it. An iOS version is also in the works, but its development is said to be further behind.

 

The move comes at a time when competitor Amazon is targeting enterprise users with its own version of remote access software, Amazon Workspaces. Officially launched to the public in March, this service similarly lets company employees access their work computers from any device, including Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad, Android or Kindle Fire HDX tablets. Of course, in Amazon’s case, the goal is to make its tablets appear more business-friendly.

 

Google’s Remote Desktop, on the other hand, has a more consumer-focused vibe, which even had the company once touting the service as a way to be the family hero by “adjusting printer settings on your mom’s computer to finding a lost file on your dad’s laptop,” for example.

The official Chrome Remote Desktop Android app is available here on Google Play.

6 Ways to Make Your Computer Run Faster

This holiday season, the lines at Apple will flood out the door as people wait in line to upgrade their computers. However, if you’re experiencing problems with your computer it is most likely not because it’s too old or too worn down. If your computer is slow or is constantly freezing, you don’t need to run out to the store to purchase a new one. Here are 6 ways that you can save yourself the costly purchase of a new laptop or PC, and get your computer running faster:

Uninstall programs you don’t use: 

New computers come with a long list of programs, many of which you will never use, and most likely don’t even know exist. If you’ve never used a program and don’t foresee using it in the near future, get rid of it. Open the Control Panel, go into programs and features, and browse through the list of installed software. Uninstall everything that you don’t need. If you’re worried about deleting a program your computer’s hardware needs, you can use a program like PC Decrapifier which will select the programs you don’t need for you.

Run a disk de-fragment:

Maximize the efficiency of your computer by running a disk de-fragment and re-configuring how your hard drive stores information. In order to do this, open “my computer”, right-click on the hard drive and select “properties” from the drop down menu. Under the “Tools” tab click the option “Defragment now”.

Run a disk clean up:

You can also de-clutter your computer if you have windows with a built-in tool called Disk Cleanup. Disk Cleanup searches through your system for any unnecessary files that take up a lot of memory, like program installers, or temporary internet files. All you have to do to run the program is click “start”>”All Programs”> “Accessories”>”System Tools”> “Disk Cleanup”. The program does all the work for you.

Delete Temporary Files:

The every day tasks you perform on your computer cause temporary files to accumulate on your computer. These files remain on your hard disk, and slow your computer down. Remove the files to free up more hard disk space, speeding up your computer at the same time. This involves mainly deleting your internet history and cookies. In order to do this go to “My Computer”>”Local Hard Drive” (It will usually be C:\)>”Windows”>”Temp”. Right-click on “Temp”, hold your mouse over “View” in the drop down menu, and choose “Details”. Then, select the files that are older than the current date and press delete. If you want to delete cookies and web history from a laptop, open up your internet browser, choose “History” and then “clear browsing history”. Once you’ve finished these steps, make sure to empty your computer’s recycle bin.

Get A Bigger Hard Drive:

Even if you delete temporary files on a regular basis, if your hard drive is not big enough for you, your computer will slow down. When your hard drive becomes 85% full, your computer is sure to slow down. If you’re someone who uses the computer mainly for checking e-mail and moderate internet browsing, you most likely will not need a very large hard drive. However, if you regularly download television shows or other large files, you will need a large hard drive, one that’s more than 1TB in size. Head over to your nearest computer supply store in order to purchase a new one. The installation process is not difficult, and there are plenty of Youtube videos that can help you along the way. If you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, have them install the new hard drive for you at the store.

Remove Dust:

Dust can actually cause huge problems for your computer. Dust can obstruct your computer’s airflow which is necessary in order to keep it’s temperature down and keep it from over-heating. When your computer over-heats, it slows down in order to cope. In order to remove dust, simply take off the computer’s exterior and use a vacuum with a nozzle attachment at a very low power setting in order to remove some dust without damaging your computer. Make sure your computer is off before you start to clean. You can also reverse the setting if you encounter stubborn dust, and have the vacuum blow air out in order to blow the dust out.
Follow these steps, and your computer will be running as fast as it did when you ripped it out of it’s brand new box.

"Girl killed herself" Facebook scam - be aware before you Share!

You know the saying about buses - you don't see one for ages, then three come along at once.

Facebook scams and hoaxes are a bit like that, except for the "you don't see one for ages" part.

But, judging by the most popular articles on Naked Security over the past couple of weeks, large-scale hoaxes and scams do sometimes come in threes.

A perfecta of long-running Facebook falsehoods has topped the charts recently.

Firstly, it was Talking Angela, the chat bot cat that was accused of all sorts ofdubious behavior - including behavior that isn't programmed into the software, couldn't have happened, yet was widely and regularly reported by people claiming "I saw it with my own eyes."

Secondly, it was the annual "Facebook will close from 29-31 February" hoax, circulated presumably as a joke but apparently taken seriously by some.

Now, it's the venerable "Girl killed herself video" bait-and-switch scam, already in its fifth year, that is making a reappearance.

→ Hoaxes and scams aren't the same, but they are similar in how they end up being shared over and over again. Generally, hoaxes are bogus warnings that spread because people forward them on the assumption that it's better to be safe than sorry. Scams are bogus links that spread because people forward them in return for some illusory benefit, such as access to an intriguing-sounding video.

We've written about the "Girl killed herself" video before, right back to 2010.

There are numerous variations on the theme, but the premise is often that a teenager committed suicide in shame after being caught out, perhaps by her own father, in some sort of inappropriate online activity.

There's a video, and you're invited to watch.

Here's how this sort of scam plays out, based on one of the versions circulating right now:

1. One of your friends Shares a link along the lines of "Girl killed herself live on cam."

2. It comes from a friend, so you click the link and arrive at a page that doesn't overtly claim to be affiliated with Facebook, but nevertheless uses visual clues to make it look more official than it is.

3. You're invited to Like the publisher's Facebook page, a request that seems routine and harmless enough:

4. If you take a look, the publisher's page was recently created and might best be described as uninspired and uninspiring, but it seems harmless enough, perhaps leading you into a false sense of safety. (Banality is a surprisingly good cover for scammers, when you think about it.)

5. You can skip past the Like popup, but before you watch the video, you are forced to Share it:

 6. And once you have shared it, you need to answer some questions as a sort of CAPTCHA - one of those tests to prove you're a person, in this case a person who's old enough to watch adult videos:

→ CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Procedure for Telling Computers and Humans Apart. CAPTCHAs are challenges that are meant to be reasonably easy for humans to work out, but tricky for computers to process accurately. Examples include reading fuzzy characters against a distracting background, or answering arithmetical questions written out longhand using words, not symbols.

Except that the questions to prove you are illegible are, in fact, pay-per-click surveys or special offer pages that clock up revenue for the scammers every time someone fills them in:

5 things that Computer Science Engineering students should focus on

What should students be really focusing on? Somebody asked me this question recently – Imagine students who are in 2nd or 3rd year of their degree course right now. They’ll spend a few years finishing college, and a few years just learning the ropes at their first job. So it will really be about 5 years before their career really starts. What will the software technology world be like at that time, and what are the skills that students can work on acquiring right now to ensure that they are well positioned to thrive?

Of course, 5 years is a long time, and to quote Neils Bohr, prediction is very difficult, especially about the future. Still I think some general trends are clear, and there are some other timeless skills that are worth looking at. Based on that I’m giving my list below.

Let me not bias your thoughts. Before you read my list, skip to the Comment section below, and put down your list. Then read my list and critique it again in the comments. Hopefully we can have a good discussion that will benefit students.But wait!

So, here’s my list of areas students need to be thinking about:

1. The next billion customers: 

The IT revolution has probably reached a billion people of the world so far. In the next 5 years, it will reach the next billion. These will be a very different set of people. Many of them will be illiterate – so you need to focus on non-text, non-English interfaces – video, animations, voice recognition. Search for “English Seekho” to get an idea of what I mean. Most won’t have money or electricity for computers, so mobile devices will rule – so you need to start playing with mobile platforms like Android. In general, search for the “the next billion” and you’ll find some interesting material put together by the likes of Nokia, and MIT giving you ideas on what to focus on.

2. Usability: 

As IT touches the lives of more and more people, less and less of them will be “computer savvy”, and less and less of them will view computing devices as something that needs to be learnt. Consequently, the products that will succeed, will be the ones that are easy to use. And making something easy to use is rather difficult. It is a sub-discipline of computer science, and there is a lot of theory, and a bunch of well-defined algorithms and practices you can use to make things easy to use. The whole area is called HCI (Human Computer Interaction), and UCD (User Centered Design) is a part of it. It’s an area that you must be familiar with.

3. Computer Science Fundamentals: 

This will never go out of fashion, and yes, when I look at students coming out of our colleges, this appears to be a rather neglected area. Far too much emphasis on specific programming languages, and specific “technologies” is a mistake. Whatever the future holds, you will be well served by knowing the basic theory of computer sciences. Learn data-structures and algorithms. If you don’t have a favourite data-structure, and an algorithm that you find beautiful, then your computer science education is incomplete. If, after seeing an algorithm, your first thought is not about the complexity of the algorithm (O(n), O(log n), etc.), then you need to hit your books again. If you’ve only learned Java and C#, and you don’t really understand pointers, heaps, stacks, you will sooner or later be at a disadvantage. Understand the basics. And while you’re at it, also learn mathematics and statistics.

4. Presentation skills:

 This is not a computer science skill, but this is one of the most important skills that computer science students are missing. You must treat presentation as equally important, or more important than your program, design, and algorithms. And you must spend as much time learning presentation (from books, in classes, and in practice) as you spent on programming languages, and computer science subjects. I’m sure you haven’t done that, hence this item in my list. You should know how to write well. Not just papers and documents, but much more importantly, emails, and blog posts, and facebook wall postings, and tweets. You must think about what the user/reader/client wants to know (instead of what you know and want to tell). And of course, you must know how to speak well. How to tell a story instead of listing some arcane facts about your work. How to leave out stuff that you find extremely interesting, but the listener doesn’t.

5. Economics:

 Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert says: “When you have a working knowledge of economics, it’s like having a mild super power.” Basically, if you understand the fundamentals of economics, you can see and understand what drives people and technologies and success and failure a lot better than people who do not understand it. I hated the fact that I was made to study economics in IIT for my computer science course. It seemed like a complete waste of my time. Now, looking back, I think it was probably the most important course.

Five Tips for Entrepreneurs

Maybe you’ve been dreaming since childhood that one day you would invent something amazing and start your own company. Or you taught yourself code as a teenager, all the while scheming to build the next great web property. Or you’re a secret risk-taker, trapped in a corporate day job — and now you’ve got a chance to start that business you’ve always imagined.

I know you. I’ve met you. In fact — I am you. We’re entrepreneurs.

As someone who has launched five companies, I’ve learned a few things over the years. And like other successful entrepreneurs, I love to encourage and mentor rising startup stars.

So here are my five tips for you — the dreamers, the coders, the risk-takers.

Tip #1

We live in an intense and ever-changing era. Markets have crashed. Jobs have disappeared. Industries have been disrupted and are being remade.

But if you’re an entrepreneur, to a large extent your destiny is in your own hands.

And in the new economy you can achieve financial independence on your own terms. You have the power to be as successful, perhaps even wealthy, as you want to be. This is a key insight for any entrepreneur, and a driving force in my own life. Owning my destiny, particularly my financial destiny, is scary at times — but it’s also empowering. Use the fear to power yourself to new heights.

Tip #2

If you’re a new startup or small business it can be difficult to see why you should invest in your brand and reputation.

It’s expensive and time-consuming. You’re not trying to battle with the big brands — yet. But what about the future? You must keep your eye on that future because, ultimately, reputation is everything in business. Your brand is the shorthand way people think about you.

Yes, you’ll have to miss dance recitals and soccer games. Yes, you’ll lose out on a social life. But if you don’t pay attention to the details — customer service, how you are perceived by the outside world, how your company’s image is perceived — you won’t be successful. Why? Because business success comes from returning customers.

Tip #3

We always teach our kids not to be afraid to fail and to pick themselves up and try again. They can’t know all the answers before they start learning, and neither can you. So listen to your own advice. Don’t be a perfectionist when beginning your adventure in entrepreneurship.

Tip #4

Later on, once you’re established, indulge your perfectionism in your product and customer service. But in the beginning, it’s cheaper and better to try, then try again and again until you get the product right.

Tip #5

Take a risk and just do it.

And also love it. The word “passion” is sometimes overused in business, but when it comes to entrepreneurship, it’s a necessity. You must be passionate about what you build because you will spend most of your time working. That’s the reality of starting and owning a business. It’s also the joy.

Millions of people have listened to Steve Jobs’ 2005 commencement speech at Stanford, and for good reason. He nailed the passion issue: “You’ve got to find what you love… Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.”

And that’s my most important advice to you: Do it. Love it. Don’t settle for less.
