How to Configure Automatic Login in Windows 8

For enabling an automatic login to Windows 8, you need to configure your user account. The procedure is similar to Windows 7 with some minor changes:

1. To configure a user account, you need to configure netplwiz settings. To open netplwiz in Windows 8, you need to log into the user account. You are taken to the Metro UI start screen. Hit Win+R or go to Search from the new Start Menu, select Select Apps and type netplwiz in the search bar. This should open the User Accounts screen on the Desktop.

2. Now, you can see all available users in Windows 8. Now, select user from the list that you want to auto login during Windows 8 startup and remove tick mark from “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” option.


To enable this feature, you must enter password for the selected user. So enter selected user password and press OK button for apply.


It is complete yet simple process to enable automatic login on Windows 8. It is a good option but raises some serious privacy and security concerns for both the user and the computer for a mulitple access computer. So, I think you should try this tweak only if you have a single user computer or private computer.

Tricks : How To decrypt and clone copy-protected DVDs

A big problem with DVDs is that they’re awfully prone to scratches, and a scratched DVD is a non-playing DVD.Unfortunately, most DVD movies are copy protected or CSS encrypted in order to prevent you from copying them. It’s alleged purpose is to stop piracy, but it also keeps a legitimate owners from copying movies who want to backup their DVDs in order to protect them from scratches. 


I for one, like to make copies of the movies and games that I own, just to have a backup. I’m also a fan of copying DVDs to my media-center hard drive for faster, easier viewing. But you can find it hard to do so unless you have a good DVD cloning software that is capable of decrypting copy-protected DVDs.


How to Rip and Burn (Clone) Copy Protected DVDs? These DVD copy software contains a DVD ripper or DVD decryption utility, which de-scrambles the DVD’s copy protection or CSS encryption and allows the software to burn a perfect copy of any DVD… including copy protected DVDs.With current technology, copying DVD movies ( even CSS encrypted and copy protected DVDs ), is a very simple one-step push button operation… if you have the right DVD copy software. Really… it’s so easy that anybody can easily make an EXACT CLONE of any dvd within seconds!

How to Copy/Crack a Decrypted (Protected) DVD within Seconds! DVDFab DVD Copy is an amazing DVD ripper/clone/burner software that is very efficient if you want to clone a DVD, rip DVD quickly, decrypt copy protected, transfer and playback to a compatible-device – all in a flexible and fast way.Unlike traditional DVD rippers, which convert movies into mobile-friendly video files, DVD Copy is designed explicitly for copying DVDs to blank discs and/or your hard drive (in ISO format). It can perform 1:1-ratio copies or add compression (great for fitting movies onto single-layer discs.

DVDFab has a built-in CSS decyptor (which we love), supports multiple languages, removes region codes, retains or omits bonus material, restores defective or scratched DVDs and supports most configurations.To top it up, the program offers eight different copy modes, including the option to split a DVD onto two blank discs (again, useful for single-layer media). It also has the option to remove FBI warnings and make the copied disc jump directly to the main menu (bypassing all the previews).

hacker can hack the battery module and stop the charging of your Mac

What Apple Macbook Battery Hacking is About? 
Charlie is just someone who wants his Mac to be safe from hackers. He is not out there to make Apple feel embarrassed. He wants Apple to go one step further, and make its devices foolproof. “I don’t want to be their adversary. I want to have them fix stuff — and I want them to get better“, Charlie said.If you have a software problem or if someone hacks your device, you can reboot and have your system running like a horse again. But what to do when someone can affect the hardware with the use of a software? Charlie Miller has found a way to shut down the charging system in your Mac by playing around with the software. 


 How Apple Macbook Battery Hack Works? 
There is a dedicated system for charging your laptop. There is a constant interaction between a computer and its battery module. The battery module is responsible for calculating how much more battery the computer needs, when to cut the power off. And for running that battery module, Apple has given software.

This software has passwords, so that a user does not rupture it in any way. Charlie Miller just goggled for those passwords and found them. He hacked his Mac, entered the passwords and changed the software according to what he wanted it to do. And now he can do many queer things.He can change the software in a way that the computer doesn’t know whether the battery is connected to it or not. And your Mac won’t get charged, and you will just keep checking the battery wire connectivity to your Mac. And will keep checking if the battery is plugged in properly to the electric socket. 


Implications: If someone is heartless enough, he can force your Mac to blow. And it’s not in theory. If someone changes the battery software in such a way that the computer keeps getting charged, then it can blow up, leaving you with burns.
 

Solution: 
The solution is that Apple should change the default passwords which are keyed in when the Mac is manufactured. Charlie presented his hacking technique at the Black Hat security conference. And he thinks that changing the passwords will stop this kind of Mac hacking. So, if next time you are going out to buy a Mac, then do open your wallet with a pinch of concern.







How To Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion


There are two ways to delete the app under Mac OS X 10.7: the easy way using the GUI, and quick way for advanced users using the command line.
Remove iTunes Using the Finder 

  • Quit iTunes 
  • Navigate to /Applications and locate iTunes app 
  • Select iTunes and hit Command+i to “Get Info” on the application 
  • Click on the Arrow next to “Sharing & Permissions” to reveal the access panel 
  • Click on the lock icon and authenticate with your administrator password 
  • Under “Privilege” set both instances of “everyone” to “Read & Write” 
  • Close out the Get Info window and drag iTunes to the Trash, and then empty the trash 
Remember that without another version of iTunes available for Mac OS X to use, you will likely encounter errors in various places, plus it will make it impossible to sync and backup iOS hardware like an iPhone or iPad. Basically, if you don’t have a good reason to be removing iTunes, such as to downgrade or ditch the colorized version, than you should keep it around.

Delete iTunes via the Terminal
This is a quicker method for users who are comfortable with the command line:
Launch the Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities/ Type the following commands to kill iTunes:
killall iTunes
Now kill the Helper process:
killall "iTunes Helper"
Now to delete the actual application, use this command:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
Authenticate the sudo command, note there is no warning for the actual deletion of the app
As usual, be careful with the rm command because if you mistype the file path, you will delete other things without warning. This is why we recommend the command line for more advanced users only.

Google brings out Flight Search

Google introduced a web-based tool that lets you find and book flights.Google provided what it called an “early look” at the service on Tuesday with flights to and from a handful of cities, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas and Minneapolis. Participating airlines include Delta, JetBlue, Continental and American.

Flight Search is a more user friendly version of a service Google launched in May. It offered flight info when you typed “flights from [a city] to [another city]” in the Google search window.Google made its first formal foray into that segment last July with the $700 million purchase of ITA, developer of the airfare search and pricing system QPX that is used by major airlines.

A video below explains the service further:
