With the Internet growing bigger and bigger by the day, people have started thinking, what if someone tried to steal precious information from them, like credit card numbers or important phone numbers? Each individual gives another meaning to the useful information, but all of them agree with this: there are some pretty important things that must be kept safe and far from any danger. This is how password-management software was born. With this kind of programs, you could easily create and manage passwords, so that you and only you can have access to them. But some of the software in this category have gone further, providing the users with the possibility to generate a password by themselves, memorize it, and then keep it safe until they need it. PasswordAnywhere is such a software, indeed very useful when one really needs to keep their precious information safe. The Looks PasswordAnywhere is created in the Java programming language, so it is available on multiple platfo!
rms. Because of that, the menus have been kept to a minimum and are very scarce. There are some File and Help tabs, but they do not have any functionality for the program. It might be difficult to understand how to use PasswordAnywhere when first starting it, but the help is pretty complete and useful, so that you can easily find use...

At the start of this week, abundant speculation that Microsoft was going to release Windows 7 to manufacturing on the first day of the Worldwide Partner Conference 2009, New Orleans, July 13, 2009, was confirmed officially by Microsoft's Bill Veghte, senior vice president, Windows Business. At the same time, the Redmond company squashed the rumors on the official Windows team blog indicating Windows 7 had not been signed off, and that RTM would come in late July 2009. Subsequently, Veghte's words were altered in order to correct a transcription error, and to reveal that Windows 7 would be wrapped up by the end of this month, rather than on July 13th. Further fueling rumors of the imminent Windows 7 RTM was Windows 7 Build 7600, leaked at the end of the past week and available for download in the wild. 6.1.7600.16384.win7_rtm.090710-1945, compiled on July 10th, 2009, was initially offered by torrent trackers and warez websites as a VHD image designed for use with a virtual!
machine. Still, following Microsoft denying that Windows 7 Build 7600.16384 was the gold release of the next iteration of the Windows client, the ISO of the 64-bit flavor of 7600.16384 also made its way out of Redmond. No, 6.1.7600.16384.win7_rtm.090710-1945 is not Windows 7 RTM. Microsoft has, since the leak, produced an inte...

HTTP:: Oracle Increases Prices on Some Database Components
--------
Everyone's feeling the economic downturn and, while some have fared better than others, even the big companies are turning to new ways of generating more revenue. Oracle, one of the leading database and enterprise software manufacturers in the world, has increased the price of some of its products by a full 40 percent. While the price for the enterprise version of its database license has stayed the same, some components, experts say, that are crucial have seen their prices jacked since December last year. Oracle's enterprise-edition database system is priced at $47,500 per CPU, the same as before, however, the database Diagnostic and Tuning packs, part of the Database Enterprise Management modules, as well as the Configuration Management pack are now $5,000 each, up from $3,500. The optional Spacial database has also seen a price increase, from $11,500 to $17,500. While these may not be necessary for the database system, they provide valuable options that many companies !
have come to rely on. There is no official explanation for the price increase, but, for those in the business, it is clear that Oracle is looking to get better margins from its high-end products. With every new version, the components have become more intertwined with the main database software, and they provide very valuable too...

South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics unveiled to the world its LG GD910 watch phone at the beginning of the ongoing year, and already announced that the handset would become available for purchase on the European market via wireless carrier Orange, though no details on the possible availability of the device in other markets were unveiled. Even so, it seems that the watch phone is also getting ready to make its appearance in the United States, as it has just gotten the FCC approval for use in the country. Hopefully, this means that the phone is, indeed, getting ready for the stateside trip, and those who already live in hope of the device coming will have a reason to rejoice. Unfortunately, it seems that no other details on the phone have been unveiled at the moment. The one thing that is certain now is that LG has gotten its watch phone wandering through FCC's hallways, and that this is enough for most of us to expect a launch in the country in the near futur!

Almost two weeks ago, as the world was still struggling to cope with the idea that the King of Pop had, indeed, passed away, word got out that he had two new albums in the works at the time of death. While that is still to be determined, TMZ has uncovered a previously unreleased Michael Jackson song, “A Place with No Name.” The song has not been made available in its entirety, but even the bit that is now online is enough to make “A Place with No Name” the first posthumous Michael Jackson song. Bearing a striking similarity to the 1971 instant hit by band America “A Horse with No Name,” it is not yet certain when Michael recorded his version, or whether he had any plans of releasing it any time soon or at all. “The song â€" ‘A Place with No Name’ â€" sounds similar to the song ‘A Horse with No Name’ released by the group America back in 1971. We’re told several years ago America’s manager gave his group’s permission for Jackson to record the s!

Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has unveiled to the world its first handset that boasts an 8-megapixel photo snapper only recently, yet it seems that it is determined to make the Nokia N86 8MP available on as many markets as possible in the shortest period of time. The high-end device has been spotted in FCC's courtyard about two months ago, and now the company has announced that the phone will become available in the US via the Nokia Flagship Stores and online on the Nokia USA site, during the following weeks. The price tag for the phone has been set at $558, the company adds. The Nokia N86 8MP seems to be a great device for the US market, which joins other 8MP behemoths that are available in the country, including the Sony Ericsson C905a that went live on AT&amp;T's airwaves only three days ago. What this device has to offer to users includes a camera that sports dual LED flash, video light, variable diaphragm and Carl Zeiss Tessar optics. In addition, the phone also c!

They were long considered a perfect match for each other, despite a relatively small age gap. At one point, there was even talk that Jermaine Dupri had asked Janet Jackson to marry him and she had said yes, putting the wedding off only for a little longer. Now, Us Weekly is reporting that the two have actually split because they made the biggest mistake in showbiz, namely that of mixing business with pleasure. Often referred to as one of the strongest couples in the celebrity world, Janet and Jermaine have drifted apart in recent months. However, trouble in their relationship reared its ugly head earlier than that, at about the time when Dupri said he would produce some tracks for Janet. When two consecutive albums she put out failed to get the anticipated reaction from fans and critics, Jackson ignited pent-up frustrations, while also partially blaming Dupri for the failure, sources are now saying for the mag. “His friends are telling people it’s over. They have be!

With November still a long way to go, when the second installment comes out, Taylor Lautner is doing his best to keep fans on his toes, as shown in his latest interview with HitFix.The interview took place back in May but, for reasons not disclosed, it’s just now that publication is running it. It comes to perfectly accompany a photo that was just released by Summit Entertainment, showing Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) having a very intense moment inside a car, where it can be easily seen both that Bella is toying with her friend and that Jacob is desperately in love with her. Speaking of which, Taylor tells HitFix it was initially hard for him to get to understand and become the character he’s playing. Once he did, though, he felt immense pity for him. “I don’t feel bad one bit; I feel bad !

Hello and welcome to another edition of A Gamer's Week, your roundup of everything hot and interesting from the gaming industry in the last seven days. This past week has been a rollercoaster for gamers, as while upcoming games received new details, others were sadly delayed and scheduled for next year. Speculations were also abundant, partly due to analysts making predictions about what the second half of 2009 will bring for us. Also, the NPD numbers are in and we already have them dissected for you. Without further ado, here's this edition of A Gamer's Week. Monday brought some great news for Electronic Arts fans, as the eagerly anticipated Need for Speed Shift title received the very first details on its drift mode. It seems that a lot of hard work has gone into it and it will certainly deliver a great experience for racing fans. Those who want to test their managerial skills in the FIFA franchise from EA Sports also got an interesting piece of news, as players of FIFA !
Manager 10 will be able to go head to head against other people online. Tuesday saw a piece of news a bit sad for those who eagerly anticipated BioShock 2, as its publisher, Take Two, announced that the game had been delayed and it would take players on an underwater experience through Rapture in 2010. Until then though, it seems that the upcoming Supe...

Gerard Butler has often denied the many rumors related to his love life that are being constantly circulated in the media. For once, the so-called “womanizer” (a label Butler has also contested) is speaking out on the many women in his life: he’s in love and planning to marry co-star Jennifer Aniston, the actor reveals on Conan O’Brien, as LA Times Blogs can confirm. And this is not where he draws the line either, since, after marrying Aniston, Gerard will also marry Cameron Diaz, and then Joan Rivers. As fans must know, humor and being able to never take insignificant things like this rumor too seriously are two of Butler’s known attributes. So, despite having already insisted that he and Aniston were nothing but close friends and, of course, two professionals working on the same project, he was forced to make light of the situation when he saw his words were falling on deaf ears. “We’re very much in love. Especially her. We’re actually going to tie the!

Wikipedia has been working on video support for years now, but the rumors about an impending launch are intensifying. And now, Erik Moller, deputy director of the Wikimedia Foundation, is saying that the new feature is coming very soon in the coming months, and that there are already some pages with video content enabled. The technology has been in the works for several years now, but, after the announcement that the Wikimedia Foundation, the organization behind Wikipedia, had partnered with open source video provider and platform Kaltura, things remained quiet. Last month, some new information began to surface, like the sources for most of the videos and the tools that users would be provided with to make it easy to upload a video. Moller told Beer.TV in an interview more details about the technical side of the project and especially the reason behind using the open source video codec Ogg Theora and its audio counterpart Vorbis, and not the more popular H.264 video cod!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are dying to make a sequel to the action/spy movie that brought them together in 2005, when he was still married to former “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston. “Mr. and Mrs. Smith 2” would, however, serve no purpose in terms of moviemaking, since the two see the project as the only thing that can still save their doomed relationship, the National Enquirer says (via Marie Claire). It seems that things between the two are going from bad to worse, if one were to believe the reports currently making the rounds in the press and online media. Brad and Angelina have spent most of the past months separated, each working on different projects, which has only added more tension to their relationship. Thus, they have come up with the idea of working together again â€" and what better way to do so than with a sequel to the film that got them to meet and made them fall in love years ago. Of course, since so much time has passed in between, the story wi!

In what is turning out to be a very bad move by Amazon, the book seller informed some of its customers on Thursday that some e-books they bought and thought they owned had been deleted from their Kindle reader and they'd be getting a refund instead. Not surprisingly, they weren't happy and turned very vocal about it. Having a company remotely remove an item you have purchased is enough to make you begin to believe in Big Brother conspiracy theories. Oh, and the best part, the e-books in question are George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984), the classic dystopian novel about a totalitarian regime, and Animal Farm. “The Kindle edition books Animal Farm by George Orwell.

HTTP:: Startup Item Control

Depending on how many applications we install every day or on a weekly basis, Windows is loading more and more components at startup. The small apps, like a text editor, image viewer or a browser, do not necessary add components to startup, but bigger ones, like antivirus, malware scanners and removers or power management software, claim a place in startup order. This is why it is very important to create a startup list, with delay time if necessary, in order to gain time at startup, because the hardware components are not always the sole cause for system slowdowns and crawling startups. Situation: your PC is running a dual-core CPU &gt; 1.5GHz with 2GB of RAM that is trying to load Windows, an antivirus product, a RSS reader that needs to check for the latest news, an Internet browser like IE or Firefox with 50 tabs to be opened, a few power management services and also a bittorrent client.

Charts and sales rule the world around us, and now, thanks to the NPD group, we can see how they ruled the world of video games in the month of June. Don't forget that what was said in the hardware chart is also true for this software one. Drops were registered across the board and a comparison to the month of June 2008 shows an overall decrease of 31 percent. NPD analyst Anita Frazier revealed that: “this month saw the greatest year-over-year monthly decline since September 2000, when the industry declined 41 percent.” In terms of video game sales, the loss was pegged at around 29 percent, as the charts show 234.64 million dollars in recorded sales.
