Tip to Trace Any Phone Number in the World


Sometimes we cannot even identify which country the missed call is from (except ofcourse the ones from our home country and a few others for which we know the international dialing code).
Then how do we find it?


Centralized database
There is a centralized database which has the following details about almost every phone number in the world.

1. Type of Number
2. Country
3. City / State / Exchange location
4. Original Network Provider

1. Type of Number
This specifies whether the number is a Mobile number or a Landline/Fixed line referred as Geographic number. There is also a type of number called NonGeographic Number in countries like UK which is not linked to any specific location/city.
2. Country
It is the country the number belongs to.
3. City / State / Exchange location
This gives the city and exchange location information for a fixed line phone and the zone or state for a mobile number.
4. Original Network Provider
This is the actual telecom company providing the service like Airtel, BSNL, Verizon, T-Mobile etc. But network provider listed here may not be the present network/service provider because Number Portability is not taken into account.

How can you use this service?
To use this service go to This Page and enter the number in the international format.
+
Eg. +12532532533 or +923335721248
For fixed line phones, enter as follows:
+
Eg. +919999999999

You can also use 00 instead of + .

कंप्‍यूटर प्रयोग और स्‍वास्‍थ्‍य

आज की बदलती जीवनशैली में कंप्यूटर या लैपटाप का प्रयोग हमारी आवश्‍यकता है, इस बात को नकारा नहीं जा सकता। कंप्यूटर आज हम सब की ज़रूरत बन गया है। हम कंप्यूटर पर बहुत सी बातों के लिए निर्भर होते जा रहे हैं। हर हाल में कंप्यूटर का इस्तेमाल करना हमारी ज़रूरत बन गया है और इसके निगेटिव प्रभावों को तो हम सभी जानते हैं।
आंखों में तनाव के अलावा इनसे सरदर्द, कमरदर्द, कंधों का दर्द और गर्दन में दर्द होना बहुत ही आम बात है। ऐसी स्थितियों में हम क्या कर के अपने आपको इसके निगेटिव प्रभावों से बचा सकते हैं। कम्यूटर का इस्तेमाल करते हुए कुछ सावधानियां बरतकर और कुछ तरीके अपनाकर हम अपने आपको कम्प्यूटर के निगेटिव प्रभावों से बचा सकते हैं। कुछ टिप्स जिन्हें इस्तेमाल करने में बस कुछ मिनट लगते हैं।
  •  कम से कम 8 ग्लास पानी पीयें। पानी का सब्सटिट्यूट काफी ,चाय या साफ्ट ड्रिंक्स नहीं हो सकते।
  • लगातार मानीटर के सामने ना बैठें बल्कि हर 30 से 40 मिनट पर ब्रेक लेते रहें। ऐसा करने से ना केवल आपकी आंखों को आराम मिलेगा बल्कि आपके पैरों में भी सर्कुलेशन ठीक रहता है।
  •  खिड़की के बाहर की प्राकृतिक हरी या नीली वस्तुओं को देखने की कोशिश करें। हरी या नीली वस्तुएं आंखों को आराम देती हैं। पलकों को जितना हो सके झपकाने की कोशिश करें।
  • अपने हाथों की मदद से अपनी आंखों को समय समय पर ढकने की कोशिश करें। आंखों पा ठंडे पानी के छींटे मारें ऐसा करनेे से भी आपकी आंखों को आराम मिलेगा।
  • अगर आप चश्मे का इस्तेमाल करते हैं तो दिन में एक बार चश्मे को धो लें। जिससे कि आपके चश्में में छिपे धूल के कण निकल जायें।
  • कंधों को आराम देने की कोशिश करें। काम के बीच बीच में अपने कुधों को 10 सेकण्ड के लिए घुमाएं। अपने सर को भी 5 सेकण्ड के लिए आगे पीछे और दायें बायें घुमाएं। हाथों के साथ भी ऐसा ही करें ा इससे आपके शरीर में रक्त का संचार ठीक रहेगा।
  • स्वीमिंग करने ,दौड़ने जैसे व्यायाम में हिस्सा लेने की कोशिश करें और हर रोज़ व्यायाम को अपनी आदत में शामिल कर लें।
  • कंप्यूटर पर काम करने वालों को लगातार बैठकर बहुत समय बिताना पड़ता है इसलिए उन्हें पाचन क्रीया से सम्बन्धित बीमारियां भी होने का खतरा रहता है इसलिए ऐसे लोगों को हल्का खाना खाना चाहिए।
  • सुबह उठकर खिड़की के सामने खड़े होकर 5 से 10 बार लम्बी सांसे ले और आप कुछ योगासन भी कर सकते हैं।

Apple releases patch for Flashback virus

Apple on Thursday released an identification and removal tool for the most widespread virus ever to hit its computers.
The Java security update removes the most common variants of the Flashback malware, which was found to have infected some 600,000 Macs last week.
The malware, discovered last week by Russian security firm Dr Web, is designed to grab passwords and other information by posing as a legitimate browser plug-in at a malicious website. Once installed, the software sends personal information back to remote servers.
The Mac operating system was previously widely thought to be immune to the widespread security issues that have plagued Windows computers over the years.
Apple’s patch was rushed to users several days after independent security companies issued their own patches for the malware.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 620 Review


Samsung Galaxy Tab 620
Samsung Galaxy Tab 620 is not the first tablet in the Galaxy family. But it surely is one of the sleekest among a family of 750, 730 and 680. With a choice of products under same brand, consumers not only demand more, but their desires are fulfilled in various ways. If you do not seek for 10.1-inch tablet, then you can consider something else from Galaxy and could satisfy your requirements. No wonder, there are differences in all the tablets which could bring you your desired results.
Design
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 620 comes with 7-inch display, which is much smaller and lighter than Apple's iPad or iPad 2. The advantages of the compact design are that it weighs just 345 grams, has a better battery backup, and feels more comfortable and portable while using it. Of course, the experience of maps and videos is a bit marred by the smaller display.
The design is not different from its predecessors, but the tablet has a clean and elegant look thanks to oodles of good quality glossy plastic. The edges are rounded; the sides have graceful slopes and are framed with thin aluminum to cover the screen. One big problem is that the battery can't be removed. But then again, that's a common issue with most tablets in the market, these days.
The Tab has a MicroSD card slot and a SIM card slot, both being at the left side of the device. Additionally, the power button as well as volume rocker are placed at the right side of the device.

Performance
The tablet is powered by a 1.2 GHz Exynos processor, which is different from the 1 GHz Tegra 2 processor, loaded in 750. Due to the faster processor, users can load and play games easily, can surf Internet quickly, and can also run apps without much hassle. The tablet is equipped with 7-inch PLS (plane-to-line switching) panel. The resolution offered is 1024x600. While the display has impressive viewing angles, the maximum brightness possible on the tablet is not much. But then again, more often than not, users keep the brightness level to as low as possible to save battery.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 620 comes loaded with 1 GB RAM and internal memory storage of 16 GB, upgradable to 48GB with the help of a 32GB microSD card. It is also capable of showing full HD videos in 1080p. It also supports the more popular formats like AVI, MP4 & MKV.
Just like the Galaxy Note. The Tab 620 also allows you to make phone calls using the SIM card. While it is possible to pick up the "phone" to your ear, I shall strongly advise you to use the supplied headsets, or a Bluetooth headset, in case you really have to make a phone call using a 7-inch tablet.
Honeycomb installed in the tablet is more than capable in performing the daily tasks of emailing, browsing, reading news, multimedia and more. Thanks to our increasing dependence on Google's suit of software, Android does make a compelling mobile OS of choice. Nonetheless, the fact that there is still no news of ICS landing on the Samsung Galaxy series of tablets and phones is a huge disappointment.
Battery
The tablet comes loaded with a 4000 mAh battery. Our tests showed that it easily survived over 12 hours during cases of moderate social media updates, emailing, browsing on 3G and listening to music. It also lasted for about 7 hours with a 1080p videos being played in loop. While we did not make many phone calls with the tablet, we are confident that the tablet should easily last the day for a regular user.

Verdict
If you are planning to buy the Tab 620 because you want an iPad, you are looking at the wrong place. This baby is not a "cheaper iPad". It is a different tablet in its own right. I own a PlayBook myself, and I felt like selling it off in replacement of the Tab 620, after just one week of usage.
The Tab 620 is buttery smooth when it comes to the raw processing power. The customized TouchWizUI from Samsung is also very functional and hardly makes you want to switch to the default Honeycomb experience.
One of the major reasons of buying a 7-inch tablet is to read - be it an occasional novel, news updates, or even stock quotes. And that is here this 7 incher shines bright and loud. It is so small that we could even make it fit into our jeans and trouser pockets. It is extremely easy to carry and flip out even in the middle of the road. It is also super simple to type with two thumbs in the portrait mode, something you can never dream of with a tablet.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 620 is undoubtedly the best 7-inch tablet in the market, and at Rs. 25,900, it is a very good bargain. Do not get fooled by the cheap prices of BlackBerry PlayBook or the Reliance 3G tablet. If you want quality, and great selection of apps, along with a great tablet size to read on, it is time to flip out that credit card!

BEWARE: Fake Angry Birds malware

Angry Birds Space is available for download. 
 
Before you hit the button to download your favourite Angry Birds Space app on your Android, do ensure that it is not the fake game app which has a Trojan malware. According to web security firm Sophos, "The malicious download is a functional version of Angry Birds Space that gains access to your phone using a Trojan horse called Andr/KongFu-L. The cybercriminals behind the fake game can direct your phone to any website, once you've installed their Trojan," reports Mashable. Rovio has warned on its blogpost, "As you get ready to pop pigs in zero gravity, watch out for fake versions of Angry Birds Space, and make sure to download safe by getting the official game from Rovio."
"The phony app appears to be a fully-functional version of the popular smartphone game," except that it installs malicious software on Android that takes over one's phone," reports Sophos.
Angry Birds Space has been downloaded 3 million times in the three days following its release on March 22.
