"Access your Personal Computer from Anywhere"

If you are traveling and you need a
file which resides in your Personal
Computer then what will you do?
Don’t worry I am here to help you
Folks.

Today I came up with a very
important topic “Access your Personal Computer from Anywhere”
Through
Remote PC you can access your
personal computer from anywhere in
the world!!!

Opera Unite, by using this tool one can easily turn his computer into a web server and can access documents on that computer from any other web browser. Opera Unite is a standard web server and it allows us to download files directly from the computer without uploading.

Copernic is popular desktop accessing software that is used to find emails, pictures and other files on Windows computer. Copernic also have a
component called myCopernic on the Go for remotely searching the content stored on the home or office computer. One can preview the search results and then download them to your mobile phone or remote PC.

Another option is GBridge.. it allows you to setup a virtual private network using your Google Account. Now a day’s many companies are using VPNs
to let employees access their data
over an unsecure public network
(Internet) with this tool. It also
allows home users to build their own VPNs to access remote files more securely.

But in my personal opinion the best option is Windows Live Sync at sync.live.com for remotely accessing files over the Internet. You have to just install the Live Sync client on your computer and you can access the entire hard drive of that computer simply through the Windows Live Sync website.

Live Sync is available for both Mac
and Windows.

Tips To Make Your Old PC Or Laptop New!!!

Upgrading Hardware

If you’re okay with spending some
money on hardware upgrades, it’s
recommended! However, before you make any changes to your hardware,
you should backup your system
First.

Memory

By adding more memory to your
machine is the easiest way to
enhance performance of an older
machine.

Upgrade graphics card

You can even choose to upgrade its
graphics card to enhance your
computer’s performance, specially
when your motherboard has
integrated graphics. In case, you are unsure of type of expansion slots you have, make use of the utility SIW,
which is available for free.

Hard Drive

By getting a larger and faster hard
drive is another way to enhance the performance of your PC. In most laptops, the hard drive is 4200RPM,
and it is possible to upgrade to a
5400 or 7200RPM drive that should enhance read/write performance.

CPU

If you’re an advanced user, it is
highly recommended that you
upgrade your Desktop CPU in order to improve its performance. You need to find out what CPUs are compatible
with your motherboard and chipset.

Reinstall Windows

After extensive use, Windows OS
starts slowing down. It is likely to
happen even when you do regular
maintenance such as using Disk
Cleanup, defragmentation of your
hard drive, and cleaning of your
system with utilities such as
CCleaner. But, before you reinstall
your OS, you need to ensure that you backup your crucial data!
Use Portable Apps
If you want to avoid installing a
bunch of new software on your old
machine, you might consider taking a look at Portable Apps. You can run these from your USB flash drive and they don’t need any installation. You
can save your data to the flash drive without clogging up your local drive.
Also, you’ll have the additional
benefit of bringing your favorite apps to any machine.

Install a Light Version of Linux
Puppy Linux

If your older laptop is running XP
and doesn’t have the power to run
Windows 7 OS adequately, check out Puppy Linux that can be used to add life to it. It is only 130MB and comfortably runs on any machine from the past 15 years. You just need a Pentium 166MMX CPU and 128MB of RAM as minimum requirement.

DSL Linux

DSL is another light Linux distro
which is small in size and just like
Puppy Linux is possible to from a Live CD, flash drive. You can even install it inside Windows. It is only 50MB in size and can run on machines with 16MB of RAM!

Create a unique Facebook profile picture

At the top of your Facebook profile,
you'll see the five most recent
pictures containing a picture of you.
You can use this section of your
profile to make a more unique and
original profile picture by extending
the main profile picture into these
recent pictures. As can be seen in
the picture to the right, this profile
takes a larger image and spreads it
from the profile picture into the
recent pictures across the top.
This can be accomplished using the
free Pic Scatter online tool. With
this tool, you can upload any picture
and adjust the picture to be shown
in the profile section, the top five
images, and even the wall.

Notice;

When using this technique
any time you or a friend tags you in
a photo it will be posted in the top
section of your profile ruining this
effect. To keep this effect, hide any
new photo by clicking the x that
appears when hovering the mouse in
the top right-corner of the picture.
