I moved out because I wasn’t the most famous. If the Manson Family had come, I wouldn’t have been Sharon Tate; I would have been one of the supporting victims, and who wants that? Janeane Garofalo moved into my old room. Anyway, ‘Cho’ written in blood on the wall doesn’t look as cool as ‘Garofalo.’

We have received many problems mentioning that they are not able to format their pen drives. Some of them have written that the pen drive capacity displayed is not correct.
When they try to format the pen drive, Windows Shows error "Can not format the pen drive". There can be more than one reasons behind such problems, some of the common problems are:
1. Virus or trojan infection.
2. Corrupted flash chips on the pen drive (hardware fault)
3. Fake pen drives ! (Many such drives are there in the markets, beware)
Lets see what to do to fix the issues.
Fix:
Virus or trojan infections:
Virus or trojans can run some process that keeps running in background. This not only harms the computer, but also prevents the pen drive from formatting as it shows that the drive is in use. Remove and re-insert the pen drive, don’t double click on drive and cancel autorun operations if it starts automatically. Run a virus scan on pen drive, this will help fix the issue. Now format the pen drive.
Always take precautions while using pen drives on other computers.

When we used to see that eye catching internet browser in our friend?s Mac we didn’t expect to see it in our PC. All of us thought that such an Apple product would be always just for Mac users, but now we can enjoy that amazing browser in our Windows OS. Safari for Windows includes several good features and options behind that really good interface. Tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, forms autofill, built-in RSS, private browsing,…
The first steps of Safari on Windows haven&39;t been as good as Apple thought and that can be really good for users, because from now on, Apple will work really hard in order to improve Safari.
The elegant interface of Safari and its expected performance can be a good reason to give Safari a try. It is said to be faster than any other browser, but it needs a bit more beta testing period
OpenOffice, is a free cross-platform office application suite available for a number of different computer operating systems. It supports the ISO/IEC standard OpenDocument Format (ODF) for data interchange as its default file format, as well as Microsoft Office formats among others. As of November 2008[update], OpenOffice supports over 45 languages. OpenOffice.org was originally derived from StarOffice, an office suite developed by StarDivision and acquired by Sun Microsystems in August 1999. The source code of the suite was released in July 2000 with the aim of reducing the dominant market share of Microsoft Office by providing a free and open alternative;
later versions of StarOffice are based upon OpenOffice.org with additional proprietary components.
The project and software are informally referred to as OpenOffice, but this term is a trademark held by a company in the Netherlands co-founded by Wouter Hanegraaff and is also in use by Orange UK, requiring the project to adopt OpenOffice.org as its formal name.

Free Language Translator is a desktop language translator application using the Google translation service. It adds more features to the existing service and addresses some of its shortcomings.
Quick guide for using this free multi language translator:
* Open a text document or paste some text here, select the “To” and “From” languages, click on the “Translate” and select one of the options from the menu.
* You can create your custom dictionary to correct the online translation and save them for further use when using the “Translate and use Custom Dictionary” menu option.
* In order to add an entry to your Custom Dictionary, select the text to be corrected, right click in the translation panel and select “Add to Custom Dictionary”. You will be able to make further changes manually by typing into the translation panel while tracking the synchronized original panel.
* The status bar can display an optional empiric quality of translation. Selecting a smaller page size increases the translation time a little bit, but at the same time, for large amount of text, it can improve translation accuracy and synchronization between the original and translation panels.
* You can also set the orientation of the panels from the combo box on the status bar.
* Finally, select the translated text and copy into the clipboard, right click in the translation panel and choose “Copy Selection”, or just save it as a file using the “Save File” icon in the toolbar.
