The World's Most Famous Hacker
Vladimir Levin
Hi all, he is the best hacker in the world. His claim to fame is that this mathematician who graduated from St. Petersburg Tekhnologichesky University was well the brain behind the Russian hacker gang that cheated Citibank's computers into giving out $10 million. Although his first use of a computer is unknown Vladimir was allegedly using his office computer at AO Saturn, a small computer firm in St. Petersburg, Russia, to break into Citibank computers.
Mr. Vladimir Levin was arrested at the Heathrow airport in 1995. TheTools used by him included a computer, computer games and some disks, a camcorder, music speakers and a TV set all of which were found by the Russian police at his apartment. And during his trial, Levin alleged that one of his defence lawyers was actually an FBI agent.

ORKUT PRIVACY GET HACKED
After the album hack, here is another blow to the orkut's privacy features. Just after orkut released the feature to block strangers viewing your scrapbook , Rodrigo Lacerda, the one responsible for digging up most of the exploits on the orkut, has come up with this hack to view the locked scrap books.
How To Use this orkut Hack?
There are three ways to use this privacy hack.You can choose the one that best suits you.
a> Login To Your Sandbox Profile and Directly View The Locked Scrapbook
or
b> Using this Javascript :
- Navigate the profile which has disallowed non-friends to view the scrapbook
- Run this script in the address bar
- Wait for 4 to 5 seconds and you will get to see the scraps.
or
c> Userscript - The Recommended Method because you need not run any script again and again. Kindly follow the instructions stated below:
- Install the Grease Monkey in case you don't have it - Click Here
- Install View Locked Scrapbook Script
- In case you have any problems downloading or operating these cool scripts, you must read the tutorial.
- That is all .

ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR
This one will Create sophisticated vector artwork for virtually any medium with Adobe® Illustrator CS3 software. Capture your ideas easily with industry-standard drawing tools, and experiment freely with flexible new color controls. Experience tight integration with other Adobe applications, and let improved performance help speed you through creating extraordinary graphics.
The New features includes Live Color, which provides tools for creating color harmonies based on color theory, and the ability to dynamically apply colors to selected objects and shift the tone of an entire illustration at one time. Remapping controls are also provided for reducing the numbers of colors in an artwork. Also the new things are better integration with Flash, with named symbol instances and dynamic/static text; improved drawing tools and controls; faster run time performance; an Eraser tool that works on vector objects; a Crop Area tool; and an improved Isolation Mode for groups and symbol definitions.

WINRAR 2008 CRYSTAL
Hi all, this is the new WinRAR is a 32-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, an archiver and archive manager. RAR files can usually compress content by 8 percent to 15 percent more than ZIP files can. The Unicode is supported in the archive filenames, allowing some non-English file names to be handled pain lessly. You can manipulate the parameters of many archives at once and view a volume sequence as a single archive. This Win RAR can convert other archive formats to RAR and search for specified text and files in archives.

HOW TO MINIMISE MICROSOFT RIBBON MENU ?
The Ribbon Menu user interface of the Microsoft Office 2007 is one of the best features which we have seen in Microsoft Products in the recent past.
With this Ribbon Menus it is very easy to locate the required options in Office 2007. But they take up lot of space and leaves small work area in the application window. If you think this Ribbon is too big that you can minimise it and still retain all the functionality with smaller footprint.
To minimize the Ribbon, just right click an open area on the Ribbon and choose "Minimize the Ribbon"
When the Ribbon is hidden you can access all the options by clicking a tab which relates to the type of activity. The Ribbon will automatically hide once you move your mouse away from it. Use it and reply

TATA SUPER COMPUTER ENTERS TECHNO RACE
After proving its mettle in areas like steel, automotive and IT services on this global arena, corporate behemoth the Tata group has now developed the world's fourth fastest supercomputer that can do more than 117.9 trillion calculations per second.
The supercomputer “EKA”, which means NO.1 in Sanskrit, was named Asia's fastest and the world's fourth fastest in the Top 500 Supercomputer list announced at an International Conference for High Performance Computing at Reno (California), USA.
This is the first time that such a system developed in India has been ranked among the world's ten fastest computers.
Supercomputers are primarily used by universities, military and scientific research labs. They are used in high calculation-intensive jobs like quantum physics, weather and climate research, study of chemical compounds, simulation of aircraft in wind tunnels and detonation of nuclear weapons.
A total of nine supercomputers developed in India have appeared in the Top 500 list, including one more system (179th) developed at Tata Sons' wholly-owned subsidiary Computational Research Laboratories (CRL) in Pune, where EKA was developed.
Others include a system developed at Indian Institute of Science (58th) and six IBM systems (ranked at 152nd, 158th, 336th, 339th, 340th and 371st) developed in the country.
The group chairman Ratan Tata said in a statement, “High performance computing solutions have an ever-increasing role in the scientific and new technological space the world over. The Tata group has supported this development activity and is extremely proud of the team that has developed and built this supercomputer, which is now ranked the world's fourth fastest.”
“I am sure this supercomputer and its successor systems will make a major contribution to India's ongoing scientific and technological initiatives,” he added.
The Top 500 list has been topped by BlueGene/L System, a joint development of IBM and the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and installed at DOE’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California.
Another system developed by IBM is at the second position and is installed in Germany, followed by one developed by SGI and installed in New Mexico Computing Applications Center.
EKA has been ranked even higher than a new HP system installed at a Swedish government agency. The HP system is ranked fifth in the world.
“EKA marks a milestone in the Tata group's effort to build an indigenous high performance computing solution. CRL built the supercomputer facility using dense data centre layout and novel network routing and parallel processing library technologies developed by its scientists,” Tata group said in a statement.
The fastest supercomputer recorded a speed of 478.2 teraflops per second (trillions of calculations per second), while EKA recorded a performance of 117.9 teraflops per second.
“EKA has put India at the forefront of high performance and supercomputing technology globally. It gives us the ability to address applications in multiple disciplines including software development and research,” CRL Chairman and TCS CEO and MD S Ramadorai said.
The CRL supercomputer includes nodes and racks built by HP. The CRL team has been actively supported by scientists and engineers at Tata Consultancy Services.
In the near term, CRL is targeting and developing applications such as neural simulation, molecular simulation, computational fluid dynamics, crash simulation and digital media animation and rendering.
The longer term application areas would include financial modelling, seismic modelling, geophysical signal processing, weather prediction, medical imaging, nanotechnology, personalised drug discovery, real time rendering, and virtual worlds among others.
CRL also intends to offer high performance and supercomputer system integration, research, applications and software services to its customers around the globe in the area of high performance computing.
Supercomputers were first developed early in 1960s by Seymour Cray at Control Data Corporation (CDC). These days the supercomputer market is dominated by companies like IBM and HP, while Cray, who later left CDC and founded his own company Cray Inc is also building supercomputers.
