How hackers steal your ATM PIN

WASHINGTON: Beware! Modern-day hackers can recognize your PIN                                numbers from ATM keypads using a digital infrared camera.

At the USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies earlier this month, researchers from the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) have described how a digital infrared camera could be used to reveal digits of PIN numbers after a user punched them in on ATM keypads.
Researchers showed that the residual heat our fingertips left behind on the ATM keypad can be detected by the digital infrared cameras, easily revealing the digits of your PIN.
When the camera was used immediately after the transaction, researchers correctly identified the numbers with over 80 per cent accuracy.
Even after a minute, researchers were able to correctly identify digits about 50 percent of the time.
Plastic and rubber keypads were most prone to retaining fingertip heat. Even so, they still had their flaws.
"With plastic keypads, we can reliably detect which buttons were pressed, but it is really difficult to determine the order," Discovery News quoted Keaton Mowery, a doctoral student in computer science at UCSD, as telling Technology Review.
Mowery conducted his research with fellow student Sarah Meiklejohn and professor Stefan Savage.

Green Way to Clean Computers

Washington: Scientists have come up with green? solutions to remove digital waste from computers.

For instance, old or rarely used files deplete precious storage space, bog down a computer's efficiency and sap its energy.
Trash management methods could point the way to a new era of computer cleansing, the arXiv (pronounced as 'archive') website reports. Johns Hopkins University scientists Ragib Hasan and Randal Burns are applying real world trash management methods to clean computers.
Hasan and Burns have devised a five-tier pyramid of options - reduce, reuse, recycle, recover and dispose - according to a Hopkins statement.
"If you have too much waste data in your computer, your applications may slow down because they don't have the space they require,? Hasan said.
How then can such clutter be curbed?
Reduce: The most preferred option is to cut back on the amount of waste data that flows into a computer. This can be done by encouraging software makers to design their programs to leave fewer unneeded files behind.
Reuse: If two programmes are found to utilize identical modules, one might be eliminated in a process called 'data deduplication.'
Recycle: Just as discarded plastic can be refashioned into new soda bottles, some files could be repurposed. When old software is about to be removed, the computer could retain useful pieces of the program.
Recover: Even when waste data can't be reused or recycled, these leftovers might yield information worth studying after private identification details are removed.

Magnetic computers coming Soon: Could use million times less energy

Today's silicon-based microprocessor chips depend on electric currents, or moving

electrons, that generate a lot of waste heat.But microprocessors employing nanometre-sized bar magnets -- like tiny refrigerator magnets -- for memory, logic and switching operations theoretically would require no moving electrons. A nanometre is a bnth of a metre.

Such chips would dissipate only 18 millielectron volts of energy per operation at room temperature, the minimum allowed by the laws of thermodynamics. That's a million times less energy per operation than consumed by today's computers.

"Today, computers run on electricity; by moving electrons around a circuit, you can process information," said Brian Lambson, University of California Berkeley graduate student in electrical engineering and computer sciences, according to a California statement.

"A magnetic computer, on the other hand, doesn't involve any moving electrons. You store and process information using magnets, and if you make these magnets really small, you can basically pack them very close together so that they interact with one another.

Lambson is working with Jeffrey Bokor, professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at California, to develop magnetic computers

Getting there faster: Mac and PC command keys

You can get a lot done on your computer without ever touching your mouse. Command keys can speed up work and save some wear and tear on your wrists. And some of these shortcuts even include a few surprises.

It’s a known fact that small finger movements on the mouse can sometimes have painful consequences. Mouse arm -- or RSI syndrome -- remains a problem despite the predominance of ergonomic mice.

But the shortcuts can help cut down on some of these gestures, while getting your work done faster. Indeed, there are shortcuts for just about every operating system and software. And just about every action that can be performed with a mouse can also be done with keyboard commands.

Many of these commands can be found online on sites that sort various keyboard options by function.

In Windows for example data can be opened, moved, renamed or thrown away with command keys. A window in Windows 7 can be maximized by simultaneously pressing the Windows key and the up arrow.

Switching to the down arrow minimizes the window, while the Windows key and M minimizes all windows. Reverse that by hitting Windows, shift and M at the same time.

Pressing Windows and the Tab key get you a 3D view. Explorer starts with a combination of the Windows key and E.

Many of these codes are the same on both Macs and PCs. Whereas PCs rely on the Ctrl button, Apple machines rely on the Apple button, which has been replaced by the cmd button on some models.

Thus, while the cursor on a PC can be moved through text with Ctrl and an arrow key, Mac does the same with a combination of cmd and an arrow key, jumping ahead to the end of a line or page. Switching to the alt button moves you through one word at a time.

But, despite these similarities, people who switch between systems might have some problems adjusting. Macs don’t have a simple right-click option, which can be used on a PC to pull up a lot of important function options. But that is emulated on the Mac by hitting Ctrl while clicking with the mouse.

Most Windows users will eventually find special keys on a Mac keyboard, but knowing the right combinations will get you there quicker.

Regardless of operating system, most of today’s browsers also offer a lot of helpful shortcuts. Ctrl and T will let you tab over (cmd and T on a Mac). The shift and space bars let you move back and forth between pages on Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Alt and an arrow key let you move between tabs. To quickly get to the search window, try Ctrl-K with Firefox, Ctrl-E with Internet Explorer and Cmd-Shift-L with Safari.

The examples could go on and on. But once you get used to them, you can work more effectively and spare your joints.

As a bonus, some programmes hide surprises -- Easter eggs -- behind unusual key combinations. For example, if users of QuarkXPress place a box in the middle of the screen and then hit Shift-Option-cmd-K, their display will be visited by funny aliens who put on a fireworks show around the box.

But such Easter eggs have fallen out of favour, since many companies feel it will make them look less than professional.

DIL KI BATEN

Aksar main apne doston ke beech me shayari karta hun actualy main apni dil ki bat jo itni badi hoti hai usse kuchh chand lafzon me kahne ki koshish karta hun par pata nahi kitno to yun hi muskura dete hai ki main sher bol raha hun aur to kuchh isliye muskurate hai ki mujhe bura na lage par koi bhi dil  se mere dil ke un alfaz ko samjhne ki kosish nahi karta phir main ye sochta hun agar wo samjh bhi jayenge to kya kar sakte hai agar dukh hai to  sympathy denge aur khushi hai to wo bhi khush honge lekin main hamesh khush to nahi rah sakta na ? jindgi me dukh ate hai lekin agar dukh aisa ho ke us par na hans sako na ro sako to jindagi 1 bojh ban ke rah jati hai.

main chahta hun mere dost hamesha mujh se khush rahe kabhi meri taraf se koi galti na ho ab insani fitrat hoti h kuchh galtiyan to ho hi jati h. sachhe doston ki to tabhi pahchan hoti h tab kuchh bura hota hai. Har kisi ke jindagi me 1 bura wakt ana chahiye us se logon ki pahchan ho jati hai.

mere zehan me kuchh alfaz aa rahe hai main wo likhna chahunga

Jaan se bhi zyada unhe pyar kiya karte the,

yaad unhe din rat kiya karte the,

ab un raho se guzra nahi jata,

jaha baith kar unka intezaar kiya karte the.!
