Happy 20th Birthday WWW!
This is actually a belated happy birthday greetings to WWW already. WWW was born on April 30, 1993 at CERN laboratory.
I became aware of WWW 3 years after it was born. I was in the University at that time taking a Computer Science course. I remember my classmates and I were only using BBS to exchange ideas and files over the wire (wifi is unheard of).
First Webhost
WWW was born at CERN led by Tim Berners-Lee. The first website in the world was hosted on Berners-Lee’s NeXT computer.
First Website Content
So what’s the content of this first website? Well, not so much actually. It only described the basic features of the web; how to access other people’s documents and how to set up your own server.
First IP of info.cern.ch

Cobian Backup : Couldn’t Create The Destination Directory
I’m a fan of Cobian Backup, the best FREE backup software that I’ve tried. In fact, I’ve been using Cobian Backup for the past 7 years already!
However, when I upgraded the software this morning, I encountered a problem wherein the program can’t create the destination directory. The destination directory is located on another PC but connected on the same network. When I tried to write a file using Windows Explore onto the directory, it was successful!
What could be the problem? How can I write using Windows Explorer while Cobian Backup 10 can’t? It’s actually on Windows permission rights. The Cobian Backup I installed is setup to run as a Windows service. Almost all Windows services are using the “Local System” account. However, the other PC won’t let the “Local System” account to access the directory.
What are the possible solutions?
First make sure you (or the Windows user) have the required access rights. You can easily test this by going to the destination directory and copy a file there.
Second, change the installation mode of Read more…

How To Solve “Service Unavailable – DNS failure”
“Service Unavailable – DNS failure
The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later.”
Have you experienced this error while browsing your favorite site, like Facebook perhaps? Or probably you are ordering your favorite gadgets with special discount on a coupon code site and suddenly you encountered a “time out error” message. Well, I do but not often. But don’t be disheartened, it’s not the end of the world yet, because you and I aren’t the only ones experiencing this DNS failure. It could happen to anybody.
What is DNS anyway?
DNS = Domain Name System, in a lay man’s term it is a registry of all the names of the websites and convert them to numbers (IP addresses)
Reasons why DNS failure can occur
Well, two things or let’s make it three (there are more actually):
1. Your computer (PC or laptop) DNS cache is messed up. Periodically, your computer remembers the equivalent IP address of the domain that you are browsing. Sometimes this local database becomes corrupt.
2. The web server you are trying to connect to is down.
3. The ISP or your internet service provider’s DNS servers are having problems.
Solutions for every DNS failure we discussed above: Read more…

All In One Headset for All Devices
Is there actually an all-in-one headset for different devices? Well, the answer is none.
Perhaps in the near future when all gadget manufacturers will be united and agree in one design of the headset.
Well, my problem was like this. I love listening to music ( I think everybody does). I listen to my collection of songs in my laptop every time I work. I was using a headset that came in the box with my laptop which we bought from Hong Kong. I’m also using this headset for my skype chat and when watching movies too.
However, I’m switching to another headset every time I want music to accompany me in my jogging routines. I’m using my smartphone that doubles as an MP3 player.
My laptop and the smartphone I’m using have different plugs for the headset and so I used to have two headsets. This was where my dilemma comes in. Sometimes, no, not sometimes but often I forgot which is which. I’m using the same brand of headsets but the plugs are different even if they look identical. One has smaller plug which according to the box that comes with it has 2.5mm in diameter while the other one is 3.5mm.
My dilemma comes to an end when I’ve found the Headset Buddy adapter. I was not fully aware that such devices exist. It’s just actually a very simple device that Read more…

Xiaomi Phone – The Best Alternative to iPhone
Wait… I just want to make it clear that Xiaomi is not running on iOS but it uses Android as it’s operating system. So I guess, I should have titled this post “the best alternative to Samsung [write the model here]“, since most Samsung smartphones are running in Android. Or, better yet, the title should have been “the best alternative to any smartphone”.
To tell you frankly, I was excited when this phone was announced in one of the online shopping forums I was monitoring. Simply because of two things: Features and Price.
Similarities between Steve Jobs and Lei Jun
Features
Yes, believe me, Xiaomi will beat any other smartphones feature by feature, when it was launched. It’s the first Chinese phone to sport a 1.5GHz dual-core chip.
