Most of the time when the issue is security in operating systems, the discussion falls into three fairly common findings among users: Linux has no viruses, Mac is extremely secure and stable Windows has many threats and can leave the home user at the mercy of malicious attacks.
However, in practice there are other variables to be considered that could put Windows as one of the safest systems created to date. User Protection in existing Windows 7 is already pretty efficient.
What happens is that, the Microsoft operating system is used by roughly 80% of users worldwide, which consequently makes it the largest and most desired target for hackers. In this way, with many more of these individuals trying to break their codes, it is natural that more loop holes appear in Windows than in other systems.
For Windows 8, the next version of the operating system is now available in pre-Beta version , Microsoft developed a set of functions that are intended to provide more security to users. Learn what’s new and how much more will ensure peace of mind to its users.

Fast GPRS Web Browsers For Slow Connection And Opera Mini For Windows


Opera Mini is quite a popular application and used by almost all of us on Mobile devices for web browsing because it offers fast browsing even on slow GPRS connection. Problem comes when you are connected to Internet via GPRS on Computer / Laptop and you are stuck with slow loading webpages.
At the time of writing this article, I am at a rural place, far from my home without any fast 3G connection. Only option left with me is Airtel GPRS connected to Laptop and I was experimenting things to get things done somewhat faster.
Here are some results and my experiences with different web browsers at slow speed.
Though there is no program called for Opera Mini for Windows or any Desktop but Opera (Desktop version) has an awesome feature called Turbo which does similar job.
Opera Turbo offers faster web page loading and speedier browsing even on slow GPRS / EDGE connection. Obvious question is how does Opera Turbo mode does that and how can it squeeze out speed. So, let me tell you how.
Unlike regular web browsers, Opera Turbo doesn’t serve downloaded page elements (images, text, scripts, etc) from server. Whenever you request to open any web page, it first loads on Opera servers and compressed there before they actually load on your computer.

Opera turbo WebP Compression Mode

Opera Mini does similar thing but then it degrades image quality but Opera 11 came with a solution for that. Since Opera 11.1, Opera Turbo mode compresses JPGs using Google WebP image format offering loss-less compression.
