How to Remote Access My Computer

How to Remote Access My Computer

So you want to access you home computer from Office or access your friend's computer who is in another city or access your computer from a friend's place... You get the point. If you need to connect to another PC which is directly connected to your computer then you can just Remote Login but if you are connecting to a computer through the internet then that won't work.

What we need for such situations is a VPN Connection that will allow you to log in to another computer and let you work as if you were sitting right in front of it.

I personally need VPN mostly for helping out friend's with their computer problems. There are plenty of VPN Software's available online like LogMeIn, VNC, CrossLoop.

I have been using Teamviewer as long as I can remember and haven't felt the need to look anywhere else. Other Software's have pretty much the same features if not less.

Features of Teamviewer

  • No need to install in Client Computer Just a standalone Executable.

What is Twitter?

Twitter

There are a lot of social Networking Sites but very few are like Twitter. Twitter is a combination of Social Networking and Micro blogging. In short You can share with the whole world what you ate for dinner but you gotta do it in 140 characters or less.

While Initially it might sound like isn't that too short, the world has been sending SMS's for a long time now and they seem to be enough. You can send "tweets" from the web interface, text messages from your phone or using apps for your mobile.

The original project code name was twttr but then when they came across the word 'twitter' meaning - 'a short burst of inconsequential information' and 'chirps from birds', it struck as being perfect.




Since then Twitter has come a long way and has spread even beyond the confines of this planet!!




Twitter introduced Verified Accounts for celebrities to help people know that they are following original accounts. A simple search on twitter for your favorite celebrity can allow you to follow their life like never before.

Twitter Verified Account


A lot of services have come up catering to Twitter and things surrounding Twitter but more about that later. Go Open a Twitter Account and follow me @sougat818

Who visited my Facebook Profile?

Who visited my Facebook Profile

There are a lot of apps in Facebook claiming to be able to tell - Who visited your Facebook Profile.

So which one is the one that actually works and which one's are fake. The answer is quite simple. All of them are lying, yes you heard it right.

Facebook has clearly stated that Applications CANNOT track profile (timeline) visits for people, Facebook has made this technically impossible.

You can read Facebook's Clarification in their help Center about Who visited my Facebook Profile

Facebook also states that Applications may do this in a different manner. What that means is You will get to know if another user visits your profile only if both of you are using that application. So Its more like Who visited my Facebook Profile and also uses application XYZ.

In Short

  • If you are not using such applications then you can be very sure that No one can know If you visit someone's Facebook Profile. 
  • Which also means that you will never know the answer to the million dollar question - Who visited my Facebook Profile.
