• Run an application automatically when a disk is inserted.
• Change the icon of your disk.
• Display a commands menu when you right click your drive.

So Autorun.inf is not a virus/worms but more of a list of command to perform an automated process when you connect your device to your computer, although nowadays this file is used mostly by worms to increase their spreading via your mobile devices.

The problem is LCD monitor tend to be more easy to get scratch than a CRT monitor, so you would need to give a bit more attention when cleaning it.

To clean your LCD monitor you will need to prepare these things :

1. A clean microfiber cloth or just find yourself the cleanest and smoothest cloth possible.
   Attention: DO NOT USE tissue as it would leave small fibers on your screen.
2. Water.
3. Isopropyl Alcohol(optional, if you don’t have one, plain water would work just fine).
   Attention: if you prefer to use a cleaning products make sure it doesn’t contain ethyl alcohol, ethyl acid, ammonia, acetone, toluene, or methyl chloride. These chemicals can damage your LCD.
4. Spray Bottle(optional, but it would be better if you have one).

Now after you collect all the cleaning kit, let’s start with the procedure.

1. Turn off your monitor for more easy view on the dirt.
2. Mix the Isopropyl alcohol and water, the ratio would be 50:50 or less alcohol, and make sure they mixed well.
3. Now spray the mixture to the cloth, NOT directly on the LCD. If you don’t have a sprayer, just dampen the clothes a bit.
4. Wipe the screen very gently with the dampened cloth to clean the big dirt, then dampen the clean side of the cloth and wipe the monitor again to pick up the rest of the dirt. Don’t press too hard as this may cause pixels to burn out.
   Note : to clean the dust you can methodically wipe it with vertical and horizontal movement, while to clean small stuff like fingerprints mark you can wipe it in circular motion.
5. Now clean the excess liquid from your monitor with dry cloth.
6. You can turn on the monitor again now. since the cleaning is done.

Oh and don’t forget to clean the casing too, you can clean the casing by using any multipurpose cleaner, just make sure the liquid doesn’t touch your LCD screen.

Fact 2 :

Why is it, every time you write and save bush hid the facts it changed into different character set? well it’s not a conspiracy but rather a bug. the trick is to write something in a 4-3-3-5 formation, like this app may break or aaaa aaa aaa aaaaa note that those word contain a 4-3-3-5 string formation. To solve this problem you can just select the encoding type as UNICODE instead of ANSI while saving.

Fact 3 :

Type =rand(100,99) then press enter, and you will get a number of text as a result, this is not a bug but a function created to insert random words into the document automatically.

First go to this address : http://tinyurl.com/

Now you may paste or type the URL that you want to shorten, optionally you can put an alias for your new URL, if you leave the alias empty, then they would generate a random alias for you.

The result URL would be like http://tinyurl.com/youralias, but if the alias are already taken then you would be given a random alias instead. but that wouldn’t be a problem since the random generated URL is still short.

Thats all, it’s simple and it’s completely free, and with this you can also use it to hide any information your original links may carry, like a referral link perhaps.

Open Flash Chart is a compiled flash object which communicates with the world by downloading a data file. This is ‘at arms length’ and means you can use it in a commercial product, so long as you inform your users that Open Flash Chart is GPL and provide access (e.g. a link) to the source code.

The difficulty level to implement open flash chart on your website also isn’t that high, a middle skilled programmer with a minimum knowledge of flash object should be able to do it. And of course, the best part is this code is free to use and modified based on the LGPL licence.
