Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

 
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I hits theaters on November 19th, 2010.

Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Tom Felton,  Ralph Fiennes ,Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy, Jamie Campbell Bower, Bonnie Wright, Helena Bonham Carter, Timothy Spall, Michael Gambon, Rhys Ifans, Maggie Smith, John Hurt, Jason Isaacs, Ciaran Hind

Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort's immortality and destruction-the Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.

Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort's Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort... alive.

Harry's only hope is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale-the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks.

Little does Harry know that his future has already been decided by his past when, on that fateful day, he became "the Boy Who Lived." No longer just a boy, Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the task for which he has been preparing since the day he first stepped into Hogwarts: the ultimate battle with Voldemort.

Create Pages in Blogger

Another top user-requested feature has just graduated from Blogger In Draft! Blogger now makes it easy to create Pages linked from your blog. 

This feature lets you easily publish static information on stand-alone pages. For example, you can create an About This Blog page that discusses the evolution of your blog, or a Contact Me page that provides directions, a phone number, and a map to your location.

You create a page similar to how you write a blog post. From Blogger click the Posting | Edit Pages tab, then click New Page. (Note: you can create up to 10 pages.)

Once your page is published, you can link to it from the new Pages widget. The Pages widget lets you add links to your pages as tabs at the top of your blog, or as links in your blog's sidebar.

In the Pages widget, you can decide which pages will be linked and in what order they will appear. You can also choose whether you want new pages to appear automatically in the Pages widget by checking or unchecking the box to the left of Add new Pages by default.

Finally, for those of you that have custom templates, your custom template may not automatically support Pages as horizontal "tabs". If you are familiar with HTML, follow these instructions on how to add Pages to your custom template.

Looking forward to seeing all of the Pages that bloggers create!

Gmail Rolled Out Rich Text Signatures Feature

Gmail introduces one of the most demanding feature for long time, rich text signatures. It means you can insert images, text, colors, change fonts size and do many more things in Gmail signature interface. Now you don’t need any scripts and add-ons to insert rich signatures.
To inset the signature, go to settings –> General –> Signatures. Now choose the signature option and type the text inside the box. You can insert small images (logo of your blog or website) or icons for your social media profiles. After inserting the image, hyperlink it by clicking the link tool. Click on “Save settings” button at the bottom of the page.

You need to activate the “Inserting image” lab feature to insert image inside the signatures. One feature still missing is inserting image through your computer. You have to upload the photo to picasa or Flickr profile first and then through its URL, you can insert images inside signature.
However, there is a workaround for this one. Go to compose mail in Gmail. Write your signature, you can insert your computer’s image inside the mail. Now copy the signature and paste it to the signature area in the Gmail settings. That’s all. You don’t need to upload the image on any site.

If you have more than one account to your Gmail account, then you can make a separate signature for other Gmail ID. Click on the email ID drop down menu and select the different mail account.

How To Decrease The Boot Up Time of Windows PC

While starting Windows PC, many programs are set to start along with boot up process. This happens because while installing the program you generally check the option, start with system startup. Sometimes it is useful but sometimes it turns out to be reason to worry.
Programs like Adobe reader, Google updater, messengers (MSN, Yahoo) and many more opens in the background and of no use. It’s better to move them out of the list. We use Msconfig for that purpose. Msconfig is a system configuration utility which can disable unnecessary programs to startup while Windows starts.
1. If you are a Windows Vista or Windows 7 user then click on the start button on the bottom left and type msconfig in the search box. Click on the result.

If you are Windows XP, 2000 user then go to Run panel (use “Ctrl+R” to open Run panel) and then type msconfig inside the box. Then click OK.

2. In the system configuration window, go to “Startup” tab. It will show you all the startup programs along with the name of manufacturer and location.

3. Uncheck all the boxes next to program name which you don’t want to include in the startup process.

Note: There are some programs which are necessary to run during starting up Windows therefore don’t disable such programs for which you are not sure about.
4. After uncheck the boxes, click on the OK button. A small window will appear ask you to Restart the system. Click on Restart if you want to apply the settings immediately. If you don’t want to restart your system immediately then click on “Exit without restart” button. The settings will be applied when next time you’ll restart your system.
 

That’s how you can decrease in the boot up time and improve the speed of your PC using Msconfig.
