Komli Media: The Digital Ad-tech firm that wants to take on Google and Facebook

In just under a month, Amar Goel experienced the thrills and spills of being an entrepreneur. This October, the co-founder and chairman of Komli Media, a digital advertising solutions provider, closed the latest round of funding for his sevenyear-old firm—nearly $100 million (about RS 600 crore) in total—only to discover a few weeks later that Prashant Mehta, the company's chief executive of five years, had resigned.

For a company tracking to be a $100 million entity by December 2014 and turn profitable this month, this was an unexpected and unpleasant surprise. And, for Goel, a former Microsoft employee in New York, it meant taking on extra executive responsibilities—by retaking the reins of Komli, to go with another startup he was focusing on. And pressure: to grow faster and turn profitable, to take on the likes of Google and InMobi, to justify the $100 million bet that private capital has taken on it and to make its six overseas acquisitions sweat.

Big Technology Break

Goel, along with Akshay Garg, started Komli in 2006, when digital advertising was in its infancy—a $25-50 million opportunity in India—with just the slightest hint of interest from marketers.

Smartphones’ future: Bendable screens, Iron Man tech

   SAN FRANCISCO: This may be remembered as the year smartphones became boring.    Although high-definition displays on smartphones have gotten bigger and their cameras have gotten better, the pace of gee-whiz innovation has dawdled.    

Smartphone and software makers are working on ways to snap out of this technological lull, although it probably will be at least another year or two before breakthroughs revolutionize the design and function of mobile computing devices.

In a foreshadowing of things to come, LG Electronics is boasting about the G Flex, a new phone with a curved display. Previously available in Korea and Singapore, the concave device arrived in Hong Kong on Friday.

"We want to claim this as the future of smart devices," Ramchan Woo, the head of LG's mobile product planning division, said during a recent demonstration in San Francisco.

If such visions are realized, smartphones and tablets will be equipped with display screens that can be rolled up like a scroll or folded like a wallet.

The G Flex provides a peek at the shape of things to come. Despite its name, the G Flex isn't pliable. The device is slightly bowed from top to bottom, allowing it to curve toward a person's mouth when used for phone calls. It also has a curved battery, something LG says is a first for smartphones. LG applied a "self-healing" protective coat on the G Flex to automatically repair any minor scratches.

More than anything, the G Flex is meant to begin the smartphone's evolution from the primitive state of flat screens. In theory, the curved-screen technology will lead to bendable screens, which will then pave the way to foldable screens. If that progression plays out, it would be possible to fold a larger smartphone so it can easily fit into a pocket. See More

How to Protect Your Facebook Account from Rogue Applications

A rogue application is a Facebook application developed by someone with fraudulent or deceitful intentions. The application often doesn’t perform its stated objectives. They are designed to obtain account information of the user, and they can be used to spread spam, scams or other malware to friends of the infected account. Typical examples are:

• Profile Viewer Apps
• Apps that redirect to phishing links and forms
• Apps that lead to malicious downloads
• Apps that lead to survey scams

The best way to guard against rogue applications is to avoid any third-party Facebook applications entirely. If this approach is too extreme for you, there are some steps you can take to help protect your account.
1. Be very selective in the applications you install. Stick with applications from well known developers and software companies. If you are tempted to install a more obscure application, then research it thoroughly before doing so.
2. Double check the permissions you have granted to Facebook applications currently installed. You can access this list either by the privacy settings or account settings. Click the padlock or the gears icon located in the top right corner of your Facebook page, or use this link to be taken straight there. If you navigate  to the page manually, you’ll want to look for the Apps icon in the left column.
Here, you can click the Edit link to review the permissions of any apps you have installed or simply click the ‘x’ to remove them.

Here you can see what Facebook data the application has access to, the last time it accessed your data, and you can set privacy settings for the application in question. Notice there is also a “Remove app” link on this screen as well. If you find an app is too intrusive, then you can click this link to easily remove it from your account.
It is a good idea to check these settings from time to time. Application developers have been known to change required application permissions. Always be mindful of what data access a third party developer requests. Be especially suspicious of applications requesting the following:

• Complete and total access to your Facebook account – An app requesting too many permissions is a big warning sign.
• Access to Facebook Chat – You don’t want the app spamming malicious links via chat messages to your friends.
• The right to manage your Pages or Events – It is a common ploy for scammers to create bogus pages and events to spread their messages virally across Facebook.

Keep this information in mind the next time you think about installing a Facebook application! One rogue application can impact a large number of innocent users, and you don’t want the infection traced back to you!

Must Read If You Truly want to become a true hacker :-

1) Never trust sites that ask
you for money in return of
Hacking Softwares or who
claim to Hack Email Id’s in
return of money. All such
things are Scam . Nothing Works.

"2) There is NO DIRECT
SOFTWARE to Hack Facebook ,
Google , Yahoo or any other
big website. All the softwares
that claim to do so are scam.
They are just meant to take your money and in worse
cases, those softwares have
trojans or keyloggers in them.
As a result your account gets
hacked trying to hack others.

3) NEVER EVER use the
keyloggers or trojans you find
as freeware on internet.
Hackers are not fools. They
compile keyloggers and
trojans almost with any such software and when you install
them , you are already hacked
before even trying to hack
others.

4) You are never going to be a
good hacker without the
knowledge of programming
and scripting languages. When
you are going to use only
ready made softwares and would depend on them for
hacking anything then your
functionality would be limited
upto the functionality of the
software. When you are not
going to use your brain , just doing the copy paste thing,
then how can you even think
of being a good hacker.

5) If you are a good Hacker,
you already become a good
programmer , a good script
writer , a good web developer
and an excellent security
expert. Well any good Hacker will/should have good
knowledge of various aspects
and programming languages.
to do XSS (Cross Site
Scripting ) , PHP INJECTION , SQL
INJECTION , PHISHING , FOOTPRINTING etc… you will
have to be good at
programing and scripting. And
when you know the Various
loop holes , vulnerabilities and
security tips, you already become a Computer Security
Expert. So Never Ever Under estimate
the term Hacker. A Hacker Is
Not a person who just hacks
email id’s or servers but a True
Hacker is a Computer Genius
who the knowledge of computers more than anyone.

Top 10 Computer Mouse Tips & TricksCOMPUTER, TIPS AND TRICKS

Top 10 Computer Mouse Tips & TricksCOMPUTER, TIPS AND TRICKS

We all use Mouse while sitting on Computer but most of us don't take Full Advantage of the Computer Mouse. But don't worry now there are some Computer Mouse Tips and Secrets given below that will help you Get the Full Potential of your Computer Mouse and Increase your Overall Productivity while on the Computer.

So here are those Top 10 Computer Mouse Tips :

1) Shift Key and Mouse Click.

Many Text Editors and Programs allow us to Highlight All or Portions of Text using the Shift Key and the Mouse.
For an example and giving it a try, place the Cursor at the Beginning of a Paragraph, Hold down the Shift Key and Click at the End of the Paragraph to Highlight the Full Paragraph.

2) Take Full Advantage of the Scroll Wheel.

We all know that the Mouse Wheel ( Scroll ) is used to Scroll Up and Down on a Page. However, this Wheel can also do Much more like :

&gt;&gt; The Mouse Wheel can also be used as a Button. Pressing down on the Wheel will act like a Third Mouse Button. This can be used to Open a Web Page in a New Tab. Simply Click the Wheel on any Link and the Web Page will be Opened in New Tab.

&gt;&gt; We can quickly Zoom In and Out on a Web Page, Word Document, Excel Spreadsheet, etc. by Holding down the Ctrl Key and Scrolling Up to Zoom In and Scrolling down to Zoom Out.

&gt;&gt; We can move Forward and Backwards while Browsing the Internet by simply Holding down the Shift Key and Scrolling Up and Down. Scrolling down goes Back and Scrolling Up goes Forward.

3) Select with Double and Triple Click.

We can Select any Word by Double Clicking on that Word and if you want to Highlight the Whole Paragraph, click the Mouse Button Three times on any Text in the Paragraph.

4) Take Full Advantage of Right Click.

If you Right Click on any File Drag it while holding the Right Button of Mouse, when you let go you will be given the Option to Move or Copy that File. This saves you the Extra Step of having to Right Click where you want to Paste the Item ( File ).

5) Ctrl Key and Mouse Click.

&gt;&gt; We can also Open a Web Page in New Tab, while in a Browser by Pressing and Holding Ctrl Key while Clicking on any Link.. 

&gt;&gt; While holding down the Ctrl key we can Left Click to Select Multiple Objects or Highlight Multiple Sections of Text.

6) Use Mouse Side Buttons.

Many New Computer Mice have Buttons on the Side of the Mouse. These Buttons can be Programmed to do Anything ( all possible Navigation ), however by default the Left Thumb Button can be used to go Back in a Web Browser or Windows Explorer. This makes Browsing the Internet more Enjoyable since you do not need to move the Mouse Cursor to the Browser Back Arrow Icon in order to go back a Page.

7) Use the Windows " Snap To " Feature.

This Feature if enabled will Automatically move your Mouse to Buttons that appear in a Dialog Box.
For example, if you Delete a File or Close a Window you may get a Prompt asking you if you are sure you want to perform the Task. With the Snap To Feature Enabled, the Mouse Cursor Automatically moves to the Ok button, so all you will have to do is Click the Mouse Button if you Agree. This saves you the time of having to move the Mouse Cursor over to the Ok Button and then Click Ok.

To Enable the " Snap To " Feature follow these simple Steps :
&gt;&gt; Open Control Panel  &gt;&gt;  Mouse Properties  &gt;&gt;  Pointer Options  &gt;&gt;  Check the " Snap To " Check Box.

For more Productivity, we would suggest you to Modify some more Options available in Mouse Settings Like :
&gt;&gt;  Increasing the Motion Speed of Mouse Pointer can also help Increase your Productivity while using the Mouse.

8) Manage the Open Window with the Mouse.

Double Click the Top of Title Bar of any Window to Maximize or Minimize a Window. You can also Double Click at the Top Left Corner of the Window to Close that Window instead of Clicking on Red Cross Button i.e. for Closing Window.

9) Move the Mouse with your Keyboard.

Instead of using the Mouse, we can also Enable Windows to use the Number Pad as a Mouse.

10) Customize the Mouse.

If you have New Mouse with more than Two Buttons, then Installing the Included Mouse Software will allow you to Customize the Mouse even more.
For Example, if you don't use the Side Buttons to Move Back and Forth in a Web Browser then you can Change it to something you do more often, such as Switching between Open Windows or Opening any of your Folder or File

Amazon unveils futuristic mini-drone delivery plan

WASHINGTON: Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos revealed Sunday that his company is looking to the future with plans to use "octocopter" mini-drones to fly small packages to consumers in just 30 minutes.

The US retail giant's ambitious project still requires additional safety testing and federal approval, but Bezos estimated that Amazon "Prime Air" would be up and running within four to five years.

A demo video posted on the company's website showed the tiny robotic devices picking up packages in small yellow buckets from Amazon's fulfillment centers and then whizzing through the air to deliver the items to customers just 30 minutes after they made their purchase on Amazon.com.

"I know this looks like science fiction. It's not," Bezos told CBS television's "60 Minutes" program.
