Hello ppl.. my friend Mohib developed a Link Checker that checks different links such as Rapidshare and all. So I thought, why not post in on my blog.
Most of you would have downloaded some or the other warez in your internet life period and many of you upload stuff to share with others. With so many uploads it gets difficult to maintain or to know which links are working and which are not.
Here is a solution right on your desktop. Fire this application called “Link Checker” and enter the links and click “Start Check”. It will verifiy and tell you which links are working and which are not.

Samsung Electronics, the world’s largest computer chip maker, said today it has developed a new solid state drive which is expected to replace hard disk drives in laptop computers.
Samsung said its 256-gigabyte solid state drive (SSD) for data storage is 2.4 times faster than traditional hard drives. The company plans to begin production of SSDs this year.
The new SSD “represents a bold step in the shift to notebooks with significantly improved performance and larger storage capacities,” the company said in a statement.
Samsung described the new SSD - which is 6.35cm long and 9.5mm thick - as the world’s smallest of its kind. It can read up to 200 megabytes of data per second.
It said, citing market research agency iSuppli, that 35 per cent of notebook computers would use the SSD by 2012.
Vista Patch
A flaw was found in Windows Vista which can allow rootkits to be planted. As well as to allow DoS attacks to be used against it. This flaw was found in October by Thomas Unterleitner of Austrian security company Phion. Microsoft was informed about this flaw and they will be releasing a fix for it in the next Vista service pack.

EU to investigate Microsoft file format support
A new plan by Microsoft to allow its Office software to save and edit files in a rival format will face a probe by the European Commission.
The Commission said late Wednesday that it will investigate whether Microsoft’s decision to add support for the Open Document Format to Office will result in greater consumer choice.
Microsoft’s move, also announced Wednesday, is seen as a concession to regulators concerned about competition and to customers, mainly governments, worried about product lock-in.
Five years from now, with Apple aiming to become the center of the digital home, users may expect to see a number of key products and services designed to connect PCs and digital content to HDTV stereo audiovisual networks, according to “The Future of Apple” report, released by Forrester Research on Thursday.
The Wall Street Journal reported this morning on Dell’s plan to stop competing with itself. Rather than selling both high-end XPS gaming PCs as well as similar products from Alienware (which it acquired in 2006), Dell will shift all of its gaming energies at Alienware, including providing Dell R&D resources.
This picture of a Samsung OLED laptop prototype raises more questions than it answers. Just how thin and light is it? Is touch-typing possible on that keyboard? Where’s the mouse pad? What’s that panel behind the display? Why is the woman pictured on the display checking her pulse? When can I have one?
Google confirmed today it’s gathering 3D data along with the photographs it takes for its online Street View service, a potential boon for those of us who fantasize about flying like Superman through urban landscapes, at least virtually.
“The imaging technology includes lasers that collect 3D geometry data,” the company said Thursday in a statement. However, for now at least, the 3D information is just experimental, Google said.
Google Translate just got more useful for a Prague citizen visiting India.
The online translation function now can understand 10 more languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hindi, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, and Swedish. That brings the total to 23 languages, Google said in a blog posting Thursday.
In addition, Google added a language-detection feature that can guess the source language a user is trying to translate. It’s more effective with longer amounts of text, Google said.
Detect Language means you only have to click the language you want to translate text into.
