London-based newsreader developer Summly has
been acquired by Yahoo. The deal, said to be worth $30 million, will
see the Summly app close, and Yahoo issued a statement that said the
company plans to “acquire the technology and you’ll see it come to life
throughout Yahoo’s mobile experiences soon.”
Adam Cahan, the senior vice president of mobile and emerging products at Yahoo said in a blog post that
the app “started with an insight — that we live in a world of constant
information and need new ways to simplify how we find the stories that
are important to us, at a glance. Mobile devices are shifting our daily
routines, and users have changed not only what, but how much information
they consume. Yet most articles and web pages were formatted for
browsing with mouse clicks. The ability to skim them on a phone or a
tablet can be a real challenge — we want easier ways to identify what’s
important to us.”
Summly founder Nick D’Aloisio claims that over 90 million summaries
over 500,000 app downloads have been read in just a few months.
D’Aloisio wrote on the Summly homepage that the app, on Apple’s list of Best Apps of 2012, will be removed from the App Store today.
1. Use Alt, Control, Delete & The Windows Welcome Screen
If
you have set your computer up to login via the Welcome Screen, there
may be a slight chance that you will be able to login as the
Administrator. Depending on who installed XP on your computer, there may
or may not be a password on the Administrator’s account.
So
simply press Alt+Control+Delete twice. You will be presented with a
login box. Click OK to login without typing any user name or password
in. If that doesn’t work, type in “˜Administrator‘ into the username box and press enter. If that doesn’t work, so far, you are in bad luck.
If you are able to log in, simply go to the control panel, go into User Accounts and change your password.
2. Login To Another Account & Reset The Password Through User Management (XP Professional Only)
This will only work if you have Windows XP Professional, and you can login with an account. Right click on My Computer and select Manage. Then select Local User and Groups ““> Users. Right click on your username and select Set Password. Follow the prompts and set yourself a new password.
If
you can’t get into Device Manager because you don’t have a user account
to get into your computer, you can try opening Device Manager from
another computer. Right click on where it says Computer Management (Local) and choose Connect to another computer“¦ once you are logged in to another computer within your home network.
Then
enter your computer IP or Name. For example 169.168.x.x, 10.1.1.x or
\\DesktopPC. (replacing x.x with your computer IP address. You can also
click on Browse ““> Advance ““>Find now to browse for computers on your network.
If
you are granted access to the remote computer, follow the steps I
mentioned above and set a new password. If not, continue reading.
3. Reset The Password Through Safe Mode & Command Prompt
If
the above steps have failed so far, you can try and boot into Safe
Mode. To do this, press F8 while your computer is booting. Once in safe
mode, you can try going into the control panel and reset your password.
If you can’t, you can try and open up a Command Prompt by opening Run
and typing cmd. Enter net user [username] [enternewpassword]. For example, If I want to change my account which is Jack to password abcde, I would type in net user jack abcde and press enter. Your password should now be changed.
4. Use A Live (Bootable CD)
If you are at this stage, and haven’t so far managed to get into your computer, you may want to use a Live Bootable CD. You may want to have a look at the post 3 Ways To Reset A Forgotten Windows Administrator Password and follow those steps.
Alternatively,
you can use the Live CD so you can boot into your computer and access
the files so you can back them up on an external hard drive or USB
stick. If you can’t get into Windows, this is your only option.
5. Remove Your HardDrive, Backup, Format, Reinstall
One
final way, and probably a good thing to do if your computer is running
really slow, or you can’t get into Windows at all; take out your hard
drive, put it into another computer, backup your data, format the hard
drive, put it back into the original computer, and re-install Windows.
You may want to have a look at The Idiot’s Ultimate Guide to Building Your Own PC for some help taking out your hard drive.
So
these are my basic tips if I can’t get access to a computer to a user
account in a Windows XP computer. I hope these tips will come in handy.

#1. OverClock your Device and Improve the Performance
Generally most of SmartPhone users tend to complain about slowing down of device, internal memory issues, battery issues.
OverClocking is something that is related to your Device’s Primary Memory and Battery Life, which in deed helps you to speed up your device and improves the performance.
After rooting, the user gets access to the root of the device, which helps us to set our preferable CPU Voltage as well as ClockSpeed.
In order to OverClock or UnderClock our Rooted Device, we might require applications like SetCPU, CPU Tuner and Nofrills CPU and make sure that your kernel needs to support overclocking, as most stock kernels doesn’t support it you might have to search on the web for finding best kernel that supports it.
If you are concerned about battery life, then you have to UnderClock your device, and in order to improve the speed/performance you have too OverClock it. I’ll be writing the tutorials that helps you to OverClock or UnderClock your Rooted Devices soon.
#2. You can Move Apps to SD Card and can convert User apps to System Apps (vice-versa)
Rooting gives us the flexibility. We can move our apps from System’s memory to SD card. So, if you want to increase the speed of your device, it is always suggestible to transfer apps to SD card from internal memory.
Most of the custom ROMs have ability to take complete control over system’s memory and can install apps to SD card. If you’ve chosen a wrong Custom Rom or if your device doesn’t support a custom Rom that contains this capability, App2SD is one of the solutions that we are having to help us out.
We can uninstall System Apps, and convert the user app into the system app and vice versa. The Rooted devices force us to have System Apps which might not satisfy your requirement, but rooting breaks this limitation.
According to me, it is one of the biggest benefits that we are having.
#3. Custom Rom – The real Rockstar
The major benefits of rooting your Android device is to have Custom Roms on our devices. These are so-called Operating Systems which works only on the Rooted Phones.
The major functionality of Custom Rom is to provide the user with a decent interface by improving the speed and potential of our rooted device.
There are many Custom Roms that are available on the web and you can download one of the best suited Rom for your device and I personally recommend Cyanogen Mod.
You can check how to install custom Rom and their related tutorials/troubleshooting issues on XDA Developers forum, which I regularly follow.
#4. Other things that you can do after Rooting your Android Device
We can Increase Internal Memory as well as RAM Speed.
Blocking the annoying Adds, as Google turned too commercial these days.
Can change Permissions for Applications, backup as well as restore them easily by using few dedicated Android rooted apps.
Security, Control, Anti-Theft access, and Increasing speed of Secondary memory while transferring are additional benefits.
Can Change the name of Device, Flash a custom recovery, special rooted apps and what not, you’ll have everything you’d expect.
