25 Worst passwords of 2014

• SplashData recently released its annual list of 25 most commonly used passwords on the internet. The list compiled from more than 3.3 million leaked passwords during 2014 shows that even such brazen hacking incidents have failed to wake up the majority of netizens globally. 
• Much of the online population still doesn't make an effort to create strong passwords, putting itself in grave risk online.

                                 

• Like in the earlier lists, simple numeric passwords remain commonplace, with nine of the top 25 passwords in the 2014 list comprising numbers only. There are some new entries too in the list, which -- as expected -- are easy-to-guess words.                                                                                   

   Here are the 25 'worst' passwords of 2014.

தேசியக் கொடி ஏற்றும்போது அதில் பூக்கள் வைப்பது ஏன்??

தேசியக் கொடி ஏற்றும்போது அதில் பூக்கள் வைப்பது ஏன்??

• நம் தேசிய கொடி மேலே ஏறி பட்டொளி வீசி பறப்பதற்கு முன் அதில் வைக்க பட்டுள்ள மலர்கள் கீழே வந்து விழுவதை பார்த்து கை தட்டுகிறோம்.
• ஆனால் அதற்குள் மிக பெரிய ஒரு சோக சம்பவம் அடங்கி கிடக்கிறது அது என்ன தெரியுமா?
• இந்த கொடி மேலே ஏற அதாவது நாம் சுதந்திரம் பெற எண்ணற்ற தாய் மார்களின் கூந்தலில் இருந்த மலர்கள் கீழே விழுந்து இருக்கிறது என்பதைத்தான் இந்த கொடி மேலே ஏறும் போது மலர்கள் கீழே விழுந்து அதனை ஞாபக படுத்துகிறது.
• இனி ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் கொடியேற்றத்தைக் காணும்போதும் இதை மனதில் வைத்துக்கொள்ளுங்கள்.
• இன்று நாம் கம்ப்யூட்டர் முன்னால் உட்கார்ந்துகொண்டு உலகை சுற்றி வருகிறோம்.
• அன்று அந்த நல்ல உள்ளங்கள் தங்கள் கணவர்களை சுதந்திர போராட்டத்திற்கு அனுப்பாமல் இருந்திருந்தால், நாம் இன்னும் எங்கேயாவது செக்கு இழுத்துக் கொண்டுதான் இருந்திருப்போம்!

Whatsapp now on Web..!!

                   Here's how to get WhatsApp on your phone, tablet, laptop AND your PC, all at once.

Step 1 :

Using WhatsApp in your web browser couldn't be easier. On your computer or tablet launch the Chrome browser (other browsers are not supported) and head tohttps://web.whatsapp.com. A QR code will pop up on screen on your PC. You do not need a QR reader installed on your phone to read this. Note that if you're using a tablet you will need to request the desktop site in Chrome's settings (and no, this won't work in Chrome on an iPad, even if you have an Android phone).

 

Step 2. Launch WhatsApp on your phone and click the three dots at the top right to access more options, then choose WhatsApp on the web. 

 

Step 3. A QR reader will then open on your phone; point this at your PC screen to read the code and be automatically logged into WhatsApp on the web.

 

Step 4. The interface will be familiar to WhatsApp phone users, but you should note that desktop notifications are supported, which you may want to switch off in the settings menu for privacy reasons if this is a shared PC. As on the phone, tapping the three-dot icon brings up more options. Select Notifications, and then deselect Desktop Alerts and Sounds.

 

Step 5. Starting a new conversation is slightly different on the desktop. As for the phone you can click the new message icon to select one of your contacts, but in WhatsApp on the web the search function lets you start new conversations as well as filter existing chats.

 

Step 6. Within a conversation the interface matches that of the phone, with emotion and mic icons sitting either side of the bottom text-entry field, and a paperclip icon at the top to attach files. Beside this is a more options icon that lets you view contact info. And as on the phone you get the single-, twin- and blue-tick system to show whether messages have been sent, delivered and read. 

 

Step 7. Once your phone and computer are connected you are able to manage your logged in computers from your phone via the Options, WhatsApp on the web menu. From here you can log out from all computers, or you can use the options menu in WhatsApp on the web to log out from the PC you're currently using. WhatsApp will by default keep you logged in unless you specify otherwise, but having logged out you'll need to go through the QR code process again the next time you want to log into WhatsApp on that machine. 

Messages between phone and browser are instantly synched, so users on limited mobile data contracts should be wary of increased data usage. It's a good idea to switch on your Wi-Fi if you're a heavy WhatsApp user.
