Format USB to NTFS Format

First, connect your USB device to your computer. Then right-click on My Computer from the desktop and choose Manage or directly use Device Manager


Next click on Device Manager and then expand out Disk Drives. You should see your USB drive listed.






Now right-click on the USB drive under Disk Drives and choose Properties. Then go to the Policies tab.



Now you will see two options, the “Optimize for quick removal” selected by default. Go ahead and change that by selecting the “Optimize for performance” option. This enables writing caching on the drive and therefore allows you to format it as NTFS! Sweet.


That’s it. Now click OK and then go to My Computer. Right click on the drive in My Computer and choose Format. In the File System drop down you will now see the option for NTFS!


ENJOY!

Google's Browser Chrome Out Today

Its been a buzz word, today the Chrome Google's Browser is out.. Today I downloaded it and tried my hands on it.. But found its to be a mixture of all current browsers(Internet Explorer, FireFox3, Opera and Safari). Well I was satisfied even if it was a stripped verison of FireFox and all other Browsers.

The Fact is it takes less memory usage than any other, you get properties of all other browsers in the slowly shining Chrome.

A Review Microsoft PopFly

Microsoft has come up Popfly™ , its a fun, easy way to build and share mashups, gadgets, games, Web pages, and applications.

I tried creating some games and webpages.. and yeah it still need to develop more. The resources are too low there

Create Games. Popfly is a simple way to create and share games with your friends. Choose from a variety of built-in templates or start from scratch to create a side scrolling game, a 2D shoot-em-up, or a host of others. And best of all, you can get started without writing a line of code.

Build Mashups. Mashups are a kind of application that take information from many places and mix it together. With Popfly's mashup creator you'll be able to take photos, RSS feeds, and many other kinds of information and combine them to create your own personalized view of the web.

Design a Web Page. Always wanted to create a web page but thought it was too hard? Popfly makes it easy with its simple web page creator.

...and Much More. Popfly makes it easy to place your creations into your blog, your Facebook page, or even make them into Windows Vista sidebar gadgets. And it's fully integrated with Visual Studio™ so as you gain experience you can upgrade to professional-quality tools.

Make your own game. If you have an idea for a game but don't want to learn to program, Popfly is an easy way to get started making it real. No coding is required, and Popfly supplies a large library of actors, images, and sounds so you can get started quickly.

Try recreating one of the classics, like creating a personal version of Space Invaders™ in just a couple of minutes. And if you ever feel you're running out of power, Popfly makes it easy to step into the source code and take full control.

Display your images, your way. If you have photos on a web site like Flickr™ or Windows® Live™ Spaces, Popfly can quickly convert them into a variety of attractive display formats and embed them into any blog, Facebook page, or even turn them into a Windows Vista® sidebar gadget with the click of a button.

Map information with Popfly. Whether it's your Twitter friends, photos, or something like earthquake activity, Popfly makes it simple to put information onto a map so you can see it and share it with your friends.

Do you use Facebook? Do you want a more custom experience? All Popfly creations can be embedded in your Facebook page to make it truly yours. And Popfly even comes with full Facebook support for games like Halo 3™ and World of Warcraft™. SOURCE
