How to transfer files between your android device and computer via wifi

Now this is what we all need when we have to transfer huge files and yet we dont have any means to use the sd card or transfer using the USB cable. Using bluetooth to transfer is pretty hectic. Wifi is much faster.

Here I use one ssh server from the android market and one client in my system. since I use ubuntu, the client is not an issue. But if you use windows machine, you can use a simple tool called scp.exe, a google search will take it to that download page.

0. connect both your computer and the android device to the same network.
1. Now as the first step, you need to install the ssh server in you android device.
2. Now specify a password. (Choose wisely as, if someone guesses this, they could get all the files from your device.)
2b. Better choose non default port as its is more secure. People will have to guess the port number also incase if they got your password.
3. Then start the ssh server.
4. Now goto your computer and open the terminal (linux) or open the scp file browser or whatever ssh client you downloaded.
5. Now if you have a GUI then you know what you have to do, just copy the files you need to the android device. (Usually copy from the left side panel to the right side panel.)
Or if you use terminal client you will have to type in some commands.
In My case the following command will copy all the mp3 files from the folder (/home/xpl0iter/.miro/Movies) to the sdcard. sdcard is the actual sdcard in the android device. You can use whatever path you need to, but for all the other path which is not sd card or the place we are not intended to copy the files, you will need root access. That means you will have to root your phone first.

scp -P 1387 /home/xpl0iter/.miro/Movies/*.mp3  192.168.2.187:/sdcard/

scp – command for copying the file using ssh. (Secure Copy)

-P 1387 – Specifying the port on which the ssh server runs in the android device.

/home/xpl0iter/.miro/Movies/*.mp3 – The files I wish to copy from the computer.

192.168.2.187 – Ip address of the android device. This will be shown on the ssh server.

/sdcard/ – the path to where I am copying the files. :)

 

Apple I Computer from 1976 sold for £133,250 (about $210,000) at an auction

Today Mashable reported that One of the 200 original Apple-1 computers hand-built by Steve Wozniak and sold from Steve Jobs’s garage in 1976 has sold for £133,250 (about $210,000) at auction at Christie’s in London.

Some people are just crazy. this report proves that. Its processor works 1,000 times slower than the Apple iPad, but this Apple computer has sold for 425 times the price.

The Apple I, one of only 200 such models ever made, was sold Tuesday afternoon at Christie’s auction house in central London for 133,250 pounds (about $210,000.) It came with its original packaging and a signed sales letter from Steve Jobs, one of Apple Computer’s co-founders and the current CEO of Apple Inc.

When the Apple I was introduced in 1976, it was the only personal computer to come with a fully assembled motherboard, making it ready to use straight from the box — provided the user supplied a keyboard, power supply, and display, Christie’s said.

It sold for $666.66 and was available until it was discontinued in 1977.

Bidding on the Apple I came quickly, with the computer eventually going to Italian businessman and private collector Marco Boglione, who made his offer over the phone.

Marco’s brother Francesco Boglione, who attended the auction in person, told The Associated Press that Marco’s purchase was a testament to his love of computers.

“The first time I had heard of the idea of a personal computer, it was from Marco,” Boglione said. He bought it “because he loves computers.”

Present at the technology auction, which aslo included manuscripts, prints, and science-themed texts, was Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak, who agreed to add an autographed letter to the lot.

He said the auction was a historic moment for his work, especially when sold alongside such other technological greats as an Enigma, the German code-making machine, and writings of British mathematician Alan Turing, considered one of the founders of modern computing.

“Today my heart went out as I got to see things auctioned off like the Turing documents and the Enigma machine — and the Apple I,” Wozniak told journalists after the auction. “It really was an important step, (even though) I didn’t feel that way when I designed it.”

“I’m very delighted for the gentleman who purchased it,” he added.

Boglione said his brother’s newly purchased Apple I would likely be returned to working condition — and eventually join a collection of Apple computers.

Yahoo news reported about the Auction.

Malware Removal Help Forums

Currently the malwares are being spread by various means. The attackers are using their social engineering skills to make the victim’s computers compromised. The bad fact is that these people have a very high level of social engineering skills.

Also the people who uses internet and computers with the lack of good knowledge about computers and internet makes it easy for the attackers to infect the computer they are using.

“Erin Andrews Nude Video Scandal” this is a hot discussion topics on lots of discussion boards and chat rooms. The black hats also used this to popularize their malwares. There have been lots of websites offering the video for this. But trust me, Almost 80% of these websites were hosting malwares and they tried to infect the people who visited their websites for watching this video.

So what these hackers did was, they just asked the visitor to download a required codecpack/player to play this special kind of video. If the visitor does not have a good computer background s/he will click on it . Then the download prompt will display. Guess what, Now the visitor became the victim because of the malware just now s/he downloaded. This malware can be used by the hacker to gain full or partial control of the victim through the internet. Thus the victims system can be used even as a webserver by the attacker if s/he wanted to.

So first principle not to get infetced is, being aware of these kind of threats. Always “Prevention is better than cure”.

Now you may say, i ‘ll be more careful now-onwards but what if i already got infected?.

Then let me say, there are lots of resources for you. Like theres always been this opposite energy, for all these bad people who tries to fill this world with their malwares, there are Good people who tries to help all those victims of these attackers. They try very hard for keeping this world safe.

Now let me come to the point why i made this post.

There are lots of forums a.k.a. BBS a.k.a. discussion boards which offers to help you for disinfecting/cleaning your systems. And once your system got cleaned they will provide you guidelines for not to get infected again in future.

These are the lists of those kind of forums i’m aware of:

ThePirateBay sold for 7.8 million

The site which is one of the top 100 websites that are being visited, “thepiratebay.org” is being sold out to to another Swedish company Global Gaming Factory X (GGF) for 7.8 million USD.

The acquisition is set to be completed in August and this will have an effect on the business model of the TPB.

GGF CEO Hans Pandeya added,

“The Pirate Bay is a site that is among the top 100 most visited Internet sites in the world. However, in order to live on, The Pirate Bay requires a new business model, which satisfies the requirements and needs of all parties, content providers, broadband operators, end users, and the judiciary. Content creators and providers need to control their content and get paid for it. File sharers need faster downloads and better quality,”

Anyway the official blog of TPB says

“The profits from the sale will go into a foundation that is going to help with projects about freedom of speech, freedom of information and the openess of the nets.”

Peter Sunde, co-founder of TPB, has told TorrentFreak that The Pirate Bay will be shutting down their tracker and remove torrent files from their servers. After closing the tracker The Pirate Bay will use the torrents of an upcoming third party service which will introduce an API accessible by other torrent sites as well.

Update:Peter Sunde, co-founder of TPB, has told TorrentFreak that The Pirate Bay will be shutting down their tracker and remove torrent files from their servers. After closing the tracker The Pirate Bay will use the torrents of an upcoming third party service which will introduce an API accessible by other torrent sites as well.

Update:

ThePirateBay adds Userdeletion.

According to the tpb blog :

“We are going to build a user deletion interface later today. Many people have asked about having their account removed and we will not force anyone to stay on of course.

However, we also want to point out that we have no logs of anything, no personal data will be transferred in the eventual sale (since no personal data is kept). So no need to be worried for safety. We always care for that.

It also feels a bit sad to see the comments on the previous blog entry. We understand that you’re upset. But we have reasons to do this that we cannot ignore. We need to keep the site going and this is the only working alternative. We cannot finance the growth of the site anymore and we cannot back down. The only way is up and this is the only route to that place.

The support we had, is support we still need. We’ve been fighting for years for you; and yes; you have supported us in that endeavor. We still need you, even if you abandon the site. The important thing is that you keep sharing and keep on saving the internets. We will try to do that, but right now, we need and deserve a break. Some things needs to be reborn and rebooted. Let’s make this into something good!”


Video Sharing site from TPB

The most waited service of thepiratebay.org fans, thevideobay is getting very much closer to fruition.

According to TPB

Because of increased popularity on the closed beta announcement we have decided to give everyone a sneak peak.

TVB is now open for the public too see. You may view the sample clips, browse and register… however uploading is restricted as well as playing clips other than the two samples.

But as per piratebay to use this service, we need the latest browsers.

TPB says

To view any audio or video clips on this site you need a browser that can handle the HTML5 <video> and/or <audio> tag, such as:
Firefox 3.5 beta 4
Opera 9.52 preview
Google Chrome 3
Safari 3.4 & Safari 4

When it eventually goes live, users will be allowed to upload videos with no limits and no censorship. You can expect full streaming movies to be available, and no, they won’t be authorized by the media companies.

Here is a sample of video uploaded to VideoBay:
