Phones / Spotting Of Fake Clone Iphone by Holuwarthomisin(m): 4:58pm On Sep 05, 2019
Spotting a Fake iPhone
1
Check the specifications on the packaging. If your new iPhone came in an iPhone box, the box should display a model number, serial number, and IMEI. These
numbers should match what you see when you open the Settings app and select General > About. If the specifications don’t match,
it’s possible your phone is a
clone.[1]
2
Verify the serial number at
https://checkcoverage.apple.com Entering the iPhone's serial number into Apple's warranty status website should display the model, warranty period, support
status, and other information
about the phone. If you see a
message that says "We're sorry, but this serial number is not valid," your iPhone is likely not authentic.
You can find your iPhone's
serial number in the Settings app under General > About.
3
Check the IMEI number at
http://www.imeipro.info. Each phone has a unique IMEI number. Searching for that number in a database will provide you details about the phone. If the IMEI number displays information about a different model, you'll know you've come across a fake.
To find the IMEI, dial *#06# on the keypad or check the SIM tray.[2]
4
Look for a memory card slot.
There are no models of Apple
iPhones that have memory card slots.[3] If your phone has a slot for any size memory card, it's likely an Android that has been
reworked to look like an iPhone.
5
Check the Apple logo on the
back of the iPhone. All iPhones
display an Apple logo on their
back sides. An authentic Apple logo should not feel raised or textured. If rubbing your finger across the logo feels different than rubbing across anywhere else on the back of the iPhone, the phone is likely not an original.
6
Compare the phone to a
confirmed iPhone of the same model. Hold both phones side-by-side and ensure they are the same size, and then do the same
for each edge. If you're using a newer model with a top-notch, make sure the notches are aligned the same exact way on both phones. If your phone is different from the confirmed original, it isn't authentic. You can also compare your phone to an image of a genuine iPhone from Apple's website. Go to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201296 to view a complete list.
7
Look for Apple's default apps.
All iPhones come with certain
apps installed, including the App Store, Settings, Compass, and Safari. If you see a Play Store app on your iPhone, it's a dead giveaway that you're using an Android that was made to look like an iPhone.[4]
Check the Settings app for
standard iPhone menus like
Control Center, Siri & Search,
and iTunes & App Store.
All iPhones come with the
Safari web browser. If you
don't have Safari you don't
have an iPhone.

Computers / How To Clone A Hard Drive In Windows XP by Holuwarthomisin(m): 4:43pm On Sep 05, 2019
The way you clone or copy your drive depends on what files are on it. If you're simply storing files you can just copy them to another drive. If you need to upgrade your main or
system drive (the one running XP) you need to use a utility like Norton Ghost.
Those steps follow.
Steps
1
You will need to obtain and
install Ghost on your system. If you can't or don't want to install it on the system with the drive to clone you can install it on another system and make a Ghost boot Disk. (see Ghost documentation
for how to make the disk)
2
But here is an important
caveat! Symantec has de-
powered Ghost to such an extent that cloning your boot drive seems no longer possible. In typical Symantec fashion, they are cute and then evasive on the subject. Try going to symantec.com and entering the query "clone boot drive". The Symantec website greets that question with an answer to the effect that "they have never heard
that question before".
3
Clone your boot-drive? Huh?
Why do you want to do that? We know that when we sold you Ghost that we promised that you could safely infer that you could clone your boot-drive: but in the interim we have forgotten exactly
how to do that. Symantec's
evasions typically have a criminal purpose: to sell expensive software which simply does not work.
4
There is no question that
earlier versions of Ghost could effortlessly clone Windows XP boot-drives. So why the change - why do recent versions of Ghost put the user through hours of
work creating images that when restored simply will not boot. Do you suppose that Uncle Billy might have had something to do with that?
5
Shut down the system and
either temporarily or permanently connect the new hard drive. They both need to be in the system to clone. Most likely this will be a temporary arrangement if you want to remove the old drive or rearrange the connections later.
6
If you installed ghost on the
system where you're cloning
the drive, boot to windows on your old drive and go into
ghost. Select clone under ghost advanced and follow through the screens. Select old drive as source and new as the destination. See ghost documentation or help if
you're not familiar with all the
steps. The system will reboot and run the clone operation
7
If you made a ghost boot disk boot the system from the disk and ghost will load directly. Use your mouse or keyboard to select clone from the menus and then run the operation.
8
IMPORTANT: ONCE THE
OPERATION IS DONE DO NOT BOOT WINDOWS RIGHT AWAY!! If your old drive is still connected booting to
windows on the new drive will cause problems. You need to remove the old drive from your system or delete the partitions BEFORE you boot windows on the new drive. If your in doubt if the
ghost operation worked.. just
physically disconnect the old
drive. Once you confirm the new drive is working reconnect the old drive. Use a windows setup boot disk to delete windows off the old drive. Simply start setup from the boot disk and get to the
partition screen to delete the
partition (make sure you do this on the OLD DRIVE!) then exit setup without going any further (you don't actually want to install windows).
9
Connect the new (and old if
keeping it in the system) drive permanently and close up your PC.

Webmasters / How To Hack Into A Computer Without An Account by Holuwarthomisin(m): 7:52pm On Sep 04, 2019
If you have reason to access a
computer without an account, you'll need to navigate to the "Safe Mode
with Command Prompt" and change the password. You should then be able to restart the computer and enter the new password for the account you hacked. This method only works for Windows operating systems.
Steps
1
Turn on the Computer.

Before it shows the Windows
Logo, start repeatedly pressing the F8 key.
3
Use the up/down keys to
navigate your way to "Safe
Mode with Command Prompt" and press enter. (After this the screen will appear dark and will show a bunch of computer codes. Don't be afraid, this will only go on for a little while. Just make sure no one else comes in when the screen is like that). Then it will go to the account/login screen

Notice there will be a new
account called 'Administrator'

accounts on that computer.
Pick which one you want to hack. Let's say on that computer the accounts are named Bob, Nate,
and Pat. If you pick Bob then
simply type in:net user Bob *
After this it will tell you to
type a new password When you are typing, it will appear as if you aren't typing anything. Don't worry, this is
for security reasons. Just make SURE that you spell it correctly.

Confirm the password. After
you are finished it will ask you to confirm the new password.After this shutdown the computer and then start it up again.
9
Find the account that you
hacked and enter the new

Programming / How To Use Social Bookmarking by Holuwarthomisin(m): 12:40pm On Sep 04, 2019
As the web gets more and more profound, and there's more to read and remember, browser bookmarking becomes less and less
desirable to internet savvy users.
Social bookmarking is a method of bookmarking which is posted online,
catalogued with comments and "tags" (labels for your bookmarks), and shared with your friends.
Steps
1
Decide which site you are
going to use. A current list of
social bookmarking sites is
available on Wikipedia[1].
2
Register at your chosen site.
3
Install bookmarking toolbars
or browser extensions. The site you choose will list a few ways that you can make social bookmarking easier, such as adding an IE toolbar, or a Firefox extension.
4
Add bookmarks. Surf to a site
you wish to bookmark, and add using the tools you installed earlier.
5
Tag your bookmark. Most social bookmarking sites categorize your bookmark using tags, or keywords. These tags will be useful later when you are trying to find a specific bookmark, or similar bookmarks.
6
Invite your friends. Social
bookmarking is meant to be
social.
7
Browse other people's
bookmarks. This is where the
social part really expands. Look not only at your friends'
bookmarks, but try searching for tags you used to see sites that other people tagged with the same keyword.
Programming / How To Design A Website For SEO by Holuwarthomisin(m): 12:28pm On Sep 04, 2019
Learning to design an excellent SEO incorporated website is not a joke, it requires a systematic approach. Anyone who is design a SEO friendly website has to keep in mind few things....
Steps 1
Research keywords. When
designing a search engine
friendly site, carry out the
research for keywords. Make
effective use of a word tracker or other keyword finding tools. A word tracker is a keyword research tool from which one can find relevant databases that could help one grab the attention of
prospective audience. The two main things to remember are competition search and the misspelling search.
Step 2
Place keywords strategically .
Researching for the keyword is a complex chore, but what holds more complexity is correct placement of researched keywords.
*Place keywords in the URL.
Inclusion of keywords in the
URL of the website is optimal.
If you have multiple words
that need to be placed in the
URL, then appropriately
separated dashes should be
used.
*Focus on areas that register
well with search engines,
including bold headings, near
the top of the page and at the
end of the page.
*Embed keywords in the
anchor text used to describe
links, your domain name and
title and Meta tags.
*Use keywords to create a
theme throughout the
content on your site. Search
engines tend to look for a
theme or common topic on a
Website in an effort to deliver
more relevant results for
searchers.
*Place your keywords as
closely together as possible,
while making sure your
sentences remain clear.
*Ensure a proper keyword
density or weight but not
overload. Between 1 and 1.5 % of keywords, in relation to
other text, is the best density.
Step 3
Include Meta and title tags.
Some search engines still use
Meta Keyword, Meta Description and Title tags to catalog and rank Web pages. Be sure to place a title tag at the top of each page to identify the document's overall content. Use your keywords in H2 and H3 tags. You should also write an accurate Meta description tag.
Don't neglect to include Meta keyword tag to reveal the most important keywords for each page to search engine spiders.
Step 4
Keep your content updated. This lets search engines know the content on your site isn't stale, plus it will keep your site appealing to visitors looking for the latest information.
Step 5
Provide enough content. Major search engines typically require you to have at least 300 words on each page.
Step 6
Use images sparingly. Apart
from the logo or any other
specific symbol, the text of the website should be kept away from images. The size and the placement of the image also need to be watched. Include alt text for images.
Step 7
Avoid using frames if possible. Frames, which are being used less and less, enable you to split a page into pieces and section off
static content to decrease
download times. However, they can cause navigation difficulties and prevent search engines from being able to access every page on your website.
Step 8
Build incoming or back links.
Most major search engines rank Web pages based on the number and quality of links that point to the Website (link popularity). They do so because it's very difficult for Web masters to "fake"
good links. As a result, link
analysis gives search engines a useful means of determining which pages are good for particular topics.
Listing your Website with relevant directories and portals is an ideal way to build valuable incoming links. You can also write articles, forum/blog posts, and testimonials and include a link pointing back to your site. In addition, you can trade links with Websites that complement yours. Just make sure they're not competing Websites. The
main objective is to link to
sites that are closely related
to your site's topic. Keep in mind that search engines look for websites that are useful for site visitors. If your linking structure indicates that it is helpful and informative, you'll generate
more favorable search engine
rankings. You'll also enjoy a
steady stream of targeted
traffic from your link partners.
