How to Disable/Enable Google Suggest
Google has recently announced its new feature Google Suggest rolling out from the Google Labs. As you type into the search box, Google Suggest guesses what you are typing and offers suggestions in real time. This is similar to Google’s “Did you mean?” feature that offers alternative spellings for your query after you search, except that it works in real time. For example, if you type “bass,” Google Suggest might offer a list of refinements that include “bass fishing” or “bass guitar.” Similarly, if you type in only part of a word, like “prog,” Google Suggest might offer you refinements like “programming,” “programming languages,” “progesterone,” or “progressive.” You can choose one by scrolling up or down the list with the arrow keys or mouse.
And if you do not want this feature to be on your Google Search bar, you can easily take it off. Google does offers you a choice to opt out from the google suggest. Go to the Google Search Preference Page and go to Query Suggestions. You have two options for query suggestions Provide query suggestions in the search box and Do not provide query suggestions in the search box. Disabling Suggest can be done by selecting Do not provide query suggestions in the search box and can be enabled by selecting Provide query suggestions in the search box.
Hide Your Key Strokes From Keylogger
Are you using the PC of your friend or from Internet Cafes, then you could be a target for those who are behind you to steal you personal information, passwords and credit card details. And mostly all these information is ripped from the PC with help of key loggers which record all your key stokes whether its in word or you typing your password everything is either stored in unknown destination in PC or mailed to a predefined email. And its all in a fraction, you loose everything. So incase you happen to use a strange PC do keep in mind to type the sensitive information with the following two tools.
Neo’s SafeKeys is a small program that helps to defeat keyloggers on unsecure computer terminals (such as Internet Cafes).It is a custom-made tool that allows for you to mouse-click your password on an on-screen keyboard.
You type your password by clicking each button on the keyboard of this application (with your mouse). Your password will appear, letter by letter, in the text box at the bottom of the window (within a “******” password mask). Select the text with your mouse and then drag-drop it onto the password box on your online form. That’s it!
Alternatively you may use Online Keyboard which work the same way as Neo’s Safekeys. Virtual Keyboard is the great thing when you can’t install or use additional keyboard layouts bundled with your OS. For example, you’re at the internet cafe where only En/US layout is available and you want to write some letters to your Russian, Korean, Japanese or any other friends. Yes, you can just transliterate your writing, but this will take much more time than you ever expect and makes reading boring.
This is the case to have the VirtualKeyboard installed on a site: you just open it and begin typing. Virtual keyboard will do the translation/transliteration job for you on the fly. The same goes to the search engines, forums, webmail systems and much other online and offline applications. It makes a sense, to integrate tiny app there and make life easier for you and your customers.
