Sonar Software Detects Laptop

User Presence
 

      "A research group at Northwestern University and University of Michigan has released open-source display power-management software that uses a new user presence detection technique. The goal is to shut off the display immediately when the user leaves the computer rather than using slow and error-prone mouse/keyboard activity timeouts. Surprisingly, the mic and speakers of many laptop computers are sensitive to ultrasonic frequencies. Those frequencies can be used to silently probe the laptop's physical environment. This software is based on research published at the UbiComp2009 conference. A Windows binary and source code for Windows (XP, Vista, and 7) and Linux are available for download."

REMINDERS:

TIME TO UPDATE CLEANUP SOFTWARES

 

Many of you have applications on your machines that help cleanup old files, registry entries, temp folders, etc. Additionally, you may also be using other programs to clean spyware, malware, and/or viruses. For those of you who live with the red "X" on the little icon at the bottom of your screen, today is the day to STOP, UPDATE THE PROGRAM(S), and RUN A SCAN.

 

Infection exists on many machines and it may or may not display symptoms. To be sure, update and run your scans before you notice the problems. If there any problems, please don't hesitate to let us know.

 

TIPS:

Bring Misplaced Off-Screen Windows Back to Your Desktop

If you’ve ever hooked up your laptop to a secondary monitor and then disconnected without remembering to move the windows back to the primary desktop, you’ve probably encountered this problem:

The application is running. You can see it in the taskbar, but you can’t see it on the screen, because it still thinks it’s running on the secondary monitor. You try and use right-click, Move, but that doesn’t do anything, and the window doesn’t move anywhere. You end up rebooting and cursing Microsoft.

There’s a simple trick to get around this. First make sure you’ve alt-tabbed to the window, or clicked on it once to bring it into focus. Then right-click on the taskbar and choose Move

At this point, you should notice that your cursor changes to the “Move” cursor, but you still can’t move anything.

Just hit any one of the arrow keys (Left, Right, Down, Up), move your mouse, and the window should magically “pop” back onto the screen.

Note: For keyboard savvy people, you can just alt-tab to the window, use Alt+Space, then M, then Arrow key, and then move your mouse.

This should work on any version of Windows.
