Which software had the most publicly disclosed vulnerabilities this year? The winner is none other than Apple’s Mac OS X, with 384 vulnerabilities. The runner-up? Apple’s iOS, with 375 vulnerabilities.

Rounding out the top five are Adobe’s Flash Player, with 314 vulnerabilities; Adobe’s AIR SDK, with 246 vulnerabilities; and Adobe AIR itself, also with 246 vulnerabilities. For comparison, last year the top five (in order) were: Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Apple’s Mac OS X, the Linux Kernel, Google’s Chrome, and Apple’s iOS.

These results come from CVE Details, which organizes data provided by the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). As its name implies, the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system keeps track of publicly known information-security vulnerabilities and exposures.

Here is the 2015 list of the top 50 software products in order of total distinct vulnerabilities:



You’ll notice that Windows versions are split separately, unlike OS X. Many of the vulnerabilities across various Windows versions are the same, so there is undoubtedly a lot of overlap. The argument for separating them is probably one of market share, though that’s a hard one to agree to, given that Android and iOS are not split into separate versions. This is the nature of CVEs.

It’s also worth pointing out that the Linux kernel is separate from various Linux distributions. This is likely because the Linux kernel can be upgraded independently of the rest of the operating system, and so its vulnerabilities are split off.

If we take the top 50 list of products and categorize them by company, it’s easy to see that the top three are Microsoft, Adobe, and Apple:


Keep in mind that tech companies have different disclosure policies for security holes. Again, this list paints a picture of the number of publicly known vulnerabilities, not of all vulnerabilities, nor of the overall security of a given piece of software.

If you work in IT, or are generally responsible for the security of multiple systems, there are some obvious trends to keep in mind. Based on this list, it’s clear you should always patch and update operating systems, browsers, and Adobe’s free products.

Have you been spending too much time on social media? Is that making much of your internet usage wasteful? Social media can be so addictive, so much that we spend hours on it without really noticing.

While social media does contribute in healthy discussions and is also our primary source of news and ideas at times, it’s equally likely to encourage us to refrain from learning something useful in our lives.

Here are 25 recommended websites which you should check if you want to escape from the vicious trap of social media and live a life full of knowledge, joy, and inspiration.

1. Coursera


Coursera offers MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) on wide range of subjects from hundreds of institutions and renowned professors. You can teach yourself anything from history to programming and learn with a large online community. You can receive a world class education right from your home for free and develop a solid background in a subject area of your interest.

2. edX


edX is another MOOC platform where you can take online courses from the finest universities in the world. It was initiated as a joint venture by MIT and Harvard University. It also offers hundreds of courses in different subject areas, similar to Coursera.

3. Khan Academy

At Khan Academy, you can access a wide-ranging library of interactive content on almost every subject out there. You don’t only learn those subjects through wonderful videos, but you also have chance to practice on the subject regularly and keep track of your learning. It’s a great platform to both learn new things and expand on earlier knowledge.

4. Udemy


Udemy is also a MOOC provider, but unlike academic MOOC providers like Coursera and edX, it focuses on providing real-world skills online. It offers courses on topics from building an ecommerce site and playing guitar to photography. It’s actually a marketplace for online learning, where experts on different subjects offer you lessons, either for free or at a certain price.

5. Quora


You can learn almost anything on Quora from experts and recognized people, as well as not-so-famous people. This is a question-answer platform where users ask and answer questions. But, unlike other similar sites, the user profiles are authentic and questions and answers are managed according to their uniqueness and relevance.

6. Stack Overflow


Stack Overflow is probably the single most important site for a programmer. If you’re a programmer, or want to learn programming, this site should easily be your best friend. At this question-answer site for programmers, you can ask questions about your computing difficulties and learn from other people’s answers.

7. Codeacademy


At Codeacademy, you can learn programming languages like HTML, CSS, PHP, and Python in a very easy and interactive way. It makes programming a fun activity and is very handy for beginners starting at programming. However, the depth it covers is very shallow and this site is helpful only for introductory knowledge of the subject.

8. Tutorialspoint


Tutorialspoint is another programming and computer science related site on this list, which helps you master different computer-related topics. It provides in-depth knowledge, unlike Codecademy. You can grow on the basic foundation provided by Codeacademy and achieve mastery on anything from Big Data to App Development at Tutorialspoint.

9. eHow


eHow teaches you wide array of skills on different topics step-by-step. The content is created by its team of writers, called experts, who create how-to guides on topics from personal hygiene to food recipes. You can learn anything from making a Raspberry Pi Alarm clock to making a scarecrow for your garden.

10. Wikihow


WikiHow is another how-to site teaching us how to do things in an organized manner, but it has been modeled as a Wiki. At eHow, the staff themselves are paid to create the guides, but at Wikihow, everyone can edit, modify, and delete content. So, it’s not just about learning — you can also teach others the valuable skills you possess.

11. HowStuffWorks


HowStuffWorks is another wonderful website to broaden your horizons, providing you with very unique and interesting information on a wide range of topics. It contains articles focusing on issues which haven’t been explored much previously. If you want to move an inch closer to the truth, this is surely the website you should visit often.

12. TED


According to TED, its mission is to spread ideas that are worth spreading. It features talks on variety of topics by experts in their fields who share their ideas, visions, and experiences through video talks. These talks are great way to introduce yourself very quickly and effortlessly to new concepts and develop new insights and perspectives.

13. Lumosity


Lumosity is a great website to improve your mental faculties like memory, attention, and analytical skills. You can train your brain with fun games, and it also offers you personalized training programs to restructure the training as per your needs and keep track of the progress. Its objective is to make you clever, and it’s quite addictive as well.

14. Duolingo


Duolingo is an award-winning platform that helps you learn and master new languages with minimal effort. It provides you advanced skills in several popular languages, such as Spanish, English, German, and French. It makes language learning a very easy and fun process and it’s completely free as well.

15. Instructables


nstructables is another wonderful site you should definitely choose over social media, which teaches you to create things. It offers you fun videos and instructions to build just about everything that you can imagine, from a cardboard batman cowl to water balloon mortar. You can also share what you can make with other people.

16. Digital Photography School


Digital Photography School is probably the most important photography blog out there, which offers plenty of tutorials to improve your photography skills. It doesn’t matter if you’ve years of experience under your belt or you’re just starting out, this site will surely help you grow as a photographer. It also provides you the opportunity to connect with a community of fellow photographers.

Your iPhone can do all sorts of magical things that you probably aren’t aware of. Here’s a list of some of the iPhone’s coolest hidden features.

1. Shake to undo

ake a mistake while typing or editing a picture? No worries! Just give your phone a little shake—like you’re making a martini— and it’ll ask you if you’d like to undo the action. Cheers!

2. Recharge your battery faster by switching to airplane mode


Switching to airplane mode turns off battery-draining wireless and cellular access, allowing your phone to recharge up to twice as fast.

3. Get Siri to read your emails aloud for you


ust say the magic words “Read my email” and Siri will read all your messages aloud to you. If you like, you can tell her to read only your most recent email (“Read my latest email”) or just those from a specific contact (“Do I have email from Mark?”).
Check your Siri setup >>> General

4. Find out which planes are flying overhead


Just ask her: “What flights are above me?” Or you can be even more blunt and just say, “Planes overhead.” Boom! She’ll bring up a list that shows all the flights above you at that moment. Why you would ever need this I have no idea, but it’s pretty rad anyway

5. Teach Siri how to pronounce words

The best part about this is that it makes you feel smarter than Siri. Whenever Siri mispronounces something, just tell her, “That’s not how you pronounce [BLANK]” and she’ll offer you alternatives. You can then select the best one.


6. Take a photo with the volume buttons


Sometimes it’s hard to snap a picture by touching the capture button—if you’re wearing gloves, say—in which case, you can take the shoot by pressing either the volume up or the volume down button. Problem solved!

7. Reveal time-stamps on text messages


Drag the text bubble to the left and you’ll see a time-stamp for every text message. Among other things, this will show you just how much time you waste texting.

8. Use your iPhone as a level


Need to hang a picture? In the Compass app, swipe left and your iPhone becomes a perfect level.

9. Make your iPhone speak selected text


I like to use this one randomly just to freak people out. First you have to enable Speak Selection. To do that go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speak Selection and turn it on. A “Speak” button will now appear whenever you select text. Bonus: you can also choose different accents (would you prefer an Aussie iPhone?) and even control the speed at which selected text is spoken. Trust me, you can waste a lot of time with this one.

10. Start a new sentence just by double-tapping the spacebar


Whenever you’re typing and you need to start a new sentence, just double-tap the spacebar and it will automatically add a period and a space for you.

11. Create custom keyboard shortcuts


Say there’s a certain word or phrase (or a password) that you use a lot. You can create a shortcut for it. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Shortcuts/Test Replacement > Add New Shortcut. Enter a word or phrase and the shortcut you’d like to use for it. Every time you type that shortcut, the whole word or phrase will magically appear. You can even create shortcuts for emoji!

12. Set your phone to emit light flashes for alerts


Instead of having your iPhone ring or vibrate when you get a call or a message, you can have it emit an LED flash. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then scroll down and turn on “LED Flash for Alerts.” Warning: it’s REALLY bright!

Enjoy and share:)
Happy New Year!!!

A Few Closing Notes
These shortcuts work on any computer. Some of the tools though, are available only on certain Windows versions so their shortcuts won’t work if you have a version which doesn’t include them. The collection was made using Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.1 Pro and Windows 10 Professional.

Please also note that:

The Windows Mobility Center shortcut will work only on mobile computers such as tablets, hybrids or laptops, and not on desktop PCs.
The shortcuts for Microsoft Security Essentials will work only if you have this security product installed. In Windows 8.1 and in Windows 10 this product cannot be installed. You will be able to use the built-in Windows Defender which is an upgraded version of Microsoft Security Essentials.
The Windows 7 folder includes shortcuts which do not work in Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 and vice-versa. This is because of the different features included or excluded from each operating system.

Extract and Enjoy:)

Windows 10 focused a lot on creating a better Desktop experience than ever before. We've got new features and options, like the support for multiple virtual Desktops, Cortana - a witty digital assistant, a new Start Menu and so on. While you can use a mouse or a touchscreen to navigate through Windows 10 and all its features, all the "user - computer" interaction can be faster and simpler, if you choose to also use the keyboard shortcuts available for this operating system. In this article, our goal is to present you some of the most useful keyboard shortcuts from Windows 10. We won't include each and every available keyboard shortcut - we'll only share the ones we consider both easy to remember and useful from a productivity perspective. Let's get started:

Shortcut Keys For The Desktop

The Desktop is surely the most used user interface part, so any keyboard shortcut that helps you do stuff faster on it, is surely a good thing. So here are some of the most useful Desktop keyboard shortcuts in Windows 10:




Windows - Opens and closes the Start Menu.

Windows + A - Opens the Action Center.

Windows + D - Switches between Show Desktop and the initial state your Desktop was in. To say it in other words: it hides or shows any applications and windows from your Desktop.

Windows + E - Launches File Explorer.

Windows + I - Open the Settings app.

Windows + K - Opens the Connect pane, from which you can initiate connections to wireless displays and audio devices.

Windows + L - Locks your Windows 10 computer or device and takes you to the Lock screen.

Windows + M - Minimizes all the open windows from your Desktop.

Windows + O - Locks the display orientation of your Windows 10 device. This is useful when you want your Windows 10 tablet or hybrid to stay in Portrait or Landscape mode, even if you re-orientate it.

Windows + P - Opens the Project pane and allows you to search and connect to external displays and projectors.

Windows + R - Launches the Run window.

Windows + X - Opens the advanced menu from the lower-left corner of the screen. It's also known as the WinX menu or the power user's Start Menu.

Windows + Print Screen - Takes a picture of your screen and automatically saves it in your Screenshots folder. By default, it's located in This PC -> Pictures -> Screenshots.

Windows + , - Gives you a peek at the Desktop.

Windows + Spacebar - Switches between available input languages and keyboard layouts.

Shortcut Keys For Working With Cortana

Cortana is one of the best new features from Windows 10. She's very easy to find on your taskbar, and it's even faster to simply call her by saying "Hey Cortana!". However, there are people out there that would surely like to use the keyboard to start interacting with her:





Windows + S - Launches Cortana and you can start using her right away.

Windows + C - Launches Cortana into listening mode, so you can begin to speak to Cortana immediately.

Shortcut Keys For Switching Between Apps In Windows 10

When you find yourself working with lots of apps at the same time, having the ability to quickly switch between them without having to move away from your keyboard can be quite useful:



Alt + Tab - Repeatedly pressing the Tab key while holding Alt pressed cycles through open windows and apps. Release the Tab key on the window or app that you want to open.

Ctrl + Alt + Tab - Displays the list of open windows and apps and keeps the list on screen even after you release the keys. You can then navigate through open windows and apps using the arrow keys.

Windows + Tab - Opens Task view, from where you can switch between open windows or virtual Desktops.

Shortcut Keys For Managing App Windows

In addition to switching between apps, managing multiple windows found simultaneously on your screen can also be faster if you can do it exclusively from your keyboard:



Windows + Left Arrow - Snaps the active window to the left half of your screen.

Windows + Right Arrow - Snaps the active window to the right half of your screen.

Windows + Up Arrow - Maximizes the active window both vertically and horizontally.

Windows + Down Arrow - Restores your active window to its initial state, or minimizes it.

Windows + Shift + Up Arrow - Maximizes the active window vertically, maintaining its width.

Windows + Shift + Down Arrow - Restores or minimizes your active window vertically, maintaining its width.

Windows + Home - Minimizes all inactive windows and restores them all if you use the key combination again.

Windows + Shift + Left Arrow - If you have multiple monitors, moves the active window to the monitor on the left.

Windows + Shift + Right Arrow - If you have multiple monitors, moves the active window to the monitor on the right.

Alt + Space - Launches the title bar menu of the current window. You can also access this menu by right clicking the title bar of the current window. The menu generally includes options to resize the window and other application specific options.

F11 - Enables or disables the full screen view of the active window. It works only for the applications that support this feature, like File Explorer and most of the web browsers.

Windows + Ctrl + D - Creates a new virtual Desktop.

Windows + Ctrl + Left Arrow - Switches to the previous virtual Desktop.

Windows + Ctrl + Right Arrow - Switches to the next virtual Desktop.

Windows + Ctrl + F4 - Closes the current virtual Desktop.

Shortcut Keys For The Taskbar In Windows 10

The taskbar is one of the definitory parts of the Windows operating systems. Being able to quickly jump or access apps pinned to it is definitely useful:
Windows + 1, Windows +2, etc. - Launch the first, second, third... application pinned to the taskbar, and so on. For instance, Windows + 1 launches whichever application is first in the list, numbered from left to right.

Windows + T - Highlights the first application in the taskbar. You can use the arrow keys to cycle through the taskbar applications. The applications that are running also display a thumbnail above their icon when you select them.

Windows + B - If the Notification Area Icons are set to "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar", this keyboard shortcut highlights the first application in the system tray. You can use the arrow keys to cycle through all the applications found in the system tray. If the "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" is disabled, this keyboard shortcut highlights the "Show hidden icons" arrow. You can then press Enter to display the hidden icons or use the arrow keys to cycle through the applications found in the system tray.

Shift + click on a taskbar application - Launches a new instance of the selected application. It works only for applications which support running in multiple instances, like Microsoft Office or Internet browsers.

Ctrl + Shift + click on a taskbar application - Launches a new instance of the selected application with administrator rights. It works only for applications which support running in multiple instances, like Microsoft Office or Internet browsers.

Shift + right click on a taskbar application - Launches the contextual menu for that application instead of the list with recent items or pinned tasks or folders.

Shortcut Keys For Accessibility Options In Windows 10

If you are need to quickly and easily launch Accessibility options from Windows 10, here are a few keyboard shortcuts you can use:

Windows + U - Launches the Ease of Access Center.

Windows + Enter - Launches Narrator.

Windows + + - Launches Magnifier and zooms in.

Windows + Escape - Closes Magnifier



HAPPY WINDOW10ing:)

We would like for Microsoft to release a Windows version that allows users to password protect specific folders that contain sensitive data. Until that happens, if you want to do this, you have to use third-party software made by other companies. Even though there are plenty of programs to choose from, most of them are very annoying. We made an extensive research and tested more than 20 programs of this type. In this article we would like to recommend the best five tools for the job.

LocK-A-FoLdeR - Free

LocK-A-FoLdeR is the perfect solution for absolute beginners. It uses only a single master password and it has a very minimal user interface. Also, it doesn't offer any settings that you can fiddle with.



After you have selected the folders that you want to protect, all you have to do is close the application.
Instead of using encryption, this program simply hides the folders from any user who might try to access them. To restore access to your protected folders you will have to reopen the program and use the unlock button.

A very good thing about LocK-A-FoLdeR is the fact that it doesn't need any services to run in order to keep your folders private. It is both easy to use and free.

Folder Guard - Commercial

This is one of the best programs we have tested in this roundup. It has a lot of features and all of them work well. You can protect files and folders using individual passwords or you can choose to simply lock and hide them. The interface looks good, it is well structured and easy to use. You can drag and drop the folders that you want to protect or you can use the tree view to select them. A really nice feature is that it allows you to create filters for different kinds of files so that they will be automatically protected. Also, you can choose to selectively assign access permissions for the user accounts that are registered on your computer.
