Auto login feature in Windows XP allows to start your computer and use the account that you establish to automatically log on.

Enabling auto logon makes your computer more convenient to use, but can pose a security risk.

skype engineers have been working with Freetalk on a super-secret project for quite a few months . The challenge was to produce a super – wideband audio headset for everyone, everywhere.
It’s now ready for public consumption – a plug-and-play super-wideband audio headset which gives you great quality Skype calls. It’s lightweight and folds flat so youcan throw it in your bag with your laptop.

The Everyman headset has an attractive, sturdy plastic design. It’s very adjustable –the headband adjusts to the size of your head and the flexible boom mic easily adjuststo the right place in front of your mouth. The mic folds up out of the way when you don’t need it, and the earpieces fold inward when you aren’t wearing the headset,taking up less space for travel and storage.

The headset connects to your computer via USB. In addition to the USB connection, the headset also has a regular 3.5 mm headphone jack, giving you extra flexibility to use the headset with your MP3 player or other device when you’re away from yourcomputer.

The FREETALK Everyman is a  Lightweight, comfortable, great-sounding but perhaps the best part is the price.
The Everyman is available in the Skype Shop for £18.51 in the UK, €19,88 in continental Europe and $22.88 in the US.

It’s great value and available now from the Skype Shop.

Google will open its wondrous widget  Google Wave service up to the public beginning on Sept 30.Come that day, Google will begin pushing out 100,000 Google Wave invites to those who signed up over on the official Google Wave page. Google did not say how invitations would be handled.

Google launched Google Wave at its Google IO conference at the end of May, but so far the Web giant has restricted the service to 6,000 or so developers.
Google Wave is a unique hybrid of email, chat, and a blog, and some expect it to eventually replace some of Google’s other applications.
Google is currently working on the “speed, stability, and usability of Google Wave” .

Here’s a preview of just some of the aspects of this new tool.

It combines aspects of email, instant messaging, wikis, web chat, social networking, and project management to build one elegant, in-browser communication client.

Google Wave has a lot of innovative features,  few are listed below:

• Real-time: In most instances, you can see what someone else is typing, character-by-character.
• Embeddability: Waves can be embedded on any blog or website.
• Applications and Extensions: Just like a Facebook application or an iGoogle gadget, developers can build their own apps within waves.
• Wiki functionality: Anything written within a Google Wave can be edited by anyone else, because all conversations within the platform are shared.
• Open source: The Google Wave code will be open source, to foster innovation and adoption amongst developers.
• Playback: You can playback any part of the wave to see what was said.
• Natural language: Google Wave can autocorrect your spelling, even going as far as knowing the difference between similar words, like “been” and “bean.” It can also auto-translate on-the-fly.
• Drag-and-drop file sharing: No attachments; just drag your file and drop it inside Google Wave and everyone will have access.
