• Once your mobile is verified you will be asked to “Trust this computer”.Only check this option if you are using a personal computer or laptop otherwise uncheck it.When you enable this option then if you lose your mobile phone then you will be able to login from this trusted computer without any verification.
• Also google will not send any codes if you login from trusted computer but you will receive codes and can’t be allowed to login on other computers without verification.
• Now 2-step verification is on for your google account and you will see a 2-step verification page after setup.
• You will see a number of options here.See “Mobile application”.Now we will setup google authenticator for your account.I am doing it for android.Click “Android” in front of “Mobile application”.A page will open with a qr code.Make sure that you have installed google authenticator and “ZXING barcode scanner” app from play store.

• Again goto google authenticator>setup account>Enter provided key.Then enter your full google email address and secret key and click next.You will see that account getting randomly generated codes in google authenticator.

The above process can be repeated for multiple google accounts using just the same google authenticator app.This method is faster because you don’t need to receive codes on multiple mobile numbers.You can use this app to use security codes and it works in flight mode also and doesn’t require any data network.Here is the demo how google authenticator works.

• Enter the code and you will login into account.Check or uncheck “Don’t ask for codes on this computer” if you want to trust or untrust that computer.

Note : After enabling two step verification you will be unable to login in to gmail for android.It will say wrong password entered everytime.But don’t worry this is due to 2-step verification.You need to create application specific passwords to login into gmail android after enabling 2-step verification for google account.You can learn by checking how to create application specific passwords for google account.

5 Tips To Buy Products Online

Buying products online sometimes proves useful because it saves much time and product is delivered to your doorstep.But buying all products online is not recommended if you buy costly products online.If you are a beginner to online shopping then you may be fooled by many ecommerce websites if you are not aware of them.Here are some tips that will make you feel safe while shopping online.

Tips To Buy Products Online

1.Ecommerce Website Reputation : You will see a number of ecommerce websites on the web from which you want to buy products.But all ecommerce websites are not good at giving good customer service and their most of the products are faulty.I myself got cheated from one of an online shopping website.I bought a product and it was faulty and not working at all.So always shop online with a trusted online shopping  website.Some of trusted online shopping websites are amazon,ebay and flipkart(only for India).

2.Buy Branded Products Only : Always buy original and branded products because original and branded products are manufactured from high quality hardware and equipments.For example if you are buying a mobile phone or a television then you can go for Samsung.Samsung’s customer service is very good and there is no problem with warranty.If you buy an unbranded product then you may be wasting your money.So always buy branded and original products.

3.Research About Products : Always make a detail research about the product which you are buying online.Check the specifications of that product on that online shopping website and also check the same product’s specifications on the manufacturer’s website.Specifications on both the websites should match.For example if you are buying a Samsung smartphone from a trusted ecommerce website then check its all specifications on that online shopping website as well as check them on samsung’s website.Specifications on both websites should match exactly.

4.Cash On Delivery : If you are shopping online then always choose “Cash On Delivery” as the payment method.If you choose this method of payment then you can save your money from being wasted because suppose if you receive a product that is faulty,mishandled or having manufacturing defects then you can easily save your money by saying that “I am not going to pay for this faulty product”.However if you had made an online payment for the same then when you receive this faulty product you should ask the delivery boy for replacement.Replacement may take upto one week.It does not mean that all online shopping websites deliver faulty products but one product is faulty in every ten products.So wisely choose the payment methods.

5.Payment Gateways : If you are making an online payment(however it is not recommended for costly product) then that ecommerce website will automatically redirect you to your bank’s website.What you have to do is  to check that it is your bank’s website and is secured with a SSL certificate,do not enter your payment details if you find something wrong and treacherous.All banks websites are secured by a 128 bit or 256 bit SSL certificate which can be seen as green https in google chrome.Green https means that identity of website is verified and is secure.

These are some tips that will help you to buy products online smartly.While buying products online you should be aware of the product by properly researching about it.It will not only save your money but also you will get right product and satisfaction.

3.File Sharing Options : You can attach files either by uploading them from your pc or choosing files from google drive linked to that google account.Clicking the “+” sign will reveal the file sharing options.You can insert an image,a hyperlink,a smiley and a calendar date.The file sharig option from google drive is very fast because it will save your uploading time and data if the file is already on google drive.To delete the message click the “garbage bin” icon and your message will be deleted.

How To Choose A Graphics Card For Gaming On Windows Pc

Gaming on windows is awesome and affordable because it is cheaper to buy a nvidia graphics card rather than buying a dedicated gaming console.Gaming on windows is almost similar as on latest gaming consoles like ps3 if we talk about graphics.To run latest games you need a graphics card of a good brand like nvidia or amd radeon.You might be thinking what is a graphics card.A graphics card is an advanced gpu chip specially designed to decode the game software programs that cannot be done by onboard intel graphics chip.Latest windows games require a good hardware specification in your computer,out of which pci graphics card is the most important.

In this post you will know how to choose a graphics card for gaming on windows.Before buying a graphics card you should be aware of existing hardware on your pc like ram,processor and expansion slots.A pc having low ram and a processor having low frequency can’t be used to play latest ps3 games on windows.I am assuming that your pc has a good processor,RAM around 2 GB and a good motherboard which has PCIex16 slot PCI 1.0.PCIex16 is a graphics card slot on your motherboard.If your pc has all these specifications and just missing a GPU unit then you can turn your computer into a gaming pc.

How Choose A Graphics Card For Gaming

1.Select A Brand : To buy a graphics card you need to select a brand or OEM manufacturer.Some brand names are Asus,Nvidia and Amd.In my opinion I will prefer Nvidia because nvidia is the leading GPU manufacturer around the globe.Nvidia graphics chips are also used in the playstation 3 which delivers life like graphics on playstation 3.So nvidia is the best graphics card manufacturer.

2.Graphics Memory : Most games require graphics memory upto 512 MB but you should buy a graphics card having memory of 1GB or more.Having a larger graphics memory will ensure excellent gaming experience and you will not fall short for memory because you have enough of it.So look for graphics memory before choosing.

3.Direct X Version : Today all latest games require that your GPU should be direct X 11 compatible.The latest version is direct X 11.Every graphics card that you are buying should be direct X 11 compatible otherwise there is no use of buying it.

4.Open GL : Open GL is a multiplatform API which is responsible for rendering 2D and 3D computer graphics.Without open GL we can’t render 2D or 3D gaming graphics.Open GL is used in almost every graphics rendering like virtual reality and specially in gaming.The current stable version for open GL is 4.3 and your graphics card should be open GL 4.2 compatible.Buying a graphics card lower than this open GL version is of no use.

5.Nvidia Cuda Cores : If you are a buying a nvidia then look for cuda cores.The more number of cuda cores the more smooth will be the gaming experience.Cuda cores are actually small processors that handle different tasks during decoding a game program.These tasks include virtual reality rendering and tough physics calculations.If your budget is low then search for best graphics card in that range having good number of cuda cores by comparing them.

5.GPU Clock And Pixel Shader: Check the GPU clock.It should be above 700 MHz.The pixel shader version should be 5.0.Pixel shader is a code running on gpu which creates shades and appropriate lights in images in games.

How to Get Quality Backlinks for Your Site to Drive Traffic

Backlinks are one of the best ways to increase your page rank and raise your position in search results. The more links you have, the higher your page rank. However, not all links are created equal. The links you get must be from quality sites, or else they may actually bring down your page rank.

Quality backlinks come from high-ranking sites in your niche.Quality backlinks are responsible for driving quality traffic to your site.Not sure where to start? Here are some of the best ways to get quality backlinks for your site to drive traffic.

1.Guest Blogging
The preferred method for getting quality backlinks is to write guest posts for other blogs that have a high page rank. You write the post, and the blog admin publishes it with your byline and a link to your site.
The key to successful link building with guest posting is to target blogs in your niche that have a high page rank and high traffic. The more authority the guest blog has, the more you will benefit from having it in your link portfolio.

2.Commenting on Blogs and Forums
If you can't get a guest post published on an authority blog, you can try commenting on it instead. Commenting on blog posts and forum threads on high-quality, high-ranking sites can give you a valuable link. The key is to write a comment that adds value to the conversation -- not just a comment that says "I agree" or "Nice post".
When you leave a link with your comment, make sure it's relevant. Spamming sites with your link will only work against you and bring down the value of the link.

3.Submitting to Article Directories
There are dozens of article directories on the web, and if you submit content for them, you can get back a link to your site. However, there are many spammy directories out there, so it is important to choose your submissions wisely. Be sure to choose a directory that has a high page rank, and submit unique content to each directory. Duplicate content can bring down the value of your link.You can submit your content to article directories like ezinearticles.

4.Social Media Marketing
Links on some social media sites, like Pinterest, can help boost your page rank. There has long been speculation that the more +1's you get on Google+ the more of a boost your page will get. However, the majority of social media sites do not generate quality links for your site.
The reason these sites are still useful is that they help you to connect with readers who may share your content and get it linked out to other sites because of the exposure. Share your content regularly on social media, and devise a strategy for growing your followers to get the most exposure for your content.
Generating quality backlinks is one of the best ways to raise the page rank of your site and to get more traffic. While these strategies are not difficult to employ, they will take time if used correctly by sourcing the most high-quality sites.

Cpu : 1.2 GHz Dual core processor
Os : Android 4.1.2 Jellybean

UI : Touchwiz 4.0
Connectivity : 3G,WiFi,GPRS,Hotspot,GPS,EDGE
Sensors : Proximity,Accelerometer,Gyro and  Compass

These were some important specification of samsung galaxy grand duos.There are two views by which we can review this phone and can tell the pros and cons.One is the price view and other is feature view.

Feature View

• Screen : If we look at the features of this phone then we can say that features are good but not perfect.The screen size of galaxy grand duos is of 5 inches but the screen is of LCD type not super AMOLED or super LCD like in galaxy s3 and galaxy note 2.So forget about high screen quality like in galaxy note 2.The screen is LCD having 16M colors only.
• Processor : The processor is just fine.Its a dual core 1.2 GHz (broadcomm processor).This is the only reason why it is priced at low price.You will not have any problems with the peocessor performance because its a dual core and can deliver smooth performance while gaming and multiwindow tasks.Multiwindow is a new feature in touchwiz 4.0 in which we can run multiple apps on same screen.
• RAM : RAM is 1 GB and could have been better like 1.5 GB or 2 GB.
• Android Version : Galaxy grand duos runs on android 4.1.2 jellybean os which comes preinstalled and samsung touchwiz 4.0.

Price View

The price of this phone is around 21500 INR.So according to me this phablet is a best buy in this price range.In this affordable price range you are getting much good features like a 1.2 GHz dual core processor,1 GB RAM,Mali graphics,5 inch touchscreen with a phablet experience.Compare this phone with Sony Xperia P and you will know the difference.This is the best android deal in this price range.Only screen may be the issue for some but rest is excellent in this phone.

Why You Should Buy This Phone

You should buy this phone if you want to buy a good brand dual core phablet running on android 4.1.2 jellybean with a decent specification of hardware and software.You will not buy this phone if you want a phone with super AMOLED touchscreen with a quad core processor.Before looking at specifications look at the price of this phablet.Hats off to Samsung for creating a phablet at this low price because technology is never bad we should always admire it.
