How to Send Files Larger than 25MB Via Email

Gmail and few other mailing services doest allow us to send files larger than 25MB.But sometimes it becomes necessary to send files larger than 25MB like Videos,PPTs,Music etc.There are many ways by which you can send larger files via email.Here we discussed few simple ways to send files larger than 25MB Online.

Send Large Files with SuperShare.net:

You can also send your files to your friends via e-mail by uploading your file to a file server and then providing the download link in e-mail. When anyone clicks on that link or open that link then that file gets downloaded. So it is another simple method to send files.
The simplest and best file server I found over the Internet is supershare.net. You don’t need to sign up for uploading your files.

• Go to www.supershare.net.
• Click on the Choose File button and locate the file you need to upload from your computer and hit enter.
• Click on upload now! button over there and your file gets uploaded. 
• Copy the download link of your file when file is completely uploaded.
• Write your e-mail and provide that link in the e-mail.
• When recipient receives e-mail and clicks on that link then supershare.net is opened.
• Then recipient can download your file by clicking on download now button.

You can upload file of size upto 2GB on SuperShare.net. You can upload your file on other file server websites also like megashare.com, mediafire.com, etc.

Attach&Send Large Files application in Yahoo mail:

Yahoo mail allows you to attach and send files of size more than 25MB via e-mail. You need to follow the following simple steps.

• After login successfully, click on Upload Successfully button and let your file gets uploaded.
• Enter the recipient mail id, cc details, subject, write in the mail body and click on Send button.

Your file is delivered by YouSendIt application. This was the simplest way I found on the Internet to send files of size more than 25MB via e-mail. But if you don’t have yahoo id then try the other ways as mentioned below.

A Complete Guide To Laptop Operating Systems

When you buy a laptop these days you are not just buying a machine. You are buying the software that runs the machine. Years ago, there weren't many choices. Almost all consumers went with a Windows laptop. Some loyalists would choose Mac, while hardcore computer users might choose Linux. Through the years that has changed drastically.

More people than ever are buying Mac laptops. Windows comes in many forms, including the new Windows 8. There are tons of different Linux builds. Then there are the specialty operating systems. Google has released the Chrome OS for its Chromebook line. Android, too, powers many laptop-like devices. The choices are no longer straight forward. 

If you're looking to buy a laptop, or just want to become more familiar with the options available, this guide will show you the way.

List of all Major Laptop OS with their PROS and CONS:

Mac OSX

While it runs on less than 10 percent of all personal computers, Mac OSX has grown drastically in the last ten years. Fed up with Windows, many people have turned their attentions to Mac OSX on both desktops and laptops. 

Pros:

• Ease of use. Everything in OSX is relatively straight forward, making it easy to understand even for novice computer users.
• Efficiency. OSX is designed to correct itself, reallocating memory in order to run in the most efficient manner.
• Security. While there have been more malicious attacks on Macs in the last year than ever before, the incidents are still very rare compared to Windows PCs.
• Media. Macs were made to work with high-resolution video and audio media.

Cons:

• Software availability. Since about 90 percent of computer users run Windows machines, developers create more software for them. While Mac software availability has improved in the last ten years, there is still a lot more software for Windows.
• Closed environment. PC users switching to Mac will notice that they have a lot less control over the computing experience. Macs are known for their uniform user experiences.
• Price. Apple prices its Mac computers considerably higher than Windows laptops. Even their low-end devices cost $1,000US. Decent Windows laptops can be had for half that price.

Windows 8

The newest release from Microsoft, Windows 8 is all about cross-platform compatibility. It is meant to run not only on laptops and desktops, but also smartphones and tablets. The results have yet to be seen, but Windows 8 could be the OS that unites all of our gadgets.

Pros:

• User interface. The user interface of Windows 8 is one of the best Microsoft has ever created. For touchscreen laptops, there is the tile view. For traditional laptops there is the classic Windows view.
• Improvements. Since Windows 8 was just released, it will undergo many changes in the near future. Bugs will be fixed, and problems will be solved.
• Security. Windows 8 is the most secure version of Windows yet, which will increase its appeal.
• Range of devices. Windows 8 runs on all kinds of devices, including standard laptops, laptop-tablet hybrids, and the sleek new ultrabooks.

Cons:

• Buggy. While improvements are coming, Windows 8 still contains many bugs that hinder the user experience.
• Compatibility. There is some software not yet designed to run on Windows 8.
• Gaming. While most software runs well on Windows 8, games are not quite up to speed yet.
• Pricing. Microsoft ran a sale in late 2012, but Windows 8 pricing is back to its normal levels. You can, however, get a 90-day trial of Windows 8.

The good news is that many of the cons will go away as Windows 8 develops. It should be the best Windows by a long shot by the end of 2013.

Windows 7

After many failed releases, Microsoft finally won over the market with its Windows 7 operating system. Even though it has recently released Windows 8, Windows 7 remains a functional operating system that many users perfer.

Pros:

• Universality. More users run Windows 7 than any other computer platform. That allows users to share tips and tricks, as well as software.
• Gaming. While Windows 8 isn't quite up to speed yet, gamers love Windows 7. Many will not upgrade because of gaming issues.
• Customization. Windows 7 is the most customizable version of Windows.
• Efficiency. While not as efficient as Mac OSX, Windows 7 is an efficient operating system.

Cons:

• Support. Since there is a new version of Windows to support, Windows 7 won't receive the same level of support from Microsoft that it has in the past.
• Development. With more and more people installing Windows 8, developers will start focusing on that OS.
• Upgrading. Again, it will cost a lot to upgrade to Windows 8. Buying a Windows 7 laptop now means paying that upgrade cost in the future.

Chrome OS

In 2009 Google announced a new OS, called Chrome OS. It is based on their Chrome web browser, and it runs web apps instead of traditional apps. While Chromebooks got off to a slow start, they made progress in 2012. Google recently released the Chromebook Pixel, its most advanced model yet.

Pros

• Speed. Because Chrome OS contains few bells and whistles, it runs web apps faster than traditional laptops.
• Simplicity. Everything in Chrome OS is straight forward and easy to use, even for novice PC users.
• Essentials. Chrome OS contains essentials for web browsing and web use, even for heavy and pro web users.

Cons

• Power. Chromebooks are underpowered by design, since they require few resources. But they are sometimes underpowered, leading to issues.
• Limited capabilities. If you want to do anything that doesn't involve direct web use, you're out of luck. Chrome OS is severely limited in what it can perform.
• Clunky interface. Some Chromebooks feature touchscreens, but the OS doesn't seem to be designed for a touchscreen interface in the same way Android is.
• Price. Even the low-end Chromebooks are priced too highly for what they bring to the table. The new Pixel costs $1,300US, which is more than the MacBook Air.

How to Speed Up a PC-Tips to Increase Windows Performance

Microsoft windows operating system has been designed to deliver better speeds.Especially Windows 8 is far better than its predecessor.However, as time passes ,the laptop/PC might tend to get slower.There might be many reasons behind slow PC performance but you can optimize the speed with some simple tweaks and using few software's that clean your PC to increase its speed.

PC’s performance will slow down at 3 Instances:

1. At the time of BOOTING
2. During normally usage.
3. While Shutting Down.

Tips to Speed Up Windows Performance:

Use a Good Antivirus:

If you are not using a Good antivirus then the chances for your PC getting infected are pretty high.In this present world of Internet nothing is safe online.As windows is the most widely used operating system,many new viruses/trojans are created daily to exploit windows os.

Removing unwanted Startup Applications:

Sometimes even after the pc starts, few programs keeps on loading thereby stopping you from performing your operations.In some cases, you might come across a strange WINDOWS error known as “Blue Screen Of death”.To avoid this you have to limit the number of startup programs.Lesser the number of startup programs greater will be the pc startup speed.

•  Press” Windows key + R”(shortcut key for RUN)
• A RUN box will open .Type “Msconfig” (without quotes) in the RUN box and hit ENTER. It will take you to the “system configuration”.

• Select “START UP” from the Tab’s at the top and uncheck all the unwanted programs that you don’t want to get started along with startup. Now click “OK” and then “APPLY”.Restart the pc you will definiately notice an improvement in startup and booting speed.

Delete all the Temporary files and folders:

Windows stores some temporary files which are created while you are running any sort or applications. Deleting those Temporary files will helps you to increase your PC Performance during normal usage. Follow the steps below to delete the temporary files

• Press” Windows key + R”. 
• In the RUN box type “%temp%” (without quotes) and hit enter.

Temporary Files and Folders

• It will take you to a Folder where all the Temporary files are stored. Select and delete all the files. You may not delete all the files there, just skip those files which are undeletable.

Disk Clean Up:

Disk cleaning will delete all your temporary files from any drive of your Disk. Here is the Procedure

Press” Windows key + R”. 

Type “cleanmgr” (without Quotes) and hit enter.

Select the particular Disk that you want to Clean and click on “OK” and now you can delete all the temporary files. Repeat the same procedure for all the drives and it will really free some amount of memory in every drive.

Defragment Disk:

For Defragmenting the Disk follow the steps below:

1. Right click on any drive and select PROPERTIES

2. Click on TOOLS and select DEFRAGMENT NOW

3. ANALYSE the dick first and then DEFRAGMENT it.

Delete ”Old Windows” Files:

Normally your files of OLD version of windows can be removed easily using DISK CLEAN UP. So you can follow the same procedure to delete the files of OLD WINDOWS

Reduce Files on Desktop:

Move all the files on your Desktop to any other separate drive.Every shorcut on desktop consumes 20kb of your RAM.If there are too many shortcuts then it is definitely going to effect the performance speed of your computer.You can use shortcuts on the desktop for easy navigation (Shortcuts are less in memory). 

Using Proper Cooling System:

Make sure that your Cooling fans are working fine. Try to clean the Dust from the surface of the fans to make it work properly. Provide good ventilation for PC’s and try to maintain the room cool so that Pc can perform better.

Removing Visual Effects:

Follow the steps below to disable unwanted Visual effects

1. Go to CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM AND SECURITY > SYSTEM >ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS ( A box will pop up)

2.  Click on SETTINGS of PERFORMANCE section.

3. There check all the visual effects and remove those which are not need for your and save those settings

Deleting Internet Cache

There are many software’s available on internet to Delete internet cache but, CC Cleaner is the free software and its very effect in deleting the file temporary files.

Use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall programs:

Completely uninstall programs and applications using a program like Revo Uninstaller. It will get rid of registries left behind by normal uninstalls.

Repairing Registry Files:

There are many Good software’s available on internet to fix all your registry errors. You can pick anyone of them. I will suggest you to use TUNE UP UTILITIES as it perform better than much other software.

Using Ready Boost:

Connect a USB stick to a Windows computer – even on Windows 8 – and it will ask if you want to speed up your system using ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost was introduced in Windows Vista, where it was a heavily promoted feature.

Upgrade your Hardware:

Last but very important thing is to upgrade your hardwares.If you are still using old hardwares then its time for you to replace then to boost pc speed.

If we missed out any important tweak let us know in your comments.
