DNS Benchmark – Domain Name Speed Benchmark

http://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

GRC's DNS Benchmark performs a detailed analysis and comparison of the operational performance and reliability of any set of up to 200 DNS nameservers (sometimes also called resolvers) at once. When the Benchmark is started in its default configuration, it identifies all DNS nameservers the user's system is currently configured to use and adds them to its built-in list of publicly available “alternative” nameservers. Each DNS nameserver in the benchmark list is carefully “characterized” to determine its suitability for use as a DNS resolver. This characterization includes testing each nameserver for its “redirection” behavior: whether it returns an error for a bad domain request, or redirects a user's web browser to a commercial marketing-oriented page. While such behavior may be acceptable to some users, others may find this objectionable.

When the benchmark is run, the current performance and apparent reliability of the DNS nameservers the system is currently using is compared among themselves, and also against the current performance and apparent reliability of the benchmark's list of all additional alternative nameservers.

Results are continuously displayed and updated while the benchmark is underway, with a dynamically sorted and scaled bar chart, and a tabular chart display showing the cached, uncached and “dotcom” DNS lookup performance of each nameserver. These values are determined by carefully querying each nameserver for the IP addresses of the top 50 most popular domain names on the Internet and also by querying for nonexistent domains.

Once the benchmark finishes, the results are heuristically and statistically analyzed to present a comprehensive yet simplified and understandable English-language summary of all important findings and conclusions. Based upon these results, users may choose to change the usage order of their system's own resolvers, or, if alternative public nameservers offer superior performance compared with the nameservers currently being used, to switch to one or more alternative nameservers.

CloudDrive-free client software for Adobe Acrobat Document Service

http://www.driveoncloud.com/

CloudDrive is a free client software for Adobe Acrobat Document Service, which offers 5GB FREE online storage for each account. So, when you use CloudDrive, all your files are stored in Adobe Acrobat Document Service.
Why we need such a client software? We already have Google Docs, Microsoft SkyDrive, Acrobat Document Service and… Cann't I use them directly?

Ok, Adobe Acrobat Document Service, like most other online storage solutions, such as Google Docs, Microsoft Skydrive, only offers you to upload/download files through their websites. Thinking about uploading a large file or folder, which probably takes hours to finish, in the whole process, you cannot close the webpages or turn off your computer! There is no way to do the lengthy job silently in backgourd.

This is not too bad? Ok, Here is the really bad thing: All these services do not allow you to upload a folder! Want to upload a folder with hundreds of files/subfolders in it? Forget it! It would be a nightmare!

CloudDrive comes to rescue!  Upload/Download any files/folders with just a drag&drop! It is 100% Free!

FireFound-locate lost laptop and wipe browser info

http://www.firefound.com/

FireFound is an add-on for Firefox and Fennec (mobile Firefox) that helps your find your computer (or mobile phone, in the case of Fennec) if it is lost or stolen. Every time your computer's location changes, FireFound sends a secure message to a central server with its current location. You can then log into the server and see your computer's current location.
All of the location data is encrypted, so no one can find out where your computer is without your password.

If you lose your computer, you can tell FireFound to clear your personal data (saved passwords, browsing history, etc.) if anyone starts your browser before you can retrieve it.

You can even run your own FireFound server; all of the code is open-source.

Note: All geolocation data is approximate, and should only be used as a guideline. If your computer has been stolen, do not try to retrieve it yourself – alert the police.
