If you are some daily user of Internet who likes to visit different websites then you must have come across some websites where you have seen an error message like this “500 Internal Error”. This is a general error message that can be seen on any website and on any browser or the Operating System. Since each website uses their own customizations, this error might be termed as HTTP 500 Internal Error on some.
What is the cause of 500 Internal Server Error?
The error code is very general and is used to indicate that something wrong had gone with the website or the website’s server where it is hosted. So this error message simply means there is some error with the website and nothing wrong with your own system.

Microsoft to release 7-inch Xbox Gaming Tablet


It has been a world of tablets and phones recently. After the launch of iPad Mini, the tablet lovers are here to witness the launch of Microsoft’s gaming tablet called as Xbox Surface. It was believed that Microsoft is already working on to the development of this product; we should expect to see the product soon.
Xbox which is the gaming console from Microsoft is already doing well in the gaming console market however it was missing behind in the handheld gaming category. While other companies have their products already launched like Sony Playstation Vita or Nintendo GameBoy and tablets like iPad, Microsoft too wanted to enter this category of gaming.

The specifications that we should expect in the product had already leaked in the market and were already disclosed back in June this year. The Xbox Surface is expected to have a 7 inch screen size, custom ARM processor and high RAM. The detailed specifications are listed below in the image (via).

Microsoft Xbox Surface is currently under development at Microsoft’s offices in Silicon Valley under good secrecy. Microsoft had decided to keep the product under full secrecy until it is completely developed for the launch.
Don’t know how much the product is going to help Microsoft but at least it is sure to provide some options to the users. They can decide what device to go for, for the handheld gaming consoles. [via]

Use Battery Optimizer to Improve Battery Life of your Laptop


While purchasing a laptop, the first thing that comes to our mind is the battery life of the machine. This is an important factor because we usually buy a laptop to work while we are travelling and it is very important to know whether it will work for a long period of time when we don’t have a power source nearby.
While reading some posts I found that various organizations are commenting on the emerging trend of slim notebooks. In their view if these notebooks get slimmer then it will definitely affect the battery life. Thus if you need to get most out of your laptop, you should use this tool known as Battery Optimizer.

This application is specially designed to optimize the battery level of your laptop. After installing this app you should run a diagnostic of your laptop’s battery on first start that will analyze the capabilities and optimization options. You can also use the scanning mode but you should be sure that your laptop does have sufficient battery as the comprehensive scanning mode takes up to an hour to complete and you have to unplug your charger to run the comprehensive scanning mode.
After scanning it will let you know that how much battery life you will gain after running the program’s optimizer. The application won’t reveal the kind of optimizations that it will do on the laptop before you click on the optimize button which can be an issue. However if you have optimized your laptop already for mobile use, then you will not be able to gain that much battery life.
This application is handy for all laptop users. This will help you to make changes automatically, which is a hectic task to do otherwise. Battery Optimizer can be downloaded from the link given below; you can use it to manage your battery power easily.

Make your Mouse to Click Automatically with Mouse Auto Clicker


If you are some person who is required to click many links in a day then I can imagine how boring or painful it can be, doing the same thing again and again and over the day. One of our readers was also bored up clicking more than 1000 links in a day and as he is required to do the same thing daily, a Mouse Auto Clicker is what he needs.
Mouse Auto Clicker is a program that makes the mouse clicks automatically for you and after the regular time intervals set by you in the tool. Moreover you can also decide how many times the mouse should click and after how much duration. I came across two such tools that can automate this task for you, as listed below.
1. Auto Clicker by MurGee
The tool is very simple to use as you just need to download and run this program. Before using the tool, you should set up the configurations so that you can set the program as per your needs. You can configure delay or interval between mouse clicks, can define the number of mouse clicks to be automated, a keyboard Shortcut Key to Start / Stop Mouse Clicking automatically.

So whenever you press the hotkey, the mouse will start clicking automatically thereby giving your finger some rest. You can also set which button (of the mouse) to click automatically. However the program is a shareware and can run free 20 times.
2. GS Auto Clicker (or AutoClick)


This is the same kind of Mouse Auto Clicker as mentioned above which works in the similar way with the advantage that it come free and does not expire. Just download the tool and set the options so that you can use it better and as per your needs.
Both these Mouse Auto Clickers will help you with your work where you are required to click mouse many times or with your gaming and other things. The tools automate the process of clicking the mouse so that your fingers can relax.

Find, Recover and Protect your Stolen Laptop with LockItTight


Laptops these days are so expensive that one can only wish to buy that lavish laptops and what if you have one? Well you need to protect it from various troubles. I have a good configuration laptop which I bought few months ago and it has my personal data too which I can’t afford to miss. What if somebody steals it? Laptop thefts are on a high these days and thus you got to be more alert to protect it.
But practically you can’t always be with your laptop all the time and this is when someone will try to steal it. Had there been a way by which the laptop can let us know its position on its “own”, recovering it would have been easy but in reality it is not the case. Thus you need to protect it with some app that can at least tell you the location and the activities performed on it when it has been stolen.
There are lots of tools and services available that can perform this for you like one of the famous services called as LoJack. I, personally have LoJack installed in my machine as it came free for an year with the purchase but what after the year? LoJack comes with a price which everyone might not be able afford.

Here is another great and yet free service called as LockItTight. Just like other services, LockItTight also runs in the background and stays dormant unless activated remotely with your online account. There are lots of options that this tool can do for you, if your laptop is stolen:
lock-it-tight-features
Screen Captures: You can take screen shots remotely
Webcam shots: Yes you can actually bust the thief by taking shots from the webcam.
Key Logger: Keep track of the keys pressed on the laptop and save the reports
Location Tracking: You can also find the physical location of the laptop, once connected to the internet.
File Management: Recover your files remotely
Website Blocking: Block any website remotely
There are many more other things that this tool is capable of performing. LockItTight comes in few pricing options too if you wish to upgrade from some of the restrictions provided in the free account.
The tool is great to have in the computer as without something like this it would be close to impossible to determine the location of the stolen laptop.

Get Android Notifications on your Computer Screen


For all those people who find it very hard to stay away from their phone even for a minute, this post will be really helpful. How many times does it happen to you that you forget your phone at home? Well that’s very common with everyone and we tend to miss our phone somewhere and feel that if we are missing on some important calls and notifications.
Here is a solution to this, with the Android app called as Desktop Notifications you can now display the notifications right on your computer screen. That’s right; you won’t need to check your phone again and again as you will get the android notifications right on your computer desktop screen. Be it the missed call notification, text, email or anything, if your phone has got it then your computer has got it too.

How Desktop Notification works:
• You first need to install this app from the app store (links provided at the bottom) and install the browser extensions too in your computer. Chrome users click here and Firefox users click here.
• Now you need to enable the app in your phone from the Accessibility button in the Settings. It will generate a code that you need to enter in your computer browser to pair both of them.

• Click on the browser extension installed, and enter the code to pair them.
browser-pairing-with-app
• That’s it. Now whenever your phone will receive any notification you don’t need to check it again and again for it, as you can see it right in front of you while working in office.
It is interesting to note here that the notifications on your desktop will not result in any action as they are just notifications which means you won’t be able to reply to any notification from your computer and you need your phone for that purpose.

I would also suggest you to configure the app in your phone before using so that it works as per your needs like display either only the title or the title with the message contents.
