****This tutorial will show you how to put files into .rar Archive and pass worded (if wanted)****
What You Will Need
Before continuing you will need a couple of thing, first of all you need WINRAR, which is a very powerful archive manager. It can reduce size for you email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other types of files downloaded from the internet.
You can get winrar at http://www.rarlabs.com/
The other thing is that make sure your using Windows XP because this is what I used to make this tutorial. I think it works with any other windows not sure though. IF your using older version of windows u might find some buttons in different locations.
~~How to archive your files into winrar~~
1) Find the files you will like to compress/archive make sure they are all in the same folder (easier)
Once you open the folder, highlight the files you which to archive/compress
Your screen should look like this
2) After doing that right click any file and select Add to Archive
Your screen should look like this
3) After doing that you will get something like this
Where it says game1.rar thats the name of the archive that your are creating (name it as you wish)
4) You are Done after doing that you will get your archive
The archive will be located in the same folder you did all of the steps
Your screen should look like this
~~How to add a pass word to your archive~~ (optional)
This is just if you dont want anyone else to see what you have in your archive.
After doing step #2
Now to add the pass click the Advance tab located on the top of the pop up box and you will get something like this:
Once you get that, click Set Password and a new box will appear
Type Your pass word and retype it just to make sure you did it right and click OK and ok again. And after that you will get the same picture like step #4 but it will be password procted.
There you go you have succefully created a Winrar archive

Logitech News
Logitech has announced three new wireless products built around the proprietary Logitech Music Anywhere technology, which streams music from a PC or portable music player to a home stereo. The Music Anywhere system uses adaptive frequency hopping to avoid interfering with existing wireless services, and, since it doesn't use 802.11 frequencies, can't be used for other home-networking purposes.
The first product, the Logitech Wireless Music System for PC, streams music from users' computers to connected home entertainment systems within a range of about 300 feet. The three-piece system includes a wireless transmitter that connects to a PC via USB, a wireless receiver that connects to a home stereo receiver via RCA or 3.5 mm jack, and an infrared remote control.
The remote is used to control the PC's music playback, and can also be used from another room. Logitech says the remote control is compatible with iTunes, WinAmp, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, and MusicMatch.
The Logitech Wireless Music System for PC will be available in September for $149.99 .
Logitech's Wireless Music System for iPod does the same thing as the PC system, but connects to any portable music player through the headphone port and has a range of about 30 feet. The Wireless Music System for iPod will be available in October for $149.99 .
Lastly, Logitech has also built the proprietary wireless technology into the new Wireless Headphones for PC. The headphones have the same wireless receiver built in, and connect to the PC via USB with a claimed range of 165 feet. The headphones will be available in October for $129.99 .

Nintendo Readies Game Boy Micro
By Jay Wrolstad
August 19, 2005 11:50AM
While Nintendo has enjoyed a virtual monopoly in portable gaming, with some 90 to 95 percent of the market, the company has rival Sony hot on its heels. Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP) went on sale this spring and rang up some $150 million in sales in the first week it was on the shelves.

Our solution unifies pure-play BPM with a sophisticated Business Rules Engine. Pegasystems makes it easy for people and systems to work together. Click here to learn more.
Entertainment specialist Nintendo has gone back to the Game Boy drawing board yet again, this time introducing a scaled-down version of the device and touting the new Micro edition as a more stylish offering than earlier Game Boys.
Game Boy Micro, priced at US$100, measures just 4 x 2 x 0.7 inches and weighs a mere 2.8 ounces, about the weight of 80 paper clips. Performance has not been compromised, though, as the device has the same power and plays the same titles as earlier Game Boy Advance models.
The new device also features a 2-inch screen and buttons that glow. Players can expect delivery of the Micro in September.
Sony Issues Challenge
While Nintendo has enjoyed a virtual monopoly in portable gaming, with some 90 to 95 percent of the market, the company has rival Sony hot on its heels. Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP) went on sale this spring and rang up some $150 million in sales in the first week it was on the shelves.
And, unlike Nintendo, which continues to deliver gaming-only portable products, the PSP has Wi-Fi , music and video capabilities.
Yankee Group analyst Michael Goodman questions the rationale behind introducing a smaller version of an existing device. "This is not much different than what they offer with the Nintendo DS. I can't see where the demand is," he said.
Too Small?
Goodman suggested that smaller might not be better when it comes to gaming platforms. "There is a minimum optimum size, and I think they have passed that threshold with the Micro," he said.
The analyst also noted that Sony, with its PSP, has staked out a different audience than the kids who comprise Nintendo's primary following. "Sony is aiming more toward adult gamers in their multifunctional devices and in the games that they offer," he said, comparing the PSP approach to the tack the company took with its original PlayStation console.
"Nintendo may be way ahead at this point, but the balance could shift in the next year or two, given how well the PSP is doing," he said.

Microsoft's Halo to Become Movie
It's been a successful video game, and thanks to two deals signed Wednesday it could become a successful motion picture. A spokesman for Universal Pictures said that its studio, along with Twentieth Century Fox, had struck a deal with Microsoft to produce a movie based on the "Halo" and "Halo 2" video games.
The studios will pay Microsoft $5 million plus 10 percent of domestic ticket sales. According to reports, this number is lower than Microsoft wanted - the company had initially asked for $15 million and 15 percent of ticket sales. The studios hope to have the film released in the summer of 2007.

Military laser brings 'Star Wars' reality closer
A U.S. Pentagon invention could make air combat resemble a battle scene from the movie 'Star Wars' with a laser so small it can fit on a fighter jet, yet powerful enough to knock down an enemy missile in flight.
The High Energy Laser Area Defense System (HELLADS), being designed by the Pentagon's central research and development agency, will weigh just 750 kg (1,650 lb) and measures the size of a large fridge.
To date, such lasers have been so bulky because of the need for huge cooling systems to stop them overheating, that they had to be fitted to large aircraft such as jumbo jets, New Scientist magazine reported on Wednesday.
But the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency reckons it has solved the problem by merging liquid and solid state lasers to cut the size and weight by "an order of magnitude", according to its Web site.
Liquid lasers can fire a continuous beam but need large cooling systems, while solid state laser beams are more intense but have to be fired in pulses to stop them overheating.
"We've combined the high energy density of the solid state laser with the thermal management of the liquid laser," New Scientist quoted project manager Don Woodbury as saying.
Dubbed the "HEL weapon" by its developers, a prototype capable of firing a mild one kilowatt (kW) beam has already been produced and there are plans to build a stronger 15-kW version by the end of the year.
If everything goes according to plan, an even more powerful weapon producing a 150-kW beam and capable of knocking down a missile will be ready by 2007 for fitting onto aircraft.

The publisher of adult website and magazine Perfect 10 has asked a Los Angeles court to prohibit Google from copying and displaying Perfect 10s copyrighted images in the search results of its image search tool.
Perfect 10 sued Google in November of 2004. It says that Google is displaying hundreds of thousands of adult images, "from the most tame to the most exceedingly explicit, to draw massive traffic to its website, which it is converting into hundreds of millions of dollars of advertising revenue."
Perfect 10 claims that under the guise of being a search engine, Google is displaying, free of charge, thousands of copies of the best images from Perfect 10, Playboy, nude scenes from major movies, nude images of supermodels, as well as extremely explicit images of all kinds.
The publisher contends that it has sent 35 notices of infringement to Google covering over 6,500 infringing URLs, but that Google continues to display over 3,000 Perfect 10 copyrighted images without authorization.
According to Dr. Norm Zada, the founder of Perfect 10 Magazine and a former Stanford, UCLA, and Columbia University professor and IBM Computer Science Research Staff Member, who began publishing Perfect 10 Magazine in 1997, most of the traffic to search engines is sex-related.
"Overture's Key Selector Tool indicates that most searches on the internet are sex-related," says Zada. "Google's extraordinary gain in market cap from nothing a few years ago to close to eighty billion dollars, is more due to their massive misappropriation of intellectual property than anything else," says Zada.
According to Perfect 10, Google will likely argue that because it provides a "search function," it should be excused from liability for copyright infringement. From Perfect 10's standpoint, Google isn't directing people where to find Perfect 10 images that would be Perfect 10 Magazine and perfect10.com rather, it is displaying Perfect 10 images and allowing users to download Perfect 10 images itself. To the extent that Google does direct users searching for Perfect 10 pictures anywhere, "it is virtually always to a website which misappropriated those images, not to perfect10.com."
Zada continued: "Google is currently displaying over 3,000 Perfect 10 copyrighted images and linking them to websites containing numerous other Perfect 10 copyrighted images and in many cases ads for which Google earns revenue."
"Google is no longer a legitimate search engine," he said. "It is a commercial advertising operation determined to increase ad revenue regardless of what rights it tramples on in the process."
"In some cases, as many as 96% of Google search results on Perfect 10 model names go not to Perfect10.com, but to infringing Google AdSense partners of which Google has received notice," says Zada. "That's not legitimate search."
Any website publisher can sign up for Google AdSense. It's an easy way for publishers to display Google ads those being paid for by its AdWords customers on their content pages. AdWords customers pay Google and Google pays a commission to AdSense publishers. So Google can maximise its revenues by maximising the traffic that it sends to AdSense affiliates. Perfect 10 does not suggest that Google is weighting its search results in favour of AdSense-supported sites; but it does argue that Google profits directly from the popularity of porn, and its particular concern is that it profits from Perfect 10's porn that has been stolen by others.
Zada believes that the outcome of Perfect 10's motion for preliminary injunction should have a major impact not only on Perfect 10, but also on traditional media outlets which are losing the ad revenue war to search engines, in part because of all the nude and semi-nude images search engines offer for free.
Right now, he says, consumers who want to view a nude scene involving Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, or other Hollywood beauties, can view that scene for free by visiting a search engine without purchasing the DVD. "If all an infringer needs to avoid liability is to provide some sort of a 'search function,' that will be the end of intellectual property in this country," says Zada.Notice from cmatcmextra:Copied from http://www.out-law.com/page-6055 Use quote tags when copying.

File-sharers have moved away from the popular BitTorrent system following legal action, say experts.
Instead they have moved to another network called eDonkey, showed a study by internet analysis firm CacheLogic.
It found that eDonkey has become the dominant peer-to-peer file-sharing network in countries such as South Korea, Italy, Germany and Spain.
The study seems to suggest that the legal action to stamp out file-sharing is meeting with limited success.
BitTorrent alternatives
The movie industry started targeting the operators of BitTorrent networks themselves last December.
It has filed numerous lawsuits against BitTorrent server sites which linked to copyrighted material in order to undermine the ability to swap content.
History is repeating itself. File-sharers moved from Kazaa to BitTorrent and now to eDonkey
Andrew Parker, CacheLogic
The action resulted in the closure of some high-profile BitTorrent sites but appears to have had mixed success in stopping the widespread trading of films, TV shows and music.
While the use of BitTorrent has fallen, file sharers have moved to an alternative network called eDonkey.
This is a decentralised file-sharing network, where files are not stored on a central server but are exchanged directly between users based on the peer-to-peer principle.
In countries such as the UK, Japan and China, eDonkey was as widely used as BitTorrent, found CacheLogic.
In others like South Korea, it has become the most popular way of swapping content.
Cat and mouse game
"History is repeating itself," said Andrew Parker, CacheLogic's chief technology officer. "File-sharers moved from Kazaa to BitTorrent and now to eDonkey."
Screengrab from LokiTorrent website
Some high-profile BitTorrent tracker sites have been closed down
"It's proof that legal pressure from industry groups results in the mass migration of file sharers to an alternative network, whether old or new.
In the US and Canada, there has been a surprising resurgence of the Gnutella file-sharing network.
It was one of the first P2P services to be targeted by the record industry but has since faded into the background.
"People are migrating to Gnutella as the attention of the record and movie industry is elsewhere," said Mr Parker.
"The conduit is irrelevant. People are after content. This cat and mouse game will continue."
According to CacheLogic, 60% of the traffic on the internet by the end of 2004 was made up of peer-to-peer activity, though it does not have a breakdown of how much of this is copyrighted material.
