We shouldn’t be surprised that somebody is trying to sell the Queen’s former Bentley Mulsanne for a substantial markup. Vendors often try to extract a sizable premium for cars that have been owned by somebody famous, and celebrities don’t get much bigger than HRM. So if you’re in the market for a right-hand-drive Mulsanne and dig the fact that Her Maj once sat on the back seat, then you can buy this one, currently listed on the British Auto Trader website (unrelated to the U.S.–based autotrader.com), for £199,850, or $283,000 at current exchange rates. You’d be as mad as King George III to do so, of course. Although gently used to convey Queen Elizabeth to and from her various castles and palaces and with just 5000 miles recorded, this 2012 Mulsanne is, by our reckoning, nearly twice the price of a similar car in the U.K. without a royal pedigree. Alternatively it could be a canny investment, depending on how much value the market places on its royal connection—the former Cardinal Ratzinger’s Mark IV Volkswagen Golf sold for a dizzying $244,000 after he became Pope Benedict XVI. The Mulsanne itself was first registered by Bentley Motors in 2012, suggesting it was loaned to the royal household rather than sold, and it’s finished in an appropriately regal shade of Barnato Green with magnolia trim. There’s no mention of any security upgrades in the online listing suggesting that, if fitted, they have subsequently been removed, but the car does have fold-down walnut picnic tables that could well have been used for the occasional royal snack. The car was used for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations and for a visit to the Prime Minister at No.10 Downing Street. Short of Morris dancing while drinking warm beer through a mouthful of bad teeth, it doesn’t get much more British than that. The advertisement also says that the car’s satellite navigation system has been programmed to have Windsor Castle as its home location, a suitably regal touch. There’s stiff competition between British carmakers to be seen chauffeuring the Queen about, with Range Rovers often used as well as the far more elaborate Bentley State Limousine. Yet she has more modest tastes when she takes the wheel herself, having recently been photographed driving a decade-old Jaguar X-type wagon. Janis Joplin’s Custom-Painted Porsche 356 Sold for a Huge Amount of Money Stand—and Ride—in Johnny Cash’s Shadow with His 1970 Rolls-Royce As Range Rover Turns 45, the Considerably Older Queen Elizabeth Gets a New One If you’re not convinced by the royal connection but still want a British-registered Mulsanne at a substantial savings, we also found this 10,000-mile example for £120,000 on the Auto Trader site. See the original listing for the royal car here.

India is the world’s largest producer of mangoes, and, according to the National Horticulture Board, we account for around half of the world’s mango production. The number of varieties of mango we cultivate is believed to be over 500. But each summer, talk mostly revolves around the Alphonso. Now, the Alphonso has its merits, but across the country there are varieties that deserve to be savoured. We take a look at some of them.

A increasingly po[CENSORED]r technique for rootkits is to install malicious drivers that start very early in the boot process. Malware launching in this manner makes it very hard to detect or remove infections without using specialized tools and techniques. To combat this, Microsoft has added a new feature to Windows 8 called Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection. This feature allows certified antivirus programs that support early launch to load their own driver before almost all Windows boot drivers. This antivirus driver will then scan each and every boot driver that attempts to load and depending on how early launch is configured and whether the driver was detected as malware, will block it from loading. If these malware boot-start drivers are unable to load, then the rest of the malware infection does not become activated and it is much easier for your antivirus software to remove the infection. If a driver is classified as malware by Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection because it is malicious or because of a false positive, the driver may not be allowed to load. If this is a necessary driver for Windows to start properly, then we could have a problem where Windows is unable to boot up properly. To protect Windows from a situation like this, Microsoft added a method for you to disable Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection during a boot so that you can resolve your issues by either updating your virus detections or removing the problematic malware driver. Then the next time you reboot your computer, Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection will automatically start again and continue protecting your computer. This tutorial will walk you through disabling the Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection so that you can resolve any issues that may be causing Windows to not start properly. To do this please follow these steps to access the Startup Settings screen. Please type Advanced on the Windows 8 Start Screen. When the search results appear click on the Settings category as shown in the image below. Now click on the option labeled Advanced startup options and you will be brought to the General PC Settings screen. Scroll down to the bottom until you see an option labeled Advanced startup. Click on the Restart now button and Windows 8 will restart your computer and go directly into the Advanced Startup options menu. Now click on the Troubleshoot button and then the Advanced options button. You will now be at the Advanced options screen where you should click on the Startup settings option. At the Startup Settings screen, click on the Restart button. Your computer will be restarted and brought into the Startup Settings menu as shown below. Now press the number 8 on your keyboard. This will launch Windows, but with the early launch anti-malware protection disabled. You can now login to Windows and update your virus definitions or perform further scans for malicious programs that may be causing Windows to not start properly. The next time you reboot, Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection will be enabled again automatically.

Encryption can be used to secure your personal communication from prying eyes, keep your banking details secure, and plenty of other great things. However, it’s also the key to an increasingly common form of malware called ransomware. When a computer is hit by a piece of ransomware, the user’s files are encrypted, and only paying a ransom in Bitcoin will get you the key to unlock. There’s a new variant of ransomware floating around, and it takes things to the extreme. Rather than just encrypting files, the Petya malware encrypts your entire hard drive. Petya is actually very clever with the way it goes about locking up a computer. After it is installed, the system will spontaneously reboot. Instead of booting normally, the computer loads what appears to be a system CHKDSK. As one would expect, this screen makes it very clear that shutting off the PC in the middle of this operation would be a very bad idea. That’s all just a smokescreen, though. In reality, Petya is using disk-level encryption to lock the system down. The PC’s master boot record has already been compromised at this point, so shutting down won’t do any good. When the process is complete, the user gets the classic ransomware sales pitch: your files are encrypted — pay up if you ever want to see that data again. In this case, the hard drive itself (including the OS) is inaccessible until the proper decryption key is entered. A number of German businesses have been targeted by Petya already, but the amount requested is surprisingly low at just 0.9 Bitcoins (about $380). The payment must be submitted to a Tor hidden service, which then provides the necessary key. This approach to ransomware is especially devious in a few ways. With the system disabled, there’s little to no chance for the user to retrieve additional data from the drive. The PC’s original master boot record is also encrypted, so there’s no way to restore it to normal working order without the decryption key. Many pieces of ransomware have to pick and choose what to encrypt, usually going for files in the user’s personal directory. However, it’s possible the important things are elsewhere on the hard drive. That’s not a problem for Petya as it just locks down the whole disk. The good news is that Petya can’t install itself silently. Because it’s making changes to the boot environment, Windows will pop up a security warning. Users have to click through that in order for Petya to gain control of the system. People will still do that, but at least you have a chance to stop Petya before it’s too late.

Once upon a time (read: 20 years ago, when yours truly had more hair), Intel and AMD microprocessors used the same CPU socket standard and motherboard vendors supported multiple chip families with the same platform. If you owned a high-end Socket 7 motherboard, you could use an Intel Pentium, AMD K6, K6-2, K6-3 (as well as the K6-2+/K6-3+), Cyrix 6×86, 6x86MX, IDT Winchip, and the Rise Technology mP6. It was a golden, halcyon time — and MSI’s engineers have found a way to resurrect the concept with a lot of hard work and a little bit of Taiwanese magic. Introducing The One: The first motherboard platform in 19 years to give end-users the freedom they want to upgrade components as they please No invention springs into existence from nothing and sharp-eyed readers will realize we’ve seen companies iterating on plans like this for several years. AMD’s upcoming Zen CPU shares many design elements with the ARM-based K12 (we covered AMD’s work to blend the two architectures well before the company went public, though the implementation details are still unknown.) AMD’s now-canceled Project Skybridge was originally intended to create a common platform for ARM and x86 CPUs, while the Boltzmann initiative allows CUDA code to run on GCN graphics cards. Just this week, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 would ship with Linux command line support thanks to a prominent partnership with Ubuntu. The effort to create a universal computing platform goes beyond the component level. Several years ago the boutique OEM Razer debuted a customized PC system that would allow for individual component swapouts and custom liquid cooling combinations not dreamed of by gods or men. While Project Christine never formally launched, the recent Razer Core is the product of a similar effort — this time to combine the capabilities of desktop graphics cards with the svelte form factor of a modern ultrabook. Even Google’s Project Ara is an example of this profound new design concept, which gives users what they want, when they want it. So, what does The One offer? I’m glad you asked. The One is designed to be backwards compatible with a wide range of AMD and Intel CPUs. MSI is still working out the details, but trusted sources have told ExtremeTech that the company intends to offer board modules to support first-generation Core i7 CPUs (Nehalem) and AMD chips as far back as the Phenom II. By subdividing the motherboard into specific zones (shown above), MSI can offer upgrade modules to customize your motherboard rather than requiring you to select between whatever features other companies see fit to offer. DDR2 slots for an old CPU? No problem. Upgrading to a Core i7-5820K and wanting some hot DDR4 action? MSI has you covered. Planning to break overclocking records with AMD’s FX-9590, but needing a low-profile cooler around the CPU to ensure your LN2 rig can mount properly? Baby, it’s all here. There are a few platform consistencies. MSI plans to standardize on Intel’s gigabit ethernet controllers, all versions of The One will support SLI and Crossfire (up to and including four-way SLI and CrossfireX), and every version of the board will use MSI’s Nahimic Audio solution. Extensive overclocking options and titanium chokes are also standard across the board. Finally, while MSI isn’t making any public promises, we have it on good authority that the company is investigating whether or not it can make the board design forward compatible as well. Forward compatibility is extremely tricky — each module slots into a specific connection port on the board, and those connection points have to be capable of handling the exact power requirements of the CPU. Those of you who were computer enthusiasts 20 years ago will likely remember that while Socket 7 was technically compatible with a wide range of CPUs across multiple product generations and different manufacturers, practical compatibility was often limited by the motherboard’s voltage range and multiplier maps. AMD actually released a K6-2 400 with a hidden 2x/6x multiplier remap so that Socket 7 owners with systems limited to a 66MHz bus could still upgrade to a 400MHz CPU. MSI isn’t saying anything formally yet, but here’s hoping they can pull it off. If they do, The One could truly be THE ONE — the last and only motherboard you’ll ever need to own.

Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk personally unveiled his company’s latest electric vehicle, the Model 3 sedan, at an event tonight in California, where he doubled down on his company’s pledge that the new model will be affordable. How affordable? Musk insists it will start at $35,000 before any federal and local tax incentives are factored into the final purchase price; he also claims that 115,000 Model 3s were reserved globally in the previous 24 hours, at $1000 a pop. The event also provided us with our first photos of the Model 3, which is smaller than Tesla’s Model S hatchback sedan and Model X crossover, as well as early details, which we’ve listed by topic below: Range: In its most basic form (which we assume to be the version with the smallest-capacity battery pack), the Model 3 will be capable of 215 miles of range per the EPA’s testing guidelines. Musk added that the number could be even higher upon final certification. Power: No output numbers were given during the reveal—let alone confirmation of drive layout, number of electric motors, etc.—but Tesla claims the slowest Model 3 will reach 60 mph from a rest in less than six seconds. Other versions are said to be much, much quicker. Batteries: Battery particulars also remain elusive. Even so, the Model 3 will use lithium-ion battery packs produced in Tesla’s new Gigafactory. The packs can be supercharged as a standard feature. Tesla Model S P90D Review: The First Sub-Three-Second Sedan We’ve Ever Tested Latest Tesla Model Is the Smallest and Least Expensive By Far Tesla Tests, Reviews, Specs, Pricing, and More Safety: Musk promises the Model 3 will net five-star safety ratings in every category, although it wasn’t specified whether the ratings would be on the scales of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety or NHTSA or both. Also on the topic of safety, every Model 3 will be equipped with Tesla’s “Autopilot” semi-autonomous technology, as well as unspecified Autopilot-related safety features that we assume include automatic emergency braking. Basic Car-ness: The Model 3 seats five people, can fit a seven-foot surfboard inside, and has both a front trunk (“frunk”) and a conventional rear cargo area.

From Kundapur to Mangalore is about 91 km. But if you are ever in Mangalore, it makes eminent sense to stop whatever you are doing and drive down to Kundapur. That’s because, Kundapur is believed to be the place where the iconic Chicken Ghee Roast was invented. This fiery red, tangy and spicy preparation has an unmistakable flavour of clarified butter or ghee, in which the meat and the spices are roasted in. This is not a dish for the faint-hearted. I have reduced the number of chillies in this recipe to suit most palates. If you desire a more fiery dish increase the quantity of red chillies accordingly. Ingredients For Marination 1/2 kg- Chicken (cut into large pieces) ½ cup- Thick curd 1 tsp- White pepper powder 1/2 tsp- Turmeric powder 2tsp- Lime Juice Salt to taste For Roasting and Grinding (Spice Paste/ Ghee Roast Masala) 4- Kashmiri long red chillies 3- Small dried red chillies 3/4 tbsp- Coriander seeds 1/4 tsp- Fenugreek seeds 1 tsp- Cumin seeds 1tsp- Fennel seeds or saunf 3- Garlic flakes (large) Oil to fry 3 tsp- Pure Ghee Salt to taste Method *In a large bowl take marinade ingredients, mix well, then add the cleaned and slit chicken to it. Coat chicken well. Cover bowl with cling film. Keep in the fridge for 2-3 hours *In a pan heat a mixture of 2 tsp ghee and 3 tsp oil (or if you feel like indulging use 2 tbsp of ghee instead of oil) *When the oil is hot add the chicken pieces and fry for 5 mins on each side, allowing it to brown well. Then add 1 cup of water, cover and allow it to cook on a medium flame till 3/4th done *While the chicken is cooking prepare the spice paste *In a pan roast the spice paste/ masala ingredients in 1 tsp ghee in following order: sliced garlic first, then dried red chillies and coriander seeds, then add the rest. Roast together till fragrant *Grind the roasted ingredients to a smooth paste with a little water. Once the chicken is almost 3/4th cooked add the spice paste to same pan in which the chicken is cooking, to the bottom of the pan in the center *Let the spice paste fry in the oil in the bottom and centre of the pan for a couple of minutes before coating the chicken pieces in the ground and fried spice paste *Add another 1/2 cup water. Close the pan and let the chicken cook on a slow flame till done *Check for salt. Squeeze over 2 tsp lemon juice, serve hot with steamed basmati rice.

Whenever you create a new account in Windows, you should create a password reset disk that allows you to reset your Windows account password if you forget it. If you have a lot of users and do not wish to create a reset disk for each one, then you should at least create one for the administrator account on that computer. You can then use that administrator account to change any other user's password. In order to create a password reset disk you need either a floppy disk or a USB drive. As most computers are no longer sold with floppy drives, you may want to pick up a cheap flash drive to use for this purpose. As the password reset disk file only uses 2KB of space, you can use any size flash drive or an existing one if you wish. Last, but not least, a password reset disk only works on local accounts and will not help you reset passwords for accounts on a Windows domain. Warning: You should store your password reset disk in a safe location as anyone can reset your Windows password if they have access to it. Before you can create a password reset disk you must first insert a USB flash drive or a floppy disk into your computer. Once that is done, to create a password reset disk you need to open the Forgotten Password Wizard. Please use the following steps for your particular version of Windows to start this wizard: Windows XP: Click on the Start button and then open the Control Panel. When the control panel opens, double-click on the User Accounts control panel. When the User Accounts control panel opens, select a user name and then click on the Prevent a forgotten password option under the Related Tasks box. Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click on the Start button and type password reset. When the Create a password reset disk option appears in the search results, please click on it. Windows 8: From the Windows Start Screen type password reset. When the search results appear, click on the Settings category and then click on the Create a password reset disk option. Command Line: You can also start the Forgotten Password Wizard using the following command line command: "C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe" keymgr.dll,PRShowSaveWizardExW If you have not already inserted a floppy disk or a USB flash drive, you will be prompted to insert one and then start the program again. If you have a USB flash drive inserted, the Forgotten Password Wizard screen should now appear as shown in the image below. Note: The Forgotten Password Wizard will create a password reset disk for the account you are currently logged in with. If you wish to create a password reset disk for a different account, please login to that account first and then start this process. Click on the Next button and you will be presented with a screen that asks you to select the drive letter associated with the floppy or USB flash drive that you wish to use. Select the media you wish to use and then click on the Next button. You will now be at a screen that prompts you to enter the current password for the account you are logged in as. Enter the password for the account you are currently logged in with and then click on the Next button. The Forgotten Password Wizard will now create the userkey.psw file and save it on the removable media that you selected. When it is done you will be presented with a screen that states that it is 100% complete. Click on the Next button and you will be presented with the summary screen. Your password reset disk has now been completed and you can click on the Finish button to close the wizard. Please label the media as Password Reset and then save it in a safe place in the event that you need it in the [CENSORED]ure.

University of Alabama in Huntsville researchers are seeing potential in a software application that could effectively warn users when they are about to give away sensitive personal information online. Dr. Frank Zhu, a computer science associate professor, and Dr. Sandra Carpenter, a psychology professor, say the software, originally developed to adapt eye recognition equipment for use in their behavioral research involving online information disclosure, has been promising in displaying warnings in a dynamic manner that is more readily perceived and less easily dismissed by the user. Computer Science doctoral student Mini Zeng has been working on the software and the behavioral research for about 2 ½ years. "I need to know how long the user's eyes stay on the area and I need to use that input in my research," Ming says. The eye tracker detects where a user's eyes are at the computer screen and records how long they gazed at that spot. Zeng uses these two functions to find when a user's eyes remain on a request for sensitive personal information. At that moment, a warning box displays. The app tracks the amount of time the user's eyes are on the warning, and the box stays on the screen until sufficient time has passed to ensure it has been read, then when the user looks away it disappears. "That's the novelty here, is using the eye tracker as an input to warn people what not to do," says Dr. Zhu. If the user looks away from the warning, it remains active until the app detects that enough time has been spent on it to read it. The relative unpredictability of a warning that can pop up anywhere on a screen when a user is looking at a request to divulge personal information helps overcome behavioral obstacles to paying attention to standard warnings that the researchers have identified in their work. "If you get a warning every single time and it becomes annoying or habitual, you are going to ignore it," says Dr. Carpenter. For their behavioral research, Zeng created an app that mimics a restaurant reservation app asking for personal information. That app is used along with the warning software to determine the effectiveness of warnings in test subjects.

Earlier this month, we reported on Windows 10’s slow growth rate, despite Microsoft’s decision to pull out all the stops on pushing customers to upgrade to the new operating system. Three weeks ago, Microsoft pushed a “security” fix for IE11 that was actually a Windows 10 update notification in disguise (this is generally frowned upon, since mixing security updates and non-security updates increases the chance that you’ll break something new while patching something else). ComputerWorld reports that as of late last week, Windows 10 devices had broken 20% of the market for the first time. The current data shows that figure has dropped again very slightly, to roughly 19.5%, but the real-time figures may not reflect the historic The graph above is from the real-time information captured this afternoon, and it shows Windows 10 hovering around the 20% mark. That’s still an improvement for Microsoft, which has added a few percentage points of market share over the past three months. Since the Digital Analytics Program measures visits to government websites and is much more heavily used on weekends, it may also be underreporting Windows 10 usage. For now, W10 deployments are mostly focused in the home; many enterprises have continued using Windows 7 and will deploy Windows 10 later in the year. So far, most of Windows 10’s growth has come at the expense of Windows 8 / 8.1. It’s also noteworthy that government websites, which aren’t known for being cutting-edge or mobile-friendly, only report a 52% market share for the premiere corporate operating system. With that said, Windows 10 growth isn’t the sprinting power house Microsoft would like it to be. At current rates, the company will hit roughly 26% adoption by the end of the free one-year upgrade period. That’s a significant install base, but it would be far below the one billion target Microsoft set for itself. Difficult choices ahead We’ve talked before about how Microsoft may handle the end of its upgrade period this July, but that was before Universal Windows Platform applications began to debut. Now that we’ve seen how cross-platform applications between the Xbox One and PC actually behave, the verdict isn’t (currently) very good. Gamers are, in absolute terms, only a fraction of Windows 10’s install base, but they tend to be a noisy and important fraction. Converting these users into Windows Store buyers has to be a huge goal for Microsoft, since it allows the company to tap purchases that would ordinarily flow to platforms like Steam. This was the fear that drove Gabe Newell to create Steam OS, and it’s still a potential threat to the Valve empire. Today, UWP applications like Gears of War have an exceptionally poor reputation, but Steam itself was widely loathed at launch. Over time, Valve turned its initially despised platform into practically the only digital distribution point for PC titles. Microsoft could theoretically do something similar, but only if it starts offering PC gamers the kinds of choices and options they are used to. The tight sandboxing model doesn’t just preclude modding, it prevents the kinds of common INI tweaks that PC gamers have used for decades when dealing with slipshod software or poor console ports. Plenty of players who never mod their games have nevertheless needed to adjust field-of-view (FOV) settings, tweak mouse acceleration, or change image quality settings that aren’t exposed in game menus. Sometimes such changes merely make a game more convenient, other times they’re practically required to make it playable. This can crop up in unexpected places; the hard-lock on Gears of War’s INI files made it impossible for us to prove hardware PhysX wasn’t running in that game by flipping the variable on and off via INI. We were able to demonstrate that there was no PhysX-related issue through alternate approaches, but in other situations those options may not be available. As ComputerWorld points out, whether or not Microsoft continues its free upgrade policy past July 29 will have trickle-down effects on device sales and overall W10 uptake, yes — but whether or not the company changes its UWP and privacy policies to allow users to change some of these settings could have an impact, too. If Microsoft is truly serious about pushing its adoption rate towards that one billion threshold, it may need to take actions that hold-out groups want to see. If it doesn’t, it risks creating the same situation on Windows 7 that bedeviled it with Windows XP — a large chunk of users who simply won’t update, and drag down the movement of the overall Windows ecosystem as a res

Eating a diet rich in vitamin C may slow the progression of cataract — a condition that may lead to blindness, reveals a study, adding that environmental factors and diet also influence cataract more than genetic factors. The findings showed that those participants who had a higher intake of vitamin C were associated with a 33 per cent risk reduction of cataract progression and had “clearer” lenses 10 years after the study than those who had consumed less vitamin C as part of their diet. “The findings of this study could have significant impact, particularly for the ageing po[CENSORED]tion globally, by suggesting that simple dietary changes such as increased intake of fruit and vegetables as part of a healthier diet could help protect them from cataracts,” said lead study author Chris Hammond from the Kings College London. “While we cannot avoid getting older, diabetes and smoking are also risk factors for this type of cataract, and so a healthy balanced diet and lifestyle generally should reduce the risk of needing a cataract operation,” Hammond added. Cataract is a common condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy as a result of oxidation over time. The study, published in the journal Ophthalmology, looked at the progression of cataracts in the eyes of 324 pairs of female twins over 10 years by examining photographs of the participant’s lenses that allowed them to analyse the level of opacity of the lens in detail. Participant intake of vitamin C was also measured using a food questionnaire. The study found that environmental factors — including diet — influenced cataract more than genetic factors, which only explained a third of the change in lens opacity. It is thought that increased intake of vitamin C has a protective effect on cataract progression by increasing the vitamin C available in the eye fluid. “The human body cannot manufacture vitamin C, so we depend on vitamins in the food we eat. We did not find a significantly reduced risk in people who took vitamin tablets, so it seems that a healthy diet is better than supplements,” added study’s first author Kate Yonova-Doing.
