Install Any Version of Windows 7 with Universal ISO

Those of you who own an official copy of Windows 7 from MSDN or TechNet may have faced a scenario where you wanted to install a different edition of Windows, only to find out that you will have to download a separate ISO file just to install your desired edition. Windows Vista had one ISO file installer for all the different edition of Windows. But with Windows 7, Microsoft changed this approach and started offering separate ISO files for each edition (Starter, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate) of Windows. This creates an unnecessary strain on bandwidth when downloading, wastes space when archiving, and wastes time in general.

Protect iPhone 3GS Against ikee Virus Attack

M Asad·November 8, 2009

In continuation from our last post, here is yet another development which took place in the last few days when some jailbroken iPhone users found their home screen background a little different than it was last seen by them. If your jailbroken iPhone has changed its background automatically to that of Rick Astley (some 80's singer) with the words "ikee is never going to give you up", then you are most likely a victim of ikee virus which infects iPhone’s via SSH. The virus in question has originated from Australia by a hacker named Ikee and it is now quickly spreading to other parts of the world. If you have been affected, luckily there is no harm done as this virus was more of an experiment than anything else.
