How to make your windows machine a virtual router (Hotspot) with command prompt in windows.

    One thing you should keep in mind is, we are not installing any software! We are using the windows command prompt which is integrated in every windows machine.
Step one

Open windows Command prompt with administrative privilege. That is by right clicking on the command prompt icon and clicking “run as Administrator”. 

Step two

Enter the following lines of command! Not exactly because you have to change the SSID(service set identifier) and password to suit your taste.

Setting the SSID
  • Netsh wlan set hostednetwork ssid=ICTmagazine
    NB: I choose to use ICTmagazine as my SSID(network name or identifier) you have choice to use any reasonable String characters(Number and Alphabets). Press “enter” you will have a success message “The SSID of the hosted network has been changed successfully”.
Setting the password
  • Netsh wlan set hostednetwork key=12345678
    NB: You can use any password ranging from 8 to reasonable length. Press “enter” you will have another success message “The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been changed successfully”.
Allowing the network to work
  • Netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow Press “enter” you will have another success message “ hosted network mode has been set to allow”.
Starting the Virtual hotspot
  • Netsh wlan start hostednetwork Press “enter” you will have another success message “The hosted network started ”.
Terminating/Stopping
  • netsh wlan stop hostednetwork Press “enter” you will have another success message “The hosted network stopped”

    Your screen will look exactly like mine, but mind you without the ICTmagazine stuffs "laffs"

Powerful words from Steve Jobs on his sick bed

Powerful message. Steve Jobs’ Last Words - I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death. In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer… Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth… Should be something that is more important: Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days ... Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just l...

Something is wrong in Cupertino. A number of developers today turned to Twitter to complain that iTunes Connect, a hub for iOS and Mac software makers, was logging them into the wrong accounts.  The service appears to be matching log-ins with the wrong accounts, showing apps and usernames from completely different people. When developers try to access one of the apps, they receive an error message leading them back to their own account. iTunes Connect has since been taken offline as Apple’s engineers presumably set off to fix the problem. We’ve contacted Apple and will update if we hear back. Culled from:  The Next Web
