Get Your GTBank Acc Balance via SMS

Now you can check your Bank Account Balance on the Go! with the GTBank SMS Balance Feature. Every GTBank account holder can now check their Account Balance using their mobile phone, even if it’s not connected to the internet.

With this function, you don’t need to access your Internet Banking account or visit any GTBank branch before you can view your bank account balance. All you have to do is type some line of code and send to a particular number and you will receive your account balance via SMS instantly.


How to Check Your GTB Account Balance Using Mobile Phone

1. Compose a text message with this format:

Bal (space) NUBAN Number

2. Then send it to this number: 08076665555 and wait for the reply.

For Example, 0054983476, I will type:

Bal 0054983476 and then send to 08076665555

After sending, your account balance will be sent to your phone almost immediately.

NOTE 1: NUBAN Number is the new account number given to you by your bank. It is 10 digits compare to the previous traditional account number.

NOTE 2: Your network provider may charge you for sending text messages. However, I’ve noticed that the charge is N5 across all networks.

NOTE 3: You can only use the phone number that is registered in your GTB account to send the message. If you send the message using another phone number, you won’t get your account balance. I believe this is a good step, as it stop others from checking other people’s bank account balance without their permission.

So when next you wanted to check your GTBank account balance, you do not need to go to the bank, or ATM machine. All you have to do is just sit where you are and send a simple text message. GTBank will then reply you with your account balance instantly.

Run Windows on your Mac with VMware Fusion.


With VMware FusionTM, you can run personal computer (PC) applications and devices on your Intel-based Mac. Designed for the Mac user, VMware Fusion takes advantage of the security, flexibility, and portability of virtual machines to run Windows and other x86 operating systems at the same time as Mac OS X. 


 
Definition of a Virtual Machine
A virtual machine is a software file that behaves just as a physical computer does. A virtual machine contains a display, a hard disk, one or more processors, memory, and all the other hardware that goes into a typical physical machine, but all of the components are virtualized. That is, these elements of a virtual machine are all created by software and stored in files on your Mac.
The virtual machine runs in a window on your Mac. You install an operating system and applications in the virtual machine and operate it as you would a physical computer.
The Mac that you run a virtual machine on is called a host. In this context, the virtual machine is called a guest. 

 
What You Can Do with VMware Fusion
With VMware Fusion, Mac users can:
Run Windows and Linux applications on a Mac. You can run your favorite applications at the same time as Mac applications using virtual machines running Windows and Linux operating systems, without rebooting your Mac.
Createvirtualmachines.TheNewVirtualMachineAssistantguides you through the process of creating a virtual machine, including Windows Easy Install and Linux Easy Install.
 
Migrate your Windows PC to a virtual machine easily.The integratedMigration Assistant helps you convert your physical PC to a virtual machine to run on your Mac.
Import virtual machines. You can import virtual machines createdwith Parallels Desktop or Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac directly to VMware Fusion.
Graduate from Boot Camp. VMware Fusion can use an existing BootCamp partition, or, you can import your Boot Camp partition into a virtual disk, letting you reclaim your Boot Camp space. VMware Fusion eliminates the need to reboot to access your Windows applications and files.
Keep your Windows safe.You can take multiple snapshots pictures in time of your virtual machines, keeping them safe in case of any problem. VMware Fusion AutoProtect takes automatic, periodic snapshots to keep your virtual machines safe from unexpected harm. VMware Fusion includes a 12-month complimentary subscription to McAfee VirusScan Plus.
Get the most out of your Mac. Run 64-bit virtual machines, including server operating systems like Windows Server, Linux Server, Mac OS X Server, and Mac OS X Lion in virtual machines. Many modern Mac systems are powerful enough to provide great performance and productivity, even when running multiple virtual machines.
Run multiple operating systems while protecting the integrity of your Mac. You can safely run virtual machines isolated from the Mac by using the hardware-level security and fault isolation of virtualization solutions.
System Requirements for VMware Fusion
Verify that you have the following minimum system requirements for installing and using VMware Fusion.
AnyMacwitha64-bitIntelprocessor(IntelCore2Duoornewer). MacOSX10.6.7orlater,MacOSX10.7recommended.

  2GB of memory, 4GB recommended.  
  750MB of free disk space for VMware Fusion, and atleast 5GB of freedisk space for each virtual machine.  
 
NOTE Make sure that you have enough memory to run Mac OS X, plus the memory required for each guest operating system and for applications on the Mac and in the virtual machine. 
 
Install VMware Fusion
Install VMware Fusion by dragging the VMware Fusion disk image to your Mac Applications folder.

NOTE Verify that you have the administrator password for your Mac.
To install VMware Fusion
1  Obtain the VMware Fusion disk image using one of the following methods: 
  Download the VMware Fusion disk image from the VMware Fusion Web site. The VMware Fusion disk image is saved to your default download directory. Double-click the VMware Fusion .dmg file to mount it.
  Insert the VMware Fusion USB install drive. 
  Insert the VMware Fusion DVD.  
 
2  Drag the VMware Fusion icon onto the Applications folder icon. VMware Fusion installs. Installation of VMware Fusion does not modify existing virtual machines. 
 
 
Upgrade VMware Fusion

If you are upgrading VMware Fusion, you must uninstall the version that is installed on your Mac. Installing, upgrading, and uninstalling of VMware Fusion does not modify existing virtual machines.
NOTE Verify that all of your virtual machines are shutdown and that VMware Fusion is not running.

To upgrade VMware Fusion
1  Drag the previous version of VMware Fusion to the trash. VMware Fusion is located in the Applications folder on your Mac.  
2  Obtain the VMware Fusion disk image using one of the following methods:

Running Windows on Mac.


 There's no need to be embarrassed -- there are lots of reasons to run Windows software on a Mac. You may need to run a Windows application or a game that isn't available on a Mac, or you may need access to a scanner or other peripheral that doesn't have drivers for the Mac. Or maybe you've sunk thousands of Naira to Windows software that you want to run on your Mac. Or maybe you prefer Windows and want to run it on Apple's sleek Mac hardware all the time.
Fortunately, there are different solutions that satisfy different types of needs. These fall into three categories, each with different strong points. This post will help you determine which is the best for you.

  1. Dual booting:  Every Mac comes with software called Boot Camp that lets you install Windows and enable it to start up the Mac. You can choose to boot either from Windows or OS X, but you don't have access to both at the same time. Boot Camp is the fastest way to run Windows.
  2. Running Windows in a virtual machine: With this approach, you boot the Mac with OS X and run Windows in a virtualization application. Unlike Boot Camp, virual machines let you switch between the Mac OS X and Windows environments without rebooting. Virtual machine software also supports more versions of Windows than does Boot Camp. The disadvantage to virtualization is that it takes more RAM memory and CPU utilization, leaving fewer of your Mac's resources for other applications. Most tools let you move files between the two operating systems and sharing peripherals and networking. The main products for doing this are Parallel DesktopParallels Desktop and VMware Fussion.  
  3.  Running Windows apps on Mac Os X directly--without Windows:  Cross Over from code weavers  runs Windows applications directly in Mac OS X, without using Windows. Because you don't need to own a copy of Windows, Cross Over is the least expensive way to run Windows programs on a Mac. It's also fast. The trade off is that it doesn't run every Windows application.
This report provides a comparison of all of the options for running Windows on Intel Macs. The next section describes dual booting with boot camp, followed by the choices of virtual machine. After that is a description of crossover for running Windows software without Windows.


Booting into Windows: the dual-boot Mac and Boot Camp

Although Macs and Windows PCs both are powered by Intel processors, you can't just stick a Windows installation disc into a Mac and expect it to install. Apple's Boot Camp gives Windows what it needs to start up a Mac. Boot Camp will also create a separate partition on your hard disk for Windows.
You can boot the Mac into Windows by holding the Option key down while restarting. You then select the Windows Partition or the Mac partition, which appear as hard drive icons. The Mac will boot from OS X or from Windows, depending on which one you choose. Unlike the virtualization products, Boot Camp does not give you access to OS X and Windows at the same time. You have to reboot back into Mac OS X to get access to your Mac software.
Choose to boot in Windows or OS X when you hold the Option key during start up


You install Boot Camp and your copy of Windows with Boot Camp Assistant, located in the Applications>Utilities folder in Mac OS X. Directions are included once you launch the Assistant, where you can print them if you like. The Boot Camp Assistant "dynamically creates" the Windows partition for Windows, so it won't erase your Mac data. The Assistant then guides you through installing Windows, and downloading installing drivers in Windows to support the Mac keyboard and other hardware and peripherals from within Windows. Boot Camp does not provide Windows; you'll need to supply your own copy.
Apple has said that Boot Camp runs Windows "completely natively," which makes it faster than virtualization software for hardware-intensive tasks. Windows with Boot Camp also uses less of the Mac's processor and memory than with virualization because it is only running one operating system at a time. (This can also be said of cross over) Boot Camp tends to be more compatible with gaming software than virtualization software.
Lion and Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and earlier came with the current version, Boot Camp 4, which supports only Windows 7. Earlier versions of Boot Camp also support Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Vista. Boot Camp 4 does not support Windows 8, but you can install Windows 8 and have it will run relatively well, though the Windows drivers for graphics are outdated. Apple added support of Windows 8 with boot camp 5 in the OS X 10.8.3 update. Windows 8 is only supported on more recent Mac models.

BEWARNED! Smartphone PIN Can Be Hacked Through Camera & Mic


The PIN for a smartphone can be revealed by its camera and microphone using a programme called PIN Skimmer. A team from the University of Cambridge discovered that codes entered on a number-only soft keypad could be identified through this means.

The software watches your face via the camera and listens to clicks through the microphone as you type.

According to the research, the microphone is used to detect "touch-events" as a user enters their PIN. In effect, it can "hear" the clicks that the phone makes as a user presses the virtual number keys.
The camera then estimates the orientation of the phone as the user is doing this and "correlates it to the position of the digit tapped by the user".
How successful is PIN Skimmer? In a test set of 50 4-digit PINs, the app (which has a server-side component for image-processing, so as to avoid suspiciously running down the battery) correctly guessed more than 30 percent of PINs after a couple of attempts, and over half after 5 attempts. Obviously longer PINs help, but even with 8-digit codes, PIN Skimmer still worked out around 45 percent after 5 attempts.
