iPhone Projector

There are quite a few projectors available for the iPhone, but most of them are quite expensive. So Instructables member Iamalegend has created a DIY iPhone Projector using a shoebox, duct tape, a marker, a few of Lego bricks and a magnifying glass.

Iamalegend writes:

This is a fun easy project that anyone can make in about 15-20 minutes. The whole project only cost me a dollar and works good enough that I can enjoy an entire movie on it. The way it works is the light from your phone or iPod goes through the magnifying glass and magnifies onto the wall. The whole project is very easy to make and easy to understand.

All you need to do is place the magnifying glass on one side of box and your iPhone or iPod touch aligned in front of the magnifying glass on the other side of the box. You may need to prop it up using lego parts as mentioned by Iamalegend or something like a play-doh.

It looks like Iamalegend wasn't the first person to create a DIY iPhone projector as we found this YouTube video created back in July by Dylan who calls himself the Household Hacker, which shows how to make your own DIY iPhone projector.

Use Your Smartphone to Remotely Send Downloads to Your Desktop PC

If you want to download a file to your computer that's hosted somewhere on the web, this is the method you want to use. All you need is an account with Dropbox (our favorite file-syncing tool) and a web browser on your smartphone. To download that file to your home computer from the comfort of your phone, just follow these steps (or watch the video to the left):

1. Grab the URL of the file you want to download on your smartphone.
2. Open any web browser on your smartphone and head over to urldroplet.com.
3. Enter the URL in URL Droplet's only text field and click the "Log In" button.
4. Log into your Dropbox account and grant access to URL Droplet.
5. When you're back on the main URL Droplet page, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and see if the file is listed as queued. If not, just add it again via URL Droplet's only text field and click the "Save" button.
6. It'll take a few minutes for the file to show up in your Dropbox, but when it does it'll be in the root folder and you can use it when you get back to any computer that's syncing your Dropbox folder.

Pretty easy! If you want to see a walkthrough, watch the video above.

Alternatively, if you want to do this with a native iPhone app, download Drop It ($1). For another option, your could set If This Then That to add, for example, emailed file URLs to your Dropbox (learn how to use it with our guide).

Remotely Download Torrents

There are a few ways to remotely download torrents, and we have a bunch of guides to help you do it. If you want to stick with the same basic method outlined above, you can send .torrent files remotely to your Dropbox folder. For a little more control, though, you might prefer just using uTorrent's mobile interface to remotely schedule torrents instead:

1. Grab a copy of uTorrent (if you don't have one already).
2. Open up uTorrent and edit its Preferences/Settings.
3. Go to the "Remote" tab and check the box next to "Enable uTorrent Remote".
4. Enter a unique computer name and a password. If your computer name is accepted and isn't in use by anyone else, you'll be asked to answer a new security question. Fill in your answer and press okay.
5. Go to remote.utorrent.com in your smartphone's web browser and log in with your computer's name and password.
6. Press the + button to add a new torrent via URL.

That's all there is to it! For a more detailed walkthrough, see our recent guide to monitoring your BitTorrent downloads from any computer or mobile device.

Remotely Download Files from Usenet

Using your smartphone to tell your home computer to remotely download files from Usenet is really easy to do. You just need the right app, SABnzbd+ running on that home computer, and the port SABnzbd+ runs on (8080 by default) forwarded to that computer via your router's admin software. Then you can use the relevant app for your smartphone to remotely schedule downloads. That's the process in a nutshell. Here's the step by step:

1. Presumably you've already got a Usenet account and set up SABnzbd+, but if not you need to do that.
2. Forward port 8080 (or whatever port you're using) to the IP address of the computer running SABnzbd+. If you don't know how to do this, read our port forwarding guide.
3. Now you need an app for your smartphone. If you're using an iPhone, download myNZB ($3). For Android, download, NZBAir ($5), sabdroidplus (Free), NZBDroid (Free, $1), or one of the many other options.
4. Once you've downloaded your NZB-adding app of choice, go into SABnzbd+ on your computer, grab your API key. You can find it by choosing Config -> General, then scrolling down the page to find the "API Key", and copy it. You can either do this directly on your phone or do it on your computer and send the API key to your phone via email (or whatever method you prefer).
5. Go into the settings on the app you chose and enter your SABnzbd+ credentials. This will generally include your username, password, and API key. On the iPhone, you'll find this in the myNZB settings in the Settings app—not in the myNZB app. On Android, the location will vary a little because we're not talking about a multiple apps, but you'll find the settings you're looking for by pressing the menu button on your device.

Now you're all set up! You can now use your SAB-compatible app to search for and schedule Usenet downloads with ease.

Windows 7 VPN Connection Setup

On Windows XP days we simply create the vpn my previous note you read windows server 2003 vpn server setup. Now I write here windows 7 vpn connection setup create. You will create the vpn setup easily step by step with this notes

Let's begin with a computer that has Windows 7 installed and is not yet domain-joined. Begin by logging on using the credentials of a local administrator on the computer:

Figure 1: Step 1 of configuring Windows 7 for VPN Single Sign On

Once you are interactively logged on to the Windows desktop, open the Network and Sharing Center. The next step is to create your VPN connection, and you begin doing this by clicking the Set Up A New Connection Or Network link circled in red below:

Figure 2: Step 2 of configuring Windows 7 for VPN Single Sign On

In the Set Up A Connection Or Network wizard, click the Connect To A Workplace option as shown below. If the user of the computer is going to be using a dial-up modem connection instead of a VPN tunnel over the public Internet, select the fourth option in this wizard page instead and proceed similarly to the steps that follow.

Figure 3: Step 3 of configuring Windows 7 for VPN Single Sign On

In the Connect To A Workplace wizard, click the Use My Internet Connection (VPN) option as shown next:

Figure 4: Step 4 of configuring Windows 7 for VPN Single Sign On

On the next wizard page, specify a FQDN or IP address for the VPN server the user will use to connect to the corporate network, and type a friendly name for this connection as shown below. Also be sure to select the Allow Other People To Use This Connection checkbox as shown below. Selecting that checkbox is important since it makes the System built-in identity the owner of the VPN connection and not the user (Karen) who is configuring the connection on the computer, and that will allow other users of the computer to perform VPN SSO logon. And if the user of the computer will be using his smart card for logging in, be sure to select the Use A Smart Card checkbox as well. Finally, if the computer you are configuring is not currently connected to the Internet, you can select the Don't Connect Now option which will set up the new VPN connection but not initiate it until you manually choose to do so later.

Figure 5: Step 5 of configuring Windows 7 for VPN Single Sign On

On the next wizard page, type the credentials that will be used for logging on to the domain. In this case, Karen Berg is configuring the computer for her own personal use, so she enters her own credentials here.

Figure 6: Step 6 of configuring Windows 7 for VPN Single Sign On

Finish the wizard to set up the new VPN connection. Once this is done, the user can click the Network icon in the notification area of the taskbar, and a popup window will appear showing the newly created VPN connection:

Figure 7: Verifying the VPN connection.

To complete setting up her computer, Karen now joins her computer to the domain. If she is in the office, she can do this by connecting the computer to a LAN drop, clicking Start, and right-clicking Computer to open the System Control Panel item. Then she clicks Change Settings and join her computer to the domain the usual way. If she is on the road sitting in a hotel somewhere, she would first use a LAN drop in a hotel room or a secure wireless hotspot to gain Internet access and then click the Network icon in the notification area, click My VPN Connection in the popup window, click the Connect button, provide her domain credentials when prompted to do so, establish a VPN connection to the corporate network, finish logging on to her desktop, and then join her computer to the domain in the usual way.

Logging On using VPN SSO

Now Karen is on the road and she needs to access shared resources on her company's internal network over a VPN connection. To do this, she turns on her computer and waits until the logon screen appears:

Figure 8: Step 1 of logging on using VPN SSO

Karen then presses Ctrl+Alt+Del and sees the usual logon screen as shown next:

Figure 9: Step 2 of logging on using VPN SSO

Instead of typing her password, Karen clicks the Switch User button, and an additional blue button now appears near the bottom right of her screen. This button is circled in red in the next figure, and if Karen hovers her mouse over this button a tooltip saying "Network Logon" appears:

Figure 10: Step 3 of logging on using VPN SSO

Karen clicks the blue Network Logon button, and this opens a new logon screen called My VPN Connection (this was the friendly name that Karen gave to the VPN connection she created earlier). Karen now types her username and password (if she uses a smartcard then she selects the checkbox instead):

Figure 11: Step 4 of logging on using VPN SSO

After entering her credentials, Karen presses Enter and a dialog box appears indicating that the VPN connection is being established with the remote network:

Figure 12: The VPN connection is being established

Once the VPN connection has been established, the credentials Karen specified will automatically be used to log her on to the desktop of her computer. Once her desktop has appeared, she can browse shared resources on the corporate network over the VPN connection, upload and download files, and perform her work.
