How To Set A Custom Logon Screen Background on windows 7



Windows makes it very possible to change the welcome screen that appears when you start your computer without any third-party software, but this setting is well hidden in Windows 7, although is much easier in Windows 8 or 10. You can actually set any image you like as your lock screen background on windows 7

How To Backup Firefox Bookmarks And Transfer To Anther Computer


Mozilla Firefox allows you to store Web pages you visit often as bookmarks. Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks and saves the last ten backups for safekeeping. Nevertheless, you can generate your own bookmark backup file manually and do anything you like with it.
Earlier today, I was able to save Firefox bookmarks on my laptop and restore the bookmarks on my new laptop. So, this makes it very easy for me to access the bookmarks on my old PC on the new PC. So, in this post, I've decided to share with you, how I was able to do that.

Steps to backing up and restoring Firefox bookmarks

  • Launch the Firefox browser on your PC.
  • Click the bookmarks icon
  • Scroll down and click "show all bookmarks" to open the library window.
  •   In the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" button 
  • Click "Export Bookmarks to HTML..."
  •  Choose a location to save the file, which is named "bookmarks" by default. The desktop is usually a good spot, but any place that is easy to remember will work. 
  •  ave the file and close the Library window.

How to transfer Firefox bookmarks to another Computer 

You can use a bookmark backup file from one computer and restore it on another computer.
So, place the bookmark backup file created earlier on your transfer media (e.g. a Flash drive) and copy it to the desktop (or any location) of the other computer.

Next is to go to Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks  and click the "Import and Backup" button

Then, click "Import Bookmarks to HTML...."

After importing the backup file you created earlier, your bookmarks from that file will be restored. Close the Library window.

That's all.

NB:  Restoring bookmarks from a backup will overwrite your current set of bookmarks with the ones in the backup file.

If you use the "BackUp" option, it will create a JSON file which might not be detectable by the other PC. So, use the "Export bookmarks to html..." option as recommended in this post.

CcHUB is organizing an event tomorrow to celebrate recent milestones in tech industry


Co-creation Hub, Nigeria’s finest accelerator and incubator, is organizing a Tech BBQ to celebrate the recent (and future) achievements in Nigeria’s budding tech industry.
The guys at CcHUB didn’t specifically say what they’ll be celebrating but one thing is certain; Mark Zuckerberg’s sudden appearance in Lagos will be on the list.
For the uninitiated, US$54 billion that is Mark surprisingly springs up in Lagos two days ago and the first place he visited was the CcHUB. Now, that’s worth crying over (or popping champagne for).

For the future achievements, you’ll have to personally be at the event to find out. You can register HERE if you’re an entrepreneur, startup founder, developer, tech enthusiast or all of the above!
The event will take place on September 3, 2016 (tomorrow) at The Rooftop, Co-creation Hub, Sabo-Yaba, Lagos. A top British Minister will be in attendance!
Don’t miss this for anything. The Barbeque and drinks will be awesome!!!

Apple to unveil iPhone 7 on September 7 ?

That was the message Apple sent out inviting journalist for a press conference on Wednesday, 7th of September, 2016, an event will be held at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.
For the past three years, Apple has unveiled a new iPhone in early September. Everything indicates that Apple is going to follow the same pattern this year with a new iPhone.
Many leaks show that the iPhone 7 (or whatever Apple calls it) will feature more or less the same design as the iPhone 6s. The antenna lines at the back will be streamlined and the camera will be a bit more prominent. And yes, it looks like the audio port is going away, maybe Apple has found a way to make wireless headphones more functional.
For the bigger model, Apple could introduce a dual-lens camera system. Two cameras could let iPhone users shoot better photos in low-light conditions — it could also improve HDR performance and color fidelity. Or it would let you use an optical zoom with two different angles. We can’t say for certain yet, but it’s very likely.
Apple could also use this opportunity to unveil new MacBook Pro computers. There have been many rumors about an upcoming MacBook Pro with a Touch ID sensor and a curious OLED mini screen above the keyboard. The Apple Watch should also receive an update before the holidays. iOS 10 is also coming this September.
We can’t wait to see what new products Apple has in stock for us, will just have to wait and see.
