Many times I have heard about the problem, that people have the Laptop/Desktop from the manufactures like DELL, IBM, etc. and they come with serial number or service tag and model name. If they ever loose this information then how can get to know about it.
Way 1, is to find from the box. Way 2 is the sticker on your PC/Laptop. and Way 3 to know from DOS. Yes, from DOS.
Here is the simple way to find serial number using DOS Command.
To retrieve serial number of the computer run the following command
c:\> wmic bios get serialnumber
To retrieve model name of the computer run the following command
c:\>wmic csproduct get name
So Net time you don't have to worry about finding SR#..... enjoy.

Something that I want to share about Ethical Hacking.
Introduction to Ethical Hacking.
It is a part of your ongoing security Architecture.
It is an art and science of determining the vulnerabilities of your information infrastructure to better defend, used to determine the weaknesses in your network BEFORE the real hackers do!
It is been performed by highly skilled, ETHICAL security professionals (We also know them as White Collared Hackers), uses the same techniques and tools to find the weaknesses and mitigate them or defend against them.
Types of Ethical Hacking
White Box: You have FULL knowledge of the network
Black Box: You have NO knowledge of the infrastructure
Gray Box: You have some knowledge of the network
Assessment Testing:
Vulnerability Assessment, using an automated tool to identify weaknesses or vulnerabilities in a network
Penetration testing, Comprehensive review of vulnerabilities, how to exploit them, how network reacts to them
Based on the International Telecommunications Union standards, the 3G network is the 3rd generation of mobile networking and telecommunications. It features a wider range of services and advances network capacity over the previous 2nd generation network. The 3G network increases the rate of information transfer known as spectral efficiency. Telephony has received a wider area and more range, while video and broadband wireless data transfers have also been positively affected. These criteria are identified as the IMT-2000 standard.
Japan and South Korea were the first countries to successfully launch this network. The Japanese company FOMA launched in May 2001 and South Korea's SK Telecom launched in January 2002. British Telecom in the United Kingdom and Monet Mobile Networks in the United States followed suit.
Now most of the countries had started implementation of this technology....
Some of the Advantages of 3G services are
1. Faster data connectivity (Picture Messaging, download stuffs faster, Watcing TV on mobile, Surfing, online gaming, and lots more) 2. Uninterrupted video streaming on phones. 3. Video calls and big MMS. 4. Data intensive applications.
While 3G packet based networks will allow users to be online all the time....
Recently in India there was an Auction for the 3G Service and bids end for pan-India licence touching Rs 16,751 crore which ensures the Government of India a revenue of Rs 67,719 crore. :)
Office 2010 the Ribbon to all the Office programs, including Outlook and OneNote. New thing is, now you have control over your Ribbon, what items appear on its tabs and you can even add tabs of your own. Put your favorite commands on there.
Outlook improvement
New Ignore button : Makes it easy to bypass entire conversation threads.
New Quick Steps section : Lets you perform multi-step tasks with one click.
Actions: You can perform more actions on a conversational thread, including clean up.
Easier screen shots
Inserting screen shots into Word is easier than ever.
If you’re a tech writer, you’ll appreciate a new feature in Word 2010 — the ability to capture screen shots from inside the application and paste them into the document, all in a couple of clicks. The Screen shot button has been added to the Insert tab of the Ribbon.
When you click the Screen shot button, you’ll see the available screen shots, and you can click on the one you want to insert into the document. After you insert a screen shot, the picture tools will automatically appear to allow you to perform photo editing.
Excel sparklines and slicers
The most notable additions to Excel 2010 are two new features called sparklines and slicers. Sparklines are tiny charts that fit into a cell, as shown in Figure.
Sparklines are charts that fit into a cell on an Excel spreadsheet.
The sparklines shown in the figure use the line format, but you can also create column or win/loss sparklines. You can edit the design of the sparklines.
You can edit the design of your sparklines.
Slicers are objects you can use to filter the data in pivot tables, which you can move around or resize on the screen. When data in the pivot table changes, the slicer is automatically updated. Both sparklines and slicers are created via the Insert tab on the Ribbon.
You create sparklines and slicers via the Insert tab on the Ribbon.
Here is another one of my favorite. Often we leave a document that we are working on one computer, and then need to open and work on it from a different computer. we get the familiar “file in use” dialog box that gives us the option to open a read-only copy, create a local copy to merge later, or receive notification when the original is available. Office 2010 does away with that annoyance.
Now we can pick up where we left off, or two people can edit a document simultaneously. A notification in the status bar tells you who else is currently editing the document, and where they’re making changes. Very cool!
Word can also cache shared documents so we can edit them when we are offline, and any changes we make will automatically be synchronized with the original on the server when we come back online. Now we don’t have to remember to merge document when we get back.
Excel provides a very useful option to gather data from websites, called web queries. These have been introduced with Excel 97 and have been further enhanced in the versions released after Excel 97. This article shows how you can setup a web query so that you can make the worksheet dynamically update based on values in so called parameter cells.
Setting up a web query is as simple as clicking the Data tab and then clicking the “From Web button on the Get External Data tab.
Don’t do anything yet, first click the “Options” button and set the webquery to return full html formatting results (if so desired):
After changing these settings, select the part you want to be imported into your sheet by clicking the appropriate black-on-yellow arrow:
Now we’re ready to click “Import”. If the page takes time to load, you’ll see a progress screen:
Next Excel asks where to put the results; put them in cell A3 so we have room above the table:
If you want an interactive result in your sheet, enabling you to enter new search criteria in a cell, you have to go through a little VBA. Don’t worry, this is easy.
These steps are needed:
Click any cell in the new table.
Open the Visual Basic Editor by hitting the Alt+F11 key.
You have now made part of the url work as a parameter, by replacing that part of the url with some text between quotes and square brackets (we used a bit of VBA because with the MSN site you can’t do this through the user interface). The string you entered will be used as both the name of the parameter and the prompt.
Click the refresh all button on the data tab of the ribbon, in the connections group. Excel will interpret the part between the square brackets as a parameter and prompt you for a value:
Excel detects we have a parameter and now asks what value you want.
