How to list installed updates in Windows
Time to time you might need to list or export installed updates and hotfixes. Unfortunatelly even if you are able to lkst them in instaleld programs, you are not able to copy that list. But there are solutions.
In Windows 2003/XP you have to use 3rd party software like Windows Update List by NirSoft.
In Windows 2008 and newer (works also for Windows 7 and probably Vista) it is much more easier, you can do it with:
wmic qfe get /format:list >C:\installed_updates.txt
Format can be:
- LIST – tab delimited
- CSV – csv file
- HFORM/HTABLE – html
- RAWXML – xml
How to fix “Cannot Connect to App Store” after upgrade to iOS7
After upgrading my iPad 3 and iPhone 5 to iOS7 I noticed that I cannot install any app from App store. I was able to update existing apps, but when I trid to search for some not installed I got a message “Cannot Connect to App Store“.
At first I thought it is because App store is overloaded, but after few days it was still the same. I have tried everything, sign out from App store, restart iPad/iPhone, but with no success. I was able to search App store from iTunes on my PC, so App store itself was working.
As a Window user, where reboot is king:-) I tried hard reboot and it worked!
So how to fix that “Cannot Connect to App Store” error? When iPad/iPhone is running press and hold both, Home and Power button untill it turned itself off. Device is then hard rebooted and App store is working. My iPhone rebooted automatically, iPad I had to turn with power button.

How to update Windows defender automatically
Windows 8 brings not only Metro interface and strange Start menu but also Windows Defender instead of Microsoft Security Essentials. Windows Defender is missing some features MSSE has. One of those changes is that updates for virus and spyware definitions are installed by Windows Update.
In case your setting are “notify but not install automatically” you are asked nearly every day for manual update. My guess is that Microsoft want to force people to use automatic updates.

R.I.P. Echofon
I am using Echofon, Twitter client, for a long time, mainly because of its ability to synchronize timeline between several devices. I am using it on laptop and desktop as a Firefox plugin and on iPad as app.
I have tried several different clients, but realized that this synchronization is a killer feature for me.
But now it seems to be a history as Naan Studios announced that they are going to abandon all version except of mobile one.
So from unique multiplatform Twitter client with synchronization between several devices we have here a client like hundreds of other.
R.I.P. Echofon.
