Here’s a quick guide how to install your canoscan lide 50 drivers properly.

Download Canoscan Lide 50 Vista x64 Driver

You can download the drivers at the official canon site:
Link to download site: Canoscan Lide 50 x64 Driver

This is the direct download link for the driver

You should go to the download site (first link) if you want to download other drivers. You should download the CanoScan Toolbox for Windows x64 as well:

CanoScan Toolbox for Windows Vista x32/64 and Windows 7 x32/x64

You can simply extract the lide60vst6411111a_64en.exe to a folder and then execute the SetupSG.exe.
After unpacking the archive SetupSG.exe (yes It’s another archive) you will finally find the driver for your canoscan.

Open up the device manager (Windows + E and then right-click on “Computer”, now click on manage and select the “Device Manager”).

Connect the scanner and then simply right click it on the scanner and select “properties”. Go to the tab “drivers” and click on “Update drivers..”.

Browse to the location on your PC that you used to unpack the drivers and select CNQL60.inf as your driver.

I hope that helps!

However, finding a good and reliable proxy is difficult. Due to the nature of proxies they disappear regularly. Then it’s good to know proxies that are here to stay. Here are some of the best US Proxy Sites…

My long time favorite US proxy:

WorldProxy202.com

WorldWideProxy.com

WorldProxy202.com is a proxy site that offers a proxy for the US, Australia, Canada and UK. This proxy site definitely comes in handy. WorldWideProxy only offers one US proxy, but it is still one of the best proxy services out there and is definitely here to stay.

You will find plenty of other proxies on the web and even proxy software, but most of them will not be up for a long time. As a proxy owner myself I know that proxies are usually not around for a very long time, that’s why I suggest to bookmark this post so you can always come back here and find two of the best proxy sites on the net.

You will find a list with myspace proxies on my site myspaceproxies.in, but currently there aren’t many proxies up, but the first proxy of that toplist is another reliable proxy that you might want to use to watch Lost or unblock your favorite sites.

IPhone Emulator vs. IPhone Simulator

Make sure that you know the difference between simulator and emulator. An emulator can run the real iPhone applications while a simulator only simulates functonalities. If you want to play the iPhone games, you will need an emulator!
Difference between emulator and simulator

iPhone Emulator Firefox:

At one of the sun.com blogs I found an emulator simulator for Firefox. It basically allows you to simulate the iPhone browser. You can download the firefox plugin here: Firefox iPhone Emulator Simulator. The file you can download at that site is a .xpi the firefox plugin file format. To install the plugin simply unpack the zip and then drag and drop the file into the firefox. It will then automatically install the iPhone emulator simulator.

This comes in handy when you want to find out how your own website looks on an iPhone. Be aware of the fact that this simulator does not change your user agent. To do that you will need another plugin that allows you to switch the user-agent.

User-Agent info for the iPhone:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en)

Online iPhone Simulator

Don’t want to install another firefox plugin? There’s a great alternative! You can simply go to http://www.testiphone.com/ and then browse to your own website or do whatever you want to do.

iPhone Emulator for Mac:

You can get a real emulator for MAC.
There’s an SDK (Software Development Kit) for the MAC that lets you emulate the iPhone for real.

What you can do is to install MAC OS X and then dual boot Windows Vista and Leopard. Boot Leopard, install the SDK and you can run your emulator. Because that is a lot of trouble to emulate an iPhone, there’s a great alternative

Download iPhone Emulator Torrent (MAC)

iPhone Emulator for Windows / PC

There’s a tool that allows you to really emulate the iPhone on Windows. There’s no need to install the iPhone SDK, although it would be pretty interesting! The tool I’m talking about can not only emulate the iPhone but also the Palm Pre.

Go to http://www.genuitec.com/mobile/ and download the emulator. Install it and start developing applications for the iPhone.

• iPhone emulator and development environment – no need for the iPhone SDK
• iPhone application development for Windows
• Palm Pre emulator and development environment
• Mobile Web development environment
• PhoneGap support for cross-device compatability
• Other popular smartphone emulators (coming soon)
• Blackberry Storm simulator (coming soon)
• Google G1 emulator (coming soon)

Note Mobione only works on Windows XP and Windows Vista not Windows 7!
