A 40-foot whale shark was brought into harbor in Karachi, Pakistan on Tuesday, Feb. 7. after reportedly being found unconscious in the Arabian Sea.

Fishermen used several cranes to lift the whale shark to dry land, where a crowd of onlookers gathered to see the massive creature.

The whale shark carcass was later sold for 1.7 million rupees (nearly $19,000), ABC News reports.

After a 2005 assessment, the International Union for Conversation of Nature and Natural Resources declared the global whale shark population was vulnerable, MSNBC observes.

For many years, whale sharks have been highly sought after by harpoon fisheries in Southeast Asia, where people primarily used the fish for meat and oil. However, it is now illegal to hunt whale sharks in several countries, including India and the Philippines.

Habitat damage has proven to be another threat to the whale shark population, according to the Whale Shark Project, a conservation awareness group. Pollution and overfishing near reefs often leads to a reduced available food supply for the creatures.

In an effort to help protect the animals, some businesses have turned to ecotourism to educate people about the sharks and their environment.

However, some tourists said expeditions often felt more "commercial" than educational, according to a VERA Files report.

Whale sharks are the world's largest fish, often growing to 40 feet or greater in length, National Geographic explains. Typically found swimming in warm, tropical waters, whale sharks are generally docile creatures.

Nevertheless, longtime fisherman Allan Amanse warns that getting too close to whale sharks might not be a good idea.

"Whale sharks are really amazing animals. They are very gentle. But people should remember that they are wildlife animals and feeding them could pose more harm than good," Amanse is quoted as saying in a VERA Files article.

Let's kick off this power-user party with keyboard shortcuts-tricks every enthusiast should memorize when mastering a new OS. We're confident the following time-saving keystrokes will save you precious neural processing cycles, and make your mouse jealous with neglect.

Alt + P

In Windows Explorer, this shortcut activates a preview pane of your selected file, be it an image, sound, or video document. This panel is great for previewing images in your photos directory, obviating the need for fancier third-party software.

Windows + Up and Windows + Down

If a window isn't maximized, pressing the Windows + Up arrow key will make it fill your entire screen. Windows + Down arrow will minimize that active window.

Windows + Shift + Up and Windows + Shift + Down

Hitting these three keys will vertically stretch an active window to the maximum desktop height (the width of the window, however, will stay the same). Pressing Windows + Shift+ Down will restore the window to its previous dimensions.

Windows + + and Windows + -

Pressing the Windows button with either the plus or minus key activates the Magnifier, letting you zoom in on the entire desktop or open a rectangular magnifying lens to zoom in on (and out of) parts of your screen. You can also customize the Magnifier to follow your mouse pointer or keyboard cursor.

Windows + Left and Windows + Right

These two shortcuts will make your active window fill up exactly one half of your screen-depending on which arrow key you use. And once a window is fixed to one side of the screen, you can repeat the shortcut with the same arrow key to flip it to the other side.

Windows + Home

This shortcut minimizes every open window on your desktop except the active window. Pressing this shortcut again restores all the minimized windows.

Windows + T

Like Alt + Tab (still our all-time-favorite Windows shortcut), Windows + T cycles through thumbnails of your open programs via the Taskbar's peek menu.

Windows + E

Automatically opens up a new Explorer window to show your Libraries folder.

Windows + P

Manage your multiple-monitor setup more efficiently with this handy shortcut. Windows + P opens a small overlay that lets you configure a second display or projector. You can switch from a single monitor to dual-display in either mirror or extend-desktop mode.

Windows + Shift + Left and Windows + Shift + Right

If you're using two or more displays-and you are, aren't you?-memorize this shortcut to easily move a window from one screen to the other. The window retains its size and relative position on the new screen, which is useful when working with multiple documents.

Windows + [Number]

Programs (and new instances) pinned to your Taskbar can be launched by hitting Windows and the appropriate number key. Windows + 1, for example, launches the first application in the taskbar, while Windows + 4 will launch the fourth.

Windows + Space

This combo performs the same function as moving your mouse to the bottom right of the Taskbar: It makes every active window transparent (save faint outlines) so you can view the desktop underneath.

Microsoft includes a full backup and restores utility with Windows 7. Follow this guide to see how it works.

Backing up your files is one of the most important things you can do to safeguard the data you create and store on your computer. To this end, Microsoft included a full backup and restore utility with Windows 7. Here’s how it works.

Backing Up

First you need to launch Windows' Backup and Restore utility. You will find it in the Control Panel by selecting first System and Security and then Backup and Restore. If you have never used this tool before, you'll see a message under 'Backup' that says 'Windows Backup has not been set up'. Click the link labeled Set up backup to the right of that message.

After the program starts, it will prompt you to choose a location for it to store your backup files in. Windows won't let you choose your main hard drive as a backup drive; so if you haven’t already plugged in your external hard drive, do it now and click Refresh.

After you've chosen the drive that you want to use for your backup, the program will ask you to identify what you want to back up. The default selection is to let Windows choose for you, and create a disk image at the same time. You can be much more selective, however, by clicking the radio button next to Let me choose.

Once you've chosen what you want to back up, and where you want Windows to store it, the program will display a backup summary screen that confirms the options you selected. Before you run your backup, though, you'll probably want to take a look at the default schedule that Windows has set up for you, to confirm that your computer is going to be on at that time of day. If you want to adjust it, click Change schedule and then set it to something more suitable to your schedule.

Finally, click Save settings and run backup. The first backup will be a somewhat lengthy process, but future backups will be quicker, as they will back up only files that have been added or changed since your previous backup.

Restoring From Backup

Restoring files from your backup is fairly simple. First, launch the Backup and Restore utility, (as described above); then decide whether to restore all of your files, or just specific files that may have been deleted or become corrupt.

To restore all of your backed-up data, click Restore my files, followed by Browse for folders. Next, on the left side, look for the folder bearing the name of your backup. Click that folder, and then click Add folder. Once you've added the folder to your restore list, click Next and choose whether you want the files restored to the original location or to a new location. Finally, click Restore to bring back all of your data.

To restore specific files, first click Restore my files, and then click Browse for files. Navigate to your backup folder, and choose the individual files that you want. Again, the program will ask you whether you want to restore the files to their original location or to a new location. Once you decide where you want them, click Restore to recover the data you selected.

Unsure about the name of the file you want? Click Restore my files, and then use the Search button to examine your backup for the keywords that you type into the search field. In the search results, locate the files you need, add them to the restore list, and restore them as described above.

With the help of Gmail filters, you can automatically sort your incoming email.

Email remains a popular tool for communication because it lets you quickly send your thoughts to anyone anywhere and at any time. If you don't manage your inbox, however, email can easily become overwhelming. In this article I'll walk you through Gmail's filter features, which allow you to sort and automatically manage incoming mail. Here's how to set them up.

Set the Filter Criteria

The first thing to do when creating a filter is to tell Gmail what kinds of messages you want it to look for. You can do this by setting search criteria for the filter.

1. In the Gmail search box, click the expansion arrow for more-advanced search options. Start filtering your mail by determining your search criteria.
2. Determine which types of mail you would like to manage with this filter, and fill in your criteria accordingly. For example, to find and manage mail pertaining to PCWorld, input pcworld in the 'Has the words' text box. You can create a filter based on the sender, recipient, subject, keywords, or date range, and on whether the mail contains an attachment. You can also use the asterisk wildcard character to match anything. For instance, you can use *@pcworld.com in your search terms to match any pcworld.com email address.
3. Click the Create filter with this search link at the bottom of the search options.

Determine How to Handle the Messages

Once you have set the search criteria for the filter, you need to tell Gmail what to do with the messages. After applying your search criteria, Gmail will display any messages you've already received that match the search, along with filtering options. If Gmail found any existing mail that matches your search criteria, you know that your filter is set up correctly. If the filter is not finding the kinds of messages you want, click back to search options to readjust your filter criteria.

The filtering options window allows you to specify what to do with any future incoming messages that match your search criteria. For example, to flag new incoming messages from PCWorld as important and star them for reading later, check the Always mark it as important and Star it boxes. The actions you can apply to messages are: automatically archive (skip the inbox), mark as read, star, apply a label, forward, delete, never mark as spam, always mark as important, and never mark as important. You can also combine multiple actions, as in the example.

You can set up your filters to perform several different actions.

Optionally, you can retroactively apply your filter options to any existing matching messages by clicking the Also apply filter to x matching conversations box, where x is the number of messages that match the search criteria. After you have specified the actions, click Create filter to make the filter active. A confirmation will appear, and you will return to the inbox.

Now that the filter is active, Gmail will automatically handle any new messages that match your criteria, until you remove the filter.

Manage Filters

You can edit or delete any of your existing filters in Gmail's settings.

Here you can edit or delete your existing filters.

1. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the page, and then click Mail settings.
2. In the settings page, click the Filters link to bring up a list of your current filters.
3. On the filter you wish to manage, you can click edit to readjust the search criteria or actions, or delete to remove the filter and stop its actions from being applied to messages.

TeamViewer is a free app that lets you remotely connect to a PC or Mac. Check out our guide to see how the software works.

Have you ever been somewhere and wanted to show a family photo or retrieve a document, only to realize that the file is on a home computer? The more connected our devices become, the more they increase our desire to access our information anywhere.

But while mobile devices increasingly outsell traditional computers, a lot of our most important information continues to be stored on stationary home desktops or laptops, which don't offer convenient access from just anywhere because of home firewalls. Even when you're on a home network, having to move to a particular device on the other side of the house can be annoying.

Software engineers have come up with an easier way to gain access from afar. Using simple software, you can see and control a remote computer on another device that you're currently using--even from a different computer network. All you typically need is a working Internet connection for both devices.

Various methods and applications can enable this functionality for your devices. In this guide, we'll focus on TeamViewer, a popular program that offers compatibility with Windows, Mac, and even some Smartphone operating systems. Here's how to use it.

Install the Software on the First Computer

1. Download the TeamViewer app from the company's website  to the computer that you want to control remotely. In most cases, the full version will suffice; it's free for noncommercial users.
2. After completing the download, launch the installer.
3. Select Install and then Next.
4. For personal use, select personal/noncommercial and then click Next.
5. Accept the license and usage agreement by selecting both checkboxes and clicking Next.
6. For installation type, select Yes to install the host listening software on the current computer; then click Next. The software will now be installed.
7. The app will prompt you to set up unattended access. Click Next, set a descriptive name and password for the computer, and click Next again.
8. Now you need to create a Teamviewer account, to permit easy, secure access to any of your devices that you want to reach. Fill in a username, email address, and password to create the account, and then click Next.
9. Click Finish to complete the setup.

The computer will now be running listening software that waits for approved devices to connect to it, and that can also connect to other computers you configure.

Install the Software on the Second Computer

1. Download TeamViewer from the company's website or from PCWorld's Downloads to another computer that you want to connect to or from. Once the download is complete, launch the app's installer.
2. Select Install and then Next.
3. For personal use, select personal/noncommercial and then click Next.
4. Accept the license and usage agreement by selecting both checkboxes and clicking Next.
5. For installation type, select Yes to install the host listening software on the current computer; then click Next. The software will now be installed.
6. The app will prompt you to set up unattended access. Click Next, set a descriptive name and password for the computer, and click Next again.
7. Select I already have a TeamViewer account. Fill in the username and password that you created previously, and then click Next. Click Finish to complete the setup.

The second computer will now be running listening software that waits for approved devices to connect to it, and can also connect to other computers you configure.

Remotely Connect to One Computer From the Other

With the software is installed at both ends, connecting to the remote computer (typically called the host) from the computer/device where you are currently located (typically called the guest) should be easy.

1. Launch the software on the guest.
2. Enter your TeamViewer account login credentials, and log in.
3. A list of computers associated with your account will be appear in the My Partners list; one of them will be the host computer that you configured earlier. Double-click the name of the remote computer that you want to connect to.
4. Your remote computer's display will appear in a window, just as if you were sitting directly in front of it. Use the keyboard/mouse/touchpad/touchscreen of your current device to interact with it as you normally would. The software will take your local input and send it to your remote computer, which will then send its display back to your current device in real-time. (Note: For security reasons, some keys and key combinations won't go directly to your remote host, like Ctrl-Alt-Del for Windows. TeamViewer enables you to send these special keys and combinations through its software Actions menu.)
5. When you're done accessing your remote computer, close the window to end the session.

TeamViewer will typically work without any additional firewall configuration between devices on any computer network (and even between different ones), as long as both are connected to the Internet. And because it's compatible with many different devices, you can do neat things like control your Mac from Windows, your Windows PC from a Mac, or even your computer from your iOS/Android phone!
