HP products bad on quality
2008-03-12 02:45:00 Some time back i used to think that HP is a good brand. Not anymore. Recently i bought a new HP laptop from Costco. Even after facing weird shutdowns 2-3 times, i somehow decided not to return it. About 4 months later i realised that this was a defective model from HP. Even in my office, a HP printer was returned twice under the warranty and it still wont print correctly. HP.....what happened to the Quality ??? More About: Products

Linux - Give it a try
2007-09-30 01:10:00 Today there are more than 100 different ways you can give Linux a try without hurting your M$ windows installation. Most of the options are based on using the Live CD's which allow you to boot your computer using a CD/DVD with a complete installation available on it. You will not need to install "anything" to your hard drive or make "any" kind of changes to your computer. The linux CD will boot into a completely graphical user interface which may be based on a variety of UI shells like Gnome, KDE, XFCE etc. Even if you have a grandma PC ( Pentium 1, 2 or 3) sitting in the attic, you can put life into it with these CD's. And if you have a cutting edge next generation PC then you can test drive the latest and the greatest in eye candy with Beryl or Compiz-fusion which will put even a Mac or Vista to shame.Just search google for Linux live cd and optionally you can search for Beryl or Compiz live cd to get a blast of eye candy.Or if you are too tired then click on the links below:Ubu...

2007-09-12 08:24:00 So you got that unwanted spam mail in your mailbox. You decide to unsubscribe your email by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the mail itself.BEWARE !!! If you do that, you might make the spam company aware that your email address is valid and active!RESULT???Instead of getting unsubscribed, you start getting even more spam mails!!SOLUTION?Use the spam feature of your email instead. Yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc do provide this feature. If this still bothers you, use the block feature ( if your email provides it). For example, Yahoo provides a blacklist feature for unwelcome mail. In the blacklist feature, if u don?t want email from "spammer.com", just type spammer.com into the blocking address box, and any email address from ?@spammer.com? will be blocked. More info on this blacklist feature can be found on this link. More About: Feature , Feat , Subs , Unsubscribe , Scribe

5 ways to avoid falling trap to key loggers.
2007-09-04 05:28:00 There are various key loggers on the internet which capture your key strokes when you use your computer. These are the softwares that get installed on your computer while you are busy trying to download or install a useful software on your computer from a website. For example, if you are trying to download a screensaver from a website, another program would also get installed along with it unless you specifically uncheck that item. Most of the people think that these are a part of the software, so they don't uncheck it. These unwanted softwares are called spywares. They track the cookies and all personal data along with your key strokes. This means that when you type in your credit card numbers, etc, they are all captured by these key loggers and then they can be use by unauthorized users.

Make your browsing safer by using Firefox
2007-08-24 06:31:00 We all know how Microsoft operating systems and MS internet explorer are susceptible to viruses and are full of loop holes due to which your online security can be compromised anytime. No wonder Microsoft keeps coming up with critical updates all the time. That is why I use Mozilla Firefox or opera browser to do all the internet surfing. Mozilla firefox is the safest browser that you can use for secure surfing like online banking, checking business mails, etc. And the best part is that it is available free of cost. Mozilla Firefox is a web browser with pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, and privacy and security features. The Google Toolbar integrated into the Firefox download offers users even more features: Google search, SpellCheck, and Autofill. More About: Browsing , Make
