With this post, I have presented my views for Youtorrent to be the #1 of all torrent search engines. Of course, Youtorrent has really proved its dominance in the internet with 50k unique visitors/day with 150k+ searches/day. But we can observe that it is still in beta state. No boy can be born with a recruitment offer letter in hand. It too needs few more time to get into its complete form. I remember, the social network site orkut took few months to come out of beta state. The above is the current snap of youtorrent which can be found today. And here, I am suggesting youtorrent few improvements which can provide a very good performance and interface to an USER.

WidgetB(S)ucks! planning to commit suicide:-(
2008-01-16 15:55:00
This post is all about the popular(now or once?) advertising program WidgetBucks. It recently won Open Web Awards. There were few reasons for bloggers to use WidgetBucks, mainly the type of ad widget they provided.We cannot expect which ad is going to be displayed in Adsense or Bidvertiser. The ad which is going to be displayed in WidgetBucks will be known to the publisher before he installs the ad code. This was the case when actual widgets were displayed rather than CPM ads which are displayed currently. The widgets though they needed some extra loading time for pages, gave a good look and were attractive in nature. WidgetBucks was little bit successful in fixing the load time of the ads.All negative points of WidgetBucks started few days back when it announced of providing CPM ads to non US/Canada visitors. It initially stopped serving non US/Canada visitors and then launched CPM ads. All publishers waited for the service of CPM ads. They started with announcements that the reven...

How easy is it to hack your Yahoo! or Gmail
2008-01-09 17:46:00
Its very easy to hack Yahoo ! or Gmail or any other network login of your friends. Have you ever lost your password? NO? Then lose it once, or pretend so. Let me give an example of Yahoo! Just click forgot password button. It will lead to a screen which contains some queries like zip no. of your place and date of birth. If those things are entered right, you will be lead to some other page which contains some security question. If you do these pranks with the most well known friend's id whose personal details are known, you find that its very easy to answer. While registering to any network, we ignore this most important part. If someone around us tries to perform this, we will have to face the consequences. Its our mentality that we always try to choose the one given by them instead of creating any new question. There too, we pick the one which is very easy to answer. I have a wide collection of bio-data and/or resumes of some more than 80 of my friends and batch-mates and also m...

Counter spams easily...'+' addressing or disposable address
2008-01-08 18:54:00
Is there anyone on this earth who has never been spammed. Possibly Yes! those who never register anywhere and keep those ids almost dead and even avoiding advertisements from their free portals. Those who are regular users of internet will definitely be hit of spams one or the other day. How to track that? Here are few tricks...Gmail helps you tackle this solution in this way:They provide certain mail addressing using '+' format. If you have a mail id superman@gmail.com, even the mail id superman+spiderman@gmail.com also works with the same id. A mail sent to superman+[anything]@gmail.com will be delivered to the main mail id superman@gmail.com. So, Gmail users, don't use your original id while registering to any site, use something like this including some identifier for that site. By this, you can only track who is selling your mail id and you can inform others not to be a victim. You cannot avoid them if once they got your mail id.Yahoo! has some other concept to solve this pr...

Till now, Indians were deprived of VOIP services, but now a provider Terrasip has started offering free calls for Indians, not all but only for Bengalorians. Anyhow, congrats for all those who got this opportunity. I hope many of my friends will enjoy this opportunity. Looking forward for those days which will get me such an opportunity. You need to register for that to make free calls. Why do you want to delay to use such service. Just register, login and make free calls. I don't have enough time to collect more details about this service. Just discover yourselves. Even they offer sms solutions. I don't think you need that too.

How famous is Liu Yan

I was thinking, if Liu Yan can trace me out, by giving my name into any search engine and may get the details that I am posting about him on my blog.Even I did the same thing today! I wondered about the popularity of Mr. Liu Yan, this man is interested to give such proposals to everyone and I don't know if 19.5 million people received such spams. Just went through blogsearch of Google. Lots of blogs have posts about him.Its also amazing that this man uses same name with many people but different email ids.

Distressed Telephone Subscribers - Here is the solution...

Today, we can see lots of telephone subscribers blaming about advertisements which haunt them through their cell phones. These ads may be in the form of SMS, calls with recorded voice messages... These are hardly appreciated by any user, but the operators provide this free facility(?) so that they can get benefited.Landline users receive such ads where a live person from an insurance company, service agency, computer center or any such local bodies call them and inform that their number has been selected in a lucky dip and the owner will be awarded with some prize and some information regarding contact addresses from which they can collect their prizes. Whenever the owner pays a visit to the venue, there he will be promoted with their company products and will be provoked to try them. They even provide many offers and discounts on such products. This is the fix which many landline users are facing in recent times.This is more in case of mobile phones and considerably less for landli...

Know about Norton Ghost 2003
2007-11-17 04:30:00
If you are a computer bug and a beginner, there are lots of chances that your Operating System gets corrupted. It is not possible to format the hard disk and reinstall OS again and again. Here I am introducing you a very good software called Norton Ghost . But I am going to tell you about a very old version of that, 2003 version. Even the one which should be used with DOS.How to work with that?Place that file in some drive of your hard disk formatted with fat/fat32 file system.Boot your system with DOS.Using commands execute that file.There you will get options to backup/restore a partition/hard drive.Choose the relevant one.Instructions are easy to follow and in English.If you struck anywhere, ask my help.The way this software works is astonishing, even the newer versions will not work at this speed. You can backup/restore partitions formatted in any file system. If you want download links, drop your mail ids.

All mails except the most recent one had same subject and the total summary of that stated that my site is downtime, and stated the error message (404 not found, invalid url, host not found, timed out, connection refused.. - I did not receive all these on the same day, but to inform you, I am stating some codes).During the beginning days of web mastery, I had registered my site to many services.

An article in a popular Kannada daily Vijay Karnataka is the food for this article. Be careful while you give your personal information to anyone. It is reported that many of you people will receive some sort of e-mail from your friend/ relative/ anyone else who is in your contact that he is in some trouble and request for some immediate financial help. They request you to transfer funds through moneygram or western union. If you transfer money to them, you are caught, you will never receive that back and even your friend also will not be aware of these things going around him. Lots of people in United States have lost money from such frauds. FBI letterhead is also used in such activities, which it has warned about in a press release. So please confirm that your friend is really in trouble through some other means before you go to help him through online money transfers.How is it possible?You will receive a mail from a very professional mail id like "service", "maintenance", "helpd...
