Well I am back after yet another hiatus and given my year, it was for the exams again they are basically going on right now but I have taken a break today to experiment and have achieved something that had captured my imagination for quite a long period of time- Ya! I have gone dual screen!!
So putting emmm….around 15 topics that I will blog about on hold I am going to tell you it feels to have a dual screen. The idea wasn’t original of course….I saw it on a lot of blogs and people were gung ho about having dual screens, and this thing really captured my imaginations. So after hunting down and rejecting some old spare and monster sized monitors, I stole one from the family desktop for the time being (the hidden transportation was an awesome adventure…!)…Well the experience is truly amazing….I have made the monitor screen my main screen for it is a sony and much more vibrant than that of the HP laptop.
Its really easy if you have vista/xp and a fairly new computer that come built in with plug ins to support extra monitors…You will find some pix of the new config. Below….
By the way I have changed the theme of the blog and its going to focus mainly on reviews now…The new logo sucks and working to change it right now…

India Times Mail.....
Indiatimes is a famous domain in India and has a vast number of users....It is one of India oldest portals and competes with rediff and Sify.
Recently Indiatimes released there new email service amid much hype and fanfare.They even telecast expensive television ads.....
So out of curiosity, i just created an account to check out the much hyped easy to use interface.
What i expected was a mediore service that was an inch above the rest but with more cons than pros....however what i did not expect was a useless needless clutter which
did not solve any of the purpose and looked like an advertised piece of crap.
My immidiet suggestion-whatever you do dont sign up for indiatimes mai....its not worth it.....
Gmail remains our favourite free email service for now..

Which Browser TO Use??
Which browser are you using?? Most of you will be either using Internet Explorer which ships with Windows or Firefox which has rapidly spread over the Internet, Mac users will be loyal to the Safari… So which software Browser should one use??
Here I’ll review a few browsers that I have used and some of which I have heard about.
Firefox: Its an extremely innovative product that woke up the Internet Explorer Team and it can also be called the Foundation Stone of IE7 because Microsoft started its development only after Firefox rapidly started capturing market share.
Other featured include Themes that have been created by its large community.
Score:4/5
IE6: IE7 has not really spread out so I thought I’d review this piece of crap too.(Those who are using this might not agree but even I didn’t till I hadn’t laid my hands on IE7 and Firefox.) But if you are using this a switch to Firefox or IE7 is highly recommended as it takes up too much of the space that is otherwise allotted to the webpage and is a very untidy package.
Score:2/5
IE7: I abandoned the impressive Firefox the minute I set my hand on IE7 and it has lain useless on my PC since then. I love the neat interface and more space for webpage. I also liked the inbuilt search and tabbed browsing though I had gotten used to them after using Firefox.
Score:4.5/5
Netscape Navigator: Yeah! It still exists… though I hate it. It can be called a slow started theme which works with both IE and Firefox yeah it doesn’t work separately but uses the engine of IE or Firefox…And is really slow.
Score:0/5
Opera: It has also got its fair share of features though I haven’t used it research shows it highly featurisitic….And has innovations of which even Firefox is shy of…..
Score:Untested
Safari: When Apple released the latest edition of Safari and made it available for Windows there was a stampede in the Blogosphere. It was discovered that the software in the Windows edition was full of bugs. On the upper side though many bloggers felt that it was surprisingly easy to use for a Windows user. I think I will download it after the next edition is born although a patch for the bug fixes have been released…
Score:Untested

Use Google Instead Of Yahoo And Catch An Extra Movie Every Month…


Above are the screenshots of Google’s and Yahoo’s homepages (Who didn’t know that?)
A look at them is enough to tell you that Google’s page will load faster because of the lack of media and advanced coding that Yahoo uses…. However I timed them and found the results a bit shocking. I think Yahoo deserve a pat because the rapid speed at which there homepage loads in spite of the large number of media it has is impressive……
Google- 01.92 secs..
Yahoo- -5.03 secs..
Difference-3.11 secs
Now let us suppose that you do 100 searches per day…..that sums up to 311 secs per day opening these pages which roughly equals 5mins that means in 30 working days you can save upto 2.5 hours enough time to catch up a movie……
That means you can catch a movie more every month if you use Google instead of Yahoo….
But I think you can save even more time if you download the Google toolbar if you are using IE6 or below or Firefox1.0, But I would recommend IE7 and Firefox2.0 because these
have built in search capabilities and you can save loads of time if you use them…
Saving time on searching can be especially useful for bloggers who spend a lot of time on researching the topics they blog about…
