Quick Search Cheatsheet for Google
Google has always been a good friend of us when it comes to information searching. But are we using its search capabilities to its fullest? Here are some quick searches that will help you in the quest.
Scores-The scores can be found of any live match going on. E.g. if you type in “ipl scores” and search you will get scores of the ongoing match. Click here to see it in action.
Time- Time in a particular country can be seen by keyword “Time Countryname”. E.g “time India” will show you the time in India.
Language – Get to know the language in a country by searching “Language Countryname”. E.g. “language Paraguay” will let you know the language spoken in the country.
Currency Conversion- Did you know that Google is a currency convertor? Search the keywords “40 dollar to pound” and you will get to know its capability.
Stock Market- You can track the share market by searching your stock name. e.g “Wipro share” will get you the required information.
Calculator- You can solve a mathematical calculation using google. E.g. 2*(3+5)/7 will give you 2.28571429.

Google Digg from firefox
All of us love Digg for its content, Google for its search capabilities and firefox for extensibility. As we all are aware that digg's search feature sucks, so we use Google to search Digg by preceding search term with "site:www.digg.com" in Google search bar.
Here's a way that'll make firefox do it for you. It won't take much of your time but will somewhat help your searching activities on Digg.
Open the Firefox search plugins directory [generally C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins]. Create a new text file using Notepad and paste the following code:
<search
name="Google Digg"
method="GET"
action="http://www.google.com/search"
queryCharset="utf-8"
>
<input name="q" user>
<input name="sitesearch" value="www.digg.com">
</search>
Now save the file with a an .src extension e.g GoogleDigg.src .
Restart firefox and you are done. Now choose "Google Digg" from your search bar and Google Digg from your firefox

Tip of the week - Dropped your Mobile Phone in Water.. Here is a solution..!!!
Ever experienced something like this before? Luckily I haven’t but after reading this, I’m sure I’ll not worry too much as I know the solution of it. However, the doubt is still there. I guess, I need to do some experiment to prove that this is true! Should give it a try with my iPod Nano then. Kidding!
What is the next step that you would take if your expensive mobile phone or iPod gets wet in the rain or your drop it in a wash basin?
Such accidents are not very uncommon. Adam Curry once dropped his iPhone in the toilet. Venadium went for a swim while the iPod was still in his pocket. Leo Laporte did something similar to his cell phone. Virgo soaked his iPod when a bottle of Diet Coke fell over his trousers.
Since the warranty for most electronics does not cover water damage, what can you do to revive that wet gadget ? The answer is in your kitchen.
Power off the device (if it’s not off already) and try to completely cover the iPod or iPhone in a bowl of rice. Rice being a natural desiccant will help absorb the excess moisture. Let it try for at least 24 hours and DO NOT try to charge the device.
If your gadget has a removable battery, dry it separately to speed up the whole drying process.
This home-remedy is cheap and worth giving a try before you rush to the Apple store for a replacement.
Ernesto Londoño successfully managed to fix his wet BlackBerry phone after he left the device soaked overnight in a bowl of uncooked rice.

Digg is getting buried in search
Search Fetaure on Digg is really pathetic. You really have to screw yourself real hard in irder to get something you want.
A known crap is here....
Submit a New Story - Are You Sure It's Not a Duplicate?
this feature really is of no use. It will give the list of possible duplicates which are nowhere related to the content that you are trying to submit. I am sure that they are not even checking the links of the story.
I am not sure what this page is for?
Please wait while we digg through your submission
I feel that it doesn't d anything except keeping user wait for sometime. Still if you think that I'm wrong then let me give you an example.
Check these two links:
http://digg.com/tech_news/The_Hidden_Influencers_of_Digg_3
http://digg.com/tech_news/The_Hidden_Influencers_of_Digg_2
Both the stories have same heading, same description and mind you..... same link too. How is it possible? Why digg is allowing me to submit the same link twice? Is it a limitation?
Digg is really doing a great job by introducing new features(pictures, Video...and may be torrents too ;), but they should concentrate more on the basic things like searching, I hope all of you will agree to to my view that digg search sucks and most of the times you would be using google to search digg, so why don't digg integrates google serch in the site to improve the user experience.
This is just a suggestion to the digg guys to improve the functionality of the site. No offence :)

5 HDTV accessories to have
| | Belkin PureAV HDMI-to-DVI cableWhen to use it: The latest set-top boxes, upscaling DVD players, and HDTVs use an all-digital HDMI connection for video hookups. Slightly older models are equipped with DVI jacks--HDMI's bigger, older brother. Belkin's handy converter cable--it has an HDMI plug on one end and one for DVI on the other--bridges the divide, allowing you to connect an HDMI source to a DVI display, or vice-versa. |
Monster Cable HDMI-DVI adapterWhen to use it: Your cable company set you up with a bleeding-edge set-top box equipped with an HDMI port, and it even included a matching cable. But your HDTV--only 18 months old--sports an older DVI connector. Don't fret: you can easily convert your DVI jack to an HDMI version by affixing this handy Monster Cable dongle. | |
Belkin PureAV DVI dual-link cableWhen to use it: Unlike the mix-and-match scenarios above, anyone with an all-DVI setup--an HDTV monitor and an upscaling DVD player, for instance--should opt for a cable with DVI connections at both ends. These versatile cables will also work with the increasing number of DVI-equipped PC video cards and monitors. | |
| When to use it: DVI is a tad older than HDMI, but when it comes to A/V receivers, it's just as scarce. If you need to switch between multiple DVI-enabled devices, Gefen's HDTV switcher will get the job done. | |
Zenith ZHDTV1 Silver Sensor indoor antennaWhen to use it: If you're unable to do an outdoor antenna installation (in an apartment, for instance), opt for an indoor model instead. The ZHDTV1 Silver Sensor is an affordable and retro-stylish way to pull in those digital signals without bolting something to the roof. This indoor antenna offers a no-fuss connection to your HD tuner, whether you have an integrated HDTV or a separate set-top box. |

A Dummy's Response to Technorati Fav Exchange
Darren started questioning this exchange program and was first criticized by Maki.
Well so far I have read following views on technorati favorite exchange.
- Maki's View
- Darren's View
- My Real Favorite Blogs
- Technorati Favorites Exchange Experiment: Whores, Prom, and Pig’s Blood
- Responding to Technorati Faves Criticism
- Ruffled Feathers on the Top 100
- What I accidentally learnt about Programming
- Favourites Exchange, my Thoughts!
- Problogger Agrees - Technorati Gaming is Bad
- The Technorati 100 Not So Hot?
- The Technorati top 100 superficial list
- Technorati Favorites and The Cheaters Who are Cheating the System
- The Sad State of Technorati’s Top Favorited Blogs
The blogging geeks at top are having their reputation at stake whereas dummies like me are enjoying this experiment.
You can promote it in anyway. Its democracy on the blogosphere and its perfectly legal. But the question here is " Is it Ethical?". People who are really "deserving" to be in the list will not be in the list if the exchange program is a success. But what is that defines "deserving" to be in the top 100 list? More and more people should like the content of your blog.
Well someone adds you to his/her favorite only if they like the content of youtr blog. Well those who are liking the content of Maki's blog are adding it to their favorites. Well he may come up in top 100 list with his technorati fav experiment but Its for sure that dummies like me are not going to get into that list in near future.
Well certainly it will be an ego-booster for me as I see now that 20 persons have favorited my one month old blog, but if I ask a question to myself that whether I deserve that, I may find it difficult to find an answer.
But we can take this in a different way that our blog gets more exposure to others and we get know about other blogs
Its now a cool controversy which has become the talk of the blogosphere. Some are critcizing it and some are appreciating it.
Well I'm just a dummy and I don't know whether I'm right or wrong but I feel that technorati can overcome the experiment anytime by following some simple techniques. They can change the algorithm of their ranking startegies. They can rank a
blog by
actual number of faviorites =
no. of persons who have fav the blog - no. of blogs that have been fav. by the blog's owner
well offcourse its not foolproof but if a dummy like me can come up with something like this then they are "Technorati". They don't have to worry much about this. And may be they are enjoying this controversy. They may be planning to relaunch it as a social-networking site:p.

Handy Yahoo Tips
- Change Your Name
- First of all open the messenger's directory. The default location is C:\Program Files\Yahoo! \Messenger
- In the Messenger directory find a (.ini) file name "ymsgr".
- 3. Open the file. By default it opens with notepad, but you can use any other text editor as well
- place these word on the top
caption=hackaback
Note: you had to place your name instead of hackaback
5. Save and close the file. Launch yahoo messenger to view the new title.
- Save your Chat
You can save save your chat by following these steps
- Go to preferences

- Use keyboard to view inbox
If you are any where in yahoo mail, like address book, calendar or any other option and you want to go to inbox then simply press ctrl+shift+c. You will come to the inbox of yahoo mail. This shortcut may not be supported by older browsers.
- Multiple yahoo profiles
You can make up to six profiles on yahoo messenger which will behave like six different yahoo IDs. When you are using these profiles no one can think that it's your original ID or a fake one. Just follow these steps:
1. Sign in to yahoo messenger, click on Messenger menu and then click My Profiles

How To Manage Directory Submissions
You have probably read this statement many times and it's true at least for the majority of websites.
So how about web directories? Is submitting your site to them a waste of time?
Even if directories usually don't deliver a lot of traffic they contribute inbound links to your site increasing its link popularity a very important factor used by search engines to rank websites.
When someone queries a search engine using a keyword relevant to your site, higher is your site link popularity higher are its chances to come up near the top of the results.
Submitting your site to web directories will help you increase its visibility and attract more traffic from search engines.
However you need an overall strategy to successfully manage your directory submissions or you will only lose your time and energies.
Is your site ready?
You should never forget that directories don't exist to give away free links. Their purpose is to provide their visitors with good quality sites.
If you want some chances to get listed you need a well designed web site containing useful and original content or offering useful services.
Your site must also be complete without broken links or links to 'under construction' pages.
Other things that can cause a rejection of your submission are: too many ads (especially pop-ups and pop-unders), automatic redirections to another domain, having the same exact content of other sites (example: the 'self replicated' sites some companies provide to their affiliates).
Preparing your listing details
Open your favorite text editor and write down the following informations:
1) your web site URL.
2) your website Title. Some directories accept only the official site name as title, others allow some descriptive keywords, but in general stuffing a lot of keywords in your title is not acceptable.
Write 2-3 different titles in compliance with these different rules.
3) your website description. Write what your site is about in a couple of sentences. Avoid superlatives, exclamation marks, excessive hype and generally everything that makes your description sound like an ad.
Description should be written in third person. Avoid expressions like 'we offer', 'we are ...'.
4) a set of search keywords related to your site. Separate the keywords with commas, then write down the same set of keywords this time separated by spaces. Some directories require the first format, others the second one.
5) your full name and email address.
Once you have done save the document. By copying and pasting these informations into the submissions forms you will save time and avoid errors.
Finding web directories
The next step is finding directories where you can submit your site.
You can use browse the 'Directories' category of top directories like Yahoo and DMOZ to find minor and specialized directories.
Spend some time to determine how each directory is organized and find the most appropriate category for your site.
Submitting to the wrong category usually causes a rejection of your submission.
Compile a list of all directories where you have submitted your site indicating the date of your submission.
Verifying the results
Not all directories send you an email when your site is listed.
You should periodically visit your list of directories and make a search for your site title or url. Flag all directories where you find your site.
If your site has not been listed after about 2 months from the date of your first submission you can try to submit it again. My advice is to not resubmit more frequently.
You can also contact the directory owner and ask about the status of your submission, but if you don't receive a reply, don't insist. There may be many reasons why a directory doesn't list your site, simply accept the fact that not all submissions are successful.
Submitting your site to web directories is an essential part of your website promotion strategy. It's a time consuming task, but with the right planning you will be able to manage it successfully.

Want Ubuntu Feisty Fawn ?
Ubuntu 7.04 is the most user-friendly Ubuntu to date and includes a ground-breaking Windows migration assistant, excellent wireless networking support and improved multimedia support.
Windows migration tool - The new migration tool recognises Internet Explorer favorites, Firefox bookmarks, desktop wallpaper, AOL IM contacts, Yahoo IM contacts and imports them in Ubuntu. This offers easier and faster migration for new users of Ubuntu and individuals wanting to run a dual partition. In addition to single accounts, you can migrate several users' settings in Ubuntu.
Easy installation of multimedia codecs
Playing an MP3 or other media file just got a lot easier. If the required pieces are not yet installed, 7.04 will get the correct codecs for you, no more searching and no need for long and complicated instructions.
Desktop Effects
Stunning new desktop effects are available as a technology preview for users who choose to enable them. They remain turned off by default, for the benefit of users with older or less powerful chips and certain non-supported graphics cards.
Better debugging of crashes
For those times when programs crash, 7.04 builds in a new tool to catch the data about that crash and make certain all the right information gets to the developers, making a better Ubuntu experience for all.
Xorg 7.2 included
Keeping in step with the cutting edge mentality, X11R7.2, the third release of the modular X Window system, is utilized in this and future Feisty releases. X11R7.2 comes with significant stability and correctness fixes, including improved auto-configuration heuristics, enhanced support for GL-based compositing managers such as Compiz and Beryl, and improved support for PCI systems with multiple domains. It also incorporates the new, more extensible XACE security policy framework.
New Games: Sudoku and Chess
With a change of maintainers in gnome-games, the plea for new and more exciting games was heard. After two surveys, one to figure out which game to remove and another to determine to which one to add, two winners emerged: gnome-soduku and glchess. Both of these games have now been added to gnome-games 2.17 and you can find them under Applications > Games > Chess or Sudoku. Of course, one game did get axed. Sadly Ataxx, a game similar to Reversi and Othello, didn't make it.
Download 7.04
Get it while it's hot. ISO CD images and torrents are available for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu and Xubuntu.
Burning PS2 games on PC
2. open the dvd decryptor program then go to to tool bar and hit MODE>ISO>READ. Then choose the correct dvd drive that the game is in as the "source". Also choose where you want the files to be stored on the pc hdd. THEN CLICK DECRYPT , or the huge graphical picture at the bottom of the program which makes it run. The game is now copying to your HDD. Take the game out when finished (it might take a while).
3. Go to the same tab in dvd decryptor and choose MODE>ISO>WRITE. This will then let you look for the files you just created in step 2. Select the file that you just created. (There is only 2 files creadted so pick the smaller one, I forget what its called. If it dosen't work pick the other file instead.) Then click WRITE, make sure there is blank DVD or CD in the drive depending on if its a cd or dvd game.
The game is now burning.... when done Take the game out
Five Powerful Strategies for Getting Maximum Website Traffic
We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the
complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not
true.
Content is King: - If you have done any research on search engine optimization, you are aware of the need to optimize the content of your web pages. Your content must be optimized for the search engines and have optimal usage of your most important relevant keywords and keyword phrases. As you write user friendly content keep in mind you should be optimizing your pages with phrases that best match your overall theme. This is preferred by the search engine algorithms. You can then focus on link popularity and link quality to help drive traffic. More on those two strategies in a moment.
Keyword Optimization - By optimizing your pages with the phrases that best match the overall theme of your site, it will improve the likelihood that users will find your site when searching for content like yours. You should seek out short multi-word phrases unless your keywords are unique. First, find your optimum keywords and determine their popularity. Also, use your top keyword phrases within your meta tags including your title, description, keyword and h1 through h6 meta tags.
Link Popularity - To increase your traffic, you must increase your link popularity. Link popularity is the number of links on the internet that reference to your website. If you are on a budget, link popularity can generally be increased primarily in two ways. The first method is by exchanging links with other web sites with similar content. The second method is publishing articles online that relate to your site, including a link to your site in the article and then publishing the article on as many article directory sites as possible. Employing both methods is the most effective; however, the latter is extremely effective because it creates multiple one-way links back to your site.
Article Publishing - Most webmasters frequently seek out good site content - remember content is king. They either lack the writing skills or lack the innovation or initiative to develop the content themselves. Webmasters with a budget often hire ghost writers. Those without money look to article directories to obtain some of their content. This demand for content by other webmasters creates an opportunity for you to socialize your site. Writing articles that relate to your content and publishing those articles within article directories ultimately disseminates your link onto other webmaster's sites. Think of the potential here. You are getting a one-way link from every site that posts your article. Top search engine optimization gurus exploit this little known strategy to drive their client web sites to top rankings
Link Quality - Remember, link popularity is important, but link quality may be even more crucial. There are two facets to link quality. First, sites that are pointing to your website ideally must have related content. Search engines will give links from sites with related content more credibility. The second component to link quality is the actual words the other webmaster uses in your link. The goal is to ensure the links pointing back to your website include your most relevant keywords in the link title.
Search engine optimization requires a combination of these five elements. Highly optimizing your website content and obtaining high link popularity from quality links will absolutely strengthen your search engine rankings over time. Of course, as with many things, your level of effort at implementing these elements is directly proportional with the results you can expect to get out.

How did I discover a dishonest employee? – With a Nokia Spy Phone.
It all started last fall. I was whistling away inventorying new stock when I noticed several things were gone. I always kept strict records when it came to stock inventory so I knew for a fact something was not right. The count did not add up. Now, in the day-to-day operation of owning a business, things can and will come up missing. But this was more than normal; this was above and beyond simple common mistakes.!
I never expected anyone within my business would pocket from me. After all I had employed each and every one of them. I trusted them with my livelihood. They all seemed so nice and down to earth, but apparently not. I know for a fact that I was not misguided with my figures but how would I be able to prove it??
I was told by some about a company that sold Spy Phones. They help deal with software that helps you catch workers from stealing. They had a very large variety of software to choose from. The software ranges from listening devices to text messaging services. This was how I was going to catch my dishonest employee.!
I used the Spy Phone Software so I could listen in on any outgoing or incoming phone calls from this untrustworthyworker. The set up for the phone was a snap and soon I heard things that made my blood boil. Not only was my worker pocketing, they were giving these items to the competition! I was taken aback. They were planning on stealing from me and then using my own business model to make me go out of business.
It could’ve been a long and drawn out situation trying to find my disloyal worker, but thanks to the Spy Phone I was able to get it resolved as soon as possible. It was an extremely easy process to bugging the device and even easier to get rid of my dishonest worker. I can now feel positive again that nobody will rob from me again.

Keyboard Tracker
A new device has been introduced to the marketplace that is a huge danger to anyone who uses a PC that is not theirs. It is known as a key tracker and it sits between the keyboard and the PC. As can be seen in the pictures it is very discreet but is probably one of the most dangerous items of equipment to personal information that is readily available. These devices record every key that is pressed on the keyboard. Due to it's position (it sits between the keyboard and the PC) the information is logged by the tracker before the PC knows about it and as such is very difficult for the PC to detect. They are available in both USB and PS2 formats so pretty much any PC can be logged. The user puts the tracker in line, leaves it there for a set amount of time and then retrieves it. They can then download the data onto their own PC.
If you intend to use a PC that is not yours (ie hotel business centre, internet café, airport etc) I would advise looking at the back of the PC to see if one of these trackers has been placed in line (scrambling under a desk is the better alternative to losing your email details). If you cannot get to see the back of the PC, I would suggest you don't use it for anything personal. If a tracker is there and you do not notice it, whoever placed it there (could be any user of that PC before you) will be able to recall all of your keystrokes - logins, passwords etc.
These trackers cost less than £30 and they are definitely out there already.
Beware!!

"
I know that people talk about switching all your hard

HYBRID HARD DRIVE
A hybrid hard drive (HHD) is a mass storage device that contains both a conventional hard drive and a flash memory module. The flash memory handles the data most frequently written to or retrieved from storage. Several companies have begun offering variants of this technology, which is expected to become popular in high-end systems, particularly notebook computers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs).
Hybrid hard drives have several advantages over conventional hard drives, including:
* Faster data storage and retrieval for applications such as word processors
* Reduced system boot-up time
* Lower power consumption
* Decreased heat generation
* Extended hard drive life
* Extended battery life for notebooks and PDAs
* Reduced levels of operating noise.
Limitations of HHDs include:
* Longer seek time for data stored on the hard drive
* More frequent hard-drive spin-up and spin-down
* Impossibility of data recovery from failed flash memory modules
* Higher overall hardware cost for the system.

Technology
Its an extract from wikipedia

Technology is a broad concept that deals with a species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment. In human society, it is a consequence of science and engineering, although several technological advances predate the two concepts. Technology is a term with origins in the Greek "technologia", "τεχνολογία" — "techne", "τέχνη" ("craft") and "logia", "λογία" ("saying").[1] However, a strict definition is elusive; "technology" can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical technology", or "state-of-the-art technology".
The human race's use of technology began with the conversion of plentiful natural resources into simple tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to control fire increased the available sources of food, and the invention of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including the printing press and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-increasing destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.
Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. However, many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment. Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.
Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-luddism and similar movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, claiming that it alienates people and destroys culture; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition. Indeed, until recently, it was believed that the development of technology was a concept akin and restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies indicate that other primates and certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and learned to pass their knowledge to other generations.
