iPhone in India, is it for you?
Indian bloggers can’t have enough of the iPhone! Every blog that I’ve been reading regularly is talking about it and crying fowl over its pricing. iPhone is priced at 31K and 36K for 8Gb and 16Gb versions respectively.

I installed Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise on a computer today and then tried to install D-Link DWL G122 USB WiFi adapter with the drivers that came with the adapter. It didn’t work. Searching for a driver on D-Link’s site turned futile because D-Link has since discontinued the product. Some search on Google and I [...]
Buying a new notebook - Acer or Compaq?
I sold my 2 and a half year old Compaq 4118AP notebook. Its hinges were broken and battery was also worn out.

What the hell Yahoo! thinks it is?
I just upgraded Yahoo! messenger. The download and installation took place in the background and it was a smooth upgrade - that’s what I thought for a moment!
When I opened up my Internet Explorer I saw Yahoo.com had become my homepage! How can Yahoo! change my browser homepage without asking me? That’s bad! It [...]
