Read this entry on Digital Inspiration – Microsoft will show a screento its users in EU to chose a different browser than IE!
WTF! Why in the world should a company be forced to advertise its competitors’s products on its own product? And that too in a hard core capitalist economy! Rival browser makers are crying [...]

2pl.us – a URL shortening service with password protection
In: Technology| Uconomix| Web 2.0
28 Apr 2009Just launched 2pl.us – a URL shortening service.
Why one more URL shortener?
Agree URL shorteners are dime a dozen. But we felt there was a need for one more. And 2plus has some unique benefits to offer.
Since its the latest one, there are one and two letter aliases available for grabs while most of the well [...]
Need for an online travel site comparison engine.
In: India| Technology| Web 2.0
27 Jan 2009I am planning a trip to Delhi, Agra, Simla, and Manali in February. Around Feb 14 – my second wedding anniversary. We had decided to go by our own and not thorough any tour operator. I have booked all the hotels, train, plane tickets online. Sites like TripAdvisor and IndiaMike Travel Forum helped me [...]
iPhone in India, is it for you?
In: India| Technology
22 Aug 2008Indian 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. Apparently iPhone costs the most in India. People have been asking who’s going to buy it?
iPhone is [...]
Firefox 3 is out – downlaod now!
In: Technology| Web 2.0
18 Jun 2008Just saw that Firefox 3 is out. I tried to access Mozilla.com and firefox.com but it seems down because of the heavy traffic. I managed to download it from Downlaod.com.
Download Firefox 3.
The installation was fast, it checked my existing add-ons for compatibility and downloaded the updated versions of ones that were not compatible. I am [...]

Review of Compaq Presario V3749AU
In: Personal| Technology
9 Jun 2008As I mentioned in one of the earlier posts, I was comparing two notebooks and I decided to go for Compaq Presario V3749AU. It’s been a couple of days since I am using this new notebook of mine and here’s a little review of its performance so far.
Standard specifications:
Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core TL-60 [...]
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?
In: Personal| Technology
1 Jun 2008I sold my 2 and a half year old Compaq 4118AP notebook. Its hinges were broken and battery was also worn out. The costs for repairing/replacing them was excessive – Rs. 7000 for battery and 4000 for battery. Instead of appending 11000 (approx. $275) on an old notebook, I thought it would be wise to [...]
