If Its Computer's

In my earlier post, I discussed about various addons of firefox i love to use. Today I'll discuss a nice feature that I discovered recently. You'll see, whenever we search on a new topic, the modus operandi is, obviously, to google the relevant term and then to simultaneously open each link in a new tab by right-clicking and selecting to "Open in a new tab".But, now if use a mouse with a three buttons(one for scrolling), Mozilla Firefox, by default, allows you to open the links in new tabs with just a single middle-click over the link. As quick as that!

Those who don't own a 3-button mouse or use laptops should not get disappointed, you can use the firefox addon "Instaclick" for that purpose which allows you to do the same job with a right click. You can temporarily disable it using "ctrl+shift" and then using the right-click or permanently through the addons-manager.

Gmail offers a hidden feature to its users to know about the other people who have opened their account simultaneously with them. To know this just scroll down your inbox page and if anyone is sitting in your inbox along with you, you will come to know his IP Address. To know the intruder's location just visit this link and paste the IP Address. It will at least let you know the city of the same. An example is given above.

Finally its here. Uncyclopedia as Wikipedia defines it "Uncyclopedia ("the content-free encyclopedia") is a website that parodies Wikipedia". The content is quite ridiculous but hilarious at the same time.
Just search-in terms like "IIT", "MIT", "Osama Bin Laden" etc and you'll end up grabbing your tummies laughing for sure.Enjoy!

There there are many browsers in the market today offering almost the same features, even the looks and user interface is similar. But what makes a browser better is the convenience it offers to its users while surfing and downloading. Mozilla firefox has taken a leap in this space through the addons it offers along with the browser (http://addons.mozilla.org) which makes internet surfing more convenient and entertaining.
Here's a list of my favorite addons.
1. Adblock Plus (ABP): Disables all the ads appearing on a webpage thus, help it to load faster.
2. Colourtabs: each time you open a new tab it opens in anew colour.
3. Download Statusbar: rather opening a separate window showing the progress of a download the download status is depicted in the browser window itself.
4. FireDownload: increases the download speed manifold automatically.
5. Fireshot: Captures the whole window in front of you and allows you to edit it and save as a .jpg image.
6. Flagfox: depicts the flag of the country to which the website belongs beside its URL.
7. IE Tab: Any website can opened as in Internet Explorer inside the Firefox browser itself with just a click of a button.
8. Illimitux: removes the limitations imposed by the streaming websites like Megavideo, Veoh, Megaupload etc.
9. Noscript: A website opens along with many other websites (many are ads). Noscript allows you to disable all such websites temporarily or permanently. it also solves the problem of Clickjacking, very popular now a days.
10. RightToClick: Allows right clicking and highlighting wherever forbidden like on Google Books or e-paper.
11. Video DownloadHelper: This one's my favorite. Easily download media from any website streaming media whether videos, songs or pictures with just a click of a button. E.g, Youtube.
12. LastPass Password Manager: It automatically saves your website logins and fills the login box itself when you visit the site the next time.

This is just a glimpse of the thousands of other addons available and easily downloadable from http://addons.mozilla.org/

Windows XP reserves 20% of your internet bandwidth by default.
Increasing the speed lies in releasing this.

Here's how to do it:
Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "


This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:


Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth


Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :


"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."


So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing.
