person gets mobile bill of $85,000 or 34 lakhs

An 22yr old Oil Field worker from Calgary,Canada -Piotr Staniaszek got an whooping 85000 dollar mobile phone bill . It was due to his mobile browsing charges. He had signed up for a $150 unlimited data service from Bell Canada

He happily connected his phone to his computer and downloaded tons of data including movies and games.

But his happiness turned sour when he got a 85000 dollar bill . The operator was charging him on a per-kilobyte basis for mobile downloads on his PC.

Bell has reduced his bill to 3243 dollars as a measure of goodwill but Staniaszek is still unhappy over the episode. But he must feel a bit better paying 3243 dollars compared to 85000.

The lesson - Next time make sure you read between the lines before taking up any new service. Its better to ask upfront than paying a hefty price later

Connect your PC to TV

These are the few ways in which you can connect your PC to your TV.

1. S-Video - This is probably the most common method out there currently because an S-Video cable is cheap as heck and just about every TV under the sun has a S-Video port. You’ll have to make sure you laptop is equipped with this port. Remember, there are two types of S-Video cables: 4-pin and 7-pin. Most laptops and PC’s are equipped with a 7-pin port, so if your TV only has a 4-pin S-Video port, then this method will not work.

2. VGA - If you have a HDTV, then you will be better off connecting using a VGA cable. It gives much better quality than S-Video and as with S-Video, the cable is very cheap. You usually won’t find a VGA port on regular TV’s though, so this option is if you have an HDTV.


3. DVI - DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface with “digital” being the key word there. The digital signal will give a higher quality picture than either S-Video or VGA. Of course, your computer will need to have a DVI connection and your TV will need to be an HDTV. This cord is definitely not cheap, it ranges anywhere from $40 to $80.

4. HDMI - Using HDMI will give you the best quality by far. No computers that I know of yet have HDMI ports, but you can get a DVI to HDMI cable to connect it to your HDTV. HDMI is compatible with DVI.

5. Scan Converter Box - This is the last method that I could think of and it involves using a scan converter box, which takes a VGA signal and converts it into S-Video or component video.

How to share a internet connection using vista

Some of you might have one internet connection and more than one system at home.So you might be interested in sharing the single internet connection between the two systems rather than using separate internet connection for each system which is quite costly.

Let’s assume there are two computers A and B. Computer A runs on Windows Vista and Computer B runs on Windows XP.

Computer A is connected to Internet via cable, so this will be connected through a LAN card. Now to connect computer B, you will need another LAN card in computer A or if you want to connect to more than one computer, you will need a wired hub.

How to connect two systems in LAN:

Step 1: In Vista, before doing this you should enable Sharing and Discovery. You can do that by going to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center. Under the section ‘Sharing and Discovery , enable Network discovery, File Sharing, Public folder sharing and others if you want to.




Step 2: If your LAN card that is connecting to another computer is installed, it will be shown under Control Panel -> Network Connections.

Step 3: Right click that local area connection and click properties.

Step 4: Under the tab ‘Networking’, click the properties Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) .

Step 5: Click the radio button to ‘Use the following IP’ and give an IP address (For example, IP address: 192.168.0.1 and Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0)

Step 6: Don’t give any other information, Click Ok and close everything.

Step 7: In computer B, make sure you enable the LAN card which is used to connect to computer ‘A’. Here you need not give any IP information as Computer ‘A’ will assign an IP address dynamically. If it is not working make sure there are no IP assigned and change the properties to ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’.

Step 8: Test the connection by pinging. (You can do this by typing ping 192.168.0.1 or whichever is Compter ‘A’s IP in the comand prompt)

Sharing the internet connection:

Right click LAN card which is connected to Internet under Control Panel -> Network Connections and click ‘Sharing’ tab and enable both the options to share Internet. (Note: Unless there is another enabled LAN setting you will not be able to see the shared tab under properties)

Click Ok and close. This option is given by the Windows OS known as ICS (Internet Connection Sharing).

Now you can use Internet from both Computer A and Computer B from a single connection.

Disable Hardware that you do not use while working on Notebook


Most notebooks have several hardware components installed that are not used by the user. A notebook with WLAN and network card for instance and a user that only uses the WLAN to connect to a network and the Internet. Every component installed is using battery and it is a wise step to disable those components that are not used - ever.

The Wlan - Network Card example was just one possibility. Many notebooks have a card reader, DVD drive, webcams and V.90 Modems among other components. My notebook for example offers both Wlan and LAN access and I have disabled the network card which had the positive side effect that it reduced the boot time of my notebook.


I disabled the card reader and the internal modem as well because I never use those components. The DVD drive is disabled as well most of the time because I rarely use it. I don’t have the necessary test equipment to test the battery usage before and after disabling the components but I can verify that the boot process into Windows is faster than before.

Free Web Statistics and Analytics Packages

If you are maintaining a blog or website then it is quite obvious that you want to keep track of the visitors means you want to know their location,operating system information ,visit length,page viewed etc .Whatever relevant information you could get about them,will be usefull for you.There are lots of sites and tools that can do this for you.You just have to utilize them properly.

Some of the best web statistics and analytics packages are as follows.

1. Google Analytics :

This tool is provided by google itself ,has no limitations about the log size,has a very good interface,probably the best.



Things that Google Analytics does not do.

1. You cannot see or view the IP addresses of the visitors.
2. What keywords were being used by Various search engine to reach my site.
3. Next the Full referring links cannot be viewed without hacking the package.

2. W3counter:

This is another great free Web Statistics and Analytics Package. Which provides the standard features that web packages usually provide i.e. Visits and Page Views, Feed stats, Sources, System, Browsers, Screen resolution etc. This Web Statistics package also lets you store unlimited about of stats. A good free alternative to google analytics if you find Google Analytic’s interface too complicated.

3. Addfreestats

This is quite comparable to Google Analytics though the amount of data shown is overwhelming. And the interface is extremely cluttered.

It has a drawback that it Requires you to put a small web badge, link to their website.

4. StatCounter

One of the most Popular Free Web Statistics and Analytics Package on the internet. Even though StatCounter is very popular they have a capped limit of 100 for the logs. Which makes it useful only for low traffic websites.This site has page rank 10.

5. Reinvigorate

This is a new player in the field Currently invite only. The Data is presented is a very easy on the eye and a treat to look at. Though currently it still in a beta stage so certain feature have not been fully enabled.

6. FeedBurner Statistics

This is quite simple and useful ,Google has acquired feedburner which is already providing Google analytics.

7. clicky.com

Performancing looks like a rip off of Clicky the only difference is Clicky Provides higher Storage of Stats 50,000 Page Views Per Day for Free vs the measly 1,000 page views per day by performancing.

Previously the Performancing Service had shutdown now it has relaunched and redesigned and updated the statistics Package. At one time Performancing metrics was extremely popular and did not limit or cap the amount of statistics data stored on the server. Currently the free version has a limit of 1000 page views perday which is very less. Though they claim to be better than other stats packages it remains to be seen if that is true.

8. MyBlogLog


This Stats Tool provides the most basic statistics that are relevant only for bloggers this has been acquired by Yahoo.

9. Crazy Egg

This Web tool is more focused on analyzing the Clicking behavior of the user on a webpage to to find the most popular zones on a webpage. this is especially useful for optimizing you ad placement to see where the attention of the users is being directed when they are on a webpage. Again this service is not completely free and limits the amount of stats data for the free version.

10. 103Bees & Hitail

103bees is better than Hitail since it is a completely free service and show more usable data and statistics such as highest ranked keywords, Search Questions etc.

These are real time analysis highly focused on natural search engine traffic analytics. They provides tons of detailed statistics and in-depth information on the search terms that drive targeted traffic to your websites.

These are indispensable tools for search engine optimization (SEO) and internet marketing.


11.
GoStats.com

*Powerful web statistics reporting engine
* ALL GoStats features are completely unlocked

IE7Pro is a must to have add-on that will take your browsing experience with IE7 to the next level. The add-on has tons of useful and powerful features and it tempts me to move away from Firefox, my favorite browser.

This add-on has over 15 powerful features and are as follows:

* Tabbed Browsing Management
* Web Accelerator
* User Agent Switcher
* Webpage Capturer
* AD Blocker
* Flash Block

* Greasemonkey like User Scripts platform
* Support for User created Plug-ins
* Spell Check
* Inline Search
* Super Drag Drop
* Crash Recovery
* Proxy Switcher
* Mouse Gesture
* Tab History Browser



Brief overview of IE7Pro add-on

  • The super drag and drop features lets your submit the selected text to a search engine of your choice.
  • To configure the features of IE7Pro, you can either use the IE7Pro preferences in the tools menu to access some of the options or via the IE7Pro icon in the status bar of Internet Explorer.
  • Proxy switcher feature lets you switch between different proxy servers of your choice and availability.
  • IE7Pro lets you save screen shot of an entire page as an image. This is of one my favorite features in IE7Pro.
  • Ad blocker in IE7Pro blocks unwanted ads and makes your browsing experience better.

This makes me think if Microsoft doesn’t has enough people to create these features as defaults in browser or they just don’t have innovative thought process? Anyway!

Online Videos beyond You tube ? broadcast yourself


There are several Internet users who upload and download videos from You tube only.Though You tube is the major player in the online video market but there are other players too like meta cafe, Google videos, daily motion, yahoo videos, my space, break, AOL videos, Veoh etc. Don't ignore them just because you are dealing with major player.










Though they have a very little market share but can be very use full for providing the exposure to your video.Though it might seems to be very unusual to some of the users that even after acquiring You tube Google is still running Google videos unlike the yahoo's action to yahoo photos which was closed earlier this year after Yahoo acquired Flickr.







This is different thing, what we are discussing is why should a user not remain limited only up to you tube for online videos. Some of these sites are doing good as well like Google videos has a collection of more than 11000 full length movies which might be surprising for some of the die hard you tube fans.

Internet is all about expanding horizons so don't limit yourself, just expand and broadcast yourself.
