Be part of a world record!!

Firefox is all set to create a world record for the most downloads in 24hours! The release date of the latest firefox 3.0 is yet to be announced. Around 744,072 people have pledged to download the software on the release date.

I'm actually using firefox 3.0 (b4 d official release date), and trust me, its the best!! It has many more features than the previous versions. I always preferred the previous versions over IE 7 ; so the latter doesnt stand any chance in front of firefox 3.0.

And above all firefox a free and open software! So i think it deserves to set the record!! So go to the site and pledge to download on the day of release; and do download!

Foxit reader

Recently i had to reinstall windows xp into my computer because of some problems...but since then i was having difficulty installin some softwares...especially those of adobe...flash, photoshop, dreamweaver, and others. I dont use these softwares a lot, but theres one which for me ( and i'm sure for many of u too) is the basic necessity in windows!! and thats adobe acrobat reader...
There again was some error installing it...tried different versions...the latest one, old ones...reinstalling different copies of each version 2-3 times...but didnt succeed...
I couldnt just stop and say that the grapes were sour.
Could have used linux, but i prefer working on windows.
So I started searching the net for pdf readers...and then i came across foxit reader. I got it as a suite with a pdf reader, page organiser and a pdf editor. Its really cool, and i feel is much better than adobe reader. You can edit the pages very easily, add comments, add bookmarks and do a lot of stuff!! If you havent used it yet, you've got to check it out!!
Some of you perhaps knew about it earlier...but Im sure there are many who didnt.
If there was some easier way out...lemme know..

Save energy wid ur computer

Nowadays in every magazine youll find an article about the
latest threat to our planet:Global Warming...So what can we
ppl who use computers a lot do about it?
Here are a couple of things:
1.CO2 Saver: CO₂ Saver is a lightweight program that
manages your computer's power usage when it's idle, saving energy and
decreasing the demand on your power utility. The less electricity
produced, the fewer harmful emissions and greenhouse gases such as
carbon dioxide (CO₂) are released into the atmosphere.

What's more, CO₂ Saver shows you the amount of CO₂ you've saved
single-handedly, as well as all other CO₂ Saver users combined!
So go on and become a CO2 saver...
2.Blackle: In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save
750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version
of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the
popularity of the search engine. Google, which has a white background and gets
about "200 million queries a day" could reduce global energy use by
750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply changing the colour of its homepage to black.
It is similar to google in every way,except for the colour...So
use it instead of google search...Save energy by making Blackle.com
your home page if not my blog.
And I know it wouldn't be fair if I asked you to use blackle bcoz the screen was
predominantly black and used a light colour for the blog myself ...So I changed it too .
Now my blog also saves energy ;)
Not that I get 200 million visits daily...but small drops maketh an ocean...
