Wednesday, December 21st, 2005Tokyo search for a rival to Google
The Japanese Government has marshalled a coalition of technological and corporate firepower in an attempt to break the global stranglehold of Yahoo! and Google.
The project is tipped to cost about £500 million and will probably take about three years to complete, government insiders say.
Disable Microsoft Messanger services
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005Disable Microsoft Messenger Service in Windows XP Popups are more than annoying, they are downright distracting. You can put an end to this one. Microsoft Messenger Service is one of those benefits and/or curse. While many are finding that the Messenger is a useful tool others are constantly annoyed by the continuing popups that comes with the Messenger Service Relay. We have been fielding a ton of questions about MMS and it is time to let our hair down, at least what is left of it, and share some ways to keep the good, do away with the bad. Messenger pops up an add which tells the user that, "I get pop-up messages inviting me to view pornographic pictures on some Web site.” Our reader attempted to get rid of the problem by uninstalling MSN Messenger, but this had no effect. In reality the intended purpose of the service was to allow admins to send instant messages to their users instead of using e-mail. It’s a useful tool for alerting users about network outages due to maintenance or other issues. One way to eliminate the pop-up messages, this is an example of a good thing being subverted by a bad thing. One way to halt this is to block port 135. In disabling Messenger Service; the caveat is that this prevents alerts from being sent to networked computers, but for home users, there’s no reason not to turn it off. Because anyone can use the service to display messages or ads on your computer while you’re online, the argument for blocking the port suggests that disabling the service altogether is compelling. The service is enabled by default, so you need to take steps on your own to get rid of it if you don’t want spammers to be able to display messages directly on your computer. An additional annoyance of such messages is that they remain on top of other windows and will remain there until you close them yourself. Disabling the Messenger Service If you don’t want your computer to receive pop-up messages via the Messenger Service, you can follow these instructions to disable it on WinXP: Go to Start | Control Panel | Performance and Maintenance | Administrative Tools. Double-click Services. In the Services panel, select Messenger. Right-click and select Stop to turn off Messenger. Right-click and select Properties. (You can also simply double-click Messenger). From the Startup Type drop-down list, select Disabled as shown in figure below. Click OK.
On Windows NT and Windows 2000, the process for disabling Messenger is similar. Access Services in Administrative Tools and select Disable or Manual as the startup setting in the Properties.
If you’re receiving unwanted ads on your computer in pop-up messages, you can take these steps to turn off the service that allows your computer to receive them. However, in a corporate network environment this may not be an issue or an available option

Fulfill ur Christmas Dream….
Thursday, December 15th, 2005Indian Tech. Booming ….
Wednesday, December 14th, 2005World’s first voice email 4m India
In three weeks from now, a next-generation e-mail service will hit the market.
Called NowPos (now possible), this will be the world’s first voice mail service, indigenously developed by Hyderabad-based NowPos Online Services, a subsidiary of TrulyIntelligent Technologies Pvt Ltd.
This service has the potential to make text format e-mails redundant.
This technology will enable users to record and send voice messages as mails. The fact that users will be able to send mails in the text format as well is just incidental.
Speaking to Business Standard, Ayyappa Nagubandi, leader (title equal to a CEO), TrulyIntelligent Technologies, said, “We took nine months to develop the technology and will launch it in the next three weeks. It will be a free e-mail service. While the sender will need to register with NowPos to send a voice message (up to three minutes), the receiver will not.”
Incidentally, advertisers will also find a new format to market products and services through NowPos. “We plan to allow advertisers to play commercials before receivers listen to their mails. This will, therefore, work as a radio commercial in an online medium,” Nagubandi said, adding that the firm would, however, permit only one commercial before a message and that too not exceeding 10 seconds.
“We will also use the AJAX technology that will enable users to customise their inbox and pages. This means, users will be able to drag and place an item of their pages anywhere they like, or even ensure that it is out of sight,” Nagubandi said.
AJAX or Asynchronous __JavaScript and XML is a web development technique that helps in creating interactive web applications. Rediff, for instance, is using this technology to enable users to drag and drop mails into the trash folder.
“Besides, another feature that the e-mail service will have is a tracking mechanism. So, if you send a voice mail to someone who in turn forwards it to another person, you will be informed about it so that you can delete it before it is heard by a third person,” he added.
DIVORCE due to KBC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wednesday, December 14th, 2005KBC claim its first victim
(I cant say its true or imaginary , just read & enjoy)
The tremendously popular TV game show,”Kaun Banega CrorePati 2″ claimed its victim in the capital. Mrs Neelam Arora, utterly disgusted with her husband’s inability to answer the simplest of questions, divorced him immediately after the end of the show. The entire event has shaken the capital to the core and has left the local populace in a state of daze. Mrs Neelam Arora, when contacted, was all fire and fury.
“How can you stay married to a dumb brick who cannot answer even the first 1000 Rupees question? Even a 6 year old can answer such questions , but my husband,I mean, my ex-husband *%$#@&*(unprintable) couldn’t do it. That’s why; I called a lawyer immediately and filed divorce papers.” She also added that all her friends and relatives supported her move. She also dismissed the suggestion that her husband, for motives best known to him, could have deliberately flunked the question.
Mr. Pankaj Arora, a property dealer in one of the colonies of East Delhi, was happy when he got the news from the Star TV network that he had got selected, one among millions, for participating in the popular show and he considered himself lucky to be so chosen. He was also told to bring his wife along to the studios at Mumbai where the game shows were to be hosted by Mr Amitabh Bachhan. Winning a crore was hardly in the mind of Mr Arora and all Mr Pankaj Arora wanted to do there was to gape at his idol and may be he thought he could try to sell him a few of the plots of his clients to Amitabh at a small tidy margin. But Mrs Arora was made of sterner stuff. Mrs Neelam Arora, ever the ambitious wife, now took charge of her indolent husband. She hired the best tutor from Sachdev Tutorials, made him learn all the countries and capitals in the world, currencies of different countries, names of different states,rivers,towns in the country etc. After 3 weeks of gruelling schedule of cramming, Mr Arora and Mrs Arora confidently embarked on their journey to Mumbai, little knowing that the game show was to change their lives forever. Mr Arora was one among the 10 hopefuls selected for the ‘fastest finger first’ event. Amitabh appeared in flesh and blood and Mr Pankaj Arora, whose lifetime ambition, was to see his childhood hero in person, felt a sense of fulfillment and pressed some buttons in a hurry. Mr Arora couldn’t believe it! Mrs Neelam Arora felt like a mother whose favourite kid had won the best baby show. Not only had he given correct answers, but he had done so even before others could begin!
There was a hubbub around the auditorium as Mr Pankaj Arora gingerly took the seat from Amitabh for everyone was convinced that history was going to be made that day. There was suspense in the air and the audience could sense money floating all around them. Amitabh Bachhan started the show by smiling benignly at the nervous Mr Arora, the kind of smile he would give to a ABCL investor, clapped his hands and read out the question.
“Mr Pankaj Arora, yehi hai aap ka pehla sawaal. Who wrote ‘Valmiki Ramayan’?
The choices are
A. Tulsidas
B. Ramanand Sagar
C. B R Chopra
D. Valmiki?”
Mr Pankaj Arora very promptly said, “Ramanand Sagar!”.
He had not forgotten the days when he used to get up early on Sundays solely to watch the epic. Amitabh again smiled the benign smile, cajoled him to use his lifeline, audience poll etc., but Mr Pankaj Arora, like a true blue property dealer, didn’t budge from his position. He later told everyone sobbingly that he wanted to preserve the lifelines for using them after touching the 25 lac mark
Amitabh commisserated with him and told a shocked Mr Arora that his answer was wrong. The pin-drop silence that followed immediately was only to be broken by loud angry shriek from a female, that evidently from a female, who had been done in by her husband.
She shouted immediately, “Is there a lawyer in the house?”. Before the pandemonium that broke out could settle in, Mr Arora and Mrs Arora had parted ways as husband and wife. This event has caused great sensation among the community of TV viewers and the effect has been electric among the chronic followers of this game show. Whether this ‘wife-divorcing-husband -for-flunking-the-first- question’ event, will drive away all husbands from the show or pull them with magnetic attraction to the greatest TV game show ever, only time alone can tell
