Dear All,

It’s known fact that we have 200+million users who has access to gtalk worldwide. Everyone has at least 30+ buddies in their list which includes family, friends, co-workers etc.,

It’s getting tough time for us to identify my friend john and my teacher john as both of them has the same name in their display. Mostly I will ping my teacher john thinking he is my friend john J you know how friends conversation starts…

Today’s post is to show you all how to easily identify the difference between identical friends in you gtalk.

First confirm with their email id which is your firend/worker/ whoever it may be. Now right click on their id from gtalk and choose “Rename” option. Now you can give the nick name as you want Eg: “Friend John/Teacher John” Simple.

Now when they login to gtalk you will be notified as “Friend John Online”. Happy Chatting.

Google Googles

Dear All,

It's google which always makes me and pulls me to think beyond my limits. I truly don't understand how things are thought far behind our imagination.

Google Googles is a cool application for Android and iPhone. Earlier it use to open and do things with respect our voice. Now they have moved behind our imagination yes, now we can just take photos to know about things. Photos will be scanned pixel by pixels finally the search result will be displayed for you.

You can scan a business card to save that to your contacts or you can just call to the contacts from that business card. Wow! Interesting.

One more cool feature is once you scan different language text using this application it prompts you to translate the text into different language.

I have tried this application in my office to see how it works. I just scanned my note book , it was awesome. Just have a look.

See my demo:

Dear All,
I am sorry for not posting for last two weeks as my account was having some trouble and i work with help center to recover it.

Todays post is regarding opening Most popular sites that we have visited when your IE9 loads. Once IE9 is out we could see some difference in the usage between users on other browsers too. Many has started using IE9 as it's good compared with other browsers.

Okay, to make this option as default all you need to do is open IE9 --> Tools (Alt+X) --> Internet Options. Under the Home Page just type about:tabs.

That's it you will now start seeing the most popular sites that you have visited when you open your browser.

Onion That worked! A Grandma Tip for Infants

Folks,

On Saturday my princess got vaccination. As you know once we get vaccination the following day the body temperature will go high. This is because the fight between the medicine and our body molecules.


As my princess was suffering with 100 temperature myself and my wife was very disappointed yesterday. Though it's normal in medical term it's new to us. As she is just 2 months and 4 weeks old we cannot give medicine for her. So doctors office was leave. We just took the decision to give grandma medicine for her. Yes, that worked well.

Grandma's Medicine is : "Cut an onion in half. Place each half into one of baby's socks. Now put the socks to your baby with cut side of onion against the soles of babies feet. Don't remove the socks for couple of hours. Check the temperature before you put the socks and after couple of hours. You will see the difference."

My baby was running with 100.1 temperature and within 2 hours she was 98.7. Please note that some babies will not like to have it in both legs so don't force them. Have it in 1 leg at least.

Note: It's just a tip that i have read and used for my kid. I am not saying it's the best solution. I recommend to consult your pediatrician before you do something.

Enthiran - The Robot Review

Dear Readers,

I have seen couple of emails to me stating have you seen enthiran yet? All my friends and family knows that i am mad of Mr.Rajinikanth & a good follower of Mr.Shankar.

From my childhood i have never missed first day show of any rajini movie. My uncle being the secretary of Rajini's fan club in my home town i use to get tickets for the first show. But unfortunately for Shivaji and Enthiran i have went without him and our group as i was in different location. 

The only hero which i have seen with this much simplicity and crazy on him is Mr.Rajinikanth. People are just mad about him. If you go for any movie and if you see his name or a poster appear in that movie then you can see the sounds & applause from audience. That gives his victory and the fans craziness on him.

The most awaited and a big budget movie Enthiran. The dream of two guys first Mr.Shankar who has prepared this story year sback and running behind the heroes + producers to make his dream on screen. Another one is Mr. Rajinikanth who was chasing Mrs. Aishwarya Rai bachan to pair him from Padayappa movie. Finally the dream of two pillars came to real. 

Shivaji was neither shankar's movie nor a Rajini's movie. It was a mix. Now Enthiran was directly a shankars movie.

Whenever Rajini's movie hit the screen it's a dewali festival for his fans. This time we have two dewali continuously.

Story line:
Simple story, A scientist who creates a robot which knows everything except one ie.,Feelings of human. He create this robot to help Indian army during the war. To avoid human loss in the war this robot should be helpful was his intension. Unfortunately during the initial approvals his demo is failed because this robot is dangerous as it runs only with commands and can easily be misused.

Now this scientist teaches how the human feelings will be to his robot which results in robot's love on scientists lover. What happens? Who won the game? is the rest of the story.

Scene i enjoyed:

I have seen this movie twice. I have enjoyed each and every frame of this movie as i am a fan of both Rajini & Shankar. But the scenes that i enjoyed most is as follows.

  • An normal introduction of a big mass hero which is unusual.
  • Telling IP Address of the robo when traffic inspector asks his address.
  • When Robo answers to the question "Whether is there any God or no?"
  • When robo get's the first human feel ie., Love.
  • When robo says "she is alive" while rescuing a girl from fire.
  • The last 30 mins of the movie i didnt even close my eyes. Each frame is enjoyable. A Different try and director shankar was very keen about not to mirror or repeat some graphical part in climax.


Abbu's Rating: 4/5. Though it has many logical fall considering directors hard work to make all class audience happy i could give this rating.

Watch the trailer:



Tamil cinema industry has spoiled such a good actor only by offering mass role from him. We can watch the real rajini's acting on the big screen.

Verdict: Watch out robot without fail with family. A new try from indian cinema industry & to enjoy Rajini's real acting.

Norton Power Eraser

Dear Readers,

The first thing which stopped me to write this post is we usually never heard or seen Norton product for free. It's something unusual and new. Yes, believe me Symantec has introduced a tool called Norton Power Eraser. This freeware detects and removes the thread which harms your computer. They say like this tool detects the virus which the virus scanner cannot detect.


The best part of this tool is its portable to carry in any media. This tool is just 6MB and we can carry in any portable device as mentioned early. You can put it in a USB drive and take it to your friends PC and scan it. Remember that your friends PC should be connected to internet so that this scanner first checks for any new update available if yes, then it scans with new updated files.

Google Keyboard ShortCuts

I often recommend my friends to use keyboard instead of mouse. Using keyboard helps you not only to learn some new things in computer but it's a time consumption option for frequent computer operators.

The time it takes to press Ctrl+c & Ctrl+v is 65% lesser than right click on mouse to copy and paste any text or image. I never goto mouse unless until it's hardly required. This way i learnt many short cut keys in computer. My Friends often wonder when i operate my computer without mouse. Also remember though you buy a #1 brand mouse once it falls ill then until you give vaccination you need to depend on keyboard only. 

Here is the list of Google keyboard shortcut commands listed by Google. Have a look and try to use this instead of mouse. Learning an alternate way of operation always helps us.

Age Of Empire - Online

Dear Readers,

I still remember the DOS games DAVE,PRINCE,MARIO etc. I call these games as best games forever. I goto my computer class in my childhood and once the class is completed i use to play these games with special permission from my guru Mr.Sridharan. mmmm. I love it. These games where available in Floppy disc in 1990's. After that in 2000 some of the games with more user interactions, Joystick support and sound features includes with Need for speed, Bike games came in CD's.


If i remember correctly my friend Ansar ali in 2004 he was playing this Age of Empire day and night to move to next levels. He tried to teach me but i don't usually spend time in games, so just ignored it. But i dedicate this post for him. Yes, Age of Empire is now available online and we can play with any of our online friends. Even we can link with twitter/Facebook folks into it.
