Every time give a new Email Id to Your Friends

Only for Gmail

Now Friends the very first Trick Of Gmail that I Love the most. So, it goes like this, say i have a email id vacdigital@gmail.com

If my Friends wants to send a mail then they will send it at this email address. Now, Let there be two friends of mine, there may be many. Rahul,Sreehari
If i want to give my friends a unique email id like.......
For Rahul it could be "vacdigital+Rahul@gmail.com"
For Sreehari it could be "vacdigital+Sreehari@gmail.com"

So, its simple you could add anything after the initial mail by adding a "+" sign. As all these Email Addresses vacdigital+Rahul@gmail.com, vacdigital+Sreehari@gmail.com are the same as vacdigital@gmail.com

If you have a girlfriend/Boyfriend then impress her/him that how much you love
her/him by showing her/his name in ur mail id.

Note: This only works when you are sending mails, Not for logging into your
account.

Njoy.....

Agloco: Get Paid to Surf

When I first heard of Agloco (aff), I considered it as a flop pyramid scam, but I was wrong. Agloco turned out to be immensely popular among everybody. I’m not in a position to comment over Agloco because their viewbar isn’t available yet, but I’m a member of Agloco and I’ll try to invite my friends into it (hoping that I’ll generate some revenues). Sadly spammers have been trying to take Agloco to the masses by spamming innocent members of forums, discussion groups and other social networks.

It’s OK to invite your friends and family, It’s OK to use your blog to introduce Agloco to your readers, but going off the track and spamming random members of social networks (like MyBlogLog and Orkut) is surely wrong. Spammers have created new profiles by the name ‘agloco’, just for the sake of spamming. If you want to introduce someone to Agloco, why hide?

I don’t think Agloco is a scam in itself. It will be interesting to see how much revenue we can generate by actually browsing with their viewbar installed. We being small timers, it might be hard for us to generate revenue out of Agloco.

Have you been a victim to such spam? Share your experience.

HD the way to go

If u think 108 inch HDTV is big.....then think again. Technovision has come out with a colossal 205 inch Luxion LCD HDTV.
Technovision is an Italian company that specializes in outdoor displays, which is probably why no one really heard about them till now. The ginormous HDTV, however is made for internal display.

I doubt this TV (or brand) will be entering our shores anytime soon. Besides, looking at the size of our houses, you'll probably have to move out a family member to fit this momma in.

so start clearing ur walls.....

Google Talk: Tips and Tricks

Google Talk has been my primary instant messenger for quite a while now. Here’s a short list of productive Google Talk shortcuts which frequently come to use:

1. Google Talk hides itself in your tray or taskbar, use Windows + Esc to open it.
2. While talking to two or more buddies simultaneously, use Ctrl + Tab to switch chat windows instantly .
3. Use the F11 key to start voice call with your buddy.
4. Use the F12 key to end the voice call.

Easter Egg: You can send a blank message to your buddy without an text. Simple hold the Alt key and press “0173”, followed by the return key [Enter]. You’ll just see a bubble conversation, nothing else!

Recording Voice Calls: In order to record voice call, we use Solicall. Basically, it’s a noise reduction application for online conversation, but it acts as a middle man in taping voice calls. It not only works with Google Talk, but it also works with other IMs like Yahoo, MSN and Skype. Refer this page for more detail on configuring Solicall for Google Talk.
happy talking.....

Apple's iPhone

Yay!, After years of anticipation and rumors, Apple finally made the big announcement on iPhone at Macworld. Here’s a brief list of features:

  • 11.6 mm (thickness)
  • 3.5 in. (width)
  • Runs Mac OS X (access to Safari Web browser)
  • Touchscreen display with multi-touch support
  • 2 Megapixel camera
  • 8 GB storage
  • Bluetooth with EDR and also WiFi
  • Quadband GSM radio with EDGE
  • EDGE or WiFi, the phone switches to WiFi when detected
  • Google Maps: Satellite directions, traffic monitoring, and normal
    maps.
  • Random access voicemail
  • Widgets: Weather and stocks
  • Photo album lets you scroll through images with your finger and you
    pan zoom in/out by “squeezing” or “pinching” the screen with two fingers.
  • The orientation of the screen (landscape or portrait) will
    automatically rotate based upon the orientation of the device itself.

According to Apple, iPhone’s battery holds 5 hours of Video or Talk,
16 hours or music. iPhone is available in 4GB and 8GB variants and costs $499
and $599 respectively.



Looks like Apple has squeezed everything into iPhone, I was shocked to read that it runs OS X and has a iChat like SMS application with onscreen keyboard. I was expecting a 3.2 Megapixel camera on iPhone, but 2 Megapixel seems to be a standard thesedays. iPhone users would probable carry an iPod, because 8GB is quite low when compare to high end iPods.

Now the bad news is that iPhone won’t start shipping until June 2007. European stores will get iPhone somewhere around fourth quarter 2007, It will reach Asia by 2008. Damn!, I’ll have to wait for a year.

keep talking....

Google Phone

Mobileburn forum revealed some details over Google Phone. Google has apparently tied up with Samsung to design Google Phone. This information was leaked by someone participating in the paid survey program by Google; he has uploaded a screenshot of the survey page at Flickr. The screenshot looks somewhat valid, but still the story might not be trustworthy. However, the spec seems to be quite reasonable with 3G, Wi-Fi, 2 megapixel camera and a QUERTY Keyboard.
The phone looks like a typical Samsung Design. This may or may-not be the final design (do you remember? Same happened before iPhone was released). If Google comes up with something like this, Apple will undoubtedly get a market rival. I bet the guy who leaked the screenshot will be fired from the paid survey program.
Gooooogle keeps getting better....
