Until recently, I had been trying a lot of broadband plans before it finally come down to my unlimited download broadband plan. It was quite a problem finding a good broadband service here and it can be a big mistake if you took the wrong service. Well, for me, I came out to be lucky and got the perfect service without much hard work. But if I have been asked to find a good broadband service again, I will not test the whole lots of services myself. Instead, I will have a look at broadband information providers like Broadband Expert.
For UK users, Broadband Expert is an all in one website which gives all the necessary information for various broadband services available in UK. It includes wireless broadband services with speeds up to 24Mbps and with or without download limits. And the most interesting is that, it provides details of almost all of the broadband services like Vodafone, 3, O2, AOL Broadband etc. There details of prices of these various services and comparisons based on expert views and user ratings.
So, you can get a good idea of which service will best fit you and serve you better. Also, they have their expertisation on mobile broadband thereby giving you more flexible choices on choosing your broadband service. Their mobile broadband services have speeds up to 7.2Mbps and download limits up to 7GB. Well, if you are in UK, I bet this is the most fitting place to go if you are looking for a broadband service.

It was in one of my site’s adsense ads that I saw about it first. In.com - the shortest email id you can get. In.com is like yahoo although it is for Indians particularly. The site is a very fast loading one which took only 32ms when I first tested it with ping. With this new mail provider, you will be able to have email ids of your choice (only if you rush now) with very small length as possible. Imagine how short your email id would be if it is like yourname@in.com. Well, there are many things I like about this site:
Firstly, Your email Id will be very short. As the domain name is short (in.com) your email can be a very short one. You can try yourname@in.com. Imagine how easy it would be to type your email. You won’t have to type lengthy ids anymore. This would make your internet experience comfortable and faster.
The 2nd thing is that In.com loads quite fast – Very faster than sites of its kind. Well, today I ran a ping test and the result shows that the servers are quite good and fast at the moment. Let’s see some of the results of the tests I made from Bhopal.
Ping Test result of In.com
IP Address: 123.108.40.13
Round Trip Time (RTT): Min: 66ms Max: 100ms Average: 82ms
TTL: 248
Ping Test result of google.com
IP Address: 209.85.153.104
Round Trip Time (RTT): Min: 115ms Max: 117ms Average: 116ms
TTL: 246
Ping Test result of gmail.com
IP Address: 209.85.153.83
Round Trip Time (RTT): Min: 107ms Max: 116ms Average: 111ms
TTL: 246
Ping Test result of yahoo.com
IP Address: 87.248.113.14
Round Trip Time (RTT): Min: 233ms Max: 236ms Average: 235ms
TTL: 52
Well, the server speed is quite good and loads fast especially for Indians as the server is in India itself. So, if you are an Indian, you should get an id for yourself because In.com is the best for Indians – Even faster than Gmail

Till yesterday, I have never downloaded a video from youtube. Once, I was looking for a youtube downloader but it never worked even after i downloaded the software. But yesterday, a friend of mine just came and downloaded a youtube video in minutes. I was amazed and said “Damn! What a Great Site?”.
Where does this “Great Site” come from? Well, my youtube downloader is not actually a software but a site. So, you don’t have to download a software before you download the video. All you have to do is to make a simple change in the url of the youtube video you want to download.
Ok Ok, just tell me what to do! Well, its easy.
Just go to the video page of the video you want to download in youtube. In the address bar, the url must be something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxxxxx is some random string. Now, change the url by replacing the “youtube” by “voobys” so that the new url becomes http://www.voobys.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxx and hit enter. Thats it! On the page that opens, there will be a Download button and when you click it, your video will be downloaded. Isn’t it easy that those buggy softwares that you have tried installing till now. Well, try it and you will see the difference.

Microsoft word 2007 which comes along with the Office 2007 is much more powerful and attractive than the previous versions. It has many features that just make the old ones incomparable. But one main problem with this new version is that it saves the files written in it in the .docx format. Even though this new format is powerful and has more features, it can’t be opened with the old versions like the word 2003 or 97. And this mainly creates a problem when you create a .docx file with your new office and takes it to a friend’s computer where there is office 2003.
Fortunately, there is an option through which you can save the files in the old format to make it compatible with the older versions of Microsoft Word. A simple way to do is when you save the file, you just choose the “Word 97-2003 Document (.doc)” option which is just below the file name. A small snapshot is shown below.

Another way to solve this problem is to permanently configure your Microsoft Word to save in the old format of Word 97-2003 Document (“.doc). You can do this by choosing the “Word Options” under the top left button of your word 2007 as shown below.

Then clicking the “Save” button on the left of the options window, Choose “Word 97-2003 Document (.doc)” under the options of “Save Files in this format”. Once you are done making these changes, your files will now be automatically saved in the all compatible .doc format.
