How to get rid of irritating Google+ Hot topics

February 10th, 2012

Google+ Hot topics intruding your privacy ?

Many users have found this HOT TOPIC to be an intrusion and is not what they have required and are considering not recommending their friends to use Google + because of this annoying feature that pops up in your google+

I tried going to chrome extension and using the adblock to remove this . Because of the lower version of chrome on my PC, the crx file that I download from the chrome store does not seem to install. I am currently updating the chrome and reinstalling the chrome adblock extension to see if it works to remove this annoying HOT TOPIC.

Have you ever wondered how to find that illusive email that you know was embedded within a certain date range in Gmail.

This is the line you must put:

This means any mails before the 1st Feb 2011 and after the 1st Jan 2011 will be shown. Do not forget to put the colon :

Also, the date format is yyyy/mm/dd

all the best

How to use Free DropBox Review

April 8th, 2011

If you are looking for a free 2G hard-disk that is hosted by cloud computing concept where you can assess your data everywhere on the internet, then you may think that Drop Box the free software is for you.

Review:

Here is the catch - What I don’t like about it :

1. If you are on a public PC say in the internet cafe and you do not have the drop box installed there, you are toast man !

2.If you share your files that you have in your drop box with your clients , they will need to install the same before they can see it. Most corporations will not allow their computers to randomly install software, let alone your working computer that you are allowed to bring home. This is a major restriction and means that drop box is not seriously positioned for corporate use.

3.If you put things in your public folder, everyone else gets to see it but wait, why would that happen if you do not want people to see? Most of the drag and drop these days do have a couple of accidental drop in. I have not tested the public option to see if you have any feature for you to safe-guard. Till then,  I would only use drop box for the not serious stuff like sharing pictures and photos, videos etc

What I like:

1. The gallery is awesome. You just need to put all your pictures there and you have your own gallery without having to sign up with some flimsy gallery website that has loads of other advertisements.

2. It has a nice link code that allows you to paste in your regular email and you do not need to have any drop box installed from anywhere in the web. As long as you can assess your link, you have it!

3.I like the 2G space as it is pretty generous for non commercial usage like photosharing and other non serious stuff.

Here you have it, maybe with better features coming, I may add more stuff I like

cheers
