  1. Isnt this new? on Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.3 Released · · Score: 1
    The first thing i notice after the update is that,firefox needs to be given permission to conect to 207.126.111.225 through my firewall.Only then doesnt it resolve any domian name.

    While I got suspicious if that ip was a spyware on my comp,well its mozila's site - virtual-fxfeeds.mozilla.org = [ 207.126.111.225 ]

  2. Re:Boycot Yahoo on Yahoo! Allegedly Helps Beijing Arrest a Third Reporter · · Score: 1
    Maybe its time we started boycotting Yahoo? This would mean amongst other things replacing people replacing own their Geocities pages with a boycot message.
    I got a better idea.Instead of a boycot message ,why not post the article itself there !
    My page will no longer exist in geocities coz Yahoo turns personal info over

    You guys are lucky.You are able to flash ans play all discs etc.

    Would appreciate any workaround.

    There should be a way to get around this sort of problem - making your IP look like it originates in the US or somewhere.

    Yep.Would Anonymizer do the Job? Anyone tried a hack?

  6. Limited Availability on Top Video Sharing Sites Reviewed · · Score: 3, Informative
    Looks like you guys didnt know that Google Video is not available in many parts of the world.

    Here in India,Google Video simply gives a error Message- " Thanks for your interest,This service is unavailable for your region".

    OTOH,Youtube works fine.

  17. AVG on Microsoft Anti-Spyware Removes Norton Anti-Virus · · Score: 1
    Guys if AVG is so good, how come its a free software.......
    To put it another way,how could a free software be so good [ no pun intended],when there are only other pay antivirus s/w's?

    I used to think before ,since AVG was free, they wouldnt be updating the virus definitions as fast as Norton/McAfee etc....
    Iam surprsed AVG has earned such a great reputation among the geek crowd!
