We are moving to new servers

Filed under: Tech news — admin @ 9:22 am

We have now decide to move to new servers soon, maybe within few days, i.e in next 3-4 days. These are some good news for me. I don’t suppose site will be down during that time, maybe not more than an hour. I just thought i would give you a thumbs up for this.

We are back after being Hacked!

Filed under: Tech news — Tags: — admin @ 9:07 am

Past 2 days our site was hacked. We are really very very sorry for that. We hadn’t updated wordpress to its latest version and the hackers intruded using old script. You must have noticed black screen with some messages when you have tried to open this site. Also if you have tried opening this site using Internet explorer, chances are that you must have been affected by a virus. So if you haven’t known about it, please scan your PC properly with some good updated anti-virus. We have now updated to latest wordpress version. Also in this process, site has lost some good traffic. I will make sure this doesnt happen in future. I was just helpless when it got hacked, but now the matter has been cleared. Once again, very much sorry for trouble this may have caused you.

Dollar value reaching INR 43

Filed under: Tech news — Tags: — admin @ 8:58 am

Past few days dollar is fluctuating above INR 42.5 and was a time near to INR 43. Dollar rise affected one of my relatives earning. He is in Oman and got INR 8000 more because of rise in dollar value. His currency is directly affected by dollar value. Waiting hard for dollar to touch 1 US $ = INR 45. At the same time cruse oil was hovering above $130. The day of $200 per barrel are not far.

Facing problem using Jajah

Filed under: Tech news — admin @ 11:13 am

I facing problem using jajah lately. The site isn’t allowing me to add funds neither make a call. I tried to make call from another account having sufficient amount. I picked up the phone from my end but jajah didn’t recognize it. Nor the call initiated. But my money was cut. I did this twice to see if problem was just momentary but still my money was cut. It seems jajah is facing technical problems. It recently announced that it is facing some technical problem and said they have solved it. But i see no signs of it being solved, instead they are getting worse.

The new Trend of Search Engines

Filed under: Tech news — Tags: — admin @ 11:08 am

Microsoft’s live search isn’t showing any positive sign compared to yahoo and Google search. Now Microsoft is currently engaged in yahoo deal matter. It left the deal table and now again Icahn again intervened and now instead of full acquisition they would go for partial acquisition. Microsoft has now come with an idea of paying users for search. This isn’t a new idea although. Just a new plan to attract few tit-bits of users because users search any search engine to get their desired result rather than to earn pennies. Microsoft really needs to go some good job in search algorithm instead of coming out with stupid plans.

Not experiencing Core 2 Duo

Filed under: Tech news — admin @ 12:46 am

Its past 2 weeks i am using my new Compaq presario laptop. But i ain’t feeling the way i should on my computer. My laptop must be ultra fast. My laptop has core 2 duo processor 1.83 GHz and 2 GB RAM. But i am no way experiencing that fast speed, seems like working on Dual core only with 1 GB RAM :(   Came to a conclusion that gaming on laptops at least reduces its performance and that too on Intel ones. AMD is the best for gaming. AMD just released a new brand, AMD GAME, the ultimate for hardcore gaming experience.

Using excessive pesticides can damage your DNA

Filed under: Genetics — admin @ 12:25 am

I just read an article at BBC which says that excessive usage of pesticides can damage your DNA. So, i suppose it implies to the fact that in rural areas where farming is done using excessive use of pesticides, must have been affected and gradually cost damage to their DNA. Can this be one of the reasons to mutation? (Mutation is a term in genetics which means sudden change in DNA structure in existing species, produce species which have some different characteristics and properties). This fact might be true. Also excessive use of pesticide has risen the immunity of pests and rodents and also decrease the per hectare yield.

Microsoft to re-consider yahoo deal

Filed under: Tech news — admin @ 12:03 pm

I am tired of writing posts on yahoo-Microsoft deal because Microsoft is lingering behind yahoo. That Icahn experts and all that is show off, why don’t they deal directly ? Its like you cant deal and putting third person who would proceed the deal.  The company is yours, its your money, so you must deal directly. Microsoft badly wants yahoo to compete against Google. But Yahoo is teasing Microsoft by trying out Google ads (Making Microsoft a bit jealous). At the same time Microsoft gets restless but still doesn’t want to raise its bid from $33/share while yahoo wont come below $37/share. Common, come to some point soon. It wont work like that. Both need to be lenient to make full acquisition possible or else, there would be some other sort of partial agreement.
