Nokia N97’s Music Library Problem
Feb 4th
Here’s a simple workaround to the problem of going to the home screen when pressing back in Music Player. For this you’ll need the Handy Taskman (paid app), which I guess most of you use. I hope this fixed the problem at least till Nokia fix this problem with a new firmware. Ping me if you have any problem.
Find torrents the very easy way
Jan 13th
Do you get very slow speeds while downloading torrents even though you have a really fast internet connection?
It’s probably because you are not downloading the right torrent, I mean you first have to look at the seed/peer ratio, that is the number of persons uploading the torrent and downloading the torrent.
And the number of sites that give you torrent file are very large, and the number of files that you have to choose your torrent file is also very large, sometimes the torrent turns out to be fake which is absolutely frustrating after spending so much time and bandwidth on it.
Is there a simple solution?
Yup! Nerrot is the simple solution – Just type the name and hit enter and you get the torrent to download. It’ that simple.
But the obvious problem here is that you don’t have any kind of control or knowledge about the torrent. I mean you don’t know the seed/peer ratio OR you might be searching for something else — like in the above picture, when searching for Spiderman, I’m getting the Spiderman 3 movie file to download, I might have wanted game or something else.
Still this is the best/fastest simple service to download torrents and the results are also very satisfying.
Phish or no Phish

Are you good at spotting fake websites? Do you know what is the difference between the real and fake website. They look very similar except for some very small difference which many people are sure to miss.
This website is by Verisign which is an American company based in Mountain View, California that operates a diverse array of network infrastructure, including two of the Internet’s thirteen root nameservers, the generic top-level domains for .com and .net. VeriSign also provides a variety of security services ranging from digital certificates, and managed PKI to two-factor authentication. The company groups all of these functions under the banner of ‘trusted Internet infrastructure’ services. It helps you to know more about phishing websites and gives various examples which will help you spot the fake websites more quickly.
The first questions are simple and they get hard… even I was finding it difficult to spot the fake website.
You can take the Phish or no Phish quiz here.
