So are you regular on Internet, and download plenty of stuffs online. What if your internet breaks for a while. Ahh...!!! download the file again. I hate this coz I had a bad internet speed at my place. Every time I keep a big file on download, i see that the internet gets some issue and it disconnects, and the worse part that this happens when the file is almost 98% completed. :(

A solution for this, ummm..try Internet Download Manager a best software which helps 100 %.

Best Way to install Android Apps on your Mobile



If you are have a tough time searching Apps in Andriod Market/ Google Play. Then this is what I do to search the application and install it on my device.

1) Login to Google Play from your computer with the same id that you have registered your mobile.
2) Search for the applications that you are looking for.
3) One you have found it, click on Install for that particular application.
4) Similarly you can click on Install for all the other application that you want.
5) Installing doesn't start installing the application on your device.

Once you are done with searching, now in the mobile all you need to do is Open Google Play. And you will see that the applications starts downloading Automatically once after another and once downloaded it will install.

That was simple right.. I started practicing this as I had a very small screen and also the mobile device was very slow which made me feel sick...!!! So on computer i used to find the application in no time, and click install. Rest my phone would take care off... 

Hope this might have helped you a bit of your time searching for applications.

Yup you heard it right, we can install the WhatsApp on your Own Desktop/Laptop. However this is not a actual WahtsApp make for PCs, as till now WhatsApp has not created an application to be installed on a PC. So how can we do this...

Is your System Running Too Slow..??

Is your system speed bugging you. Is it running too slow even though you have a good system configuration. Mostly this happens due to the the temp files which gets created, or due to the fragmentation in the Hard Disk or could be the fragmentation of registry, the unwanted entries in the same.

Follow the below instructions and this should improve the system performance.

1) Cleaning up the Temporary files and also the unwanted registry entries. If you search online you would find many tools for the same. My recommendation would be CCLEANER. A very good tool.

You can download the latest version from here.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

Run the tool and it should show you an option to run the cleaner, click on the same.

Once done then click on the Registry option and click on Scan for issues, and later click on Fix issues. As soon this is done you will see a good amount of performance difference.

2) Run the System Defragmentation. This is a tool from Windows and basically it just defragment the fragmented files, which increases the Read/Write ability to the Hard Disk.

Defragmentation in XP
Click on Start > Run and typ "Dfrg.msc" without quotes.
Select a volume and click on Defragment Disk

Defragmentation in Win 7
Click on Start and type Disk Defragmenter in the search
Select a volume and click on Defragment Disk

Defragmentation in Win 8
Click on Start and in search type "defragment"
In the settings you will find “Defragment Your Hard Drive” and click on it.
Select the Drive you want to defragment and click on Optimize.

3) Delete the empty folders/left over folders of uninstalled Application.

For this I found an apllication named RED (Remove Empty Directories.) When you run the tool it will scan the drive for all possible empty directories which is not linked to any applications. Cleaning this also improves the performance well.

Download link for RED

Thats it once you follow these three steps you would find a massive difference in the speed performance, I BET :) lolzz.. or may be.. not..(actually you will find a difference.)

How many users can you follow in Twitter



The other day I created a Twitter Account, and was wondering how many users can i follow on the single day. I checked the Twitter FAQ, and it was mentioned that Technically i can follow around 2000 people. Also on a Single day i can follow around 1000 Users. Once we reach 2000 then you might need more followers so that you can follow others.

When I read this I was like.. What the hell.. what if some one keep spamming, or keep on following users wont that be irritating. So I was like the twitter policy is not so good.

Thought of trying it myself.. I started following people. Finally reached 1000 and got a message that i have reached the Technical Limit. And i was like..ahahaha no one stopped me spamming or following 1000.

The next day when I logged into my Account I was.. Shocked to see a notice, an Agreement that I have tried to spam and sending out many requests. I accepted the agreement that will not repeat it again. When logged in to my surprise I had 0 Followers and 0 Following.

Wooowww.. Thats when I felt good, that even though their limit is 1000 however still if you spam with no reason you would be warned and stopped. So felt that Twitter Policies are actually Real Good.

So guys lets not follow with no reasons.. :D
