Tweak saved login passwords
Many a times we check “remember me” on a computer when logging to our email or some other account. When someone else works on that PC and double click the login box, he gets all the list of the email ids or logins, he can easily misuse them by pressing delete button on the keyboard. If it says there is password saved for this login, he can easily login to the users account with the saved password. Its a small tweak that people can use to gain access to other people’s account.
Intel prepares for 8 core CPU
After dual core which most people are using on their PC and laptop they have come up with quad core CPU which performs even better. But now they are planning for 8 cores in a single die which makes it more powerful as far as multitaksing is concerned, but do we need all that power? May be yes for research purposes and super computers but definitely not for home users. May be in the times to come!!!!

Tata Sky creates a hole in your pocket
I was quite happy with the my Tatasky connection until I called up their customer care when my remote stopped working. They asked to follow some stupid steps like change your batteries of remote etc. When I asked them to forward my request for an engineer visit, as I was not getting what they were telling, they told me it would cost me around Rs. 350 for an engineer visit. Well today when the companies are fighting to retain the customers, tatasky is asking me to pay Rs. 350 for some stupid engineer visit. Moreover, when I asked them to replace the remote, they again said I have to buy from the shop that again would cost me around Rs. 350. My advice to all new customers is to explore other service providers like Sun, Reliance and others before going for TATASKY, Say Tata (bye-bye) to Tatasky.

Internet explorer 8 beta bug
I was just trying out IE 8 beta, which is just released, although it has some useful features, but there is a bug in it.
