Firefox add on search sucks the most

David Solomon — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:57:16 +0000

There are 1000s of add-on’s written to work with the popular web browser Firefox. But when I want to search for a specific add-on it is hard to find.

You can easily find the popular ones but what I search for is not popular. I don’t understand under what term Firefox searches. When I search the add-on’s for Thunderbird it shows Firefox add-on’s.

I am so sick of this non sense search. Unfortunately, I am a great fan of Firefox.

If you are a developer make sure to change this simple bug, that will make the users satisfied and use more useful add-on’s. In fact I feel much better to search Google for Firefox add on’s rather than searching it on Firefox website.

PLEASE FIXXXXXXX

Thanks,

Skype Unlimited Calls to US and Canada

David Solomon — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:24:02 +0000

Many Skype Users know that they can make any number of calls in a day with the very low fee of $12 for 3 months. It was such a good plan and many Indian companies and international people have opted for this option to do business with US and Canadian companies.

Recently Skype has put a limitation for this. So the unlimited had changed to limited calling now, but again they market the service saying unlimited calling.

The saturation point is 50 calls a day or maximum of 6 hours per day which cannot be called as unlimited. Now they say it is a fair usage policy.

Here is what their website says:

Fair Usage Policy

Calls to phones and mobiles and Skype To Go* calls are included in your subscription subject to a fair usage limit of 10,000 minutes per user per month, with a maximum of 6 hours per day. Also, no more than 50 different numbers in total can be called per day. If your subscription includes more than one country, then this is the total amount of minutes allowed per month on your account, and is not a separate limit for each country.

When Skye wanted the market it gave so many things for low cost, now they are changing everything.

Still, Skype is cost effective than any other SIP services.Similar Posts:

David Solomon — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 21:36:54 +0000

Skype has changed to a new interface which might be tough for some people to understand quickly. Here, I will explain you the similarity and how to easily get use to the new interface.

As I have mentioned in the below image, click on the little icon on the top which will split the display window and the regular contact window separate. Then move Skype to your right side. You will have to do this only once and Skype remembers this setting and will give you this look always.

You can add a special note to your viewers including smiley’s and any URL. If you have a long list of contacts then search in the search contact box.

New Skype helps you to get better view on on the videos and conversation and notification the rest remains the same. post any questions that you might have, I will try to answer the same.Similar Posts:

Outlook Tips – Send and Receive Error message

David Solomon — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 22:46:13 +0000

I use outlook in everyday of my life. I sometimes� get the error message when I click �Send and Receive�. Outlook also gives the error code, I used the code and searched the net and I found no solution to it.

Finally, I found the problem not with anything but with the Email Service Provider. I use Yahoo Small Business account for my business email. And Yahoo sucks.

I switched the Internet service provider (ISP) but there was no use
I switched my computer no use
I completely uninstalled and installed outlook but no use

I tested IMAP and POP with Google account, it worked fine so far I never had an issue.

So, if you think your internet is up and running but Outlook is not working, it is 98% possible that your mail service provider has some problem. If you face this problem simply close your outlook and reopen it. As soon as you open go to the Outbox folder and delete the Unsent item. Then go to the �Deleted Items� folder and open the same email item and send again. It works sometimes, but not always. It is worth a try. You cannot delete the outbox item normally, you can only do it after you reopen your outlook, you have to be very quick to delete it.

If the problem persists, please wait. I had to wait for few days to get this matter resolved automatically. This step is only applicable if you were using Outlook successfully and suddenly if it is not working.

Shortcuts to Increase your typing speed – Memo Keys

David Solomon — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 11:52:08 +0000

I am not going to suggest a software that will make you type faster but there is a free software where it will memorize the frequently used word, sentences, paragraphs, signature and many more.

As a blogger it is very helpful to me. If you are a person using emails as a part of your everyday life, this should be a great option to save a lot of time and energy.

This is called MemoKeys. You can assign a hot key for each memory. And this only allows you to store the content using functional keys other than Cntrl or Alt or Shift. So your regular work will not get affected. The same time, When you are working in MS office application your functional keys will not work.

For example, if you have Memokeys running, you cannot use F2 to edit the cells in MS Excel. Not only this key, you cannot use any other Functional keys along with memo keys, you need to close MemoKeys than use MS Office.

You can download this program from the below link
