Airtel GPRS settings

This week i had a problem accessing the net thru my Sony Ericsson mobile. Everytime i actiavated Airtel Mobile Office, I just could not get the Mobile Office settings to my phone!

I trid contacting airtel customer care. As usual, they just did not know anything other than sending or recieving activation/deactivation SMS and price. The customer support guy told me to wait first for 1/2 hour and then around two hours to get my settings. Even one of the customer care stupid fellow told me that My little Sony Ericson Z550i phone can't be used with Mobile Office! Hats off to his technical knowledge!

After this waste of time, I thought i try on my own to tinker with my swedish brick. Just went on checking all settings and deleted all my existing data accounts. Then I sent an sms ALL to 2567. Within 2 minutes I recieved all the required settings including Mobile Office.

It is time to get some knowledgeble customer care guys and gals at Airtel support desk. Currently It is just pathetic support for a novice there.

I know what you are thinking!

Yes it is true. Researchers from Germany, London and Tokyo have
developed a method which can scan a persons brain and predict his
intentions.

By observing brain patterns and analysing them, complex computer
softwares and brain imaging techniques are said to predict what we are
about to do, before doing so with upto 70% of accuracy.

The technology after development can be used mainly in civilian,
medical, police and military applications ( may be to know your
girlfriends intentions ;) ).

World wide Free Phone Calls for everyone

There are many sites which claim to provide free world wide free phone
calls. But, Most of them are providing limited free call facility
only.

Here is the one which i found and provides free phone calling facility
to almost everywhere in the world. It is called Gizmo call and is
based on the same VOIP(Voice over IP) concept.

By the way, you are not going to get unlimited free calls. They say,
they allow everyday 10 minutes(Upto 30 minutes per week) the users
will be able to call anywhere around the world. I think, for most, it
should be enough.

You can reach gizmo call over here.. http://www.gizmocall.com

Note : Requires Adobe flash player 9 download which is free to
download from Adobe website. Also, Please leave your feedback on
quality of service in comments.

Njoy!

Free video conversion, all video formats supported

I just found this really amazing service which converts almost any
kind of video file to the other formats which we specify. And the best
part is it is really free.

MUX is the name of the service which is available for any online user
for free online video conversion. You can convert almost any known
video format to the other including avi, mpg, wmv, mp4, 3gp, mov, flv
etc.

MUX video transcoder is powered by Amazon, EC2 and S3. And for
conversion you just need to specify type, size, bitrate and frames per
second. MUX can also convert your video and send it to your mobile in
3gp format or your email id.

Finding Shortcut Keys in Ms-Office

If you would like to know the short cut keys used in Ms-Office
products like Ms-Word, Ms-Excel or PowerPoint, you can use three
different methods as follows..

1. Goto Help Menu, Select "Contents and Index" Item, Search for "keys,
shortcut keys" phrase. This opens a small dialog where you can select
which type of shortcut key list you want. Select the required type and
Click "Display" button to see the shortcut key list.

2. Open the menu which contains the required item and see the right
side of menu. If there is a shortcut key for that item, it will be
shown there for your reference.

3. Goto View menu, select Toolbars and click Customize... option. This
opens customize dialog box. Select "Options" there and Turn on both
"Show ScreenTips on Toolbars" and "Show Shortcut key in Screentips"
items. Now everytime when you point mouse to any toolbar button, you
can see the name of the item with a shortcut key(if available) for
that item.
