A new version of Fring (3.40) has come out today. As expected it goes better. Upon loading the new one you would notice right away the difference in appearance from the previous version, snapshot on the right. Having the little status at the top and bigger icon is cool. With the new version you can already edit your fring profile, change nicknames of your buddies as well and upload picture too. What I like most about it is the “merge” thing. You can merge multiple listings for the same friend in different social networks into just one contact list. It is also now easier to add buddies from your phone book to fring contacts.
We cannot be more organized if we write things down and mark our calendars. I have some options which calendar or organizer to use which I had tried but somehow I am looking for something more, with more features and with easy access. What I found was an add-on to my email client Mozilla Thunderbird called Lightning, a project name for the extension that adds calendar to Thunderbird. It is very convenient managing your tasks and calendar events right in your email client. Download it from here.
One of my favorite add-ons or applications that are available to smartphone Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is Fring. It is such a handy application that enables users to talk and chat using Skype, Yahoo Messenger (chat only), MSN Messenger, ICQ (chat only), Google Talk, AIM, Twitter, Orkut, A1overIP, SIP, Yandex.mail, Gmail notifier, Wefi, Facebook and Last.fm all in one single application for an ultimate social mobile device experience. Calls are supposed to be cheap and if your friends are also fringsters, the calls are free using your handset’s Internet connection! It has also a theme available for Nokia 5800 Tube phones and great ringtones for download.
It is my preference to open multiple websites at once in my browser. In Internet Explorer this can be done by adding the websites you like to load upon opening to the multiple homepages option. So how about in Mozilla Firefox? If IE can do it, so FF has a trick to add multiple websites as your homepages.
This can be done through the Tools > Options > General Tab > and in the homepage option, just type the websites and separate them with space and a pipe character, the (|), which is located above the backslash key, and a space then another website you want to be one of your homepages.

I don’t like it so much when something is running or installed on my laptop without my knowledge or without knowing what it does to my machine. You don’t like it too, do you? From time to time I check what programs appear on my program files and it was one of those routine checks that I saw “Bonjour”. I didn’t install it. I found out that it was installed on package with the iTunes I downloaded to my PC. I bought an iPod Nano for my brother and testing it myself, I had to install iTunes in order to save and manage music and videos, pictures, etc.

I have had this annoying problem of getting Internet connection through my wired LAN adapter. I am on Windows Vista operating system and using Dell XPS laptop. I had not had this problem before, but recently, I cannot connect to the Internet and my network status detected multiple networks, usually after my computer wakes up, sometimes even at start up. There is just one Ethernet cord to this modem at home, but it says multiple networks, not just two, private and public, but sometimes three networks sharing.
My quick fix for this in order to connect to the Internet is to Read the rest of this entry »

A version of Internet Explorer browser optimized for Yahoo! is available for download in several languages. There are several new features that are impressive and I admit they are good. One is the home page option. If before there is just one home page you can set, now you can add as many websites as you want for your home page.
Another noticeable difference from previous version is Read the rest of this entry »
