Gmail - Attachment download
Gmail is smart, when you click to download an attachment, and while we are busy browsing to the correct directory to save and key in the file name, it would have already started downloading in the background, so when we click the save button, its just need to download the balance, pretty smart thinking by google guys.
You can also save time, by first attaching an attachment and then start composing the mail, by the time you have composed the mail, the attachment would have been uploaded, you just need to click send.
The best part of Gmail is all task are completed without requring of loading the page again and again, we don't need to navigate to several pages.
eg: other webmail, if we have to upload an attachment we need to wait till its uploaded only then anything else can be done, in case of Gmail, during upload, you can still continue composing the mail. :)

MANAGING E-WASTE Goripalya in the city is home to communities of recyclers
The crowded, cluttered bylanes of Goripalya near Bangalore's buzzing City Market might seem entirely disconnected from the sanitised glass and concrete of IT City, but they are inextricably linked. Goripalya is home to communities of e-waste recyclers, whose livelihood depends on salvaging the precious metals contained in computers, discarded by Bangalore's booming IT sector. Since there is no guaranteed and steady stream of used computers through formal channels, e-recycling is a small industry that isn't regulated; families of recyclers working obliviously — under hazardous conditions — in their homes or in garages.
Toxic substances
Waste components are "stripped" and broken down for their platinum, gold and silver contents in small workshops, with recyclers often soaking their hands in acid with no protection. They are also constantly exposed to toxic substances such as cyanide and sulphuric acid, released during the process. These e-recyclers have been working with an informal network of scrap dealers for about 10 years now, and although there are no reports of permanent damage to them yet, there are instances of discoloured skin, says P. Bineesha. She's Chief Environmental Officer to the Indo-German-Swiss venture, HAWA (for hazardous waste management), which began work in 2001 to provide technical assistance for treatment, storage and disposal facilities for waste. HAWA also intends to work with industries to minimise waste and find better technologies for its disposal.
Ways and means
When computer companies receive Customs exemptions for software, they are bound to dispose of the products in certain pre-determined ways: they either store the e-waste, destroy it in front of Customs officers or donate it, explains Bineesha. Most computer companies give it to agencies to dispose of, but while promising to fulfil these conditions, the agencies give it to scrap dealers who in turn pass it on to e-recyclers working in the unorganised industry. Over 8,000 tons of e-waste generated in Bangalore each year comes to these small-scale recyclers; mostly computers which contain precious metals that can be salvaged.
"We've worked backwards to begin with the computer industry, since this is hazardous," explains Bineesha, "There's a lot of occupational hazard and no machinery in use." HAWA is supported by NGOs such as Saahas as well as IT majors including Wipro and Infosys for whom waste disposal is proving a huge bugbear.
Recent media reports that Wipro was running into trouble over its e-waste disposal indicate that corporates have a hard time finding ways to junk their garbage that will be in sync with their corporate social responsibility programmes and general image. HAWA officials point out that Bangalore is a world-class IT city, and "the best IT companies want the best disposal; there's no reason why the waste generated by a professional industry shouldn't be disposed of in a similarly professional manner."
"We are trying to get small scale recyclers to use proper vessels and have protection; to look at how solid waste can be disposed of with precautions being taken," explains Bineesha. Plans are on to have a formal recycling unit in place — while this will not replace recyclers who earn their livelihoods from this industry, the hope is that the process of recycling can be bifurcated. Small time recyclers can perform the safe procedures such as dismantling and stripping computer parts, while the mechanisation can be used for the more risky processes.
Many promises
IT companies, both software and hardware have signed a declaration of intent, promising to do their best to see that e-waste is recycled in a socially responsible way, with IT companies also contributing to the upliftment of the recyclers. A nodal agency has been formed to set up a pilot project for Bangalore; unusually the Central Pollution Control Board will be looking at a project initiated in Bangalore, not traditional leader Delhi, as the trendsetter in this area.
One of the few players involved in e-waste disposal in Bangalore is Sreenath Shetty who set up the Indian Computer Crematorium and after eight years spent researching methods and technologies to facilitate recycling, sees e-waste recycling as a commercially viable, "golden opportunity". Shetty says e-waste recycling would generate a lot of revenue and create more jobs if they advocate a methodology which uses tried-out technology from Germany. Just buy it, implement in a short while and after investing about two crores in the first stage, the revenue generated per ton is expected to be between Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 70,000, he says.
Government clearance
Also in this emerging sector of e-recycling is Parthasarathy of E-Parisara who has invested almost Rs. 80 lakh in equipment for an e-waste venture that is awaiting government clearance. His plant is ready in Dobbspet on the city's outskirts, but: "My team is lying idle, I have a lot of machinery but I haven't yet received the permission," he observes ruefully, adding that, "Time cannot be recycled."
The synchronised working of these various sectors and interests - corporate, NGO, recyclers and entrepreneurs — will hopefully protect the small-time recyclers from the work hazards they have been unknowingly exposing themselves to over the last few years, as well as generate a successful recycling model which can be a prototype for other cities.

HP India - Support Service
We use several HP Printers in our office all are under warrant, Support pack or AMC.
First calling to HP toll free from an non BSNL phone is not possible, now that they have number 30306363, I have to try several
time to get thru.
Now when you have your call attended, you provide your serial number if the printer is under Warranty which 1 year from the data of purchase
we have no problem, in case its under Support Pack or AMC, the next answer from the person is, sorry your printer is not under Warranty or AMC,
Then you will have to say its under support pack, then they will ask you Support Pack number, from which vendor you have taken the support pack details.
After good 2 to 3 days they will trace our support pack details and they decide to send an engineer to the office.
The engineer will again take 2 days to locate our office, because the document he gets had address of the Vendor thru who I purchased the printer and not our address.
For an 4hr response time support pack the call will be attended after 4 days.
Only good thing about HP, is the engineer who visits the site, once you get the engineer to the site, then your problem will be solved.
So guys, when you call HP Support make sure you have all the serial number, support pack number, printer model, printer model number only then you can expect response from them.
Lucky we just have only HP printers and not HP server.

Dell Support Service in India by Females
When ever I call Dell Support number in India, if the call is attended by an female member,
then I have never got a solution, when its an male there is an instant solution. Why is it so, I am sure the same training is provided to all at Dell.
No I am not against female providing support, they are very good when you come to Banking sector but computing support I cannot give them any points.
Let me know if any one else have faced such problem, leave your feedback in the comments section.

How do I configure the default keyboard layout during login?
During XP installation had selected my Language as English (UK) and the keyboard was also set to the English (UK) while my keyboard was English (US), so it didn't take the @ symbol and I had this key in my pwd, couldn't login using that account bcoz when i keyed in shift 2 for @, it was taking ", got if rectified by updating the registry key below are the details.
You can change the keyboard layout using the keyboard control panel applet (start - settings - control panel - keyboard - Input Locales) however this does not affect the layout used during logon (which is by default English (United States)). To change this perform the following:
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload
Double click on 1 and change the number to your local layout (you could get this by looking at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload1). Click OK
You may also change HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International\Locale to this value however it is not mandatory to do so.
Close the registry editor
Logoff and then on again
Make sure you select a country code that has been installed via the control panel or your system will not boot.
A table of the codes to the countries is given below:
00000402 - Bulgarian
0000041a - Croatian
00000405 - Czech
00000406 - Danish
00000413 - Dutch (Standard)

These can also be seen in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\DosKeybCodes
You can change the keyboard layout using the keyboard control panel applet (start - settings - control panel - keyboard - Input Locales) however this does not affect the layout used during logon (which is by default English (United States)). To change this perform the following:
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload
Double click on 1 and change the number to your local layout (you could get this by looking at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload1). Click OK
You may also change HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International\Locale to this value however it is not mandatory to do so.
Close the registry editor
Logoff and then on again
Make sure you select a country code that has been installed via the control panel or your system will not boot.
