I don't know where we are going.

Recently I tried to Google about some PLESK problem.  Google has a nice little feature to suggest you some of the common phrases other people searched, matching your search query know as Google Suggest.

I just typed in How to in search box and as usual Google presented me with list of common search phrases people are searching, and I GOT SHOCKED.

Result of How To – ( 6-Aug-2010 )

Now lets go in a bit detail :

1) World's biggest two problems today are, IMHO, population and corruption. AND Google shows me that majority of people wants to know “How to get pregnant”

.2) World is now so health conscious that 3 of the top search results are about reducing and gaining weight.

More analysis later.

This is today’s results ( 7-Aug-2010 ).

I spend almost half of my time working on browsers. So it is always important for me to make sure I can operate it as fast as possible. The best way to do any activity faster on computer is simply use Keyboard as much as possible.

So here I am listing few of the shortcuts I use most while operating in IE.

IE and Google Toolbar shortcuts :

Some of which I use most are

• Alt + D : Selects text in Address bar
• F4 : Address Bar ( Actually it opens Address bar history )
• F5 : Refresh
• Ctrl R : Refresh
• ESC : Stop loading page
• ESC : stops any animating gif ( I love this )
• F11 : View Full screen
• F6 : Move between Address Bar, Favorite Bar, and Browser window
• F12 : Developer Tools
• Ctrl T : New Tab
• Ctrl F : find 
• Ctrl N : Open current tab in new window
• Ctrl K : Clone currant Tab
• Alt V C : View Source
• Alt LeftArrow : Previous page ( Back button in browser history )
• Alt Right Arrow : Next Page
• Ctrl Q : Show thumbnail view
• Ctrl W : Close current Tab
• Ctrl E : Goto Browser quick search bar

If you have installed Google toolbar and want to reach its Search box, you can use shortcut below.

• Alt G : Google Search Bar

I have checked all above shortcuts with IE8 and IE 7 compatibility mode. All of them work very fine.

Hi All,
We all love this forward messages and we welcome them since they work as a little refreshment in our busy work schedule.
But we need to be little responsible and careful when we send this forwards to our friends.
Please take care of following two things to honor privacy of our friends who share their eMail address with you and trust you.
1) Always do bcc. Never send a forward using plain To: field. Everyone can see to whom you are sending the mail and he has access to all eMail addresses to whom you have sent this mail.
Use bcc instead which makes recipient list as anonymous.

2) Before hitting Send please spare a second to remove all forward information from the eMail which contains eMail addresses of previous sender and all the to,and cc recipients.
Also check if user's has put their signature at the end of mail or not since normally users put their mobile No.S and where they work also in signature( Sometimes these signatures are automatically appended by Mail server ). If signature is there then remove all the signatures. This is very important.

3) Let the subject line indicate Fw: or Fwd:
This will help recipient  to differentiate if the eMail is Forward or a Text. He can also use filters ( gMail ), Rules ( Outlook ) to categorize eMails as Forwards.
Follow this steps since they will hardly take few seconds and you will save your beloved friends from being victim of social engineering or tele callers or spammers.

Note : You can forward this eMail but please make sure you have followed above steps.
I have also published it as a blog entry in my blog. If you want to say anything regarding this please send me a comment on my blog or reply this mail.
