How to Download anything for free using Google

Rapidshare.de and Megashare.com are the sites which hardly anyone will be unaware of. These sites allow user to upload files but lack the basic functionality of searching the whole database based on the description of the file.

Here is where google advance search technology comes to rescue :

Rapidshare has a huge database of files as a considerable number of users connected to it to upload music, pictures, movies and even larger files such as games or important documents. Although the owners encourage you to register and become a paying member, Rapidshare is also available for free so you can use it with only one restriction: you have a download limitation, meaning that you’re not able to download too many files for free. However, the website hosts an impressive number of files and it tends to become a real encyclopedia for music and movies. Similar is the case with magashare also. But since you dont have a search option hence you can just download the file unless you have the link to the file.

You must be knowing two very popular ways of searching google with these keywords :

1. site:www.example.com hello - retrieves all the result matching “hello” only from site example.com , hence limiting the search to a particular site.

2. +intitle:technology - retrieves all pages having “technology” in the web page title.

Let us combine these two advance search technology to search within the site rapidshare.de

So here is what you have to do .

1.http://www.google.com and type in the search box :

For music

+inurl:wma|mp3|ogg site:rapidshare.de

For videos

+inurl:avi|mpg|wmv site:rapidshare.de

For archives

+inurl:exe|rar|zip site:rapidshare.de

For any particular file

(ex-spiderman in this case )

+inurl:spiderman site:rapidshare.de

The same can be used for any other site. Remeber there is no space between “:” and search term.

Speed up your internet speed by 20 percent

This is a nice little tweak to get 20% of bandwidth back.Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..).

Click Start–>Run–>type “gpedit.msc” without the ”
• This opens the group policy editor. Then go to

  Local Computer Policy–>Computer Configuration–>Administrative Templates–>
  Network–>QOS Packet Scheduler–>Limit Reservable Bandwidth

• Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will
  say it is not configured, but the truth is under the
  ‘Explain’ tab :

  “By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to
  20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you
  can use this setting to override the default.”

• So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then
  set it to ZERO.

  This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather
  than the default 20%.

• works on XP Pro, 2000 and 2003 but not sure about
  other o/s’s.

Full list of MS Office Shortcut Keys (Word, Exel and Powerpoint)

Have you ever got stuck searching for some shortcut keys for MS word ??Yeah !! I got stuck at times.

Basically with text formatting like Increasing font size (Ctrl + ]), Getting all Caps (Ctrl+shift+A) , Changing fonts(ctrl+shift+f), Apply superscripts(ctrl + shift + =) , subscripts (Ctrl + = ) etc etc.

So just did some googling and got a pdf file downloaded. I dont remember which site I downloaded this, but its a very handy guide. You can download the Pdf from here by clicking and selecting Download fileor “Save target as” in IE and “Save link as” in Firefox. Hope it will be of some use to people who are unaware of such shortcut keys.

Shocking : Cell phone Battery blast kills youth in China

A 22-year-old Welder In North-western China Died When His Cell Phone Battery Exploded As He Was Working In Hot Temperature.

The Battery Exploded While The Phone Was In The Man’s Pocket As He Was Welding At A Factory In Shuangcheng In Jinta County In Gansu Province, The Lanzhou Chenbao Reported, Adding That The Death Was Believed To Be The First In China Caused By A Cell Phone Battery.

The June 19 Blast Broke A Rib And Drove It Into The Man’s Heart And He Collapsed In A Pool Of Blood, The Report Said. He Was Taken To Hospital But Died There.

The Manufacturer Of The Phone Was Notified And Dispatched Experts To Jinta To Conduct An Investigation

Gosh !!! I have heard that we should not use the cell phones at higher temperature, but that could result something like this , I was totally unaware of. Even though the person was welding at a factory , I doubt that temperature could be so high to exceed the sustainability of a battery . So is temperature could be the only cause ?? Or the quality of the battery ??( Chinese )
I have checked my nokia phone , even though its finland made, the battery label states “Made in China”.
Anyway prevention is better and hence avoid taking your phone at high temperature places.
