Can you eat a computer cookie??? NO...


When I started using the computer basically I never used the computer, I just used to open the Internet Explorer 6 and access my mail or some *&^%^&%$#^ websites., you know what I mean. Back then, when you don't want others to know what you have accessed through the IE, you just had one option to delete all the cookies and history from the browser. I just did that but was always worried what these cookies are???

Cookies are like a tag placed on your computer by the websites that you visit. It is more like a file that stores information about the site, the pages that you visited on the site and the information that you stored on the site like usernames, passwords and things like that. When you visit the same site again and if your cookies are still intact, then the website recognizes you and grants you access instantly.

These cookies fall into two types:: Temporary cookies and permanent cookies. Temporary cookies are cleared off as soon as you close the browser or a session but permanent cookies are stored permanently on your computer hard drive and even if you delete them will be recreated again as soon as you access the website.

You now have the option to allow or disallow cookies at will and you can play around with them. But having cookies disabled will greatly decrease your access speed on a website and just not that you have to re-enter any kind of information you gave in previously. Now you know what a Computer cookie is all about...

Firefox 4 theme - looks like glassy look is gonna rule...


Firefox 4 theme is out and its more like a glass bottle sticker rolled out for our viewing. There are lots of changes to the User Interface as well. Of course this is just a mock up which might be rolled out as early as Firefox 3.7 as well but this definitely is looking cool. There is a tools button on the top right corner and the home button and a gmail quick launch button are added to the tab bar which is now the top most bar in Firefox.

Several major additions and changes are being discussed to the UI for 4.0. Keep in mind these changes are farther out and therefore more in flux than ideas for 3.7.

  • Merging the LocationBar and SearchBar
  • Merging stop/refresh/go into one button
  • Adding a Tab-on-Top Option
  • Introduction of App Tabs
  • Expanded Home Tab Functionality
  • Hiding Bookmarks Bar
  • Profile Stuff
  • Removal of Status Bar
These are a few changes to list out. Head over to the mozilla site below for a clear crisp understanding of what you are gonna taste pretty soon and in the future from your dearest browser Mozilla Firefox 3.7 and 4.

Students can grab a copy of Windows 7 for $30...


In a bid to get closer to students and mean while increase their sales, Microsoft is offering a new heavy discount on Windows 7 HOme Premium for students. The regular price of Windows 7 is $119.99, but with the discount students can get it for as low as $30.


You just need to have a .EDU email id and they ask you to be an enrolled student of any college. The price they are offering is a sweet $29.99, which is less than most of your textbooks. There is this site Win741, where you can access this deal. First you have to click on the link that show the price and then you will be taken to a page where you will be asked for your college email id, that ends with .EDU.


When you enter your college email id, and if you are an eligible student, then you will receive a confirmation email in your email id from microsoft. In that email id you have the link to purchase the Home Premium Upgrade of Windows 7. You just need to pay the $30 for getting your hands-on this new OS.

PS: This offer ends on January 03, 2010 at 12:00 am CST. Get going guys.
