Every statistic points to the known fact that, " We Now Spend More Time on Apps Than PCs ". This may not hold good for those of us who spend most of our day at work. Just like yours, my typical work day ranges between 12 - 14 hours, and a major chunk of that time is spent on a PC navigating business applications on a browser. Firefox (ESR for IBM) is what I prefer. The kind of work I do requires that I perform a specific sequence of steps multiple times in an hour. The first couple of steps are the same but the rest change depending on what I am trying to achieve. Those of us who encounter such scenarios when using Excel, turn to Macros. The time invested in recording or writing these macros is a fraction of what we save using them. So why don't we write browser macros? Or was it that everyone else was doing it and I was too late in the game? So I decided to speak to some of my co-workers who are big on efficiency through automation . What I found was not surpri...
Seems ages ago.. when I gave up on my 15 incher, dug deeper into my pocket and brought home the Samsung 955DF for around 13K (INR). Three years later I still do not have a reason to replace it. It's as good as new and seems to be doing better than when I first switched it on (thanks Displaymate!!). At 100 Watts/hr, this 23 KG giant still leaves me lots of room on my desk. Room for what??? Well that's when I got this crazy idea. Why not do away with application switching? I was hooked onto multi-monitor rigs from the days of Swordfish . Guess What! I plan to retire the 19" CRT and replace it with 2 x 20"/22" LCDs by end of this year. Currently I am watching LCD prices drop. I may not be able to duplicate what John did in Swordfish, but I do plan to have something like what Chris Pirillo has --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/lockergnome/454273055/
Since the day SnapDeal delivered the MMX A116, I have gone back to the XDA-Developers bookmark every evening hoping that someone would post instructions to root the phone. All of you would agree that jailbreaking/rooting your phone/iPod/Tab is totally worth it if you are a power user. On Feb 27, Abhishek Kumar and senior member made a breakthrough and posted not only instructions to root A116 but also a custom ROM (JELLYSMARTv1.0). I had anyways installed Lotus Traveler and that was creating its own set of challenges. So I though what the hell, I have nothing to lose (other than the phone itself, maybe). I would post that bit of research later, but I want to vouch for something that I found - The A116 is totally unbrickable. Yes, you can mess it up as much as you want, but there is a way to start fresh. Long story short. I now have a rooted phone that allows me complete control on what I put on it and where and I have a shiny new ROM (JELLYSMARTv1.1 - as 1.0 has some minor i...
