It’s from my experience,

Sometimes back I posted about my experience of Google’s Social Networking Google+,

& Suddenly my Facebook Post Disappeared from my profile page…

What a hell….!!!

Then I posted it twice…!!!

& Thrice it disappeared again…!!!

So I got to know that culprit is Zuckerberg itself…!!!

Is it a good scene that somebody moderate our own profile & posts I am not talking about obscene posts but or we are not just allowed to post about their rivals on their network site?

I think this is Bad & ugly face of Online Social Networking.

Sometimes I feel I should stop using it… Leaving security issues of Facebook behind…

What You Think???

Thanks & Regards

Idea of working for ‘FREE’ & getting no money or any sort of monetary returns for your valuable work is like insulting yourself for no reason.

There are few reasons that will teach you to value your work & don’t allow other to thought that your services are worthless, & give them a mind set that they can tear you down at anytime from work,

I have jot down the points that why You should not or never work for free even if it’s for your best friends’ startup business….

Keep this in Mind:
When you work for ‘FREE’

• Your client thinks your work is that shit which available free at open market
• So he thinks your work fetch no values
• Working for free never saves somebody’s money but it allows the user or your dumb client to insult you back
• Person for whom you are working for free has no value of your work so he has no value of your time as they say, ‘Time is Money’
• Person for whom you are working for free will always unavailable for meetings or he will reschedule a meeting after commencement of meeting for no reason because he has no time or to show that he is busy with something more important than your time
• If you are investing your Valuable time, Valuable Work, Talent & Expertise divided by FREE value i.e. Zero Value Fetches Zero Value Itself with no returns… Try this Equation, (Your Work + Your Time + Your Expertise) / Available for FREE = ZERO Value
• Never believe in person who says work for free on my job you may not get money but you will get name & publicity… This is the shit idea of client who wants his shit work to be done for same no value…
• Never believe in a person with superior authority perhaps a MBA Graduate who says just do this work & mail it to me ASAP. What he really means is “You being a designer will never get the credit”, “I have done MBA & you are my resource”. I would just suggest you in this situate to talk with CEO or COO instead of your company as he may be having more value of said job
• It’e always best being strict to say NO to person than accepting a same free job for no reason
• I have one experience one person saying to me that this is social work so that you should design my website for free or no charge
• BTW value other’s work too…

So it shows working for FREE as a Student & Professional is no smart decision.

Hope it helps…

Thanks & Regards

From my childhood I am living in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. And definitely I have saw pretty much of North – South – Center – & West of India i.e. I have saw states like Delhi, South India (Kerala, Karnataka, Tamilnadu) – Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh & Rajasthan & Gujarath.

I have observed two main habits of mainly Hindus living mainly in Indian State called Maharashtra.

(I don’t want to insult here anybody as I am from Maharashtra, India Only & I love My Country & My Countrymen)

First Thing:
Whenever A Person Goes to Temple he only drops ‘One Ruppi’ coin in ‘Dan Peti’ i.e. Donation Box.

Second Thing:
A Person will never buy original article or artistry product like painting, music cd, to support artist or he even may not know that the same artist is living in his neighborhood, He will say “His voice is too loud” & he will close his door without even recognizing him

Declaration & Another Third Observation:
But with the modern time every human being in India & Maharashtra is changing & adopting rational & things related to Hindusthani Civilization & Sanskruti…

& I am starting from Myself I have started to buy Audio CDs of all Prominent & Young Artist to support them & spend my mornings & day with the new Musical Notes & their voices & songs & words.

& I have even started donating good amount of money to Temples so that through them I have started supporting temple activities & religion that is present for more than last 5000 Years

& I am proud of It…!!!

Thanks & Regards

I can say one thing I am using You Broadband Aka You Telecom Aka Iqara for last 2 to 3 years, But I have to say I faced worst problems of internet cut, cable cut, no internet, slow speed internet every twice a week from their service connection to me.

I never saw the week without any problem or hiccup from You Broadband’s Internet connection.

Their local service is in hands of brats who don’t know what they are talking they never have ready answer or solution to problem, they use worst language of uneducated type that you say f**k Who appointed you to that position?

Only good thing about You Broadband is that they have good ‘Call Center’ Support it is what you need to report the problem to them…

I would say don’t use ‘You Broadband’

I have decided now I will switch to MTNL Triband now for sure…!!!

Thanks & Regards

I use iChat for two accounts of mine, one for GMail & another with Yahoo!

After some while using ichat I found that iChat annoys you with asking for your respective account password again & again… Even if you have stored the same password in keychain.

But I have found work around for this problem…

While holding the ‘Option’ button on keyboard go to Finder’s ‘Menu Bar’ click ‘Go’

You will see your library folder,

Delete Cache folder from that Library folder, then after rebooting clear Trash

Now, Use Disk Utility to Verify & Repair your Macintosh HD’s Disk Permissions…!!!

Your Problem with iChat will be solved…

Thanks & Regards

Applications takes long time to open on Mac OSX 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 As HDD takes long time to wake up from sleep.

I have iMac & 2 External Hard Drives, one for Time Machine Backup which is powered by USB only but my 2nd External Hard drive takes lot of time to wake from sleep as it is powered by external electrical outlet & connected to mac by FireWire 800.

I found that opening any daily routine applications like iCal, Pages, Keynote or even saving file in Photoshop takes lot of time to finished the job…

So the solution is in Preferences’ Energy Saver Panel, Just unchecking the ‘Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible’ will prevent any hard drive attached to your mac going to sleep.

So Now, After unchecking the desired check box in Energy Saver Panel every applications opens more quickly & it smoothans the workflow on Mac…

As with iPhone & iPad… Apple & Yahoo! now give Yahoo! Mail with IMAP on Mac OSX Lion Desktop with Apple’s desktop mail client ‘Apple Mail 5.0’ & up…

Really It’s finally there where we don’t have to login to yahoo web mail through safari or firefox… Now Yahoo Mail is delivered to your desktop…

YoooooHooooooo…..!!!! Or Just Yahoo!

Here is the screenshot:
