Customers were furious, as Airtel networks went on a complete blackout today in Tamilnadu from after 4pm, almost close to 3 hours and at some places beyond that. I logged into my facebook account to see that my friends in Chennai and a friend in Tirunelveli, down south had the same problem. The reason for the blackout is still unknown.

Comments have been pouring in on the official Airtel India page, where some have expressed their displeasure on the incident. A comment goes like,

"what the hell is happening to you guys..?? a total blackout..! this is so shitty to have happened.. all of us are affected by this.. people arr not able to get or make any calls to their family even.. rage is building up here.. once this problem gets solved.. i'm sure lots of customers would like to have a word with your customer care officials... trust me you are not gonna like it.."

Throw in your comments below, tell us if this would have a negative impact on Airtel India.

Mark Zuckerberg - The CEO and Founder of Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg, The CEO of facebook also feels that SOPA and PIPA bills should be opposed.He says facebook opposes these two bills that will hurt the Internet.He stated this as a status update in his profile.Earlier Wikipedia protested against the bills. He was quoted saying

The internet is the most powerful tool we have for creating a more open and connected world. We can't let poorly thought out laws get in the way of the internet's development. Facebook opposes SOPA and PIPA, and we will continue to oppose any laws that will hurt the internet. The world today needs political leaders who are pro-internet. We have been working with many of these folks for months on better alternatives to these current proposals. I encourage you to learn more about these issues and tell your congressmen that you want them to be pro-internet.

The full version of Facebook's views against this bill can be read at https://www.facebook.com/FacebookDC?sk=app_329139750453932 .

Wikipedia page displaying the news.

Wikipedia.org the largest encyclopedia in the world has gone on a 24 hour black out to protest against the legislation by US Congress that could damage the free and open nature of the Internet.I was trying to get information about a person and this page popped up instead.

Well on clicking the learn more link at the page, i came to know that Wiki is protesting against two bills the SOPA(Stop online piracy act ) and PIPA(Protect IP act).These bills as Wiki and Electronic Frontier Foundation says would hinder the free and open nature of the Internet. The bill if passed will not only affect US citizens but also people all around the world.The EFF explains why at How PIPA and SOPA violate white house principle of free speech and Innovation.

You can also read about the bills at the Wikipedia page  SOPA and PIPA.

Well you can access Wikipedia from your smartphones and mobile devices as of now.

The battle of Smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy S2

In the smartphones section,Samsung has overcome Apple's Iphone and Nokia's wide range of Smartphone in terms of sales.The huge demand for Samsung Galaxy series especially the Galaxy S II is said to be the reason.Samsung's move towards Android is looking to be a boost for them.Samsung is racing to reach with Nokia to become World's largest Handset makers.The korean based company's sales boosted up after it started selling the Galaxy S II, Which has the performance and features to stand up with Apple's Iphone.Samsung currently has a lot of mid budget smartphones available.

Over the past few months i have been receiving numerous emails that declare themselves to be from Gmail office and are demanding account details so that my account doesn't get suspended or canceled.They came from email accounts like acctaccess.verifying@gmail.com ,verify.finishacct@gmail.com and a few more.I had suspicion that this was not from Gmail as they don't usually does send such messages or verifications.I never replied thank god.

The emails look like this

I would recommend my readers and friends not to respond to such fake emails that are used to hack into our accounts.Don't reply and save yourself from the trap.Google never sends emails to verify account.


The best thing to do is to mark this as spam and hope that google sees it and blocks these accounts as soon as possible.Google are you listening?

Finally Rapidshare is saying bye to its boring and tough captcha images(No longer will have to get confused over finding the cats),the file hosting giant announced the news yesterday on the website's news page.Even though they removed Captcha they have lowered the downloading speeds of free users too 500Kilobit/Second,and now Free users can upload files upto 200MB to Rapidshare,which used to 100MB earlier,

Screenshot -Rapidshare account details
New Changes:-

• No Captcha for Free users.
• Upload Limit increased from 100MB to 200MB.
• Download Speeds reduced for free users.
• No Time limit between Downloads.

Extract from Rapidshare website:

By eliminating the captchas we simplified the use of RapidShare's free services significantly. In addition, free-users can now upload and download bigger files (up to 200 megabyte). Anyhow, to protect RapidShare from congestion caused by automated downloading, we limited the maximum download speed for free users to 500 kilobit per second. To compensate for that, they do not have to wait anymore until starting a succeeding download.
