Drag Tabs from Google Chrome to Firefox

You can drag any link directly from Chrome to a new tab in Firefox, or the other way around. You can drag tabs from Firefox directly into Chrome as a new tab, but you can't do the same from Chrome to Firefox—unless you drag the bookmark from the tab instead.

When you want to open a Firefox tab in Chrome, you can simply drag the tab right over to Chrome—but to open a Chrome tab in Firefox, you need to grab the star icon and drag instead. The same thing works for both bookmarks and links—in fact, you can grab the link from one browser and drop it on the bookmarks bar of the other.

 

It's not exactly rocket science, but it's a useful tip for anybody both browsers on a regular basis. If you want to take your Chrome skills to the next level, be sure and check out the power user's guide to Google Chrome.

The Pirate Bay Admins Found Guilty, Sentenced to a Year

Administrators at popular Bit Torrent site The Pirate Bay were found guilty of contributory copyright infringement by a Swedish court this morning and sentenced to a year in prison, according to Wired. The guilty gentlemen were also ordered to pay 3.6 million in damages to several entertainment companies—a big win for Hollywood.The folks at The Pirate Bay keep their spirits up, responding with the embedded video and their classic sense of humour:

But as in all good movies, the heroes lose in the beginning but have an epic victory in the end anyhow. That's the only thing Hollywood ever taught us.

 

$3.6 mil wow, i mean the prosecution didn't even know how torrents really worked and the bay didn't even host a byte of the actual copyrighted material just the torrent files and tracker info. I just don't see how that can get them a guilty verdict but maybe i don't understand "contributory copyright infringement".

3G

3G is the 3^rd generation wireless telecommunication

technology is an advanced radio communication technology which provides high speed internet access and high quality mobile telephony. The technology enables simultaneous voice and non-voice data transfer. High speed digital packet switching networks are the source of the high speed offered by 3G. Compare to traditional circuit switching technology, packet switching better transmission bandwidth utilisation and hence higher data transfer rate.

• Circuit switching involves dedicated link creation between two phones during a call leading to redundancies and high waiting time.
• Packet switching data transmitting in the form of encrypted digital data packets through the least congested route/nodes reducing redundancy in the process.

Benefits' of 3G :-

• Quality of text audio and video communication would improve through real-time supporting technology and real quality communication, enhance mobility and roaming, high quality email and internet.
• Its enables heavy broadcast and data intensive service.
• Its gives strong network security.
