So even Amazon finally has a tablet now and frankly speaking it looks like Amazon has done a pretty good job. The tablet named Kindle Fire runs an Android version and has a 7 inch IPS panel with Gorilla Glass coating, a 1GHz TI OMAP dual-core CPU, 512 MB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage. A plus is that you can store your stuff for free via the Amazon Cloud Storage. While there is WiFi, the Kindle Fire lacks 3G, an embedded camera and a microphone but when it comes to pricing, it’s just wow – $199. Sure seems like a winner to me!

Note: This is for Vodafone India users only.

If you are someone who texts frequently then I’m sure even you find the balance or Post Call Notifications (PCN) really irritating. Post Call Notifications are the balance updates etc. you receive after you send a text. I wonder why a user with a messaging plan needs balance updates after each text! Plus, if you are an iPhone user then God help you. Coz if an iPhone user sends a text to a large group then he receives that many notifications and has to tap each one of them to access the main screen. Agonizing, isn’t it?

Well I was looking for a cure for this thing and after a lot of digging I finally found it. It’s really easy and you’ve to just send one simple text and wow, you’re done!

These are the magic words:
Type ‘NPCN‘ and send it to ‘111‘.
You’ll get something like this in reply – “Hello! Your request for deactivation of PCN has been registered and will be deactivated in 48 hours.”

Mine was deactivated within 24 hours. Happy PCN free texting!

If you’ve been using an internet connection for a long period of time there’s the probability that you would have used more than one internet service provider. In most cases people go from using a dial-up internet connection to a broadband internet connection to a faster broadband internet connection.

I also went through the same predicament but I just can’t get my broadband internet connection to be faster. After a lot of trial and error I still couldn’t fix my internet connection and make it faster. I then decided to embark on a thorough research and these are the things that I did that helped make my internet connection faster.

Inspect Your Computer
It was very difficult at first knowing what was causing my internet connection to be very slow so I had to have to do a very thorough inspection of my computer. This meant I started going through my computer to see which part of it is outdated and which part is active. I also analyzed my computer to see if I’m using any outdated software. At the end I was able to discover a lot of problems with my computer and fixing these problems contributed significantly to the speed of my internet connection.

Remove the Clutters
Even though the speed of my internet connection improved after doing the above I still wasn’t able to achieve my desired speed promised by my ISP so I needed to take my game to the next level. I then decided to troubleshoot my computer to see what was wrong. In this process I noticed that my computer used to be very slow when it is booting up and after researching online to see what was wrong I discovered the problem was with all those addons and applications cluttering my desktop. I started uninstalling the useless applications on my computer and I also began to delete the icons I no longer need from my desktop. I also created 5 major folders, and then classified all my useful desktop icons and I moved them all to those folders. That alone brought about a significant increase in the speed of my computer, and it ended up affecting my internet connection too.
Removing the clutters on your computer alone can result in you having a better high speed internet experience.

Tweak Your Browser
After doing the above I took everything further to the next level by doing one more thing – and that one thing is the most important thing a lot of people need to do. That thing was tweaking my browser.

I first uninstalled the cluttered and old browser I had installed and I installed a fresh new browser. I also ensured I only have a few very important addons installed and that I’m always shutting down my browser properly. That alone increased my browsing speed significantly.

One thing I have also observed is that changing your browser can increase your internet speed. Instead of using Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer you might want to give Google Chrome a try. At the end you will notice a great difference in the speed provided by both browsers.
