I can understand what will be your feeling after reading headline. If you are normal, you are wondering now. Because nower days internet providers are competing to exploit the users. But this facility is going to available only for Chennai now. This facility will expand to other metros of India soon.
The ooha India private limited using kiosk(small booth like ATM counters) infrastructure will provide this facility to malls,educational institutions,departmental store etc. They are planning to deploy about 100 kiosk in Chennai.That means, you can't utilize this facility to browse sites of your choice.These kiosk will only provide facilty to e-shopping. Also they are planning to start this project in small cities after completing their projects in metros.

What is openID?


All of us access many websites with different usernames. Since we are using different usernames , it is a problem to remember. Also it is not possible to get same useriID in different websites. If we get same usernames for different websites, it will surely simplify our internet experience. For example, I signed up many job sites during my last days of graduation. After completing my graduation, I tried to ‘sign in’ these websites. But it was impossible since I forgotten usernames of some websites even though I remember password(I used common password).
In order to solve this problem idea of OpenID was introduced. So OpenID is a open standard that lets us to ‘sign in’ different websites on web. So if you have OpenID, less usernames and passwords to remember and it also simplifies ‘sign up’ process. OpenID uses the method of identifying individuals that uses the same technology framework that is used to identify the websites.

According to the inventor of OpenID Brad Fitzpatrick, “Nobody should own this and plan to earn money from this.To help internet users must be the goal”
OpenID is becoming popular day by day. Microsoft,Sun,AOL,Novell,Yahoo,Google etc is already started to accept and provide OpenID. This indicates that OpenID will be a common name and all websites will start to accept it.

What is WinZip?


What is WinZip? Every one using internet and computer will surely see atleast one WinZip file. Are you confused by seeing WinZip file?
WinZip is a Windows based program that allows you to compress the files and open previously compressed files in the zip format. WinZip also supports famous file compression and archive formats such as .cab (cabinet), .hqx (binhex), gzip etc. It also opens other formats also but we require additional program to do so. But if we use WinZip we should pay the software author since it is a shareware. The files compressed with WinZip will have .zip extension.

How we can install WinZip
•First download the software from http://www.winzip.com/index.htm. Also try to remember the name of software and where it is downloaded.
•Then open ‘windows explorer’ and double click (Right click and select ‘open’) the software icon. If you don’t know where the file is saved, from ‘start ‘ choose ‘find’ or ‘search’ and enter WinZip then ok. Then a dialog box will open and click setup.
•Then a new dialog box will open and it will ask where to install. Choose a location and press ‘ok’ .Then install wizard will start. Then press ‘next’. Again new dialog box will appear enable ‘I agree’ and press ‘next’.
•Then you have to select ‘classic wizard’ or ‘wizard interface’. Better you choose ‘classic wizard’.
•As the wizard continues more questions will be asked, you select according to your choice. For difficult questions just select ‘default answer’ or ‘recommended choice’.
•Choose ‘shortcut’ in desktop and start menu. Then press ‘done’.
•You can find that when you drag zip files around in Explorer, rather than simply copying the file, you will get the option of extracting the file's contents into the target folder.

Welcome To Sajjanpur: Review


'Welcome to Sajjanpur'... Shyam Benegal brings villages back to the attention. 'Welcome to Sajjanpur' is a tale of unconditional love in which the songs, the laughs are there. This film is a nice peek into village we all thought had ceased to exit. Even though 'Welcome to Sajjanpur' tells a story about a village, this film never makes a problem to new cola-sipping jeans generation. 'Welcome to Sajjanpur'is also an open surgery to some our government systems towards small villages.
'Welcome to Sajjanpur' is not yet another story of boy meeting a girl, falls in love, then his father or brother comes as villain and some songs,stunts and sentiments in between the story. 'Welcome to Sajjanpur' is a story of Mahadev(Shreyas Talpade), a letter writer who wants wants to become a novelist.Amrita rao plays role of village girl(Kamala),a young bride who is waiting her husband for four years since her husband went city for earning money before four years.Film's hero Mahadev pens letters for Kamala.In this film Kamala is not completed her schooling since she pays price for the crime of being teased in her class. This silently makes comments on village society rules.Even though Kamala is waiting her husband Mahadev wants Kamala madly. 'Welcome to Sajjanpur' becomes nice game of mischief and love as the story reaches its destination.
