How firefox earns money ?? The Earning secrets of Firefox.

Firefox, a free, Open source web browser. One of most popular application on internet. One of the highly used freeware software in computer history.
Have you ever thought how they earn money ?? How they spend that much time and invest that much money on development of such a free software ??
Mozilla co-op is the company behind the Firefox web browser, Mozilla co-op was started as Non-profit company, but now its no more in that category. They are earning $40,000,000 per year !! but how ??
With every Firefox browser we got the search engine toolbar with Google as default search engine for that bar. Here starts the earning trick. Google pays huge amount to Firefox for making the default search engine in that bar and for making the home page as Google.com i.e. “Firefox Start Page” which have Google bar. This deal with Google, helps Firefox to earn there 85% of total earnings !!
This agreement with Google will end in November of 2011 so they have plenty of money to continue the development of new and advanced version of Firefox.
Firefox also sells t-shirts, and such other accessories with high price tag at there Firefox stores, and people (like me) buy them because it feels great to have official clothing and accessories from such big brands.
People also donate to firefox for there development work, donation also plays an important role in earning money.
They also got millions of hits to there site per day, so there must be some sort of earning strategy there too. but i dont have any idea about it.
Read the post from Mozilla Chairperson Mitchell Baker’s : Beyond Sustainability. Here you will get some of the official information about their earning sources.
You can also download : this PDF. Its about “Mozilla Foundation and Subsidiary: Independent Auditors’ Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2007″ to get the actual fact and figures about their earnings.
This is how the firefox earns money and gives us the best web browser. What you think about this ? Speak up.

How To Change Your IP Address

1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen
2. Click on "Run"
3. Type in "command" and hit ok

You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.

4. Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter"
5. Type "exit" and leave the prompt
6. Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.
7. Click on "properties"

You should now be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection", or something close
to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.

8. Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties"
9. Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab
10. Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab
11. Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).
12. Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.
13. Hit the "Ok" button here
14. Hit the "Ok" button again

You should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.

15. Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.
16. Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings
17. This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically"
18. Hit "Ok"
19. Hit "Ok" again
20. You now have a new IP address

This only changes your dynamic IP address, not your ISP/IP address. If you plan on hacking a
website with this trick be extremely careful, because if they try a little, they can trace it back.

Know The Power Of Internet

We use internet for only chatting with friends, downloading contents from various websites.
But very less number of people know the importance of internet.
So u may be thinking that i know more! NO!!!
I was among the people who were not aware of this tool?
What is that?
Its a website, or a blog>>>>
We see tv serials daily. Why they make so expensive tv serials. They spend lots of money making
these serials. WHY?
Between the tv serials ads of products and services are shown and the maker of that serial is paid
in lacs of rupees.
Why a website is made?
It may be made for connecting with the whole world, for customers by their service providers,
or for any other reason.
But the main reason is to earn money. HOW?
Again, when we visit a website we see ads on the pages of that website. There are flash ads, there
may be text ads etc. When we click on those ads, the website owner is paid in dollars.
But getting a own website may cost us from 20$ to 150$. So what to do?
Want a free website!
Yes we can get it. Just logon to www.blogger.com. This site is maintained by google.
It offers free blog with any name. U can get a blog like yourname.blogspot.com.
Like i have created it. Just go there and with three simple steps, you are done.
Now u have to regularly post some good articles on ur blog so that people will visit ur blog.
Dont copy the contents from other websites because u will be caught someday.
Now for showing ads on ur blog u have to create an account with adsense, again maintained by google.
For this to happen u must have a basic knowledge in HTML. If i dont know about HTML?
Then sorry you can not do that?????????????
Just kidding.....
Just follow the above steps u will be able to do that once u gain much experience in this>>>>>>>
If u have any doubts just click on comments below and post your query i will try to solve it
Best Of Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I overburn a CD with Nero

Start Nero

From the action-bar select File and select Preferences.
In the Preferences window, select Expert Features(1) and check the Enable overburn disc-at-once
(2).
Choose a Maximum CD Length(3) and click OK(4) (*82:59:59 is the maximum value I suggest, but I have set mine significantly higher. The reason is
because I frequently use 99min 850 MB CD media).

For a more accurate test you can use a nero tool called nero speed test to see how much a specific CD is capable of being overburned . get it here

From the action-bar select File and select Write CD.

A window will appear when you have exceeded expected length, click OK to start the overburn copy.

Remember to set disk to burn Disc at Once, you cannot overburn in Track at Once Mode.

Create Password Protected Folder (Folder-Lock)

There are always some things which we don't want others to see in our Computer, Example:private photos, secret documents etc. So we need to hide them. Just attributing the Folder which includes these Files as HIDDEN does not serve this purpose because these days every person knows to view Hidden files. So why not Password protect this Folder? We do get Folder-Lock applications for Download on Internet but they offer only trial versions for free. So, Today I will give a tutorial on Creating a Password Protected folder in Windows.

Just open Notepad and copy the following code given in Red colour in it.

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==YOUR PASSWORD HERE goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}" Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

Do not forget to change the "YOUR PASSWORD HERE" text by the password which you want to set for your Locker.
Now save this file WHERE YOU WANT THE PASSWORD PROTECTED FOLDER as "locker.bat". A folder named Locker will appear in the same directory.(Refresh if it does not appear)

Click on the locker.bat file and it will ask you for the password for your Locker(Not for the first time, Second time onwards). You need to give the same password which you gave while writing the BAT file in Notepad.(Remember password is case sensitive) Now you can save any data in this Locker folder. After saving the data again click on the locker.bat file. It will ask you weather you want to lock this folder. Type y if you want to lock it or n if you don't want to lock it.

You can use the locker.bat file to unlock this folder as explained above. Have fun locking your documents in your password protected folder. Ask your queries in Comments and Don't forget to tell weather you liked this trick or no.

(Note: BAT files can be edited in Notepad so any Computer savvy person might get to know your password through the locker.bat file. So it is advised that you HIDE the locker.bat file. You don't need to hide the Locker folder because it is Hidden by Default)

How to convert Firefox into Fasterfox

We all know that Firefox takes a lot of Time to load when it is run for the first time. Today I will show you a simple way to reduce this loading time and thus turn your slow firefox into fast firefox.

You can slash Firefox’s slow load time by compressing the DLLs and executables. There are many choices for compression but I suggest you use UPX which is free, efficient and time proven.

1. Download UPX from http://upx.sourceforge.net/#download

2. Unzip upx.exe into your Firefox installation folder which is normally C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.

3. Make sure Firefox is not running then shell to a command prompt in the Firefox installation directory.

4. Type in the following command in a single line and hit return:

for %v in (*.exe *.dll components\*.dll plugins\*.dll) do upx “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\%v”

5. If on some later occasion you want to unpack the files, just type in the command above but add the decompression switch “-d” after “do upx.”

That’s it; enjoy the difference!
