Yahoo's new Ymail and Rocketmail Domains

After a successful pact with Google over ads, Yahoo! is keen to stop users moving to other email providers. With about 260 million users, the yahoo.com email system didn't have many easy names left for people to choose from.

To improve, Yahoo! set up new domains, Ymail and Rocketmail domains.Yahoo plans to auction off a number of desirable email addresses related to charitable groups.

Currently both the domains are pointing to yahoomail and users can create mail accounts with the new domains.So get ur desired email username soon on ymail and rocketmail domains.

Firefox 3 Dowload Count hits 8Million Plus

The Download day set by Mozilla worked well with download count hitting more than 8million users worldwide.The exact number is being scrutinized and to be believed would be more than 10Million.

The nation with the most downloads was the United States, with 3,288,217 downloads, UK came in second at 393,211 downloads, followed by China with 228,370 downloads.While India alone had 139,097 downloads(I'm being a part of it).

At their busiest the servers were handling more than 9,000 downloads per minute. Within five hours the number of downloads for Version 3.0 exceeded the 1.6 million set by Firefox 2.0 in October 2006.

However DV Labs/Tipping Point reported a flaw that potentially lets an attacker take over a PC if a user clicks on a booby-trapped link.

ChaCha Search Engine

ChaCha...though sounds weird, is a website which offers a free 24x7 mobile answer services for people on the go.(i don't think this works in INDIA)

ChaCha launched its beta version on April 1 2008 and works with virtually every provider and allows people with any mobile phone device with normal SMS and voice capability to ask any question in conversational English and receive an accurate answer as a text message in just a few minutes.
Users can call 1-800-2-CHACHA and ask a question after the prompt. The question will then be transcribed into an SMS query. The answer then will be received by the caller in a text message.
