AppleGrew Apple Grew.
My friends and kinsmen sometimes ask me from where did I get this weird name – Apple Grew? Well I too don’t remember, maybe the Apple thing came to my mind from the Apple Computers and Grew? Maybe from the fact that apple grows! What has hooked me on to this alias is the uniqueness [...]

How to drive and some more on NFS.
If my friends see me giving advice on playing games then may laugh off their beds. Actually I am not much of a gamer, but I do love racing games. NFS is the best, but the recent Most Wanted Black Edition was verrrrrry tough to play. One or two bangs here and there and bye-bye [...]

Is Gmail safe?
Recently I came to know about a Gmail ‘feature’. See here. If u have an email ID as IAmCool@gmail.com then it is same as IAm.Cool@gmail.com or I.A.m.C.o.o.l@gmail.com. Point is that Gmail simply ignores the dots. Hence for all the metioned cases, Gmail sees them as only IAmCool@gmail.com. Now if I create an account IAm.Cool@gmail.com then [...]
