" Sometimes getting a little extra when you really need it, could help you a lot. That´s why Vodafone brings you Chhota Credit. So the next time you have to make that all important call and your balance is less than Rs 5, just SMS CREDIT to 144 (toll free). "

This is what Vodafone has to offer its valued existing customers...
Now u can actually recharge your Prepaid account Yourself withour going to the Recharge shop.. though only a meagre amount of Rs.10 only.. and that too when u have a positive balance of less than Rs.5.


Thinking whats the CATCH..Read this..

" Each time you use Chhota Credit, Rs 10 will be credited to your balance for a period of 7 days and this amount along with a transaction fee of Re 1 will be adjusted against your next recharge. You can make use of Chhota Credit if you have been with us for more than 3 months and have balance validity of more than 7 days. "

Well there's nothing written on how many times we can use this CREDIT at a stretch..!!! Notorious brains thinking of some money saving techniques??

Yes, you guessed it right --- PASSWORDS. Many of us store Passwords and Important information on a PC. Now a day around cent percent of offices, institutions, banks or any commercial organization use computers to keep a account and records of transactions, company details etc. With the integrity of information, arises the requirement of security, HARD CORE SECURITY.

Many of us use third party software like (Winlocker, Bootlocker etc) in order to safeguard the booting process of Windows. These software snakes the system in the booting process ask for a password to continue the booting process. Some of these softwares much smarter than they look. They send user data once the system has booted though emails if the user is connected to the internet.. Then what happens we all know. Is there any alternative???...

Yes there is !!!
GOTO Start >> Run >> type SYSKEY
The following window opens.:




Click on UPDATE and select PASSWORD STARTUP:
Enter your desired password twice in the boxes provided and finally clicking on OK saves the settings. From the next time you boot your system a popup opens (just after the Windows XP Boot up animation) asking for password to continue.

MY FINAL DIVE INTO THE WORLD OF VARIED BLOGS...

TechDatabase --- from the name it is clear that it deals with Tech(nology) facts. Facts which we don’t know or have very little information is my prime concern to bring in front of you. Technology Updates, Information and know-how on useful software (Open Source, Free and Paid), MS Windows Hidden Facts and tweaks and so on will be discussed here.

I know it very well that the theme of my blog (techDatabase) is not at all unique as there are many well acclaimed bloggers who write around the same theme (technology news etc.).

“ Its just like a classroom where I have joined late and the classes are going in full bloom. But as it says “First impression lasts long”, I would try my level best to keep my impression good to the teachers (the readers) and also maintain a level of quality and information through my blogs ".

I have been thinking of blogging for many days but I was delaying due to some problem. Finally here I am in the vast world of Blogging...
