Windows 3.x has come to the closing moments of its long life.

On 1 November Microsoft stopped issuing licences for the software that made its debut in May 1990 in the US.

The various versions of Windows 3.x (including 3.11) released in the early 1990s, were the first of Microsoft’s graphical user interfaces to win huge worldwide success.

They helped Microsoft establish itself and set the trend for how it makes its revenues, and what drives the company until the present day.

Most of us use Skype regularly to keep in touch with our family and friends.

By double clicking any contact in the Skype Contacts list will call that person. It is a nice feature.

But most of the times we double click the contact accidentally which will suddenly make a call. In such cases, it is very annoying. This auto call feature will disturb our friends so often; also calling someone should be in our control.

In order to avoid this, you can change the default settings and disable this feature; instead you can display the chat window on double clicking the contact.

1. Click on the Skype Menu Tools->Options
2. Under the category General, select General Settings
3. Here you will find an option called When I double-click on a Contact or use the address field
4. Select Start a chat option.
5. Save and close the window

Now you can navigate through Skype contacts without any problems.

He is also a dancer and choreographer, and has been dancing since he was twelve. He is also a singer, but his latest video, a tribute to musician John Williams, required a little more than his usual talents.

This Ball Clock gives you a fun and unique way to see what time it is. The balls on the top two ramps represent the minutes and the balls on the bottom ramp represent the hours.

Video Chat is one of the important facility which was missing in Google. So far we would have used Skype or Yahoo for Video chatting.

Google now introduced Video Chat in GMail. Yes, this facility has been integrated with GMail and not with GTalk application.

You can install the video chat plugin to avail this feature. This plugin works in all major browsers. I have tested this in Firefox.

This will definitely be a threat to Skype. But still most of us will continue in Skype as it has more options than in Google Video Chat.

The following video demonstrates the GMail Video Chat usage.
