The known security tip is that, we should not click on “Remember my password” option when using public computers. If you would have checked this Rememer Password option, then anyone can easily view your mails/content.

They can view your content but can’t chanage the password if it is a website like Yahoo or GMail. Because you willbe asked to provide the old password to change it.

Here is the easy way to know the saved password for Yahoo and Gmail.

Most of the website collects the email id when you either want to see the contents of the site or download software or something from their sites though they promise you that they keep your email id confidential. You can’t trust all these sites and you will really reluctant to give your email id to some websites.

The solution is to use a disposable email service. There are so many service providers gives this facility. I found this one, PookMail.com , as the simple and best solution.

It supports RSS 2.0 and available in 28 international languages. It’s very easy, anonymous and fun! Just think up a name and GO!

In such cases the call centre person are trained to use “NATO Phonetic alphabet”. It is also known as spelling alphabet.

What is this NATO Phonetic alphabet?

According to Wiki,

NATO alphabet assigns code words to the letters of the English alphabet acrophonically so that critical combinations of letters (and numbers) can be pronounced and understood by those who transmit and receive voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of their native language, especially when the safety of navigation or persons is essential.

Conference talk is one of most often used feature in internet. Users wish to have conference talk with their friends and family online. Now a days most of us are using GTalk. One of the limitations in GTalk is, we can’t do conference talk in GTalk. This always force the users to use Yahoo. I still wonder why don’t Gtalk support conference talk?

There is a way to do a conference in GTalk. This can be achieved by launching multiple instances of GTalk. GTalk allows us to launch multiple GTalk instances (this is not being supported by yahoo). Do the following to get multiple instances.

Way 1: To edit existing Google Talk shortcut

1. Right click on the Google Talk shortcut.
2. On the contextual menu, click on Properties.
3. Go to Shortcut tab on Properties window.
4. On the Target textbox, add in the /nomutex to the end of the line so that it looks like the following. “c:\program files\google\google talk\googletalk.exe” /nomutex or you can simply copy and paste the above syntax and replace the original.
5. Click on OK.

Way 2: To create a new shortcut for Google Talk

1. Right-click on the desktop or anywhere you want to place the GTalk shortcut.
2. Select New on the right click context menu.
3. Then select Shortcut.
4. Copy and paste the following line to the text box when prompted to type the location of the item: “c:\program files\google\google talk\googletalk.exe” /nomutex
5. Click on Next.
6. Give the shortcut a proper name (e.g. Google Talk or Google Talk Multiple)
7. Click OK until you are done.

Now you can launch multiple instances of GTalk by clicking your newly created/modified GTalk icon.
