How To Run Java Applets Including Yahoo Games and Yahoo Chat in Google Chrome?

September 2 at 10:58 pm - Link

From the page: "We have been playing around with Google Chrome for quite sometime now, the browser looks pretty good and you can read our first impressions about it. The one thing that we missed about Google Chrome is the inability to work with Java applets and with popular gaming sites like Yahoo Games." - Shankar Ganesh

"Fast - I concur. I noticed that just after loading a few tabs. The interface is good, of course. Missing only the addons, but I'm sure some extensions for Chrome will be popping up soon. I'm impressed, but still desiring for more ;)" - Shankar Ganesh

“Hey guys - Need some help - What is the bounce rate for your blog? Mine is around 75%. How to decrease this?”

Interlink your own posts, give "Previous" and "Next" post links at the end of each post, etc. Helps :) - Shankar Ganesh

Thanks bro! Good info... - Aseem Kishore

Keep Top posts of your blog as a sidebar link, a reader should find the best content on your site with ease. Use a lot of linkbacks to your own stories if you are writing on related topics. - Ujjwal

Ujjwal - I've just started doing linkbacks recently...I knew it was important, but was always lazy. I have so many posts that there is always something to link back too! - Aseem Kishore

“Dear Apple lovers - can someone please please explain to me, why the iPhone has to be offered through telecos, instead of being sold right out?”

I'm specific about India, that is. Because there are no subsidies from the Telecos here. - Yuvi

Normally, devices are sold alongside a usage contract when the development cost is exceptionally high, or the cost of manufacture exceeds the price one could reasonably charge for the device. For example, in the early days of mobile telephones in the UK, the phones cost hundreds of pounds, but if you got one with a contract, you could get it for ten pounds. What I don't understand is why the iPhone has such a high purchase price AND the restriction to a single telco per nation. - Slippy Lane

I thought Bestbuy had them? - Mattb4rd

@Slippy - In India, I believe that subsidizing phones isn't legal (afaik). And it's pretty close to 1000$ anyway - so what's the point? - Yuvi

i think here it is something like a franchise, or an exclusive deal. brand protection, a lot of luxury goods manufacturers are particular about who sells their goods. and perhaps airtel and vodaphone paid something to apple for the privilege of selling them. i think there is nearly 20% tax that goes to delhi, also. burma bazar for you, my friend. and anyway waiting looks to be a smart thing to do, some glitches. - Gregory Lent

@Gregory - Burma Bazaar's a problem dude. Esp. with Apple stuff. Battery dud? I'm a goner. Anything else wrong? I'm a goner. Too much risk. - Yuvi

“What is the single biggest income source for everyone here? AdSense for me.”

August 12 at 8:18 am - Link

Adsense for me too. LinkShare affiliates are doing good as well, although not as high as Adsense - Shankar Ganesh

That's cool. I haven't utilized affiliates at all yet...something I really need to do. - Aseem Kishore

Brother and how. I've always said this, and sadly I haven't found a good podcast client that works significantly better. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

using iTunes for podcasts and then the "cover flow view". does any other media player on windows provide the latter? - Shankar Ganesh

Yuvi can share some stuff in Social Media room from time to time about Social Media applications? - Igor The Troll

I do not really test and try new application much but I believe you do! Thanks! - Igor The Troll

@ShankarGan - Ugh, every other media player *works*, while iTunes doesn't. When it does, it's slower than Battlefield 2 running on a 133 MHz Celeron. - Yuvi

@ShankarGan - I've tried it on a variety of machines over the last coupla years, and it never once was usable. - Yuvi

I can't recommend J. River Media Center enough. It's a fantastic piece of software that I used and happily paid for for years. If it worked with the iPhone, I'd drop iTunes and be back using JRMC in a heartbeat. http://www.jrmediacenter.com/f... - Akiva Moskovitz

agreed. it takes over the friggen system and is slow. Winamp (old version) rules. - Josh Haley

So far, Songbird seems good :) - Yuvi

Agreed... Too clumsy and slow. I use and love Mediamonkey. - Nikhil Dandekar

Yuvi and Arjun liked this

I was eagerly waiting for iPhone and seeing that price is 31K + Plan charges, I was quite disappointed. - Sudar

I can now give people the I-Told-You-So look :D - Yuvi

all these are rumors. well i had been to airtel center here in delhi, and they say its 20k. whom 2 beleive? - Arjun

well the official pricing should come out in a few days. We'll see what it costs then. I still think 31k is too much to be true. But with Apple and Indian mobile operators you never know. - Rahul Das

Will not impact my decision, I'll take it at that audacious price too. The only thing is If its that high, i'll take an 8GB one. Personally, i don't think it will be that high though. - Parth Awasthi

Guys see this: http://www.iphonehacks.com/200... - he says "Blackberry 8820 which costs $249.99 in US, costs Rs. 31,990 (approx $750) excluding the rental plans in India. So the pricing of iPhone 3G seems to be in line with the pricing of other smart phones." - Shankar Ganesh
