[Imported from Blogdrive]A Quick Tip towards getting the best out of Internet -- A small step towards resourceful pearl diving

A Quick Tip towards getting the best out of Internet -- A small step towards resourceful pearl diving
 
No doubt, Internet has become part and parcel of common man today. Some of the most common chores that people use Internet for are:
 

Casual emails (instead of snail mail)
Quick and cheap voice calls to kith and kin across the world
A sneak peek into their banking account without the hassle of getting entangled in serpentine crowds. You may like to check out my recent post about this here.
Quick booking of tickets for cinema, travel and accomodation etc
Information search
Entertainment
Whilst (2), (3), (4) and (6) would go without much distractions either my the nature of the activity/transaction or by its design, (1) and (5) are expected suffer a little because of a lot of other (seemingly promising) offers and/or ad promotional materials that one can witness en route. The better way would be always have a quick todolist that would emphasize the tasks to be achieved and then go them religiously. No doubt, comparing it time-consuming and takes a little resource too. However, that should not eat away the primary objective.
 
I just thought I would just share this simple thought for readers who can best use the Internet as a valuable medium rather than just roaming around the websites wandering without much fruitful objectives.<!--

Faster Firefox finds it amidst a steady state of bugs too...

Faster Firefox finds it amidst a steady state of bugs too...

No doubt, the most latest version of Mozilla FireFox 3.5 is an excellent web browser with a great number of features like the following:

  1. Powerful and fast JavaScript Engine
  2. Private Browsing
  3. An ability to revive inadvertantly closed tabs
  4. Smaller memory footprint

Whilst browsing a news website, I just found out that even within a week, about 55 known bugs have been published in the new version of FireFox. Check out http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/KG04Dj01.html
