Have you ever thought how they earn money ?? How they spend that much time and invest that much money on development of such a free software ??

Mozilla co-op is the company behind the Firefox web browser, Mozilla co-op was started as Non-profit company, but now its no more in that category. They are earning $40,000,000 per year !! but how ??

With every Firefox browser we got the search engine toolbar with Google as default search engine for that bar. Here starts the earning trick. Google pays huge amount to Firefox for making the default search engine in that bar and for making the home page as Google.com i.e. “Firefox Start Page” which have Google bar. This deal with Google, helps Firefox to earn there 85% of total earnings !!
This agreement with Google will end in November of 2011 so they have plenty of money to continue the development of new and advanced version of Firefox.

Firefox also sells t-shirts, and such other accessories with high price tag at there Firefox stores, and people (like me) buy them because it feels great to have official clothing and accessories from such big brands.

People also donate to firefox for there development work, donation also plays an important role in earning money.

They also got millions of hits to there site per day, so there must be some sort of earning strategy there too. but i dont have any idea about it.

Read the post from Mozilla Chairperson Mitchell Baker’s : Beyond Sustainability. Here you will get some of the official information about their earning sources.

You can also download : this PDF. Its about “Mozilla Foundation and Subsidiary: Independent Auditors’ Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2007″ to get the actual fact and figures about their earnings.

This is how the firefox earns money and gives us the best web browser. What you think about this ? Speak up.

I received many e-mails through the contact page about how to increase the speed of this UL750 plan. Even on Orkut many people ask me how to speed up the connection of BSNL.

Today i am not going to tell you any secret or something different here.I will give you few details about how BSNL or any ISP (Internet service provider) calculate the speed of there connections.

According to plan specifications of 750 UL plan, it is provided that the plan will provide bandwidth of 256kbps (note the small kbps).Means you will get the speed around 32KBps (now note the capital KBps).

If you are aware of storage conventions and about the TB,GB,KB,kb etc. Then you must ware of the table below.

Data conversion table :
Bite: 8 bits = 1 byte
Bytes: 1024 bytes = 1 KB
Kilobytes: 1024 KB = 1 MB
Megabytes: 1024 MB = 1 GB…….

The Fact :

So as BSNL is providing speed of 256kbps which is equivalent to 32KBps !! So if you are getting speed around 30-32KBps while downloading then you are getting best for what you are paying. If you want any such conversions in broadband plans just divide the number by eight. i.e. 256/8 = 32.

But still

Speed is less than 30-32KBps ?? then read on ..

1. Is your telephone line is ok ?? Check for any joints and if possible replace the wire with new single wire. Avoid joints.
2. If your surfing speed is slow then try using Firefox web browser instead of Internet explorer and use OpenDNS.
3. If you need any help related to torrents look at the following posts :
• Tricks to speed up uTorrent.
• How to choose best Torrent to download.
• Choosing the best torrent download site.

So i hope every thing is now clear…
But still if you have any problem or confusion let me know.

I am not a big fan of Cricket, but still sometime i used to watch the cricket. Due to IPL ,in evening time roads are now feeling the need of people.

Many hostel guys don’t have TV at there rooms, so watching the IPLis problematic for them, one of my friend told me to search for a website where i can watch the IPL online without TV.

So i searched few sites, and got amazing link to watch the IPL online LIVE and streaming.

Its official IPL 20-20 website, no need to use any other 3rd party software, just launch the site and get ready for Live IPL shots.
I think the website is designed using Microsoft Silverlight, i have already installed Microsoft Silverlight in my PC, so i think it will prompt you to download it.

They have many options like selecting the bit rate, if you have slower connection then use low bit rate option, else for high speed connection use high bit rate. They also have options related to commentary !!.

But remember, Watching the streaming TV or videos on PC using internet can eat up your bandwidth, so better to use unlimited connection like BSNL UL 750 or EVDO (India) for watching the TV.

Enjoy the thrill of IPL , now on PC too. No TV tuner card, no cable connection needed
