ePaperGallery.com – Read & Browse Old Archives of Famous Newspapers online

Posted: 25 Dec 2010 04:28 PM PST

I do admit that I get most of my news from the internet or the television, but I still cannot get out of my habit of reading the newspaper first thing in the morning. I grew up in Mumbai and now work in Pune. This makes me miss my local newspapers which I grew up reading. Also sometimes I wish I can look up old archives of some popular Newspapers.

Thankfully ePaperGallery comes to the rescue.

I could look up a few newspapers from around the world and specially from India. Also I could surf through the different editions – city wise on the site.
Most times we can read the front page of the current newspaper, but if you register and login I could look up the entire newspaper.
One good feature of this website was when I was reading the newspaper I could also look up archives of that particular newspaper. This was really useful and I could read some papers dating back to almost a year ago.

So if you are into reading newspapers and for some reason cannot get one, try out ePaperGallery to look up newspapers from around India.

Do drop in your comments.

Free Ram Optimizer – Clear up RAM on your computer for a faster computer

Posted: 25 Dec 2010 05:45 AM PST

Ever since I was not happy about my Laptop’s performance, I started looking for a small handy tool (software) for utilizing the maximum of my RAM efficiently. And that lead to the discovery of a really neat app (really, its just 332 KB) namely – “Free RAM Optimizer XP”. Though you will usually mis-understand the name and will think that its meant for the Windows XP operating system, however I have been using it on my Windows 7 Professional version and it has never given a problem.

The software is a small window which silently sits on your Taskbar’s Notification area and automatically keeps optimizing your system’s RAM usage. However you can easily disable the Automatic optimization and just keep doing it manually whenever you feel like doing so.

Don’t forget one thing that it just optimizes your available RAM, it cannot increase the RAM memory available. So be cautious while changing any settings otherwise it may lead to your system going dead slow.
