3 comments
 Insert Rupee Symbol on AndroidIt was on 15 July 2010 that the '₹' was adopted as symbol for Indian rupee and was expected be adopted within six months in the country, and within 18 to 24 months globally. But needless to say people still have have not stopped using 'Re', 'Rs' or 'INR' yet and the major reason for this is inaccessibility and lack of awareness. While on PC we can employ different methods like installing a font, copy-paste, or using unicode but the same is not so easy on smartphones. So, here are the ways to get it on Android.

Google Keyboard

Using language English(India).

  1. Download and install the latest version of the Google Keyboard from here.
  2. Go to Settings > Language & Input > Google Keyboard Settings > Input Languages and select English (India).
  3. Open any note app so that the keyboard pops up and press ?123 button. And voila, you can see the rupee symbol there.

Downloaded 90% of a big file and you need to shut down the system because you are going out but still want to continue the download on the go? Or the download was simply interrupted due some connectivity problems? Well, that's quite depressing and may encourage you to go out and suicide instead of starting it all afresh but don't worry as there is a workaround and all you need is just Firefox browser for whatever platform(s) you are going to implement this on.

Stop paying too much for a Smartphone!

It all comes from the philosophy of this idiom "Why buy a cow when milk is so cheap?". Well, there are two kinds of people. Those who think thrice before spending money on anything and those who don't. Those who buy iPhones are an example of later kind. And  I am an example of former kind. And for the former kind the philosophy of this idiom is absolutely logical and reasonable because they are the people who say, "Money doesn't grow on trees".

[WTF]Court orders to block 472 Websites? Workarounds are here

1 comment
Department of Telecom (DoT) has issued Court order to block a number of BitTorrent sites including Vimeo, GoogleDocs, goo.gl, KickAssTorrents, The Pirate Bay, Torrentz, etc to stop piracy and many ISPs have implemented the orders.

Well, we are among those who think free and open internet should be our birthright. We know our rights, what is illegal and we strive not to violate them in any form. But due to all the pirates around we are also facing this irrational blockage. There are legitimate torrents of software especially open source which depend on torrent mode. Vimeo is where small film makers can share there creative works. While goo.gl is just a URL shortening service Sites like Google Docs is used by a large number of people for their daily work.

So here is a list of some workarounds to overcome this silly ban and resume work.

Tor/Tails

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows users their privacy and security on the Internet. It bounces your connection over a network of computers to build an encrypted circuit and thereby protects you from snooping. And thus all the blocked sites can be accessed
