Windows Live Mail is Microsoft's successor to both Outlook Express and Windows Mail, the latter of which ships with Windows Vista. Microsoft describes Windows Live Mail as a superset of both of these consumer-oriented email products, and they will only actively develop Windows Live Mail going forward. Windows Live Mail is dramatically nicer than either Outlook Express or Windows Mail, and it includes a lot more useful functionality, especially if you're a Hotmail user. (This applies equally to msn.com and live.com accounts as well.) But Windows Live Mail isn't limited to just Hotmail accounts: This is a full-fledged Internet communications client, with support for POP3 and IMAP email, RSS feeds, and USENET newsgroups. Originally envisioned as an ad-supported email client for Hotmail users, Windows Live Mail has evolved over time and is now a much more impressive release as a result. The shipping version of Windows Live Mail--now available in a feature-complete public beta--...

OK. that's what we all do it for money… not every one right. This is probably the weakest area for techno savvy guys. They are not good negotiators. Many guys at the first instance smile and say " NEGOTIABLE SIR ". So here are some points:- √ Do a study of what's the salary trend? For instance have some kind of baseline. For example what's the salary trend on number of year of experience? Discuss this with your friends out. √ Do not mention your expected salary on the resume? √ Let the employer first make the salary offer. Try to delay the salary discussion till the end. √ If they say what you expect ? , come with a figure with a little higher end and say negotiable. Remember never say negotiable on something which you have aimed, HR guys will always bring it down. So negotiate on AIMED SALARY + some thing extra. √ The normal trend is that they look at your current salary and add a little it so that they can pull you in. Do your home work my salary is this much an...

As a developer, many time I wished to redirect user to a new URL into a new browser window. I wanted to use response.redirect at server side and open the new web page into a new window. But the way redirection works makes it impossible to open a new window from server side. The common solution to this problem is to use java script's window.open statement at client side and then fetch the new URL into the new window. To me, this is totally unacceptable while I am writing server side code. So I decided to write some code to do this. But before writing, I googled for the same. I found a good solution for the problem. I would like to give proper credit to the author, who chose not to publish his/her name. As they say a code worth one thousand words, here is the code: ResponseHelper Class: The ResponseHelper class does all the magic. It adds a client side script to the response which opens the new window. Use this class in place of response class if you want to open new window. Yo...

When Google's free, web-based e-mail service was released in April of 2004, it was heralded as a revolutionary new approach to the web inbox. Indeed, conversation threads, search, tagging, and keyboard shortcuts have changed the way many look at their e-mail. But because it offers a much different experience than a desktop client, Gmail can take some getting used to. Here's our guide to getting the most out of Gmail. Consolidate Your Accounts You probably have several e-mail address; work, personal, one for mailing lists and perhaps a throw-away address for various online services. Gmail makes it easy to funnel all your e-mail in a single inbox. Best of all, you can send e-mails from your Gmail account and they will look like they came from your other addresses. To set up additional accounts: Head to the Settings tab in the top right corner of the Gmail interface and click on the Accounts tab. Click Add Another Account in the "Get mail from other accounts" section...

I was just reading interview of Shivprasad Koirala (author of .Net Interview Question) with Times. He said many interesting things but the thing which caught my thoughts is his experience with Avanade Accenture. In his own words " when i was working in Avanade Accenture my salary was reduced because of not performing good. But i had actually performed , atleast i was not worth of negative salary, if not a decent hike. I felt bad because my hard work was not appreciated. I did not feel bad because my salary was reduced or the work was not appreciated. While working in Accenture i used to normally come late hours. When i communicated my negative salary to my family, my wife just said then what where you doing all those late nights in Accenture when your performance is rated so bad and I broke off because i had no answer to hidden politics. " Yes big companies have lots of politics. I always believe that working in a smaller company gave you good exposure and knowledge. In a ...

I was tired of using google's blog writer at blogspot.com. So decided to google about some free blog writing software. And on the top of search results, I found Zoundry Blog Writer. This is a good blog writer. I have yet to explore its all features. When I started Zoundry for the first time, I had to configure my blog account. I configured blogspot account. It asked for user name and password. Then it fetched all my blogs at blogspot.com. While writing the blog, it asked me on which blog I want to post my entry. I choose yaneshtyagi. It gives a wide choice of fonts that can be used in blog. For now I am using Lucida sans Unicode. Now I am using monospace font. You can change font color from a color palette. It also has spell checker. You can apply quoted blocked text also. You can also apply code formatting. That's really a great feature for me.
