Today morning while browsing on Firefox, I found a new trick to quickly open new tabs. May be you would already be knowing about it, but for me it was new and I thought I would also share it with you in case you didn’t know about.
I accidently doubled clicked at the empty area in my tab bar (mostly its full), and suddenly a new tab opened. At first, I thought I must have used to key combination for that. But again when I double clicked in that area, another new tab opened. Till now I’ve using the Ctrl + T key combination to open new tabs, but I guess this new trick will help me open tabs more quickly!

iNetwork Test is a small tool that can test your iPhone network speed. You can test how your EDGE or WiFi network speed compares to others across the country.
You can visit the iNetwork Test website from your iPhone to test how fast is your network. This tool works directly through iPhone, so you get pretty accurate results. Apparently, I went to that site from my PC and tested my connection speed. It showed my speed, and said that this is not an iPhone.

Windows Vista has a very nice feature of showing various balloon notifications in the bottom right corner of your desktop in the taskbar. These balloon tips can be off Automatic Update, security reminders, anti-virus updates, speech balloon announcements or other system updates.
