Safe mode in windows enables accessibility for resolving issue of your computer. Safe mode is useful where your computers are not able to start normally. Below are the three fast steps to follow for starting system in safe mode having windows 7.
Step 1: Firstly, you'll need to shut down your computer and restart it. Before the windows splash screen appears, press F8 key, this will take you to the advanced boot options. If it does not take you to the advance boot option page, then you must have missed it. Restart you computer and follow this step again.
After reaching advanced boot option page, you will find three safe mode options such as safe mode, safe mode with networking, and safe mode with command prompt. Now look at the meaning of these options. First one that "Safe Mode" stands for a default option, it is one of the best options to use, since it will load merely the steps you need go through. "Safe Mode with Networking" loads those processes, which are needed for running windows, and it requires internet access. "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" starts only those processes, which are required for starting Windows and subsequently open command prompt.
Command Prompt enables you to solve the window problems, executes batch files etc.

Step 2: for all these options, you will have to make use of keyboard keys to select the option and press enter.
Step 3: Make sure that whenever you want, any troubleshooting, you must log in as Administrator. After finishing troubleshooting, restart your computer.

Google Voice search was available as a standalone application for Android phones, however it's now integrated into the search bar and is a feature in Google.com . This feature is available in US at the moment, not sure when it'll be rolled out for other local search engines yet.
You'll see a small microphone symbol within Googles search bar, pressing it will start recording your voice and the content you speak will be used as 'Search Query'.

The accuracy is higher when you speak with the microphone held close to you, and also I noticed that it kinda shuts down Chrome (as I've tested it only on Chrome as of now), when you speak a lot of content, what I mean is, if the search query is too long the browser kinda hangs.
I'll verify this in sometime and update if it was just a coincidence that my browser hung up on me, or if it's a real problem with the new 'Google's Voice Search'. It's possible that it might just be a browser issue or my internet service provider issue that's acting up on me. I'll verify this in sometime and report back again.
Till then, I guess you can enjoy the 'Voice / Speech Search' Google's offering

The newly released official version of Skype App for Smartphone operating on Android has introduced free Skype-to-Skype calling enabled with the facility of very cheap internal VoIP and domestic calls. However, this is possible only for the Skype users who use Wi-Fi within the United States.

Thus, there is no need to root your phone to the Skype 3G support with hacked version. Users can enjoy calling through Skype on Wi-Fi as well as 3G by downloading the below mentioned hacked version of Skype for their Android application: Skype.apk
Hacked version of Skype app on Android-based devices can be installed by following these simple steps:

Selected few FaceBook users were offered the new FaceBook chat sidebar feature earlier this month. As mentioned earlier not everyone have got the invites and screen space is one of the main reasons for it.
A majority of those who decided to shift over to the new Facebook chat feature seem to have more complaints than praises. I too tried the new feature and there are a lot of short comings, but it might just be the beginning and FB, in future, may update / upgrade it, hence it's too early to take a call.
Disadvantages of new Facebook chat feature are:

• It takes up considerable space. A manual option to 'Hide Sidebar' is available, but you need to hide the sidebar every time you launch it, unlike in the old one.
• If you are one of those who have a lot of friends online all the time, you surely will not like the new chat sidebar. It shows a list of 20 – 25 online friends with who you interact most. There is no explanation as to how the rest of your online friends will be listed, hope it's not another scroll bar to see the rest !
• I don't understand why is it imperative to show the list of friends who I chat with most ? Since chat and my friends are personal to me, will I not be aware of it ?
• The new design is very confusing when compared to the old chat feature. In the old one all those friends who were online were listed first, this made the task easier to scroll through the list and chat with whoever I wanted. The new one lists my friends in alphabetical order, and it has nothing to do with whether they are online or not, which confuses me as I have to first search for the name and then check if they are online. How cool is that !!

My advice to Facebook is- they should consult Steve Jobs of Apple before they come up with a new feature and functionality design (pun intended ).
Can I remove the new FaceBook chat feature and revert back to the old one ?
I really want to, but unfortunately there's nothing listed on how to revert back to old chat on FaceBook . Those who upgraded to the new Facebook sidebar chat are stuck with it for a while now !
I'll update this page when I find a suitable solution or when Facebook decides to tell us how ! Meanwhile, if you figure out how to disable the new sidebar chat and enable old chat, please let me know via comments section.

If you too hate the new Facebook Chat Sidebar, you can like the FaceBook community page here and let the FB team know that you do not like it, may be they'll take some measures to set it right.
