Wall Street Journal

I just noticed a new functionality on Wall Street Journal’s site…if you select a word, or phrase, or sentence, or paragraph and right click on it a new box opens up in addition to the default Right click menu…which shows the search result of the phrase you right clicked on. The search is restricted to Wall Street Journal’s online material only. I read about this kind of functionality somewhere but I cannot remember it now.

Anyways try it yourself…Wall Street Journal.

I am not very sure if this is actually used because I discovered it accidently as I never use the right click to copy things I am a keyboard person…but I am sure people who frequent on Wall Street Journal do use the right click.

Windows shortcut

Let us say you are going through a long listing of folders and would like to see what is in these folders but do not want leave the current view. This leaves you with only one option of opening these folders one by one but in a different window. In order to achieve that press the “Ctrl key and then double click the folder” this will open it in a new window and you can still have the current view open.

Yahoo mail is...

I moved to Google mail last year and it is the best email service I have ever used. It was at the same time Yahoo rolled out its new features which takes absolutely ages to come to life something that has annoyed me so much as I do log onto my old yahoo account every now and again…if you are running a moderate speed internet then be prepared to get frustrated as you will have to put up with a lot of crap…

Anyways…recently I tried to access gmail and discovered a useful feature…a service offered by gmail which simply gives user a choice to load a basic HTML mail interface as opposed to the normal one. This feature gets invoked if you are using a slow internet connection…good thinking I am sure there are people out there who do not use ultra fast internet.
