.tel is a new sponsored top-level Internet domain approved by ICANN in March 2006. .tel stores and encrypts a variety of contact information directly into the Domain Name System and may evolve to become a sort of online phone book. Launched in December 2008 to business and organization trademark holders, .tel domain names become available to the general public in February 2009.
After the land rush period closes on March 24, 2009, the price of securing a .tel domain name will drop dramatically. Though it stands to reason that the availability of names might not be as favorable as during the .tel land rush, the price per year for the domain name drops from approximately $150 a year to around $20 a year.

The power to speed up your computer’s startup process!
Can you learn another language in the time it takes for your machine to boot? Do you turn on your PC when you go to bed, so it’s finished booting by the time you get home from work the next day?
When Windows loads it’s Startup file, it attempts to load every program in there at the same time. Therefore if you have quite a lot of programs starting when Windows starts, each program will try and grab CPU time so that it can load.
Firefox gaining Grounds

According to vnunet.com, Firefox Web browser is gaining popularity, while other web browsers continued to wane.
The figures, published by web developers’ portal W3Schools, shows Firefox with 46.4 per cent, up nearly one percent from January, while various versions of IE, when taken together, dropped by 1.2 per cent to 43.6 per cent. Google’s Chrome browser rose slightly to four per cent.
However, as W3Schools explains, it is primarily a site for people with an interest in web technologies. These users are therefore “more interested in using alternative browsers than the average user” and so not fully representative of the general market.
