Quickly Fixing The ToolTip Annoyance

March 16, 2009 by Raj Agrawal Leave a Comment

A quick fix

Windows XP being the most user friendly OS till date, is packed with many annoyances and the ‘hiding ToolTip notification tag’ is one of the worst ones. I really had a hard time with not being able to see the Date & time by hovering my mouse pointer on the Digital Clock and soon, I found an amazing tool to fix it, the ToolTipFixer. It installs the tooltip fixing service that is always running in the background and it works all the time! (Download)

Circle Surround II Plug-in for Windows Media Player 9/10/11 [Win]

March 5, 2009 by Raj Agrawal Leave a Comment

I’ve tested this plug-in long enough (been using it since past 3 years) and have always enjoyed every bit of the output delivered. I don’t have to put an effort to describe this awesome DSP plugin as it has been well defined by the makers of the plug-in itself. This is what the SRS Circle Surround II plug-in is about.

The SRS Circle Surround II Plug-in is for use in conjunction with the Windows Media Player® 9/10 Series on the PC. The CSII Plug-in was created to allow Windows Media users with multi-channel sound cards and speaker systems to take full advantage of their system when viewing or listening to mono, stereo or Circle Surround encoded music, movies or multimedia programming playable on the Media Player 9 Series.

In addition to its versatile surround decoding capabilities, the Circle Surround II Plug-in also enhances the presentation by adding patented Dialog ClarityTM and TruBass® processing. With Dialog Clarity,  the vocals and dialog, which are often buried in many compressed media formats, are lifted above the rest of the mix for a more accurate representation of the original recording. TruBass extends the ability of computer speakers to  play lower frequencies by adding psycho-acoustic bass enhancement for a heart-pounding bass experience.

In short, the Circle Surround II Plug-in will turn your computer into a home theater by adding the same technology that is included in millions of A/V receivers by leading manufacturers such as Kenwood, Marantz, Accuphase and Theta Digital. Until now, there was no surround decoder available for the computer that turns mono, stereo and Circle Surround encoded content into 5.1 surround. This new plug-in gives you the ability to take advantage of the same technology that is used on ESPN’s live broadcasts as well as many premiere sit-coms including Frasier and Becker.

The Day When Gmail Was Caught Nude In Public

February 5, 2009 by Raj Agrawal 11 Comments

Oh yes, there’s proof!

It all happened when Firefox was on it’s way to display my Gmail Inbox, but instead of displaying the usual Gmail inbox page, the browser landed in Gmail’s FTP directory. I found it interesting to peep in a little bit, because not only is this unusual, it was also fascinating enough to give me an adrenaline rush!

What’s surprising is that Gmail was in this state for a long 10 – 12 minutes and generally, this could happen due to a couple of technical reasons. Oh and did you see the third screen shot? I wonder what were those for.
