This simple guide will make things easier for those Hotmail users who want to create multiple or single email alias or aliases (also know as ID). Today, Microsoft has announced a new exciting feature within its Hotmail email web service called Alias. But, what is it?  An Alias is a nickname (temporary email address). Now, when it comes to sending email, a lot of users prefer to use different email addresses. You might want to use an email address for your work, another one for your friends etc. Now, with Microsoft Hotmail you are able to  send and reply emails using different aliases with your original and default Hotmail email address. Microsoft gives you the opportunity to have up to 5 addresses per year (max 15 aliases per account).  An Hotmail alias is nothing else than a disposable email address you can use for your own goals.

As you know there are nice tricks to search Google for file extensions such as videos, music, documents and even passwords.  However, the syntax and the exact commands to force Google (as well as Yahoo, Bing etc.) to search what that specific file extension might be a little hard to remember. In fact, it involves special characters and queries that, useless to say, need to be written down somewhere otherwise you will forget them right away. What you need instead is something else, a kind of extension finder which, by clicking a button, is able to look for whatever you need without all the hassle involved in the process!  Let’s see how to achieve such a result thanks to a nice Firefox extension (or addon) which is able to turn your browser to a real file finder!

A very irritating feature in Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) beta is a little prompt bar (pop-up) asking you to disable addons. Well, somebody should stop it for good as it is very irritating! Basically, this is just a nagging reminder which contains the following message: “Speed up startup and browsing by disabling add-ons”. The irritating thing is that it keeps appearing whenever you start the browser so that in the end you are force to follow its “advice”.  In fact you have 3 options. You can click “Ask me later”, or the “x” every time you open a new tab or window, or disable addon. Now, the issue is that there is not setting in Internet Explorer 9 to tweak as the popup is  triggered by the performance monitoring built directly into Windows 7 operating system when it notices an incompatible addon. Let’s see how to stop the reminder thanks to a simple trick! Continue reading »
