To view Airtel Internet data usage, visit www.airtel.in/smartbyte-s/page.html from your Airtel broadband connection. The webpage will instantly show the internet usage details of your account for the current bill cycle without requiring any type of registration or login. The page lists your DSL ID (phone no.), allocated high speed data transfer limit as per your plan, remaining high-speed data transfer quota (non-FUP), and days left in your current billing cycle (calculated month wise). Implement some simple maths to know the data consumed by deducting GBs left from the high speed limit.

Using the same webpage, you can also opt for airtel smartbytes deals by purchasing additional high speed quota, in case your high speed data limit is over and you don’t desire to continue browsing on low-bandwidth (i.e. 256kbps speed). This is certainly a nice move by Airtel to let users check their broadband usage in just a single click!

Note: You can even check data usage of other Airtel users if you’ve access to their network. This is something that Airtel needs to fix by adding some sort of protection.

‘Smartbytes’ offers the ability to add high speed data transfer limit and continue browsing at higher speeds. Customers can opt for desired Smartbytes pack anytime after reaching 80% of their high speed bandwidth limit. The additional data usage bought is provided for the remaining period of your monthly billing cycle. Smartbytes unique data usage packs range from 1 GB to 50 GB starting at Rs. 99.

Additional Data Usage Packs at Airtel Smartbytes include:

• 1 GB for Rs. 99
• 2 GB for Rs. 159
• 5 GB for Rs. 299
• 10 GB for Rs. 449
• 20 GB for Rs. 799
• 50 GB for Rs. 1499

Upon opting for Smartbytes deals, you’ll be able to browse at higher speed as per your current plan for the provided high-speed data transfer quota. To add an additional data usage pack to your broadband plan, just visit www.airtel.in/smartbytes from your Airtel broadband connection to which you want to add it. Then select a desired data usage pack to purchase additional GBs for usage in the current bill cycle only.

>> Smartbytes is indeed a nice initiative from Airtel for users who cant adapt to low bandwidth and thus are looking out for some alternative. However, Airtel has made it more than easier to opt for Smartbytes as one doesn’t needs any special account logins to activate it. This is quite risky as anyone having access to your Internet network can go to smartbytes webpage and subscribe to any data plan without your knowledge.

There are various formatting options that can be used to generate the text in a desired size and font. To write in your language, just visit www.google.com/transliterate. Choose the output language and then start writing. Then copy-paste the conversion anywhere.

For example: When you type namaste, it will get converted to ?????? after hitting Space bar. Clicking on the translated word will show other related words that you can select if the initial word is not relevant. Make sure to type in Hindi (just like SMS language) to get the Hindi conversion in Devanagari script.

Transliteration bookmarklet – This comes handy when you want to type in your language easily on any website. The tool uses the Google transliteration service in the background. To use the bookmarklet to type in Hindi, just drag the Hindi Bookmarklet to your Bookmarks bar. [Visit here to get other language bookmarklets]

To write in Hindi, click on the bookmarklet and you’ll notice a bold ? in the typing filed. This means that you can now start typing and text will get converted into set language.

If you want to type anywhere in your language without need of an Internet connection, then install the Transliteration IME, available for Windows OS (32-bit and 64-bit).

Google Transliteration IME is an input method editor which allows users to enter text in one of the supported languages using a roman keyboard. Users can type a word the way it sounds using Latin characters and Google Transliteration IME will convert the word to its native script. Note that this is not the same as translation – it is the sound of the words that is converted from one alphabet to the other, not their meaning.

Besides this, there is also a very popular and good online service “Quillpad”.

PayPal has now Removed all fees on withdrawals for India, means now there is NO withdrawal fees charged when you transfer funds to your bank account even if the net amount is Rs. 100. PayPal hasn’t made any official announcement about this yet but you can see it right now in your PayPal account. Check the below screenshot:

Additionally, I noted that PayPal is considering to deliver a Demand Draft to your postal address if the bank account details provided by you are not correct. However, I’m NOT sure on this because on ‘Review withdrawal of funds’ page, PayPal stated that if the information is not correct then they will return the amount back to PayPal and a return fee of Rs. 250 will be charged. So, please don’t risk on that.

Are you pleased to see PayPal waived off the withdrawal charges?

The latest 2012 version of Kaspersky security products were recently launched and are available in India. You can consider buying Kaspersky because it is fast, very efficient, offers enhanced security, frequently updates virus definitions, consumes less system resources that won’t slow down your computer, and runs silently in background.

Buy Original Kaspersky online in India -

Kaspersky Lab (India) sells 1 year 1 PC license of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 for $39.95 whereas 1 year 1 PC license of Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 sells for $59.95. This converts to Rs. 1800 and Rs. 2700 respectively in Indian currency. However, exactly same products are being sold at very low prices by several online shopping stores in India. (1 Year 1 PC KAV 2012 for Rs. 251 and KIS 2012 for Rs. 475 only.)

Hence, you can instead purchase Kaspersky from these stores and save good money! But do confirm the authenticity of product and don’t get fooled by some sellers who provide an activation code after you buy it. That’s because they usually give an illegal license key which gets blocked or blacklisted after a while.

Flipkart, one of the popular and reputed Indian online store is selling Kaspersky products at very low and reasonable prices. Their products are 100% genuine and are delivered as box packed item, followed by FREE Home Delivery. Check the pricing below:

• Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 (1 PC 1 Year) @ Rs. 251
• Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 (3 PC 1 Year) @ Rs. 531
• Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 (1 PC 1 Year) @ Rs. 475
• Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 (3 PC 1 Year) @ Rs. 838

Visit here for a quick comparison between KAV 2012, KIS 2012 and Kaspersky PURE.

You can install a 30 day fully-functional trial to try these software before buying. They are very affordable and are really worth the money spent.

Do let us know which security program you use to guard your PC?
