The two netbooks from India, I really liked in terms of price and decent configuration were Wipro’s Ego Netbook and iBall Lil Netbook. Both are 10′inch screen netbooks which are the cheapest I have come across upto now.
Here is a table of comparison of both the products. The main criteria being they are one of the cheapest Netbooks around in India.
iBall Lilbook 1017 10 Inch Netbook
Wipro’s Ego 10 Inch Netbook

Price*
INR 14,559 (approx 320 USD)

I think the cheapest tag can easily go to iBall Lilbook 10 inch Netbook which is almost Rs 5000/- less than the price of Wipro’s Ego 10 inch netbook. But Ego does have 3 USB ports and also an 8 in 1 card reader compared to just a 3-1 card reader with the iBall product.
If you know more details or have an opinion on Netbooks and their significance or future in India? Do drop in your comments.
This plugin is a filter for the FeedWordPress plugin. If you do not use FeedWordPress this plugin will not be useful to you. The filter works by hooking the “syndicated_post” action of FeedWordPress.
For each potential post, the filter compares the post title, and either the post guide or the year-month-day of the post_date_gmt attributes.
If it finds a match of both the title and either the guide or date, it tells FeedWordPress to skip that potential post. Otherwise, it tells FeedWordPress to continue processing it however you have syndication set up on your blog.
This plugin is used to display a certain link category as slide show in the sidebar. It automatically excludes the chosen slideshow category from the Wordpress internal links widget.

Back in early December 2009, I bought a Lenovo Q100 nettop. Lenovo recently released the IdeaCentre Q110. So, what’s the difference between the Q100 and Q110? It’s essentially the same as its predecessor except for two things: The nettop comes with 2GB instead of 1GB RAM. It’s also equipped with a HDMI output. Everything else [...]
Here are some quick CSS tips for customizing avatars in your BuddyPress theme. You can file this under the “cute things you can do with BuddyPress” category. I was inspired by a post in our forums where a user requested a way to distinguish admin / moderator avatars from general users. You don’t need to hack the core or write a plugin for it. Highlighting avatars is simple to do with a little CSS. You will add this to your child theme’s CSS file.
How to Highlight Admin Avatars:
This will add a little white border around all of your avatars site-wide with a light blue border around the admin’s avatar:
Note that the admin’s user number is 1. If you have other moderators whom you’d like to highlight as well, you can easily find their numbers by using Firebug to see what class BuddyPress is giving them. Or you can hover over the username in the Dashboard >> Users list and note the number that follows “user_id=” in the status bar at the bottom of your browser. Then simply add multiples like so:
The light blue is a slight, unobtrusive distinction for the avatars that matches the BuddyPress default theme, but you can change it to any color you like.
How to Add Rounded Corners to BuddyPress Avatars Site-wide
If you’re a fan of rounded corners, this bit of CSS will add it to your avatars site-wide. Please note that this doesn’t actually round the image but rather the corners on the border and its background.
img.avatar {background: #ffffff;padding: 4px;border: 1px solid #ddd;/* Round Corners (native in Safari, Firefox and Chrome) */-moz-border-radius: 6px;-webkit-border-radius: 6px;}
This technique does not work in IE (the bane of every developer’s existence). You’ll need to use JavaScript to accomplish this if you want it to match in IE.
How to Add a Shadow to BuddyPress Avatars with Rounded Corners
This is a cute thing you can do to your avatars to make them pop a little more:
img.avatar {background: #ffffff;padding: 4px;border: 1px solid #ddd;/* Round Corners (native in Safari, Firefox and Chrome) */-moz-border-radius: 6px;-webkit-border-radius: 6px;/* Add the Shadow */-moz-box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #dddddd;-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #dddddd;}
I hope this was helpful for those of you who want to add a little bit of customization without having to be a CSS or PHP wizard. Enjoy customizing your theme and let us know if there other tutorials that would be helpful to you. Happy theming!
In my previous article I have explained about the importance of Twitter Search. Now in this article I’m going to explain what you are going to loose if you are not visible on Twitter search and what are the measures that are to be taken to in-order to avoid your-self discarding from the Twitter Search.
As I said Twitter Search is a gold mine, that plays a crucial role in driving the traffic to your website from website. But what happens if your not been show on the Twitter Search.
It means that you are missing a great chance. According to me, there is no use of using the Twitter as a platform for sharing your website/web-content.
Lets us check our selves, whether we are being displayed at Twitter Search or not :
Enter “from:username”. For example Im using “devils_workshop”.
Lets try it out to check whether devils_workshop is appearing on twitter search or not. from:devils_workshop. The results appeared.
Try out with your username this time, if the results appear then utilize the best chance that you got, if not its the time to react.
What you have to Do if your account is not showing on twitter Search:
Unless you problem is been fixed go to status.twitter.com and see whether if there is any problem at twitter.
Twitter is having its own forums page, file a complaint over there. Just wait for 2 days not more than that. I’m saying according to my experience, you may not get reply for your complaint. Then what do you do?
First of all, make sure that you haven’t violated any rules and regulations of Twitter. Go through these terms and services, and then if you thin that you haven’t violated than your work is almost done.
Write politely about your problem for @Delbius (Twitter employee). She is extremely helpful. She may not help you if you violated the terms and services but will give your few measures and certain tips that will help you in the future.
If you have violated the terms and services then, I recommend you to open a new Twitter account and from then at-least follow the Twitter guidelines for the new account.
Buddypress (BP) a buzz in the world of bloggers. It provides an open platform for the wordpress users to share their views and ideas. In other terms it will let you create a social community around your Wordpress blog. It has predefined rich set of components that is enough for a social-networking platform. Yet there is something missing.This missing part in the words of buddypress are CUSTOM COMPONENTS. These custom component can be anything that can provide a rich set of features that is a value added advantage to the Buddypress.
Buddypress media component
Let me try to make the picture more clear to you. Let me have pleasure to introduce BUDDYPRESS. Buddypress is a sort of plugin that can be activated as we do to other plugins but it takes wordpress blog to a next level. It enriches the wordpress blog by its features like activity, groups, friends, forums, etc .etc. But the more you give to users the more they want. This thirst let to the formation of a group of developers call Buddypress developers.
Buddypress custom component developers instincts their ideas with their own custom component and the wordpress users roam freely through the website with ease.
Till now development of custom component for buddypress is reached its new heights. Every now n then developers release their own custom component that nicely integrates with the buddypress core component. Buddypress has a huge base of approximately 16000 members.
To end with I would like to say that the real power of buddypress comes with its components more or less custom components plays a vital role in this battlefield of open source community..
Thanks for reading, suggestions are welcome.. Will be back soon with more interesting article on Buddypress and Worpress.
