The allaboutRajni website, built by DesiMartini, runs on Ranji power and therefore requires end users to disconnect from Internet to continue browsing. Amazing, isn't it ?


The logic behind this website is very simple but quite innovative. The whole website is a flash file that downloads to your computer before playing. Once downloaded it starts sending packets to see if you're connected to Internet. If you are connected, the packets are successfully sent and you're barred of proceeding further. A message popups up saying "The only way to enter this website is to switch off your internet" while a Rajnikanth flavored background music keeps playing.

Now here comes the trick. Don't disconnect the internet yet no matter how curious you are to browse further into Rajnikanth's website.

Go to the section of your browser when proxy settings are defined. This is browser specific but very easy to figure out so I'm leaving this on you. Once there, put "invalid_proxy" or anything random in proxy server and "80" in port input field respectively, click on apply and you'll be successfully able to browse the website with a message "Your actions have earned you, the right to browse this website".



Once inside, you can browse through lots of facts about Rajnikanth and some really funny jokes like the one below. ( Of course you've heard it before )

To continue browsing other normal non-Rajni powered websites, revert the changes we just made but you may get this message because Rajnikanth will always be monitoring if you're offline and using Rajni power only. :)

This is an official Webapp by Mozilla that tests the speed on your Firefox and suggests an upgrade based on the result. The new Firefox claims to be 7 times faster, very stable, crash resistant and protects your privacy.

Mozilla Corp. is getting involved with its users a lot lately, perhaps because Firefox has been receiving some real competition from Chrome.

See how my Firefox speed test went. (Ya I know it's slow. :P )

After Megaupload.com was officially shutdown and a few people involved in the running of Megaupload.com were arrested, FileSonic.com, an another popular Filesharing website, has backed off from the fight by disabling all file Sharing functionality. If you visit the website's homepage , you'll be greeted with this message:

All sharing functionality on FileSonic is now disabled. Our service can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally.

Upload and download files that you've personally uploaded ? Really ? We have Dropbox for that.
Filesonic has disabled it's primary feature i.e. "File sharing", rendering itself pretty much useless to the masses. It's clear that owners at FileSonic are scared of what happened to Megaupload.
