I always wanted to know the prices of latest computer hardware components in India. The hardware manufacturers wouldn’t put the MRP (including bill and warranty) of their products on their site. If I find it on their site, it would be in USD($). Converting $ into Rs can’t be effective translation of the cost that an end user has to pay as there will be local taxes and import duties etc. I had to look in shopping sites like eBay.in, Sify, Rediff, Indiatimes etc to know the prices which is quite a lot cumbersome.
Many months back, I got a website of a dealer based in Mumbai who has a website which regularly updates the prices of various hardware components. Moreover, all the prices are MRP i.e with bill and warranty. The website is called The ITWares. I haven’t bought anything from them yet. But the website is very good resource to know the latest prices. Read more…

What is Lynx ?
Lynx is a free open-source, text-only Web browser. Many search engines like Google recommend you to look at your site using Lynx browser as the search engine crawlers and bots ‘see’ your pages the way Lynx sees.
Browsing in Lynx consists of highlighting the chosen link using cursor keys, or having all links on a page numbered and entering the chosen link’s number. Lynx cannot display various types of non-text content on the web, such as images and video, but it can launch external programs to handle it, like an image viewer or video player. The speed benefits of text-only browsing are most apparent when using low bandwidth internet connections, or older computer hardware that may be slow to render image-heavy content.
Why use Lynx now ?
Most search engine spiders see your site much as Lynx would. If fancy features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser, then search engine spiders may have trouble crawling your site. Read more…
