The difference between security code and application code is, when application code fails, you find out right away. When security code fails, you find out 4 years from now, when a DVD with all your customer’s credit card and CVV2 information starts circulating in Estonia.                                      Matasano Chargen

Nokia 6300 has been the topselling phone for nokia from past few years.this ultra slim phone is now costing around 7000 rs which was initially selling at 12000 rs.

there were couple of glitches with the previous firmware which i had been using (6.01 firmware) all these days.

1. one could not add the same person to multiple groups in the contact list.
2. editing the contact information would lead to “operation fail” error most of the times.the phone was unpredictable

i was wondering when these people will address these issues.

with the 7.21 firmware these issues seem to be solved,though i havent tested it properly i have had no problems so far.

for those who are upgrading the firmware for the first time get your nokia software updater software from here.

Nero has been the most successful cd and dvd burner software all these years.but lately i am finding it really difficult to do even the basic tasks such as copying cd’s and dvd’s.after the nero 7 ,the design of the software with respect to user interface underwent a major make over and as far as i know majority of the users didnt like it.

Thats when magazines and tech journals like digit,chip and others started giving out free burner alternatives to nero which are much more simple and take a miniscule space on your hard drive unlike nero which takes up half a gig or more.the only downturn is  you are sacrificing some of the functionality which you would rarely use.

one such alternative which i personally liked is

burnaware

you can use the free edition for most of the basic stuffs and purchase the paid one only if you need the exta functions.

let me know which other free alternatives you like the most

happy burning!!!
