I've been using Qnet for a while now. My DSL subscription will end this month. I didn't decide yet whether to renew with qnet or not!
Recently I made a comparison between Qnet and other Internet Service Providers. I noticed that there is a big difference in term of price/speed between Qent and the other ISP's. but I am not sure about the quality/connection reliability of their service!

If You are a fasttelco or KEMS user, I need some reviews..!
What is your ISP? Do you recommend it or not? and why :) ??

Choosing among web browsers

Which Web Browsers Are You Using? Why?

As for me it depends on the purpose of using it.. for instance, I use AOL browser to gain access to blocked websites!

When I am using my mac OS I prefer to use FireFox. and with Windows OS I normally use Internet Explorer 7. Sometimes I shift between Flock, Opera and Chrome. But most of the time I use MSIE 7.0. Dont ask me why! It just makes me feel comfortable while I am using it!

I leave you with some statistical data presented in a bie chart for the Usage Share of Web Browsers 2008 Q4. Source --> Wikipedia

Spending 5 hours trying to figure out the wepkey

I am in Bahrain now for Eid Holiday.. I came here to visit my friend who is staying and studying there. She picked me up from the airport heading back to her apartment. when we reached there I remembered something important that have to be done through the Internet! I switched my laptop on trying to connect to the Internet via her wireless connection.

Me: what is your wep key?

Bhh: emmmm... try 0123456789

Me: it does not work!!

Bhh: then try 1234567890

Me: are you sure about the wep key?

Bhh: yes it was something like that!

Me: Ohh god... please, try to remember!

Bhh: Then try 0987654321 or 9876543210

Me: Comeon both are not working!

Bhh: I am not sure I cant remember!

Me: Ok lets go out for dinner and we will try to figure it out later!

Bhh: Ok

So we went out for dinner and did some grocery shopping together.. after that we returned back to here place.

I was trying to read the manual for "net gear access point" in order to solve this bothering problem.

She offered me her laptop, but I didn't really wanna use her laptop since I have to check some important issues from my own laptop where the passwords are stored there and couldn't really memorise them!

Again to the search process but this time trying to find out a software that might retrieves her wep key. it took me more than two hours searching for the right software for the retrieval process! until I found "wireless key view" for retrieving wep key passwords!

it was free of charge, a very simple software. I did the installation on her machine. and guess what was the password? 1234567891 !!!!!!!

I couldn't stop laughing and spend the entire day repeating the numbers in a loud voice!! again and again!

Happy 10th Birthday "Google"!
