Top search engines for Rapidshare Searching

Saturday, December 8th, 2007


Rapidshare is probably one of the top free file hoster on the planet. You can find almost everything on rapidshare but the problem is, rapidshare did not provided any search functionality for the hosted files. If you know how to search the hosted files on rapidhsare, you can rule the IT world.

What is Rapidshare: Rapidshare is the best among all the file hosting sites till date. Keeping in view that the web users have to go through a tedious process to send files as an attachment in emails and with some service providers not providing the option of sending large files, the idea of file uploading came into existence. Established in May, 2002 Rapidshare has nearly 84 sites which link to it and stores files on Rapidshare servers. The servers are located in Switzerland. Due to overwhelming response to the service, the problem of server overload started creeping in. So Rapidshare decided to start another subsidiary company by name Rapidshare.de

Top Search Engines: I think Google is the most powerful search engine capable of handling a number of advanced queries but you must have enough understanding on how to perform search. Searching in google is a very long story, I will cover it in later article.

Here I will guide you how to search the Rapidshare using google:

Wateen launched WiMax in Lahore Pakistan

Friday, November 30th, 2007



Wateen’s Video for WiMax

Wateen Telecoms  launched its WiMax  operations in Lahore. Last week we invited Wateen’s technical team to install its wiMax in our office at STC (Siddique Trade Center) Gulberg III Lahore. After spending few hours with the CPE device they informed us that “signal for WiMax are very week in the office premises, so we are unable to install WiMax”.

I think wateen is the one of the first and major player in WiMax  operation in Pakistan and they have been testing the WiMax  services in different areas of Pakistan since late 2006. We didn’t expect this situation from wateen’s installation engineers. STC is is situated in Gulberg III which is the most important place for IT companies. Most of the offices in STC are software houses. If they cannot provide wimax in Gulberg III, then there’s not point for launching the WiMax operations?

More important thing about wateen’s wimax are their prices. They are providing 128Kbps for just Rs.400 per month but their CPE (Wimax Device) is very very costly. Its about Rs. 23,500 for home and corporate clients, which is a huge amount for home users.

Every  package for home users is shared between 16 home users and every corporate package is shared by 3 corporate users.  First of all no one will spend 23K for their CPE, if someone do; he will get 8Kbps (from 128Kbps shared) download speed (supposing all 16 users are using bandwidth)

I must say that Wateen should really think about the CPE cost, this will really ruins all their efforts to wimax.
