Mozilla Firefox browser is famous for its user-interface, support and security. Though the Firefox browser is open-source and free-to-use, but due to the hard work of Mozilla developers, no one can say that Firefox works like free browser. Firefox provides everything that a paid browser can provide (like Microsoft Internet Explorer).
This time Mozilla is launching a new update by the name Firefox 12 Aurora, which provides a better experience than the previous versions of it.
Here is a short list of benefits :
1. Smooth-Scrolling & Auto-Scrolling :
Firefox 12 has Smooth-Scrolling enabled by default. Though the feature is provided to improve the Scrollinmg experience of the users. But if you don’t like this then you can disable this feature from
Mozilla Firefox > Options > Advanced > General > Use Smooth Scrolling
2. New CSS Properties Support :
Firefox 12 Supports new CSS properties like column-fill, and text-align-last. So the web developers can use these properties in their web-pages. Additionally the experimental features like ECMAScript 6 Map and Set objects, and Sharp Variables Support are introduced in Firefox 12.
3. Source Code line numbering :
The another feature of Firefox 12 is Source Code line numbering, which will help the developers in debugging the source code of web-pages.
4. Less User-Command while Updating :
The new Firefox 12 will prompt one less user-command in its up-gradation process.
Personal Suggestion :
I suggest you to test the New Firefox 12 Version and report to the Firefox authority, if you see any kind of errors in it. This will help the Firefox 12 beta to become a Stable version.

DDA always stays in the news for its Flats scheme and the allotments. And at this time, DDA has come-up with a new mission of developing 1 lac Flats [in which 2300 EWS housing flats will be constructed in Pocket-8, Sector 23B, Dwarka (Near Radhasoami Satsang Center and Pochanpur Village)] with new Prefabricated Technology.
To display what kind of the future flats would be developed, DDA has also built a block of 60 sample flats for the EWS (Economical Weaker Sections). These Sample flats have 1 Bedroom, a Kitchen, a Bathroom with Ceramic Tiles and a lobby area. Each building has five floors in it.
In every housing society will have separate Community Center, Park, Grocery Shops, Guard Hut and Sufficient Parking Space.
Here are a few photos and a video taken from OriginalTips.com :
Actual Photo of Prefabricated DDA EWS Flats in Pocket 8, Sector 23BActual Photo of Prefabricated DDA EWS Flats in Pocket 8, Sector 23BActual Photo of Prefabricated DDA EWS Flats in Pocket 8, Sector 23B
On the very first time, DDA is using new Prefabricated Technology to construct almost 1 Lac Flats.
Example Prefabricated Home Technology – House on Wheels
Prefabricated Technology uses Natural Cement, Portable Slabs, Staircases, Beams, Precast Columns etc which could be easily shipped and assembled. The Houses which are developed by using this Prefabricated Technology, are known as the Prefabricated Homes [or Prefab Homes or 3 S Technology (Speed, Safety and Sustainability)]. Prefabricated Technology is considered to be environmental friendly, as use of timber is completely eliminated in developing such homes.
Such homes typically take 2 to 3 months to get built.
Example 2 : Construction for Prefabricated Home Technology Houses
By using this portable technology, DDA will save a huge amount of time and money as well.
Other Benefits :
1. Expenditure will be lowered by 25-40%
2. Provides Relief from the problems of Strong Winds, Fire and Water Problems
3. Effective in Earthquake Prone Areas as well.
Apart from the Flats in Sector 23 (Dwarka), DDA is also bringing around 11000 flats in Rohini, 6000 flats in Narela and Najafgarh by using the same Prefab Home Technology. The tentative completion year for this project is 2014.
The Union Cabinet Minister of Urban Development, Kamal Nath, has said to Original Tips, that DDA has taken a nice initiative by bringing such scheme for the Economical Weaker Sections.
First this technology will be used only in the EWS and LIG Flats, but if it gets success, then MIG and HIG Flats will also be constructed by using the same Prefab Home Technology.
Tentative Cost for Flats : As per DDA Officials, 1-Room flats are estimated to cost about Rs.4 Lacs. To get profit, DDA will sell them at a price of Rs.4.5 Lacs. While 2-Room Flats will be sold at Rs.9 Lacs.

Google Android OS has become a must have operating system in the Mobile Phones and Tablet PCs.
How to Install Devnagri, Hindi and Marathi Fonts (Unicode) in Android Mobile Phones and Tablets ?
Due to the high availability of services and apps on Android OS, many companies have come up with their Android Devices at a very less price (e.g. Akash Tablet – Starting from Rs.2500). But many of the devices doesn’t have the Devanagari Unicode fonts (e.g. Hindi and Marathi) installed on them, because of which we can’t read the Hindi/Marathi SMS (Text Messages) and Websites.
I have got a workaround for this. But to implement this workaround, you need to have a Rooted Android Device*, so that the respective files could be installed on it.
To simplify the process of Rooting the Android Device, you can install the Superuser or EasyRoot Application, and replace the existing font files with the attached ones.
After the launch of Akash Tablet PC, a few people are thinking that no other tablet can give competition to the Akash Tablet. But before Akash comes to the public, many other companies have introduced their Tablet PCs to the market.
After a huge online booking of Datawind’s Akash 2 (Ubislate 7), some other companies have introduced their Tablet PCs starting from Rs.4490 to Rs.11990.
Till now 21 Lac people have booked the Akash Tablet PCs online (worth Rs.700 Crores). Now we need to observe that whether Akash will be able to maintain its reputation in presence of other Tablet PCs or not.
Here are the Other Tablets in comparison to the Akash Tablet.
