Use the Computer Without a Mouse or Keyboard

HowToSetup: Use the Computer Without a Mouse or Keyboard [Windows tips] 
It’s happening quite frequently to have a PC (or laptop) keyboard error. The most liable to "crash" and with the most expensive service, are laptop keyboards. If you can change your failing PC keyboard with a new one within few seconds, when speeking about a broken laptop keyboard it’s a more complicated issue. Involves higher costs and a "hospitalization" in a specialized service centre.
However, if we don’t have time or money to repair or change a keyboard, you should use Windows virtual keyboard. The only condition is to have a functional mouse or touch pad. :)
How to access Windows virtual keyboard – available for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
1. Open Start Menu and click Control Panel
3. In Control Panel click on Ease of Access
ease_access
4. Enter Ease of Access Center
access_center
5. In the displayed window (don’t worry if your computer starts to speak with you :P) double-click on Start On-Screen Keyboard to open the virtual keyboard.

The virtual keyboard acts like a normal keyboard, the only difference is that you have to use your mouse/touch pad to type on it.

It may be a little uncomfortable for you to use the virtual keyboard, but, in the absence of a normal keyboard, it’s useful in such cases like editing an important document or talking to someone on IM etc., and it’s recommended when typing a password (avoiding any possible undercover keylogger :))
The Ease of Access Center has the option to use a virtual mouse too. This virtual mouse – or cursor - is very easy to move using the numeric keys on the right side of keyboard. For accessing this virtual mouse, click on Make the mouse easier to use, in Ease of Access Center.

How To Trace Mobile Numbers in India


(India Only)
With rapid growth in mobile phone subscribers in India and low call rates, most calls we receive on our mobile are form other mobiles. At the same time, to cater increasing user-base most operators come up with new series everyday which makes remembering a cell number increasingly hard. Also sometime we just want to trace a mobile number for reasons like unknown number in miss call list, to get hint of callers permanent location (sounds unlikely, I know…), etc.
But if you have a look at this wiki page, you can certainly trace any mobile number up-to the level of its mobile operator and state (or zone) that’s too using first 4-digit only. It (wiki page) lists all mobile number series in nice tabular manner categorizing them according to mobile operator and state (or zone).
Like other wiki pages, this wiki is also updated regularly and provides you with latest information. I have never been disappointed by it and I am using it for over a year.
If you prefer simpler interface where you can just enter your cell number and get the desired information, you can try this website.
