If you want to download pictures from internet its easy as right clicking on it -> Save Image as But if you want to download lots of pictures like facebook album it wont be easy to right click on every one and saving it.
There are many apps,software’s are designed to help you with this issue. One is FBdownloader thats the most popular one but I found that its not convenient as it should be. You should give your fb login credentials to use it and you can only download your frinds photos and your photos but even to download your friends photo albums, they must have set the albums are public and even when you can view it on web browser fbdownloader wont allow to download photo albums of your friends if they marked them as “Private” or “Friends only” . So its not a good option.
And when I was searching for the most convenient and easy solution I found great Google Chrome extension for doing this.

Linode which is my favorite VPS host, recently announced their service availability on Tokyo,Japan data center. If your visitors reside in Asia you might be interested in jumping to Tokyo data center. But what about speeds? London data center is already performing very well for Asian linode customers.
So to find out what kind of speeds that I can get with Tokyo Data Center, I have snatched a 512MB linode on Tokyo DC and decided to perform some network speedtests. All tests were done with 100MB test files.
Unfortunately the results are extremely poor as you can see below. I wont put the blames quickly on linodes part because since its new there can be few minor problems and most likely be able to resolve this by simple support ticket. But I found something interesting,

If you were lucky enough to snatch a HP touchpad for $99 before they went out of stock you are now lucky than ever before. You might heard rumors that Android will be ported to run on touchpad! I read comments on various techblogs about HP’s decision to sell out touchpads for $99 and most of the commentators said that they are going to buy one because in future Android will be ported to run on it. On the time HP started fire sale there wasn’t any evidence that Android can be ported to touchpad.

You may have seen my post Amazon S3 review. Looks like it went viral and some famous amazon s3 managing software vendors commented on that post and some vendors sent emails to me asking to review them. Nadya from Cloudberry Explorer is one them. She asked me to review cloudberry explorer, Since I love freewares and I was using cloudberry explorer already to manage my S3 instances I thought I should write a review about them.
I begun to use Amazon S3 last year and now its more than 1 year since I’m using amazon s3 to hold files for my web sites. And on the first day I signed up for amazon s3 I felt in need of a nice and fast interface to manage my files on s3. Main reason for that is Amazon AWS Console is too slow and the the console slowness is a common fact on amazon aws. They need to work on that or provide native pc/mac client to manage s3 and other AWS services.

I have tried amazon s3 and cloudfront services on this blog few months ago and had some “Not worth staying with” experience with amazon web services. However I’m still using s3 and cloudfront to serve images for few posts on this blog and you can find the post I done about amazon aws here – http://www.ruchirablog.com/amazon-s3-wordpress/

Hi guys! Did you missed me? 
I know some of you guys visit everyday to read my posts. Feedburner count shows that clearly. Sorry I didn’t wrote anything for last 6 weeks. Lots of thing changed recently, When things keeps me busy its hard to think of something special to write about.
But now I feel that its very bad idea to stop writing this precious blog because silently this blog attracts about 1000 visitors a day who reads about 1500 pages daily on this blog.
Some recent changes
- Now this blog is under alexa’s 100000 most visited web sites list. ( Ranked 96178 at the moment ) Its very hard to achieve this guys. Going under 100000 on alexa was one of my dreams when I started this blog
- More than 3000 comments made on my posts. And getting average of 20 comments per day as of we speak.
- 901 daily email subscribers. more than 1700 people subscribed but more than 800 of them missed to activate it on activation email. So real number is 901 opted in email subscribers now.
- My post about unlocking huawei HSPDA modems is still really popular and more than 1000 comments made on that 2 posts.
Really guys now I feel that why should I destroy this blog by not writing anymore. I’m very lucky to achieve those facts mentioned on top and I shouldn’t waste it.
So people I’m gonna be writing this again
