Guest post by Hyderali. Google Analytics is one of the popular products from Google for the webmasters community and is one of the best analytics software available online & that too for Free. Though, the analytics team is putting their every effort to eradicate any loopholes in the product. If you are using Google Analytics, you may know that under Traffic Source –> Referring Sites, you can view the sites link through which people visited your site. But the link which generally displays is not the whole link only the part of the link. For ex: - forum.com/showthread.php. Below I’ll explain you how to obtain full URL of a link through referral with a simple method.

pakistan-earthquake

A strong earthquake of magnitude 7.4 has struck South-west Pakistan, whose tremors were felt across Delhi, Gurgaon and other places in India, Afghanistan & even Dubai. And as always, Twitter has out-sped other media agencies like the printed press, TV press and the online media. The power of Twitter was there to see. Less than a minute after the earthquake happened, a sea-line of tweets started flowing in from tweeps in Karachi, Lahore, Delhi and Dubai. Twitter has always been known to be faster than traditional media in breaking the news, and it has proved it all over again. Considering that it's late in the night (almost 2am IST), many people from this part of the world weren't expected to be active on Twitter, but they still managed to surprise everyone. Facebook wasn't too slow either. But the public timeline search of Twitter outdid Facebook yet again. Update: BBC was amongst the first of the traditional media houses to pick up the story. But again, way too slow in front of Twitter. Keeping aside the effectiveness of social media, we hope, wish and pray for the safety of...

white-iphone-4

Were you still waiting for those silly looking sexy White iPhone 4? Yes, the ones which are same as the black iPhone 4, but with white panels. Well, they aren't here yet, but will be available starting Feb 27th at Best Buy. MacRumors reports that the above screenshot is from a Best Buy inventory database showing both 16 GB and 32 GB white iPhone 4 models listed with expected in-stock dates of February 27th. We are still not sure if Verizon iPhone users also get an option to go for the White iPhone 4. The white iPhone model was expected long back, but Apple had consistently cited problems with color consistency and light emissions from behind the screen as the reasons for the delay. I still don't understand how many would really care to go for these white models, specially since the fifth generation iPhones are expected later this year. We are playing safe here and are classifying the news as a Rumor for now. Will you go for a white iPhone 4 if and when it's...

addictive-android-games

When you read the title you must have already guessed that Angry Birds should be on the top of the list. But we at TechPP decided to take a look at other addictive games beyond Angry Birds. Angry Birds has set a benchmark and raised the bar for other games to match it up. It has been renowned as the best-selling game on multiple platforms including iPhone and Android. Rovio Mobile, the developers of Angry Birds, rolls out updates with new levels frequently but addicts complete all the challenges quickly which lowers their interest in it until new levels are added. We at TechPP also love Angry Birds but we have decided to scorched the Android Market to look for more games that will keep you glued to your Android Phone when you are done with Angry Birds.

Before any Microsoft fanboy flame me for putting up this funny chart, let me confess that the chart holds good for Mac OSX and Linux as well. But the last part of the chart is more closer to Windows than the other two operating systems. Isn't it? [via]
intel-ipad Did you know that IPAD was originally designed and conceived by Intel, that too almost a decade back? It even had a touch-screen display and was powered by an ARM processor! It featured a built-in MP3 player and even let users surf the Internet on their couch! It was branded as Intel PAD or IPAD, as it was internally known. It was officially branded the Intel Web Tablet, but it never made it to market. The Intel Web Tablet let users connect to their PC and surf the Web from anywhere in the home using Intel's Anypoint wireless home networking solution. It was not a stand-alone PC but an extended browsing device with some additional applications. Though the name of the web tablet being "IPAD" is a catchy news now, it is also interesting to note that Intel was actually using an ARM processor - Intel StrongARM 1110! Those who wish to know the history behind Intel & ARM collaboration can check this wiki article. Coming back to the original IPAD, it was priced at $500 and Circuit City was the exclusive retailer. But then Intel retracted and the axe came...
