Electronic records lasts for like ever.Many times after sending a email you might have thought that you might not have send that mail. If you want it to never happen again you should definitely read this post .In the current e-mail system once the message has been send sender has no control over it.

Self-destructing email are an electronic mail that vanishes or becomes unreadable after a certain length of time or sender can destruct the send email whenever he wants.

You can also use these emails for tracking purposes i.e Self Destructing Email also let you know when was your email opened etc
How Do these Emails works? These Email works in numerous ways. Most common methods by which these emails work are :
1.BY providing message recipients one-time access to a secure Web page that contains your message.Recipients get an email containing a link to secure webpage and direct readers to the page with the message, which is accessible only once. After that, the message is deleted.
2.The way most of these emails seem to work is by replacing the plain text of your email with a graphic image of the text, which is stored at the Web site’s server rather than in the email message itself.The original message just contains a link to this image. So user can view the image only and sender can delete the image whenever he wants

The Indian Govt has just Announced the Symbol for Rupee currency and It will take almost one year to implement the same in all over the world as there are many regulatory requirement involved in implementation .However I have found a trick from the net by which you can start using the Rupee symbol from now .It is very easy to use the trick .Trick is developed by Foradian Technologies .
Steps To Install the Rupee symbol.
How to use ?
1. Download the above attached font Rupee.ttf or the new version Rupee_Foradian. ttf
2. Install the font. (It is easy. Just copy the font and paste it in “Fonts” folder in control panel)
Rupee symbol mapped the grave acent symbol – ` (the key just above “tab” button in your keyboard) with the new Rupee symbol. Just select “Rupee” font from the drop down list of your fonts in your application and press the key just above your tab button. It will display our new rupee symbol. Try it.
Limitations
The “Rupee.ttf” font is necessary to view the currency symbol. So as long as the new symbol is not encoded in to Unicode font by default, we cant use the symbol universally. means if you type the symbol in your letter and send to other person but the receiver has not installed the font then he can not see the rupee symbol

Well, you might think you are smart enough to not loose your precious mobile phone. But, are you really that smart? (That’s the kind of question that I’ve been dodging for a while). Anyway, everyone on this planet, rich or poor, male or female will have a bad-mobile-day. Yeah sounds stupid. But what will you do if you loose your handset? May be that’s a good reason to buy the latest model of some blackberry look-alike(or, are you going to cry?). Now let’s cut the crap and see what this wonderful mobile application F-Secure Anti-Theft can do.
Why use F-Secure anti-theft?
If you lose your mobile phone, You can Remotely lock it or even wipe out all the data from your phone. What’s more, it is a free software which anyone can use. So at least you can prevent any illegal transactions through your phone or disable the phone. You can also locate your phone remotely and get info about the one who stole it.
How does it work?
You can lock your phone quickly with a single text message. The phone remains locked until you reset it.
You can locate your phone simply by using the map. Again, all you have to do is, send a text message to see the location on the map.
If you are sure that you are not getting your phone back, erase all the data in your phone by, wait for it, sending a text message.
All this is good, but this is even better. If the thief tries to replace your SIM with another one, the phone will be locked automatically and you will receive the SIM number.
