Congratulations fellows of the world!! here is a great news for you. Amazon.com is giving a FREE SIX MONTHS PRIME Membership trial to students(who has an email address ending with ".edu").
It would cost you nearly $50 if you are not a student but lucky you

Start  6-Month Trial

Amazon Student members receive six months of FREE Two-Day Shipping with Amazon Prime on eligible purchases and e-mail alerts for discounts and promotions. Discounts and promotions will be e-mailed to your Amazon.com e-mail account or made available on the Amazon Student membership page at www.amazon.com/student .

Amazon Student members will automatically continue receiving FREE Two-Day Shipping with Amazon Prime when their free period is over with automatic renewal.

If you started an Amazon Student free trial before March 20, 2014, you'll be charged at a membership rate of $39 when it automatically renews. If you start a free trial on or after that date, you'll be charged at a membership rate of $49 upon automatic renewal.

If you have an existing paid annual Amazon Student Prime membership, you'll be automatically renewed at a membership rate of $49.

Your Student Prime benefits can't be shared with another account, but if you continue with a paid membership, you'll also receive access to thousands of Prime Instant Video titles, Prime Music, and a Kindle book to borrow for free each month from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library. Benefits are subject to restrictions, such as geographic limitations, as stated in our Amazon Prime Help pages. If you don't wish to continue with paid Prime benefits you can set them to not automatically upgrade at any time during the free period.

After you graduate or at the end of your fourth year of Amazon Student Prime benefits, whichever comes first, your subscription will automatically upgrade on its anniversary date into a full paid subscription for Amazon Prime.

If you receive notice of your graduation before March 20, 2014, you'll be charged at an Amazon Prime membership rate of $79 on your renewal date. If you receive notice on or after March 20, 2014, you'll be charged at a membership rate of $99.

Once the paid membership is selected, you'll no longer be eligible for the free period even if the paid membership is canceled.

If you'd like to upgrade to the paid membership before the end of the free period in order to get access to Prime Instant Videos, Prime Music, and Kindle Owners' Lending Library sooner, you can upgrade at any time by going to www.amazon.com/joinstudent or www.amazon.com/prime .

If you'd like to share your Amazon Prime benefits with someone else, please cancel your Amazon Student membership and any existing Amazon Prime benefits under your account. You'll then be able to sign up for the $99 a year program and invite others to share your membership. For help canceling your Amazon Student membership, go to Cancel Amazon Student. You can cancel your current Amazon Prime benefits by going to the Manage Prime Membership page. After these two things are canceled, go to our main Amazon Prime page (www.amazon.com/prime ) to enroll at the $99 rate

Trobleshooting Transcend Pendrives

Recently I faced a problem with my Transcend JetFlash500 8Gb Pendrive, it was malfunctioned and I was unable to format it. When I tried to format " The disk is write protected" or " Windows unable to format the disk" kind of errors I got.

I tried all the known and unknown methods from google, but the effort was nothing but a waste of time. I gave up trying and thrown it away for long time. 

Today when I was searching in the internet about something I visited Transcend's official website, in that I could locate my product and downloaded "Online Recovery Tool software". 

Baaaam... It worked. I was stunned. 

So guys if you get any problem with the Transcend  drives visit the official website and select your product and download the "Online Recivery Tool"
