Steve Job spells magic again!

You cannot afford to miss this Steve Job's Keynote address unveiling iLife '06 and Mac on Intel. Oh by the way, you must be a Windows user to watch this! Even better if you are a Microsoft fan!

Interesting thoughts on Entreprenership in IT

I read up on some wonderful blog entries on Santosh Dawara's blog. The one that really seconded my thoughts was the interview excerpts from Wipro's ex-CEO Vivek Paul. IT Services vs Product development business model.

Open Source Mac Applications

I found this website that lists the most popular open source Mac OS X applications. It's great resource if you are new into the world of Macintosh!

"Free and open-source software is good for you and good for the world. This is the best OS X software that we know of." Visit them at www.opensourcemac.org

Heard of a web browser with a integrated blogging tool that would work with just any blogging system? Try Flock

MSN and YAHOO now can actually TALK

"Consumers will be able to exchange instant messages, see presence, share emoticons and add friends from Yahoo! Messenger or MSN Messenger.". Complete News.

Yes, now you would be able to message a msn user from yahoo. A win-win situation for end users. A joined force to beat the new possible IM gaint, google?

Google talk

If you are on windows you'll find google talk as a good relief. It's ultra light weight and fast. Download it here. Enjoy! Adium remains unbeatable and does support google accounts. Nice to see google copying Adiums feature thou.

Doing it without MS Office

MS Office is a great tool, there is no denial to the fact. However, I think it's very easy to live without it. And save a lot of Money.

After moving to macintosh the first good enough reason to stop using office products is availability of TextEdit. TextEdit is the basic text editor shipped with Mac. It is not only is capable of opening word files but it's amazingly easy to use.

Candy, Coffee and Cocaine: Job life cycle

This article should help students and serious career aspirants make a better decision for their future. This article specifically discusses the 'trend' of joining an Indian IT company. Last but not the least, I assume you are a kind of person who wants a (more) challenging and interesting job. So lets begin!

An apple a day, keeps Microsoft away!

Before I go ahead listing why Mac is much superior and worth a migration for most users, here is something that will make you think why it would be even worth a read.

I'm in love!

Yes, this post is as disappointing as Finding myself a girl was. But really, only idiots wouldn't fall for a sexy powerbook. I myself have never been so excited about a gadget, well I think that's probably because I hadn't tried my hands on a apple product.

Indians are good at English? Don't generalize!

Why is india a great destination for outsourcing? Ask any BPO gaint and they will tell you command over language (En) and cheap labor. Here is what it can do.

Excerpts from a MACOSX Forum:

Finding myself a girl

I had lived over dozen of crushes until I stumbled upon her. Mind you, it wasn't easy at all. For a person like me, who is as handsome as Chunky Pandey at a Mr. World contest, and ofcourse, with an equally handsome bank balance.

OneIndia - No more STD

“Soon there would be no distinction between STD and local calls. There would be uniform rates and a ‘OneIndia' approach,” Dayanidhi Maran (Union minister for telecommunications and information technology) [Complete News].

This was some news! Great boost to the business segement.

Your Own Google

You can now customize google homepage and turn into a portal. Google beats the competitors by leaving it to the user to what he wants to see and how. Features like word of the day and quote for the day are very handy!

Need a gmail account?

gmail is fast and many times better than any other provider in terms of features. While gmail is still in beta, the only way to get yourself an account is by asking gmail users like me for an invite. Just leave me your email address and an invite would be on it's way. happy gmailing!

UPDATE: No more invites available. I hope gmail goes live soon and everyone can sign up for their own account!

Heights of technology in Automobile Industry

I started following up F1 only since last 8-10 months. While I am still not fanatic about the sport it was amazing reading some facts about F1. This was a forward I recieved from my friend. Read on - it will simply amaze you!

gMail - it's different!

I have been waiting desperately to lay my hands on gMail. Thanks to suman who invited me to open a gmail account (the beta version is not open-to-all yet).

Google revolutionized the Search Engine market with great google adwords concept (text ad). And now with email - they are not just another email service provider - they are innovating the way you managed your email.

The Past Glory

India has an amazing past. Science, Medicine, Math, Culture and so on. But I think we are still living in past while the rest of the world has move forward. This little cartoon is another example of our past glory. But if you relate it to the modern day, multi-tasking reminds me of Microsoft when it introduced Windows 3.1.

I think we should learn from the past and move towards the future. We are already loosing huge amount of IP (intellectual property).

Kinetic Flash Inspiration, Singapore

Singapore is small, beautiful, nice and neat. I was at M-Hotel participating in the Kinetic Flash Inspiration, a two-day Conference & Workshop organized by Asia Events. It was an event designed specially for Flash Developers. Frankly speaking, I’m not a Flash geek and I use Flash more for designing than Action Scripting. But I was there more as a Sponsor (ScreenSwift) and was looking forward to pick up some Action Scripting knowledge and see what designers and developers in Singapore were up to.
