Sony slides-in the "X-Series" silently...

Here is the new X-series Sony Vaio from Sony and it was unveiled in an event in New York City. They are going to cost you a cool $1300 but there are lot of justifications for that price. It is made up of carbon fibre and guess what it is the lightest weighing notebook ever made at a cool 1.6 pounds. Of course this is unbelievable but you have to believe me on this.


Not just that but this beauty is equipped with a 2 GHz atom processor and they are now running Windows 7 Operating system which is a WOW! It also sports a 2GB ram and 128 GB solid state drive along with a 11.1" widescreen display. You can also extend the regular battery to a 14 hour long working battery.

Google Homepage minimalistic to the core...

As I mentioned yesterday that Google is working on some new functionality with its homepage, it came out to be true and it is widespread now. From Yesterday morning Google homepage is minimalistic to the extreme. In the morning itself, I experienced this approach of Google.


I don't know what good is this function gonna do to Google except for some graphic work that might slow it down while loading or it might be the one that helps in faster loading of the page, I seriously don't know what's happening. Your comments are always welcome...

There is the party box which includes the contents of the box, a Windows 7 poster, a bag that is tattooed with Windows 7 logo, four streamers, some balloons, Win 7 cocktail napkins and of course the best part is here. You will also get a Windows 7 Ultimate signature edition - signed by Steve Ballmer himself. That's a catch isn't it???

Venky, Indian born, biologist wins the "Nobel"...

Dr. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, aged 58, who is a structural biologist by profession has been awarded with the most prestigious Nobel Prize in the field of Chemistry. Venky had his early education in the states of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat and then he has moved over to the United States to pursue his goals and now there he is standing tall with the Noble Prize.

I am proud that an Indian born has won the prize but I am a bit sad that he isn't from India right now nor were he nominated from India. It's ok but still he is Indian by nature, I guess. Achieving such a prestigious award is less to none. He is receiving this award for his work on proteins that control life. Congrats Mr. Venkatraman.

Yahoo logo makes a sound similar to "Yahooooooooo" !!!

Someone was telling me today about their new catch. Whenever you get a chance, go to the Yahoo search homepage and if you can see the exclamatory mark that ends the Yahoo logo. Try and locate the dot in the exclamatory mark and click exclusively on it. You will hear the dot screaming out "Yahooooooooo"!!! in a sweet lady voice.

Remember to pump up the volume and definitely it is not safe for work, remember this...

Google Fading Homepage - Minimalistic to the extreme...

Google is said to be testing out the new functionality of minimalizing its homepage to the extreme. They are said to be testing out a new fading in functionality(don't know why?) for their home page of Google Search. You will now be seeing just the google Logo and the search box. You can no more see the "Google Search" button or the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. These buttons are dropped from this experimental new Google Home page design.

This is said to be just an experiment and can't say if they stick to the same design. But there is this functionality where-in these buttons will return back when you move the mouse. Just check it in the video above.

Google chrome Themes by Artists.... Cute Move....

Slowly but steadily Google Chrome is winning hearts of net users. It is now targeting the areas where Firefox has been dominant and trying to master the trade. One such move is made yesterday and it involves Google Chrome 3, which comes with themes that you can download and install. Now they have intro-ed a new section called Themes by Artists.


This new addon to Google Chrome is such a cool thing. Its more like the themes addon for Firefox but here it is something different as you don't need to go to some other section and download them and install them. Chrome does all this for you and you can enjoy freely all the themes available. When you just press the "Apply Theme" button below the themes, Chrome automatically downloads the theme and installs it for you.


If you are in a doubt about how to access the themes in your Chrome browser, first update your browser to chrome 3.0 and then go to the tools section on the top right corner and then go to the "options" field and then select "Personal stuff" tab and in there you will find the "Get Themes" button. Upon clicking this button you will be directed to the themes page where you can play around.

Apple's Job offer letter...

You might have seen so many job offer letters from different companies like Microsoft, GE, Google or Youtube, but now I am presenting a job offer letter from none other than Apple. It looks more like a big ipod than an offer letter to me. What's common between an ipod and an apple job offer letter. They are white in color, they have an Apple logo on them and both of them will drag you into the closely knit Apple family. That's where the comparison ends.

But seriously guys just look at the job offer letter, it is soooooo boring. Of course, I heard that the pay checks are pretty heavy out there. If the checks are heavy, who cares how good looking is an offer letter.

Nature's fury in INDIA....

These are the heart paining pictures from the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, where the floods in one river has caused havoc everywhere and left lakhs of people homeless and killed hundreds of them. Crores of paddy fields and agricultural lands have now become cemetery grounds for the dead animals and humans. Still the floods aren't under control but a large part of it is over now.

This is just a picture of how nature can show its fury on mere human soles. This is just to show how unpredictable nature can be and how dangerous it can be. May all the souls of the dead Rest In Peace. May the almighty be with those who lost their near and dear. Hope those people stay strong.

Evolution of Cell phone - By Benj Edwards...

Here's an interesting article written by Benj Edwards for PC World website about the evolution of cellphones and he has got some great stuff about how the cell phones and their technology have evolved over time. It is one of the fastest growing areas of technology and definitely, we need to keep an eye on what's happening, what has happened and what will be happening. Here is a glimpse of the article "Evolution of The Cell Phone" by Benj Edwards.

In his Words, "From enormous, 80-pound, car-mounted beasts to tiny terminals in our back pockets, mobile phones have come a long way. What once cost thousands, weighed 2 pounds, and packed 60 minutes of battery life now costs $99, weighs 4 ounces, and packs 5 to 10 hours of battery life and also includes a full-fledged computer, a video camera, audio/video playback, and high-speed Internet access." This is what he says about the evolution of cell phones.

This article interested me a lot and I thought it might be as interesting to you as well. Just thought to share with you. Follow the link below.

World's 5 smallest countries, amazing !!!

Do you know how big is your country, do you have any idea how high/low is your country ranked on the basis of area/land. Here is a list of 5 smallest countries in the world compiled by neatorama, and the list goes as below:


This is the list of smallest countries according to the size of the land that they cover and that is based on the information that is provided by the authorities. But how funny is it that a place as big as a football field is a country and another country which is as big as a park has become the home for 35,000 people. How crazy is that???

Foxytunes - Media players at your mercy !!!

If you are one of those guys (like me), who listens to music 25 hrs a day and still want to be productive, then, here's a solution exclusively for you. If you use firefox or Internet Explorer as your default browser for your work, then just download this addon called foxytunes which slips in like a banana and will help manage your media players efficiently.


Foxytunes is a small little addon that works both with IE and firefox. It just sits there silently and automatically syncs with the media player that is presently active and shows up what content is playing around. That means you don't always need to go to the media player window to see what's the song that is being played or you dont need to go back to the player everytime to skip a song or to skip forward and backward.

Foxytunes does all that stuff for you. You can simply play/pause, skip forward or go back directly from the small tab bar that sits in your browser. Just not that, foxytunes integrates itself with almost all the known media players and is efficient to the core. You can also control the volume of your system from the browser just by clicking on the foxytunes tab bar, how cool is this!!! The surprises just don't end there, you can also control online media players like youtube, rhapsody, last.fm, yahoo media juke box and lot others as well with just a click. Just follow the link below to download and enjoy your music...

Back up your cds/dvds and stay safe...

Basically you use the cds and dvd media for backing up your files or just for file transfer. But if you have some serious stuff with you and if you need to save those files, then you seriously need to consider backing them up. The best method to back up according to me is cd/dvd backup. I don't feel secure with those external hard drives, because if there is some slight problem with a hard drive that measures upto 1 TB, then the whole bunch of files will be damaged and in most cases, there won't be any hope for retrieval.

Ok now the best chance for you is cd/dvd media. But do you know that if you are not using this kinda media for a while or if they are stored in a dusty place or in open air, they are susceptible to damage or wear and tear. This means you need to do back ups again and again. That's the only headache with them. But this is the best method I believe. Make your data safe and live happily...

Women are ruling the social web, How Cool !!!!

At last there is some justice being done to the women folk and this justice is not done by the mere souls of men but by women themselves. We know that everywhere Women are suppressed and are made to lay low, but slowly the world is changing and women are asking for equal rights and just not that, they are fighting for their rights tooth and nail.

The above picture depicts how the women have been faring in the web front in the United States of America. They have surpassed men in almost all the websites usage except for a few and just not that, these websites are mostly from the technology background or from the social networking side. Technology once believed to be the man thing is now being ruled by the girls. Way to go women folk. Love you all...

Youtube down for maintenance...

Usually I am a big fan of youtube and all my video and music hunger is quenched by the illegal, copyright infringed videos of Youtube. As usual, today I tried to access some video song on youtube and when I searched for it, there was some error as the required search wasn't returned. Even when I clicked on one of the videos, I couldn't access anyone of them and I was worried if something was wrong with my system.

What actually happened was there was some maintenance going on in Youtube and that's the reason why I couldn't access any of those videos. Generally Youtube does informs in advance of a scheduled maintenance but not this time. Don't know why, may be I missed it.
