Live Hotmail for new ‘Hotmail’ers
Posted in Uncategorized on May 8, 2007 | 1 Comment »
The first time I logged on to Hotmail was in my seventh standard. I registered for the e-mail service, but I never used that ID and I never came back to check if Hotmail was dead or still up and running.. [;)]
But the AJAX version of the new hotmail is much better than the [...]
Inquilab Zindabad!

Yes.. that is precisely the slogan shouted by several brave matryrs one and half century ago. It all began in Meerut (coincindentally the place where I was born). That too, about 500 meters from my ancestral home.
It was not just a sepoy mutiny. It was the beginning of a long and arduous freedom struggle.
It has [...]
Why the PS3 is doomed?
Posted in Uncategorized on May 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The PS3 launch in India seemed to be a very small event. It was supposed to be THE launch of the year, but it turned out to be quite the opposite. It has sent the wrong signals in the right places. First of all, it is super-exorbitantly priced at 39,000 bucks. Each new game title [...]

Save Power!

It was a rude shock to be woken up in the middle of the night to realize that there was no power. It seemed awkward that there was a power cut in one of the most affluent areas in Mumbai. So, please save power. Switch off lights, fans, air-conditioners, monitors when not in use. Try [...]
Getting my grip back..

As a part of the minimum-work requirements for my term to be granted in Communication Skills, I was supposed to give a presentation on any technical topic. The biggest relief was that I had the freedom to chose my topic. Quite obviously, I went for cryptography. Initially I was a bit wary of the presentation, [...]
