Why use Gmail ?

I know most of you must have seen this video, but just thought of giving Gmail some publicity ...



Personally i prefer Gmail because the facilities i enjoy in it. it really redefined the old boring email into one happening email account. although Yahoo! and Hotmail nicely followed everything Gmail offered, they still can't beat Gmail i would say...

Hanging around girls

A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

I found out this through Lohitha, however its written by a person called DragonflyBlade21 (god knows who). Anyway its kinda true i guess ...

Huh ?

The largest software development company in the world Microsoft, launched its new operating system Windows Vista. The operating systems comes in several versions,
  1. Windows Vista Starter Edition
  2. Windows Vista Home Basic
  3. Windows Vista Home Basic Upgrade
  4. Windows Vista Home Premium
  5. Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade
  6. Windows Vista Business
  7. Windows Vista Business Upgrade
  8. Windows Vista Ultimate
  9. Windows Vista Ultimate Upgrade
  10. Windows Vista Enterprise Edition
No one really understands the version differences of these but there lot of opinions about these; either way the installation procedure of this is yet to be sorted out. Some versions require previous versions of Windows installed such as 2000/XP and those CD Keys.

However, i feel this is very complicated and messy and from the users perspective there is nothing much to be Wowed about it. Probably the results of Vista will be revealed in the future but definitely not now.

In the mean time Apple is catching up the market so fast, an operating system with less complications, very easy even a child can install and run the operating system. The Apple is even better with the support for the Windows operating systems and now powered by world renown Intel processors and best of all, it comes for the same price.

Anyway, we'll just wait and see what happens; for those who are thinking of Vista right now... Think twice ...

DAVE


The Digital Audio Video Experience is a unit which houses a 1.8in hard drive available in either 10GB or 20GB capacities. There is also a USB port. So far so very normal.

Where things get innovative however is in Dave’s other connectivity. The drive sports Bluetooth and WiFi and can be paired with any Bluetooth capable device – be it a phone, PDA or laptop – and act as wireless storage. Once paired the device can navigate Dave as if he were any traditional storage device and transfer files, play media or even perform backups.

Since Dave is designed to be completely independent of your connected devices he is equipped with his own battery (10 hours operation) and even sports a microprocessor to power all his connectivity. As for the dent he’ll make in your pocket, it will be similar to that of a small mobile phone with measurements of 61 x 89 x 12mm and 70g weight.

Interestingly, Seagate won’t be marketing Dave itself but instead negotiating direct with manufacturers in the hope they will bundle him with their handsets.

With an anticipated RRP of around $200 Dave doesn’t come cheap and with memory card capacities increasing exponentially he is surely only a stop gap product. But he’s a cool stop gap product and we wouldn’t want to hurt his feelings.

Look for Dave when he is likely to be rechristened Nokia, Motorola, Samsung or Sony Ericsson around May/June.
