Is it the new Ipod Nano....


Kevin Rose of Digg is the one to unearth the first photograph(may be) of the new, yet to be released Ipod Nano. It looks more like a curvier beast, thinner than its predecessors and definitely good looking. 

Going by the way that the new Iphone 3g is being offered at lower prices, can we expect this one to be released at subsidized prices. I haven't had a nano till date. I guess I would buy one of these just to get the feel of an Ipod nano....

Windows 7 new pics...




I am very excited after viewing these pics. I guess Windows 7 will regain what Vista has lost for Microsoft. All the cool gadgets and the pretty graphics make my heart melt. I will be head over heels, whenever this new version is gonna come out of the dark...

Michael Phelps Underwater Computing...


This is a real picture captured at University of Michigan’s swimming pool (where Phelps was studying) and not any Photoshop job. He is seen working on his macbook which I am sure is already dead, LOL. But this pic is really cool. The furniture makeup around is awesome.

Finally India stands tall but...


It has been a very long wait for the Indians at the Olympics, just for winning their first individual gold medal. It was like a dream come true for the whole nation. Mr. Abhinav Bindra has won the 10 metres air rifle event on Monday morning at the Beijing Olympics giving India its first gold medal, not just at the Beijing but in the pages of history as well. It might prove to be the stepping stone for future is what all the media is shouting from their roof-tops.

But considering the population of over 100 crores, considering the fact that India isn't an underdeveloped country, considering the fact that there were more than 50 athletes in the Olympics team of India, earning just a gold medal or a silver or a bronze is not enough, is just not enough. I am not belittiling Mr. Bindra for his tremendous achievement but I am urging for more, just more than one or two medals.

We need not ask for all the athletes to come back home only with medals, but atleast give a tough fight, rather than losing in a pitiful way just in the first round itself. The media which praises for just one medal and thrashes the players for not winning has a lot of responsibility when it comes to highlighting the woes of the athletes when they are training for the olympics. Though there is a lot being spent in the name of sports but how much of it is being spent in the right way and how much of it is fruitful to the athletes. Just think once and act a thousand times, for the betterment of our country's position in the world charts, in all the fields.

Ofcourse, I would be over the moon to congratulate Mr. Abhinav Bindra for his tremendous achievement of winning the first-ever Individual Gold for India in the Olympics....

Debbie says "Am I Rich..."?


The girl in the above pic. named Debbie Norom is a resident of L.A. But that doesn't make her any special. Neither her cozy, smart car drenched in bird droppings is the one that attracts our attention to this young beautiful lady. But the recent apple store app purchase that she made brought her instant fame but it came for her the other way. 

She is one of the 8 persons who brought the $1000 worth, worthless "I Am Rich" Iphone app from the Apple store. From then on Miss. Norom is being mentioned as moron instead of Norom on many websites around the globe. Though she has no regrets regarding this issue but $1000, I believe is definitely a big amount. Though the Apple store has removed the app pretty soon, she is way to faster than the store administration itself. Way to go Debbie...

Google Basic Storage...


In 1996, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were Stanford University graduate students, working on their Digital Library Project, later known as Google. They needed a lot of storage, and the largest hard disk available was 4 gigabytes. So they connected ten of them together and built their own 40GB drive, in a case made of of Legos.

This is an article that I got my hands on through Digg. Actually what brought the interest in me was the way the author dugg the story. He just linked the article to a pic so that there won't be much bandwidth problems. For further understanding of this article Click Here...
