How Windows 10 can conquer?

It's very easy, just get back the stupid Start button. Yes, that's what the think tank in Bellevue did. From the leaked images of windows 10, one thing for sure, is that the good old start menu is going to be back and it is going to be awesome with added functionality. Now you can add your favorite apps on the start menu, which is incredibly cool. In case you are interested what's in store from Microsoft head over here...

What else do I want in there? For all the compatible devices please give Windows 10 as a free upgrade rather than selling those student, home, premium crap. On top of that, add the basic Office suite as an inbuilt app and auto backup functionality for all docs with at least 100 gig free online storage in 'the cloud'. Have the same functionality irrespective of the platform, may it be desktop or tablet or phablet or a mere phone.
What else do I want, yes make it open source and let the developers do what they want...

Wait, what am I asking for here... A version of Chrome OS from Microsoft... Crazy me...

Hello Ello because...

Been hearing a lot about Ello social network from the past few hours and I don't feel weird yet. I have been through this phase several times before and I will probably be in the same phase several times in the future as well.

What is Ello? It is an invite only social network and it is anti-facebook, at least that is what they proclaim. Currently they are registering around 30000 new users every hour and it is growing. Considering the fact that they had a few hundred members in the last month, this is tremendous achievement. But will they survive the blitz, only time will tell.

When we used to talk about time, in the good old days, it was measured in years but now it's just months or in some cases it's just days. When Facebook came up, all the users from other social networking sites like MySpace and Orkut immediately jumped onto the new wagon as people now a days want something new, every other second. We can't blame them for that, we are all evolving.

Coming back to Ello, can I get a free invite please? Let's see how it plays, and by the way did I tell you it is OK with pron, LGBT and NSFW stuff as well...
