Technology is definitely getting advanced. See this video where Pattie Maes of MIT with her student Pranav Mistry demonstrates the use of gestures for "doing" various things. Definitely worth a view...

Digital cameras are very affordable now. The best part is you don’t need a film and so you can on clicking as many photos as you want or as many as your storage allows. With this, many people now have lots of photos. With the reach of broadband increasing, they want to share online as well.Digital cameras now come with 6, 8 and 10 MP resolutions or even more. This leads to having photos which

Wishing everyone a very happy new year.All my techie friends, am sure you go through situations where people come and ask things like “what is a blog?”, “what is social networking?”….. etcI have faced it too.Lets divide the world .One side of the world – Huge population.

I was going through a blog from “Dumb little man” and found some very useful tips of searching in Google. Though I had read these before (not sure where), found them interesting and so am “pasting” them here. These should be available in Google’s site somewhere, but well, u got to search for it anyway. So, here it is….• Define searchIf you are unsure of a word's meaning, you can use the search

Google’s everywhere. Anything it does makes news and when Google releases a browser, it’s quite obvious to make big news. Every tech site speaks about Chrome, its speed, the tests they have performed to confirm Chrome’s speed, its “only tab crashes, not browser” feature etc.If you haven’t heard yet, the whole Chrome story is available in the form of comic.One issue I found in Chrome was that the

Google starts local search and without much noise. I was in Hyderabad last weekend and was surprised and happy to know that Google has entered into one more service – local search. Just call 1800 41 99 99 99 and you have the operator saying “Thank you for calling Google” I did not hear or read anywhere about this service (I havnt been keeping myself updated for the last few days), but this being

How safe is it to use credit cards here in India?The answer is in your hands .. I mean it .. if your card is in your hand, its safe. Else its not. Simple as that. I have seen very very few shops here that checks for authorized signature on a credit card.

Not sure how new is this or how old is this. But menu tabs of websites are also now used for advertising.I saw this in http://www.ibnlive.com/ website.

Recently, I havnt found time to blog. I did not find anything too interesting too. That’s when I decided to write about time itself. Time is really precious and one cannot find enough of it. Strange it is that many people have achieved so many things in the same time. When I say “same time”, I mean everybody has 24 hours a day. It’s just how you make use of it that makes the difference.

The first look is quite impressive. But as soon as I wanted to sign in or try it out, I faced an issue – I did not have the latest flash player. Looks like it does not work with just flash player 9, but needs the latest one (Adobe Flash Player version 9,0,115,0). Ok, update does not take much time.If anyone has any issues even after updating to the latest flash player (like I did), try

SMS2.0 is an upgrade on the default/normal SMS available on cellphones. It’s available in India, only on Airtel (as of now).You need to download this application and install it. The download is free.

Draggable ads are something new from Yahoo!. When you start composing email in the "New Style" Yahoo!, you would find these draggable ads to the right. There would be some characters or images there which you can drag into your email.Then you can just send that to your friends or so. When they open it, they can click on that image and visit the respective link.A very intuitive viral infact!

Also called Chilkur Balaji Temple or Visa Venkateshwara temple, the temple is located in Hyderbad. It is 33 kms from Mehedipatnam in Hyderabad.I had visited it recently as my dad had wanted to visit (mannant maange the). It’s quite a small temple. But the crowd is huge. There are thousands of people visiting everyday especially on weekends.It’s believed that whatever you wish for here comes true.
