The new Vaio AR series launched by Sony now comes with the much awaited Blu-Ray drive..

Windows Live Messenger And Yahoo Messenger Are Interoperable July 13, 2006
Posted by dEEPAK in /software, /tech.add a comment
Microsoft and Yahoo have started testing the interoperability between their IM clients: Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger 8. That means you can add MSN contacts to Yahoo Messenger and the reverse, send messages, view personal status messages, share emoticons, view offline messages.
You can join the beta by going to http://messenger.yahoo.com for Yahoo Messenger and here for Windows Live Messenger (use Internet Explorer).
There are other instant messengers that allow you to login on multiple IM networks simultaneously (for example, Gaim as a desktop client and Meebo from your browser), but this is the first real step in the interoperability of IM networks. The resulting IM network will have 350 million accounts. The next step will be the interoperability between Google Talk and AIM.
If Google Didn’t Exist… July 10, 2006

* our mail account would still have 2MB or 4MB of storage and we would be happy about that.
* we would find a mail by manually reviewing each subject and sender.
* we would pay for software like Picasa, Keyhole (now Google Earth), Sketchup.
* many startups would not exist without Google AdSense, so there would be less innovation.
* Opera would still be shareware and ad-supported.
* our homepage would be a portal, or about:blank.
* our search engines would be cluttered, would mix ads with organic results and wouldn’t care about the users.
* we wouldn’t look for a search bar in every site.
* we would think beta software is just for the testers and it’s dangerous.
* technology news would be less exciting.

If Google Ruled the world !!! June 21, 2006
Posted by dEEPAK in /fun, /google.add a comment
A blog called b3ta challenges tries to imagine how our world would look like if Google ruled it. Google would know your favourite songs, your past habbits, your friends so you could use it to find your keys, songs you used to listen or information about your bank account.
You could translate any book in your language, report information about fugitives using Google Maps, find Osama bin Laden, play with genetic engineering using Google DNA, find arguments pro or against any opinion.
Your shopping cart would have information about the products from Froogle. Outdoor banners would have non-obtrusive AdSense ads and every street sign will include maps from Google Maps.
