Time Magazine's quote on Sachin

2010-03-03T11:36:00.000+05:30

"When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam.When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy.It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will."

Flash on iPhone...its coming

2008-02-12T10:42:00.000+05:30

http://www.gearlive.com/news/article/q108-flash-on-iphone-is-just-around-the-corner/

Here are some of the excerpts from the article:

"Well, we’ve just got word from a reliable source that Flash support is on its way to the iPhone, and it should be coming very, very soon. Speculating a bit further on our own, we are guessing that it would be pretty convenient for Flash support to be introduced alongside the iPhone SDK,.."

" Flash has not yet made it to the iPhone solely due to business negotiations. As we said, it is now on it’s way! "

Now search music by singing it..midomi.com

If you hear some songs while on the move or heard some ad jingles and feel listening to it again, http://www.midomi.com/ is a best place for you especially if you don't know who the artist or the album is. Yes, you can serach the song by singing a rendition.

Other visitors can also listen to your rendition if you have a good match. I did try "Hotel California" and results does list the song along with other 15 similar ones...seems like my singing abilities are not bad :)

Tera-Disc to make HD and Blu-Ray obselete

2007-08-28T13:23:00.001+05:30

With 1000Gb = 250DVD = 20 Blu-Ray, are these tera-discs going to make HD and Blu-Ray obselete?

Thats what says Tech UK article at: http://www.tech.co.uk/home-entertainment/hi-fi-and-audio/other-playback-and-recording-formats/news/how-to-fit-1tb-of-data-on-one-cd-sized-disc?articleid=1665250963&source=rss

Here are some of the excerpts from the article:

"Blu-ray and HD DVD have pushed the limits of optical storage further than anyone thought possible. But a new technology has emerged which makes Blu-ray's 50GB capacity look tiny. Mempile in Israel says it's able to fit an incredible 1TB of data onto one "TeraDisc" which is the same size as CDs and DVDs. That's 20 times the capacity of a maxed-out dual-layer Blu-ray disc"

Highest capacity discs ever
"The TeraDisc is made of a material which is highly responsive to two-photon writing and reading. This allows us to write anywhere in that we can focus a red laser onto the disc, e.g. multiple layers," Dr. Erez told TFOT.info."

On a 1TB disc, you could store:
212 DVD-quality movies
250,000 MP3 files
1,000,000 large Word documents

Is Microsoft Silverlight a Flash competitor?

2007-08-23T19:30:00.000+05:30

Microsoft recently announced "Silverlight" which it says "is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of Microsoft .NET–based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web."

1.37MB installer installed seamlesly in my Vista and woks fine in my Firefox too.

My experience with "Expression Studio" was not really a good one(with a lot of bugs in it) I think silverlight lacks a punch which Flash delivers in terms of graphics and interactivity.

The only one feature I liked in "Silverlight" was 3D transformation of bitmap images, but tools like "Papervision 3D" for Flash will definitely fill this vacuum.

They also have a new site http://www.tafiti.com/ similar to Live.com or msn search which uses "Silverlight" to interactively deliver search results. Doesn't seem to be quick and as compelling as Flash.

Current web design trends

2006-07-27T11:40:00.000+05:30

I came across this site which talks about today's trends in Web Designing. Eventhough I dont do any web-designing these days I do keep track of these trends. It always amuses me how these evolution taking place in the web-designing front. I think AJAX is adding a lot of values to these designs(like those show/hide transitions in iconbuffet.com ). But can anyone beat Google's web page design technique? I think its more of usability than design which attracts user to websites and ofcourse AJAX can make it work even better. Here is the link to the site which talks about all these new trends - http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/current-style.cfm

Long time no see :)

2006-07-26T13:03:00.000+05:30

Its been a long time since I had updated my blog. Main reason is being my job change. After leaving Adobe(formerly Macromedia) I didnt get much time writing a blog entry and now I felt OK let update it. Nowadays -
1. I develop games (yes, using Flash 8 the software for which I worked as a QA Enginner, feels great and no much bugs though)
2. I have started developing some AS2 API's for Flickr Services. I know there are already some API's avialable but this is mine :)
3. I bought one PC. Infact I bought it in bits and pieces and assembled it (yes, myself). Its really a powerful one. P4 Dual Core, IGB of RAM, NVidia GEFORCE GT7300 GPU, 200GB HD, DVD Writer and ofcourse a LCD monitor.
4. I play games(I mean PC games). Currently active with NFS MostWanted and those cops give me goose bumps.

This weekend Im leaving to London for a business visit. Will upload the photos of my trip as I get them.

I reached SFO last Sunday (19 July, 2005). I really enjoyed my first trip out of my country. I took a flight from Bangalore -> Singapore -> HongKong and finally to San Francisco. Best part was 12.30Hrs flight form HongKong to SFO. I met my old colleague in Singapore airport transit. It was a great experince altogether at Singapore airport and I was amazed with the infrastructure, shopping malls at Singapore airport. HongKong was not different. Back in SFO its totally a different experince and every thing looks totally different. It is like I'm reborn some where else. I seem to be liking the food over here, even though I dont get some spicy ones which I like. I bought one Kodak Z740 digital camera and I need to start posting them now. Here is the one to start with.

Now.... Explorer Gets Tabs

2005-05-17T14:47:00.000+05:30

New Explorer Gets Tabs

Almost five years after the first tabbed browsers appeared on the market, Microsoft is finally getting in on the feature.

Early this morning, Dean Hachamovitch, IE product unit manager, announced on the IE blog that Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) will include tabbed browsing.

"Some people have asked why we didn't put tabs in IE sooner," Hachamovitch wrote on the blog. "Initially, we had some concerns around complexity and consistency. "I think we made the wrong decision here initially, and we're making the right one now," he added.

Tabbed browsing has been commonly requested by IE users. In a July 2004 online chat, Hachamovitch and his team were bombarded with questions about when and if the feature would be added.

My Comment:
I dont understand why Microsoft waited so long. Tabbed browsing is a very old story. Is it because of some copyrights? I dont think so....after all microsoft does not seem to be having any of his own ideas when it comes to softwares and UI's. may be now they might be thinking..'better late than never'...u got to go a long way....gates....

IBM Urges Employees to Blog With Care!!!!

2005-05-17T14:41:00.000+05:30

IBM Urges Employees to Blog With Care

Big Blue is encouraging its 320,000 worldwide employee to join the blogosphere. They are also being warned to be careful.

In a post to the company's intranet site today, IBM posted draft rules for employees when they write on IBM-related topics, whether at work or on their time. On official IBM blog sites, employees are encouraged to use them in a way that "adds value to IBM's business."

For IBMers hosting their own blogs on company-related topics, the post recommends using their best judgment and to make it clear that the views and opinions expressed are theirs alone and don't necessarily represent the official views of IBM.

According to the post, IBM's internal blogging service has grown in 18 months to approximately 9,000 registered users. Externally, the company hosts more than 20 blogs on a variety of developer-focused topics.

Post author James Snell, a member of IBM's Software Standards Strategy Group, said with IBMers "blogging both inside and outside our intranet environment," IBM felt it was time to "formalize [its] support for what many of us had been doing for quite some time."

Most notably, the IBM draft guidelines focus on how IBMers can blog and still keep their jobs.

"The core principlesare designed to guide IBMers as they figure out what they're going to blog about so that dont end up like certain notable ex-employees of certain other notable companies," the post states.

IBM says employees should a disclaimer that states the author is an employee of IBM but the opinions contained in the blog are solely the author's. In addition, company proprietary information is off limits to bloggers and clients, partners and suppliers should not be referenced without their opinion.

"IBM believes in dialogue with among IBMers and with our partners, clients, members of the many communities in which we participate and the general public," Snell wrote. "We believe that IBMers can both derive and and provide important benefits from exchanges of perspective."

However, Snell notes, "IBM trusts -- and expects -- IBMers to exercise personal responsibility when they blog. IBMers should not use this medium for covert marketing or public relations."

Snell said IBMers should avoid some of the more common practices of blogging, including hiding behind anonymity. IBM, Snell said, believes in transparency.

"If you are blogging about your work for IBM, we encourage you to use your real name, be clear who you are and identify you work for IBM," Snell wrote.

"Nothing gains you notice in the blogosphere more than honesty -- or dishonesty

BBC NEWS | Technology | E-mail worm throws up hate spam: "E-mail worm throws up hate spam

The original worm offered tickets to the World Cup
A nasty side-effect for machines infected by the recent computer worm Sober-P has been revealed.
The worm has opened up a backdoor for a spam engine which has been downloading hate messages to all infected machines.
The inboxes of affected PCs have been filling with messages linked to right-wing German websites.
Sober-P grabbed attention at the beginning of the month, in Germany and around the world. The German version offered tickets to the 2006 World Cup.
Political spam
Now it has revealed a darker side and since Saturday has been downloading a spam engine - dubbed Sober-Q - which has bulk e-mailed links to right-wing German websites to all the PCs originally infected by Sober-P.
Politically motivated spam is a relatively recent development with the majority of junk e-mail aimed at emptying wallets with offers of porn, health cures and financial assistance.
The fact that the spam engine was kicked into effect by an earlier worm shows a 'long-term desire' on the part of the author, and one that has been successful.
Security firm Clearswift said it was seeing as many as ten right-wing spam messages every minute.
'The original worm was obviously very successful and the volume of spam is huge,' added Clearswift's threat lab manager, Pete Simpson. "

Weekend cricket.....

2005-04-04T14:01:00.000+05:30

Cricket last Staurday was good(Not the Indo pak, match we played at Arekere MICO layout ground). Everybody seems to be happy playing cricket after 3 months. Infact we won both the matches we played!!!! Even though we are not playing next week(due to Ugadi) I hope we will continue the trend.

Mysore trip...

2005-02-03T14:43:00.000+05:30

Last weekend as planned I went to Mysore. It was just fun travelling in my bike for almost 350kms. I stayed in Mysore for a day. Ivisited couple of places there. I have posted some of the photos here which I took during my visit. (camera wasnt really good!!)
Have fun

Thank God Its Friday..!!!

2005-01-29T00:41:00.000+05:30

It does seems as if everything is going well this morning. I think Friday has it all. A early morning walk can do a lot for your day, especially when you run behind a paperboy to get your copy of a daily. Finally after 2 weeks of struggle!! I got my daily subscription. I planning for a trip outside Bangalore this weekend. Its been a long time since I travelled. Anyway no plans as yet, but I will plan starting now. I hope I get some interesting stuff to write on Monday after my trip. Its fun travelling.
I read about John Grishams new novel this morning. Titled "THE BROKER" it seems tobe a interesting one after reading the reviews. But I still have'nt read 'DA VINCI CODE'....what a shame...no time....lets hope for the best..

My new home.

2005-01-24T14:47:00.000+05:30

I shifted to new house on Saturday(Jan 22 2005, this is for my ref...). Its a single room with kitchen and attached toilet batroom. Its quite small, but i like the place very much due to the fact that its very near to my office and area is clean and green. Ofcourse its 1km from Jayanagar 4th block :)

Today I got a first glimpse of Mas OS-x...I`m lucky I got G5 with dual processor with 1GB ram...cool. My initial opinion about Mac is that, its scrappy, not userfriendly. But, I like the animations..especially the genie effetct, its amazing and I dont know when windows comes out with some thing like that....let me explore Mac for now..
