Chrome OS sneak peek


A neat and clean boot screen takes less than 5 secs to start.. Pretty fast and simple.. You can log in with your google account and access to any of the apps you can see in the next pic.

Here is the first screenshot of the Chromium OS. What you can see is the host key operation. Sundar(VP product marketing, Google) says that the UI will be changed in the beta release. This one is fine 'almost'. I've never loved chrome as a browser, FIREFOX still rocks..

An original post

After listening to a great lecture on originality and how Indians lack originality, I decided to come up with some great original ideas. Here I share some of them with you :

  1. The Bluetooth condom : I'm thinking of inventing such a condom which can be operated directly from the phone. I think this will save people from embarrassment of putting it on in front of their special ones. Moreover we can have an alarm system, which notifies if you forget to switch it on. Further research on this is required which I am doing right now. Will post the updates soon.
  2. A SEX jammer : we can have places with sex jammers, which can help in preventing sex in public places like offices. Like an wi-fi router, a device can be installed in the office/mall which automatically connects to all the mobile devices in that particular area. A message will be sent to the server as soon as the phone experiences jerks.
  3. Wasex : Now this is a project which has a great potential. Like google wave we can have wave sex –wasex where people can have real time conversation or tweets with each other and one can find immediate solution to his/her sex related problems. I think this is going to change the way virgins make out.


There are a lot of other ideas as well. But I am not willing to post them here. Copyright has always been an issue whenever some great ideas have originated in this world.


Note : never attend philosophy lectures.


P.S : by reading this post if you are unable to image my level of frustration, then let me tell you it has been two days since I've been waiting for google wave invites.

Blog! Blog! Blog

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
- Charles Dickens

P.S : My lovely readers (i know only three of you will take the pain of reading) this post is just to tell indiblogger that I'm still actively blogging. They are going to give me free passes for Foster's pool side party in valley view. :)

Howz life!!

Yesterday I was in Pune with Sankalp Sir. I visited the FTII campus and fell in love with it.If you want to be a film maker that is the only right place and the wisdom tree is the place to have new ideas..This one day is surely gonna change my life.

After having a good time with Anusha over dinner, I came back to my hotel room and started talking to sankalp sir. He told me all about socialism, capitalism and communism. It covered almost all the domains of human life... He told me that there is so much poverty in Bangladesh that people are ready to work like animals for 24 hours continuously for a mere wage of Rs.20. This long eye-opener lecture continued for almost 4 hours covering all the aspects of human life - money, religion, entertainment, happiness etc. etc. In the end I asked a really dumb question - I don't think I can change the situation sir, can I? He just smiled and then said :

In my time no King lost his throne, no Kingdom was upturned, no noble men lost feathers but they all would have slept a little more comfortably if I wasn't alive.

and

The effects of a good work can not be stopped from spreading by anyone. - Gautam Buddha.

Hope and confidence is what I got in life in those 4 hours.... and anusha ask me once more howz life?this time the anser would be - wonderful...

Mumbai salsa

After a long time and enough of boredom, I’m back to share my experiences with two regular and one casual reader. A long post, after a long time. Let me start with 2nd June 2009 :

41 messages and 23 calls marked that I have turned 19. The most unexpected thing is that it all happened in Mumbai. 73 new notifications on facebook(which I still can’t use wisely)made it clear that I’m going to have a tough time replying them. I met Sankalp Sir that day and the confirmed internship came to be the best birthday gift ever. For the first time Mumbai seemed to be good, as I was walking on the clouds [sky walk as it is called location - bandra]. I was not at all surprised when ajinkya told me that it is a failed project, after all it is Mumbai, how can one appreciate the sense of space and calmness. I loved it as much as a Mumbaikar would hate it.

June 3rd - I was enjoying my Mumbai yatra with a guide who has no direction sense. Went to colaba and came across the oldest café I have ever visited – Leopolds. Being a Shantaram bhakta it was really nice to be there till it came to paying Rs.35 for 300ml sprite. I cursed David Roberts for mentioning the place in his book. It is a nice place if you have a big wallet/you’ve got angrej friends.

I had the best internship one could ever imagine of…. All play and no work makes shakti a grown up guy. All that gyan he gave me will be discussed in the next post.
Three things are there for sure – I’m not in love, I miss manipal the most, Media industry is a bitch.[can you beat that BABA] More of melodrama later.

P.S : It’s time to go senti as my internship is about to end and Sankalp sir is leaving for Nagpur. No more intelligent chats, musical evenings and gmail. I’m gonna miss this place…

परीक्षा

हर तरफ़ परीक्षा का साया है,
इससे कोई नहीं बच पाया है।
पेपर में जो भी आया है,
क्लास में किसी ने नहीं पढाया है।
फ़िर भी किसी ना किसी को A+ आएगा,
पता नहीं ऐसा दिमाग किसने पाया है।
मेरे लिए तो सब ऊपर वाले की माया है,
पेपर में जो भी लिखाया है, सब अगल बगल वालों ने दिखाया है।


अंत में एक ही सत्य है बंधू - सब मोह माया है...

Every text has a KAUNtext

This boring place becomes really interesting as soon as you get a controversial sms. Then you receive 10 more comments on that sms(via sms only) your phone ring seems to be a bazooka which pierces your ear drums.

No one cares how it started.. why it started?..
what matters is who started it the KAUNtext matters more than the context......
