Who says it is not possible to go back in time. For the past couple of days I was playing with a fairly new BlackBerry device and oh boy, it is like going back in time. The experience, interface, using scroll wheel to navigate mouse, navigation, reboots to install/replace an app etc. I mean, look [...]
Love this quote from Apple rep on this excellent story from Wired. When an AT&T representative suggested to one of Jobs’ deputies that the Apple CEO wear a suit to meet with AT&T’s board of directors, he was told, “We’re Apple. We don’t wear suits. We don’t even own suits.”
For the past 20+ years, we are used to using intermediate devices like Mouse and Keyboard for input. Their replacements are Touch and Voice. While we are not there today for Voice, we are certainly are getting there on Touch replacing mouse (atleast in portable devices). Whenever we see such fundamental changes, there is always [...]
Most of the industry has been underwhelmed with the iPad launch. I for one, actually think this is a great device. It may not be for us, techies, but for rest of the world, it is going to be a great device. This is a device I can hand it my grand father and he [...]

If you are wondering why you are using MS Windows or you already made your decision and would like to switch from MS Windows to Mac OS X please visit http://www.apple.com/getamac/ and use your Apple discount [...]
I am not sure about you, but I am really tired of all the social networking news out there. I guess I am sick of the hype surrounding it and I no longer follow it. I have a Facebook account (along with ton of others), connected to my friends, added Apps, joined groups, added photos, [...]
I was checking out my iPhone usage stats today and found that I did more than 1GB of data transfer on the iPhone just on the EDGE Network…excluding WiFi. This is freakishly high compared to my data transfer rates on my previous Blackberry Pearl. The Data Received itself crossed 1GB and the data sent is [...]
Here is another reason to use Online Apps.. For those who are heading to the US, here is a word of caution – the border agents can now search your laptop even without a cause. This follows a US Federal Appeals Court ruling, earlier this week, that agents at the border do not need any [...]
