I remember the launch of Google Wave, a hyper-futuristic product from Google that launched with bells and whistles, made a lot of waves all around the web, remained a trending topic on Twitter for multiple weeks and did generate a lot of arguments among the tech fraternity.

For the first time, i saw anonymous folks begging a Wave invitation(It’s an Invite-only service till date) from me, solely for satisfying their curiosity for trying out Google Wave, all because of the surplus (probably non-deserving) hype around this sophisticated Google …

Now that Facebook has grown to well over 350 million users, it’s an uphill task for them to implement even a small policy change to the entire network population. You never know how users will react to the new policies. Nobody can forget the Beacon controversy and now there is another BIG Policy change rolling all across Facebook these days. And this one is tough, really tough to handle(did we hear why ?) Because, it’s about your Privacy folks.

Privacy is something that’s most critical for any Facebook user, as nowadays, …

Microsoft Office has been facing a strong challenger in the name of Google Docs for quite sometime but MS Office is the reigning enterprise app suite for years and the situation hasn’t radically changed so far. Early bird advantage and resistance to change are the two factors that are paying off hefty dividend to Microsoft Office till now.

Hypertext Markup Language, popularly known as HTML is well known to most of us. It is probably the first lesson taught to any guy who aspires getting into the field of web development. But XML, although high relevant to the web, has not gained awareness to great extent.

I certainly belong to that growing section of folks who have a huge dependence on their work machines and consider it so critical that they never leave it under anybody else’s custody. Our work machines usually nest all those critical docs, which we would never like to play risky with and that’s the reason why we want our sole & exclusive excess to our documents and other things.

In my case, i prefer keeping a password protection over certain  documents, which are confidential as per my understanding. But quite recently, i …

It’s interesting to look around and realise that the stuff we use on a daily basis, the gizmos we keep in our pockets, the machines we spend hours upon, the place we start browsing web from, the space that keeps us in touch with our friends, the platform that tells us what’s hot and what’s not, the virtual world that keeps us engaged for hours…is only because of some handful of tech folks out there.

There’s no exaggeration in calling them as Celebs, or may be Tech Celebs…

Here, you would see something much more …

In my early days with the whole new world of computers(internet came much later), there was a lot of stuff running ‘behind the scenes’, which i was completely unapprised of.

I only knew that i have to wait a couple of minutes after i power on the CPU and my computer will be ready to operate afterwards. I was not really interested what was happening before i could see my Windows wallpaper as my real interest was computer games, movies  and other stuff.
