I’m a Microsoft fanboy. People who know me, know that.
However, let me tell you about stuff that has happened to me over the last week …
Outlook did something stupid last week… I could not see the “content/body” of my emails. Just the “from address” and “subject line”. I could not see the “body” […]

Here’s one way …
A cousin of mine didn’t get (or maybe “didn’t want”) a cellphone while he was so young. So he never bothered to push his parents for one over the years.
Then, over this summer, he started borrowing his mom’s cellphone to send text messages. When the bill came, it was high enough that […]

This has been in the back of my mind for a while now, ever since I started reading about how cool Palm’s new WebOS is. Then followed by their hardware design (that Pre slider is awesome). Then followed by stories of how sloppy their hardware build quality was and finally about how difficult it has […]

I have been using Windows Live Mesh software on my personal laptops (Windows 7 and Windows XP) and on Surabhi’s laptop (Windows Vista) for a few months now.
It is a wonderful software that allows you to do some interesting stuff in a very user friendly manner.

I have used Symbian as my phone OS for a while, not because of the OS itself, but because of the hardware it supports.
First it was the Sony Ericsson, then some Nokia’s. I need a full keyboard, and aside from the Blackberries, Nokia’s have the best keyboard (E-series).
But over the last few months, the complete […]

There was a pleasant surprise when I started using Microsoft CRM 4.0 last month.
Indian companies can actually use the support for lakh and crore instead of millions and billions that they are forced to use with other software packages.
Indian style: 12,34,56,789 (That is 12 crores, 34 lakhs, 56 thousands and 7 hundreds…) […]

I recently had to format my laptop because I was using a beta version of Windows 7, which expired.
And this happened on day 2 of a 11 day trip. Yes, bhagwan help me, I know.
However, the logic I follow with laptops or desktops is that I keep a separate partition on the hard drive with […]

With my current focus on providing real world (read: ready to use) RFID applications to clients, it often becomes more necessary to take an existing solution and replicate it rather than start from scratch or provide lots of innovative thinking.
As far as I am concerned, this isn’t always cool, but usually necessary.

I wish there was more flux to life. A better, simpler and easier way to make sure things kept moving along.
*warning* I like you; dear reader. So it’s only fair to warn you that this is probably one of my rare rants about nothing in particular and everything in general.
