Recently, I came across a potential customer who was being sold RFID by a competitor.
Usually, this is a good sign. This means that the customer is serious about RFID and is already in a “ready” state of mind.
However, when talking with the client, he started using phrases such as IP68 protection, etc, etc. Now, usually, […]

Every tech blog worth it’s digital bytes seems to talk ad nauseum about how the iTunes Store has locked in users with the app purchases and hence it will be difficult for people to move from iPhones/iPads to competing devices.
Well, if that is the way you frame an argument, you know who has the biggest, […]

Case in point, my 2002 model ThinkPad X31 survives after years of drops and falls. And thats the story with many other T20’s from earlier.
But all newer thinkpads (even from 3 years ago) are breaking apart like cheapo Dell or HP units.
Post-Lenovo the ThinkPad brand is just a marketing label not a product-quality seal.
Proof: Writing […]

Airtel Marketing has some really cheap and nasty tricks up their sleeve …
Here are a few I have been targeted with recently:
1) They call you from an out-of-town landline number specifically when you are travelling and paying roaming charges per minute for incoming.
They make this call specifically to Airtel mobile customers only as they know […]

So, I got back to BLR airport last evening, and the moment you get out of baggage collection, you are flooded with large banners advertising Tata’s new GSM service in partnership with Japan’s NTT DoCoMo.

I like Tata, they are decent to their clients.
I’ve heard good things about NTT for years.
The bad:
Tata’s mobile experience in […]

So I am at the Dubai airport and surfing around (on their free wifi, Thanks guys!)
However, I just decided to check up on something I’ve only read online … what kind of websites are good (or bad) enough to be blocked.
And surprise, Facebook seems to work ok (even defaults to Arabic script) But […]

Anyone in the market to lend me 5-6 billion dollars?
“What the hell would I want to do with that much cash?” , you ask?
Well, according to this nicely drawn-up legend on NYTimes’ website, I could pick me up a Lehman Bros here, a  Washington Mutual there and even grab a decent majority chunk of Bear […]

I have a problem with Google fanboys speaking of how Google Reader is much faster on Google’s own browser, Chrome.
These are mostly the same people who complained that Microsoft Office works better with Microsoft Windows (vs. Mac)
BTW, I’m a Firefox user!
But I will give Chrome a fair chance on my desktop too, so there.

Seriously, I am!
- Says the yellow thingy!
(BTW, when do they expect us to use it? If the A/C turns off due to a power failure?)

Most people who know me also know that I don’t particularly like Micro$oft bashing as a sport primarily because it’s not just them.
It’s just that I never had enough non-Microsoft examples to prove why I thought so. However, slowly, over the years, it’s coming out …
Apple’s iPhone 2.0 has a special “feature” that connects to […]
