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” […]

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.
1) Share a file and it is immediately available on […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

For a very long time, many people complained about the lame-brained approach of Microsoft to reduce a full-sized desktop OS and squeeze it onto Pocket PC’s and call it, well, Pocket PC!
Apple now takes an OS designed for a phone and tries to magnify it to fit a larger tablet/desktop?
Seriously?!
So far, after reading the reviews […]

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…) […]

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.
The good:
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 […]

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 […]
