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, […]

We’ve started a new blog specifically discussing some popular and upcoming whitepapers and case studies of RFID solutions from around the world. Occasionally, we also write about specific hardware or other products.
If you are interested in the RFID Active/Passive, AIDC or  SmartCard market, you would like to follow the rfid blog.
Let me know what you […]

Microsoft has for very long invested billions of dollars into their technology R&D departments.
I mean, they had the Tablet PC with wonderful handwriting recognition, Windows Mobile (PocketPC) with on-screen transcriber running on a low low 128MB ram with sub-200 Mhz processors. Visual Basic (and Visual Studio by extension) allowed really newbie programmers to just […]

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 […]
