Airtel Marketing has some really cheap and nasty tricks up their sleeve …

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!

Of course it’s all in my […]

I learned how to make my own Solar Panels in the last 1 hour.
So, what have you DIY today?

So Delhi has a new Domestic terminal (1D) and it looks pretty awesome so far. Even better is the fact that you walk past security and are greeted with this wonderful sign …

Airtel has done a decent job on the connectivity and signal clarity (it’s available most places, including restrooms, etc)

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 […]

I’ve owned desktops. and laptops. and pocket pc’s. and tablet pc’s. and a UMPC. and tower servers.

It’s 1U thick.
Multiple Xeon processors.
Multiple SCSI hard drives.
