Hi guys

I just visited Google’s new app, its simply awesome use of technology with simplicity.

Google Indic Transliteration offers an option for converting Roman characters to the Devan?gar? characters used in Hindi. This lets you type Hindi words phonetically in English script and still have them appear in their correct alphabet. Note that this is not the same as translation — it is the sound of the words that are converted from one alphabet to the other, not their meaning. For example, typing “hamesha” transliterates into Hindi as the given figure

Microsoft Corp. will soon let users of its Hotmail service store 5 gigabytes of photos and other e-mail messages, more than double the previous limit. In todays scenario where big giants are providing Mail space upto 2 GB’s Hotmail has just doubled the capacity. Of course, only a small number of Hotmail users will ever approach that threshold, a reality the software maker acknowledged in a blog post this week outlining the storage boost and other upgrades to the free, Web-based service.

“At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new…India discovers herself again.”
- Jawaharlal Nehru
(on Indian Independence Day, 1947)

Our Indian history like our vibrant culture of so many diversities in terms of religion, culture and traditional values can be a large canvass to depict our origins which has provided accommodation to change like no other country in this world. No country in the world can boast of such a cultural amalgamation.

The Day of Indian Independence is a day of celebration for every Indian to commemorate our jubilant victory over the British who ruled our country for nearly three centuries. It is to this success that every Indian stands up, chin held up with pride and salutes one another Jai Hind to mark 60th anniversary of Indian victory.

SWITCH! While running your Mac you can run all your Windows applications that you can’t live without? Outlook, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Project, AutoCAD, Solidworks…you name it. They all can run in a Windows virtual machine on VMware Fusion. Bring your USB peripherals with you as you switch too; they still work. (more…)

VMWare recently launched its new virtual workstation VMWare Fusion supporting virtualization. Lets get a look what Virtualization really means and how its gonna change the world.

According to VMWare experts, Virtualization is “the ability to run another operating system in a virtual machine (VM) while still running Mac OS X”

Virtualization is an abstraction layer that decouples the physical hardware from the operating system to deliver greater IT resource utilization and flexibility.

Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines, with heterogeneous operating systems to run in isolation, side-by-side on the same physical machine. Each virtual machine has its own set of virtual hardware (e.g., RAM, CPU, NIC, etc.) upon which an operating system and applications are loaded. The operating system sees a consistent, normalized set of hardware regardless of the actual physical hardware components. (more…)

Surveyers say that iPhone owners about what is on the top of their wishlist which Apple had put in their new device, one of the most popular responses was “copy and paste.”

That’s an understandable request and now an enterprising fellow who goes by the moniker Lonely Sandwich has hacked together a video showing Apple exactly how he thinks copy and paste should work.

While Apple hasn’t said anything about adding such features, that didn’t stop a user by the name of lonelysandwich from creating the fake “proof-of-concept” video embedded above.

Lonelysandwich’s video makes hilarious use of the iPhone promo spots, but the method itself seems a little awkward. To my thinking, Apple would be better off using a finger drag for selecting, though I can see where it would be difficult to determine if the drag was intended to select or just move the loupe.

But the clipboard “okay” screen and the pasting method in the video make perfect sense and fit well with the rest of the iPhone’s interface.

Google is hoping to launch a mobile phone early next year that allows users to surf the internet on the move.

The company hopes that the GPhone will follow in the footsteps of the popular Apple iPhone which was launched in the United States in June.

Google services, such as its search engine, email and interactive maps, will be loaded on to the phone.

The phone should make it easier for people to access the internet when they are away from their computers.

It is thought Google will derive its revenue from the lucrative mobile advertising market. (more…)

Microsoft on Tuesday announced that they had submitted their specs to Joint Photographic Expert Group (JPEG) and they are  considering standardization of the company’s HD Photo file format. Tentatively titled “JPEG XR,” HD Photo was introduced with the release of Windows Vista.
