President of the United States Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize for this year. From the time he has taken charge he was on a single mission, just to fix the relations with all those enemy tagged countries, stop ill treatment of prisoners, help protect the interests of invaded countries.

Sony slides-in the "X-Series" silently...


Here is the new X-series Sony Vaio from Sony and it was unveiled in an event in New York City. They are going to cost you a cool $1300 but there are lot of justifications for that price. It is made up of carbon fibre and guess what it is the lightest weighing notebook ever made at a cool 1.6 pounds. Of course this is unbelievable but you have to believe me on this.


Not just that but this beauty is equipped with a 2 GHz atom processor and they are now running Windows 7 Operating system which is a WOW! It also sports a 2GB ram and 128 GB solid state drive along with a 11.1" widescreen display. You can also extend the regular battery to a 14 hour long working battery.

War of the Social Networking sites - Guess the winner!!!


Here is a chart of comparison between the social media gaints Twitter, facebook and myspace and the number of unique visitors to these sites. Just saw this somewhere on the huge web and thought to share with you guys. Facebook is growing without any bounds and Myspace as usually has got its loyal visitors but what is interesting is the growth of twitter, that is now a days a bit on the down side, may be that's just a hiccup.

Google Homepage minimalistic to the core...



As I mentioned yesterday that Google is working on some new functionality with its homepage, it came out to be true and it is widespread now. From Yesterday morning Google homepage is minimalistic to the extreme. In the morning itself, I experienced this approach of Google.


I don't know what good is this function gonna do to Google except for some graphic work that might slow it down while loading or it might be the one that helps in faster loading of the page, I seriously don't know what's happening. Your comments are always welcome...

Windows 7 Launch Party Gift Boxes started arriving...



Previously I told you about Windows 7 launch party and the perks that Microsoft offers you, if you are one of those lucky winners who will host the Windows 7 launch party. Now the packs have started arriving and Gizmodo got its hands on one such gift box and guess what they have shown up those pics that were hosted on one of those lucky guy's website. Here they are.



As the pics are self explanatory, I am not detailing anything. But let me point out what is what. There is the party box which includes the contents of the box, a Windows 7 poster, a bag that is tattooed with Windows 7 logo, four streamers, some balloons, Win 7 cocktail napkins and of course the best part is here. You will also get a Windows 7 Ultimate signature edition - signed by Steve Ballmer himself. That's a catch isn't it???

Working with Google Wave (shortcuts explained)...


Guys at LifeHacker aren't allowing the Wave of Google wave to subside. They just want to inject the fever like a virus into each and everyone of their readers. Here is an edition on what is hot and what is not in Google Wave and they didn't stop at that but they dug through it like a maniac and they are still digging. This of course had made life easier for lots of other users of Google Wave.


In this new edition they have discussed about the keyboard shortcuts that are supported in Google Wave. That's a cool thing actually or atleast I think it is cool!!! Also they pointed out a lots of other stuff like filtering out waves, making a wave public, bookmarking a wave outlet and making your wave look beautiful. Also they have marked out some actions that don't work with the Wave. Just follow the link below to read out what all they said about Google Wave.

Venky, Indian born, biologist wins the "Nobel"...


Dr. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, aged 58, who is a structural biologist by profession has been awarded with the most prestigious Nobel Prize in the field of Chemistry. Venky had his early education in the states of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat and then he has moved over to the United States to pursue his goals and now there he is standing tall with the Noble Prize.

I am proud that an Indian born has won the prize but I am a bit sad that he isn't from India right now nor were he nominated from India. It's ok but still he is Indian by nature, I guess. Achieving such a prestigious award is less to none. He is receiving this award for his work on proteins that control life. Congrats Mr. Venkatraman.

Yahoo logo makes a sound similar to "Yahooooooooo" !!!


Someone was telling me today about their new catch. Whenever you get a chance, go to the Yahoo search homepage and if you can see the exclamatory mark that ends the Yahoo logo. Try and locate the dot in the exclamatory mark and click exclusively on it. You will hear the dot screaming out "Yahooooooooo"!!! in a sweet lady voice.

Remember to pump up the volume and definitely it is not safe for work, remember this...

Stop dreaming now, start your day with some fresh mind....


Just thought to start your day with some refreshing comedy. This site phdcomics have got some cool and comedy stuff, go visit it...

Google Fading Homepage - Minimalistic to the extreme...


Google is said to be testing out the new functionality of minimalizing its homepage to the extreme. They are said to be testing out a new fading in functionality(don't know why?) for their home page of Google Search. You will now be seeing just the google Logo and the search box. You can no more see the "Google Search" button or the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. These buttons are dropped from this experimental new Google Home page design.



This is said to be just an experiment and can't say if they stick to the same design. But there is this functionality where-in these buttons will return back when you move the mouse. Just check it in the video above.
