Tech-Gaming reporter for DNA, Bangalore. Also a blogger, gamer, and a tech-enthusiast
Okay now IPL too has come up with a version of Saare Jahan Se Acha to add a twist of patriotism and may be get more viewers this year. But as I watched the video, only one thought went through my head -- red tape. Ye it was a red carpet, but it kinda reminded me that India is one country still bound in red tape. My rant ends there, now watch the video =)
I just found this on ReadWriteWeb, that you can post photos, videos or just plain text to buzz via email. All you have to do is mail it all to buzz@gmail.com.
Though the idea is pretty interesting, it's also a threat to Posterous, a website which lets you blog by simply sending in an email. What made services like Posterous and Tumblr so unique is the fact that one can subscribe to posterous/tumblr account of their friends and see updates on posterous/tumblr dashboards. In short no need for an RSS-RSS reader. That way Buzz already has a dashboard, a real time one at that. I haven't seen anyone use this feature or even talk about this feature as such. So let's see how it pans out. Could it be a threat to these blogging platforms? May be, may be not. I won't call Buzz a Posterous killer yet, there's definitely space for more than one service, considering there are a lot of people who don't want to keep all their eggs in google's basket.
A reader send in this sketch wishing happy birthday to DNA Bangalore. We had carried reporter's diary on our Saturday edition check out pages 7-14 and he made the sketches looking at the pics used in the entries =) What do you think?
What a way to summarize the stages of life- without saying a word!
No one seems to want to use Google Wave for any serious work. Like collaboration for example.
Most of the waves I have been part of till now were more or less 'tutorials' or 'this is awesome' kind. Now that the novelty value has worn off, not more new waves in my inbox. That's just sad!
Meanwhile my contact list in Wave is getting longer by the day. I wish there was a better method to see more contacts without having to scroll down so much. Is there any way to deactivate those profile pics?
Do we need 3G in India? Of course we do. But looks like guys at DoT thinks they can bring it in their own swet time. PluggdIn says the auction process might be cancelled yet again. So why don't we ust skip 3G and jump staright to 4G? Much like much of India juped the landline connections? We have waited so far, we can wait for a few more months provided we get a brand new kick-ass 4G service. What say? Let the 4G handset revolution start in India!
Have you watched Bandit Queen?
I haven't, so I'm about to watch it at home. Went through a lot of trouble to get the DVD. That makes me think, why aren't DVDs of good movies easily available in India?
Batman Arkham Asylum
This one's definitely one of the better games I have played recently. Wow what graphics and plus the thrill of playing as Batman =)
