New Google Images Search ignores Safe search filters? Images Search was the only thing for which I still preferred Google after I switched to Bing.

User Access Control, a scapegoat? Is round the corner, lets get a little backwards in the time-line. Windows Vista. Kept us waiting for over six years, since the release of Windows XP,. Before hitting the retail stores in January 2007. Opening with mixed reviews, with some curiosity aroused by the Aero graphics engine. Norton noted that, " The more a user is prompted, the more likely it is that he or she will dismiss the prompt without reading it, and hence it is a false security model. Atleast you know ...

Which is the best 1st generation smartphone? Before going into my opinion let me tell you that, I have traditionally been a Microsoft fanboy, and an Android lover, and a bit of Apple hater ;). But I will try to be fair on my judgement. IPhone has a child-like user interface with embossed, glossy icons placed on a low screen resolution display, though many people say it is very intuitive and simple. The HTC G1 has a very barebone user interface. And it feels like using Windows 3.1, in terms of the...As me...

Windows 7 Launch event in Bangalore! I am greatly excited and honoured to tell you all that I would be hosting an official Windows 7 launch party. In Bangalore. This is going to happen on Oct 24th, saturday, from 5:00 at my house which is at BTM Layout, Bangalore.

The next era of advertising? I came across something called Microsoft Tag for the first time when I was checking out free applications to download for my. Was vaguely described as a barcode reader. So, I just downloaded it, and tried to read some barcodes with it, which it refused to. Then I went to internet to find what is Microsoft Tag. The catch is that technology is still in Beta, so maybe once it is out of beta, it may not be free anymore. Let us see how Google responds to this? Get your tag here.

Google Chrome, reinventing the wheel? Just over a week after Microsoft Internet Explorer Beta 2. Google has come up with its own new offering christened Chrome. The whole release episode itself was in a bizzare fashion. A day before the release, the whole internet talk about some leaked Google comic book talking about the new Chrome browser, and just a few hours later Google announce that they aill release the beta the very next day. Though initially I was against the idea of Google capturing another fr...
