The all new (amazing) Microsoft Surface !

Yeah yeah, Microsoft haters have already started bragging about the so called ubiquitous notority of Microsoft ripping things. Yeah, folks built interactive surfaces long ago, even highschool science fares showed a fair bit of work, and hence, Microsoft stole the idea right? Wrong.

Innovation != Invention !

Microsoft hasn't claimed to have invented the Interactive table, they just built a new,better and really 'awesome' version.

Thats all I wanted to say.

Its all about Myspace these days. Myspace here, Myspace there, everywhere. Today's mashable.com was all about myspace. Digg's full of myspace, NY Times has occasional myspace news. Myspace getting banned in schools, Myspace leading to crime, Myspace and children.

Technically, myspace is a simple system. The userinterface is remote from being called 'cool'. Mashable said 'myspace layout' has become the 9th most popular search time. Whats wrong with 97,151,211* people, all they do is social networking or what?

I can't understand the trend. I am pretty sure atleast 50% of the myspace population lives on nothing but myspace itself (online). Feeble.

If I remember right, NewsCorp spent around 400+ million dollars, and they are the ones benifiting in reality.

So long..

Pingoat has always been loved (and hated by spammers). Recently, Pingoat's been getting overwhelming response from users and its user base has been increasing exponentially. Not only that Pingoat's become one of the best blogging tools, it has also mercilessly defeated its rivals! Yes, Victory!

Pingoat's being undergoing some major technical changes lately and a yesterday, a bug in the system mass blacklisted tens of thousands of legit bloggers. Even though I no longer administer Pingoat, my mailbox was flooded with user comments. Later, I was informed that the issue has been fixed and some new features have been implemented.

Pingoat goes user friendly:

Thanks to one man, Pingoat's new shepherd, the skilled and talented Vladimir! Great job Vladimir!

I've been stressing out for quite some time now. A lot of work, including heavy school work; a lot of tension. Anyway, the school has closed for a week (Easter holidays).

Today, me and my friend got the National Geographic Newtonian reflector telescope


Its an "extra-terrestrial" telescope which's got like 525x maginification. It was quite a task assembling the whole thing and giving it shape. Hopefully we will spot some alien crafts, galaxies.. The manual says that Orion is easy to spot!

Whew, university life is quite interesting. Such silly stuff I've to study! Busting a few tech jargons has made me a 'star' in the class, funny. Going technical; What I've to learn through the course is JAVA. Thats my only relief, learning some real programming for the first time in my life! I should admit, Java is pretty interesting. Hopefully I'll start rolling Java apps soon.

And the mysterious Russian girl in my class, she never talks to anyone. I've never seen her utter a word. Maybe I should help her socialize

So long.. !

Yet another URL shortening service. UrlDo - http://urldo.com
Built it for my friend. But I am very satisfied with the tagline 'do your urls, big time!'. Its PG13 but hey, I got a bit too creative!

Wow, today was my first day at the university The university is 30 minutes away from my place. I reached there by 2 PM, did the registration and hung around. I was asked to get back at 6 PM for the dinner. So instead of going back home, I went to the London bridge, roamed around, had food and they got back to the university. There they served a really awesome dinner! Met a lot of international students from Europe, Asia, Africa.. (the dinner was for intl. students only). Tomorrow the university opens official to all.

Now talking about the university, its huge Huge campus, dozens and dozens of old British style buildings and also a bunch of modern ones. But what I liked the most is the newly built 'Sheppard library'. Its really AWESOME, huge building, hi-tech stuff. The inside looked really futuristic.

Anyway, I haven't been able to see the university fully, but I'll get to see in the coming days. Classes start the coming Monday, till then, various programmes like tours, sightseeing, parties and all.

So long.. !
