New features in iPhone 3.0 firmware
Apple recently released the 3rd iteration of its iPhone software bringing it a few steps closer to perfection. Its amazing how apple not only manages to generate buzz for it's products but also for the firmware upgrades of its products. The iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade is available free of cost for iPhone users but iPod Touch users will have to shell out $9.95 for the same but I am sure some smart cracker will find a way to get the 3.0 firmware onto the iPod touch for free. What's new in iPhone firmware 3.0? Cut-Copy-Paste: Apple made a lot of people unhappy ...
Indian elections 2009 coming soon..
Will Mayawati succeed in becoming the Prime Minister of India or would Sharad Pawar manage to pull a coup? That’s the million dollar question doing rounds on the dinner table of most of us Indians these days.

Colleges have become a new playground of creating disharmony. Prominent B–schools ...
Amazon’s Kindle, an iPod for books
Here's a small riddle! What weighs a little more than 10 ounces, is about the size of a paperback book and costs $399? It is Amazon's Kindle, a device which helps you read upto 200 eBooks with a built in 256 Mb memory (and another 180 Mb free). Like a cell phone, it has wireless connectivity to the web allowing the users to download e-books, subscribe to magazines and blogs directly from Amazon.com.

The past 15 days will be fondly remembered by Indians all over the world. A young Indian team left for South Africa with nothing to loose and to gain. By gain, I mean experience because they would certainly have not thought that they would win the world cup! But they did. I am sure even they are as surprised as Kapil’s team was in 1983. So here are a few select moments of the first ever Twenty 20 World Cup at South Africa.
