Some years back I was wondering why it is not possible to do everything on a browser from working on documents, watching movies, songs, mails and working on other applications like Office and Photoshoop. Time has come for it, watch out for coming years, its the age of Web Apps. Everyone and every thing is going into clouds. I am so happy to see what I whished is happening.


The Google's Chrome OS is just a curtain raiser for the race of the new age. Expect more n more in future. All the information is at a go, not only the public info but also your workplace may also will be with you always.

And anyone who wishes to give a try at Chrome OS just follow the link.
It's from TechCrunch, guides you on how to install ChromeOS using VirtualBox.

The Chrome OS team has a produced a new Common Craft style video that gives an overview of the new Chrome OS is 3 minutes.

Here’s a high-res screenshot of Chrome OS..

..and here are some Chrome OS screenshots captured from the press event:

1. Chrome OS Application Menu

2. Chrome OS Media Browser

Cloud Storage - Everything you save inside Chrome OS is put on the cloud like this notepad application which will sync with Google Docs.

4. Switching between Chrome instances - It’s much like Alt+Tab of Windows 7 with live preview

WOW! - This is the first word that you will say after watching the first half of this movie. The graphic work and sounds are pretty well. I was overwhelmed with the way they created deja vu in the movie. Though all the scenes will be like other Hollywood flicks where there will be always a narrow escape, but mostly I felt all the excitement. But coming to the second half, it won't that much exciting. I felt some thing lacking in the second half, may be bcoz there wont be much senti while the whole world is tearing apart into pieces.

All the credit should go to the movie backstage crew, and credits to the imagination of the Director (Roland Emmerich).

I heard the budget of the movie is around 1000cr. After watching the movie, I was wondering how come they make a movie worth 10% of our state(AP) budget (that feeling was very strange to me )

Anyway it is a must watch film only at theatre. Go for big screens. BTW do you think this kind of things gonna happen in 2012??? watch out guys we have only left with a couple of years :P . . .njoy to your maximum.

I came across this site from a friend
There is a site: http://www.friends2support/ .org

Tata Indicom, in association with Corporation Bank and PayMate, has launched 'Green Money Transfer'- a person-to-person mobile money transfer service. The transfer of funds via mobile will be facilitated by PayMate's technology, Corporation Bank's banking system and Tata's PCO and True Value Shop (TVS) network.

Customers can register for this service at a Green TATA PCO, TVS or with Corporation Bank. Upon registration, they will receive an mPIN to enable them to authorise the transaction.

Example:

1. A sender in Mumbai goes to a Green Tata PCO or TVS and places a request of transferring Rs. 5,000 to his parents in Pune
2. The sender hands over the cash to the Green Tata PCO or TVS. The PCO or TVS triggers an IVR call to the sender
3. The sender enters his mPIN to authorize the transaction and gets a Transaction code on his mobile to be conveyed to the recipient.
4. The recipient goes to the nearest registered Tata PCO or TVS and shares the transaction code.
5. The PCO or TVS triggers an IVR call to the receiver who enters his/her mPIN to verify the transaction
6. Once the verification is done the cash is handed over to recipient

The companies say Green Money transfer service is primarily targeted at the un-banked population of the country by providing them a branchless banking service to send and receive money effortlessly.

Corporation Bank says this facility is being proposed as an additional service to the rural masses who can now receive remittance in their Bank account instantaneously and draw through Business Correspondents at their own place. This will enable the Bank to augment customer acquisition as well.

This facility has been launched on a pilot basis in Kerala and will later spread to other areas.

Earlier this year, Microsoft and Lenovo teamed up to tackle the first Windows 7 activation workaround. It was based upon a leaked OEM volume activation key, and was neutralized fairly quickly.


Things have been fairly quiet for a while. Microsoft's anti-piracy team had cooked up WAT - Windows Activation Technology - in hopes that it would prove more successful at thwarting unlicensed Windows use than its predecessor WGA. And so began the latest round of cat-and-mouse with pirates. 'You've got a better activation system? We'll build a better crack,' is how the game usually plays out.


It should come as no surprise, then, that there are two new activation bypass tools spreading like wildfire on the Internet. Called RemoveWAT and ChewWGA, the apps provide one-click patching of Windows 7 RTM installations.


Microsoft, of course, has promised a speedy response. Still, once a system is patched and a user shuts off Windows Update, there's really not much Microsoft can do - or is there? Maybe they know something we don't.

Here are some LOGOs

It appears that both Yahoo and Microsoft are duking it out to help power the technology for India’s Unique Identification project. Spearheaded by Indian tech czar and Infosys co-chairman Nanden Nilekani, the project aims to assign every Indian citizen with a unique identification number that will identify him or her, similar to a U.S. social security number.

This is no small task considering India’s population of 1.2 billion citizens. It will involve a powerful technology to assign the numbers and a vast database to organize each unique ID. That’s where Microsoft and Yahoo come in.

Earlier this year, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates expressed a strong interest in participating in the project, meeting Nilekani and assuring him that Microsoft would be able to assign the IDs swiftly.

This week Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz lobbied India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to use Yahoo for the project, but Bartz says that there’s no commercial interest in the deal and Yahoo would help power the project on a non-profit basis. Bartz added that Yahoo would be the optimal choice because Yahoo has a major presence in India. The company claims that three out of four Indians access the Internet through Yahoo.

While Yahoo is vastly popular in India thanks to sites like Yahoo Cricket that appeal to the population, its hold may be slipping. Gmail recently overtook Yahoo Mail as the most trafficked email site and Yahoo was forced to shut down its Indian social network SpotM a few months ago, as Google’s Orkut and Facebook emerge as the dominant social networks in India.

It’s unclear if Microsoft has the same “non-profit” stance as Yahoo, but obviously both companies want a piece of a highly ambitious project that could be implemented in other emerging countries. And it looks like IBM is also throwing its hat into the ring as well, so it should be interesting to see which tech giant wins out.

When's the last time a barcode caught your eye? If you lived in Japan, it could have been fairly recently. D-Barcode is a Japanese design firm that has been mixing it up in the barcode world since '05, and — as you can see from the samples above — the end result is a lot more interesting than a uniform series of lines. It can be pretty pricey, though: $1,500 for a design, and $200 a year for licensing fees. If you want a code all your own, that can even cost as much as $4,000. That begs the question — what's a unique design worth?

Granted, Japan is the undisputed king when it come to eyecatching design in packaging, and these barcodes are an extension of that. For me, a cleverly designed product can tickle all the right places and get me to make the purchase. What about you? Does design and attitude factor into your decisions when choosing a product?

Google’s Go: A New Programming Language That’s Python Meets C++:

Big news for developers out there: Google has just announced the release of a new, open sourced programming language called Go. The company says that Go is experimental, and that it combines the performance and security benefits associated with using a compiled language like C++ with the speed of a dynamic language like Python. Go’s official mascot is Gordon the gopher, seen here.

Here’s how Google describes Go in its blog post:

Go attempts to combine the development speed of working in a dynamic language like Python with the performance and safety of a compiled language like C or C++. In our experiments with Go to date, typical builds feel instantaneous; even large binaries compile in just a few seconds. And the compiled code runs close to the speed of C. Go is designed to let you move fast.

We’re hoping Go turns out to be a great language for systems programming with support for multi-processing and a fresh and lightweight take on object-oriented design, with some cool features like true closures and reflection.

For more details check out Golang.org.

To get things started the right way, here’s Go’s rendition of Hello World!:

05 package main

07 import fmt “fmt” // Package implementing formatted I/O.

09 func main() {

10 fmt.Printf(”Hello, world; or Καλημέρα κόσμε; or こんにちは 世界n”);

11 }

Wave will be good for people, who runs many thread of mails. There wont be any difference if mails are one to one. If there are active people in a chain of mail, Wave can show it a lot better.

To learn all about Wave, watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_UyVmITiYQ
this video is of 1Hr 20 mins in duration, if you cant spare (even bare :P) that much time,
watch the below short form of it (this is just 7mins).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6pgxLaDdQw

Wave is spreading at a great pace, there are already apps created for iPhone and other smart phones to access Wave. I have also seen a Wave notifier application for desktop which notifies new waves. And the most surprising, amazing and funniest is Gina Trapani from LifeHacker
came up with a Complete Guide to Google Wave. This book will tell u all about a Wave.

Hope this Wave will be available to all my friends, coz unlike a mail id the other guy to whom u wish to communicate should have a Wave too :(
And you can all wave me @ nageswar3@googlewave.com and thanks to Balaji for sparing me a invitation.

Windows only: Paint.NET is a free, fast, and powerful image editor for Windows. It's a giant leap above Microsoft Paint, and a serious alternative to bigger, bloated (for most users, at least) image editors like Photoshop or GIMP.

(Click the image above for a closer look.)

We've highlighted Paint.NET in the past, but it just released its first significant update in years, so we'd recommend grabbing the latest. Paint.NET handles most of the basics you'd expect from advanced image editors, and the update has added new effects (including new blurs and distortions), better performance (though Paint.NET has always been really light and fast), and a complete refresh of the user interface (enhanced for Aero/glass). Check out the release post for a more detailed changelog.

If you need to do the occasional image tweaking or heavy image editing but don't want to spend a lot of cash on Photoshop or dive into GIMP, Paint.NET is well worth the download. It may not be able to do everything Photoshop does, but it can do everything most users need. Paint.NET is a free application, Windows only. Thanks Paul!

Google Talk to Add Video Conferencing: Gmail Chat, the web-based version of Google Talk, added last year voice and video chat. The feature is now available in iGoogle and orkut, but it will probably be added to other Google services, as well.

SFGate reports that Google will improve the service significantly in the coming months.

Gmail's voice and video chats are now limited to one-to-one communications, but Google wants to broaden that capability to more than two participants and make it more robust all around for Apps.

'This [current Gmail capability] is the first step in a much broader set of features we hope to roll out over the next six to 12 months around video [and voice] chat capabilities,' said Rishi Chandra, a Google Apps product manager. 'It's a great opportunity for us to push that space along.'

It's not clear whether Google plans to integrate Marratech's video conferencing software, acquired in 2007.

Other features that will be added to Google's services: 'intelligent meeting scheduling in Google calendar', 'intelligent workflow in the [Google Docs] applications', 'lots of new functionality being developed especially around formatting' in Google Docs.
