Today it’s impossible to think business and personal communications without email. Sending and receiving emails costs you and me nothing. It’s free! The zero cost (for users), the efficiency of delivery, and ease of use has made it so popular. But now email has become a victim of it’s own success. Just my quick test [...]
I switched from Microsoft to Apple on desktop, but on mobile I’m jumping (trying) from Palm to Microsoft. I’ve bought a Dopod 720w, which runs windows mobile 5 smartphone edition.

Also there are some third party softwares, but most of them are good for personal usage only (by single [...]
I’ve been using PowerBook G4 as my production laptop for about a month. There had been some odd moments but overall it’s been a wonderful experience and definitely there’s no looking back. I’m glad that I’ve switched. Now my laptop boots faster, everything looks more beautiful, I can do everything I’d been doing and I [...]

It was an interesting event where several networking vendors presented about the IT Security Technology and the latest and greatest products they’ve in offer.

This bas relief depicts Maya Devi with her right hand holding on to a sal tree with a newborn child standing upright on a lotus petal, shedding an oval halo, around his head. During my recent visit to Po Lin Monastry I found some conflicting information about Buddha’s birth place. I saw some paintings with [...]

The Magic iDVD is very easy to use and yet lets you create a very professional DVDs with few clicks. The most amazing experience I had was with the OneStep DVD. All you’ve to do is; connect the camcorder [...]
