Its March 2007 and we will be witnessing two major sporting events kicking off this month: The ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 and the F1 2007 season . Just a couple of quick thoughts though: Is this the biggest cricketing world cup yet??? I'd rather say that it is definitely the Longest. 16 teams and one is rest assured that the first half of the event is going to be booring . Will F1 be the same again without Schumi?

Slaving away to barely meet the deadlines was pretty much the norm all this while and its only now that I have some time to pay attention to this much neglected weblog. I recently looked at LiveMint , India's newest financial daily- for the "new, young readers and members of the Internet generation" and will have to say that it's got a splendid design at least for the online edition that I've seen so far.

Ideally it should be in a small format ---we did versions of broadsheet and Berliner, and opted for the smaller, easier to handle format. 3. It must have perfect fusion with the online product. And, in fact, I recommended from the start that this pr...

Saddam Hussein: 1. was not an Indian. 2. was not hanged by India. 3. was not hanged in India. 4. cannot be back, come what may. Then what is the point?

The last week, I was trying to sell someone the idea of Microformats and how the whole semantics integration would make information on the web a lot more organized and I'll have to admit I was hardly making any sense to the individual and had to give up real soon. Perhaps, with Mozilla now looking at Microformats , it may just result into a wider acceptance and integration of Microformats. Here's a little something about Microformats for those who aren't aware of what they are. Mozilla Designer Alex Faaborg in a recent post explained how microformats will transform the future Web Browser (read Firefox 3) into an "Information Broker": "Much in the same way that operating systems currently associate particular file types with specific applications, future Web browsers are likely going to associate semantically marked up data you encounter on the Web with specific applications, either on your system or online. This means the contact information you see on ...

Yes, Microsoft is Innovative! PC World's list of The 20 Most Innovative Products of the Year has Microsoft Office 2007 on top. All because of that new ribbon. They must be celebrating out there in Redmond! But top spot for this seems a bit unjustified. Its cool alright but the remaining list has some pretty exciting "innovative" products. From the list below, I'll have to say these are all amazing products. So they've got the collection right, probably not the order. 1. Microsoft Office 2007 2. Intel Core 2 Duo 3. Parallels Desktop for Mac 4. Nintendo Wii 5. Samsung 32GB SSD 6. Sony Reader 7. YouOS 8. Dell XPS M2010 9. Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750GB 10. T-Mobile Dash 11. Pioneer Inno 12. Farecast 13.
