This is for all the people read my posts through RSS Feeds. Hi everyone. We have moved from this address to

Techkeyla

Check out the new site for all my latest posts on Technology,Internet,Blogging,Social Networking and much more.

The online fever of Thanksgiving is catching on.By that I mean the different tech-deals we get to see online this time of the year. Take for instance, this website. Here you get the iPod Nano 'Fatty' in Blue, with an 8GB capacity for 102$ (last seen with 12 bids). Or perhaps, Techbargains.com which offer the Zune flavors, in case you wanted something not Apple. So, happy shopping.

Denis Dubie of ComputerWorld UK, in his blog reveals the survey figures of rejection of the new Redmond Obese-OS( that's what I'm gonna call it, as we call Ubuntu 7.10 -Gutsy Gibbon),Windows Vista. The survey was conducted by Forrester.Here are some of the key results of the survey.

As expected, Windows XP remains one of the biggest obstacles to the acceptance of the Vista.
Out of 600 US and European companies ,employing a minimum of 1000 employees each, which participated in the survey, 84 % of their PCs were running on Windows XP.

The survey also said:

.....Ninety percent of 961 IT professionals surveyed said they have concerns about migrating to Vista and more than half said they have no plans to deploy Vista.

Well Santa, send some Christmas Love to Redmond!!

Ok! So the Black Friday is almost here and well, its time for people to queue up early in the morning in front of their favorite gizmo store. So, how about cooking up some rumors for this Black Friday instead of some Turkey eh!
So here I go!

1:Facebook joins Opensocial, and well Google links up Gmail user IDs to it. Those who already are logging in Facebook via Gmail email IDs, get an invite to a Gmail/Google Facebook exclusive group/app.

2:iPhone launches back the 4 GB model. Sold for 250$. Wait! I've got a better one. Steve shows Woz a big hug, and tells him that iPhone is going the Open way. As in, no more lock! Free,Free,Free!!!!!!! So all those minds occupied by keywords like unbricking, jailbreak et al, can just sit down, stretch their legs and eat Turkey.

3:Glenn Wolsey admits that he was the one who hacked his own site. ie. Glenn Wolsey is malcor.

4: eBay sells Skype to Yahoo!

5:Digg finally unbanns me. How I miss digging!!

Too much to digest for now. Shall be back with a real post soon.

I found this on a blog on zdnet and well, I'll save the surprise for the end. Apparently Gmail allows to search by language. Yes. Here's the trick how. Search the following in the search bar-
“language:”.e.g. If you want to search for German, you can type in "language:german" minus the quotes.

Now for the surprise! English isn't supported yet by Gmail. ROTFL.
This simple search in Gmail shows you messages it believes is written in German or Spanish whatever.
Original article linked here.

Just hit Techmeme now(ie 11/20/2007, 1020 hrs IST) and what you'll find is that the first half of page is occupied by Amazon's new paid ebook reader named as Kindle.More on the name a bit later. So what is so revolutionary about this new gadget kid on the block? It reads ebooks, rss feeds,blogs, e-magazines, enables you to download all of 'em in less than a minute without any internet, wi-fi, or PC connection by using a wireless network called Amazon Whispernet which is something on the lines of a cellular phone network service,which means this is available only in the US(but of course). Display as bright and crisp as paper, ie is clearly viewable even in strong sunlight unlike LCD displays in all portable handheld devices. No monthly bills, only 9.99$ per book download from a library of 90,000 strong Amazon Library. Now more of the official specs is available in the press release.Costs a bummer at 399$ for just an ebook reader!

Now what they didn't tell you at the release specs.

PDF is not supported whatsoever, even via conversion. I heard someone laughing.
Blog Subscriptions cost 2$ a month with a 14 day trial. Not all blogs, only from a selection of 308 titles.
GIF,JPEGs are supported. So, all you manga addicts in the US can dig this.

Find more of these revelations here.

What I have to say? Why would someone pay 399$ for an e-book reader for Pete's sake, pay another 5$ to 15$ for additional subscriptions, carry yet another gadget weighing 10.3 ounces which fills both of your palms, and which is WHITE?
Ok, btw, Didn't Steve's handheld cost 399$ too? Hmm, it read PDF if I can remember. Had an 8GB hard drive, played Mp3s,MP4 video,Coverflow, 2mp camera, had a touchscreen, and oh, it made calls too. What was that called again?

After the disastrous performance at my attempt to become a manager,ie.CAT 2007 ,I am reminded of only one song and ie. ..But life still goes on,...I can't get used to living without living without...Living without you by my side.
Anyway, time to get back to Technology. God, Internet has been buzzing with all crazy news from all ends. Facebook entering China , Amazon with a paid "blog reader?",Google Magazine, Mininova hitting the 1 millionth torrent upload, 17 newspapers join Yahoo.....phew!!! Lemme take a breather! Shall be back with the normal updates soon,very soon. I still need some time for myself to get back to normal as I'm recovering from the trauma of Nov 18th, also known in India as CAT 2007. I promise, Techkeyla will be back in a blink.
