ASS On Fire Takes You Higher

I don't always posts about anything related to Technology on my Blog (I keep that for Google+ ) But this time around I am making an exception where I am posting a rant which I made on Google+ here, as this is extremely frustrating for me. I am an Android User Rant Follows: Frustrating new Google Talk in Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 Hoping someone from Google reads this And If I am missing something very obvious here, feel free to bash/corect me I am currently running an Alpha Build of ICS on my HTC Desire. One of my most used apps on Android is Google Talk. It look brilliant in ICS now with all the small tweaks to UI Bravo for that But there is one new Feature which is rendering the whole app useless for me. The versions available till now (Gingerbread) have had a feature where you can View your friend list either by So-called   Most-Popular or All Contacts . Where Most-Popular would show you some contacts who (I am assuming)  Google thinks you ...

Is the title too scandalous for you ? Well let me tell you the story behind it. When I was doing my Graduation in Mechanical  Engineering , I think in the year 2005, there was an Inter-college festival in one of the other colleges of my state. One event in that festival was arranged by the Management Department of the college ( The dept. which gives out MBA Degrees ). The event was to give a Presentation on " Your Favourite Company ". Me and one of my batch mates ,  Shailesh  decided to enter this competition. ( As we needed something to write in our resumes as extra-curricular activites ) We chose our favourite company as Google. Now around 2005, In small town India, in a Mechanical Branch, people did use Google everyday whenever they went on the internet. But anyone    hardly  knew anything else about Google. We started err... Googling for Google... collected Articles from Business Publications, ...

So I am sure, you would have heard of SIRI on the new iPhone 4S. Well we Android guys had have voice recognition for a long time now. But then came along SIRI and the world thought, Ohh Woww.. Apple innovates again. So one fine day, Narayan Babu sat down, and in 8 Hours made IRIS. (Read more about it here ) And the rest as they say is History. I have been playing with IRIS for a long time now on my phone and thought I would share some of the funniest answers that my dear IRIS has provided me with so far. Many more such gems coming soon..

As we all know Data never lies. And in today's modern day and age I guess the one giant repository of data which we all believe in, have access to and can  look up in case we need; is what else but Google . Now the number of results a Search Query returns in Google should be a fare indication of the mind set of people in the world, as to what they think and search for. Yesterday I wrote a post about Job Satisfaction and that got me thinking, if there was anyway that can I collect data and may be find out some rough numbers as to what percentage of people are satisfied with their jobs. That thought led to a little experiment which hardly took all of 0.37 Seconds and I had the data at my fingertips. Today morning I ran two queries in Google and got the below results. Now what do you think that denotes ? I would leave the interpretation of the data up to you. THIS IS COSMIC BLASTING OFF !!!!!!!!

Some of you might know, that I mostly work on Microsoft Technologies. ( No, and I don't mean Microsoft Office ) Even though Microsoft is my Bread-and-Butter ( so to speak ) I am not a Big Fan of M$ . A long time ago when I was a Mechanical Student in college, I was surrounded by friends who were almost all Computer Science students. They were all hardcore Java or Microsoft Fans, and I don't know why or from where the Linux bug bit me. I started playing around/messing in Linux and after 3 Months or so when I had my feet set in, I removed Windows from my Laptop completely. I was an alien amongst my Computer Science friends, for them it was a Sacrilege that a Mechanical guy who should be running around with Engine Parts and Grease on his hands was dipping his nose in Linux while all of the So-Called-Computer Students were mortally afraid of it.  But time passed, I got a job in an IT firm and left my Turbine and Engine Days far behind me. And my company wanted me to w...

Ever since Google launched the Google Instant feature , Our search times have been reduced drastically, as Google starts predicting what we are trying to search depending upon what people have searched in the past. This leads to some deep insights on the collective psyche of the Human Race, by revealing How and What people think about and want to know the answers to. I guess with this post. I am going to start a new series of posts ( which may or may-not continue in the future) about what I see when I use Google Instant. The first in this Series: A look into how lazy we have become and we do so that we do not need to read a book or even watch a movie. THIS IS COSMIC BLASTING OFF !!!!!!!!
