This is the fancy new Google logo at their Google mac site and the new Google Mac Blog. These seem to be a step towards providing more software for the limited Mac users who find it really difficult to find Mac alternatives to popular Windows softwares(I have read this many times). Poor Mac guys, after all why do they go for a Mac? Here in the PC world you wouldn’t have to worry a bit to find software!

Flickr has stolen my heart, yaa it really did. The other day I was so inspired to go buy a Digital Camera somehow or the other and start with a PRO account, ofcourse i later on returned to the real world and realised that can’t be accomplished anytime soon given my current financial situation that im a dependent and i earn $0 per year, no part-time job nothing 
This is dragging me close to the possibility of using my FREE TIME to earn some bucks by joining some part-time job and buy a Digi-Cam, yes im really inspired, seriously. The warmth of people sharing their lives, the pictures of parties they attend, their photographic talent and more than everything else the comments by other users, its a life of its own kind
A picture shared for public viewing on Flickr
There might be many other websites which provide the same service but they are not backed by a huge organization like Yahoo! which gives unlimited possibilities to the Flickr team to work on anything and provide a service of any extent.
All this inspiration is making me add a Flickr Random pics bar on my blog like others. It is not going to show my pics, for now I choose pics tagged ART.

I just said to my self thank GOD! and then realized why thank God? thank Microsoft and the Windows Live Writer team for quickly releasing an update to the cool Windows Live Writer by adding support for the new Blogger in Beta and adding a lot of other new features. Its a great relief because you can easily blog from this thing, it really feels good, because of many reasons some being the slow posting interface of Blogger, the buggy Text editor at Blogger which cant even remember the formatting of its own blog post while Writer can even show the background image of your blog with the formatting as exactly set in the blog StyleSheet. This thing is just so cool. I greatly regretted my decision to upgrade to the new Blogger Beta which is surprisingly irreversible! (I dont know what strange things they have put that makes the change irreversible) but now the new update to Live Writer has made all that agony pass by. Once again thank you Microsoft and thank you Windows Live Writer Team

God! this iPod thing gets better by the day, yaa its true it gets unbelievably better and this is what keeps the competition at bay. Yaa they had the first entrant advantage but still……..they keep on improving it every release. This time the most exciting release is the new redesigned iPod Shuffle along with a lot of other things which ofcourse also sound very exciting but didn’t seem relevant to me.
First take a look at the new iPod Shuffle
Click to view hi-res version
This is the first time I ever felt buying an iPod is justified. You definitely don’t need the 30GB or the recently released 80GB ones or atleast I don’t need them but this one seems to be worth the price tag, it costs just $79 (See $ Conversion) and can hold 1GB of music which is good enough for the 12Hr battery life unlike the big ones where the battery life is 20 Hrs while it can hold upto 20,000 songs! which means you have to connect it for recharge every 20 Hrs which means 20 Hrs of songs would have been enough why 80GB? this is left to the mad Apple people like the mad Google fans who always praise what ever crap Google releases or better say Google buys. Yes its true Google buys most of its services, they identify a good start-up gives them funds they never imagined of and gives them all the privileges and those guys come up with cool products. This has lead to a trend in the Bay Area where start-ups are being floated just with a hope that they would be bought someday by Google/Microsoft/.. for their technology needs.
There was a lot of Buzz about the recent Apple releases, For full details of other exciting things released by Apple along with the Shuffle go here
