Digest for May 2009!


A lot of news has flown into my head over this month for no particular reason (I suppose) because,

a) I listen to FM Radio regualrly now!

b) I also *regularly* peek at slashdot and CNET news for technology updates which was previously like the frequency of australian cricket team losing matches

c) plus a lil less pressuring situation @ my work place!!!

A few stuff which I definetely wanted to share are,

a) Google is launching Google Wave a next generation collaboration app, whcih combines, email, chat, file share and a few more things. I read that this is touted to gain attention as much as iPhone launch!!

b) Microsoft is launching *bing* a purportedly serious contender to Google Search. MS Live Search fell flat on face in comparison to Google I remember searching my name in livesearch and google. Google in addition to giving every detail about my online presence, delivered 55 relevant results, while live search could muster up only 5 results, and none of them being a direct link to my blogspot (my most prominent online presence)... such performance has triggered MS to buy acquire a search company and do a serious soul searching, I should say! And having read previews about bing, it is definetely encouraging!!! lets see if my name returns atleast 50 of those entries that Google could figure out!

c) I curse myself for being lazy...which has become a daily aspect of my life of-late. I should have registered online, and would have atleast had a shot at getting selected for the workshop called *Thiraikathai Ezhuthuvathu eppadi*..conducted by none-other than Mr. Kamalhaasan! and a couple of other people!! starting yesterday for 4 days in Madras!

and a few more news items I wanted to share but dont remember ontop of my head now!!lets see if they can form another digest.

Additionally, the Everest EH-1 Band has two rolex replica sale coatings; one that is a surface finish and another that is an anti-microbial coating. Unlike the RubberB strap which rolex replica sale does not stretch much, the Everest EH-1 Band rubber gives/stretches slightly when there is tension on the strap which is great on hot days when wrists swell. Also, the silicone used in the Everest EH-1 Band is formulated to look rolex replica uk new years down the road, and is impervious to heat. With the RubberB strap, I gently heated it with a stove lighter to make it conform around my wrist as the RubberB strap feels stiffer than Everest's. In doing the same replica watches uk procedure with the Everest EH-1 Band, it sprung back to its original flat shape. In Italy, I discovered that replica watches sale the springiness was an advantage as the heat would expand and replica watches uk contract my wrist size and the strap would just accommodate changes in wrist size.
