I am sure that Microsoft Windows 7 is much faster than its predecessors. Recently I realized that my laptop with Windows 7 operating system starts up much faster and available for use instantly, but Apple IPod Touch takes few more seconds to start up. It's definitely a remarkable change from the desktop operating systems.

If I compare Apple IPod Touch with my year old N73 Nokia mobile, definitely IPod is 10 times faster. Yeah N73 takes almost 4 minutes to start up and another 30 seconds to settle down and ready to use, though only 25% of the memory used.

No time to blog L

 

I finally got access to Google wave through one of my friends. I am stunned to preview Google wave!!!. Google has exploited JavaScript and Cascaded Style Sheet (CSS) features/flexibilities. Tremendous work…

Unfortunately I could not select my user name in Google wave, it automatically took my user name and mail id, I have no control over it .

 

Finally the long waited windows 7 RTM on my laptop. I have been using windows RC for quite a long time after a windows vista.

Windows 7 is definitely much better than its predecessor window XP or Windows Vista and also faster which had never been in any of windows series. More over it is stable.

Hoping, I will continue to have the same experience with Windows 7, not like other operating systems fading away over the time by performance.

Today I checked my yahoo mail spam folder to know that I got an invitation for Miss Bangalore contest held on 31st October 2009, definitely not to be a contestant thoughJ.

Hope I will be making it for the next time.

 

The long struggled problem has come to an end this morning. Yeah, I had a problem in installing touchpad driver on my laptop Dell latitude E6400 with windows xp service pack 3 operating system.After searching on google with different keywords, finally I found a way to overcome the issue. Yes… its working nowJ.

Just rename or remove the file wdf01000.sys located at %systemroot%\system32\drivers\. Now run the setup, it will get installed successfully. I am not sure why dell is not fixing this issue.

Hope this helps somebody.

 

I recently purchased an Apple IPod Touch 2nd generation device with 16GB storage capacity. I really like its cool features. It's my first experience on Apple products. I have explored Unix, Linux and Windows series of operating systems and applications a bit on Mac.

Despite some criticism on Microsoft products, I always wondered about Microsoft products about the product usability. But apple proved it to be wrong about my perception. The usability of the device or applications is awesome.

I always thought handheld devices are not a good option to watch movies or reading news/books as it has got very small screen. But Ipod touch has again proved it's not alwaysJ, may be at the cost of its price. It is worth having one.

My review goes here

Some of the features I liked.

Definitely the touch effect with zoom in, zoom out and panning Slim and weightless Quick recharge Bigger screen Wi-Fi, I browse, I chat, I mail and I do more with IPod touch while watching TV Most or...

Finally got a chance to visit capital of the mother country Delhi, India on 24th August 2009.

   

I have been using live messenger for some time on my new windows 7 operating system. Windows 7 has got new way of displaying the tray icons. It's a most welcome feature.

Unfortunately Live Messenger is not abiding the rule. The problem with Live messenger is when the application is opened, the task bar will have two task items displayed on task bar. When the Live messenger is closed by clicking on X close button, task bar will still have one task item left. When the user selects to close the other task item, finally the application will exit, rather than running in the background.

   

 

Is it an expected behaviour of Windows Live Messenger?

 

Day by day, my confidence level on Microsoft products goes low. Few days ago I was thinking of not using internet explorer after all the frustration had with. My frustration still continues to be.

Now i may say its monopoly L, since i am left to use only internet explorer and no other choice.

Today i had to attend an online meeting on WebEx. To join the meeting i had to install the WebEx plug in. But the Internet Explorer 8 simply crashes whenever i get the Plug-In install bar.

I finally finished the meeting without WebEx. The worst part of it is Plug-Ins are supported only by Internet Explorer on windows operating system. But i got an unusable browser Internet Explorer which only crashes. I was left stranded L.

Either Microsoft should ship a stable product

or

WebEx should ship the tested Plug-In on all the versions of the browsers or WebEx desktop client.

The work around i found to get WebEx plug-in installed on my machine Windows XP with SP3 was, ...
