- Slumdog Millionaire – a sadistic satire
The hype around Slumdog Millionaire hit me and I ended up in the theater to watch the Anglo-Indian movie which bagged the Golden Globe and is nominated in several categories (ten nominations to be precise) for the Oscars. To be honest, I went with high expectations. But it turned out to be a sadistic satire. [...]

- Google Chrome does not support Google Toolbar
I thought only Microsoft messes up their products / releases.
I could not understand, why will Google release such a major product i.e. a browser to compete against Microsoft and the Firefox without support for their own toolbar. Also, after five days of usage, I find Google Chrome still lacking in many areas:
Browser plug-ins won’t work!

- Google Chrome – A quick review
I was reading about Google Chrome.
> Some blog says that it has snapped up 2.8% market share in 24 hours. Amazing. Isn’t it?

- Quillpad – Type in Indian regional languages
Today I came across an online tool called Quillpad.
This online software let you type in most Indian regional languages (including Hindi, of course). The quality of application and usability has blown me away! I think such applications will make vernacular content a reality on Internet.
This is how they describe their service:
Quillpad is a free online [...] - Started using Twitter
I have finally started using Twitter.
My twitter page is http://www.twitter.com/abhishekrungta
To be honest, I do not think Twitter is a great thing. Micro blogging does not catches my fancy, since it does not help me to add any value to myself or anyone else. It is the last thing that could have happened to me [...]

- Buying and selling websites
In recent times, I have seen a growth in marketplaces which help website owners to buy/sell websites.
It looks like a good idea, as it allows website owners to reshuffle their portfolio of websites and offer services / products which are more aligned towards to their largest consumer segment (read traffic on their most popular [...]
