iPhone had made its mark it came, it conquered and it made us all busy, iPhone apps a gold mine for developers a market created for the users of iPhone. But then there was android which created buzz and buzz and then after years came the first android powered phone called the G1.

T-Mobile releases the worlds first Android powered phone called T-Mobile G1, G1 seems like the Google 1. The phone is available for $179 with a two year contract from T-Mobile. For Europe the sales will begin in November & early 2009.The G1 comes packed with a large touchscreen nearly the same size as that of iPhone, (not a multi-touch screen) but along with the touch screen there is full fledged physical keyboard under the slide which makes the phone a little thicker and a little heavier then iPhone.

Received an interesting email from a friend who is in HR, so check out what kind of an Employee or Worker you are on the bases of your Zodiac signs :

Aquarius Employee Profile (january 21 - february 19)
The Aquarius employee can’t tolerate unfairness in the office. Hair brained schemes will get the positive attention they deserve if an Aquarian has anything to do with it. They’ll try to help everyone see the good side of a bad situation if it’s the last thing that they do. They are so smart-they can’t help but hold management in disdain if they feel that they are being unfair and unintelligent. It isn’t that they are overly ambitious and think they could be doing a better job- just that they think people in power should know better. Most Aquarius workers are still looking for themselves and will want to try their hand at a variety of jobs in the workplace. Whatever they are doing, they will do conscientiously. They usually have strict personal codes that include a strong work ethic.Their bright, off-beat intelligence, and trustwothiness will typically gain them many friends-in and out of work. Beneath that sometimes odd-ball behavior is solid, concrete thinking and sensitivity to co-workers. Keep your smart Aquarius co-worker happy by giving them plenty of opportunity to learn news kills. Raises are less important to them. No amount of money will make it worth their while to stay in a stagnant position. Don’t let them get too bored or they will simply find another job as easily as they found this one-their genius is easy to spot.

Google is running a stealth product or testing a new kind of user interface for searching the web.

SearchMash.com apparently does not represent any link to Google unless you go into there privacy policy which states about its connections with Google.The thing different in search Mash is the user interface and some minor modification & organization of search results.

The user interface is packed with a bunch of smart features like grabbing more then 10 results a page with the help of more results bar which pulls up more results with ajax thus not loading another page and not loosing the previous 10 results. Hiding description of the results further helps in cleaning up the page and finding with the titles of the results only. Sidebar is another addition which instead of Ads shows results from Google Video, Wikipedia, Blogs & Images.

Another interesting feature is a flash based interface for Google search or Search Mas, though the interface is not as flashy and futuristic it should have been but its quite interesting. Take a look here

I am not sure but i happen to find out that the Big B of India Amitabh Bachchan a famous Film Star is writing and maintaining his personal blog on internet. This is quite an interesting news to share as how big & addictive blogging have become that celebrities have started to maintain there blog.

I am still not able to convince my self after going through his blog weather its Bachchan himself witting the blog or he has got hold of a ghost writer to provide such services as a actor with a very busy life blogging on daily bases is still difficult to absorb. Though this will definately help the bigadda.com a social blogging site by an Indian company score huge traffic as far as i can see Amitabh’s blog is getting more thne 700 comments on a single post which is itself quite huge.

First post From Amitabh Bachchan blog

I would at the outset wish to thank all those that helped me put up this facility, at bigadda.com and compliment them for their efficient and committed working. It seems like a new life altogether.I have today opened my Blog to find hundreds of reactions and inputs. Frankly i had never expected this. But now that i have , i am committed to respond to them. There are several that need a personal answer because of the nature of their queries or comments. I am going to start doing that as i work on my set, in between shots. For now as my first communication, i wish for a little patience for me to get used to this facility and its technical operation. And as soon as that is done, i shall be on the job.This is therefore a general communication, but i will get down to personal responses in a while. Bear with me. … [read more]
