Bleh well. After some intense speculation on the future of Palm, it finally turns out that HP has come out and snapped up the struggling mobile phone/OS maker. Palm, which bet big on it's Pre and Pixi handsets earlier in 2009 received a major jolt with major carriers not giving it enough attention and a rather creepy ad campaign to boot. HP on the other hand, used to operate a brand of smart

Sitting on the opposite end of the table in the canteen of the Delhi High Court, an old man was talking to his lawyer, explaining his problem. From what I could hear, it was some sort of a property dispute. The lawyer was a young woman in her late twenties. She was listening intently but she didn't seem to be very good, though I am by no means a good judge of a lawyer's capability just from their

Ever since I started interning at the Delhi High Court, I've traveled more on buses than I ever have in my life. Along the way, I've done seen more of Delhi than I probably will ever care to see. One very irritating aspect of bus travel is the fact that even on moderately packed buses, no one EVER seems to vacate their seats. What the hell are they on the bus for? Traveling the entire route for

....EDGE/GPRS on my Airtel connection was actually fun to use. Around a year ago, I could easily hook up my cellphone to my laptop and enjoy a pretty good surfing speed. Downloads too weren't that shabby, I could get a decent 20-30 KBps download speed at most times of the day. Ah well, times change. Lately however, it's been moving at snails pace. During peak hours, it takes half a minute for a

After running an online writing business for almost one and a half years now, I've reached some sort of understanding on how to conduct a business online. Of course, the knowledge didn't come overnight and only after some pretty tense months when nothing much seemed to be happening. When I started out, the pay wasn't all that good but I was under the impression I was going to become a millionaire

I've been a fan of Sachin Tendulkar for longer than I can remember. Since the day I started watching cricket, I remember switching to the cricket channel just to watch the genius at work. And then I would turn it off if he got out, god forbid. Back when I was around ten years old, I didn't even know the difference between a cover drive and a square cut but I was in this love with this character.

Considerable hype has followed the launch of the iPad over the last few months.  The latest offering from the Apple stable is supposedly their most advanced and revolutionary device ever and 'magical' one at that, as claimed by Steve Jobs. So is it as magical as Jobs claims it to be? Unlikely. The iPad is simply an oversized version of the iPhone/iPod Touch and has very little room for

Well, I'm a law student so that would explain the title of today's post. I've been reading a fair few articles on Office alternatives and I've myself tried a couple like OpenOffice 3.0 and Google Docs, but I was forced to make an in depth analysis only when one of my professors asked my opinion on whether the University would be better off going with OpenOffice or instead buying a discounted

There's this site I've been seeing advertised all over the place, but I haven't really paid any attention on it. Every tech site I've been on, I've seen banner ads for DHgate.com. So I was just getting my updates on the Mobile World Conference going on in Barcelona when this little advertisement caught my eye on engadget.com: Check out what I found next after the break. Hmm, seems too good to

So I logged into my GMail account a couple of days ago for my daily fix of college mail when I was greeted with a full page advertisement for Google Buzz, soliciting me to go on an try it out. The first thing, of course, which comes to mind whenever Google rolls out another service is, "Really? Another one?". But then, this feeling is usually followed by a healthy dose of curiosity as Google
