Google's 3D world !!!

Testing Vista SP1

Microsoft released the beta of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 to a private group of testers, taking one step closer to the anticipated official launch in the first quarter of next year.

One beta tester, Brandon LeBlanc, author of the Windows Experience blog, has already written about his experience with SP1.

In addition to a couple of minor user interface changes, he has noticed improvements to the overall responsiveness of his PC and laptop, which both got the beta software. He particularly noticed that resuming activity after the machines hibernate and copying files from one directory to another work faster.

LeBlanc also reported improved battery life on his laptop.

SP1 also appears to have solved some wireless networking issues he had, which caused his computer to lose connectivity often, especially after the laptop was hibernating. Since he installed SP1, that problem has gone away, he said.

Indian version of Orkut.

Sabeer Bhatia is promoting yet another project(still in beta), this time its a social networking site. The look and feel of the site is good but nothing special to attract users from orkut , facebook or other such already famous ones. its a cross between linkedin , orkut and facebook (A shift which you can see in orkut as well).

They have thrown in a point scheme with the site, make people join the network(both personal and professionals) and gain points and exchange for rewards/gifts (Worth checking out)

Wish him luck for the new project.

Nokia 6301

This could be an interesting phone to look out in the future (as it isint released yet), it has all the basic features except for the flash(if you consider it necessary (I don't). You all must be wondering what is different in it form the look alike 6300... guess what ?!!? it is WiFi enabled!! What else could you ask for !?

Considering the fact that 6300 was not aimed at the higher end of the consumers ,if they price it reasonably , say around 12K (yeah, thats what i expect) its going to be one killer of a phone!!
WiFi , expected price and nokia's reliability makes it worth mentioning.

Another phone mentioning here would be the Nokia E51.

I personally would go for E51 cause of its business applications but hey 6301 would be better in the multimedia area.What I have noticed is that Nokia E series doesn't have a good loudspeaker and if u play music on it , it sounds a lil crappy, but hey E series aint made for that ... so it comes down to your personal preference .
Multimedia (6301) OR Business (E51)
