Are you Bored ??

Filed under: Tech Buzz

 

    Well, "bored" has become one of our(me and my frenz) common words right now. Since we are pursuing information technology we have some thousands of ways to kill time (ask any original IT-graduate). Well INTERNET is our best companion or some say thats the devil for our career. Well, for me right now with out net, thrs no life. 

    Sites that I visit regularly are boring take santabanta persay it sucks. Same routine faces in different poses & ofcourse with minimal clothing and some stupid mirchi stuff. "ORKUT", you say ?? it sucks too. They say they are here for friends and dating etc,, when we scrap they nvr reply. Esp gals.. what’s wrong with them ?? They nvr reply back. Hmmmm, atleast how abt "stop scrapping" or "not interested" scrap for a reply.

    Anyway I was searchin for ………………..ahhh, mmmm,emoticon,………….. Oh, I forgot.  Anyway I just googled "bored" and then the results were displayed. The first link addressed ifself as bored.com and there are many other links too. So I clicked and entered the site (b’coz, I’m feeling lucky. Google joke.)at 1AM and when I closed all the tabs its 5AM. Awesome !!! emoticonsimply awesome site. There’s everything comedy, romance, blues, dating stuff, weird stuff, you just name it and its there. 
   

   I wonder how many bore-felt souls has engineered such a in’fucking’credible site. Its well organised like yahoo, its fast and smooth like google, and everythings free unlike, microsoft.

Well, for all my dear entertainment impaired pals, heres our cure for it "http://www.bored.com/"

Its the best time-wasting site. 10/10.

GRE or CAT or JOB ??

Filed under: Tech Buzz

My Aim :: No AIM.

My Future Plans ::  Plans emoticon?? No idea..

So , this is the situation of a great genius. (Nvr mind, I meant "my situation").

    How can anybody choose his/her career, when he/she has no idea on whether something works for him/her or not in the future ? If its just a game to choose something, then how come there’s so much fuss about "career plannin" ?

   Let’s take myself as an example here, I am always in the dilemma of whether to take GRE or CAT, i.e MBA or MS as my career options. Right now am thinkin of GRE.

   GRE :

ADV: 

* My Dream is to visit california atleast once.This will come true.

* A master’s degree. 

* Startin pay somewhr around 80K+ per annum, fair enough.

DisADV:

* Costly for a middle-class family.

* Should work hard in which I had no experience b4 (U know !! "IIIT’s").

* Live as a minority and has to work for minimal wages (ok ok !! "dignity of labour") but still.

STATUS:

* Ok CGP 3.2 . No publications. Aid is compulsary. Still preparing for Vocab etc..  

 

   CAT :

ADV:

* A great degree and packages if I got in IIM’s.

* We can boss around even if we know nothing, technically speakin. (a shallow thought emoticon, huh !!)

* Will get the confidence for establishing a firm ( this one suits me for sure ). 

DisADV: 

* I have to study management subjectsemoticon.. no wayyyyyyy,.

* Have to improve communication skills and has to be nice to everyone even, if they are mean to us… ( like those HUTCH call-center ppl ..poor soulsemoticon).

STATUS:

* Bad communication skills, Should improve english, should start preparin for CAT, esp. tech.
 

    JOB: 

ADV:

* First of all, no more study

* I got placed in a cool company. Free beer everyweek. (Ahh, come on !! thats every boozer’s dream).

* Dad’s happy with the package … for a while atleast.

* Can catch up with the MS or MBA guys, though I have to burn my ass for it. 

DisADV :

* Hike in the salary would be normal and I’ll be a bachelor degree holder forever. 

* If I can’t keep updatin with the new technologies then I am "done" for sure. 

STATUS:

* Perfect choice as per now. Anyway decided to work for one year.

 

So, thats what I think. Am so confused right now about my career. Anyway I’ll work for a while in the company I got into, this has been decided by the very genius (its "me" again).

    I think this is a thing that every final year graduate will be thinkin about.

 
Drop any suggestions. Ciao.

IMVU –3D Instant Messenger.

Filed under: Tech Buzz

Hi all,

   3D instant messenger ??? What’s with the ‘3D’ ?

 Well, its 3D coz, we can represent ourselves with an avatar in 3D and can have an experience of being with the other person in real.

 
    Basically it works like this, we have to create an avatar which represents us in 3D. Then register and get an ID (Username.). D/L the instant messenger and start chatting.

    "How’s this different from other messengers ??"…. I used it myself, it really has got great features with it. First of all, unlike other messengers, thrs no need for you to search for someone to chat. The application itself searches for a match and connects you with her/him.

     Instead of a routine messenger window, we can have actual backgrounds like say, a room or a restaurent or on a cruise etc whr both of your avatars will appear. We can change from scene to scene. This gives a feel of actual chat in ur fantasy place.

   Anyway thrs yet another feature, whr u can actually do some regular activities like shakin hands or huggin or wavin a goodbye etc……… which I liked the most. All u have to do is click on the other avatar and select an action which are provided already.

   A lot more interestin features are available with this, like, a free homepage, instant search and chat from ur homepage and a easy way to import ur myspace settings etc… etc.

    Its awesome and I recommand everyone to try it sometime.

The link for the site…  www.imvu.com

Meet me thr sometime later…

Microsoft’s Zune , Can it beat Apple’s Ipod ??

Filed under: Tech Buzz

 

   After all, three out of every four people who own MP3 players own iPods. Can Zune beat this share of the market that Apple’s Ipod has?

The Zune player. 

   Although, Zune provides some head-turning temptations. It has a bigger screen, a mostly fingerprint-proof surface, a built-in FM radio tuner and a wireless file-sharing system. But most of the costumers can be considered monogamous still, when it comes to Apple’s Ipod.

 

Ipod 

   People has got accustomed to the slimmer design of iPod. It’s sleek, simple and stylish. We have passed the stage of carring a hefty player like that of Zune, and I think none prefers to go back to that stage again.

   In an article I read that you can’t play a song more than three times or for more than three days, whichever comes first in Zune( rules, God knows).

   Anyway, Can Zune beat the Ipod ?? Hmmm, lets see, most of the costumers say "No Way". $250 !! They can get almost same features for very less value. But most of the market-pandits predicts that Brand-sluts are everywhr possible and y not in Mp3players ?? Even this arguement can be supported, coz, people realize that there are other options out there in which Zune can be the one when it comes to brand-name or more features.

     What do you think ??

pageaddict — firefox add-on

Filed under: Tech Buzz

I think most of the youth who use internet whould use this add-on for firefox. It notes all the sites that we have viewed, also notes the time we spent on each page. When we click the link given below after installing it specifies what percent of the time we have wasted on each and every particular page.

For sample,

wordpress.com 2 minutes 0.2%
www.geocities.com 95 seconds 0.1%
www.google.co.in 93 seconds 0.1%
news.bbc.co.uk 80 seconds 0.1%
mail.google.com 79 seconds 0.1%
prashix.wordpress.com 59 seconds 0.1%
images.google.co.in 40 seconds 0.1%
pageaddict.com 36 seconds 0.1%
us.geocities.com 24 seconds 0%
www.bbc.co.uk 24 seconds 0%

An awesome tool which also helps us to restrict and also tag about any page. Good to use.
