Phas gaye OBAMA. A wonderful movie

What a wonderful movie. No much promotion. No much hype. A sweet and simple movie. Perfect for that time passing weekend. I don't know, just loved it. A lot of humor and classic Hindi " GALIs". You feel like watchdogging movie again and again. I mean at-least i felt so. A simple story about NRI. How he goes through difficult times, struggles and ultimately wins the battle and is able to save his family form coming on to the street

Do you know why Facebook is Facebook today ?

Because it brings social life on the internet. I liked the movie social networking a lot. The way they have shown the whole concept of face book. From face mash to face book. He tried to convert entire outside social life into a virtual social life. As right asked by mark. What actually makes people come online is that they are always interested knowing what is going on in others life. Upfront it may be difficult to ask this question to people and friends all the time. But its so easy to just go through the profiles of the people without having to cal them every now and then. Girls always want to know if girls are single and ready to mingle. Same thing is true with girls. They want to know who is doing what and where are they and what is their status. This allows people to get friendly offline and then becomes friends offline. It also allows people , i mean real strangers to get familiar with each and the get to know more. It helps one to market himself or herself and one can do it with ease. This is the beauty of it. Even people who don't open their mouth and express their mouth in-front of others can do it with ease.

what i didnt know about chrome OS was that it is cloud based.

Ya Google chrome is all cloud based. Meaning you need constant internet connection to run the Google chrome OS. It's all browser based. The system is fast. It boots fast and gives you quick results. All Google applications are on the desktop so you can access them easily. The reason Google is doing this is because it wants to use this cloud technology to completely convert OS to cloud based. As broadband penetration is increasing and people are more glued to internet, Google is shifting th whole OS experience online. And as more and more application are internet based, i think this is the future. And this shift will definitely hurt and hamper other OS players in the market. Definitely the system is like browsing through the web than a conventional file system. Complete details are not known as of now but will be out soon. I will post a link which will show you the working of the system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqM6KVz2GLU&NR=1
Please see the link and the new Chrome OS system running on a sleek notebook.

Google to ship Laptops and PCs with Chrome OS

Google to ship its laptops with new OS that is called Chrome OS. It will be a new enterent in the PC OS market. So far the most Important OS in the Market are Windows and MAC. Linux is also there but has not become so user friendly. At one point of time it seemed that linux will take over windows and MAC but it doesnt seem like that anymore. Right now google has tied up with Acer samsung and other PC manufacturer. We will get to see the glimps of the same soon. Only time will tell if this can give competetion to the existing companies in the market. Google has proved to be leader when it comes to online platform. The biggest application og google is still its search engin. Lets wait and watch.

Corporate chanakya. What is it ?

Hi i have come across a book called corporate chankya. Amazing book. It talks about Arthashstra developed by chanakya. This is about what management principle were used by ancient India. There are more than 6000 sutras that can be used and applied and almost all the modern management principles are covered in the same. But we have forgotten that completely in todays world. We have a rich history and if we study the same then it can be really helpful in todays competitive world.
