Zoho Office applications are getting more and more famous and are being talked about equal to Google applications. It has even been used to test the performance of Firefox 3 RC version and has been mentioned in the release notes on mozilla site.
Go Zoho Go !!
Update:- It seems this has already been mentioned in Zoho blogs too.
Hello readers, Sorry for not being active for a long time. I took a break of a week for holidays.
(Skip reading next paragraph if you already know about e-snips)
E-Snips.com is a popular file sharing site which provides 5GB of storage with social networking features like friends, favorites etc. What makes it special is that, you can share anything on the site, view videos (like YouTube) and hear audio on the site directly, set permissions, and people need not wait to download anything from the site. They also give a handy standalone uploader and toolbar to make life very simple.
There also loads of MP3, audio books and great e-books which makes it my first choice when ever I need an e-book to download. Some time ago they had removed the download button for the MP3 files. Then again 2 or 3 times hacks were discovered and were fixed. Now again a hack has been found to download MP3 files from E-snips.
Enough talking How do we download MP3 from E-Snips ?
Here is how you do it. For example if you want to download the MP3 on this URL 'http://www.esnips.com/doc/96ee9a-95a1-4567-863b-dfg44-2566f279d/SampleSong'
Open your mp3 page. The one with the flash mp3 player on it.
So finally the above URL should look like this
'http://www.esnips.com/nsdoc/96ee9a-95a1-4567-863b-dfg44-2566f279d/ts_id/1205795172796/ns_flash/file1.mp3'
Just give it a go in the browser and the file download dialog will appear. Enjoy !!

"Okay, Okay I get it, Stop biting your teeth. I'll promise to keep such things down in the future" :P
After reading this post by Amitji about today's Google Homepage logo and this post by Rahul on DW where I found the link to this page showing RSS feeds for Google homepage, I was curious if I could find an archive of all Google Homepage Logos somewhere on the net.
I landed on this page hosted on google itself, and found a huge archive of all the google holiday logos (That is how they call it) that appeared on their homepage since 1999. BTW, did someone tell you that Google project was initially named "BackRub" ??
Here are few of the logos I liked
The logo above represents "Leap Year".... cool isn't it ?
Here is the link - http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html
Now you can login to Zoho using Yahoo and Google accounts. This is a superb move by people at Zoho in response to this Lifehacker Post with a poll.
I had previously made a post about detailed comparison of Zoho and Google online application suites. Click here to check my previous post about it.
If you don't know what Zoho is about, then read my post which gives an introduction to online applications.

I read somewhere on the web some time ago that, in order to make your blog more interesting you need to do the following.
Now this post is going to have everything of the above to the maximum. Yes, it actually about a page I found yesterday. Please don't ask me how I found it :P
Its is about the PORN collection of a french techie programmer named Sam. Check out what is soooo interesting about a techie's porn collection.
Nuff said, just check the link below and give me your comments !

I found this page on IMDB site with all the dialogues from the movie 'THE MATRIX' Here is one of the peculiar conversations between the Spoon boy and Neo
Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
It is up to you to decide whether they are cool or whether we are the fools ! :)
Orkut has added a new feature by which users can comment on your photos. I love this feature and was expecting it for a long time. Check the links to read more.
And I'm back on Orkut :)

Being a techie is fun, but sometimes it can get very very annoying too.
Fun, because of the fame, respect, satisfaction and the eyebrows that get raised when you increase the font size of the selected text using Ctrl+Shift+> instead of clicking the font size box in MS Word. Annoying, when people ask - "I recently installed Firefox 3.0 and suddenly sparks came out from my CPU. Does the latest Firefox come with a virus that burns the SMPS ?"
Coming back to the topic of this post, why am I writing this is because most of the times, I get queries from people regarding current prices of mobile phones and accessories, computer hardware, laptops, MP3 Players and other gadgets though, Neither do I own any of these (except a second hand MOTOROKR E6) Nor do I own or have befriended the owner of a gadget shop.
Here are the ways I get the latest prices easily on the net
