Google Explains What a Browser Is

Believe it or not, not that many people know what browser is. All they know is that the browser is a way to search things on Internet.

This is where Google comes in to educate those about what browser is. And of course Google is doing this for its Chrome browser and its upcoming Chrome OS.

A New Beginning!

This year alone, I've moved my blog to different platforms & services. At the begining, I was hosting my own blog using WP opensource and it was going great but then I found myself not maintaining the blog as I should be and I want to be part of a bigger community.

From there, I've moved my blog to VOX which was great but then it will too limited in terms of non-vox-community interaction. On those basis, I've decided to give the option of hosting my own blog one more chance, but then due to lack of maintenance and social community interaction, I've decided to move it to WP.com which was great till I found out about #posterous.

Posterous provides me the opportunity to share with the world of what I see (videos, pictures, 2 lines of text, etc) instantly by just emailing those things from my iPhone or my mac. And from there, posterous takes another step to syndicate all of those things to my other accounts on other social sites (i.e. twitter, Facebook, flickr, youtube, etc). Which is great!

So far, the limitation I've noticed with posterous are the following:

  1. It didn't migrate the comments or tags of posts from WP!
  2. How the hell do I easy add widgets and stuff to the right side bar? I don't feel like editing the HTML.
  3. I think that's all so far.

And yes, I've seriously considered trumbl but that didn't weight enough to convince me to move my blog to.

So, let's hope this is the permanent home for my virtual space.

Indians & Pakistanis: Why?

I've always wondered why do Indians and Pakistanis hate each other after living with each other for centuries?

You'll understand this after watching this BBC documentary. Enjoy..

My hero in childhoods becomes reality? :)

Thought I should share this with you. I guess till this day, I've always enjoyed watching anime cartoons that deals with robots and how some of them are human-friendly? and some that are evil that try to take over the world. Anyway, finally, the life-sized Gundam robot in Tokyo has been completed and activated. And it is impressive, I will definitely pay a visit when I am in Tokyo. Here it is:
