Nice Way to interact with computers

I was browsing through the TED Videos this afternoon and found this interesting way that could potentially simplify the way we interact with the computers…

It is nice to see initiatives that enhance productivity. “Siftables”, as they are called, could potentially make the use of existing technology in terms of sensors, communication chips and computing power of processors to simplify interaction with a lot of productivity utilities.

Recently, I have been thinking about a movie project that I would like to do a couple of years down the line and I am shocked to see that though technology has made awesome effects on screen possible, yet it is hard and expensive for someone like me (total novice) to experiment with film making.

I guess an interface like the one in the movie “Minority Report” is a bit further than I thought…

~ Delhi 6 ~

Best Dialog: “Jis din 1 note liya na, 2 sikke milne band ho jayenge ji” (I didn’t expect that at all !)

Somehow I feel both the Sonam Kapor movies that I have seen (Saawariya and Delhi 6) could have been better if the Sets in Saawariya and Audio Editing in Delhi 6 were better than they are…

“Delhi 6″ is a nice song, added that to my running songs list !

When would Airtel learn !

Canceling an Airtel corporate connection is as painful as it was 2 years ago…

I had an Airtel Corporate Connection in 2007 that I wanted to discontinue. Airtel pained me! I tried for 2 weeks before I gave up and it took Airtel 7 months to cancel the connection. And that wasn’t all! The Airtel

Corporate Manager for my ex employer gave me a call claiming I or my ex employer had to pay the rental for these 7 months and since the ex employer had refused, I would have to settle the bill. Obviously I asked them to take a walk… ( though my words were a bit more harsh then ;) )

Why am I cribbing about it now?

We have a similar case with one of the LifeMojo connections now :) I hope someone responsible is monitoring social media / my blog and is willing to change things at Airtel.

Unethical Marketing

I got an email from a company “Shanghai QPNIC Web Property Solutions Limited” informing me about one of their clients “Path soft Corp” being interested in buying domains lifemojo.net.cn, lifemojo.org.cn, lifemojo.cc, lifemojo.mobi, lifemojo.asia, lifemojo.hk, lifemojo.tw, lifemojo.com.tw, lifemojo.com.hk.

I could make out this is a scam because if someone wants to buy a domain he can ! He doesn’t need permission :)

I goggled for others who might have got similar emails and a lot of them have blogged about this.

Here is What I got:
