Google Chrome does not support Google Toolbar
I thought only Microsoft messes up their products / releases. I could not understand, why will Google release such a major product i.e. a browser to compete against Microsoft and the Firefox without support for their own toolbar. Also, after five days of usage, I find Google Chrome still lacking in many areas: Browser plug-ins […]
Google Chrome – A quick review
I was reading about Google Chrome. > Some blog says that it has snapped up 2.8% market share in 24 hours. Amazing. Isn’t it? > Some feels they have dumped and back-stabbed their partner, Mozilla / Firefox So I decided to try it out. My observations (based on two days of usage) have been: > […]
Quillpad – Type in Indian regional languages
Today I came across an online tool called Quillpad. This online software let you type in most Indian regional languages (including Hindi, of course). The quality of application and usability has blown me away! I think such applications will make vernacular content a reality on Internet. This is how they describe their service: Quillpad is […]
Started using Twitter
I have finally started using Twitter. My twitter page is http://www.twitter.com/abhishekrungta To be honest, I do not think Twitter is a great thing.

Abhinav Bindra wins first ever individual olympic gold for India
Today, Abhinav Bindra won the 10m air rifle gold and became the first ever individual from India to win a gold medal at Olympics. I think this is the most joyful event in the history of Indian sports. More so because, it was a painful thought that a country with more than 1 billion people […]
You got to pay me to pay me! – The TalkMobile story.
For my stay in the UK, I bought a TalkMobile Pay-As-You-Go mobile connection. (Quick tip: It is the cheapest option to call abroad while you are in the UK. All incoming calls are free for you. And yes, It just takes few minutes to get activated) Honestly speaking, it worked quite nicely. But I was shocked, when I […]

Saturation of the social networking fad
There is a mad rush towards online social networking space. Every second person wants to get on the bandwagon with his own social networking website with a silly-sounding name. In my opinion, most of these sites are just a fad and are not built on strong fundamentals in terms of a) revenue sources and b) the […]
