Its a community dinner

2007-08-09T02:36:00.000-07:00

This is the amazing video that compiled to show on the Community Dinner.

A short video documenting the bi-weekly Grub at Rubulad in Brooklyn. Grub is a cheap, simple dinner for strangers and co-conspirators. We see it as a practical way to build community. Much of the food is ripe or slightly damaged fresh produce thrown out by grocery stores. We recover it, clean it, and cook it with love.

iPhone for india

2007-07-09T00:55:00.000-07:00

Two things were on hype in india and around the world(!!!) one is Rajinikanth's 'Shivaji the movie' and Apple's 'iPhone'. Apple claimed that, they have sold 500,000 iPhones on the first week of its release.

Meanwhile indianized iPhone with the features were mimicked by Mutiny.

Some sources(!) says HCL, Wipro are competing to get the iPhone for the indian market. But moreover people are not worried on these. They are just searching for getting the Unlocked version of iPhones by pating $25 / 1000 bugs more to it at Palika Bazar in Delhi.

Look at how to Unbricking the iPhone by Jon Lech Johansen

Does these simple feature of Google search helps us?

2007-07-09T00:37:00.000-07:00

I'm searching the content on 'Shivaji' over Google.

At the end of the search results page-1 i found these refined keywords options provided for the user(Searcher) to assist him to reach the needed accurate content.

I find this is one more simple and nice feature with the 'Did you mean' in making searcher life simple & easier.

Hey, here you can find some intresting google testimonials, where people have written thier stories on these simple google implementations.

So did you find it worthy?

Next generation touch screen killer applications

2007-06-13T21:29:00.000-07:00

I'm fascinated about these touch screen killer gadgets/devices like Apple's iPhone, Microsoft Surface and Accenture's Interactive Wall Technology.

Meanwhile i have noticed one more multi-touch killer application invented by Jeff Han. He founded Perceptive Pixel, Inc. in 2006 as a spinoff of the NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences to develop and market the most advanced multi-touch system in the world.

Do you aware of TCPA?

2007-06-13T02:25:00.000-07:00

Nope, first tell me what's the heck is this TCPA?
TCPA stands for Trusted Computing Platform Alliance. For the technology it will speak from TCP (The trusted computing platform). This plans that every computer will have a TPM (Trusted Platform Module), also known as Fritz-Chip, built-in. At later development stages, these functions will be directly included into CPUs, graphiccards, harddisks, soundcards, bios and so on. This will secure that the computer is in a TCPA-conform state and that he checks that it's always in this state. This means: On the first level comes the hardware, on the second comes TCPA and then comes the user. The complete communication works with a 2048 bit strong encryption, so it's also secure enough to make it impossible to decrypt this in realtime for a longer time. This secures that the TCPA can prevent any unwanted software and hardware. The long term result will be that it will be impossible to use hardware and software that's not approved by the TCPA. Presumably there will be high costs to get this certification and that these would be too much for little and mid-range companies. Therefore open-source and freeware would be condemned to die, because without such a certification the software will simply not work. In the long term only the big companies would survive and could control the market as they would like.

* So what i do for this, you can do all these to support and spread the words.

Bug in Googe Search Results!!

2006-11-10T02:24:00.000-08:00

Yesterday my friend Nikhil is searching for some C# code on the Google's new feature CodeSearch to get more relevant and appropriate source code for developers. Thanks to Google for that.

When he run his query he got this " Results 1 - 10 of about 20. (0.03 seconds)". So it means he got 10 results. Definitely one page results beacuse of the rule 10 results per page.

But surprisingly, at the end of the results he got the link to see the next set results on the page two.

Just for curiosty, he navigated to next page. he got this!!!!!!!!.

Ooops, not even single result (of course there only 10 results how can we expect more than that). But even why these Googlers haven't tested this scenario to fix atleast their name is coming properly as "Google" rather than "Gogle".

It's funny.. isn't it.

Oops! Timezone for India is missed in the Microsoft Designer community for Indians!!!

2006-11-09T01:46:00.000-08:00

Finally, Microsoft just cross their barries in supporting only their developers community and their activities. Now they have come up the Designer community to focus on the designers activities in the fileds like Web, Print and other interactive media. (Obviously they have some new products called Expression which focuses on the Grapgic Designers, Interactive Designers and Web Designers.

Ofcourse we think its a Sales/Marketing strategy to make more active users and contributors to promote well. But, any how designers will also get much useful seminars, discussions, events around the city to know more and more on the products, domain, job hunts and lot more.

Recently, Microsoft has hosted a event to launch officially in building the community in Le Meridian, Bangalore on 28th September 2006.

Even lot many discussion has happened to build the better community and how the users need to particiate to make use of the community and lot more stuffs, finaly there was no such inofrmation which ahas spread across the particpants or on the net to know more details on the post event of the community launch program.

Finally, i got a link from one of my friend, its a http://1expression.net/.

Good, its a begin, every need to participate and to share make good network, so currently we have very less users and only few posts.

But, why this mistake is happened on the Forum Regstration page. In the Timezone, their is no entry of the (GMT + 5.30) so indian cities names are missing. So definitely i need to pick the other nearby one is (GMT +05:00) Islamabad, Karachi, Tashkent.

Why this so,

Is it beacuse to reduce the height of the COMBOX entries.
or just simply, used the pre-built code.

Guys, the focus of the community for indian designers and the first step is wrong. Anyways it just an simple mistake we can correct it.

Help Pooja find her parents

2006-11-08T21:51:00.000-08:00

Pooja is a 4 year old girl kidnapped by a beggar. This person made Pooja beg with him. He was arrested in the Kerala state and jailed. Pooja is in an orphanage (Nirmala Sisu Bhavan in Trivandrum, Kerala, India). The beggar who kidnapped her is dumb and deaf. So police cannot get the place from where he kidnapped her.

Pooja's primary language is Hindi and as per Pooja, her mother's name is Munni Devi and Father's name is Raju.

Pooja says she has a younger brother and an elder sister. She says her place is Nagaluppe, but no one has heard about this place.

I think with the power of Internet and by spreading the word around, we may be able to trace her parents.

If you know any information about her parents, please call this orphanage.
The phone number is 0471-2307434 (0471 is the area code for Trivandrum, Kerala).

Please forward this website address (http://www.helppoojafindherparents.org ) to as many people as you can, especially to all your friends and relatives in India. Every new person visiting this website increases the chances of Pooja finding her parents.

Can’t we do at least forwarding this message to all your friends rather than usual junk forwards?

WUDBE - World Usability Day - Bangalore Edition

2006-11-08T21:49:00.000-08:00

Are you Graphic/Web/Interior/Interface/Interaction Designer, Architect, Product Designer?

Bangalore based designers are celebrating the WORLD USABILTY DAY 2007 on this November 14^th by joining all the designers around Bangalore to meet, share, communicate each other along with sessions, seminars, quiz, competitions and much more to enjoy.

So, guys just rush to registration form and just fill up simple form to reserve your seats fast and lastly spread this info among the other friends to make this event grand success.

Hutch!! why your service sucks..

2006-11-08T21:39:00.000-08:00

In my favorite and the most visually appealing websites Hutch site also. Hutch creative team is always stands with their own creative ideas on visual, print and in web media.

Every month I usually visit their site to pay my mobile connection payments. I always stuck up in too many issues in paying my hutch bills

1. May be because I forgot my password, so I need to call up to customer support to get new one, at least I have done this for consecutive three months.

2. Or they may have setup a new password for a while, once I finished my payments I just log off from the site without changing my password (it may be temporary password, but they haven’t prompted once I logged in to change password, if so they need to), so again it will be locked for the next login, so next time the old password won't work. So again I need to call up those guys by providing some of personal info to claiming that I’m the right person, so please give the new password ;).

3. Lastly, one of my favorite browser is Firefox, the Hutch's online payment webpage link from the corresponding referring page it won't take to the corresponding page due to some JavaScript errors. Firefox won't execute the next line of statements to navigate / redirecting the page until the previous error is corrected.

So definitely I need to close the Firefox and need to turn on IE. IE never cares for JavaScript errors, it just shows some times in message window, if make them hide details, even ignores it and easily executes the next statement and redirects to the page. Oops finally I reached the page.

I know, i should not blame them they have put small note on the browser support like "Please note currently My Hutch is only supported by Internet Explorer version 5.0 and above"

This time I don't want to repeat the same stupidity what I have done thrice before, so after once login I just clicked on "Change Password", after filling with the OLD and NEW password, I just press the next FORM buttons, as generally humans or the computer users does, but it just reset the form page without submitting it. Yeah I clicked the RESET than the SUBMIT, yes it was my mistake. But how could I have done this without seeing it.

According to normal human-computer interaction behavior, always at the end of the form, users does usually get SUBMIT first and RESET next, this principal was used from most of the applications, and we daily come across.

This is very simple and quite common mistakes that usually the form designers do. But the usage of these websites / portals users are definitely huge, so the designers / developers need to take care in building the browser compliant and simple and more usable/interactive sites.
