Earlier, I mentioned and explained about using VirtuaWin, a free Virtual Desktop Functionality software. Now, guys at SysInternals, now a part of Microsoft, have come up with Desktops, a tiny 62KB, to quadrapule your desktop.

Desktops allows you to organize your applications on up to four virtual desktops. Read email on one, browse the web on the second, and do work in your productivity software on the third, without the clutter of the windows you’re not using. After you configure hotkeys for switching desktops, you can create and switch desktops either by clicking on the tray icon to open a desktop preview and switching window, or by using the hotkeys.

Ok. I will be honest. In order to save time or not to waste time or let me put me this way, in order to multitask, I seldom seen / known people who use the "loo" time to read newspapers or magazines. In critical examination time, even I take my notes to study. But my good friend Hannah is doing some serious multitasking with respect to save time in the loo as you can see from the picture. All you hackers - beware - the time hacker is here. Way to go Hannah! Couldn’t resist sharing it !

ciao,

The iPhone was finally released in India. I believe it never lives upto its tagline, "twice as fast, half the price". Here’s why. The pricing is very steep & it doesn’t fit the bill in the sensitive Indian market context. A jail broken iPhone is available at 20,000 INR in the grey market sans the support while the iPhone is available through only 2 operators, Airtel and Vodafone, at 31,000 and 36,000 (INR) for the 8GB and 16GB models respectively. Let alone the hundreds who buy it for hype, the status and ‘cool’ness factors, why bother buying a 3G phone when India doesn’t have a 3G network at all! Also, there is no iTunes store for India.

Here go some reasons why iPhone might fail in India:

1. Overpriced in India.
2. No 3G video calls over 3G network.
3. You cannot forward a SMS message, you have to retype it or use an external application to do it.
