The demands of the digital nomad are expected to drive laptop sales to over one billion in the next five years. The prediction by Dell came as it unveiled 10 new laptop models aimed at this emerging working class. The new Latitude line boasts as much as 19 hours of battery life for the always connected 21st century worker.  The laptops include seven Latitude business laptops and three Dell Precision workstation laptops which Mr Clarke, Dell’s representative,  described as “performance leaders and something the tech community will absolutely die for”.

It’s been a while I last posted. Lots happening around and I was just struck with baggage. Intern’s over, travelled home, came back to Mysore. Back to College! Back to schedules I was just not posting and my drafts just seemed to increase overtime. Sorry fellas and sorry myself.

I have been working on a student centric site for my college and I guess it’s ready. Its here if you want to have a look. Still need to move the servers and have SEF URL’s though. We made it on schedule!

I have been listening to Staind’s new album and its quite kicking. The Single "Believe" is a good one, not the very best of Staind though.

Its 7.00 am in Mysore and its quite chilling. Should I get back to bed or hit the swimming pool? Let me decide..

Inky Pinky Ponkey.. lol

Another golden leaf fell. The man who infused a great level of confidence with his "Last Lecture" to the world is no more. Randy Pausch, the phenomenal person whose book I finished last week, passed away last night. He is a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. In addition to being recognized as a pioneer in virtual reality research, he became widely known as a gifted teacher and a mentor to many.

If you have been closely following his blog, you can notice the postive vibes of his posts even in his last days. His ever confident smile pushes me to an extent I could never measure. RIP Randy.

I have been reading Randy Pausch’s "The Last Lecture" and I just can’t say how much I am loving that book - its phenomenal. Its about Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon who was invited to give a "Last Lecture" and the only "engineering" problem he got is - he has recently been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and just got a few more healthy months to live. I am commuting by the local Metro Train Service in Hyderabad to the place where I intern and the best way to utilize/kill time is books. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

The Last Lecture can also be watched online here.

One of my colleague at the place of my intern was facing a serious problem of being unable to store the downloaded Windows Updates. His concern is whenever he reinstalls Windows, he has to download all the updates / hot fixes and patch Windows again and again on his slow connection. Actually, there are many easy ways to download and store all the updates or alternatively, you can slipstream the updates to your Windows Installation CD.
