I got my first Android phone recently and immediately fell in love with it.. I started looking into the Android SDK and just to try it out, I created an app for Facebook real-time search(using the same features from Facebook Spectrum) and published it on Android Market. If you want to check it out, click on the link below.

A big Thank you to all of those who tried my new Facebook application - Facebook Spectrum and for providing feedback. A few weeks back, I added a nice feature to it - a real-time search of the posts (status messages, links, videos etc) on Facebook. Its very simple to use - Just enter your keyword and hit Enter. Watch the posts as they come in to Facebook from all over the world. And best of all,

Last month I created an application called Facebook Spectrum that displays the metrics for your Facebook account. Many of you must have - atleast for once - wondered how your Facebook friends span out in terms of number of videos they post, the number of albums they have, who else share your likes etc.. I have gathered those metrics in this application and even better, they are displayed in a

Google introduced Chrome extensions, more or less like Toolbar plugins, that can be installed from their gallery. Extensions are like small software programs that run within your browser without having to open up a new browser. The beauty of these programs is that they are highly customizable and have all the features of a rich text HTML page. I wrote an extension myself (well, not really rewrite

Recently, I watched an episode of "The Big Bang Theory" on my 15-hour long flight from India, and I should say I was instantly hooked on to it. The show, which is about geek humor, was so amazing that I wish I had more than 4 episodes on the flight's on-demand entertainment system. I always wondered why all the sitcoms are so stereotype and then I came across Seinfeld, which is the only show I

When I developed my Quick Stock Watch and Global Index Watch gadgets, my main motive was to reach a lot of people across the world. There were a bunch of finance gadgets at that time, but they all catered to US stock markets. I clearly saw the need for a gadget that works across the stock markets all over the world. I then figured out that Yahoo has the most comprehensive coverage on stock market

In today's world of modern technology, 5-megapixel is the starting point for someone to buy a digital camera. Anything less than that is something people look down upon. Even cellphones do come with over 2 Megapixel camera built in. The fact that taking lots of pictures using such a high resolution digital cameras cost nothing is so predominant fact in everybody's mind that we do forget at times

How many dimensions can we see around u? We all live in a 3-dimensional world, but we are all moving in this 3-dimensional world in the fourth dimension, which is time. So, as far as I am concerned, I see 4 dimensions - Length, Breadth, Height and Time. Here is a new approach that extends this concept to show that theoretically, there can be 10 dimensions possible. The following video explains it

Yesterday I had a look at the Quick Stock Watch analytics and I was surprised to see the all-time number of hits over 965K, I thought I'd wait one more day to see it cross a Million and that day is today.. In exactly 3 months(Jan 19th to Apr 18th), this module got a million hits and just under half a million views.. I know how Google calculates analytics and I understand that all these hits need

Hurray.. I am glad my Stock module got 23K visits and almost 50K pageviews in the first week since I started logging analytics on the gadget. Here is a geo-map overlay of the users accessing this module all over the world. I am glad someone is using my module, which I had started developing as a hobby. This picture shows dots at few locations on the map(only if a location has "atleast" certain

I uploaded my second Google Personalized Gadget to Google's content directory today. Its a personalized news feed. You will be able to have real-time updates of the type of news you selected on your Google personalized page.

I have been observing the robustness of the Google Personalized Homepage and the ability to add/delete/drag/drop gadgets on your personalized homepage and it was fascinating. That, I felt is going to be the next generation of Web. Well, Google, as different as always, allows users to write their own gadgets to be added to this page. I started writing my own little gadget that displays the change

Most of those emails got blocked by the addressees anti-spam softwares and got bounced back. Since that email doesnt actually exist, they ended up in my Inbox as I have activated "Catch All" feature

Just to vent out all of my frustration in a couple of words - "Pepboys sucks". I have been going to Pepboys for all my car repairs for the past 3 years. Recently I took my car to their garage to report a problem that there is a lot of noise while turning, and even more while making a U-turn. I got a call from them saying that the axle has gone bad and needs replacement. I was 450 dollars poorer

Did it ever happen to you where you dream of something, something that you haven't seen before or does not exist and suddenly one day you get the privilege to see it in reality. Today, I came across some experiment conducted by a bunch of researchers in UK regarding capturing the electromagnetic space images on camera. They call it a Wi-Fi camera, which is an appropriate name. I always fantasised

Rajampet, a small town in the southern part of Andhra Pradesh, India is where I grew up and spent pretty much all of my childhood. Finally, I could make my place appear on the Internet last week. I registered the domain name rajampet.com and added some very basic content to it to get started. It features some details about where the place is, what is it known for, why I created the page etc.. Oh.

I was one of the millions of people who shared the same opinion about what happened on the Sept 11th to the United States, as I witnessed the two towers on fire from Newark, NJ on my way to skool.

Today, I see a change in the way my Yahoo! Mail page looks.. I clicked on "Check Mail", which I usually do once every 15 mins atleast :) and I see a new page asking me if I want to try the Yahoo!

I have read about the change when Yahoo! announced a couple of months back that they were switching to Outlook type of webpages and I have been waiting to try

I had some time to kill this morning and the first thing I do when I feel so is to go to Google Video. Watch this video - this one is so wonderful and stuck me straight in the head.. I just couldn't help myself think anyone would be able to do this and if so, how difficult it would have been.. The music is fantastic, the lights are brilliant, and most importantly, the timing is..

South Africa's 20-match winning streak comes to an end. I have witnessed a lot of matches where India batted tremendrously but very rarely did I watch a match where India's bowling was excellent. Today, It was a pleasure to witness India's fielding and

Are you a Yahoo! fan like me? I am a huge fan of Yahoo(I should admit - as far as search goes, I still google for stuff), I love the tight integration between several portlets and applications that Yahoo developed over a period of time. I use most of their features - Mail, AddressBook, Messenger, Calendar, Finance, Notepad, Bussiness Solutions, Games, Local, Photos, Music, News, TV and much more.

You always get to do the things you dont like, on Sunday - laundry, grocery shopping, getting ready for Monday etc..

A proper integration of Google Maps with Craigslist, one of the famous classified sites has paved way for the best housing search on the Internet. You can locate the address of the house you are looking for using Google Maps and simultaneously have a look at the pictures of the house posted on Craigslist for that ad.
