The festive season has started, and today was a dussehra holiday. And the arrival of dussehra also marks the start of a season of festivities, with Diwali, the festival of lights being eagerly awaited. As the whole atmosphere starts to get decked up with the usual paraphernalia of colorful decorations, the Netscribes office, true to its spirit, was at the forefront of decorations too. Its a very cheerful sight that greets you, as you enter the office early morning. Let the festivities begin :-).

Google has launched an online feedreader, complete with labels and filters. Google seems to have a simple paradigm in the present competitive environment - come up with one product innovation and introduction every two weeks. Check out the new Google Reader.
Some of the interesting features worth looking at are ‘GmailThis’ and ‘BlogThis’ tools. The new feature is yet to be explored, but I am moving my opml files in the meanwhile.
Here comes the first post from my new laptop HP dv1345 (from HP dv1000 series). It is a small little workhorse and I am getting excited about it as the days pass. (Pictures taken with Nokia 6680 camera phone).
Got it on 3rd October, and it brought a good omen with it. I won the Intel Kismat ki Chaabi contest on the very next day. So now I would be treating myself to a new bike soon, thanks to the Intel promo that is going on India right now. It was a tough decision to make, as the grand prize is a cool gift voucher for INR 1 lac for the five options, viz. an International Tour courtesy Thomas Cook, Dubai Shopping Festival, Child Education Plan, Samsung Digital Home Range, and Bajaj Motorcycles. I opted for the motorcycle option, as I can buy two bikes for around 1.20 lacs, one for myself (yours truly desperately needs one as commuting is starting to become an expensive and painful proposition in autorickshaws). So would need to shell out 20k more and gift my younger brother a bike as well. Not a bad deal at all. I am on a new high ;-).
Coming back to Adam (yeah, that is what I am planning to name my laptop - name brings many connotations along with this being my first laptop), it has the following specs:
- Intel Centrino 1.73 GHz
- 60 Gb HDD
- 512 RAM single module
- DVD/CD +/- RW
- Wifi 802.11 b/g
- 14.1″ Wide Screen
- Quick Play Functionality - a cool feature that lets you play music and watch DVDs without booting the laptop
- Beautiful blue-lit keyboard
- 3 USB Ports, 1 Firewire, 1 Card Reader (SD, MMC, XD, SM), 1 Network Card Adapter
- HP Remote - Loved this. Can use this while watching movies, and can also do a windows shut down using the remote
- Windows XP Home Edition
Here is a picture of the Brightview Screen:
It weighs a decent 2.3 kgs and is not very heavy to carry. I will be writing a review on this soon. For now, I am hooked :-).
