Microsft XP SP 3

I was just going through the blog post on IE blog , where I came across a typical Microsoft faltugiri . It says that if you have XP Service Pack(SP) 2 and IE 7 installed and would like to upgrade to SP 3 then you wont be able uninstall IE 7.... Why? Its because if you uninstall IE 7 then you would revert back to older version of IE 6 of SP2 but your current service pack is SP 3. So you would be having a mismatch SP files. Hence in case you want to uninstall IE 7 then you would have to first uninstall SP 3 then uninstall IE 7 and finally install SP 3 again. What the heck is this??? My question to Microsoft is that if I like to install IE 7 then it mostly means I don't want to use IE. Why do you revert back to IE 6. If the user really loves IE 6 so much as to uninstall IE 6 then rather let him reinstall IE 6 himself. To be honest it seems one more of those Microsoft's Strategies to to prevent users from moving on to products other than that of Microsoft's. Recently they laun...

False Diary

Murali Kartik played the first ever IPL match on 18th April only to be a mere "fielder" in the Kolkata Knight Riders Team. This is the sneak peak in his diary on 18th of April... "Dear Diary, It was a very hectic day at the ground. Not that I had to bowl many overs, but I had to field for so much time. In fact, I didnt bowl a single over. Strange!! I still dont know why everyone was looking at me like that. It all started with Shah Rukh coming to our dressing room to meet us. While shaking hand with me, he said some like "keep well", "one or two misses are fine". I think he is working too late these days. Even Sourav has gone crack. When Mc'cullam refused to keep after his knock, he asked me I would like to keep wickets. If that wasnt enough, during our bowling, when I asked Dada for an over or two, he started laughing. What the heck? If you didnt want me to bowl or bat then why did you pick me the team??? Who do they think I am?  Dhinesh...

9 Reasons to archive

This one is from GMail blog. Top 9 reasons why one should use the archive facility in gmail(I use it): 9. Phone numbers and addresses You never know when you'll need a phone number someone emailed you or an address that was in a signature. 8. Procrastination Sometimes you want to get a message out of your inbox, but you don't want to deal with organization, and you don't want to trash it. 7. Posterity Just because you’re not famous now doesn’t mean that in forty years (or fifteen minutes) you won’t want to write your memoir. 6. Winning arguments “But on May 5, 2005 at 8:43pm EDT you said….” 5. Mailing lists Do you really need to know what Clintobamccain is doing every day? Auto-archive* their messages until you want to donate again. 4. Birthdays Search for “grandma birthday” and voila, find the message you sent her last April. Aren't you glad you archived instead of deleted? 3. That guy Remember that guy you thought you’d never need to get in touch with ever again? 2...
