I found this uber-cool Windows XP theme today based on the Royale Theme which comes with XP Media Center Edition. This new theme replaces the blue on Royale with a great dark look that make it seem very Vista-like. If you’re holding off on upgrading to Vista (like I am), its a good theme to [...]
A mouse is an essential tool that most of us use almost every day. In the course of a day, many of us end up cursing them because they don’t track as well as they did when they were brand new. Often this is due to the mouse itself, but these days most quality mice [...]
Rajesh Setty had a good post today about the major gaps between large companies and small companies in Bangalore’s software industry.

This allow users to use Windows Vista media center as a PVR for just the cause [...]

After having an Ipod for over a year, I am only now getting the most out of it. This is partly due to obtaining newer music and also because of my purchase of an Ipod Integration Adapter for my Volkswagen Jetta. I looked into FM Transmitter options but being something of an audiophile, I didn’t [...]
