Steve Jobs named "Person of the Year" by The Financial Times

After Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, its now the turn of the ever-admired market revolutionary who has always been admired by the mass- Be it the iMac, iPhone or any piece of gadgetous beauty, the person has always been looked-up for his charisma and perseverance. The person founded companies like NeXT, Apple, Inc. and Pixar Studios in the worst periods of his life. If you're dumb enough to misidentify the person yet, lemme tell you that the person is Steve Jobs- CEO, Apple, Inc. =)

It's been around a week when Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was declared The Person of the Year by the Time Magazine. Very well, but think again Time because FT has a very conflicting response to your announcement and the claim is equally strong.

Check out the awesome effect and feel the cold this winter. Merry Christmas.

APPLE'S LATEST iPOD SERIES IS THE NEW TECH TALK

Hello friends. Well, this post is for sure going to turn you guys in a frenzy. Oh yes! Apple has launched it's complete new range of iPods from Shuffle to Touch. The first time I saw these all I was able to say was- "WOW! THIS IS HEAVEN".

And guess what! iPod Touch now has FaceTime. So get going with your iPhone 4 mates and start your video confs on-the-go. And I suppose by now those sleek looks might have already engaged you into thinking of those erotic moments of you, with your hand touching the sensuous capacitive multitouch display. What more? You now have full HD video recording, so that, you capture the best moments of your life with not a pixel distorted.

iPod Nano, the second on the list, now comes with a full multitouch display that too in half the size. :D Things are turning so beautiful, so elegant day-by-day, thanks to Mr. Jobs and his team for their creativity and awesomeness.

EXPERIENCE GOOGLE IN COMMAND LINE - GOOSH.ORG

Ever wondered what Google would have looked like in the world before the origin of the Graphical User Interface? Well if you're a real command line freak then all you need to do is go to http://goosh.org. Goosh actually stands for (unofficial) Google Shell. It is actually a browser enabled web-based interface powered by Google (uses Google's services) that gives you a CLI shell kind of an environment. It behaves like the Unix-based command line interface that lets you perform basic operations like basic keyword-based search, wiki search, checking your e-mail, translate between languages, perform calculations and lots more.

THE STATISTICS BEHIND STUMBLE UPON'S SOCIAL REACH

THE STATISTICS BEHIND STUMBLE UPON'S SOCIAL REACH

This is my post #2 of the day just after I posted a review on TinEye reverse image search engine. I simply got inspired to post this second article in a shot after I came across these enormous statistics delivered by Search and Social regarding the user traffic on Stumble Upon across the past year(s). Stumble Upon has really been a content broadcasting-cum-social networking fame in a very short span of time since its launch in 2001. The following statistics speak enough to prove the point right.

This is just one of those websites that I landed upon while stumbling across the web using the Stumble! button of my SU Toolbar (and that's why I say- "Stumbling works!"). This is a simple review that I was tempted to write on my own on this super-cool website just to spread some awareness about its "coolness" across the web.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE DESIGNING WEBSITE UI

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE DESIGNING WEBSITE UI

As I had promised in my previous post to write on the basic things of web designing, here is an article that focuses on the basic aspects to keep in mind while designing a website. They say, if you're a salesman, then its not the product or the service, but rather, its the customer whose of prime importance to you, as he is the person to whom the stuff is targeted. In web designing as well, the case is somewhat the same. You need to customize the website according to the audience intended. Hence instead of directly designing a website in an ad hoc manner, I recommend that you try to perform a case study of your audience.

This time I've got an awesome shot aligned loop-based video named Videogioco directed by Milkyeyes. The name sounds quite funny and so is this video.

10 WEBSITES SHOWCASING JAWDROPPING JAVASCRIPT NAVIGATIONS

JavaScript- whenever I come across this word, I go crazy wondering the heavens the language is capable of creating with just the lightest code snippet necessary to work the magic. It sometimes makes me wonder if this language had been created by philosophers. JQuery and Mootools have always supported my former statement. In this post I show you a few of the most beautiful JQuery and Mootool Javascript widgets that I collected all the way browsing and stumbling across the web.
