Driver Installation: Clearing Misconceptions
Unlike Mac OS X, which runs only on preconfigured Apple machines, Windows needs users to install specific drivers for their hardware usually available from their respective vendors. Now most users, when installing their new hardware, just connect the new component and pop in the included driver disk to their drives and just install everything from that Autorun prompt. They ignore the default notification from Windows itself, that ‘Found New Hardware’ window stating concerned hardware’s name. Incidentally most of the time, driver disks accompanied with products are ridden with several bloatwares and crappy softwares which might not be needed after all. These programs load automatically into Windows and tend to start at system startup, hogging resources and making Windows boot slower in the process.

A Rant Against Everything

The following lines are part of a full-blown rant against anything and everything. I can’t be held responsible if it hurts your sensibilities. Also, I can’t be held responsible if you waste 30 seconds of your life on this page. So here goes:

My last post was on the 18th of November. That makes it 12+16=28 days between that one and this post. A lot of water has flown under the bridge between then and now.

Most of the things that could have gone wrong, gladly obeyed Murphy’s law...

Embedded OS: New Concept on installing an OS
Embedded OS is in. Hardware manufacturers, consumer PC makers are proudly showing it off with their next-gen machines boasting features like ~5 seconds boot time. Mainstream motherboards are going to have little amount of NAND flash memory embedded on them which will be loaded with Linux distros with very small footprint. The resulting features are awesome, providing shockingly fast access to common internet applications, entertainment modules like media players etc. This comes handy when we want to have our hands on these regular applications in split timings without bothering about starting a full blown OS. It’s very interesting indeed and full of potentials too.

Spam Magnets

The amount of spam being generated all over the world shows no sign of going down. If I had access to the stats, I’d be able to tell you that [a very large number under 100] % of all mail is spam. Okay, so I do have access to the bloody stats but I’m too lazy. Now moving on, in times like these you’d think that one must follow some basic rules of the Internet. No, I’m not talking about clearing your browsing history after each session. The rule I’m talking about is - ‘You should not give out your e-mail address on public bulletin-boards, forums etc’. But do people listen? NO.....

'Blog' Fails Spellcheck!

The word ‘blog’ may not have been in Ye Olde English, but surely you’d expect at least WordPress’ spellchecker to recognize the word, wouldn’t you?...

New Year Shows Efficiency Of Indian Telecomm

While we all get all worked up about the launch of 3G in India, little do we look at the horribly sorry state of our existing telecomm infra-structure. The entire telecomm network both cellular & wired were down for almost 25 minutes from around 11:58 PM, 31st December to around 12:20 AM, 1st January. Too many people wishing each other perhaps.
