According to new rules unanimously passed by ICANN, at its meeting in
Paris, any company, organization or country will soon be able to apply for a new
Web address extension, called a top-level domain.

That means you can buy a TLD of your own choice soon


That could smooth the way for Web addresses that end in city names, brands
and generic words. It could also sow confusion in the minds of Web users, create
a host of new ways to exploit the Web addressing system and start a wave of
legal skirmishes over applications to register trademarks — .coke, for
example.


Oh Great OpenTLD is here :)
Watch out for some great TLD in future.
.MAIL
.GOOGLE
.SITE
or may be some cool domain names like store.apple or firstname.lastname

Google is working hard to make its sites available even to people on low bandwidth. Last they worked upon gmail & now its time for orkut.
They have reworked on the code so that if the pages are taking time to load, user will get a prompt to switch over to low-bandwidth version of the same.

Good to see the initiative, at times I'm sitting idle at airport on low speed data card connections. Thats the best time to contact friends on orkut and now it will be more easier :)

Today we are celebrating "150 days to go..." for the commonwealth youth games 2008 in Pune.

Celebration includes waking up @ 6 in the morning and being at sarasbaug @ 7 to attend a painting event. It was hard getting up but when we reached sarasbaug, it was real fun
Painters and prominent Pune citizens came together to paint there love for the spirit of games




Let's see if I get time to attend other events like "Mall Activites" & "Paryavaran Mitra".
I'll update this post accordingly.

I'm loving this
Today I tried playing with "Google Hindi Translater" on my site and I'm still laughing on some of the translations. Some commonly used terms are very nicely translated, like "about us", "contact us" etc. But the fun is to go through the uncommon sentences. Here are a few examples

Making security a common sense
--एक सामान्य बनाने में सुरक्षा की भावना

a member driven community to spread the security awareness
-- समुदाय के एक सदस्य संचालित करने के लिए जागरूकता फैलाने की सुरक्षा है

Its fun to ride on my cruiser
-- इसका मजा की सवारी मेरे क्रूजर

Man uses networked 'crazy' toaster to hack PC (from clubhack.com)
--मनुष्य का उपयोग करता है नेटवर्क ' पागल ' टोस्ट सेंकने वाला हैक करने के लिए पीसी
[Who is using whom]

ClubHack is proud to sponsor the 4th BarCamp of pune
--क्लब पर गर्व है हैक करने के लिए पुणे के प्रायोजक के 4 BarCamp
[Oops, the meaning got changed...]


Loved reading all these, try out the fun yourself via http://translate.google.com/translate_s?hl=hi

Thanks to Deepa Gupta for the interview which got published on 27th April 2008 in "MeerutPlus".

For those who don't know, Meerut is the city where I have done my graduation from and it's like my second home today.
