Politically Incorrect: Dubai


Q. How many Arabs does it take to close a deal in Dubai?
A. Two. One to draw the plans on sand and another to sell it before the wind blows it away. :D

Unite

I have started to use Opera Unite. You can find applications hosted on my computer (Hades) here: http://my.opera.com/Shaunak/unite/ [or just hit the unite button on the menubar].

I have "Fridge", "Media Player" and "Photo Sharing" running. Out of which, media player has to be the coolest. Because it allows everyone (me included) to access and stream my song collection from anywhere in the world. Its almost like my own radio station. :smile:
Edit: This is not legal. Don't do it. Thanks LorenzoCelsi for pointing this out. There go my radio station dreams. :frown:

I really encourage everyone to give Unite a whirl. Its ultra cool.

If you do access my media library, check out the album "Dancing Flute" by Bikramjit Singh. Of course, I do have an extensive Sinatra and Elvis collection as well. :wink:

PS: Ive had to put a bandwidth cap on so the streaming may not be perfect. :frown: [My rotten ISP just gives me 10 Gigs a month, upload/download]

Opera 10.1

Opera 10.1 is out folks.

It comes packed to the grills with all the old Opera good-ness and also incorporates the much talked about Unite feature.

Here is a little picture to celebrate the launch:

The camera that took this operates without *any* batteries and can conveniently be used in lieu of a battering ram. Viva La Zenit E.

Its shutter curtain got stuck last monday though. :frown:

Politically Incorrect: Inflation

The prices of essential commodities and foodstuff keep rising each day. As stocks falter and markets fluctuate, what could be a best investment in these difficult times?

Google Wave does not work on Opera 10

The hottest thing on the Internet right now, Google Wave unfortunately does not work on Opera.
It works with Firefox, Chrome and Safari though.

Speaking of Google Wave, it is a field demonstration in the sheer power of AJAX technology. The user interface, response and design is simply perfect. Its very intuitive and futuristic. It illustrates the potential for web applications in the future.

A "wave" is basically a train of thoughts or ideas, that are constructed with text, images and other media. It consists of such messages sent back and fourth between a group or "participants". Its sorta hard to explain in words. You really need to see it for yourself.

Does it revolutionize communication? Thats hard to say right now, especially since the people I communicate with are not on it! But that said, the idea is marvelous and definitely holds potential.
