Which Page Should Be Your Home Page

These days Internet is a regular part of our lives and the component of the computer that connects us to the internet is our Web Browser. So what should be kept as a homepage for our web browser?

After lot of thinking and trial and error i have reached my conclution.

Should it be a personalized homepage (iGoogle or Yahoo)-No

Should It be a web portal- (MSN,Yahoo,AOL)-No

Should it be a search engine-(Google,Live)-No



The Best option for your homepage is Blank:

That's right- blank and that is because:

It saves time as a page does not have to be loaded when you start your web browser. You dont have to see the same page when you start your browser for the nth time during one session.

If you really are a time freak a better option would be to create a favourites group containing all the Login Pages Of websites you regularly visit and then using the "Open In Tab Group" option on the right click menu.

Speech Recogination In Windows Vista: A Terrible Joke!

I couldn't think of a better title that would tell any body anything about speech recoganition in Windows Vista. Today I had some free time so i decided that it would be fun to give the long unused speech recogaintion a try. After an hour of painstakingly setting up the whole thing as recommended by Microsoft i get an application that is totaly usesless and takes space as "Empty" Ha Ha Very Funny.

I think i could have typed faster than I would speak using speech recoganition.

For Example i am going to speak :"A Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog" and let us see what speech recoganition makes of it.."

P.S.- I also said "peech Recoganition Is totally useless"which somehow made it move downwards...!

-ok-

Click on the image to see what Speech Recoganition did to it! If that is not enough i have another piece where i sspent 15 minutes dictating "My Name Is" but tried in vain to make it spell my name:

Well if you still have time to kill and happen to own Windows Vista,

Start>All Programs>Accessories>Ease Of Access > Windows Speech Recoganition.

Although I would recommend not deleting it, it would be a good laugh when someone comes over!

Inside A Mobile!

Here is the inside view of mobile parts as i promised. The mobile is very ancient infact it willl look like a stone to the current iPhone generation. As far as i remember it has a blue display i kept it when it was rendered useless and had a lot of difficulty opening it. I used to play Mobile-Puzzle with it taking out all parts and rearranging them again, because of which the keypad was lost! Anyway take a look:
(Sorry about the quality of the images i dont have any better camera available right now!)

A picture with all the parts together.

The part we love- Circuit Board!!

The Battery...

What is left of the keypad.

The Screen

Inside A Webcam !

I don't get many opportunities to break gadgets and then see what is inside them but sometime back i got a chance and decided that its good enough to share with the world. I did go ahead and by a latest product and take it off it was just an old webcam that didn't work anymore.
I expected the webcam to be cramed from inside but was surprised to find that it just had a circut board along with the lense.
So without further ado here are the pics:
Everything taken out with the help of a knife!

Side view of the circuit board attached with the lens.

Back Side of the circuit board.

Ok look at the lens (Say Cheeese)

Separating the lens from the motherboard .(took out the convex lens inside it.)

Well Thats That!
Not satisfied??
Dont worry "Inside a mobile" is coming very soon!!

Google's Homepages: A Study

Thought that Google's same old boring homepage doesn't change at all?? Lets have a look at different Google homepages.....

1.)The Ususal Lot:

They just have the standard features, and contain the list of we are hiring etc etc..

The countries in this list are:Google Australia and Google UK

2.)The standard Google Homepage/Google Usa Homepage:

The same as the ususal ones but does not have the "search for pages from" option. But in its own class because it is the "Official" Google homepage for the world.

3.)The language Barrier Ending Homepages:Google South Africa, Google Canada,Google India,Google Malaysia,Google Pakistan

These are for multi-lingual countries where Language is a bar for free flow of information.

I have screenshots of homepages of all the above countries but i am really sorry i dont have patience to upload them ;-0

4.) The Unique One : Google China

I am sure you must have guessed that! It has a rather iteresting navigation system at the different coloured balls...

So here was a study i know there must be over a hundred more homepages but all will fall in one of the above categories....
