Steve Jobs and Bill Gates

// December 25th, 2008 // No Comments » // TechBytes

Hello, I am a Mac, and I am a PC.

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs comes on stage jointly discussing the history and future of the digital revolution on May 30 with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher for seventy-five minutes. PC World has the entire conversation jolted down in text. I like the part where Steve Jobs said:

“When Bill and I first met each other and worked together…generally, we were the youngest guys in the room.” Today, “I’m the oldest guy in the room most of the time.”

Best Online Storage Service

// December 17th, 2008 // No Comments » // Microsoft, My Reviews

I discovered Windows Live SkyDrive a few months back. But back then it was still in the beta stage and wasnt really appealing. After going back to it last week, I sure was impressed. Especially since i was looking for a place to safely store about 2-3 GB of pictures n some other stuff, which i wanted to be accessible only be me, and I was also looking for a good interface. The Flickr UI is not that appealing, and Picasa offers only 1GB. Enter SkyDrive. It hav a very unobtrusive interface, and that coupled with entire folder uploading (a feature that works only when you use IE). Still, perfect for me.
