The guys at wordpress are fast. By fast, I mean really fast. I work in the software industry and I know what pains a team needs to go through to meet a deadline. To meet the deadline one month ahead of schedule is fantastic. Kudos to the Wordpress Team!!

So Wordpress 2.6 is out! Whats new?

Information has gone wireless. You are able to surf your internet wirelessly. That is, data is being transferred wirelessly across a pre-determined area. Now, if that is possible why not a different kind of data? Energy. Would you believe me if I told you that the concept of transferring energy wirelessly across is a concept is older than the concept of wifi? Yes, it is a fact that Nicholas Tesla successfully demonstrated ” Wireless Transfer of Electrical Energy” in the year 1891. Surely the scientific community could have made improvements over time and perfected the technique? Why has it taken us so long to start thinking about Wireless Electricity? Read On…

We all know about Rhapsody’s Online Music Streaming Service. We also saw how unpopular it was with iPod/MP3 Player Users. After all what is the use of “listen to songs” service which ties you up with a desktop or a laptop with online streaming. It seems that the guys at Rhapsody are finally correcting their mistakes releasing a spanking new update which will let users download music from its software onto iPods much like what the iTunes does. They are even planning a 50 Million ad campaign to assault their competitors. Whatever Rhapsody does, I’m sure Apple has the might to withstand it and pull out an even better marketing attempt which will highlight the strong points of the competitor but in the end bring it crashing down. Why do I have this feeling?

What’s up with Google these days? Why did they have to change an age-old favicon that was easily identifiable… I hate this new favicon. Its amateurish…

MP3 Audio Format has a new competitor - MT9 from Audizen, Korea. This time, it might actually be a very strong contender to usurp MP3’s dominance in the global audio listeners market. I went through Audizen’s Site with interest and if things are to be believed, mt9 takes music and lets you listen to only the portions that you want. That would do wonders for the karaoke market as well, which has been languishing in the sidelines since it came out.

Mobile Customizations are increasing by the day. I still remember the days when I had to pay real money to get a ringtone delivered to my mobile through a carrier. With the advent of bluetooth in computing devices and mobile phones, all you need to do is download a ringtone, send it via bluetooth from the laptop or PC to your mobile phones.

Arun Sarin, Vodafone’s CEO is stepping down from his post at Vodafone in grand style, announcing rock solid profits. He is leaving the telecom giant in July. Vodafone’s operating profit rose 5.7 per cent to £10.1bn, while revenue totaled £35.5bn, an increase of 14.1 per cent on the previous year.

Yes, I am serious. The Internet Explosion has had such a huge impact on mankind that the internet has started running out of IP addresses. Technically, IPV4 Addresses are the most commonly used Internet Protocol Addresses in use now. OECD’s latest report reveals that only 16% of available IP Addresses have remained unassigned or unused so far. By conservative estimates, we would run out that 16% in 2011. A new accepted standard called the IPV6 has also been developed. Logically, when we run out of IPv4 IP Addresses, we should have no problem adapting to the IPv6 Addresses right? Wrong!!
