Its hard to justify a mac book purchase
i recently got a mac book, and i am loving it but still i can’t recommend this to any one at least in India.
Price for a mac book with 2ghz and 2 Gb mac comes to 75000 Rs in India and this is thier cheapest model.
Lets just see what else can you get for that kind of money.
You can get a Hp AU2009 tablet pc. With same configuration and a bigger hard drive for 45000 Rs. You can get a Hp touch smart pc. Or any of the top brands and their best model out in the market don’t cost half as much as a apple mac book.
So its hard to recommend it to anyone. Even once you get the laptop expect to spend some more money for programs because most of the useful apps for a mac are paid one. There are very few free alternatives.
So if you are getting a laptop or a desktop go for any thing other than a mac book. But if you have the money to spend then mac book could be a good idea.
Create cool polaroid effect with css and java
Just using css and java make all you photos look like polaroids.
You can even rotate the polaroid so that it feels like its tossed on to a table.
Very nice effect.
Ferrari’s new F60 has a weird wing still looks cool
Ferrari recently launched their 2009 formula 1 racing car. The biggest visible change is the new smaller rear wing. Compared to previous yeas car it looks really weird. But hope it make up for that with speed.
Would like to see how fast this is compared to last years car. Also would be interesting to see how the competition responds.
Will make for an interesting 2009 season of formula one racing.

Is Steve Jobs that improtant to Apple?
Unless you were under a rock, you would have heard everything about Steve’s health issues and his 6 month medical leave etc.
But the real question is…
Is Steve Jobs that important to Apple.
For all the reports i have seen of the few days about his replacement it looks like Tim cook is the one who’s really making all of it work and Steve was a just a good show man.
Most of the design is done by Jonathan Ive, video of him talking about the aluminum mac book was anything to go by he looks like the only guy who could design such stuff with out any input from others.
Then the question is what is Steve’s roll in all this. Is he there to make sure no buttons are put on it or to make sure you don’t get cut and paste, Or make it a carrier locked phone etc. And i could go on and on.
Because if you think of it all these things don’t make any business sense. If it was up to Tim Cook he would have gone with iphone as a open device and not locked to one carrier. It makes a lot of business sense to do that. They could have sold twice as many as now. Can you imagine an ipod that could play only one music labels songs.
So could Steve Jobs leaving apple improve it from where it is right now?
I think so, Music industry will be more than willing to make deals with Apple without Steve Jobs, same goes for movie industry or any other partners for that matter.
I am not saying Steve Jobs doesn’t bring anything to the table, but for what he does bring there is far more baggage attached with it.

Ghajini hindi version is breaking all kinds of records
Amir Khans new movie Ghajini is breaking all kind of records. Its earned as much as 200 crore.
The tamil version of the movie was not such a big hit, it was a hit but not to the extent the hindi version is. So who is the reason for hindi movie sucess, the director or the actor.
Because the same guy directed the two movies, it has to be actor Amir Khan who is making the difference this time.
Ghajini’ producer presents gold statuette to Aamir Khan, which reportedly cost the producer close to Rs.7-8 million. Director A.R. Murugadoss was given a statue too.

Apple opens up the app store
The one complaint everybody had about App store was that they would not allow third party apps that compete with its own apps.
But that changed today because they have allowed other web browser apps on to the app store. So how long will it take for Microsoft, Opera and Firefox to come to the app store.
Hope quite soon, this would encourage apple to innovate on their own apps which have not seen any major changes through all the 11 firmware updates that it has put out for iPhone.
The image on the right is of the new app called edge browser. which is a free app that will allow you to see one site in full screen no address bars or navigation. I have put my mobile rss page for quick access. You to can use this page by going to www.prasanthblog.com/iphone/ (its a page with rss feeds of major sites formatted into iphone format)
Let see what more apps apple will approve.
Flash game with some really cool graphics
I have not played many flash games recently.
But gave this game a try and it has some wonderful graphics, i didn’t think flash was capable of doing such graphics.
The game is a clone of diner dash type of game play.
Palm Pre demo at CES 2009
The whole UI is based in html css and java. So it will be easier for developers to make programs. And from the demo it looks as easy and fun to use as an iphone.
As promised Palm have delivered a beautiful device with even more beautiful operating system and ui. I am impressed, if they price it reasonably I would be willing to give it a try. Watch the Palm Pre UI demo videos from CES 2009.
