a noble effort

current affairs, tech,

ReactOS team has a noble cause at hand – liberating the world from Windows.

Sort of relief for the guys who are tired of windows, but still dependent on a plethora of applications that are only available on Windows.

ReactOS invested dozens of years in creating the basic framework. I really hope getting something better in store for me pretty soon, because I badly want to throw current computer OS of mine (a windows version, doesn’t matter which one: they all SUCK) into dustbin if a working alternative is available.

Initial screen-shots after running it over my Virtual Box:

Desktop


Control Panel


Their screenshots look more promising, so I need to tests a few complex windows applications on this OS and share the results. keep watching this space.

twitter ke side effects

current affairs, politics, society, web, , , ,

Shashi Tharoor is known as a high profile diplomat, having an international image. But the Indian political ecosystem has proved it again: does not matter who you are, you need to have the art of permutation, articulation, negotiation, and a false display of innocence in order to stay in groove and to prosper (Did you say Lalu?).

It now turns out he is not a match for the Indian politics. His irritating (read twitting and lately, romancing) habits have added more salt to the injury.

An unexpected and unanticipated neighbor has surprisingly thrusted his very own dish at his table, when Lalit Modi disclosed Sunanda episode through twitter.

Is twitter finally going to take its toll on the poor minister? Only time will tell, but odds are high.
