WinVista family heritage...

All the way from QDOS in 1980 through all the Windows versions versions up to Windows Vista... See a nice schema of the various operating systems that led us to WinVista. [:)]

I must admit I did not use all of them... But still quite a lot! So much has happened in 25 years... I'm getting sentimental, so take a look for yourself:

Bloody Brothers-Karmacy

Guys, this rap song is worth a look. Take a look at http://www.karmacy.com/. "Bloody Brothers" is a Gujarati rap song (one of the major Indian languages). It is about two brothers, one living life in India and other living his life in America and being successful and comparing lives in different countries. I think it's excellent rap work and good video too. Direct links to the videos are as http://www.rukusavenue.com/BB_Web_sub_bug_large.wmv & http://www.rukusavenue.com/media/passage_mov_large.wmv .

As a Indian living overseas, I found the song touchy.

First Look: G-Tech G-Raid 800GB External HDD

The ever-expanding storage on hard drives has taken a new meaning for performance seekers and video professionals, thanks to G-Tech’s G-Raid 800GB External HDD. The company’s latest hard drive features two drives in a Raid 0 configuration for performance with a Firewire 800 (and Firewire 400 for backwards compatibility) connectivity option. According to G-Tech, the drive is designed for video professionals with a need to store gigabytes of video files. The company says its G-Raid drive supports multi-stream video playback with real-time effects on Final Cut Pro HD, Premiere Pro and other video editing software. Internally, the storage unit carries Hitachi 7,200 RPM drive with 8MB of onboard cache for optimal performance, or so says G-Tech.


Externally, the unit closely resembles the G5 design from Apple with a compact aluminum enclosure and a grayish color scheme. Furthermore, G-Tech has integrated a cooling fan in the casing to extend the life span of the disks. The Firewire ports and a power switch are situated at the back of the drive for a cleaner look on the front.

New Hotmail Screenshots

Some screenshots of the new Hotmail interface. It is supposed to have outlook like UI, drag and drop support, auto refresh like Gmail, keyboard shortcuts and 2 GB of storage space.

Looks good but it could be a bit late. I use Gmail now for most of my email and almost never check hotmail. Previously Hotmail was my primary email.

Welcome to my blog. Here I will introduce myself enough, my name is Munireddy & I am currently staying in BTM Layout, Bangalore. I am working as Network Administrator. I love to talk and hear about computers, security, internet and learn about new exciting tools and services. My thesis research at technology towards improving Internet. And I am Shiridi Sai Baba devote, I love Baba songs & Bajans.

I like talking about software tools, productivity, technology and how people can enhance their lives using technology. I am trying to dig a hole in the field of computer security (Information Systems Security, more to say) as well. I like to talk and discuss on religious and spiritual topics.

Other than blogging and reading other blogs, socialize with my friends and watch Telugu movies and listen to music (Telugu and English). Could go on but I think this much introduction would be enough for now.

I will be posting about variety of stuff here so I won’t be limiting myself to what I will post here on this Fantastic http://munireddy.blogspot.com/ blog. Hoping to make many more friends here.

Cheers,
Munireddy.K
