HP Wireless Printers Give Away in India

Blogging has been the one single thing that has changed the face of the internet and made it what it is today. With the start of blogging, internet really became a democratic place, where anyone has the freedom to write and share his/her thoughts with the world.

Making a new blog is what a person dreams of when it comes to social networking. But what hinders the path is the thought of Designing, Maintaining & Contributing to the blog. In the busy lives of today, very few people have time dedicated to blogging. Today, I want to share with you, how can you make a blog of your own, and that too, without designing, subscribing or even registering for anything!

And, the magic wand is Posterous. With this service, you don't have to worry about:

Designing
Implementing
Maintenance

The two steps to be followed to create a full fledged blog are:

Email anything to post@posterous.com (you can attach photo/video/mp3 files along)
You'll get an instant reply with your new blog address.

Now, is there anything (with that I really mean, anything) much simpler to do on the whole internet? Having a blog of your own without even a registration hindrance? To my knowledge there is nothing like it. You can update your blog on the fly from your computer or even from your cell phone. You have upto 1 GB personal space on Posterous.

Have a great idea? Just mail it to your posterous mail and it will be published.

About HP Photosmart Wireless Printer

The great thing about a Photosmart Wireless Printer is that you can look up your photos online with the Printer’s LCD display. The pictures appear as thumbnails and you can select the one you want printed by touch screen.

If you need directions get on Google Maps with Photosmart and get printout of the map with directions using only the LCD display of the Printer. Another great feature of Photosmart is that there is no need to worry about printer settings while taking printouts. You can log on to wireless networks using Snapfish.

Below is a video about how easy it is to use HP Photosmart Printer

Turn Android users into robots with Gmail

Posted: 19 Nov 2009 02:24 AM PST

I must give credit to Google for the quirky additions they make to their layouts and features which often keep changing the way we perceive Google. The latest quirk by Google is that when you are using Android phones and have the chat box open on your phone you might show up as a robot to other users on Gmail.

Green Robot on Gmail

This feature when activated on Gmail, will show up a Android phone user as a green robot instead of the regular green dot. You can also add this feature on your Gmail account through the Labs section.

Click on Settings while you are on Gmail and then go to Labs.
In Labs you need to enable a feature by the name “Green Robot!” as shown in image below.

From then on your Gmail will show your friends who are logged-in with an Android phone as green robots.

This is just one of the quirky additions that Google makes to its regular products. Sometimes I wonder if such quirks are gimmicks to create a buzz or just a stage for their developers to push the envelope. All things said and done I feel Google is really good at giving itself that geeky image time and again.

What do you think about it? Let me know with your comments.
