Looks Microsoft leaked some confidential documents related to windows 8 design and specification. After seeing these specification if really implemented we will be having completely new experience with the Windows 8. I am just putting some screenshots here and you can get all the details from original post.  Also windows 8 comes with IE 9, though the first beta of IE9 is going to be released in Aug 2010.

Microsoft launched Office 2010 with lot of new features to get back the users who are now using google docs. Some of the new features are looking good on paper not sure how efficiently they are implemented.
Some of the exciting new features:
– Editing photos in Word
– Using video in PowerPoint
– collaborating on documents and managing e-mail conversations in new ways. Moreover
– users can manipulate documents stored on remote servers from anywhere.
Of all the features the last one looks very good to me. Lets wait and see.

While current optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD-RAM rely on a red laser to read and write data, the new format uses a blue-violet laser instead, hence the name Blu-ray. Despite the different type of lasers used, Blu-ray products can easily be made backwards compatible with CDs and DVDs through the use of a BD/DVD/CD compatible optical pickup unit. The benefit of using a blue-violet laser (405nm) is that it has a shorter wavelength than a red laser (650nm), which makes it possible to focus the laser spot with even greater precision. This allows data to be packed more tightly and stored in less space, so it’s possible to fit more data on the disc even though it’s the same size as a CD/DVD. This together with the change of numerical aperture to 0.85 is what enables Blu-ray Discs to hold 25GB/50GB. Recent development by Pioneer has pushed the storage capacity to 500GB on a single disc by using 20 layers.

Blu-ray is currently supported by about 200 of the world’s leading consumer electronics, personal computer, recording media, video game and music companies. The format also has support from all Hollywood studios and countless smaller studios as a successor to today’s DVD format. Many studios have also announced that they will begin releasing new feature films on Blu-ray Disc day-and-date with DVD, as well as a continuous slate of catalog titles every month. For more information about Blu-ray movies, check out our Blu-ray movies and Blu-ray reviews section which offers information about new and upcoming Blu-ray releases, as well as what movies are currently available in the Blu-ray format.

You can find the blu-ray FAQs in the official site.

Last week I have installed Thunderbird 3.0 and found that its memory foot print is way high than its previous version. After digging I figured out that the reason for this high memory foot print is because of the new auto indexing and global search features packaged with thunderbird 3.0. I have disabled that option and found that the memory foot print used by Thunderbird 3.0 is same as its previous version.

I suggest you not to use this feature in Thunderbird 3.0 unless you have some other global search options like Google Desktop search. Actually I recommend all to use Google desktop search for any kind of search options on the disk. When you are installing Google desktop search application be careful and do not select any option which may give Google  your  personal information and search details.

Thunderbird 3.0 comes with a very nice and powerful global search functionality. For this when you fist start the thunderbird 3.0 after installation, it will try to index all the messages in your your inbox and folders, which will kill your machine and stop you from doing anything else on your machine. If you want to stop that and only want to run the indexer only when you are away from machine  then you can disable the indexing task by going to Tools-> Options..->Advanced-> Uncheck the box “Enable Global Search and Indexer”, which will stop the indexing and global search functionality. Note that once the complete initial indexing is done, you don’t have to disable this option as the thunderbird 3.0 just does the incremental indexing when ever there is a new mail.

Long wait if over and the new version looks great and works great. Few things I notices after I started working on this

1) The UI and tabbed interface is much better than what I have anticipated.
2) The feature like “Show in conversation” you get as part “other actions” in message body is pretty good and at least very useful form me.
3) Search is pretty good and it has an option to search with in the body of the message, for which now I depend on google desktop search. But the indexing task of existing mails literally killing my laptop as the memory used by Thunderbird reaching 200 MB and there is no option to pause or stop indexing
4)  One thing I didn’t like at all is there is no lightening add-on available for Thunderbird 3, now I am forced to use the nightly build. I really hate to use these nightly builds. But one good thing is the nightly build UI looks good and some how feel its faster than 0.9 version but takes too much memory, can’t blame its after all a development build.
5) Thunderbird 2.0 tags and filters still work in Thunderbird 3.0 and that’s a good new for me.
6) When indexing is running Thunderbird  3 is taking around 90 MB of main memory(RAM) which in my opinion is not good and hoping to see some fix in next releases.
7)Delete functionality still needs some improvements as I am still ending up with hung session when ever I try to delete more than 100 mails in single go.

One easy way of doing this is by connecting two PCs using a Ethernet Cross over cable. I got this cable for 35(1 meter in length) from a local computer hardware shop. After connecting the two PCs change the network connection settings as given below

In the properties of TCP/IP portal
For the first PC give IP details as 10.1.1.1 and sub-net as default 255.255.255.0
For the second PC give IP details as 10.1.1.2 and sub-net as default 255.255.255.0

Wait for couple of minutes then try to ping second machine “ping 10.1.1.2″, the ping should be successful.
