Chessing - A new passion
Well, I have taken up to chess as a newly found passion these days (for the past one month) and am studying various techniques.
Chess has become my passion, probably forever, as I did not find any other for the past few years. (And ofcourse, I can now throw some words like Sicilian Defence, Kings Indian Attack, Queen's Gambit etc... to dazzle acquaintances :)).
Chess might interest any of you as well, if it is not of interest already. Please check http://chess.about.com/.

Djinn, Demons & Afrits!!!
Well, I am diversifying a little here from my original technological babble that you usually see. I am so 'into' this now that i could not resist writing a small note to the people who drop-by here.
I was reading a new fiction these days by Jonathan Stroud called 'The Bartemieus Trilogy' and got hooked to it. See the title once again and the subject strikes like a lightning. Yes, it is about those and magicians. Not anything like Harry Potter, though (I am sure this bit would help a lot of folks who despise Harry Potter books).
I, specifically, liked the wit and the plot that makes the book unputdownable. Wit is very subtle and enjoyable. Look for 'Amulet of Samarkand' to start with which is the first in the series.

Google Android
Is this a robot that behaves like human? hardly...
Android was built from the ground-up to enable developers to create compelling mobile applications that take full advantage of all a handset has to offer. It is built to be truly open.
Certainly the news of Google Android release created a lot of hype, but will it sustain? Google Android is a Linux-based mobile software stack incorporating everything from os to apps.
To attract developers to Android, Google has launched a $10m (£5m) competition to find applications that can be run on the various handsets that will use the platform.
We just have to wait and see how Andriod turns out to the mobile users!

Product testing in single day?
Can a product be certified and released within 1-day of automated testing?
This is a goal Google Test Engineering group is talking about setting for themselves. Patrick Copeland, Test Engineering Director at Google, talks about testing at Google in his keynote address at GTAC 2007 (Google Test Automation Conference).
Every Software Engineer (and Test Engineer) should watch the video of this talk.
