Wishing all my readers and fellow Bloggers a “HAPPY DIWALI AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR”.As the entire America waits for the Holiday Season, my Holiday Season has already begun with Diwali.
I am eagerly awaiting some surprises from Apple. Hoping that they announce the Second Generation of MAC BOOK PROs soon.Eventhough, I was expecting them to announce it during this week as they are still a month away from Thanksgiving, the rumors sites are all predicting an announcement during late 2006, but with Apple you never know.
On Interesting notes, Microsoft released the Internet Explorer 7.0 for Windows XP. And guess what??, first security bug was found within 24 hrs of its release:D
Ironically though its caption says “We heard you : You wanted it easier and more secure”.
Also the reports claim that, this bug is already fixed in version of IE that ships with Windows Vista, so now does Microsoft wants users to Switch Operating systems just to get a secure browser?
And If I am talking about 2 biggies, I cannot forget the third one: Google.
Google was at campus last Thursday, and their presentation was really good. You can read more about it at Reshma`s blog. The best thing about working at Google,well.. Free Gourmet Meals 
shreyas, I liked the user interface IE7 offers and the features are quite good, even if they have adapted few from firefox there is no harm in giving them a second chance if they are trying to imrpove :).
My deafult browser is still firefox
and i dont plan to change it !
In fact i am waiting for firefox 2.0 !
Well.. Agreed that Microsoft hasn’t exactly been ‘original’ in their browser wars.. but regarding the security bug- I suppose you already know about the firefox vulnerability that surfaced a few days ago..

I guess bugs are just an inescapable part of large scale software development.. (sigh)
Btw, Hi.. This is Leon from EMC.. Came across this website while I was checking out NE.
So you have your own domain?! How did you manage that? Are you paying for it or does your university provide a hosting service? Just curious..
