Skype. It is the best for video calling.

Went to take part in the TCS IT-Wiz competition today, the questions were of top level. Too bad I didn't stand a chance.

Is Iphone available in India? The last time I checked was in November and it wasn't released yet though it was planned to be released in November. I think it's better to just wait for Iphone 5 which is rumored to release this year.

 

[Cricketman]

Yep, always see them at the iStore. They didn't have the 4 when I was there though (July/August) but the 3GS was available. I wouldn't wait for the 5, you guys are looking at a good 1 - 1.5 year wait i think.

iPhone 3GS is available in India (my mom bought one a few months ago).

The iPhone is released roughly every year (June 07, July 08, June 09, June 10). Going by that trend, it is plausible that the next iPhone may launch in about 5 months. It's not like Apple hit the ball out of the park with the iPhone 4. Can't confirm, however, whether it is a major overhaul or just a few hardware upgrades (faster processor, more memory, etc.) like it was from 3G -> 3GS.

I think that's a firefox feature. I use chrome and that extension as well

Ok so first day back in a classroom environment after 3 + years and I realized something, I can't hand write anymore! I haven't written more than a few pages worth at a time and not quickly at all these last few years. Hands cramped up like a grandpa in class.

Anyhow, I'm going to Best Buy after class tomorrow and going get the cheapest notebook they have, I need something small enough to fit in my backpack (which is not a fat one), can run Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer.

Not asking much, any suggestions? or anything to look out for? I literally only need this to type lecture notes, that's it.

 

[Chewie]

Ew internet explorer. The problem with small notebooks/net books is that they have tiny keyboards for writing on and can be rather uncomfortable

 

[pcfan123]

Not a problem for me, I can easily type 60+ wpm (many errors easy to spell check later) and on my old work laptop.

Either way I'm not hand writing notes, I fall behind too much

 

[Varun]

I can type 50 WPM on my current keyboard. I would actually interested to see how much the speed is for other people.

 

[Chewie]

Mines up near 100. Where can you test it?

 

[Varun]

I did it here.

It came out to be exactly 50 WPM.

 

[Chewie]

I got an adjusted speed of 86 wpm there. I've gotten higher before but I suppose not consistently.

 

[Varun]

That is fast. Really fast.

Tried again on a different passage, and got 102-4 = 98 lol
