Microsoft Money 2006 realeased on   Wednesday, July 06, 2005

Microsoft releases Money 2006, but the trial is for US users, and not for others.  It seems, it will download the bank statements automatically, and moreover it has a support more banks worldwide. Just three months back only I started using Microsoft Money 2005, anyway Im not going to upgrade my Money 2005 to 2006, till I check it. I hope atleast this version of Money supports, the Stock Exachanges in India.

Nokia 6260 comes into my life!!!! on   Tuesday, July 05, 2005

After a long time, I bought a new mobile, Nokia 6260. It is loaded with Symbian OS v7.0s, Series 60(2nd Edition) Platform. Its really cool. Starting from GPRS, Camera, it has many features, and it supports Blue-Tooth Keyboard too. GSMArena.com reviewed the phone to a maximum possible extent, so I didn't feel like explaining it ;)

Google Earth on   Wednesday, June 29, 2005

After a month, MSN announced its Virtual Earth, the search engine giant released its own version called, Google Earth ( beta ), which is a advancement of Google 's Mapping (KEYHOLE), which allow users to search for a location to get an aerial view of that place.

Google Earth Loading image

Like MSN Virtual Earth, Google also offers many features like satellite view,..... It lists Banks/ATMs, Schools, Movie Rentals, Hospitals, Churches, Restaurant, Airports etc., Its a 100% GIS Application, but the images will not be a map, but it will be of Aerial & 3D view. I clicked, Hard Times, a movie rental Shoppe, and it showed the address.

  Google Earth, SnapShot

Like we bookmark web pages in a browser, we can also bookmark a place. And if you search for a address, it will find the area exactly, and shows the image with the Latitude & Longitude points. Like GIS applications, they split the area with the same Layer concept. For e.g.., I selected Shopping centers in the layer, in few seconds, it showed many shopping centers with a $ symbol. Likewise I tried lodging & banks.

Google Earth, SnapShot

It comes in 4 editions, but as of now, the free one is not available for download. And if you are that much interested, then go for Google Earth Pro Trial, which is available for download.

Edition Pricing in $ (Annually)

Yahoo closed a part of its Chat room service, where users can create their own rooms and will be displayed in the User Rooms section. And when you are entering into user-created rooms column, it warns that "the topics found here may be offensive ..." and if you agree only, it will allow you inside.

Yahoo Chat Warning : While we are trying to get into Yahoo User created rooms...

The problem started off is due to, KPRC-TV in Houston reported that the service was absued by people, means countless men tried to display pornography with children... 

That may be true, but what will happen to other Non-Sex content, useful rooms??? There were tons of room plying daily, and users get help like advise... Even I have given and I have got advise too....  I hope yahoo will change its stance towards this issue. They can put a word filter, etc., to handle the situation.....
