Happy All Fool's Day folks! II

I did not expect to see a second posting on the same day, nor would have most of you. If you think its normal, then you don't know me! :)

You never know who's kidding today and who's not!

Here's what I found on Apple's site:

Small talk.

The new iPod shuffle. The first music player that talks to you.

So little. And yet so much.

The new iPod shuffle is jaw-droppingly small. It’s half the size of the previous generation. Yet there’s room for so much more. With 4GB of storage, it now holds up to 1,000 songs,1 and lets you enjoy multiple playlists, too. Learn more

It speaks for itself.

Introducing VoiceOver,2 the feature that gives iPod shuffle a voice. With the press of a button, it tells you what song is playing and who’s performing it. It can even tell you the names of your playlists, giving you a new way to navigate your music. Learn more

This will be the last of me finding or at least posting potential all fool's day tricks! :)

Happy All Fool's Day folks!

Hello All,

There has been a classic Google googly coming out at us all over the past few years on this day, this year not being much different I hope.

This morning when I opened up what millions other on this planet do too, I find this interesting link, that is perhaps laid there to be barely noticeable kinds:

Introducing CADIE: a singular upgrade to your online life. 


Right under the search box of http://www.google.com/ - am not sure if other country specific ones carry it as well...

Give it a go, but I would strongly advise people from going to the blogger pages and stay only on the google ones. The blogger one did try to run some ActiveX content, but its better you don't... There has been a lot of malicious attacks planned out for this day, so look out for all suspicious links, attachments and content.

Stay Safe! :)

P.S.: I see a new button on my GMail interface that lets me type in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and I think Malayalam!!
