Post from Android Phone

Well, Blogaway seems to be working fine. This is an app for the android phones which is basically a blogger client. I don't know when I will get an Android phone and start using my own application. :)

I wish all my friends out there, who blog quite a bit, get Android phones for themselves and then they can use my application, free of-course to blog and blog and blog.

It's quite a full fledged application, so you can do almost everything. :)

Enough boasting. Gud nite. CAT tomorrow. :(

Google - Conquer the World????

I shiver at the very thought. When I imagine this, although, it might not happen in the foreseeable future, still, it seems that it's not that far, and I can see it happening very soon. Soon enough, that frightens me.

We all know Google, since it's beginning, has been growing by leaps and bounds, (we should find a new word that describes such a kind of growth). Google is slowly penetrating every part of our lives. It's everywhere. And I guess, almost 80% of what we do on the Internet, is being recorded by the Google Servers. It's scary. It's like a big big directory of information on each and every person on the planet, dead or alive, why only people, they have records of each and every kind of organism that ever existed. Well, in a nutshell, all our data is distributed, and exists in the cloud.

All our mails, contacts, and more recently, Google has started saving our documents and pictures (with Docs, and Picassa), then they have our calendar, our notes, then our music playlists, our credit card numbers(Google Checkout), our addresses (needed when you sign in for Google Adsense or Checkout), all of our blogs, and what not. Now they have the Android phones with their OS running on it. So, all our phone calls and messages, can, practically be recorded by Google.

Google's motivation and ambition is to provide free and opens source technology to everyone. Well, for all these service Google earns a whooping sum, which I can't even imagine, through Ads. Well, if you think all this as a favorable ecosystem in which, with Google's technologies, our lives are getting better and better, it's a fairy tale, and we will only hope for the future to pass by us and present us the new world with Google's services.

I am sure, Google, has so much power now with it, that it could change the whole world. In George Orwell's, 1984, we see a world where the Big Brother has the only authority, and he changes the history, the past, the present and the future at will. Just because, he has all the resources of the planet, that he can manipulate. Imagine, if some day, Google really has this kind of power, I am sure, Google will really take over "Planet Earth". Afterall, power is what everyone wants.

I don't say that Google is aiming for it, but somewhere right in the Google's campus, there might be a psychopath, who dreams of conquering the whole world.

Last days in Chennai

:) So, finally, I would be leaving Chennai soon. After almost about 6 months, I have decided to move back to Bangalore. The last 6 months had been quite difficult for me. Apart from the heat, there were a hell lot of other reasons that made me feel all alone in this whole world. No direct flights to Bhubaneswar, my hostel was in the outskirts of the city, had to go at-least 1 km to get anything. Recently, my Manager told me that I was living in a place which doesn't come under Chennai. So, theoretically, for the past 6 months I have been staying in some small town adjacent to the metropolitan city, though, the local business thought otherwise, and have been overcharging me for everything. :@

Well, in just about 20 days, I will be leaving. My room mate is searching for a new partner. He was a good fellow. So were my colleague and my manager at office.
