<p>Had to help Dad reactivate his online trading account with PIPIP bank&#8230;.boy oh boy&#8230;first we had received an activation process by snail mail. The instructions were not clear on how to reactivate, there was only activation info. Used the password in that reactivation process and logged in&#8230;it worked&#8230;grrrrr&#8230;<br />
Then had to fill in rest of the info provided in the activation sheet&#8230;again there was no mention whether it was activation or reactivation.<br />
On submission there was a link to login again without logging me out..how did that happen?<br />
After I logged in&#8230;.again there was no info whether my reactivation was successful or not!<br />
Seriously who build such interfaces which is not humanized and keep you anxious throughout the process.<br />
And don&#8217;t even get me started on the multi Browser compatibility&#8230;Come on this is 2010 <img src='http://www.kshipra.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Talk about virtual keyboard..yeah they are secure but Imagine i strained my eyes to get a look at the keys&#8230;.imagine my Dad would have to Zoom-in and click on them <img src='http://www.kshipra.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Phew&#8230;.I just logged in after an hour later to check and found the profile active.<br />
Even after all this frustration if they hadn&#8217;t activated the account&#8230;I would have just closed that account for Dad <img src='http://www.kshipra.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Checking out the experience of blogging through the iTouch (3G). I seem to be clumsy at first then realize the auto words that help correct the words so that I type faster.(have fat fingers!)<br />
Better than most Android keypads so far.<br />
Love the copy-paste feature.<br />
Still not happy the way image selection happens.<br />
Only wish they had the camera with the iTouch then I could completely use the augmented apps.<br />
Bonsai Blast(all levels) is available for free in Android but I love the image rendering in Apple.<br />
Downloaded lot of free apps and Games.<br />
Facebook is not yet compatible with iTouch and I still can&#8217;t seem to sign into  skype on it.</p>

<p>Always thought the apple products were &#8220;over-rated&#8221;, &#8220;over-priced&#8221; &amp; &#8220;exaggerated&#8221;&#8230;.but not until i got not one but 2 products of my own!</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t get the iPhone but got the iTouch instead. Registered for the App Store &amp; totally freaked out on the apps i downloaded. Surprisingly there some available for Bhajans&#8230;.downloaded them and Grandma liked them!</p>
<p>Aww this is addictive&#8230;..a bite of the apple is pure temptation&#8230;.i can&#8217;t seem to get enough of the games developed by other 3rd party developers.</p>
<p>The stuff which differentiates the iTouch with my Android Tattoo is: i can download Full Free versions of the same apps (including games). Is this till Android gains a ground in the Smartphone market?</p>

<p><strong>AIR </strong>stands for, the <strong>Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR)</strong> and is one of the latest interesting development from Adobe.</p>
<p><strong>AIR </strong>runs on Windows, Mac OS X and a very usable Beta version for Linux. It installs the first time you download and run an <strong>AIR </strong>application, much in the same way that Flash is installed on a computer if the user visits a web site using Flash and they don’t already have it installed.</p>
<p><strong>AIR </strong>applications run on the desktop and are half way between web based applications (which run in a browser) and full blown desktop applications such as Word or Photoshop.</p>
<p>Developers can create AIR applications using the HTML, CSS, Javascript, Flash, Flex (A flash framework) and PDF knowledge they already have and <strong>AIR</strong> acts as a wrapper that allows them to run on the desktop and go beyond the limitations they would normally have if they were running in a web browser.</p>
<p><strong>AIR </strong>applications differ from current web applications because AIR applications do not run in your web browser and therefore are able to use desktop features such as full drag and drop between applications, save files to the local hard drive or network and store data locally in a database.</p>
<p>When compared to traditional desktop applications, AIR applications are simple to deploy, easy and cost-effective to build, have better web integration and will run on all three of the major operating systems.</p>
<p><strong>AIR</strong> is also smart enought to know when it is and isn&#8217;t connected so you can create programmes that work with online data and use the local database as a fallback if the connection to the internet is dropped.</p>

<p>Have you started with a hotmail account, a yahoo one later then rediff to rediffmail and next one to gmail?<br />
So do you keep the same passwords for all of them? if not how would you remember?</p>
<p>How about facebook, flickr, technorati/delicious &amp; linkedin accounts and many more?? Do you keep the same login? what if the name was already taken (suppose in delicious) and you have to change the login&#8230;.how would you remember?</p>
<p>If there was an online application (i tried googling &amp; googling) would you trust it to save such sensitive information?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you save your password and your home PC/laptop but i&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll need to backup somewhere else right?</p>
<p>where would you save it?</p>

<p>I believe i have the average height of an average Indian female. Now, standing inside a bus, can be pretty painful if your hand just reaches when you need to hold and you got to painfully stretch your hand and stand!</p>
<p>I shifted from my 2-wheeler to opt for the comfy ride of the <a title="BMTC Volvo Info" href="http://www.bmtcinfo.com/english/volvo.htm" target="_blank">Volvo</a> from work to home, (also due to stress &amp; hyper-tension caused by the honkers and the undisciplined traffic!) but Bravo! to the traffic cops and volunteers, they are doing  us a big favor by managing the ever-growing mammoth traffic in Bangalore.</p>
