I’ve blogged about Open Office as a very attractive alternative to MS Office and usually recommend it to friends who don’t have MS Office to use at home. Now there is even a light version! Download a light version of Open Office suite, called Go-OO, if you don’t have MS Office or need it on an extra computer. Perfect for spare or student laptops.

Barack Obama has done it! He’s made history by being elected the first ever african american president of the US of A. Many people didn’t believe it could happen yet. Many still can’t believe it. I haven’t been blogging much, but wanted to record this history making event, even if I am a day late in recording it.

Google in 1998

Image via Wikipedia

Google’s 10th Anniversary magic: Happy anniversary Google! Take a walk in the memory lane - literally - experience what Google search looked and worked like in 2001. Incidentally, the image on the right is of Google in 1998 (from Wikipedia). Not only is this a look at the look and feel of Google way back when, even the index is old. This brings back memories. I did some searches and felt all nostalgic and teary eyed: what can I say, I’ve been a sucker for tech industry and the evolution of the web for a while now. Google has been a darling company for a lot of web users ever since it took the Internet by storm way back when. Hats off to a giant in the virtual and real world. Google stock is bouncing back slowly but surely after the stock market shocker on Monday.

Try it out the Google of 2001 yourself.
