Google has launched the new Google Reader exclusively for the iPhone users. It is a web-based Atom and RSS feeds reader which works both online and offline. It works like a desktop where the reader can select an item to read from the list, star it, share it and read the unread without refreshing the page. Moreover, it also automatically checks all your personal selection of news websites and blogs for new content, amalgamating new entries within its web-based interface. You can use it by visiting http://www.google.com/reader/i/ on your phone. For the first time, XHTML version of Google Readers was launched in 2006, since then it has been one of the popular feed readers on internet. This new beta version for the iPhone helps in easy navigation as you can navigate through folders and subscriptions in a single column. The mobile friendly view is coming with faster load times too, because it has been further optimized for the cell phone environment and when you click on any individual item in the list, then it loads in place rather than taking you away to a new screen.

Millions of websites including my blog abhisays.com also, publish feeds with their latest updates, and the integrated feed search of Google Reader makes it very easy to find new content that is interesting for you. Whenever you favorite site is updated, it may be hourly, daily or monthly but with Google Reader, you can be sure that you won’t miss a thing.

Are you surprised to reader the title of this post ? Then I would like to tell you, it is truth. Shahrukh is really licking Aamir Khan’s feet. But you will now ask me, How I came to know this secret news. Actually I read about this incident on Aamir Khan’s blog. Shahrukh is the name of Aamir’s pet dog. Now Indian film stars are using their blogs to comment on their rivals in Bollywood. A week before, Amitabh Bachchan wrote some hot comments on Shahrukh Khan and Shatrughan Sinha in his blog and now Aamir Khan is trying to make fun of India’s no. 1 film star. In this way, Bollywood actors (bloggers) are producing perfect recipes for media and blogger like me to munch upon. This paragraph is taken from Aamir’s blog in which he is discussing about his pet dog Shahrukh.

I’m sitting under a tree, on the edge of a valley, approximately 5000 feet above sea level. The river Krishna flows far below us snaking its way among the Sahyadri mountains. A cool breeze is blowing, jannat ki hawa (breeze from the heavens), as my mother calls it. Ammi, Ira and Junaid are by my side and we are in the middle of one of our favourite board games ‘Settlers Of Catan’. Shahrukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?

Now, before you jump to any conclusions let me add that Shahrukh is the name of our dog. And before you jump to any further conclusions let me add that I had nothing to do with naming him. In fact Shahrukh is the dog of the caretakers of our house. When I bought this house it came with the caretakers and their dog! Apparently Shahrukh (the actor) was shooting for a commercial in this house a few years ago, and that very day the caretakers bought a pup…, and named him Shahrukh. What are the chances of me buying a house which comes with a dog called Shahrukh!!! Some of my friends claim that I bought the house because of the dog. I would have to be a serious fan of Shah Rukh’s to want to do that. All I can say is that I’m waiting for him to come over,”

Before completing the article Aamir say “Well Shah Rukh is once again begging for my attention, so let me get back to him. He is smelling too much, I think he needs a bath. “Heel boy, heel.”

Today Shah Rukh said “I have never bothered about it because I also say a lot of things in fun and I think I am also may be stressing somebody else out. I don’t get stressed when friends pass comments like this. Actually I enjoyed it,” I think these are some of the perfect comments from Shahrukh. But there is no doubt that this will create a cold war between the two most popular Bollywood actors.
So dear readers what do you feel about this type of blogging. What is your opinion about Aamir ? Post your comments.

In this last decade there has been significant growth of mobile users in India. Do you know what is the total number of mobile users in India ? Currently there are about 201.29 million mobile phone users in India. So there is no doubt that mobile market in India is growing at a faster rate as compared to growth of number of internet users. After watching and analyzing the speed with which the mobile market is rapidly increasing as compared to the internet market, US Internet giant AOL has launched free SMS service in India. With the help of this service Indian AOL users can now send free instant messages and SMS to mobile phones in India from the AOL Mail or AOL Messenger service, they can also respond to those messages instantly through their mobile. Most of the mobile service providers like Airtel, Aircel, Vodafone, Spice and MTNL are supporting this new feature of AOL.

Now Indian AOL users will be able to interact with a mobile phone using their computers or laptops. Isn’t it great ? You can now send SMS and instant messages free to mobile phones from AOL Messenger or AOL Mail. Many people think that Yahoo was the first company to launch chat messenger. But this is not correct. Actually, AOL was the first Internet company in the world which started Instant Messenger services known as AIM. Today, AOL has about 67 million users for its messenger service.

If you are webmaster or owner of the website or blog then you must aware of the importance of web-hosting. For any website or blog, web hosting is very critical. Therefore before choosing a web host webmasters prefer to find out all the informations, reviews, offers, uptime, customer help service and customer’s experience about the web host. Last my friend asked me about a good website where he can read reviews and comments on all the top web hosting companies of the world. Then I suggested him WebHostingGeeks.com. It is a very old and reliable PR7 web site which is completely dedicated to providing real and unbiased reviews of major web hosting companies. If you are interested in web hosting companies or in search of a good web hosting for you website or blog then I will strongly recommend you to read the reviews on this website before purchasing the hosting plan. All the major web hosting providers are rated on features like space, traffic, price, bandwidth etc.

For websites, a web host is like oxygen, without this there is no existence as complete internet business is depended on web hosts. If something goes wrong with web hosts or downtime occurs, it completely screws up the traffic and ranking of website. This will finally cause loss in profit for the website. Let’s take a small example. Suppose you searched some website in google and clicked the link and the site is down at that time. Tell you, will you ever visit then website again ? Yeah I know, your answer will be NO. So before choosing any web host, on WebHostingGeeks find all the details you ever wanted to know about that web hosting provider.

It has the web hosting reviews about all the major hosting giants like Godaddy, Doteasy, Bluehost, HostGator etc. All the reviews are completely unbiased. They have many different types of reviews available such as: Best Budget Hosting, Hosting that comes with free domain names, and more. They have also many web hosting articles on webmaster tips, web site promotion and the best Pay-Per-Click program to use etc. So webmasters, bloggers and my dear readers, whenever you are thinking to start a website or a blog then before buying any hosting plan, never forget to read their reviews on WebHostingGeeks.

Yesterday I read in BBC website about a free satellite television “Freesat” which has been launched by BBC and ITV. It will have 80 digital TV and radio channels. BBC has plans to increase the number of channels to 200 by the end of 2008. The service is completely free, only the users will have to pay for the hardware which includes dish, set top box and minimal installation fees. There is no concept of monthly subscription in this completely free service. According to BBC, you have to invest around £ 150-200 to purchase its hardware. Almost all the BBC’s digital channels, including BBC HD, will now be available in Freesat. BBC and ITV are hoping that this service would also increase the interest of people in high definition television.

On Freesat, the users will have big choice of channels like entertainment, news, sports, movies, cartoons, health, and business. Moreover, there will be up to five times better picture quality supported with amazing audio and sound performance. Due to these lucrative offers, there is now a shortage of freesat HD boxes in UK shops. I am wondering when such services will be launched in India. If you have any answer or opinion then please post your valuable comments.

Have you heard about PowerSet ? Hold on, I am not talking about concepts of set theory. Actually, PowerSet is a San Francisco based search engine company who is developing a natural language search engine which will compete with Google, Live, AltaVista and Yahoo. That search engine will answer the query of user’s questions. At present all the search engines are based on keywords. According to PowerSet, question search is a better way to search. So finally they have launched a new search engine as today, the company has announced the release of this search engine but at present this search engine is only searching Wikipedia. For this Powerset has created an index of Wikipedia by studying the meaning of entire sentences rather than the relationship between words. Now the user will have to type the complete question to get the complete answer from the search result.

Let us take an example, search “when India got Independence” on both search engines, PowerSet and Google and now compare the results. The picture is clear Powerset has come up with best possible search result. Now it is quite clear that Google is not number 1 Search Engine for Wikipedia.

Search Results by PowerSet.

Search Results by Google.

But PowerSet has a big journey ahead, it is very difficult to implement this search technique to millions of websites of world. But this is not a point of discussion, the moral of the story is that all the Wikipedia lovers including me have got a powerful search tools to read the relevant content on this great encyclopedia. Thanks PowerSet !!!

The present Chairman of the Tata Group, Ratan Tata is now in the list of 73 biggest brains in business for his innovation of 1 lakh rupee Nano car. A US business magazine Conde Nast Portfolio, has published the list of 73 biggest brains of business. Other important business tycoons in this list are Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, Warren Buffet, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. According to the magazine Ratan Tata believes that the future of the auto industry lies in the hands of people who don’t yet drive. Through this innovation and new idea Tata Motors has inspired other Auto companies. For example, Nissan-Renault is going to launch $ 3k car with the help of India’s Bajaj Auto.

“Brilliance comes in many forms, whether it is founding a startup that kicks sand in Microsoft’s face or creating an affordable car for the developing world. A small number of innovators influence the rest of the influencers in business,” Conde Nast Portfolio.

Ratan Tata became a global business leader when Tata acquired Corus Group and as a result of this merger, Tata Steel became the fifth largest steel producing company in the world.

Launching a 1 lakh rupee car was his old dream which he realized in January, 2008 when three models of the Tata Nano were announced. Ratan Tata delivered on his commitment to developing a car costing only 1 lakh rupee. He always says “a promise is a promise,” and he has done what he promised to those people of India who have never driven a car. Kudos to him for being one of the biggest brains of World business.

Now from today, 100rupees.com is no more on internet. I have set permanent redirection of 100rupees to my blog abhisays.com. Now I am concentrating only on my blog. Since 100rupees.com was related to movies and entertainment so I will try to publish some articles on abhisays related to movies and glamor world. In this regard, I have started a series on Indian actresses. This article is first part of a series of articles on Indian actresses. We live in a male dominated society. So Indian film industry is not its exception. Even in Hindi movies, actresses get less footage, less challenging roles and less money as compared to the co-actors but there are some female stars who have made their position and status in Hindi cinema which is comparable to their contemporary actors. This series is dedicated to those Indian actresses. I have divided the whole series into 7 parts which will cover all the popular Indian actresses right from 1950 to 2008. Writing on such a vast topic is not an easy task, thus this series will take a period of around 1 month to complete. Bollywood is heart of Indian cinema. Every year it produces hundreds of quality Hindi movies. After Hollywood, it is the largest film producer in the world. So it is very difficult to keep the track of all the Bollywood actresses but I have tried my level best to select some actresses from the huge list. So let’s start the journey and cover the period of 1950-1960. This period is known as the golden era of Indian Cinema. Movies like Pyaasa, CID, Kagaz ke Phool, Awara, Mera Naam Joker, Mother India, Shree 420, Do Beegha Zamin marked the beginning of modern Cinema in India. The top ten most beautiful Indian actresses in this period are –

Today I read a wonderful article on how to become a CEO. Here I found 10 golden rules which can help you to become a CEO. Due to growing Indian economy, businesses have become very complex. It has become more challenging for CEOs to make right decisions and manage their employees. The job of a CEO is very difficult that’s why they get handsome salaries and big perks. The important thing, the article pointed in all CEOs is the behavior and ability to tackle crunch situations in a company. If you want to become a CEO, than you should behave like a CEO. Those 10 rules are ..

• Emotional competence- Emotional competency is very essential. If you are not emotionally stable then you can’t run a big company.
• Listening habits - Always try to listen others and speak only when required.
• Rule 30-15 - Come 30 minutes earlier than your boss and leave after 15 minutes after your boss has left.
• Never write any mail with high emotions.
• Try to make your boss happy and tension free, always.
• Always behave like a friend to your subordinates.
• Always try to convey your honest opinions. While speaking to your boss, don’t speak what they want to listen, speak what you want to say.

Indian telecom giant Tata Indicom has announced launch of new, stylish Walky Talky cordless phones. There will be different post paid and pre-paid plans for its fixed wireless phone connection. The price of set will be only 1299 rupees. The set is based on WLL technology with CDMA back-end and can be used anywhere in the city in which the connection has been taken and hence it also offers limited mobility to the user within that city itself. In large cities, each connection has an eight digit phone number and in smaller places it has a seven digit number as opposed to the ten digits for a mobile connection. With this launch, Tata Indicom is expecting rise in its market share in telecom sector.

Internet giant Yahoo has launched a new search engine concept called “Glue Beta pages” in India. Now India has become the first country where Glue Pages Beta is launched. According to Yahoo, they have chosen India as it is a very strategic market for Yahoo as India is shifting to innovation, especially local innovation. Glue Pages Beta tries to integrate almost every best information from across the internet on a single search result page. It is currently working for only certain categories of searches like sports, travel, entertainment, health, stocks, and tech. The concept uses intuitive search technology to identify the most relevant search queries. Yahoo has plans to shift Yahoo Glue the U.S. in this summer. At present, Glue Pages Beta results are displayed alongside the usual Yahoo!India search results. However loading of search results is taking quite longer time, so this may be proved to be an issue for Yahoo Glue.

It is really exciting to use this new search engine. Let’s take an example. If you search for “India”, then you will get not only the normal search results but also latest news from India, flickr snaps, maps of India and links of related pages. If you search for “Aishwarya” her YouTube videos, news, images from world wide web. When you search for “Cricket”, you will latest scores and wikipedia link for cricket also. If you are not aware of Yahoo’s new innovation, then you must check out this, right now.

Recently one of my friends returned from onsite, he brought so many things from there. He also brought bottles of BOSS fragrances. He gifted me one Boss Soul bottle. Now the bottle is over, and I am thinking of buying a new one for me. I could find BOSS on the internet, it is a exclusive online store that sells all Boss fragrances. BOSS fragrances represent the essence of BOSS Hugo BOSS fashion: Confidence, Power, Masculinity. Personal and professional goals achieved with easy self confidence.

Let me tell more about the bottle that holds BOSS Selection. It is a masculine and solid square glass structure, which is transparent to show its ingredients of contrast. It is created by Lutz Hermann, who has more than 12 years experience in the field of design. The clean, elegant lines of the bottle leave a strong mark on our minds. Similarly the carton is a clean, rectangular box that incorporates a key BOSS Selection feature - a black frame and bar that slickly runs around the grey metallic packaging.

If you are a big fan of this perfume then this website is the best place on internet for buying your fragrance.
