Hurrah! Google Engineers just listens us

Hello Guys, I am quite Happy today, as after when I poked Google stating that I hate Google! - Beta! Beta! Bugs too! they started working hard than before, I am not sure if any of the Google Engineer just dropped at my blog but today when i logged in to my Google Analytics account, I got to know that about 298 strange visitors have just checked my post I hate Google! - Beta! Beta! Bugs too! by just a link back from the Official Gmail Blog to my Blog.

This above image is a screenshot of Track back captured from this post on Official Gmail Blog. At first, I was really amazed because I didn't hoped that my hard review about Google's Gmail and Orkut will bring some more traffic to my Blog, but this time I must say that Google Engineers keeps tracking about what people says and what's going up on web. In the below image you can see that there is about 298 visitors just visited my blog from Gmail Blog which is far from the link backs by any other source. If you are thinking that what improvements they just made to the Gmail ? then read below :

We spent hours poring over these traces to see exactly what was happening between the browser and Gmail during the sign-in sequence, and we found that there were between fourteen and twenty-four HTTP requests required to load an inbox and display it. To put these numbers in perspective, a popular network news site's home page required about a 180 requests to fully load when I checked it yesterday. But when we examined our requests, we realized that we could do better. We decided to attack the problem from several directions at once: reduce the number of overall requests, make more of the requests cacheable by the browser, and reduce the overhead of each request.We made good progress on every front. We reduced the weight of each request itself by eliminating or narrowing the scope of some of our cookies.

We made sure that all our images were cacheable by the browser, and we consolidated small icon images into single meta-images, a technique known as spriting. We combined several requests into a single combined request and response. The result is that it now takes as few as four requests from the click of the "Sign in" button to the display of your inbox.

I hate Google! - Beta! Beta! Bugs too!

Do you really thinks that I hate Google ? Yes I do for now !
From last few months i am really fed up with Google, not from it's amazing search engine but from some of it services. I hopes you people remembered the last time when they deleted my orkut profile without any confirmation mail, that time the other stuff were working fine, so i didn't shouted up so much about it, but this time the services like Orkut and Gmail are no more such good web services to spend time with. I knows you are thinking that why i am telling all this about your loving Google! Ok let come to the exact matter.

The recently added apps feature (copied from Facebook) in orkut is really not appreciating, instead it is just a time wasting and do's nothing except annoying the visitor of your profile but yes it's good that the apps are not compulsory. When you attaches a lots of apps in your profile, orkut gets hangs and it goes hard to handle it then. If we starts talking about Gmail, it has a good spam filtering but what about when you receives a mail having some large images and it opens up in a way such that the ads on right column overlaps all the images as like Ads are much important for Google than the mail itself, this really irritates me often. It's ages now when Microsoft just renamed Hotmail to Windows Live Hotmail and came out of beta without any fuzz but our Google's Gmail is still sleeping in Beta even after having a new version, Did the old version ever came out of Beta! When When ??

Orkut too have a beta mark till yet, As I thinks Google Engineers are not working that's so hard as like Microsoft Guys. What do you say Guys ? Do you too have some problem with Google or I am alone ??

Exploring Microsoft Videos !

I am talking about the new Microsoft Videos beta website which includes videos by Microsoft containing some of the Product Tutorials, Demonstration, News, Events and some additional stuff exclusively for IT Pros, Developers, Home Users, Business Users, and for Gamers too. When i just browsed the preview site I found that the collection is good though and have the latest talks, insider secrets, with some of the new Microsoft Office 2007 Tips Videos including some of the How to's for various other products by Microsoft are also good there by. The site looks nice with easy navigation bars and clean interface powered by Silverlight.

Having nice collection of Tech Videos, it also allows us to embed and rate the videos as like Download.com's CNET TV (may be the jealousy led Microsoft to start there own tech video site. But whatever, i will recommend you to have a look and explore more out of it !

The Video "Max Builds a PC - The Final How-To Video and WINNER!" above is the one i just enjoyed for no reason (Actually a PC with a rating of 5.9 from Windows Vista’s Experience Index rating system!). You may need to Install Silverlight to view the above video! I am not sure about it for different Web Browsers.

A new hard step, No Donuts for old techies

Sorry Guys ! but from today itself i am going to stop wasting my time in optimizing this hardly updated blog. Actually in the past 8 months after starting this blog I have tried my best to have it working on each of the web browser and on each of the bandwidth speed but it's really hard to have it be loaded on every poor guys home, so I finally decided to move a step in this matter so that the users who are still on some slow connection speeds will upgrade there bandwidth speeds.

And for me, It's time to do something different or the same thing with something different ! So i have finally loaded my blog with some more widgets and removed some of the old posts which was not at all useful in fact crap ! Sorry to guys who may have linked to them (confidentially out of question, LOL) or by mistake bookmarked them to try out the new services launched for sharing bookmarks online. But now it will be better if you use some other guys computer or upgrade your own so i may continue my journey with ever New Tech / Ever Spreading Internet and with the Never Ending Sea of Knowledge.
I hopes you may be happy ! Bye Bye

hey wait, i forgot to inform that i have my own choice so if something will seem to be going really bad i may change it again, so please beware and keep on visiting this blog for future actions ;)

huh ! Life comes to web, lol

Can you believe that the guys at Microsoft has now started doing something out of the common stuff in fact weird, the last day when I just logged in to Windows Vista Blog, I got a post as "New Wallpaper for your Windows Vista Desktop: Made by me!" published by Brandon LeBlanc (one of the blogger at Microsoft) in which he shared a pic captured by his camera to let the people use it as a wallpaper image, this things really made me confused because the blog is said to be an official Microsoft Blog which aims to let the Windows Users know about the new activities of Microsoft but he shared his own personal stuff {:o} rather than to share something new by Microsoft.

Till tomorrow I believes that I shouldn't post any crap to my blog if there's nothing new but he proved that to publish something is better than to have nothing. I am still confused if he did right or wrong, this is eating me up and making me uncomfortable inside but yeah leave it ! and think, what if all the Microsoft guys started doing as he did ? lol I hopes you peoples can think about :P
