Vista may have its patrons. But I am certainly not one of them and TopDesk has increased my reasons. One really likable feature in Vista is Window Flip (AERO). It is certainly eye catching and gives the desktop  more 3d look. But then there’s nothing that’s not possible on XP.

TopDesk comes as a great tool which adds this feature to your Windows XP giving you one more reason to stick to the aging OS. Using a reasonable 18-20 Mb of your RAM, it runs in the tray and gives a decent performance without slowing down your PC. It has ample options to customize the program according to your needs. Here are some of the options it provides -

As you might know that we started offering blog designing services as well, so I had to make some icons on and off as on regular stock photo sites most of the times I didnt find any icon apart from the regular rss, popular, home and contact icons. So while I was making something for our own use, I made these vector icons and then got them into photoshop to give various button effects (12 in total) and am publishing it today for my fellow readers to use. You can download the rar file with all the psd’s and if you face any difficulty in editing the colors then please feel free to contact me.

I was reading an interesting article today called Dear Microsoft : It’s time for Internet Explorer, Powered by Firefox!

Well, it certainly rings the bells and the headline itself is catch enough to drag all your attention from rest of the stuff in your life.

The article says that here’s what will happen if Microsoft decides that they’ll build IE over Firefox’s code :

1. It’ll be the biggest tech news of the year.
2. It’ll make Microsoft favorite amongst huge sector of techies who only vouch for Open-source technologies.
3. Microsoft will become darling amongst all the web developers too.
4. Microsoft will have millions of developers working to build their browser better.
5. Less exploits will be made for IE and thus will make Windows more secure. Well, in case any exploit will be made, it won’t be on IE based, it will work on other browsers like Firefox and Flock too.

What else won’t happen if Microsoft takes this step :

When it comes to advertising, Indian ad agencies are far too fast than Apple. Apple hasn’t launched iPhone in Indian Market yet but thanks to availability of unlocked iPhones in India and the way it’s market is increasing, an ad agency made use of iPhone in Maruti Suzuki’s Wagon R’s ad campaign.

Well, the ad says that iPhone is smart! However, they even say that WagonR is Very Smart!!

Well, can’t say if WagonR is very smart or not, however the attempt of wooing the Indian techies by Maruti WagonR is certainly great.

What do you think about such an advertising campaign, is it a very smart attempt or not ?

You can easily chat with people when in Offline mode too, it’s good to see that they allowed this because Google talk is just too honest normally and I thought that they won’t allow you to chat with anyone when in Offline mode. Recently, Amit found the trick of setting your status to always idle using a small software called  GAlwaysIdle.

You just need to install this software and from Gtalk itself you can set your status message as Idle.
