Fallout 3 - India Controversy


Microsoft has decided not to launch Fallout 3 for its Indian consumers as it may create controvery. Some scenes are not suitable for the Indian audiences. For example, the survivors have 2 cows heads called brahmins and here in India this sect has an utmost respect in the society. This will create an unnecessary issue.

Google Chrome Flaws

Comparing Google Chrome with Firefox 3, there are some features which are really lacking in Google Chrome. First of all, it doesn't save text whatever I type in the search or the username of my email account. Second, I have to redirect my hotmail, as it doesn't recognize this browser. They should have taken care of all major email providers compatibility before launching. Third, lack of extensions unlike Firefox.
They can't hide their negligence under the cover of BETA.

Indian RAW proves its metal

Indian intelligence agencies proves its metal by showing that they are able to crack the 256 bit algorithm code used by blackberries to send mails.
Initially Indian government was not permitting blackberries to launch in India as it could lead to some serious security issues regarding sending emails from these devices and the government was not able to track them. They used to work only on the 8 bit algorithm.
This could be a hoax also, that they are now able to track the emails sent from these devices, just to create their image in the minds of the terrorists that "you are being watched".

Google copies the concept

Google is working on sending group sms which is already established concept by other providers like 160by2.com, twitter, indyarocks etc. to name few. The only difference I found is that there won't be any ads in the text messages sent using the Google channels. That means users get the full 160 letters. Otherwise its the same concept.
Google has to stop this copying thing and need to come out with new innovative products. Google also launched google video which was a failure because Youtube was already well established in the market and finally they had to acquire youtube, it is a waste of resources.
