I was just exploring the new features in Bing maps. This one is interesting ;) You can easily create these destination maps and print them on your party invites etc...

CES 2010 - Slates and 3D TVs

Almost every major OEM introduced a slate computer in CES 2010 and every TV maker introduced a HDTV. When I read the news about all the new HDTVs I was wondering if people would be willing to wear some stupid glass to watch 3D programming. I was also wondering about the usefulness of a slate PC - its too big to be carried in the pockets and too uncomfortable for heavy use (no physical keyboard!). I came across this comment in engadget that summed up my thoughts perfectly.

Will people trade in their phone for something too big for their pockets? No

Will people start carrying two devices? No

Will people buy a slate that does everything your smartphone does, only with a screen that's somewhat larger? No

Will people buy a slatedevice because Steve Jobs says it's "amazing" twentyfour times on january 27th? Probably yes.

Now, let's wait for the 27th... 15 days to go ;)

Quarter Century!!

This is a follow up to my blog entry in February. India has finally topped the ODI ICC rankings for the first time since they were started in 2002.

Let's hope that India wins the next 2 games in Sri Lanka to retain the top spot.
