Holi, or Holli, also called the Festival of Colors, is a spring festival celebrated by Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and others. It is primarily observed in India, Nepal, Srilanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and countries with large Indic diaspora populations, such as Suriname, Guyana, South Africa, Trinidad, UK, USA, Mauritius, and Fiji. In West Bengal of India and Bangladesh it is known as Dolyatra (Doul Jatra) or Basanta-Utsav (“spring festival”). The most celebrated Holi is that of the Braj region, in locations connected to the god Krishna: Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandagaon, and Barsana. These places have become tourist destinations during the festive season of Holi, which lasts here to up to sixteen days..

Yesterday, I bought a new Acer Aspire notebook and installed Windows 7. The problem with “Acer + Windows 7” is that, the drivers (for windows 7 ultimate) are not installed and available with the CD packed with the laptop.

So, this post is dedicated to all the people suffering with Acer Driver problems. Acer has a dedicated support page from which we can download all the drivers for the laptop. I’ve listed the some important drivers required to run windows smoothly on the new laptop.

Couple of things to start with…

–          Install the windows operating system of your choice on the laptop (if windows OS is packed with the laptop even better, coz you won’t be facing any of these driver issues)….

–          Visit the Acer support site –> Select your laptop model

–          After selecting the model of your laptop, choose carefully the operating system (Windows XP or Windows Vista or Windows 7)

–          Download the drivers, install and you’re all setup.

If you’ve chosen the right drivers, then all your system hardware should be working fine and you’re good to go. Here are some drivers that you need to run a smooth system with windows 7 ultimate.

–          Wifi + Network drivers

–          Web cam drivers

–          Fingerprint reader drivers (about 100mb)

These are the basic drivers that you might need.  If this stuff is too geeky for you, you can probably call the Acer support on 1-800-11-6677…. Hope all this info helps!!!

p.s this is my first post from my new laptop :)

Google has announced on its chrome developer blog, that it would be paying developers to report bugs in google chrome and firefox.

This is a new way of fixing and rewarding authors\developers at the same time.

Any bug filed through the Chromium bug tracker (under the template “Security Bug”) will qualify for consideration. As this is an experimental program there are some guidelines one needs to follow, in order to get paid :).

More information can be found on the Google Chrome Blog.

Google has given its verdict! From March 1st, all google products will drop the support of IE6.. This could also because of the Google – China attack (we’re guessing) – It seems that the Chinese hackers infiltrated the Google accounts using the IE6 vulnerability.

The company has recommended that users upgrade immediately to other browsers Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 +, Mozilla Firefox 3.0 +, Google Chrome 4.0 + or Safari 3.0, an update that would be required because of insecurity manifests itself in IE6 and lack of standards support concerned with web developers.

According to Google, “the Web has advanced enormously in the last ten years from simple text pages to interactive applications that unfortunately older browsers cannot run effectively.

Here is a funny IE6 Parody image :)…

Thus Google is added to the initiative taken by other companies, banish old browser versions. The company has opted for Google Docs and Google Sites are not supported in IE6 and another in the other, from long-standing standard browser, movement that will become effective on 1 March 2010.

About a week ago we told you that there was a hidden message – countdown in the ‘I’m feeling lucky button’ on the home page of Google.com which was set to trigger exactly on the new year at 00.00 hours. Now that we’re in the New Year, when I tried to click on the “I’m feeling lucky button”, it just splashed the happy New Year message with a grand display of fireworks across the Google homepage!

This is the first time a Google Easter Egg is placed in the Google.com homepage!

Thanks Websonic for the video :)!!

Happy new year to you too…. Have a blast!!

After Google launched its new real-time search, one thing the interface missed was the style. The real-time results from twitter & Facebook were in the middle of the search results and looked ugly. Now the Google team has come up with a new-nicer look for the real-time searches.

You can hit – http://www.google.com/realtime/ to start searching in real-time. This new interface is almost the same as the Google.com interface.

Here is how the real-time homepage looks like:

And the results page:

The results keep updating themselves as and when there is new information available, just like the twitter stream!!

Still confused? Yeah! Google thought so too… they’ve made a video, check it out!
