ORKUT got launched with failure of LOVE Story

A guy lost his girlfriend in a train accident....but the gal's name nowhere appeared in the dead list.

This guy grew up n became IT technical architect in his late 20?s, achievement in itself!!

He hired developers from the whole globe and plan to make a software where he could search for his gf through the web..

Things went as planned...

n he found her, after losing millions of dollars and 3 long years!!

It was time to shut down the search operation, when the CEO of Google had a
word with this guy n took over this application,

This Software made a whopping 1 billion dollars profit in its first year, which we today know as ORKUT.

The guy's name is ORKUT BUYUKKOTEN Yes its named after him only. Today he is paid a hefty sum by Google for the things we do like scrapping. He is expected to b the richest person by 2009..

LG's Incite Latest to Take on iPhone

The list of challengers trying to steal market share from Research in Motion's BlackBerry and Apple's iPhone expanded with LG's debut of Incite, the handset maker's first-ever US smartphone.

The Windows Mobile handset, which is also LG's first US WiFi device, features a haptic (vibrating) feedback touch screen, a three-inch display, international 3G capability and Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 for Exchange connectivity. It also supports Microsoft’s System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008, an enterprise tool for managing and protecting Windows Mobile phones.

Smartphones are defined as mini-computing devices popular with professionals who need access to corporate communications and also want consumer-focused entertainment capabilities such as video streaming and high-quality music sound. The devices operate on robust operating systems that support fast Web access, data exchange and services ranging from social networking capabilities to GPS location based functionality.

LG said the Incite, sold exclusively by AT&T (NYSE:T) for $199 with a two-year contract and rebate, reflects today's mobile user needs.

"There is obvious demand for a device such as the Incite specifically with the business professional segments but we are also noticing a trend across all segments for smartphone devices," Ehtisham Rabbani, VP, product strategy and marketing, LG.

Teamviewer - One click connect to remote computer

TeamViewer is the fast, simple and friendly solution for remote access over the Internet - all applications in one single, very affordable module:

With just one click you can easily connect to other computer.When you open teamviewer application, you can see ID and password.Just inform your ID and password to your partner who want to connect to your desktop from remote place and assist you.
He can enter ID on the right side of screen and click 'connect to partner'.It will prompt to enter password.After entering password your friend can easily access your system.
I personally like this because it is very simple when compared to windows remote assistance where invitation file should be created and sent to your partner.
Also this is very secure because when you close and open the application the password will change automatically.So Even your friend cannot connect without your permission and new password.
