GMail starts Themes, No more boring old style


GMail is going to start Theme very soon (hopefully). Few lucky users of Google Mail noticed this new feature. A new tab appears for few users in the setting to change themes. This is may be a test phase or beta level of the themes and if successful Gmail will launch this feature for everyone.

I am still waiting when for me this feature will pop up but for now lets keep our hopes alive that everyone will get this new feature & dont have to suffer the boring template & looks but have some other options to make the mail more interactive & beautiful.

LACONIC Meaning: Saying little-meaning much by Ankita

It has been a while that i haven’t updated anything but thanx to my dear friend Ankita, i am posting something off herself. Let me tell you the fact that this girl is an amazing writer. I should say the exact word as Professional writer unlike me who is just a stupid slow & sleazy blogger. She is a copyright and writes article professionally.
I would like to request her to write something for this blog whenever she gets time from her busy schedule. Below now i am posting new interesting Laconic quotes she gave me. I don’t know if i am posting them correctly or not. The look so nice but i am not sure if they should be used properly into some articles. Its like when you get some powers and don’t know how to use it, all you know is you have powers and stay excited about that fact.
I would request all of you do read them they are really interesting.

Anyways here I go:

• In ancient Sparta, originally known as Laconia, the citizens were tolerant, cynical, enduring and known for their economy of speech. Legend has it that when Philip of Macedonia was invading Sparta (or Laconia), he sent a message to the besieged King saying, “If we capture your city, we will burn it to the ground”. A one word answer came back: “If”

• Calvin Coolidge, who, when he was the president of U.S.A. was often called “Silent Cat”. A young newspaper woman was sitting next to him at a banquet, so the story goes, and turned to him mischievously, “Mr. Coolidge”; she said, “I have a bet with my editor that I can get you to say more than two words to me this evening”. “You loose”, Coolidge replied simply.

• Like the woman who was sitting at a snack bar waiting for a ham- sandwich. When it is ready the assistant asked politely, “Will you eat it here, or take it with you?” Both”, was the laconic reply.

• A woman was watching a drunk imbibing dry martini at a cocktail bar. The drunk downed the content of each cocktail glass at one gulp, daintily nibbled and swallowed the bowl, then finally, turned the glass over and ate the base. The stem he threw into a corner. This amazing gustatory feat went on for half an hour, until a dozen stems were lying shattered in the corner, and the drunk had chewed and swallowed enough bowls and bases to start a glass factory. He suddenly turned to the lady and asked belligerently, “I suppose you think I’m crazy, don’t you?” Sure, the stem is the best part”, was the laconic reply.

Ankita we would like some more of those and some post from you.

“Because of what we did on this day, in this election, in this defining moment, change has come to America,” Obama told 125,000 supporters gathered in Chicago’s Grant Park to celebrate his victory.

The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his historic triumph by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states — Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa and more.
McCain called Obama to offer his congratulations at 11 p.m. ET, Obama’s chief spokesman, Robert Gibbs, told NBC News. Obama thanked McCain for his “class and honor” during the campaign and said he was eager to sit down and talk about how the two of them could work together.Saying, “The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly,” McCain told supporters in Phoenix.
President Bush called to congratulate Obama and promise a smooth transition of power on Jan. 20, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

“Mr. President-elect, congratulations to you. What an awesome night for you, your family and your supporters,” said Bush, who invited Obama and his family to visit the White House as soon as it was convenient.

You will be hearing all this for coming few days on News, papers & all over the internet. I would like to Congratulate Barack Obama for his Victory.

Microsoft Buys a Little Time


In a surprise move, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced yesterday that he has purchased the entire calendar year of 1998. 1998 will be replaced instead by “Year-M” to be followed by actual 1998.

“Windows 98 was not going to ship on schedule,” Gates said. “But we couldn’t change the name again… people were starting to get confused. So instead of spending a lot of time and money on a new marketing campaign we decided just to buy 1998. That way we get an extra year to debug Windows and get it shipped for what will be the new 1998.”
