Reg Hardware reports that Intel will unveil Intel Core Duo 2. The exciting news will be if it even releases the mobile version which is code named Merom. Looking forward to the release.

Earlier today on Software & Tools, I wrote about the closed beta of HubPages. Having a first glance looks like it is a competitor to Squidoo. I still will play with it more before I write more. I see that Michael from TechCrunch has already written about it.

I got to agree on commentor no. 10 (Klim) that the beta page that shows up when somebody goes the site could be a bit better seeing all the stuff going around with the use of AJAX. It looks so much 1990’s.

Wow, this is cool. Now we can project a video over air waves. Check out this video on YouTube on air video screen called Helio. Asking price is $US 20000. I think I will wait for few more years :).

I just posted about a fake Orkut site which looks just like Orkut but there is something fishy about it, check my post on Software and Tools about it.

It’s been a while since we heard that news that Yahoo Mail was getting a makeover, but there is no see of when the new makeup will be revealed. Has anybody else heard anything about this lately?

Microsoft announced yesterday that they are buying Sysinternals a company ran by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell. The first thing that came to my mind is “Wow, this will mean that we will have more free and cool tools to play with”. I have used few of the Sysinternals tools so far and am very happy with them and they for sure made my life easy from time to time.

Marm developed Rootkit Revealer which he then went on to reveal Sony’s incomprehensible use of a root kit against its own customers. Mark joins as a “Technical Fellow” at Microsoft. Looks like Mark’s site is loaded today as it is very slowly responding, but it’s still on so far. Mark writes about this news on his blog.

Congratulations to Mark and his new employer Microsoft.

Looking at the picture below I have both laughed and stopped and worried for a while. I am from India and I know how difficult life can get there in the places where there is a problem of drinking water.

Neil Patel has taken an initiative to create a list of all the domain names that Google owns. Wow, a long long list and many more to come along the way. He is missing some along the way and I see friends at Digg are helping him create a complete list.

I hope Neil makes an effort to constantly update this list if it is not too much to ask for ;).

Now can anyone be bothered to dig out a complete list of domains that Microsoft owns?

Wow, I am amazed. It is 720 Megapixel photo of Sydney CBD in the night. Magnificient picture.The picture is by Scott Howard. If you zoom enough you will be able to see people standing in it.
