Ladies and Gentlemen, Today, 3rd November is Mukesh Sir’s Birthday. I would like to take this opportunity to write a few lines on what Mukesh Sir means to The Exun Clan.

This is to notify all Exun Members that there will be a meeting on Monday, 3rd November 2008.
It will be held in the break in Computer Lab IV.
This will be a VERY important meeting and all Exun Members MUST attend it as details regarding Exun 2008 and duties will be discussed.

In a move that might be aimed to take on YouTube (or maybe not) MTV has started MTV MUSIC, a service that supposedly provides all the music videos that MTV has (or ever had since its beginning) online and that too for FREE. New videos are being added daily, so even if your favourite videos aren’t there yet, they probably soon will be.

The service is rumoured to be available only in the US, but so far, all the videos I’ve tried to view have worked for me.

The videos can be embedded on your site, and they’ve also released a developer’s API 😀

Microsoft recently introduced Windows Azure (October 27 is the precise date), its operating system based on cloud computing. The OS serves as the underlying foundation of the Azure Services Platform to help developers build apps that span from the cloud to the data center, to PCs, the Web, and phones. Cloud-based developer capabilities are combined with storage, computational, and network infrastructure services, which are hosted on servers within Microsoft’s global data center network.

I recently came to know of this fascinating idea “Teen Buzz”

Teen Buzz is a ring tone optimized at 17.4 kHz which can only be heard by people less than 25 years of age because the ability to hear high frequencies deteriorates in humans with age. It is quite popular among teens in the United Kingdom who use it in schools so as to prevent disciplinary actions that would normally be imposed if a mobile phone user was caught using their phones during school hours.

You can hear the tone here

Just a small Google product alert:

Google’s started a phone search which provides information ranging from movie timmings to local buisness information. It’s a pilot service which is available only in Delhi and Hyderabad.
It proves to be very handy when you are on the go and can be reached with any phone number(i.e. mobile or landline).
a combination of advanced speech recognition technology and local experts(so,no worries about the accent) is being employed to deliver the information to the customers in an effecient and quick manner.
Also,once you find the information you’re looking for, you can:

• Get the information sent to you for free via SMS
• Have the information read to you

P.S.

It may not be available at all times and may not work all users

In English, Hindi and Telugu(for the moment)

First things first. Come October 14, 10 am PST and the new MacBook will be out. But wait, is it a new Macbook?  Now here is where things go a lil nutty. According to engadget, Apple has secretly created an entirely new manufacturing process. Apparently, Apple has created a brand-new process to sculpt casings for products out of aircraft-grade aluminum, using a system that carves the pieces out of a single block of metal using “3D lasers” and water-jet cutting. The new technique will supposedly allow for seamless components which require no bending or folding, won’t use screws to join together, are ultra-light but also “super strong,” and will enable the company to rapidly prototype and produce new designs. This is a rumor but rumors on engadget have been coming true time and again.
