Nokia Booklet
Nokia has unwrapped their new 3G enabled netbook at the Best Buy. The netbook or rather booklet , comes with Windows 7 started edition. Now the interesting thing is the edition of Windows 7 is not-so-premium “32-bit” Aero-less edition which leave us wondering just what to expect from it ? Anyway, it’s just a demo so we can still hope Nokia has some interesting features in store for this model.
Sending post data from within php. Explaining Furlong Script.
by Apoorv Parijat on Oct.22, 2009, under scripts
There are few ways using which you can send post data without using forms. One way to do is by using curl , the command line tool for sending files using URL syntax. The other I found is this simple script by Wez Furlong , one of the core PHP developers.
function do_post_request($url, $data, $optional_headers = null)
{
$params = array(’http’ => array(
‘method’ => ‘POST’,
‘content’ => $data ));
if ($optional_headers !== null) {
$params['http']['header'] = $optional_headers;
}
$ctx = stream_context_create($params);
$fp = @fopen($url, ‘rb’, false, $ctx);
if (!$fp) {
throw new Exception(”Problem with $url, $php_errormsg”);
}
$response = @stream_get_contents($fp);
if ($response === false) {
throw new Exception(”Problem reading data from $url, $php_errormsg”);
}
return $response;
}
?>
{
$params = array(’http’ => array(
‘method’ => ‘POST’,
‘content’ => $data ));
if ($optional_headers !== null) {
$params['http']['header'] = $optional_headers;
}
$ctx = stream_context_create($params);
$fp = @fopen($url, ‘rb’, false, $ctx);
if (!$fp) {
throw new Exception(”Problem with $url, $php_errormsg”);
}
$response = @stream_get_contents($fp);
if ($response === false) {
throw new Exception(”Problem reading data from $url, $php_errormsg”);
}
return $response;
}
?>
Get past the Airport security without leaving anything behind.

Apple chasing mouse.

Mighty Mouse
Apple has come up with sleek and suave Magic Mouse. It an aluminium base with sleek multitouch panel. The surface of the mouse supports gestures as in horizontal and vertical scroll along with the capability to cycle through the browser history.
The surface is again seamless with no scroll nipples or button pockets. The clicks are just like the old Apple clear mouse. It works on two AA batteries which , as Apple guarantees , should last for 4 months.

Blackberry to make watches

Sony Watches
After Sony , it’s RIM jumping into the business of time travelling. Not really. Though rumour goes RIM to be following Sony’s line to accompany their phones with bluetooth watches. It will come with an OLED display with message preview, caller id and presumably music control feature to make needlessly pulling your device out of it’s holster a thing of past.
RIM has farmed out the work to some company again following Sony’s footstep which had their watches gleaming by Fossil.
Engadget :
Interestingly, it seems like the watch isn’t being developed in-house — instead, work has been farmed out to some company dedicated to the BlackBerry aftermarket with an official announcement expected “soon.” As far as we know, Sony Ericsson’s watches — which arguably look nicer on account of their analog / digital hybrid design — haven’t been hot sellers, but who knows, maybe RIM’s got some neat tricks up its sleeve with this one.
Not sure whether Sony’s watches have been hot sellers or not but they certainly had impressive features on their wrist candy. The bluetooth device was capable of vibrating as it lost connection with the cell phone. Really useful if you are in a habit of forgetting your phone on office desk. We can only hope that what RIM has to offer stands up to it’s brand.

Hello world!
by Apoorv Parijat on Oct.18, 2009, under Uncategorized
Thinking
Kick starting the blog with post titled “Hello world!” as per the general routine.
Okay, since I can’t get my mind working right now, understandable considering the fact that it’s 3 in the morning and I’ve been working for 16hrs now , I’ll wrap up the first post without much effort.
I started this blog for reasons similar to many on the blogosphere. Sharing ideas, discussing norms, debating on issues.
In addition to that,the blog will serve me as a log book. Log book for theories, conclusions, lessons or what I collectively call “Algorithms” remarking upon the way these follow a specific pattern which is hard to explain but could be felt all around us.
The Algorithm referred to the believe that philosophy, religion and science are not sovereign. The knowledge of one gives insight into the other and call me irrational for this but I believe it must’ve been this knowledge which led Einstein discover relativity theory and Kekule – the structure of benzene.
