Microsoft
announced recently that the price for Surface tablets will start at $499.
While this might be same as the price of a similar Apple iPad I don’t think it
will help them.

Most people will tend to buy tablets based on three
parameters – brand, price and platform.

This is free advice from a common man but having seen your last few movies, I think someone had to do this.
Teri Meri Kahaani looked like a bad copy of Love Aaj Kal and the awful fake sets didn’t help. What was Kunal Kohli thinking? A good script is the only reason you should act in a movie, that or if it’s a mindless blockbuster that pays well.

Now that Apple has won the first round of the patent wars some manufacturers will turn towards Microsoft to spread their risk. This is not going to help Nokia since it means more competition for them. On the other hand, it will increase awareness about the Windows Phone mobiles.

Microsoft took that plunge a few days ago and I think they missed the mark.
Enough has been written about how Microsoft needs to move out of the shadow of Windows/Office and rebrand itself. Unfortunately, the new logo does exactly the opposite. The color squares in the new logo are a reminder of the evolution of Windows andUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409729839066758608.post-22375864367993779632012-08-11T11:09:00.002-07:002012-08-14T08:23:41.508-07:00Is parenthood worth it?This is my take on parenthood. I am not a parent, yet but hope to be one someday.
From what I have seen, the best years of your parenthood actually depends on the age of your child. 0 to 1 years – You just got done reading the your book on being a parent. You experience chaos, sleepless nights, helplessness and anxiety for your child mixed with moments of awe, wonder, love and joy.

I saw The Dark Knight Rises. I wrote about my expectations earlier. This is my 2 cents on the movie.
It was ok. It’s not that the whole movie sucked (Marion Cotillard was hot and better than Maggie Gyllenhaal), I cheered for Batman to get out of the pit but that didn’t have to be Batman. It was more like a movie about the French Revolution with criminals.

It’s not looking good for Nokia. They gambled and put all their eggs in one basket. Microsoft screwed them and they will lose big time on Lumina 800. Every blog out there is predicting their downfall but I think they still have a chance. It won’t be easy but here’s the plan:

I will probably be stoned for saying this but I got bored while watching The Dark Knight and I fear The Dark Knight Rises could have the same effect. The Dark Knight was so looonnng I was waiting for the credits! While I’m at it, let me also add that I got bored watching Inception.
