Yohoo! Ice Cream Sandwich!

Google did not deliver it. I waited for around a month. Was getting bored tonight and got some help on Google Plus. Went ahead with the manual process using the official build. Took me less than 15 minutes to get it updated. And it seems to be doing great.

I have had a couple of disappointments. But overall, it is a much much better experience compared to Gingerbread.

Seriously loving the ability to take screenshot on my phone!

Yohoo! Ice Cream Sandwich!

Bye Bye Go Daddy

Go Daddy might have changed their public stance towards SOPA. But I am finally doing what I have been delaying for years now… Switching away from them.

I might end up paying a dollar or two more on each domain renewal but I would no longer have to deal with their complicated wizards that are thrown at my face on every freaking order!

Moving to Hover.com as they seem to have an awesome customer care! First domain migration is currently underway…

Google Chrome 16 makes me a bit sad

I have been complaining about Opera for a long time now about how they removed a feature that I loved and used multiple times on a daily basis.

Google Chrome has done the same. Google Chrome 16 removed the optional parameter I could use to get back the old ‘new tab page’.

Google Chrome 16 makes me a bit sad

So basically, I am stuck with the ‘new tab page’ which has pretty awful UI for accessing the recently closed web pages.

I hate this small option at the bottom right of the screen. I wished Google had made a dedicated page for it just like they have for bookmarks, most visited pages and web apps.

ICICI Bank now has audio messages on their online banking platform

I tried making a payment online using my bank account with ICICI Bank and noticed something awful.

They now have audio messages for you that plays automatically when you try to login and pay online using their platform.

I can see why they decided to take this step. But they could provide me with an option to disable them permanently.

I do not want to alert everyone around me that I am trying to login to my bank account whenever I want to do it!

I wonder why Google does not backup SMS on Android platform

I decided to format my phone today because it had become terribly slow.

Ironic. Isn’t it? Android is pretty much like Windows when it comes to performance.

In any case, I think the only data I lost in the process were the text messages. Apart from that, almost everything else was backed up in the cloud.

I had the option of backing up texts using a third party app. decided against it. But still. There must be a good reason why Google is not offering cloud backup of text messages!
