- Inception – Escape from Limbo29 July 2010, 6:42 am
One of the most misunderstood scene from the movie is the whole scene where Cobb and Ariadne go into Cobb’s dream – which is supposedly Limbo and which Saito entered from the Ice level by dying. The interesting thing here is the huge age difference between Saito and Cobb. If you would have noticed, Cobb [...]... - Inception – The Finale28 July 2010, 9:48 am
The most debated scene in Inception is without a doubt the ending. There are a hundred theories on how the movie ended and then some more. Some have even gone to the extent of saying that the whole movie was someone else’s dream. Some say that the spinning top was the totem of the [...]... - Object Oriented Inception – The Movie23 July 2010, 5:52 am

So I was trying to find a nice picture of the Android logo for my new blog Android is Here. I was trying to use Google Image Search to find the picture that I could use.

Interesting new feature on Gmail. It scans the text in your mail to see if you had intended to attach anything to the email, and gives you a popup, if you inadvertently clicked on send without actually attaching the document. I have done this quite a few times and I know tens of mails that [...]...
- Google Goggles – Google Inc.27 June 2010, 12:04 pm
Google Goggles is an interesting app but one that I have not found much use for, or have not got it to work sufficiently well.

Good maintenance will make the battery go longer.. It was just one year….1100 Kms covered totally by the vehicle…..and the vehicle stopped running. Got it serviced [...]... - Bio degradable/eco friendly ...9 December 2009, 9:55 pm
