20 Things I want in my Tablet

Dear Tablet PC Manufacturers,

Google has started shipping its latest tablet PC called Google Nexus 7. Apple’s iPad is already a market leader, but they are also planning to launch iPad Mini in September. Amazon’s Kindle Fire caused a lot of positive vibe last year while Lenovo and Samsung has some offerings as well. But the most noise, nowadays, is coming from Microsoft, who is about to launch its surface tablet PC. So has been become quite difficult not to own a tablet PC nowadays. I am willing to pay a maximum of $300 but I have 20 things which I require in my tablet PC, which would enable me to replace my laptop (at least for home use) and give me even more. So if you want to earn my $300, then read this blog and make a tablet PC which fits the bill. 

SCSM - IT Operations Perspective

Microsoft's System Center Service Manager is here. Fancy names aside, it is a ticketing system which keeps a track of all the work done in IT operations. We have just launched SCSM in our production environment and right now is a good time to tell you guys as to how I, being part of IT Operations, see SCSM. 

 

Why I have not bought an Apple Till Now?

I remember there was a time, when I was a big fan of Apple, even though for most of my life, I couldn't afford any of their products. Their powerful Macintosh desktops, their flat screens, their lamp shaped PCs, their introduction of mouse etc all amazed me. Obviously everything was out of my buying power. 

Type in Urdu!

Sometimes you would want to type a letter in Urdu. Okay, okay I know that would be, like, never... As in this day and age of twitter, SMS etc, its even hard to get to read a normal English sentence. One guy I was chatting with on MySpace, was like 'WOW, you write full English sentences! With dots and all!'

But still maybe if you want to impress someone then you can use the following link to do that.

You can type by clicking the keyboard OR you can type from your keyboard directly. The letter translations are pretty simple. e.g. H for 'Ha', K for 'Kaaf' etc.

Who's there?
My Mobile just got stolen.
So?
My confidential contacts were in it. I am afraid, our competitors will find out our customer information and try to steal them!

Well if you ever come across such a case, then keep in mind that if your users are on Exchange 2007 and their mobile devices are synching data from the Exchange server, you use 'Exchange 2007 Remote Wipe' feature, to wipe out all contacts from a device remotely.
