I'd say that's the most impressive package I've seen from Microsoft, heck it even cooler than Zune ;-)

Transliteration software

Transliteration (A transcription from one alphabet to another) software for Indian languages are budding all over the net. My favorite is the Microsoft Phonetic Input Tool. I recently stumbled upon this web based application, Quillpad. By default it transliterates from English to Hindi. It also does transliteration in Kannada, Malyalam, Tamil, Telugu and Marathi. It's great to use our native languages for digital communications.

Search engine with an attitude

[Ms. Dewey]

Interactive search engine, combines the power of Live search and Flash based bot with a real life character [Janina Gavankar]. Give it a try and here are some fun keywords...

• Halo or Games
• Google
• Microsoft
• Who are you?
• George Bush
• iPod
• Baby growth charts [try this a few times]
• your phone number?
• Darth Vader
• Will you date me?
• LA
• Police
• Mother

and by the way, don't ever try "ho" (you're going to try it, don't you?)

Birthday trivia

Last Sunday was my birthday and I received loads of wishes from friends. I also received this interesting trivia in one of the wishes

Your actual Birthday occurs only once every 7 years!
Although you might celebrate your birthday every year, your actual birthday only occurs once every 7 years! Not counting leaping years, the date you were born on moves each year to the following day of the week. For example, if you were born on Saturday March 15th, the following year, March 15th will fall on a Sunday, the year after on a Monday, and so on. This means your annual celebration is actually for your birth date - not your birthday - and in truth your birth day (the actual day you were born on) occurs only every 7 years!

Who'd want to celeberate their birthday every 7 years, I'm not!
