Recalling School time pens!

This really amazes me to write about some of the old memories and especially it is about school time. No wonder there would be a smile on your face while you complete this line. You would have surely recalled some or one of your memorable moments of old times.

While in working hours, I was just going through the usual walk to my colleague Sujeet and saw him stuck somewhere, so thought to clear his doubt and push his car forward. In order to explain better, I took the paper and pen which were on his desk and started the explanation. It went over, finished. I was just moving back to my desk and there was something which was pulling me back, was something magnetic and it was the pen I just used, CELLO Gripper... and guys it all started now.


I remember the mentions of 0.5,0.6 mm points!




I used to ask colleagues and raised the topic of pens and one by one many names came out. Chirag Said Papermate, Anup Said Jetter, I recalled Jotter, cello gel.
Atul Makwana said Reynolds pens, etc.

I remember well that Dr. Saurabh Patel's classic handwriting were courtesy(give credit to pens too) to Reynold 045!

 

Moreover I remember my Friends Vineet Patel and Atul Patel always used Reynolds Jetter.












Dr. Abhishek Vyas used Mitsubishi uni ball pens.

Some High profile friends were using Gel pens, Jotter ones, Parker ones, Roller balls, minister ink pens.

You might also remember cello pointec in which we used to see ink level.

Also the 4 color pens.

Flash back of memories.

Hope you enjoyed.
Thanks.

 

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I MISSED ANY.

Its official now, Google acquires Motorola Mobility !

Search engine Google Inc on Tuesday announced that Sanjay Jha has stepped down as CEO of Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc.

He has been replaced by long-time Googler Dennis Woodside.

The announcement came after Google announced that the acquisition of Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc has closed, with Google acquiring the firm for $40.00 per share in cash.

The acquisition will enable Google to supercharge the Android ecosystem and will enhance competition in mobile computing.

Motorola Mobility will remain a licensee of Android and Android will remain open.

Google will run Motorola Mobility as a separate business.

Jha, who revived Motorola's Mobile Devices business and led the company through this acquisition, has stepped down as CEO, although he will continue to work with Google to help ensure a smooth transition.

Dennis Woodside, who has overseen integration planning for the acquisition and previously served as President of Google's Americas region, has become CEO of Motorola Mobility.

Larry Page [ Images ], CEO of Google, said, "I am happy to announce the deal has closed. Motorola is a great American tech company, with a track record of over 80 years of innovation. It is a great time to be in the mobile business, and I am confident that the team at Motorola will be creating the next generation of mobile devices that will improve lives for years to come."

"Sanjay Jha, who was responsible for building the company and placing a big bet on Android, has stepped down as CEO. I would like to thank him for his efforts and am tremendously pleased that he will be working to ensure a smooth transition as long-time Googler Dennis Woodside takes over as CEO of Motorola Mobility. I have known Dennis for nearly a decade, and he has been phenomenal at building teams and delivering on some of Google's biggest bets. Dennis has always been a committed partner to our customers and I know he will be an outstanding leader of Motorola -- and he has already off to great start with some very strong new hires for the Motorola team."

Dennis Woodside, CEO of Motorola Mobility, said: "Motorola literally invented the entire mobile industry with the first-ever commercial cell phone in 1983. Thirty years later, mobile devices are at the center of the computing revolution. Our aim is simple: to focus Motorola Mobility's remarkable talent on fewer, bigger bets, and create wonderful devices that are used by people around the world."

A small team of Motorola Mobility has joined Dennis Woodside and Mahesh Veerina (Software & Enterprise) is one among the few. Veerina will lead Mobile Devices product engineering teams responsible for delivering rich experiences to customers through development of compelling software application and platform roadmaps. He previously served as corporate vice president, Advanced Platforms for Motorola Mobility.

જરાક અંતર માંથી !

આજે ફરી એક વાર થાકી ને આવ્યો, મોડો મોડો જમવા બેઠો. વાગોળતાં વાગોળતાં અમુક પંક્તિઓ વિચારાઇ ગઈ.

ખબર છે કે બહુ જોરદાર નથી લખ્યું, પણ લાવો ને પોસ્ટ કરી દઊં !

સપનાં ક્યાંથી આવે?
નીંદર ક્યાં પૂરી થાય છે!

ફરિયાદ કોને કરૂં,
કોને સંભળાય છે?

લડું કોની જોડે જ્યારે ખબર જ છે કે,
સમય નો જ 'જય' થાય છે!

- જય વોરા

========

ખુલ્લી આંખે સપના જેવું લાગે છે !
આંખો દ્રારા અપેક્ષાઓને તાગે છે !
ખીંટી ઉપર ખુદની ઇચ્છા ટાંગે છે !

- શોભિત દેસાઇ

શબ્દ મધ્યે સ્વર્ગ છે, સમજાય તો,
એ જ એનો અર્થ છે, સમજાય તો.

પ્રશ્ન છે તો ઉત્તરો એના હશે,
સાવ સીધો તર્ક છે, સમજાય તો.

કોઈ ના બોલે છતાં સહુ સાંભળે,
એ જ સાચું પર્વ છે, સમજાય તો.

આ કલમ પર છે નિયંત્રણ કોકનું,
ને મને એ ગર્વ છે, સમજાય તો.

રહસ્યોના પડદાઓ ઉપાડી તો જો, ખુદા છે કે નહી હાક મારી તો જો!

રહસ્યોના પડદાઓ ઉપાડી તો જો
ખુદા છે કે નહી હાક મારી તો જો

પલાઠી લગાવીને ના બેસી રહે
તુ મુઠ્ઠીઓ વાળીને ભાગી તો જો

 

હશે તો ઉઠી દોડવા માંડશે
તુ પ્રારબ્ધને લાત મારી તો જો

ખબર તો પડે મોતીઓ છે કે નહી
તુ સમુંદરમાં ડુબકી લગાવી તો જો

છે મીઠા કે ખારા સમજ તો પડે
જલન ઝાંઝવાઓને ચાખી તો જો.

બુકાનીની અંદર સ્વજન નીકળે છે!

બુકાનીની અંદર સ્વજન નીકળે છે,
તવાયફના કંઠે ભજન નીકળે છે.

છુપાવી શકાતી નથી વાત અંદર,
બરફ છું છતાં પણ અગન નીકળે છે.

તપાસ્યું છે કારણ ડૂબી કેમ નૌકા ?
પુરાણી સ્મૃતિનું વજન નીકળે છે.

સતત આમ ભટકે કઇ ઝંખનામાં ?
લઇ રૂપ મનનું આમ પવન નીકળે છે.

હવે ચાલ મૂંગા રહીને વાત કરીએ,
નિયત શબ્દની બદચલન નીકળે છે.

એવું કેમ છે ?

હમણાં કશું લખાતું નથી એવું કેમ છે ?
ખુદને મળી શકાતું નથી એવું કેમ છે ?


ઝાકળની જેમ ક્ષણમાં ઊડી જઈશ હું છતાં
એ ફૂલને અડાતું નથી એવું કેમ છે ?


રાખી શકું છું સૂર્યમુખી જેવી દૂરતા
ને તો ય ત્યાં ટકાતું નથી એવું કેમ છે ?


એની નજીક વર્ષો લગોલગ રહીને પણ
અંતર હજુ મપાતું નથી એવું કેમ છે ?


પાણીની જેમ સરકી જવું છે, ખબર છતાં
એની ગલી વળાતું નથી એવું કેમ છે ?


બસ આંસુ આંખમાંથી વહેતા મૂકી શકું
ના પૂછ કે હસાતું નથી એવું કેમ છે ?

How to track & recover stolen or lost gadgets

Some gadgets are an expensive investment, but you don't need to spend a penny to protect your laptop or smartphone from theft explain Hitesh Raj Bhagat & Karan Bajaj.

LAPTOPS : PC: LocatemyLaptop

LocatemyLaptop (Windows 2000 and newer only) requires you to download and install a small software which installs in stealth mode - you'll never see it. To manage your registered laptop, you need to go to www.locatemylaptop. com from any computer and sign in to your account. Locatemylaptop is free for the most part - a free account lets you locate a single laptop on Google Maps. The only time you're really charged (US$ 3 per month) is when you need to use the service to remotely shred/wipe your data or get assistance from them to recover your property - but the paid plan can also be activated in the event that your laptop gets stolen - the small price you pay is well worth the added benefit. The paid (platinum) plan also lets you connect and track multiple computers from a single account.

MAC: Find My Mac

Find my Mac is an OS X Lion-specific service from Apple that uses iCloud. When you setup iCloud on your Mac, it automatically gives you the option to enable the Find my Mac service. Location services have to be enabled so that the location of the computer can be tracked accurately. In case of loss or theft, head to www.icloud.com, login with your Apple ID and it will display your computer's location on a map (it needs an internet connection). Select it, and you get the option to play a sound, send a notification message or remotely lock or wipe data from the drive. Keep in mind that once remote wipe is performed, your data is not recoverable and the computer cannot be located using iCloud again. You can also use the Find my iPhone app on iOS devices to locate, remotely lock or wipe your Mac.

PHONES AND TABLETS

iOS: Find My iPhone

Find My iPhone not only works with the iPhone, but also with the iPod Touch and the iPad. The free app requires you to have iCloud setup on your device with location services switched on. Head to www.icloud.com and sign-in with your Apple ID. The page will show you the list of devices associated with your Apple ID and their location on a map. You can remotely lock them, wipe data, play a sound on the device and display notifications on it (the devices should be connected to the internet). If you cannot access a browser, you can perform the same actions through the same app on any other iOS device.

Android: Avast Mobile Security

Avast offers possibly the most complete all-in-one security solution for Android devices and that too for free! It includes an antivirus scanner that scans local files and warns of malicious URLs, a built in app advisory (scans for apps with malicious intent), SMS & call filtering, SIM change notifications and a complete anti-theft and tracking service. A handy feature of the app is remote SMS commands - in case you can't find your device, you can trigger a siren, remotely lock or wipe data, display a notification or locate your device on a map - just by sendind an SMS to it with the correct keyword. The app hides so that it cannot be easily uninstalled.

Windows Phone: Find My Phone

On your Windows Phone, go to Settings, tap on Find my Phone and check the options that say 'Connect to these features faster' and 'Save my location every few hours'. Although this consumes a bit more battery. it allows for more precise tracking of your phone's location. When lost, head over to www.windowsphone. com and sign-in using your Windows Live ID. Go to My Phone > Find My Phone and from here you can map your phone's location, make it ring, lock it with a password, display a notification on it or erase the content remotely.

Blackberry: BlackBerry Protect

Avaialble as a free download from BlackBerry App World, BlackBerry Protect not only keeps track of your phone's location, it also backs up settings and all your data to the cloud. If you lose or misplace your phone, go to http://in.blackberry.com/protect and log-in with your Black-Berry ID. Now from the browser, you can make the phone ring at full volume or see its location on a map. You can also lock the phone with a password or delete all the data. As an added bonus, BlackBerry Protect makes it easy to switch from one BlackBerry phone to another. Download and sign in to BlackBerry Protect on your new phone and it will automatically sync data associated with your ID to the new phone.

Prey Project

What started off as a Windows-only open-source experiment has now grown to support computers running Mac OS X and Linux plus mobile devices running Android or iOS. Depending on whether you want to use it on a laptop or smartphone/tablet, you can trigger specific actions either by sending an SMS or by sending a command over the internet. On a computer, you can remotely grab a screenshot, use the webcam to take a photo of the thief or hide your data. On a smartphone, you activate Prey by sending an SMS. Then you can remotely track, lock, sound an alarm or display notification messages.
