Yahoo to Open up its Messenger 8.0 API Plug-ins

Last updated on: June 21, 2006 at 2:56 pm By Desh Kapoor

Opening up the plug-inarchitecture has become an important part of the strategy of Google to move ahead in the game. Yahoo has tried that with its "Widgets" and succeeded to a great extent. Now its trying it with its most popular service - the Yahoo Messenger. I feel the Yahoo Messenger is the most under-rated talking platform.. it has a free voice-mail... the ability - and great rates - to talk from PC to Phone (acquired from Dialpad) and well as a great user base from the chat era! I think this is a good move! Just recently even MSN came alive with the Windows Live Messenger. Read more

Torturing of Soldiers by Islamic Jehadis!

Last updated on: June 21, 2006 at 8:08 am By Desh Kapoor

The remains of the two American soldiers have been found in Iraq. Apparently, they were tortured before they were killed. It is not quite apparent what kind of torture they underwent.. but it would have been fairly brutal. The military says the remains were found late Monday night by forces acting on a tip from an Iraqi civilian, who also warned of possible explosives nearby. When they retrieved the bodies, coalition forces had to carefully sidestep several bombs placed around the corpses. Read more

Last updated on: June 21, 2006 at 4:14 am By Desh Kapoor

I wanted to let you know that the blog posts on this site can (and if I can - they will) have "Related Links" (below the post) to the main blog posts. Under this section, I will try and bring to you other information on other sites that is relevant to the topic on the main post. This will help you get a more comprehensive view of the topic in one place! Of course, the sidebar on the right has "Similar Entries" too - that brings along past blog posts on Drishtikone.com that have touched upon similar topics/issues. For me this is a culmination of an endeavor that I was working on for quite sometime but could never get it through! I am not a technical person and do not know any programming. So to get this right is a major accomplishment for me!! Read more

Last updated on: June 21, 2006 at 3:49 am By Desh Kapoor

I have seen in Los Angeles that Kirtan - specially according to Sikh traditions is quite popular. Here is a jewish guy who has come out with a CD. Singer Durga Das performs music known as Kirtan, a form of very old call-and-response devotional music from India. But now, as Kirtan finds its way into American culture, it is evolving in unexpected ways. Part of the change is being led by a Jewish man from Philadelphia named David Newman -- or, on stage, Durga Das. Read more
