The Chocolate keyboard

May 19th, 2010 Ashesh

It is simply irresistible a sight that I can almost taste it. What an ideal gift idea for a choco-compu fan! Gobbling up the whole seems quite fantastic [of course not on a single day], but sharing it with a whole group of  friends would be too cool….each one would get a letter of  his or her choice….even numbers, symbols and yes of course the “space bar”….lucky guy!

This chocolate keyboard has been designed by Michael Sholk of  St. Petersburg, Russia. Really nice work.

Apples releases iPhone OS 4 Beta 4 SDK to developers

May 19th, 2010 Ashesh

It’s that time again, folks: with another two weeks behind us, Apple has released yet another Beta rendition of iPhone OS 4. Like those that came before it, this fourth Beta release is signed and sealed for developers only — in other words, if you’re not a dev, you’ll have to sit tight for a little while longer.

Facebook Launches 0.facebook.com, A Mobile Site That Incurs Zero Data Fees

May 19th, 2010 Ashesh

Facebook just got a lot more accessible to international users. The social network has launched 0.facebook.com, a special mobile-only site that can be accessed free of charge on select carriers. The lightweight site omits photos but includes core functionality like News Feed, status updates, profile Walls and messaging.  And most important, Facebook has partnered with over 50 mobile carriers to offer free access to the site, without any data fees.

Not to be confused with the now defunct Facebook Lite, Facebook 0 was originally announced back in February (when it was called ‘Zero’). Facebook has presumably been hammering out deals with carriers since then, and it has quite a few on board with more on the way (you can see a list of countries supported in Facebook’s blog post or the table below).

This mobile site could play a big role in Facebook’s growth going forward, especially given the predictions that browser-equipped mobile phones will be more abundant than PCs in the not-too-distant future. For some people, 0.facebook.com will probably be their only Facebook experience — it may even be the only mobile site they’re Read more…

How Fast Does YouTube Say Your Internet Speed Is?

May 12th, 2010 Ashesh

I’m not entirely sure how I ended up finding this page on YouTube’s site, but I’m always interested in seeing real-world bandwidth tests, and YouTube probably burns up more bandwidth than any other domain on the planet, so they have some rich data from which to draw upon. Make sure you’re logged into YouTube, then check out their historical speed page. The above screenshot shows that I consume YouTube videos at 4.66Mbps average speed; I was surprised to see that the average GB rating, and the global rating, were  low.

Importance of Organic Rankings

March 31st, 2010 Ashesh 1 comment

A Jupiter Media study found that 5 out of 6 commercial purchases came from the organic search results versus paid ads.

Organic vs PPC vs Paid Inclusion

Many search engines had to find new revenue streams as the dot com bubble burst and targeted pay per click text ads provided that stream.

Yahoo! also has a paid inclusion program which is said to ensure coverage but not to have any effect on relevancy. Listing in their paid inclusion does get your site a human review though, so it may help improve your relevancy scores some. Read more…
