Laptops beat desktop shipments in Q3 2008
Dec 31st
Being a Laptop user since October 2008 and that includes me in the Q3 sales 
this is some good news to me .
With 3rd quarter sales, revenue, and earnings posted and evaluated, several surprising facts come into play. iSuppli, a market research firm, has evaluated desktop and laptop sales, and for the first time ever, laptop shipments this quarter have been above desktop shipments.
38.6 million laptops were sold last quarter, only slightly above 38.5 million desktops sold. Notebook PC shipments rose 40 percent over 3rd quarter 2007, while PC shipments fell 1.3 percent over 3rd quarter 2007.
HP held the top spot for notebook shipments and PCs (14.9m units), with Dell in 2nd place (11m units), but Acer is quickly catching up (9.7m units). Acer accounts the large increase in notebook shipments to it’s Aspire One Netbook line, a small and cheap laptop. Following Acer was Lenovo and Toshiba.
The laptop and netbook market is expected to grow even more in the current quarter due to the holidays and netbooks being even more aggressively priced. Also, several cellular networks are supposedly beginning to roll out savings plans to make netbooks even cheaper when bought with a data plan.

Lotus Notes and Me !
Dec 15th
It is the lotus Notes world that surrounds me 24/6 ,even dreams are replicated and archived. Domino no longer resembles a Pizza Company it rather resembles a Server.
Anyway’s reason for this lame post is the daily comic I receive in my E-mailbox, It is the Pearls Before Swine comic which by the way is absolutely fantastic. I am a fan of this comic all thanks to the news paper Mumbai Mirror ,this paper carried this strip daily but unfortunately we got this news paper discontinued hence the email subscription.
Back to the topic I just hope I don’t become rat in this comic.

Microsoft Debuts MySpace for IT Pros
By Ed Oswald, BetaNews
November 10, 2006, 6:11 PMMicrosoft on Friday launched what it bills as a social networking site for IT professionals, called Aggreg8. The company aims for the site to become a MySpace-like forum for developers to share scripts, tools, or best practices, or even to just connect with others within the profession.
“Aggreg8 is a site for IT Pros to mix-n-mingle,” Kevin Remde, an IT Pro evangelist for Microsoft, wrote in a
blog post announcing the service. “You can setup a profile, join groups, enter posts, add favorites, share content, mix, mingle, and learn.”
