Farnsdick's corollary
After things have gone from bad to worse, the cycle will repeat itself.

The generally slow but busy week for me continues - as nothing much interesting has happened. But here is a gist of stuff that captivates my attention.

Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX launch
It was on Tuesday, that this graphics system, the most powerful video card, ever, was launched. It is certainly not the most expensive - the bragging rites for that go to this little monster, about 130 $ higher. Even then, the 7800 is still a bit expensive for me; and it certainly wont find its way into a casual gamer's desktop.
With graphics systems, being the primary focus of the company, the 7800 is its flagship product now, and we have done a good job with it. You can read raving reviews here and here. The only cons of this chip, according to many - is its pricing.

Blogger has launched free images for Blogger Images, allowing you to insert images into blogs. For free.

This is, of course, great news for bloggers - who needed to have a separate webserver, or use services like Photobucket, Ripway, etc, for inserting images. It also eases the process of inserting images into blog posts.

How many images can you load? Upto 300MB total, for each blogger. That adds up to a lot of webspace.
Have fun blogging. I know I will.

Google seems to be doing a lot these days. Three days ago, it quitely extended Google Satellite maps to include most of the world. Even India - there are deatailed views of the Southern Part of Delhi.

They were hard to find, without a road map version of New Delhi - so I correlated with Map My India

India Gate and Rajpath.

Lotus temple.

Qutab Minar (You can only see its shadow in the center because of the angle of this shot.)
