MVP Open Day

I was at the MVP Open Day 2010 hosted by Microsoft in Hyderabad last month.



It was a great opportunity to meet over a 100 MVPs from India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand & Vietnam & hear about some of the new things Microsoft is coming up with.

More of my photos coming up soon...

TWIL - Week #6

This Week I Learned: Programming: IE10 for the phone and the PC are built on the same engine and use the same renderer which means that what you see on your desktop (or tablet) is what you'll see on your phone. Additionally, the web browser control in Windows Phone apps is a full instance of IE10, with the same speed and power as the native phone browser. An analysis of the world’s top 1000 URLs reveals that page weight increased 28% from March 2012 (822 K) to March 2013 (1053 KB). The median page load time on desktops got ~3.5% faster, and on mobile was ~18% ~30% faster . General: To quickly watch YouTube screencasts: open video in HTML5 mode > cog > set speed to 1.5 Standalone SWF, PDF files can be viewed with Chrome Samsung's cost of materials and manufacturing to produce the U.S. version of the S 4 is slightly above $237 a unit. This is higher than Apple's $217 production cost for a 32-gigabyte iPhone 5, which has a smaller and less-costly display scr...

HOW TO replace a Lithium Ion Battery in a USB Charging Portable Fan or Similar Electronic Devices

Image
I purchased a BAJAJ Pygmy Mini USB Charging Portable fan in December 2023, and it was very handy during the summer. After not using it for a few months, I tried to turn it on one day, but it wouldn't start.  It was beyond its one-year warranty, and there were no electronics shops in my neighborhood to figure out the issue. I discovered that YouTube videos can be a great resource to see if others have faced the same problem and found a solution. I came across a great video on YouTube that showed me how to fix and revive the fan. It turned out that it just needed a new rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Perplexity offered a great explanation about the ICR-18650-800mAh battery type used in the fan. ICR: Indicates lithium-ion chemistry with cobalt (LiCoO₂). 18650 cells are a standard size widely used in everything from flashlights to laptops and e-bikes. The battery size is 18mm diameter, 65mm length (cylindrical format). It comes in a variety of capacities (measured in mAh or milliamp...

This Week I Learned - Week 27 2026

This Week I Learned -  *  Intensive Vibe Coding Course With Google - self-paced Kaggle Learn guide * Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) bridge internal development and real-world deployment by embedding with enterprise clients to build solutions while guiding the product roadmap.  FDEs are the "Technical Special Ops" who bridge the gap (The Delta) between a core product and a client’s messy, real-world reality. * Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and researcher John Jumper won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work on the company’s AlphaFold model, and DeepMind has also made major contributions to meteorology, materials science, and a variety of other disciplines. John Jumper is leaving DeepMind for Anthropic.  * Like Claude Code, Claude Science can autonomously carry out meaningful work when given concise, high-level instructions, and it has access to tools that make it particularly useful for research in computational biology and drug development. C...
