We released both on January 10th 2010 (10-01-10)

A collection of romantic songs embellished by different colours of emotions,My brother's debut album Ninaikkayil (நினைக்கையில்) showcases a melodious blend of voices, styles and genres. Featuring five unique tracks with two additional unplugged versions, Ninaikkayil promises a wonderful, melancholic journey through backdrops set in different moods that slowly unfold from track to track.
Well.. these are not my words

check out http://vettila.com for more details. You can preview all the songs as well as buy the album cd online. Best part is that you dont need to pay anything now, the cash will be on delivery for National (Indian) orders and you can pay through PayPal for International Orders.

And this is my first project. Its a favorite links manager. You can keep all your favorite links organized under several categories with Favo.in. You can add unlimited links. There is an option to add pre-defined links from a Favo gallery.

So i was experimenting how to get it full screen and finally found a solution. Go to device manager and disable the Display Driver. And after you use the compilers and other 16bit apps, just enable it back

You might need to use Alt+Enter to switch to fullscreen.. Enjoy

Now recently Apple answered to the questions of FCC. Heres the question and answer:

[i] Question 1. Why did Apple reject the Google Voice application for iPhone and remove related third-party applications from its App Store? In addition to Google Voice, which related third-party applications were removed or have been rejected? Please provide the specific name of each application and the contact information for the developer.
Contrary to published reports, Apple has not rejected the Google Voice application, and continues to study it. The application has not been approved because, as submitted for review, it appears to alter the iPhone’s distinctive user experience by replacing the iPhone’s core mobile telephone functionality and Apple user interface with its own user interface for telephone calls, text messaging and voicemail. Apple spent a lot of time and effort developing this distinct and innovative way to seamlessly deliver core functionality of the iPhone. For example, on an iPhone, the “Phone” icon that is always shown at the bottom of the Home Screen launches Apple’s mobile telephone application, providing access to Favorites, Recents, Contacts, a Keypad, and Visual Voicemail. The Google Voice application replaces Apple’s Visual Voicemail by routing calls through a separate Google Voice telephone number that stores any voicemail, preventing voicemail from being stored on the iPhone, i.e., disabling Apple’s Visual Voicemail. Similarly, SMS text messages are managed through the Google hub—replacing the iPhone’s text messaging feature. In addition, the iPhone user’s entire Contacts database is transferred to Google’s servers, and we have yet to obtain any assurances from Google ..]]> vishnu http://vishnus.name/blog/profile.php?id=1 <![CDATA[What am I doing these days?]]> 2009-08-09T09:51:18+00:00 2010-05-03T21:59:18+00:00 tag:vishnus.name,2010-05-03:/archives/1/123 hm.. its been a while since I wrote something about me, what I am doing etc.. The last post I recall was about a video made by my seniors. So later that month, I had my second sem term-end exam which as usual I messed up!! and after April, starting from May 18th I was in the campus enjoying Summer Classes for the failed maths subject!! It was horrible. I had to change my room 5 times between 2 blocks! Anyways, later since I had an option and since it was not too expensive, I took Special Mess and single Non-AC room in International Hostel. It was awesome! Everyday morning fresh juice, cornflakes etc. and it was great.

And everyday I had only 1 and a half hour class. It was boring like hell!!! and also hot too.. But there was rain most of the evenings. And for the first time!! I went to Chennai with my friend Parasuram and Sumangala. It was one of the best days coz I went to KFC and McDonalds for the first time in my life!! Thanks to Parasu and Suman.. I made some websites and also some gadgets during the summer. Also redesigned the Gadgets Website: http://gadgets.vishnus.name. Also I made a website for my friends' birthday. I had a friend Robin Mathew, MBA final year, he and another guy Saroon from Mtech were the only friends during the summer.

The final exam was just OKOK.. I only know how I studied.. lol I had few issues with my friends Shivany and Zuberia regarding some stupid things. Its all cool now I guess. Then I had a vacation of 4 days. 4 Rocking days in Calicut! I had a great time with Vinayak, Sharo, Arjun PV, Shabbaz etc.. Vinay was there, but couldnt meet him. Everyday ri ..]]> vishnu http://vishnus.name/blog/profile.php?id=1 <![CDATA[New design for blog..]]> 2009-08-09T08:58:39+00:00 2010-05-03T21:59:18+00:00 tag:vishnus.name,2010-05-03:/archives/1/121 ]]> vishnu http://vishnus.name/blog/profile.php?id=1 <![CDATA[Google Wave.... yay!! :D]]> 2009-07-29T22:02:11+00:00 2010-05-03T21:59:18+00:00 tag:vishnus.name,2010-05-03:/archives/1/120 But my first impression is that..
