Default Inbox
Priority inbox is a cool thing. I have started using it, and I believe that everyone will find it really useful. You can set to open the priority inbox by default, when you login to Gmail. Here is how to
Click on “Settings” from top right corner of your gmail inbox
Go to “Priority Inbox” Tab
Look for “Default Inbox”
Select “When Gmail opens, go to” as “Priority Inbox” from the drop down menu.
Click on “Save Changes”
Hope this helps !

Google officially announced this feature,to let you make telephone calls from your gmail inbox. If you are a Gmail user in the U.S., you can now make free Web-based phone calls to any phone in the U.S. and Canada right from the Gmail interface. You can also make International calls for fees starting at $0.02 per minute.
To use this new feature, you will have to install the Google Talk plugin, which is available here for Windows, Mac and Linux. Google plans to roll this functionality out over the next few days, so it might be a bit before you see it in your Gmail account. Google Apps accounts won’t have access to this feature yet.

No, its not a type in the title, but yes, this is available in some parts of the USA as of now, and is an experimental project.
Now the story is, there is this app, called Shopkick, which will be available on Tuesday for the iPhone and in the fall for Android phones. Customers with the Shopkick app will get points (called kickbucks) for entering a store. The points are redeemable for gift cards at the retailers, along with music downloads or credits toward Facebook games.
So you walk in to a store and there is an audio transmitter inside the shop which lets your phone to communicate with it and let the app know that you are inside the store, and gives you few points for it. Some shops may even have a screen with a bar code displayed inside some part of the store, so you get some extra points for visiting that part, like say, its there in the trial room, so you get points for trying some dress … you get the idea right ?
If you were thinking about walking in and out of a store to get points after points, sorry to disappoint you, but shops can limit this, number of visits qualified per day …
If they put it for this certain shopping mall near my house, I dont mind starting the habit of a morning or evening walk

I am sure you guys have already noticed the Indian government’s plan to launch a $35 tablet PC for students. They are planning to bring it down to $10 in near future. Many of the big gadget websites have covered it.
Is this tablet running on Android Operating system by Google ? Or a modified version of it ? Okay, lets check out two screenshots.
First Screenshot is from a random Android phone. Search android UI in Google and you will find many of them.
Now, let us see how a screen capture from a video report on a National channel about our Indian tablet, ( wish it had a name !! ).
Click on the image above, to view full size. I’ve added the original video also, in case you don’t believe this 
.. So now you tell me, Is Indian government’s new Tablet PC running Android ? Did they announce on the press meet ?
Why Android, and Not Google Chrome OS ?

Okay guys, I tried to stop posting techhy things here. I am doing enough of it here. But, I won’t get sleep without posting this one at least today. This picture is my wallpaper now.
This thing makes me feel like, hmm .. I should get an iPad soon. ( So, if there is anyone getting ready to buy me a gift, you know what to buy )
Now, here is the deal. Flipboard is an iPad app which will present your social media content in a magazine format. Watch the video to know how it looks like, and once you are done, tell me if you feel like getting an iPad
I have no idea when they are planning to release it in India, the iPad that is, and how much it is going to cost, but iPad looks like a good deal to me. Anyone else planning to buy one ? Can I borrow the money please ?
