iPhone 5 Excitement

Following Apple's official annoucement of the iPhone 5, the internet and smartphone market has been dominated by talks of the iPhone 5. Most people are of the opinion that the iPhone 5 isn't much of a game changer as it still has the same old iPhone look that's getting boring despite the change in screen size and also the fact that the iPhone has no news worthy feature. Verdict: Not buzz worthy iPhone 5 is slated to be released September 21st.

Opera mini unable to connect on Airtel

I notice that the Opera Mini browser app on my phone doesn't connect anymore on the Airtel network. Initially I thought it might have been a problem with the particular browser but later found that the Opera Mini did work on the MTN network.

Spy Balloon is such an obsolete technology, considering that they have been around even before World War I, hence would be a waste of valuable resources.
