When you think out of the box, this is what is the possibility, you can make something so advanced with something so simple... and that also cheaper than the current available options....
Thanks to Parnav Mistry and Pattie Maes for such a brilliant work they have done.
I bet you will not be able to stop yourself from clapping after looking at the video / future.

Got a good link to convert PDF to Word and that too free.
I checked converting one PDF with Image and Page Header / Footer Margins. And bang it goes... it has converted it very nicely.
Only trade-off was the size of the document, it converted 386kb PDF file to 1.42 mb MS Word file. But never mind, as the quality of output was very good.

Google I/O 2008 was a big event and exposed many Open Google technologies which can be used for making Internet Applications Fast, Easily & Economically.
It shows, at what speed Google is growing itself and making the Internet grow.
I will log the Video links, of this event, available on YouTube. I know it is already 5 months old, but I am trying to make a collection of some important ones (according to me), at one place...
I will divide it in 9 parts, and here goes the videos for Part 1:

Shiffin.Com has come-up with an exciting tool for GPS tracking of BIAL Buses over Google Maps.
This tool is very good and provides not just the location of the bus, but also keeps the pin moving in real-time as per speed of the bus. You can highlight the route (path) of individual bus and even Zoom-in to check the Satllite Image (static) of the location where the bus currently is. More-over it shows the Bus No. and even speed of the bus also.
Bravo, Great Work guys!!!

It is a very nice browser.. is the feeling, I got after using it for an hour or so. So the first impression is good.
But I can't write this blog post using it. So there is lot to be still done. For example it doesn't shows the RichEditBox toolbar as shown below over the Post Body entry box.
Similarly it is unable to show XML content as XML and renders it as html (without tags). These just some examples, I am sure Google will incorporate all such features in coming releases.
The things which I liked about Chrome are:
- Smart use of Screen space (as default feature), providing maximum area for viewing
- Smart use of Status bar, by only showing when it is required
- Google Search directly from Address bar
- Drag tab out to create new window or gather multiple tabs into one window
- FAQ for web developers
- Comics interpretation of key engineering decisions
- Hold Back/Forward button to see history
- Web Inspector: to see the elements and resources associated with the component by right clicking on it, including a hierarchy view of the DOM and a JavaScript console.
- Treating Tabs as independent process (great lesson for Microsoft to improve IE's never ending Crashing problem)
- Open Source
- Text Area Resizing option. Click & drag the bottom right corner of text area to resize.
As this is from Google the company which believes in releasing of rock solid products. And Chrome is still in Beta, so I will not mind the shortcomings and would wait for more features to be added.
Great work guys keep it up...

Going thru the various articles on Virtualization / Multi boot machines to support multiple OS. I have started feeling the need to go for a machine + software configuration which can give me best of all the worlds.
Following are some of the great articles, which I found & might be using some day to configure my dream machine.
So an ideal laptop for this would be a MacBook Pro 2.6Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 200GB+ HDD (7200 RPM), 4GB+ RAM.
huh!!! it goes upto $2999 + $240 for Windows Vista Home Premium.
In Rupees (my currency) it comes to Rs. 140000.00 (approx.). i.e. big money 
Next I am thinking, How to arrange the money for this dream machine!!
For this, I am even open for accepting donations 
if u r willing to donate u r most welcome and believe me it would be a gr8 help to the computing community , just add a comment to this post and I will provide you the details about how u can send in ur donations.
