Sony Vaio Rocks !!!

Yesterday, my laptop got infected with a virus in front of my client. I took her pen drive and plugged it in and went further without scanning. I clicked on a file which was actually a virus. You can say, it was carelessness or unfortunate that I had switched off Vista's Defender and have already removed Norton Anti-Virus (because it's a bigger headache than a virus as it makes the performace of the machine pathetic). At first, my task manager got disabled. And as I restarted my machine, the screen went blank after log in and Ctrl+Shift+Del was not even giving me Task Manager. Bad enough, I could not perform a single action. I restarted the machine thrice just to avoid the embarrasment of an empty screen. Even, safe mode was of no help!

Then I brought in My Vaio's Recovery Tools to picture. From the boot menu, I selected to recover my machine. In a single minute, I was back to the original state of the machine. It cleaned up the virus. And I didn't lost any data !!!

Right now, I am in no mood to put in technical stuff. But must say, I took a lot of time to decide on a machine and I am glad that I choose a Sony Vaio CR series model - CR24G. Sony Vaio Rocks Man !!!

Software - Can Aid In Spreading Awareness!

Recently, while browsing through new ways of software development, a thought crossed my mind. I am not sure if it's already happening or not but why can't software help in spreading awareness among people? Why can't they offer constructive suggestions to people without actually being linked to subject of software? I believe, they definitely can!

Software industry is already huge, and is growing! Today, it touches millions of lives. All that is required is a little space from the software. That space can be utilized to spread awareness among people about anything - Environment, efficient use of resources, diseases, their rights - almost everything! Software could be for an insurance company but messages could be like "Keep your city clean and green." These kinds of messages may sound irrelevant at one point of time, but constant use of it will help in spreading the message.

Today, developing a software is no big deal! Following this, we can actually take software industry to a new role completely. Because spreading awareness is not just the job of government and NGOs. Let us contribute to this as well...
