I shared photos of my new Blackberry Bold 9700 and noted that disabling wireless significantly extends its battery life. While a sleek upgrade, commenters highlighted its limitations in rendering Hindi and Devanagari fonts on OS 5.0.
Using a digital wattmeter, I measured my Dell Latitude E5400's energy draw. I discovered that background color doesn't impact LCD power, while CPU load and screen brightness are the biggest factors. Wireless status had surprisingly little effect.
I show how to create Excel UDFs to detect cell background colors and bold formatting. By using Application.Volatile and array formulas, you can sum or filter data based on cell styles rather than just values.
I walk through my first impressions of Google Chrome's 2008 launch, highlighting the fast installation, the built-in task manager, and features like DNS pre-fetching and the Javascript console's autocompletion while noting some early rendering bugs.
I found a resource for streaming Hindi movies online via Filmnasha. It provides a direct way for you to watch Bollywood films and Indian cinema titles directly within your web browser.
Test your knowledge of 1990s Bollywood with this interactive quiz. I've compiled background music clips from Hindi films released between 1995 and 1999; listen to the audio and guess the movie titles to win.

Can you see browse Hindi websites on Blackberry Bold 9700. Can you see Hindi/Devanagari fonts being rendered on Blackberry Bold 9700 (Blackberry OS 5.0).
The old Blackberry Bold (Blackberry OS 4.6) does not render Hindi.
