Epic: A Web Browser Made For India, By India

While it’s hard for a new browser to make an international impact, one can argue that there are still untapped opportunities on a regional level. For example, Maxthon is hugely popular in China, yet it remains largely unknown internationally. Bangalore based startup Hidden Reflex certainly believes that it can gain sufficient traction by offering a distinctive Indian flavor.

Epic, which is based on Mozilla Firefox, cleverly taps into several already available services to serve content tailored for Indian users. Among other things, it uses Google Indic Transliteration tool to enable typing in Indian languages like Hindi, Bengali and Tamil. The custom sidebar also offers one-click access to regional and national news including live video streams (served by NDTV), cricket match scores, share market updates and music charts. Epic also provides box file backup (through Gmail), mail (Yahoo and Gmail) and social networking (Facebook, Twitter and Orkut) apps. Additional security is provided through ESET NOD32 and WOT. If you want more you can alwaysinstall more apps from Epic’s online gallery, which currently houses more than 1,500 applications. Additionally, since Epic is based on Firefox, it also supports standard Firefox extensions.

On the whole, Epic impressed me with its features as well as overall execution. It’s a lot more than just another Firefox port, which is what I had initially expected it to be. The fact that it is built on top of Firefox, which is already fairly popular, should come to its advantage. Casual users are notorious for sticking to what they are already familiar with. In spite of being packed to the brim with features, Epic does well to keep them neatly tucked away in a separate corner. The additional features doesn’t get in your way. Epic still very much feels and behaves like Firefox. At the same time, the default persona is a bit gaudy and Epic would do well to adopt the new minimalistic theme Mozilla is embracing.

VJEC - my college [1]- "JYOTHIRGAMAYA 08"

എനിക്ക് ലഭിച്ച കോഹിനൂര്‍ രത്നം

 അനുഭവങ്ങള്‍ അത് ആര്‍ക്കാണ് ഇല്ലാത്തതു... അത് ആനന്ദം ഉള്ളതോ  , നെടുവീര്പിടുന്നതോ ആയികൊള്ളട്ടെ. മനസ്സിന്റെ ഒരു കോണില്‍ എങ്കിലും ആ അനുഭവങ്ങള്‍ മായാതെ കിടക്കുനുണ്ടാവും . അതുകൊണ്ട് തന്നെയായിരിക്കാം 1997 ഓഗസ്റ്റ്‌ 15  നു നടന്ന ഒരു സംഭവം ഇന്നും എന്റെ ഹൃത്തില്‍ കേടുപാടുകള്‍ കൂടാതെ അവശേഷിക്കുന്നത്.

ഇന്ത്യയുടെ ദേശീയ പതാകകള്‍ അവിടെയും ഇവിടെയും ഉയര്ന്നുയര്ന്നഗനെ വിജയഗീതികള്‍ മുഴക്കികൊണ്ട് പാറി കളിച്ചു. കുട്ടികളും മുതിര്‍ന്നവരും, ഹിന്ദുവും മുസല്‍മാനും ക്രിസ്തയാനിയും സിക്ക് വംശജരും ജാതി മത ദേശഭേധമന്യേ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യത്തിന്റെ തണലില്‍ ഭാരത മാതാവിനെ അഭിവാദ്യം ചെയ്തു. ഏവരും കടലാസുകൊടികള്‍ നെന്ജിലെട്ടി അഭിമാനപൂര്‍വം നടന്നു.

 2ആം ക്ലാസ്സില്‍ പഠിച്ചിരുന്ന എനിക്ക് ഇന്ന് വരെ ലഭിച്ചതില്‍ വെച്ച് ഏറ്റവും പ്രിയപെട്ടതും വിലപെട്ടതുമായ സമ്മാനം ലഭിച്ചു. കൂട്ടുകാരുടെ കൂടെ സ്കൂളിലെ പരിപാടികളില്‍ ഞാന്‍ പങ്കെടുത്തില്ല.അവരുടെ കൂടെ കളിച്ചുല്ലസിച്ചില്ല . ഒരു വലിയ ആഹ്ലധതിനായി കാത്തിരിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു ഞാന്‍.

AFTER 4 YEARS

wow! i should have wrote this post yeaterday night itself.. but wht to do guys??? after watching that movie ( "mummy and me") my mom said "no net at night"...its all about  a girl who fall in love by chatting..whtever... m not gonna speak about tht.. infact i wanna tell something i value for....

HEARTS CAN BE BROKEN EASILY

 Message beeped in my cell
" sometimes i wish to go back to my childhood coz ,
i now recognize that broken knees where easier to heal than a broken heart"

isn't it  really a true fact?? wht else can be broken as easy as a heart can be???

 grown up kids break parents wishes... best friends becomes enemies for silly reasons...students insulting their teachers by mischiefs... lovers leaving each other in name of fantacy love or due to some factors,, something common now days....

i feel sorry for all these... sorry for people who shatter everything....
where is the bond of love and adjustments?????
it has totally vanished from this arrogant world.......

but who ever read my this post jst take these msg words to soul
" relations can be made easily..broken easily...... but  hard to maintain it"

SOMETHING REALLY PRECIOUS!!!

“Isn’t she a beautiful angel????”

Ah this question may strike a mom image of her baby girl… a lover’s heart with thoughts of his girl…. And what will my mind answer!!!!!!
I will just have a look to my shelf…through its glass I could see a girl sitting in all its beauty enclosed, dreaming something, smiling at me,, near my fav books… that’s my “Angel”!!!!!!

BROKEN HEART

The breeze gave a gentle touch
She came in light pink dress
"Please give this to him,
Don't break, it's our heart!"

I took the gift with care.
Should act as a carrier now
Nothing more riskier to do,
Than keeping his lovers gift for a night..

I dreamt their union!
The sun came from darkness.
Gave a glance at my table
Oh God! the gift is stolen.....

Beat my heart in fear; when i
saw the gift near dad..
Words made a chao in throat;
I was frozen to a statue..

Whole matter made a twist
She was made my valentine
They din't hark to me
To join two hearts; I broke mine...

This weekend was unexpected

Ah this week end was a real unexpected one.... according to the first expectation i would be at hostel due to my CP special class and as per the second expectation i would be at hostel after my trip to rit college for face to face program. but i at my home preparing something for my readers after a long time....... cool....

computer programming class was cancelled coz our madam went as external examiner for practical exam to some engineering college... that was real relief.. or else i would have died writing program codes under the burning sun...

but the cancellation of my trip with ieee friends to Rit hurt me a lot... i missed the chance at the last moments of the trip.. i did really missed varsha,shone, aby, sujith( my friends) anju, lida( my juniors) and melvin ( best brother in whole world)... and the meeting..... it was with a miff tiff at heart i came to my home expecting firings for getting the ever worst marks for internals...
