The Geek Hierarchy Chart

Sujoy — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:21:35 +0000

An interesting thing I came across today,(like other things on the Internet) is this comprehensive hierarchical chart enlisting the different categories in which GEEKS (probably like me) can be categorized. Most of the topics have stuff related to Japanese Anime or just Anime, and Sci-Fi fantasies and X-Men comics. The hierarchy arrow pointing downards denotes: “Consider themselves less geeky than”. The Base or the Bottom Most in the Hierarchy is Published Science Fiction/Fantasy Authors and Artists. As we go higher up in the hierarchy, the specifications get deeper and more specifically pointed towards me. Stuff, like Anime Fans who insist on Subtitles, Anime Fans who Use the Term “Japanimation”, Pokemon fans over the age Six, Comic Book fans who only read X-Men Spinoffs, et al. The highest point in the hierarchy is definitely not close to me at all, by any stretch of imagination. It reads-People who write erotic versions of Star Trek where all the characters are furries ….OMFG. For the full chart go Here.

India’s cheapest vs. Pakistan’s “cheapest”

Sujoy — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 18:47:26 +0000

If you missed the NEWS of the year, read this. TATA Motors just launched the World’s cheapest Car costing a dealer price of Rs.1 lakh (2500 USD approx). And more shockingly it looks like this.

TATA promises it to be Eco Friendly, Fuel efficient (20kmpl expected), meets all safety standards ( frontal crash limits as well as off-set and side-impact crash test), and yet somehow managed to be in style.But they claim, this isn’t the first one. As in, the first of the cheapest lot. Pakistan’s take on the Rs. 1 lakh car, aptly called “Sitara”, is manufactured by Habib Motors. And here it is.

But the joyride doesn’t stop here. Visit the official website of Habib Motors, and you will witness an online joyride, somewhat an unmatched experience. The Official website of Sitara is a flash based homepage, with not only the Image Gallery, but also a 360 degrees view. There is an Open Top option, in case you want to have a bit of your sunbath while you drive to your golf course. Available in Two seater and 4 seater models, it sports a 200 cc Four Stroke engine. The real treat is given in the description part of it and you need to read it to believe it. It goes:-

The Sitara city cart is built rugged and strong for harsh local road conditions. Keeping safety in mind, seatbelts in the front and the rear have been provided, with a roll bar and firm handles strategically placed. Soft padding all over adds to the safety and comfort.

And then I just lost it, when I read the bulleted points.

Stylish and functional design
Self Starter
Powerful and dependable 200 cc engine
12 volt battery( when was the last time that was mentioned in auto specs)
Hand brake for parking
Spare wheel ( I feel blessed)
Spare parts available nationwide

Are you still alive? All that description just reminded me of my Final Year project in Engineering. Anyway, it looks quite good for a Science Project eh!

Techkeyla–Hot in 2007

Sujoy — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 20:55:14 +0000

2007 has been a year like never before for the world of Technology and Internet, abuzz with so much to talk about, so much to debate upon, so many doubts to be clarified and so many rumors and speculations made. I was lucky enough to cover a few of these topics and hot news on my previous blog. In my three odd months of blogging for Techkeyla so far, I wrote on topics ranging from Facebook’s “is” in status message being (not) removed to Google’s Opensocial Project to Mixx to Tech rumors floating around to even some random lists generated by my alter-ego. Surprisingly enough, people dug them and even replied to me with their comments. Based on the number of comments, MyBlogLog’s record of visits for each topic, here I have compiled a top 10 list (yeah, yet another one) of the Hot Posts of Techkeyla for 2007. So, here they are:-

These posts are arranged in no specific order. Just the Top most visited, most read and most commented posts on Techkeyla.

Complete Gmail Shortcuts :- This showed how to get a screen of the complete list of Gmail shortcuts in your Gmail Inbox screen.

How addicted to Blogging are you?:- JustSayHi’s widget on calculating your Blogging addiction quantitatively.

5 rumors for the Black Friday:- Had to be in the list. Quite predictable

What is common between Prison Break and Blogging?:- A link to Christin Kayser’s post on Blogging Experiment trying to link Michael Scofield and a succesful Blogger.

Don’t Click Just Roll:- Dontclick.it ,an innovative way for browsing. Are we gonna see more of this soon?

BSOD Questions me:- What is so fake about the BSOD Screenshot on Wikipedia?

Is a lot, too much for Facebook:- Too many apps cluttering your profile page, has Facebook ended its neatorama and joined the MySpace clutter clan?

10 Million Dollar Challenge & Google’s Opensocial is Live:- Both stories of Google, two different things, one big GOOG.

Full length Mixx Review:- The name says it all. I received quite a lot comments and mails on this one.

The Unofficial iPhone Review:-Had to be here despite the fact that there are millions of other iPhone reviews in thousands of languages. There were no comments, but it was one of the most visited ones.

Other posts in the running, which not quite made to the list spanned across Google and Apple mostly, and Mixx coming a close third. A distant fourth exclusion was a post called iJones. Of course, there is definitely a room for error given there were 165 posts to look into, but well, you get my bias,don’t you?
