The state of economy

A friend sent me this cartoon by R K Laxman, who is known for his The Common Man cartoon. I used to love his cartoon in The Times of India.  Here is another one from the great cartoonist.

Seven months, one billion – Way to go Windows Live Photos

Windows Live Photos a new service (more or less a natural extension of Windows Live Skydrive) reached 1 billion photos within seven months of launch according to the Windows Live Wire .

This is a significant part of the more than seven billion photos posted on Windows Live today (most of which were uploaded before we launched "Windows Live Photos" as a separate service). Just how significant is a billion photos? Well, if you signed up for a new account and started uploading one photo per second, you would upload your billionth photo some time in 2040! According to a report by Forrester Research last year, the average owner of a digital camera only takes 28 digital photos per month. At that rate, it would take the entire population of Seattle nearly five years to take a billion photos!

This is a commendable start. While the number 1 billion is really big, its not so big in the world of photos if you compare it to say, Facebook, which sees about same number of uploads every month. None the less, its a good start for Windows Live Photos.

Aero Shake:                                Win + Home (Minimizes all but the focused window)
