Blue Bugle: A Foreword

By VJ
Welcome to Blue Bugle. Ah! Today is a great day for us here. It has been a while since we started the idea of this blog here. And at last it has materialized. Here is the first ever blog post from us, and it’s now a long way to go still.

The real work starts here now. And it’s demanding. Quite a bit demanding indeed. We don’t know where the blog will reach in the coming days. But we have a pretty good idea of what we want, and how to get it. The road is long and tedious. The work is slow and precious. The support is necessary and ever-insufficient.

We hope you will all enjoy this ride with us. The Blue Bugle will be an open technology magazine, where we will share with the readers what we see in the world around us, well the technical world of course. Let me kick-start this game now!

In a recent talk between Microsoft and Nokia, the two companies contemplated a merger. WSJ reported the story  yesterday, and for quite a while, industry leaders have been cogitating on this move.

Five Great Alternatives for iGoogle Home Page Portal

By VJ
Google’s popular home page service, iGoogle will be retired on November 1st, 2013. That’s a little over a year of managing your home page through this service. It came as a great disappointment to me since I had been using the service for a long time. I have a nice home page set up in iGoogle with news from BBC, CNN, and others; my calendar; a widget for time management; topic-specific news on technology, stock quotes, weather; and some other interesting stuff. It was a page that I woke up to for many days. It seems obvious that the popularity of home page services has been coming down in the recent years; another popular service in this arena, Netvibes has turned into something else entirely. I could have turned my attention to Netvibes after they retire iGoogle, but that won’t happen now. I will miss Google’s home page, and before that I want to find out another portal service that I could love as I do iGoogle. In search for one, I found these great services which can replace iG...
