Siri has created a lot of buzz recently. It is a interesting app and does many things, which we could only imagine in past. It’s like having a personal assistant with you 24/7.
With Microsoft claiming that they have had capabilities like Siri in Windows Phone for more than a year, here is a video showing how miserably Tellme fails against Siri.

Google has more or less become an integral part of our life, largely because it helps us to find whatever we wish for on the web. Most of the times it is successful in leading us to the right website but some times we fail to get the appropriate search results.
You can’t really blame Google for it because in such cases, it’s us who aren’t using the right keywords. There are few features of Google web search which can really help you to land up on the search result you precisely desired for. Sadly not every one is aware of it.
Few of these features are in line with Google’s principle of showing the desired result on the same page so that the user doesn’t have to leave the page.

There has been lots and lots of buzz going around about Ice Cream Sandwich and I was yet to experience it and mess with it. Google had recently released its source and it was expected to see developers jumping onto to port it other devices.
@aospsgs2, a team of Android enthusiasts, have successfully ported it to the Galaxy S2. If you were waiting to get a taste of this Ice Cream, get on the wagon boy!
Although, it’s not complete yet, most of the features are working quite smoothly, like the new multi-tasking pane, new widgets, virtual buttons, newly designed People and Calendar app, gestures such as swipe-to-close-a-notification or tab or opened app or switching to advanced view in calculator and so much more.

The all new Ice Cream Sandwich brings a lot of delicious fun to Android which we’ve already talked about before. Right now, Galaxy Nexus is the only phone that officially supports ICS. For other devices, we’ll have to wait.
But for un-official ROMs, there’s no waiting time. @aospsgs2 has ported it to Galaxy S2 of which I had written a review previously, check it here.
Enough talking, here’s the full guide of flashing it on your Galaxy S II.

King of Dragon Pass is a resource management game which perfectly blends story telling into an adventure game.
You rule a clan in a very well-described world. The history of the world, as well as the myths concerning the myriad of gods that roam the land, play a significant role in your playing experience. Certain cultural habits must be observed. Sacrifices need to be made to the right gods at the right times. You need to keep your people happy and strong.

Although Chrome is well known for its speed and is supposedly much more light weight when compared to Firefox, the recent updates to Firefox (v8) reveal an entirely different story. The Mozilla built browser, which used to be notorious for being the most CPU & memory consuming browser since v2.0 is now shockingly much more light and tab-friendly than the aggressively hyped Chrome (v15).

Foursquare has become immensely popular these days and the joy of ousting people as the Mayor cannot be described in words. But it’s not always possible to remember checking-in in a venue where we frequently travel, the reasons being several (for me, it’s my forgetful nature) .
But what if you could check-in automatically whenever you visit that restaurant/hotel/cafe every time you visit it? FsIntents, an application for Android, can do this for you by using Tasker, Locale as a plugin or simply WiFi, as a standalone app.
