Good old memories – Literally

Memory cards for your mobile phones, cameras and other gadgets have been common for a few years now. While cleaning some drawers I came across several memory cards from past that are as small as 64 MB in size. Took a few photos for you if you’re interested ( go beyond the break )

This 64 MB card was was part of my first 3G phone back in 2005.

Inside look at BlackBerry PlayBook

While there’s a debate going on about the future of BlackBerry as whole and their only tablet Playbook in particular, I decided to tear open my playbook to see what’s inside. Well, a few things that were interesting are listed below:

  • More than 75% of the device was stuffed with a huge battery
  • Only thing that is noticeably visible other than the battery is the motherboard.
  • Both of these items are lying above an LCD.
  • There are only a few wires and connectors and rest is all clean hardware with minimum connectivity

Here are a few photos of the Playbook from inside.

How did your site look in 1997?

I just came across this amazing web archive. If you had a website several years ago or you want to see how your favorite websites looked like a decade back, this is your best bet. I just dug up and found the face of my websites and it was really great to visit so many websites back in time. For example, this is how the Google logo looked like back in 1998/1999.

And this is how Apple’s website looked like in 1997.
