October 16th, 2009 Vijay No comments

Regular Expression is a pattern describing a certain amount of text. Regular expressions are a language of their own.

Wiki defines Regular Expression as follows,

In computing, regular expressions provide a concise and flexible means for identifying strings of text of interest, such as particular characters, words, or patterns of characters. A regular expression (often shortened to regex or regexp) is written in a formal language that can be interpreted by a regular expression processor, a program that either serves as a parser generator or examines text and identifies parts that match the provided specification.

You would have come across the regular expressions patterns regardless of the programming language (Java, .Net, PHP, etc.,).

Third generation iPod Shuffle

March 11th, 2009 Vijay No comments

Today Apple announced the release of  Third Generation iPod Shuffle.

This third generation iPod, is half the size (45.2mm × 17.5mm × 7.8mm) of the last generation but with twice the capacity. This is little smaller than the AA battery.

VoiceOver is a remarkable new feature of the new iPod Shuffle. It also come up with multiple playlist feature and more.

Navigation panel has been removed from iPod; the this is moved to the earphone cord. This change will restrict users to use only iPod earphones. According to me, this navigation panel change would make some users uncomfortable.

However, this small and sleek model will create a wave in gadget world.
