2010-01-07T10:23:00.003+05:30

The freely available Google Maps mashup enables developers to create real time web applications. An recent article at Labnol inspired me to research on real time flight tracking mashups available online.

Labnol described about a brilliant mashup that displays movement of incoming and outgoing flights from Amsterdam Airport called Casper (link ad suported)which can be configured for some select airports as well.

Below are some more Live Flight Tracking google map mashups. (all links are ad suported)

Gmaps Flight Tracker is a simple mashup which provides inbound flight information on several of the most popular airports in the U.S. including NY, Atlanta, Boston, etc. It works pretty well though it appears to only display flights relatively close to the arrival airport.

Air Traffic Zurich is mashup which shows on-line real-time air traffic over Switzerland and some more countries in Europe.

Flightradar24 which shows live aircraft traffic in the airspace above whole of Europe. Howver only aircrafts equipped with an ADS-B transponder are visible on the map.

Radarvirtuel covers contries like France, UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Cyprus, USA, Canada and Brazil.

Well, if you are interested in finding the real time flight status, any flight across and city in the world, the below link could come handy..

Best tool for Project Planning & Scheduling

2009-12-02T18:05:00.002+05:30

If your work involves lots of planning and scheduling complex projects, i just came across a brilliant and simple project management and planning web-based application, ideal for project managers.

Lot of project managers have been using the Gantt Charts for analyzing and planning, but now with this application planning and scheduling has become much simpler. The tool is called 'Tom's Planner'. Just like Gantt Charts which helps you to monitor whether the project is on schedule. If it is not, it allows you to pinpoint the remedial action necessary to put it back on schedule, the same is available on Tom's Planner but in a more user friendly way. Of all the other online collaboration tools i had reviewed this one seems to be in the top three.

The features of Tom's Planner are so simple and easy to use that anyone who ever worked on excel can operate on the application. The site also has a one minute tutorial briefing the range of features offered by the application. As its is a web-based program, there is no software to be download so users do not have to be concerned with the usual download security concerns or having administrative privileges on the Office LAN network.

Click here to have brief overview of the tool.

Users can right-click to add contents , drag and drop details, and do pretty much everything you'd expect to get from a desktop application. You can also export contend/plan to Microsoft Project, export to an image, or publish the schedule online for your team.

P.S. Tom's Planner services is free during its beta period, after which it go paid, but according to their signup page, anyone who joined during the app's beta will get at least a full year of free service, so it really seems worth a try. Click Here to open Tom's Planner

Do Know the real rockstar from Intel's Ad ?

2009-10-11T08:56:00.002+05:30

-
Intel had recently released a multi-year global campaign to showcase the advances it has made over the chip technology. Do you recollect the recent Intel Rockstar TV Ad ? In this particular Ad Intel had focused on Ajay V. Bhatt, the co-inventor of Universal Serial Bus (USB).

Who exactly is Ajay Bhatt ? Well he is an Indian computer architect working with Intel and currently holds a position of Intel's Chief I/O architect. He has been very instrumental in driving definition and development of technologies such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) and PCI Express.

Just to share Ajay Bhatt himself was not in this Tv Ad, probably because he doesn't want his real fans to recognize him in public. His role in the Ad was played by a actor Sunil Narkar.

Google Voice is in trouble in US

2009-10-10T10:58:00.002+05:30

Google had recently launched its revolutionary Google Voice service. Google Voice allows consumers to use one Google issued number for home, office and cell. The free service also transcribes voice mail and offers unlimited free texting. This service also seems to be a possible threat to the telecoms giants.

However within months of its release the service has landed itself in to trouble with the US regulators. The Federal Communications Commission of the US has set up an investigation on the service to find if Google is violating any telecommunications laws by blocking the connection of some calls to rural areas.

While the FCC has issued an clarification letter to Google, Google maintains that Google Voice is merely a "call management" service — not a phone service — and therefore isn't subject to FCC oversight.

This isn't the first time Google has drawn the attention of FCCs. Couple of months ago too there was a dispute between AT&T, Apple and Google after Apple blocked Google Voice software from its iPhone App Store.

How to undo a just send email on Gmail

2009-08-30T20:11:00.002+05:30

Suppose you had something quite interesting to share with your friend. You go to your Gmail compose option and draft the content and select the recipient from your address book and hit send. And just then to your shock you remembered that instead of your friend you have emailed it to your boss... & Gmail doesn't have a recall option... oops!!.

Well to your rescue Gmail recently added a small handy feature that can save your day.. Activating this feature would hold your email for few seconds after you hit send and you get an undo option to stop the transmission of the email.

Some would find this feature good to have and some whould say why delay the send email even for a sec. Well i would say the feature is optional to the user and infact google should allow the user to have control to set the time for hold.

To activate turn on Undo Send in Gmail Labs under Settings, and you’ll see a new “Undo” link on every sent mail confirmation for few secs. Click “Undo,” and google would grab the message before it’s sent and take you right back to compose.
