Deepfish is a a technology preview unveiled by Microsoft Live labs. What Windows 3.1 did to personal computing, what Google did to search, what walkman and Ipod did to music,  Deepfish is going to do to mobile browsing.

Well may be I got a bit carried away here. But I am very impressed by the concept. I am sure the implementation was equally challenging.

Almost every mobile/Microsoft blog or news site is talking about it. I am not going to repeat it. But I had to blog about it. 

Long thinks its a blessing and concern, but the coolest thing to ever come to internet on mobile phones.

Nathan is shocked at how responsive the app is, letting you zoom instantly...

LiveSide reminds that Deepfish is a prototype technology with limited number of downloads which has already been reached....

on10 has an exclusive video on Xbox 360 V2 which is called the Xbox 360 Elite. Here is a summary

* It's got a black finish.
* It is coming out in April (29th).
* Its expected to cost $479.
* Has 120GB hard drive.
* And an HDMI port.

Clearly this move by Microsoft is to get back at Sony's high-end version of PS/3.

Here is the same video from on10.net on Soapbox.

This is an old video. But every time I watch it, it makes me ROTFL. Enjoy!

We get lost in our little lives given a lot of importance to well small things. And something like this comes by and you get reminded of your place in the universe.

As Andybhai says, this is indeed humbling.
