Spring Pad -- Digital Diary to the Cloud

Springpad -- is the one note taking app that I simply love and use on a daily basis. So what is Springpad and Why do I use it over Evernote?
Springpad in simple terms, is a note taking app to organize your daily activities or life. I call it as an Organizer for your activities or "Things to Do".
The app has a smooth UI experience and the flow is consistent across the app. The basic app gives you the ability to note down any activity and organize in pre-defined or customizable compartments called "Notebook". So one can create a new notebook to organize things like Work, To read later and so on. 
With an enhanced task manager, you can also set a completion date along with a notification feature to track the task.
With Springpad extension for Chrome, you can simply click on the address bar to add a new item -- a note, task, Clip this page or do a search. Search is an interesting feature as, it is nicely segregates the results in different categories like Products, Place, Movie, Recipe, Book, Album, Wine & Person. 








From your Mobile phone, you can scan bar codes, search nearby addresses, save a photo on Springpad. One can also tag items to search efficiently. Springpad has social elements build in within the app. The content can be shared on Facebook, Twitter or email. 


Since Springpad resides in cloud, you can connect with your phone or computer to get everything or edit and mark task completion from either places.


The best part of Springpad is how easy it to use and maintain. I extensively used Evernote before, but there was a phase where it was loaded with features and lost it luster for a user like me. Springpad is a perfect simple, light app that can be tailored to meet your needs.


Springpad also does a great job in adding functionality to the app on a regular basis. There are tutorials that guides new user on how to use the app and also blogs by the users/company employees on providing some useful tips and hints in using it more efficiently.


Bottom Line - 
Spring pad is not loaded with features like Evernote, but as a simple note and task organizer, there is no better app and simpler app that Springpad.


Springpad is an app that is available on iOS devices, Android and Web app.

To Clean Energy or not?

India is a nation of almost 1.2 billion people. There is an immense need for resources and infrastructure to sustain the growing population and the booming Indian economy to keep the nation moving forward. India also lacks the basic infrastructure at rural areas to provide the basic necessity like power, roads and water supply. It's common in B-town city to have a structured way of "power-cuts" ranging anywhere from 2 hrs. - 8 hrs. a day in summer! For the longest period of time, India has been dependent on Coal, and its power is more or less generated by Coal energy or fossil fuels. Coal as everyone knows is one of the "old" energy technology responsible for carbon emission and India has always walked a tight line, when it comes to Kyoto Protocol aimed at fighting global warming. India is at a threshold to usher in Nuclear energy with a new proposed nuclear power plant in Jaitapur, Maharashtra. The proposed nuclear power plant is no ordinary plant -- The 5 b

1. All eyes on iPhone Sales - iPhone 8 (4 mins) I love reading Bob Lefetz newsletter. He has his own unique way of saying the things that he wants to say where a layman can understand it. " Tech is all about utility, not fashion. And there’s no breakthrough coming, other than a curved screen. You needed a new phone when they went from 3G to LTE. You needed a new phone when they increased the screen size. You no longer need a new phone, especially since the carriers have stopped subsidizing the purchase, now that the true cost is evident. People drive their cars ever-longer, but analysts believe consumers are all gonna fork over a thousand bucks for a fashion statement? Not gonna happen. Otherwise, 3-D TV would have been a juggernaut and you’d be throwing away your present flat screen for one with 4k." http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/2017/05/01/iphone-8/ Bonus article  - Bob had an amazing post last week just before Twitter's quarterly results

Is it the rebirth of Nokia?

Is it the rebirth of Nokia?  The two products that were announced, definitely stands out from the hardware point of view, but is the normal die-hard audience ready for a non-symbian/Meego OS from Espoo? Is Windows 7 that compelling, that consumers will forgo an iOS device with equally great ecosystem or for that matter the amazing choices of hardware that one gets from different manufacturer on Android? I was  disappointed with the device on two fronts. No front facing camera and  absolutely no guidance on US release. I was hoping that from the time Nokia made the decision to move from Symbian to Windows Phone 7 in February, they couldn't leverage the partnership to bake Skype to provide an awesome alternative to cell plans..at least in Europe.  Front facing video calls with Skype and Windows Phone 7 OS could have had a good selling point. Also w ith the direction of XBOX integration in windows phone 7, 512 MB just doesn't cut it anymore. I understand, iPhone 4S has the
