Today I have discovered the website Jooce.com, the website provides to build a virtual desktop pc environment for its subscribers. Offered by Luxembourg-based start-up Jooce, it is being billed as a way of personalising any computer. Jooce is targeting the estimated 500 million people who log on to the internet from a cybercafé every day.
I have been using the website for past couple of days to check its usability. I am not yet 100% impressed with its service. The website requires a very high bandwidth connection which is not available in most of the developing countries where most of the cybercafés are. I was quite frequently getting disconnected while uploading my documents to the website's server.
The folder options are quite good-easy to organise. The website has its own media player to play music and videos. So, the users don't need to rely on the cybercafés' media players.
The website also allows its users to log on to popular instant messenger through its server. I have used Windows Live Messenger using the service, but there was difficulty in transferring the contacts. Yahoo! Messenger, on the other hand, didn't work at all.
Overall, it's a good initiative by the people behind Jooce.com to provide the 'CyberNomads' with a flavour of home PC wherever they are, but the service still has a long way to go before it can reap its potential.
Another venture by renowned Humayun Ahmed. The film is a 100% meaningless movie. But this is not a drawback of the movie. Although the movie is completely meaningless, it does bring a lot of laughter. Good movie to kill idle time. Rating 6 out of 10. হূমায়ুন আহমেদের চলচ্চিত্র 'নয় নম্বর বিপদ সংকেত' তাঁর পরিচালিত অগনিত অর্থহীন ছবিগুলোর মধ্যে অন্যতম। অর্থহীন হলেও ছবিটি দর্শকদের মনে হাসির খোরাক জোগাবে। প্রথমদিকে ছবির গল্প খুবই এলোমেলোভাবে শুরু হলেও ছবিটি শেষ পর্যন্ত্য উপভোগ্য হয়েছে।
