Wii is the new Revolution

without comments

Well, i had been waiting for a long time for this. Now officially a new name has been give to the ever-so-growing-and-so-popular-but-not-yet-launched Big N console. ”Wii” should be read as “WE”. As the official site says.

While the code-name “Revolution” expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else, Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak…And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd.

Yahoo Launched Translation Services

without comments

While browsing on Internet, i some times i come across some sites which are alien to me, the language is not understandable, as my native language not English, but i can read and understand english, as you have been reading this blog :). So, Babel Fish @ Altavista comes to my rescue.

Babel Fish was hosted on Altavista. If you look at the original Babel Fish site here you will notice that the Footer says “© 2004 Overture Services, Inc”, which actually means that this is a part of Yahoo!

Now Babel Fish has another home, at Yahoo!, and the link is http://babelfish.yahoo.com

So, one more in the bag for Yahoo!.
