How Windows 10 can conquer?

It's very easy, just get back the stupid Start button. Yes, that's what the think tank in Bellevue did. From the leaked images of windows 10, one thing for sure, is that the good old start menu is going to be back and it is going to be awesome with added functionality. Now you can add your favorite apps on the start menu, which is incredibly cool. In case you are interested what's in store from Microsoft head over here...

What else do I want in there? For all the compatible devices please give Windows 10 as a free upgrade rather than selling those student, home, premium crap. On top of that, add the basic Office suite as an inbuilt app and auto backup functionality for all docs with at least 100 gig free online storage in 'the cloud'. Have the same functionality irrespective of the platform, may it be desktop or tablet or phablet or a mere phone.
What else do I want, yes make it open source and let the developers do what they want...

Wait, what am I asking for here... A version of Chrome OS from Microsoft... Crazy me...

Hello Ello because...

Been hearing a lot about Ello social network from the past few hours and I don't feel weird yet. I have been through this phase several times before and I will probably be in the same phase several times in the future as well.

What is Ello? It is an invite only social network and it is anti-facebook, at least that is what they proclaim. Currently they are registering around 30000 new users every hour and it is growing. Considering the fact that they had a few hundred members in the last month, this is tremendous achievement. But will they survive the blitz, only time will tell.

When we used to talk about time, in the good old days, it was measured in years but now it's just months or in some cases it's just days. When Facebook came up, all the users from other social networking sites like MySpace and Orkut immediately jumped onto the new wagon as people now a days want something new, every other second. We can't blame them for that, we are all evolving.

Coming back to Ello, can I get a free invite please? Let's see how it plays, and by the way did I tell you it is OK with pron, LGBT and NSFW stuff as well...

I'm smiling because....

What a woman wants???? LOL...

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer when all of a sudden he said aloud, "Lord grant me one wish". The sky clouded and a booming voice said, "Because you have tried to be faithful I will grant you one wish." The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want to".


The Lord answered, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time to think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me".

The man thought for a long time and finally said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand women. I want to know what they feel inside , what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how I can make a woman truly happy?"

God took a deep breath and said, "YOU WANT TWO LANES OR FOUR ON THAT BRIDGE???"

Opera releases Opera 10 Alpha...

I am an Opera fanboy, and I admit it. But why? Just because it caters to all my basic browsing needs and now they are going to come up with a new version of their browser Opera 10. It is still in alpha stage and I haven't tested it till date but would love to. I just downloaded it and will give you a detailed report once I feel that I had a good feel of this brand new browser from Opera.

For those who want to risk the alpha download at your own risk from HERE...

What do you know about Vaastu Shastra???

Vaastu Shastra is a Sanskrit language term combining the words Vaastu, meaning a dwelling or work place, and Shastra, which means a system of science or art. Vaastu Shastra is an ancient Indian architectural science that evolved some 5000 years ago with roots in the sacred Vedic texts. Its principles of building planning and construction seek to bring about an ideal and harmonious balance between humans and the environment.

Vaastu Shastra considers the earth as a living entity from which other living beings spring forth. What makes this possible on our planet is the presence of the Five Elements (Panchmahabhuutas) - Space/Sky (Aakash/Ananta), Air (Vaayu), Fire (Agni), Water (Jala), and Earth (Bhumi). To bring about its aimed-for balance, Vaastu Shastra coordinates these Five Elements with Cosmic Energies and human activities.

The basic rules of Vastu Shastra are based on the eight directions -

Four principle directions:

North (Uttara, ruled by Lord Kuber, God of Wealth)
South (Dakshina, ruled by Lord Yama, God of Death)
East (Purva, ruled by Lord Indra, King of Gods, and Lord Aditya/Surya, God of Sun/Energy)
West (Pashcima, ruled by Lord Varun, God of Rain/Water)

Four secondary directions:

East-North (Ishanya,ruled by Lord Ishanya, God of All Quarters)
North-West (Vayavya, ruled by Lord Vayu, God of Winds)
South-West (Nairutya, ruled by Pitru or Ancestors)
South-East (Agneya, ruled by Lord Agni, God of Fire)

Of these, the East and North are considered the most auspicious.

Virus attack by anti-virus ads, Stay Cool...

What will you do when your browser shows a pop-up which says your system is affected by virus and you should run anti-virus check? This is a kind of ads-spread virus. I take the credit for giving the name ads-spread and even the word corporate-spread. This virus just installs some adtracker in your system and keeps on nagging you to do system check. You can't use your browser and you can't access your files as well. This is strictly for Windows operating system.

I had this attack twice and I fell flat on my stomach but could do nothing but reinstall the complete OS, which by all means is a very bad habbit. But now I guess I know what to do. Just recently a computer in my house has been attacked by similar virus and I was worried what would happen to this. But there was this guy who I guess saved the day for me. When I saw and learnt what he did, I felt bad for myself. I was thrashing myself for not getting such a simple thought.

What he did was he shut down the computer, but before shutting down he turned the wireless internet connection off and then he navigated to the "temporary internet files" folder from the run command and deleted the files in it. I thought why through the run command, pat came the answer, because what ever folders you access you might be affecting those folders as well. Okay now all set I shut down the computer and restarted it. I repeat shut down not restart. Hope the virus doesn't come back again...
