Keep XP Alive, Burn Vista Live

Throw Vista away, that's what Infoworld.com have argued that Microsoft should do. Give it a dignified resting place, as a stepping-stone OS, and come up with a replacement that's more sensible for enterprise IT.

Windows Vista was supposed to be a shot in the arm for Microsoft, which had gone five years without a new desktop operating system. It hasn't worked out that way. Instead, Vista sales have been slower than XP's (when adjusted for market size) and there's been a distinct lack of passion for the new OS.

Infoworld.com launched a petition drive to ask Microsoft to keep selling XP after the planned June 30 end-of-sales date. Nine weeks after that Jan. 14 launch, more than 100,000 customers worldwide have signed up.

Corn Flake sold for $1350

Two sisters from Virginia sold their Illinois-shaped cornflake on eBay Friday night for $1,350. The winner of the auction, which lasted more than a week, is the owner of a trivia Web site, Kerr, who wants to add the cornflake to a traveling museum. Kerr owns TriviaMania.com and said he will likely send someone to Virginia to pick up the flake by hand, so it won't be damaged.

McIntire and her sister Emily, 15, listed the cornflake on eBay last week, but eBay canceled the auction, saying it violated the Web site's policy against selling food. The sisters restarted their eBay auction, advertising a coupon redeemable for their cornflake instead of the cereal itself. The McIntires said they'll likely use the money for a family vacation.

Copycat items have popped up on eBay, including cornflakes shaped like Hawaii and Virginia. There's also been a potato chip shaped like Florida, and Illinois cornflake paraphernalia, including T-shirts and buttons.

I was having a look at the coolest cubicle contest from a long time and the result is out today. The pic of a cubicle in the form of a military post has won the $500 amazon gift card from LifeHacker website. This was a contest held by lifehacker from the past one year and the results are out today.

Mark MacAskill, said when he submitted his cubicle, "The war on terror is second only to the war on boredom. And my cube was definitely boring before I transformed it into a weapon of mass destruction". He is now richer by $500. Congrats buddy for your victory over terror err boredom...

Aamir gone bald for Ghajini...

Aamir at last went bald for his forthcoming venture "Ghajini" which is a remake of a bilingual south film with the same name. This was the pic captured when he attended the premiere of the film "Race". Accompanying him was his sweetheart Kiran Rao. But I have a question for you folks, who designed their costumes for this premiere show. Aamir is in the outfit of a waiter from a suburban restaurant and Miss Kiran, looks as if she came running from a beauty parlour, with her makeup half done and her outfit is definitely a salon cloth.

The bald head suites Aamir every bit. Look at the arms man has he just come out of the gym or what. They were not that athletic when he termed Shahrukh as no. 2 just two weeks back. Huh, the perfectionist.....

Quantum of Solace

Quantum of Solace, the next James Bond film, is to be released on 31 October - its producers have announced. The main film shoot, with Marc Forster directing, began at Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire, in January. The title of the film, which follows on from 2006's Casino Royale, is taken from a short story published by Bond creator Ian Fleming in 1960.

The Filming of the 22nd film in the series, and Daniel Craig's second outing as 007, has already taken place in Panama and the United States.

In January, Craig said the title Quantum of Solace made reference to how Bond's heart was broken at the end of Casino Royale. At the end of the last movie, Bond has the love of his life taken away from him and he never got that quantum of solace. Craig said the new film would follow 007 as he goes out "to find the guy who's responsible" for her death.

Windows Vista SP1 released...

The much talked about microsoft's vista SP1 is out and available for download from the official website itself. It was rumoured in almost all the tech websites yesterday that sp1 is going to be released in the first half of 2008 which proved to be an accurate prediction.

As of now there is not much information about what are the new improvements to the operating system or are there any significant fixes or bug removals, blah blah blah. But one thing is that there is not much fanfare for sp1 of Vista.



There is also a rumour doing rounds that XP sp3 is in the offering in the near future. Some websites even predicted a release of sp3 in this week itself. I am eagerly waiting for this release though.

Guess whose pic is it?

King Khan, Bollywood Bhadshah, ShahRukh Khan. Yes its him I guess in his college days. The guys around him might not have any idea beside whom they were standing. None would have expected that the guy standing among them would one day have more fans than Tom Cruise himself.

Down for everyone or just you?

I found this interesting article on lifehacker. It is really useful to us when we are in a bit of doldrums regarding the website you like to visit. It tells you whether the website is down for everyone or just for you. In that way you could just stay calm in case it is down for everyone or look for the problem why it is not working with you.

It works like this, if you are looking up your mail or some video on youtube and it suddenly stops, just copy the url and paste it in this site downforeveryoneorjustme.com and press return and it does the job for you.

I just now hit a wild thought, guess if this site is down too whom should I contact. Go to sleep yaar. Get some rest.

Oh these media guyzzzzzzzz

Grow some brains and some ........
