National Treasure: Book of Secrets

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

do u people know what this movie is about???
it is about Abraham Lincoln's murder

why cant hollywood people just leave dead persons out???
they just make up stories so that they can earn money
and finally oneday people will begin to think that is real

for eg:

Stephen Spielberg says "Dinosaurs are hiding in my bathroom"
people are so dumb that they will even believe that and search for them at his bathroom after he is gone

anyways here is the trailer, watch it and comment

Remember Bruce Cambell???

Bruce Cambell, hero of the trilogy Evil Dead
we know him for his funny reactions
He looks like a ghost himself at times in that movies
hehe
he is back with his new movie

"My Name is Bruce"

plot:

Bruce Campbell is mistaken for his character Ash from the Evil Dead trilogy and forced to fight a real monster in a small town in Oregon.

i watched the trailer, its really funny
ya its a comedy movie, we cant expect bruce to gun down demons like he used too
in the older movies at this age
isnt it?
so he is gonna make us laugh

Narendra modi - Some Interesting THings about him



Narendra Dāmodardās Modī is his full name
he has been elected as chief minister of Gujarat now

There is an interesting things about him...

"The Chief Minister of Gujarat state, Mr. Narendra Modi, applied for a diplomatic visa to visit the United States. On March 18, 2005, the United States Department of State denied Mr. Modi this visa under section 214 (b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act because he was not coming for a purpose that qualified for a diplomatic visa.

Mr. Modi's existing tourist/business visa was also revoked under section 212 (a) (2) (g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Section 212 (a) (2) (g) makes any foreign government official who "was responsible for or directly carried out, at any time, particularly severe violations of religious freedom" ineligible for a visa to the United States.

The Ministry of External Affairs requested that the Department of State review the decision to revoke his tourist/business visa. Upon review, the State Department re-affirmed the original decision."

"Mr Modi reportedly married a woman working as a teacher in a poor Muslim area about 100 kilometres (60 miles) from Gujarat's commercial capital, Ahmedabad."


I dont like politics and neither going to like it in future

India has lots of problems and lots of people

Yesterday's Movie at INOX

Yesterday me and marc went to the movie "I am Legend" at INOX in city center
i booked the tickets online for 7.15pm show
marc said he would be arriving at 6.15 but cause of indian traffic jam, he
made it up at 6.35pm
we went to INOX with his discover DTSI, it was a nice ride
though not like my RX100 he he
we reached city center at 7.00pm
we were unable to find the theater
City Center has the worst infra structure ever
The escalators are placed at alternate places and definitely not at the places needed
at 7.10 we managed to find the theater and we bought pop corns and mirinda
which was given to me in a tray, which fell down and one of it got wasted
then we entered the theater , we got the seats E6 and E7
the first scene of the movie has gone
anyways i have seen that movie before that
so i explained marc about the missed part
and then at 8.30, interval
we bought 2 scoops mine is pineapple and marc's is grape
it was nice
then the interval got over
gr9, we missed another scene again
why cant these people put some slides or trailers???
then we watched the movie and got home at 10.00pm
and had a nice goodnite sleep :)
overall City Center Sucks, you can better go for satyam or mayajaal

Coke zeros campaign

Coke zeros campaign
“Life as it should be” is real fun on the Internet. You can direct your own small movie and afterwards send it to all your friends. Coke has found some old b/w film clips that you, as the director, can manipulate by using an easy voice recorder. You can write “the conversation” to your own clip and say what ever you want. Afterwards your movie competes with other movies to be the highest rated. This is living “life as it should be”. Beat your friends to it.

coke zero:

It contains zero sugar and real taste so people having diabetics dont have to sacrifice anything.they got all that they want in this drink.
It takes care of Life as it should be, you dont have to worry about about blood sugar problems since it has zero sugar, it is not going to affect your body except giving you a healthy day starting with this drink.so people enjoy the day with coke zero

Coke zero

Hooded Pitohui

Hooded Pitohui



"The Hooded Pitohui, Pitohui dichrous is a songbird of New Guinea with black and orange plumage.

This species and its two close relatives, the Variable Pitohui and the Brown Pitohui, are the first documented poisonous birds. A neurotoxin called homobatrachotoxin found in the birds' skin and feathers, causes numbness and tingling in those touching the bird.

The Hooded Pitohui acquires its poison from part of its diet, the Choresine beetles of the Melyridae family. This beetle is also a likely source of the lethal batrachotoxins found in Colombia's poison dart frogs.

Common and widespread throughout New Guinea, the Hooded Pitohui is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. "

I never knew that birds can be poisonous , now i have the proof for that
so i should handle cuttie birds with some precautions so that the bird i touch becomes to be "Hooded Pitohui" .......

3 Dramas I watch

1, HEROES


i like this one , actually i watched it at first cause of a south indian acting in this serial (Mohinder suresh) and later i got very much interested in the story
story is about people among us who has Natural gifts

Nathan - he can fly
peter - he absorbs others powers
clare - she is invincible
sylar(villain) - he knows how others powers work once he take their brains off

it has an awesome story line
there had been 2 seasons so far, now i am eagerly waiting for season 3


2,Avatar the last Airbender





I like cartoons, usually cartoons don't have a story but this one has a story after all...

Avatar - a person who can control four elements

Earth Water Land Air

This story happens in a world , there are four nations respective to the elements they can control
but fire nation attacked them and took over the world

avatar the person who is responsible for restoring balance is no where to be found
until oneday a water bender named katara and her brother soka found avatar ang , 12 years old boy frozen under water

once he wakes up, the hunt begins, fire nations wants him death
but ang have to restore balance and bring his honour back

It is really an intersting one, animation is nice
overall its time pass


3, Supernatural




Its about demon hunting stuff
2 brothers out there hunt down demons and save people from monsters
sam and dean , sam has all knowledge and dean has the attitude
chicks love him, he s good looking

i liked dean very much in this serial
nowadays this serial is becoming a bit not very much interesting
cause they keep showing demons and monsters, so got tired of it
but i just watch it for the sake of cool headedness of dean
otherwise i would have stopped watching it.

Movie Tomorrow Night

It is very boring to spend time sleeping at my house and using computers
SO me and marc planned of going to a movie "I am Legend" in INOX or Satyam
We tried getting tickets yesterday by online booking
but unfortunately all the tickets got filled up
we ended up thinking of going to any other movie
but since there are no good movies at this moment
we canceled the plan

But today, i booked 3 tickets for I am legend
Since my sister has Platinum card, we got a ticket free
that means, we just have to pay 150rs instead of 240 + 30servicetax

So tomorrow evening 7.15, we are going for "I AM LEGEND" in INOX
:)

Farscape

Any one remember Farscape???

John Crichton
Aeryn Sun


can u recognize these names???
if you can, then you are my mate :)

Farscape is one of the best scifi drama's ever made
It has a total of 4 seasons
and two mini episodes named "The PeaceKeeper wars"

I downloaded all the four seasons
it was a tedious and time consuming job
but my work gave me nice results

I had lots of fun watching farscape
i was just not able to stop watching it
even after i watched all the 4 seasons
i watched it allover again

"John Robert Crichton, Jr. (played by Ben Browder) is an IASA astronaut who is catapulted through a wormhole across the galaxy, thus setting the scene for the show as a whole. As the only regularly appearing human on the show he is the main focus and (arguably) the main character as he narrates the weekly credits and, thanks to a third season plot device (in which he was duplicated and the two Crichtons spent time on two different ships), he is the only character to appear in every episode.

At the start of the series John Crichton is an astronaut and theoretical scientist in his 30s. As the first episode opens he is setting out to on the space shuttle test a theory with his childhood friend, DK, while his proud father (Jack Crichton), who was also an astronaut in his younger days, watches. However, due to a scientific phenomenon he had not anticipated, the experiment results in Crichton traveling through a wormhole to a distant part of the galaxy, and by the end of the first episode he finds himself on the run aboard Moya with a collection of aliens who eventually become his allies and friends...
"
taken from :http://farscape.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

if any of you out there want any one or two farscape episodes
i can make it available for you if you want
since most of the torrents regarding this drama has been closed
so ppl help urselves by asking me

Driving Class : WASTE OF TIME

Cause of my mom's advice and continuous pestering
i was made to take driving class for 2 wheeler
Dont Laugh you guys
I know, it is crazy but what to do
My parents are allowing me to take my bike out
i used to ride Victor GLX, but my parents say
you should learn from a tutor to understand everything

anyways i ll say what happened there:

Since it was my first class, they gave me scooty to ride :(
I said, i can ride some gear bikes instead
but they said, there are no bikes available by the moment
so pls use this one today

Since they said it nice, i took that scooty
i rode wid it, stupid thing
it dont go faster

I thought there is clutch in scooty (thinking it as a bike absent mindly)
so it was funny, i used front break all the time
it took 4 rounds to understand that i am on a >100cc scooter
hehe
then i used it well

then he gave me sunny
this must be end of days for me
i tried using accelerator , it dint even go half way
damn it
it made me frilling irritating
and that instructor shouted at me
saying that i am not riding well
he compared with another newbie

Give me a break yaar
this is too much
One cant be humiliated this much

first: driving class
second: scooty
third: sunny

Next time, kill me instead of giving me a sunny
i would rather walk and overtake that stupid thing

The Mist ???

I watched this new Thriller movie "The MIST"

It wasn't what i expected
I expected some scary ghost stuff but this ended with a "portal b/w two worlds kinda story"

Taking everything into account like
acting , script and music

Movie is good

People who are expecting emotional things more than scary things
will definitely love this one
cause it does have lots of emotions in it

Eg: The last scene was certainly a twist in the plot

But I expected it would happen ;)

The whole plot was designed with Thomas Jane(David Drayton) as the core
His family was not well explained, it should have been done to get involved with the story...



Overall This movie is fine
But for me, its not very much interesting
My vote goes for "I AM LEGEND"

My New Second Hand Bike: RX100 !!!

I bought my new Bike
Actually its a second hand one
Its 15 years old
It was manufactured in the year 1988, it is 2 years younger to me
;)
But Its age doesn't matter , cause its Yamaha RX100
One of the Legends of the STREETS



I love My bike
i have repainted it and made it look very new
I would love to share the pics , but i don't have my digicam right now
I ll show you ppl later

Most stunts can be performed with this cutie
she s got looks, power , and Brand Name
And She is Rx100

i am unable to say about my bike
words wont convey the feelings ;)
Marc accepted that RX100 s the best
Vino said , he needs a race,
so ppl

CAN U GUESS WAT THE RESULT WILL BE???

I AM LEGEND

Hi Everybody

I watched this movie "I am Legend" yesterday
i mostly don't feel like writing nowadays but this movie
was a master piece , i cant stop thinking about this movie
so am here writing about it


here it goes



Robert Neville, a scientist is the only human alive on earth
with his friend Samantha (dog). This movie is about his everyday life
after a virus spread through the world and which only Neville proved to be immune to it
somehow,

The people infected by the virus becomes less than animals
just feeding on blood and flesh and unable to come out in the sun light
Just like VAMPIRES

Neville keeps radio broadcasting, "If anybody is alive, i can provide food, shelter and security" in a hope that someone might be alive

And in the mean time, he tries to find cure for this virus
and he is close to it
He is mankind's last hope and is the best hope...

this is all about the story line, to say about the acting
i wish i meet will smith in person
it was a mind blowing performance
so much of emotions shown in the movie
it really made tears come from my eyes at the scene in which
he kills his own infected dog with his arms
and his eyes, man it was so full of sorrow
his last companion gone forever and loneliness

Hats off my dear friend :)
And this is a wonderful movie if you like to watch real stuff
but if you like the comedy flicks , then it is not the movie

CG is fine, i think its okay
ppl say that , they should have shown more, but what i think is
what they have shown is good for the movie

Robert Neville is an Legend, we are his legacy ;)


thats all folks
Enjoy the movie

Love


Why do ppl love?
a,
when ppl feel lonely, they love cause they have no one
b,
when everyone around them loves, they do
c,
when sexual interests becomes high, they do
d,
when a person already loved a person and had a breakup and
feels like having the same care again, they do

What is love actually?
Love is a emotion like anger, which needs 2 ppl
male and female
male and male(hehe)
female and female(;))
every lover's deepest thought is sex
in the outer side, u can feel care
to say rudely
"Its all abt having sex"

How ppl get loved?
When a person begins missing u, then its the beginning of love
there is no pt in it bt it still happens ;)

Become a Kid, Can u???

Have anyone thought about enjoying life???
Then the answer for the question is "Become a kid"

Kids asks lots of questions,
they see everything in a new view
they seek answers and that makes them happen

A boy once asked me why does the fan rotates???
hehe
i usually say "if it doesnt , i ll change the fan"
thats usual me

but kids want to learn things everyday

Sages and kids are same

A person who lives every minute and enjoys every single thing as if
he/she is born right now is a sage/muneeshwaran

When a kid grows up, he/she gets used to the things so he/she stops
enjoying the things which he/she once felt wonderful and miracle of life...


So become a kid to enjoy this life
- with love
vijay

Who Am I???

Hi Friends,

I would like to talk about something that we are lacking

That is "I"

Have you ever noticed anything in your life???

you eat, you watch tv

have u ever questioned yourselves, why you are doing them???

Thats what am saying
we have turned ourselves into robots, who just do routine work
in this world...
okies...
let me ask u this
let us assume, u are a chain smoker
you are in a danger of life situation
you are unable to quit smoking
everyone asks you to quit it
you just say, you are addicted to it

is that a perfect answer?
you are not able to control yourselves
then how ll the people around you respect you as a human being
aren't we acting like animals???


Life is all about living, but we dont live it
we have just left it to go by its own accord

Eg:
First time, you learn guitar, you love doing it and you attain pleasure from it
But later, it becomes knowledge and you play guitar without full concentration over it

People ask, when i die, where will i go???
stupid question to ask if you ask me
You don't even know what you are doing right now
what good is it gonna do to you if you know about after life???

Enough with the accusing ,
now i ll just say what one should do to enjoy life

Do your job with full concentration,
Question yourselves about why you are doing a certain thing

eg:
you move ur hand here and there, see why you do that

you whistle , when a girl crosses by [;)]

understand and live

Thanks everybody for reading this,
I am happy that people can learn from my experiences
My errors

- With Love
Vijay

Wives (FUNNY)

I came across this mail in my inbox
its about north and south indian wives
read it and enjoi



Wives from North:

1. At the time of marriage, a north Indian girl has more boyfriends than her age.
2. Before marriage, she looks almost like a bollywood heroine and after marriage you have to go around her twice to completely hug her.
3. By the time she professes her undevoted love to you, you are bankrupt because of the number of times you had to take her out to movie theatres and restaurants. And you wait longingly for her dowry.
4. The only dishes she can think of to cook is paneer butter masala, aloo sabji, aloo gobi sabji, aloo matar, aloo paneer, that after eating all those paneer and aloos you are either in the bed with chronic cholestrol or chronic gas disorder.
5. The only growth that you see later in your career is the rise in your monthly phone bill.
6. You are blinded by her love that you think that she is a blonde. Only later do you come to know that it is because of the mehandhi that she applies to cover her gray hair.
7. When you come home from office she is very busy watching "Kyonki saas bhi kabi bahu thi" that you either end up eating outside or cooking yourself.
8. You are a very "ESpecial" person to her.
9. She always thought that Madras is a state and covers the whole of south India until she met you.
10.. When she says she is going to "work out" she means she is going to "Walk out"
11. She has greater number of relatives than the number of people you have in your home town.
12. The only two sentences in English that she knows are "Thank you" and "How are you"
13. She thinks Govinda can dance better than Michael Jackson.

Wives from South:

1. Her mother looks down at you because you didn't study in IIT or Madras or Anna University .
2. Her father starts or ends every conversation with " ... I say..."
3. She shudders if you use four letter words.
4. She has long hair, neatly oiled and braided (The Dubai based Oil Well Company will negotiate with her on a 25 year contract to extract coconut oil from her hair.)
5. She uses the word 'Super' as her only superlative.
6. Her name is another name for a Goddess or a flower.
7. Her first name is longer than your first name, middle name and surname combined (unless you are from Andhra)
8. When she mixes milk - curd and rice you are never sure whether it is for the Dog or for herself.
9. For weddings, she sports a mini jasmine garden on her head and wears silk saris in the Madras heat without looking too uncomfortable while you are melting in your singlet.
10. She thinks Mohan Lal is the sexiest man alive.
11. Her favourite cricketer is Krishnamachari Srikkanth.
12. Her favourite food is dosa though she has tried North Indian snacks like Chats (pronounced like the slang for 'conversation')
13. She bursts into songs with her cousins in every movie.
14. She bores you by telling you which raaga each song you hear is based on.
15. You have to give her jewellery, though she has already got plenty of it.
16. Her thali (Mangal Sutra) weighs more than the championship belts worn by WWF wrestlers.
17. She is more educated than you.
18. Her father thinks she is much smarter than you.

Cappuccino Coast ;)

Suddenly the shoreline north of Sydney were transformed into the Cappuccino Coast. Foam swallowed an entire beach and half the nearby buildings, including the local lifeguards' centre, in a freak display of nature at Yamba in New South Wales.

One minute a group of teenage surfers were waiting to catch a wave, the next they were swallowed up in a giant bubble bath. The foam was so light that they could puff it out of their hands and watch it float away.

Boy in the bubble bath: Tom Woods, 12, emerges from the clouds of foam after deciding that surfing was not an option

It stretched for 30 miles out into the Pacific in a phenomenon not seen at the beach for more than three decades. Scientists explain that the foam is created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed. All are churned up together by powerful currents which cause the water to form bubbles. These bubbles stick to each other as they are carried below the surface by the current towards the shore. As a wave starts to form on the surface, the motion of the water causes the bubbles to swirl upwards and, massed together, they become foam.

The foam 'surfs' towards shore until the wave 'crashes', tossing the foam into the air.


Whitewash: The foam was so thick it came all the way up to the surf club

'It's the same effect you get when you whip up a milk shake in a blender,' explains a marine expert. 'The more powerful the swirl, the more foam you create on the surface and the lighter it becomes.' In this case, storms off the New South Wales Coast and further north off Queensland had created a huge disturbance in the ocean, hitting a stretch of water where there was a particularly high amount of the substances which form into bubbles. As for 12-year-old beachgoer Tom Woods, who has been surfing since he was two, riding a wave was out of the question. 'Me and my mates just spent the afternoon leaping about in that stuff,' he said.

'It was quite cool to touch and it was really weird. It was like clouds of air - you could hardly feel it.'


Children play among all the foam which was been whipped up by cyclonic conditions.

network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.
When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.


2. Alter the entries as follows: Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30 (mine is set to 100..hehehe).
This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
If you're using a brodband connection you'll load pages 2-30 times faster now.

Safari

Safari is a web browser developed by Apple Inc. and included in Mac OS X. It was first released as a public beta on January 7, 2003, and a final version was included as the default browser in Mac OS X v10.3.

A beta version for Windows was released for the first time on June 11, 2007.

12 Reasons you will love it.....

1.Blazing performance.
The fastest web browser on any platform, Safari loads pages up to 2 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2.
And it executes JavaScript up to 2.8 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2.What does all that mean for you? Less time loading pages and more time enjoying them.

2.Elegant user interface.
Safari’s clean, sleek look lets you focus on the web instead of your browser. The browser frame is a mere one pixel wide. You see a scroll bar only when you need one. You see no status bar by default — a blue progress bar fills the address field as the page loads — giving you more room to browse and view the web. And with commonly used tools like a Google search field built right into Safari, you can get anywhere on the web faster.

3.Easy bookmarks.
Safari makes it easier than ever to manage your bookmarks. Know iTunes? Then you know Safari bookmarks. One click opens the single-window interface, where you can browse, search, and organize bookmarks the same way you browse, search, and organize music in iTunes.
Importing your current bookmarks couldn’t be simpler. In fact, the first time you open Safari, it imports all your bookmarks from the browsers you’ve been using. And if you want to import bookmarks later, just choose Import Bookmarks from the File menu.
Safari even helps you find sites to bookmark. Using the innovative Bonjour technology, Safari discovers and shows devices such as printers, routers, and webcams associated with web servers on your local network — automatically.

4.Pop-up blocking.
Say goodbye to annoying pop-up ads and pop-under windows that clutter up your desktop and distract you from your browsing.By default, Safari blocks all unprompted new windows. You can open new windows when you click links, but you’ll get no surprises from unexpected, unwanted pop-ups.

5.Inline Find.
Now you can locate any text on any web page using the Find command in Safari. Type a word into the new integrated Find banner under the bookmarks bar, and Safari shows you the found count and highlights matching terms while dimming the page below them. So you can view every instance — in an instant

6.Tabbed browsing.
With tabbed browsing in Safari, you can open and switch between multiple web pages in a single window. Drag and drop your tabs to rearrange them, open one in a new browser window, or merge all your current windows into one tabbed window.Safari resizes each tab depending on the number you have open. Set a bookmark for a set of tabs or revert to the tabs that were open when you last closed or quit Safari

7.SnapBack.
With most browsers, it’s easy to lose your way on the web. You go surfing, and before you know it, you’ve drifted far from where you started. Stop hitting the Back button and start using SnapBack in Safari. SnapBack lets you instantly snap back to your original search results or to the top level of any website, even after you’ve browsed down a few levels.
The SnapBack icon appears in the search field after you click a link in a search results page. Clicking the icon takes you back to the results page and even scrolls to the specific location you last viewed.

SnapBack also works in the address field. Type an address, click a bookmark, or click a link in email or another application, and Safari creates a SnapBack anchor point. When the SnapBack icon appears in the address field, click it to return to that anchor point instantly. So, if you type in the address of your favorite news site, click a link to read an article, then click another link, the SnapBack icon will take you back to the front page of the original news site

8.Forms AutoFill.
Now you need never fill out an online form from scratch. That’s because Safari Forms AutoFill completes online forms with information from your Address Book or from previously completed forms.Let Safari fill in your name, street address, city, zip code, email, and other information. Safari also gives you the option to automatically enter account names and passwords — all stored in a secure, encrypted format.

9.Built-in RSS.
Scan all the latest news, information, and articles from thousands of websites in one simple-to-read, searchable article list delivered right to you. The built-in RSS (Really Simple Syndication) reader in Safari tells you when new articles or blog posts have been added to your favorite sites, so you never have to guess.
Whenever you land on a page that offers an RSS feed, Safari displays an RSS icon in the address field. Click it and you view the simple RSS feed. Bookmark it and Safari tells you how many updates have been added since your last visit. The RSS view in Safari is customizable, so you can adjust article length or sort and filter articles by date, title, and source. You can also use the built-in search field to find articles relating to topics of interest. All from one place: Safari.

10.Resizable text fields.
Maybe the text field you’re typing in is a bit too small to read. Or maybe you just have a lot to say. Either way, Safari lets you resize text fields on any website, just by grabbing the corner of the field. Resize a field and the web page reflows to make room

11.Private browsing.
Your browsing is your business. Which is exactly why Safari offers private browsing — to keep your online activities private. Turn on private browsing and Safari won’t store your Google searches, your cookies, the history of sites you’ve visited, your download history, or information from online forms you’ve filled out.
If you’ve been browsing without private browsing turned on, just use Privacy Reset to empty your cache and clear Safari of your browsing, forms, and search history. It’s a one-click clean slate

12.Security.
Now you can enjoy worry-free web browsing on any computer. Apple engineers designed Safari to be secure from day one.
For starters, Safari uses robust encryption to ensure that your private information stays that way. When you browse a secure site, Safari displays a lock icon in the upper-right corner of the browser. If you want to know more about the credentials of a secure site, click the lock icon and Safari displays detailed information about the site’s security certificate.
Safari supports SSL versions 2 and 3, as well as Transport Layer Security (TLS), the next generation of Internet security. Safari uses these technologies to provide a secure, encrypted channel that protects all your information from online eavesdroppers. And Safari lets you use standards-based authentication such as Kerberos single sign-on and X.509 personal certificates, or proprietary protocols like NTLMv2 to log in to secure sites.
Safari also supports a variety of proxy protocols — services that help firewalls control what flows in and out of the network — including Automatic Proxy configuration, FTP Proxy, Web Proxy (HTTP), Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS), Streaming Proxy (RTSP), SOCKS Proxy, and Gopher Proxy

Apple's fight against iPhone unlocks may result in expensive bricks

Apple will actively work against any SIM unlocks of the iPhone, says Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Jobs made the comments during a Q&A session that took place after yesterday's press event in London announcing availability details of the iPhone in the UK. When asked by a journalist whether unlocking was a concern for the company, Jobs said, "It's a constant cat and mouse game," according to ComputerWorld's account of the discussion. "We try to stay ahead. People will try to break in, and it's our job to stop them breaking in."

The break-ins that Jobs spoke of have been flying fast and furious in the last month or so. One of the first full SIM unlocks involved using a Turbo SIM card, a somewhat complex process for the average consumer. Then teenager George Holtz published a way to hardware unlock his iPhone with some soldering iron-fu and released instructions for other adventurous unlockers. But none of this was "big" news to the world until the first (commercial) software unlock of the iPhone was announced by iPhoneSIMfree. This sent waves through the iPhone community to push for a free unlock from the iPhone Dev Team, which was achieved just this week with the release of iUnlock, followed by the GUI app to go along with it, anySIM. This app began to appear in the third-party iPhone software update app, Installer, which enabled many iPhone users to install the unlock and experiment with ease.

RapidLeech! A cool script!

Well, Marc posted a Rapidshare solution on his blog, Here. I just gave a try.

First up, I tried on 9999mb.com, xlphp.net, 1500mb.com. All of the 3 accepted PHP files, but returned the same error ERROR OPENING SOCKET[rapidshare.com:80] I got frustrated.

Then I went into their forums, saw the guy who wrote the script, was using DajooB for a server. I went there, and guess what, they had no file size restrictions and limitations! I regged an A/c Rightaway, then uploaded the script in my FTP. Oh, an Important step is to CHMOD 777 the rapidleech folder..(Default is 755) then pasted a RS.DE Code, Had to wait for 100 seconds and there ya go! The script started downloading at 645KB/s. incidentally Rapidshare’s maximum download speed is 2 MB/s. So no trouble at all!

My failed attempts:

http://pastmaster.9999mb.com/rapidleech/

Try to set an account at dajoob and try it out guys! Its uber-swet method!

BSNL 2 mbps Upgrade - Hot Topic!

I can observe that BSNL 2 mbps upgrade has become a Hot topic nearly in all Tech Forums, blogs etc. Here is the LINK to one such discussion. Apparently, expectations are very high that Existing plans will remain the same, except for the upgrade in Speed.

By the way, Vinod has given some interesting info that I am not aware of. Is it necessary to change routers for this upgrade?

Sex lighter dealer arrested in Kerala

The wholesale dealer of a sex lighter was arrested in Kottayama yesterday for selling the product which was reportedly selling like hot cakes among school students.

Kottayam superintendent of police S Sreejith said: “When the lighter is lit, a picture of a lady in a compromising position pops out.”

Priced at Rs 15, the lighter was very popular among schoolchildren. The matter surfaced when a schoolboy gifted the lighter to a girl in his class. The girl’s parents approached the police and they tracked down the wholesale dealer.

Wonder if anyone of you has managed to get his/her hands on the sex lighter. Sounds like a sexciting product though definitely not for school children.

Saddam Hussein

Saddam Hussein, 69, was sentenced to death for crimes against humanity in ordering the deaths of 148 Shia residents of Dujail, north of Baghdad, after an assassination attempt in 1982.

An appeal is due to begin immediately and deliberations are expected to last one month although no date has been set to announce the final decision.

If the nine-judge appeals panel upholds the verdict, Saddam Hussein will be hanged within 30 days of its ruling.

President Bush calls it, “a major achievement for Iraq’s young democracy and its constitutional government.”

In Iraq, some are celebrating it and some are protesting….

MUZIC

My 2500 watts audio system was lying unused simply because it was such a bother to burn MP3s to CD and then to play them on it.

I thought of a much more comfortable way to listen to music with it. I already had a jack that lets me use ordinary headphones with my phone. And I had the correct cables to interface the phone and the auxiliary sockets of the audio system so I did.

Now I can use the phone’s display, playlists and media library for a much more comfortable experience. I have Rammstein playing in the background. The 1 GB memory card on the phone helps too.

Vista

Microsoft announced that Windows Vista, the next version of the Windows OS, is set to be released on January 30, 2007.

Lets hope that this is the final date and it does not get delayed again. It is after five years that Microsoft is going to release the next version of its OS. XP was released five years ago.

The minimum requirement for Vista is a 800 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM and a DirectX 9 class graphics card.

To enjoy Vista’s high-end features, a 1.0 GHz processor, 1 GB main memory and an Aero-compatible graphics card with at least 128 MB graphics memory and supporting the new Windows Display Driver Model will be needed.

Nooooo…. My RAM is 256MB and my graphics memory is 64MB. What a bad luck…

DON

After Dil Chahta Hai and Lakshya, Farhan Akhtar’s remake of the 1970s hit Don is set to release this week. While the original version featured superstar of the day Amitabh Bachchan, remake has the one and only King Khan Shahrukh in the central roles. The film was written by Farhan’s father Javed Akhtar with his partner and Salman Khan’s father - Salim Khan.

The craftsman Akhtar says it’s for sure that the new age ‘Don’ is going to be one hell lot of a roller coaster ride! Priyanka Chopra, who has been getting the best of the projects launched this year got this one too in her kitty and did the Zeenat Aman act.The promos are very stylish and exciting. The film is bound to generate comparisons and judgments.

I saw its trailer and its awesome. I am waiting for this movie.

India WinZ>>>

Well Finally India defeated Pakistan in India after 24 years I think. The series ended 3-2 for India. I guess it was mainly because the Pakistan side was weaker one in this tournament. Once again Sachin missed his century and this time by three runs. Last time he missed it by one run. This is the 6th time he missed his century in this year alone. Total number of times he got out in 90s moves now to 16!!! Its the highest number of times. The second highest is 9 times. Well Sachin is indeed creating records in everything. He by this time was supposed to have 48 centuries or so. Well I guess Sachin likes getting out in 90s. His shot that gave his wicket to Pakistan when he was in 97 was not the shot that a player usually plays when he is in 90s. I guess he was desperate to score the century and thats why he went for that shot. He could have left that delivery. Well India should think of surviving in Australia when they play against them in Australia. Already they are punishing Sri Lanka with everything they can. The new opener for Australia PA Jaques is doing the job of Langer. Lets see if India can win there.

F1 RACE!!!

Kenneth pointed out the Force India F1 Team website in a Twitter update so I decided to check it out.

The page loads with a rather dull intro and the actual page is decent looking. Nothing fancy. The tricolour animation on the menus was a bit silly.

Force India F1 Team


Even though the team is going to flop badly in the next season (all new teams do) it is still nice to see India competing in such an expensive international sporting event. The only other team to have the name of a country in its name is BAR (British American Racing). Now we have a home team to cheer, even though the only things Indian about the team are its owner and its name.

DSP!!!

DSP. Also known as the Degree Stopping Paper (since you just can’t pass the damn thing).

I had such a hard time studying for it. It was a vile mixture of filters and signals and functions with formulae thrown in here and there to make the whole thing more painful. See Vinod’s post here. It was literally painful studying for the subject. I was sitting with the book open well past midnight unable to concentrate for even two minutes on the subject.

So not worth it, man.

Bastards.

What possible use could I have for DSP? I will never use it in my life. My career is not going to suddenly require a knowledge of signal processing. I’m in the computer science stream for a reason. To learn about computers and software engineering processes. Not electronics. If I wanted to learn electronics I would have taken ECE or EEE!

Sony W810i




My old cell Nokia 1100 (more than one million of it were sold and its still being used by many around the world) had some problem. I was unable to talk for more than 15 or 20 minutes whenever I used to get calls from someone even when the battery charge was full. After 20 minutes it shows battery low. So I decided to change the cell. My brother was telling about buying motorola razr for a long time. But I insisted him to go for this model because I knew that he will give the cell after few months to me as this happens usually. So I went through some models and finally decided to go for Sony W810i. Its really a nice model with cool features. I have to download games and some themes for it. I am checking its features. Its not that difficult while typing message in Sony. Just one problem compared to Nokia 1100 is that its taking a bit more time as the keys are very near to each other. Camera is nice and the interface is good. Well I guess i wont use it for sometime. My bro gave me on the very first day. Then he said he’ll use it for few weeks or months and will give me later. :)

International Students’ Day

It seems today is International Students’ Day. I never knew this ;) . I was just going through wikipedia just a while ago and I came across this. But it seems some universities celebrate it some other day because of some political reason. I don’t know whether Anna University celebrates it. I am sure our college wont celebrate it ever in future also. I’ll be surprised if our college celebrate even a small function where students can enjoy for a while.

printf statement

printf statement plays lot of tricks with those who are always new to the C programming language. Consider the following statement which I was informed when I was doing my second semester
int i=5;

printf(”%d %d %d”,i,++i,i++);

The output predicted by most of the students is usually 5 6 6. But this is not the actual output for this statement. The printf statement usually is handled by the compiler from right side to left side. So it starts from i++ first. Here the initial value of i is 5. So when it reaches i++ statement the value remains the same (its a post increment) and the next step is ++i which is pre increment step and the value of i becomes 7 (coz the i++ increments the value of i after it reaches the next step i.e. ++i). So the final value of i is 7 here.

But while printing the printf statement executes in the normal fashion as we expect it to execute. So it prints the value of i first followed by ++i and finally i++. So the actual output for this statement is 7 7 5.

For those who know this please dont mind about this post. For those who dont know this hope you find it useful (though mostly all will be knowing it ;) But still many dont know this coz I’ve asked many about this and many still struggle in this).

I’ll ask an important question in the next post which i think many C program lovers will like.

Cheers!!!!

interesting facts and programs related to C programming.

Here are some interesting facts and programs related to C programming.

* We all know that to print something in the output screen we have to use printf statement and a printf statement statement ends with a semi-colon according to the syntax. But to print something in the output screen without using semi-colon we can make use of if statement with printf statement. Try executing the following code in Turbo C after including the header files.

void main()

{

if(printf(”Hi”))

{

}

}

The Hi given inside the printf will be displayed in the output screen. Since I didnt use the getch() statement, you’ll have to press alt+F5 to view the output screen. I’ll post few other small programs later which you may find useful for debugging competitions in other college symposiums.

Yours buggingly

Three things I hate in Firefox

Well, there are three things that I don’t like using firefox.

1. It takes 5 seconds to open when system is booted initally. Opera took 1 second.

2. Firefox’s download manager SUCKS! Opera’s download manager is no better though.

3. MEMORY HOGGER! MEMORY PIG! Firefox eats up 120 MB RAM when I opened 10 tabs! Opera took only 35 MB!!

The best thing I like about Firefox : Support for Extensions and Java scripts.

Pay and download firefox?!

Yes, it really sucks.. But the Microsoft guys did it again.. They claim that Microsoft Firefox is far more better than Mozilla firefox. But the System requirements are completely ridiculous.

I don’t know if this is a joke or not.. but here’s the link to the page.

http://www.msfirefox.com/download-microsoft-firefox.html

You need to pay and download their firefox that has HEAVILY high system requirements!

PS: Quadcore processor?!

Prince of Persia, an awesome game has three sequels, “The sands of time”, “Warrior within” and “The two thrones”. I am at present playing “Warrior within” because “The sands of time” is not working in my system coz my system does not support that game but supports the other two.

“Warrior within” is really a cool game. Give it a try. The graphics is good, music is good and the moves made by the prince is really cool. Its worth playing. here are some pictures from the game “Warrior within”.

HP 7 Lands

I think mostly everyone would have finished reading The last book of Harry Potter series. The final book was not as expected. I expected her to tell what happened to harry and others after the dark lord died. She didnt mention what happened to the death eaters after the dark lord was killed by the boy who lived. She just stopped it without any proper ending. The epilogue was even worse. I expected her to tell what was harry’s profession at least in the epilogue. But there also she failed to tell what was the profession of harry and others.

I was reading The Hindu dated August 1, 2007 on the next day and came across the following (sorry for posting this so late. I’m very lazy and was busy with symposiums conducted by other colleges). So the profession of harry and others is given below.

->Harry was named head of the Auror Department under the new wizarding government headed by his friend and ally, Kingsley Shacklebolt.

->His wife Ginny Weasley, stuck with her athletic career, playing for the Holyhead Harpies, the all-female Quidditch team. But she left the team to raise her three children-James, Albus and Lily-while writing as the senior Quidditch correspondent for the wizarding newspaper, the Daily Prophet.
->Ron Weasley joined her brother, George, as a partner at their successful joke shop Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes.

->Hermione Granger, Ron’s wife furthered the rights of subjugated creatures, such as house-elves, in the Department for the Regulation and control of Magical Creatures before joining the magical law enforcement squad. their children names are Rose and Hugo.

-> Luna Lovegood becomes a famous wizarding naturalist who eventually marries the grandson of Newt Scamander, author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

These informations were given by J.K. Rowling herself in her chat with Dainel Radcliffe.

BLUE CROSS

This is the worst week in my life,
I live in a colony where stray dogs are more
our colony people feed them
near my house , we used to feed a dog
it was like a pet to all of us
the day before yesterday ,it was hit by van
it was howling and we were afraid that it would die
so we called for "Blue Cross"
at first they noted the address and after 2 hours there
was no sign of them coming
so we called them again, now these fucking bastards are
saying bring it there and with the help of our colony
people we took it there
and a day went and today when our colony members went to visit
the dog, they are saying that the dog will die
and they are saying to take it back
they didnt even give a basic treatment,
so our colony members took it to a hospital
and now its treatment is going on,
i think it will be saved

Blue Cross - they are worst ass holes, i had ever seen.
Eating the money from the shit of animals, for this worthless
job , they could take begging as a profession

Animals are more human than the Humans
these people forgot the fucking humanity

Premonitions

Hi people,

U might have wondered i am talking about this only because i watched "Final Destination"
ya i have, buy its not the matter here,
i myself had encountered with these type of things
Ya when i was young, We had a meeting to attend in Madurai ,in tamilnadu . I like going there cause there were friends of mine in madurai but i felt like not going cause of something unknown feeling , i dont know what it is, i felt that i shouldnt go and i cried to make them not call me with them but my fate was more powerful , i went in a bus to madurai but in a intermediate place between nagerkovil and madurai there is a placed named kayatharu , our bus meet with an accident there and the driver was spot out and the seats upto my seat was badly damaged and my mother's eyes hit the handle of the chair and her eyes began to bulge and my grandma's lips tore off and it was hanging and people were badly injured, and the greatest thing is that a single person survived without a single scratch and its me and i saw many people cry of pain and after 10 min i was thrown out of the bus by my copassengers to save me if my bus explodes and i still remember everything that happened that day.
Death was merciful on me on that day.
Thanks death.
I think premonitions are possible , its just a feeling which says something is wrong with the equilibrium and if we are talented enough to understand the words of our mother nature , we can avoid it.

Amityville: Horror or an Makeup story

This is the warrens

hi dudes,

i have come up with a world known mystery which has induced many people wonder "Ghosts are real!",ya dude,its rite,its the famous "Amityville horror"
Amityville is a small town in New york, it is famous for its so called haunted house
The begining of the story is "In 1974. The Ronald Sr. and Louise defeos lived in a house with their two young sons, Mark and John, and two daughters, Dawn and Allison, were sleeping peacefully in their comfortable in a three story Dutch colonial.The silence of the house was shattered when Ronald DeFeo murdered his parents and his family members with a high-powered rifle. One by one, he killed each of them as they slept, although strangely, the sound of the gunshots never awakened the other family members."
This is the starting of the great horror .
In his trail, Ronald DeFeo blamed that he was under an influence of an evil spirit while this accident took place, But the magistrate was not a fool to beleive this lame story and he sentenced him with a 150 years in prison.

And the next part is a bit interesting one,on December 18, 1975, George and Kathy Lutz.a young couple bought the house on Ocean Avenue for $80,000. Just a week before Christmas, they moved there with Kathy’s three children from a previous marriage.

The point is they began to experience unearthly presence, ghostly appearance, masked men moving around,and some of the poltergeist phenomena.
they called for exorcism but they say that they heard a unearthly voice which said the priest to go out,so the exorcism was a premature one.
George was also possesed by the evil spirit.

In February 1976,They left the house,they only spend 28 days in that house
they didnt even return to get back their possesions.
Ed and Lorraine Warren, two of America’ most famous “demonologists” was called for,They confirmly said that there is a evil presence in this house,and they backuped the story.

Kaplan had discovered that the “Amityville Horror” was pure invention.kaplan was also a famous paranormal investigator, he didnt seen to find anything abnormal.

And then a new family,Jim and Barbara Cromarty entered the house and they also maintained the story.

Kaplan had a great proof that it is a fake and he wrote a journal which was not published until his death, He died soon.

At that time, those Lutz family earned lots of profit cause of this haunted stuff and this place became a tourist spot.

The proof kaplan had was Defeo is made to lie in the court that he was possessed by some evil spirit by his lawyer to reduce the size of the case, and defeo was sent to mental checkup and he was absolutely alrite.

this is just a drama made by these people to get the attention and make some money with less effort.the movies brought large amount of money to Lutz.

The only coincidence which is tragical is

- Paul Hoffman, the writer who penned the original story for newspapers and for “Good Housekeeping” magazine, died a few years after the story broke under mysterious circumstances.

- Jay Anson, author of the best-selling book, made a fortune from the story but died shortly after he received his first million dollar advance for his next book. That book, an occult novel entitled “666“, was a failure.

- Demonologist Ed Warren, suffered a heart attack a few years after his initial investigations of Amityville. He maintained the illness was caused by the house.

- David Cromarty, the son of the house’s new owners, died an early, tragic death. He used the bedroom that had once belonged to Ronald DeFeo for several years.

- Dr. Stephen Kaplan, who took on the hoaxers, almost died from a major heart attack in 1976 and then passed away several years later. His death was untimely and cut short a distinguished career. He would not live to see his book on the case published.

Death is so common, i think it has nothing to do with this great "amityville HOOROOr!!!!!!!"

I think its a amityville comedy, how can people make up these kind of stuffs
Thanks for this horror story Mr.Lutz

I had some info taken from prairieghosts . thanks to them.

Bermuda : an unsolved mystery


"The "Bermuda Triangle," or "Devil’s Triangle," is a mythical geographic area located off the southeastern coast of the United States that is noted for an apparent high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats and aircraft. The apexes of the Triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, and San Juan, Puerto Rico."

many strange disppearances had occured in this triangle,
but the reason for this strange things is unknown.
It is also called as "Devil's sea"

"Many people have reported seeing portals opening in cloudy skies - strange swirling lights sometimes accompanied by sounds - temporal distortions - electromagnetic distortions called 'electronic fog' that can cause a time storm, and the disappearance of planes and ships. There is something about this fog that is important and gives one the sense of all things paranormal. Something unexplained is definitely happening in that region of the Atlantic. This goes back to ancient explorers such as Christopher Columbus and his crew who experienced the phenomenon."

i got this passage frm crystallinks.com

though this one seems to be looking like a fake , it cant be explained
their experience is as follows

"Christopher Columbus wrote in his diary about this sea. In fact, it so fooled his crew that it almost led them to mutiny. There exists the possibility exists of never leaving this legendary sea, he wrote. Another fascinating feature he noted is its ability to draw things in from all over the Atlantic. Some even claim it to be the "catch-basin" of the Atlantic.

Columbus' crew was greatly disappointed when seaweed and land birds were sighted, but after a few days no land was to be seen. Soon after, Columbus wrote, My compass acts strangely. I will not report this to my crew because of their deep superstitions about the area. Days later, Columbus saw a large meteor fall from the sky. He wrote, A large ball of light has fallen from the sky. It is unsure whether he mentions this occurrence in awe, because of its great size, or in fright. Later on their journey, in that area, Columbus and several of his crew members sighted unexplained dancing lights on the horizon. They wandered around for over a week before finally sighting land."

some kind of magenetic disturbances have occured at the time of their travel, they wouldnot have the technology to explain these phenomena.

A flight named Flight 19 has been lost forever and there is no trace for its disappearance.

researches are going on for this matter
lets wait.
