How to play Opus audio files

2013-04-06T08:32:00.000+05:30

Opus is the newstandard for plugin-free voice and video communication within the browser.It performs really well for music. Earlier it was simple avaible with plugins for browser with Firefox leading the way. Now its a totally independent audio format.

Without much technical ado, in short its better than MP3.

Since its a fairly new audio format in town, users are having trouble playing it.

Its simple just download VLC Version 2.05.

3G Short Review

2013-03-23T09:08:00.000+05:30

You tend to forget everything inane about 3G, just for Sonal Chauhan.She is just magical feminity in its finest form. Realy bad effort. You just can't integrate Ju- On Horror into Bollywood like this. Very shoddy indeed!!! Royal disappointment - I really thought it would be good.The worst part is that there is a story somewhere, but its lost someplace because of a pedestrian imebecile execution. But all said and done, Sonal Chauhan can save even a disaster like this just by being herself. You can just forget everything and keep watching a dream like her, even though she is surrounded by a nightmare of a movie.
Can't help but compareTable No 21 and 3G. One - well inspired by Beloved 13 and delivering the goods with a brilliant social message and the other probably shades of Cell and many Ju-On horror movies pu together and inspite of a good cast and dreamy lady, failing miserably and the message at the end... will make you laugh a little more. I felt quite sad, beacuse the trailer was quite interesting and I really like N.N.Mukesh. But just doesn't work in any way.

Inference: Anyone in mood for a comedy horror movie,watch 3G. I think you will die of frightful laughter and ofcourse Sonal Chauhan and Mrinalini Sharma - Nice distractions once in a while.

Bates Motel Season 1 Episode 1 review

2013-03-20T23:58:00.000+05:30

Just Special!!!! Did we ever in our wildest dreams believe that we would get to see Norman Bates in his formative years and the crucial role his mother would play to nurture him into the guy, who would'nt even hurt a fly. Bates Motel Pilot Episode is the best first episode for a TV series I have ever seen for a long time. It was a scorcher par excellence. It started slow and steady, but by no means boring. I felt it would be one of those pilots, where you would get to know the characters and then just a simple eerie ominous end. In certain ways that happened, but with a yank-up tempo incident in the middle, which just clotheslined me outside the ring and thats what made The Bates Motel so incredibly insanely captivating. The whole concept is so scary, because we are watching before our eyes, how a good innocent boy is transforming into a pyscholgically demented man through no fault of his, but just circumstances and an over-possessive woman, who identifies her son as the perfect husband, whom she never had. She is not evil, but a strong woman and therein lies the catch. You sympathise with Norma Bates for her pangs and miseries attached to widowhood at a young age but empathise with Norman, as he has possibly lost his childhood and his teenage years are getting thawed and chiselled with forcep-like precision for which he is not responsible. That is the the wine of terror and suspense in the finest crystal one could ever imagine. Bates Motel has begun with a bang. The Pilot ROCKED with a capital 'R'

Tomb Raider 2013 - Inspired from many games!!!!

2013-03-17T15:02:00.002+05:30

Just for gamers. who have gone mad with the return of Lara -
To a discerning gamer, Tomb Raider is the best game one could ever make from the best elements of some the finest games ever made. Just a rundown about what Square Enix has done:-
1) Taken the tomb raiding quests and made them them side-quests instead of making it the main story. This part is borrowed from Assassin's Creed. Right from opening the chest at the end and getting rewarded. Its a stroke of genius. The main story is Lara trying to survive against all odds and tomb raiding is just a pastime. Loved the concept, as Tomb Raidng in recent times was become just so tedious.
2) Scalping and hunting animals for loot, which could be used as salvage and also to gain experience. This part is taken from Red Dead Redemption. The best Western Game ever made.
3) Waypoints- Lara can virtually explore the whole Island using FAST TRAVEL from one camp fire to another, which are essentially waypoints scattered all over the Island. We can say this is one elements borrowed from RPG - Diablo.
4) Upgrading Skills and weapons - Another RPG element integrated - Batman - Arham Asyulum.
5) Map exploration and Survivak Instinct - Exploring the whole map, Tuning radios to send distress signals and Survival instinct to distinguish surroundings - No prizes for guessing - BATMAN - ARKHAM CITY.
6) Finally Last but not the least - The Core of this gem of a Game is inspired by Nathan Drake and the Unchartered Series. Right from the cliffhanger moments to the climbing, jumping and the story progression - This game borrows heavily from Unchartered but makes it so much better. I haven't felt for Nathan as much as I feel for Lara everytime I go through one major jaw-dropping crazy moment after another.

On a hindsight, there wouldn't have been any Nathan Drake if there wasn't any Lara Croft. There wouldn't have been a Lara Croft, if there was no Indiana Jones. So the debate can go and on, but you don't need to be a genius to realize Uncharterd has done a lot for this instalment of Tomb Raider, especially the combat and the gameplay.

TOMB RAIDER IS A BLAST. YES ITS HEAVILY INSPIRED BUT IT STILL WILL GO DOWN IN GAMING HISTORY AS ONE OF THE GREATEST GAMES OF ALL TIMES. ANY GAMER MISSING IT IS LIKE AN EAGLE LETTING GO OFF A GIFT RABBIT IN HIS MOUTH.

Bond 24 - Bond against Al Qaeda

2013-02-20T10:47:00.002+05:30

BOND AGAINST AL QAEDA/TALIBAN

Isn't it high time James Bond took on Taliban and the Al Qaeda. We are sick and tired of him going against clinched villains and long leggy lasses. Daniel Craig gives a really hard edge to Bond and I think he can pull it off. He can try rescuing a hostage from the Al Qaeda or foil some devious plan of theirs. It would make for an awesome movie and for a change we would be treated to something different. Why does the movie industry shy away from a project like this. Are they scared? Its very important for our times that Bond takes on some terrorists, which has some sort of hard hitting reality infused in it.

We have so many scenarios to explore. Diffuse a bomb in India, save a hostage from Taliban, prevent a nuclear attack on America. Bond would even have a plethora of situations to show his emotion, barring his usual crybaby mode for women, who slink into his shoulders. Bond needs to address real life problems.Skyfall has re-invented him. Now we need something real with blood and flesh from Bond. Bond 24 should try to do something like that.So first thing - pit him against Al-Qaeda.

Akshay Kumar Singing Mujh mein tu Special 26

2013-02-20T09:59:00.002+05:30

AKSHAY KUMAR SINGS IN SPECIAL 26

Of all the stars, who have sung in Bollywood. Akshay Kumar has nailed this song. Akshay has just sang it with incredible pathos and emotion. Brilliant! Special 26 is an excellent movie, but people haven't noticed this song. They may have, but do they know there is an Akshay Kumar version and it rocks.

Olympus has fallen Vs White House Down

2013-02-20T01:38:00.000+05:30

Olympus has fallen Vs White House Down

This is just a run-down of what I feel is going to come down as one of the biggest pow-wows in Box- Office. Two movies on the same theme. Take over of White House and saving the president from a terrorist threat. Nothing can beat 24. That was the first, which showed an attack on the White House and it had some nerve racking moments for Jack Baeur. Last time, we saw showdown of this magnitude was between Deep Impact and Armageddon.

Its a scaledown of each and every aspect of the movie to predict which one would come on top.

1) Directors - Ronald Emerich Vs Antoine Fuqua - Ronald Emerich wins hands down, because he is the master of disaster. His editing style is best suited for this movie, whereas Antoine's strength is more hard hitting whippersnapper documentary style guerilla shooting.

Point 1 to White House Down

2) The Presidents - Jamie Fox Vs Aaron Ekhart - Hmmmm Django Vs Two Face. This will be tough one, but I will go with Django, even though Aaron Ekhart will do a good job, I know. But the scales tilt towards Fox, because of two reasons. The audience is tired of seeing a white president being saved or being a hero against all odds. The Afro- American quotient will work well in the favor of White House Down.

Point 2 to White House Down

3) The Secret Service Agent - Maggie Gyllenhall Vs Angela Bassett. - Angela wins this round. We don't want a prim and proppah lady playing a secret service agent. We rather prefer a hard as nails tough woman to be in charge and Angela is the best fit for this role.

Point 1 to Olympus has fallen

4) Screenwriters - Jame Vanderbitt Vs Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt - James has an impressive resume with Zodiac, The Amazing Spiderman and Darkness Falls, whereas the other two havne't done much till now. This will be their first major Hollywood endeavour. So my vote goes with James.

Point 3 to White House Down

5) Villains - Jason Clarke Vs Rick Yune - I will have to go with Rick Yune on this. Jason Clarke is a brilliant actor, but people want novelty and a North Korean terrorist will work better than an American pretending to be the leader of mercenaries.

Point 2 to Olympus has fallen

6) The Heroes - Channing Tatum Vs Gerard Butler - Canning Tatum - Its simple - he won't be using a body double for his action sequences. Gerard has used stuntmen. This has a major impact

in action movies, when heroes perform their own stunts. Channing's USP is that he is super fit and does his own stunts. That will be a major difference.

Point 4 to White House down.

As per my assessment, White House Down will be a better movie, but you can never be sure. I did like the backstory of Olympus has fallen, Gerard Butler saving the president, while letting go of the first lady. Nice way of playing the anguished hero, who triumphs against all odds and makes things right.

However there is one crucial piece of the puzzle, which we all are missing -
Olympus has Fallen is releasing earlier and White House Down releases 2 months later. This gives Olympus has fallen 3 points, which makes it completely overtake White House Down and become the first in the reckoning. It doesn't matter if White House Down is a better movie. People will go for Olympus has fallen, because of the fresh concept and the novelty will wear off about a White House attack, by the time White House Down releases.

3 points to Olympus has fallen for early release, thus Olympus has Fallen - 5 points

Final ASSESSMENT -

1) Olympus has fallen - 5 points

2) White House Down - 4 ponts

Olympus has fallen wins, primarily beacuse of the early release in March, whereas White House Down releases in June.

Top 5 adventure games of 2012

2013-02-20T00:09:00.000+05:30

TOP 5 ADVENTURE GAMES OF 2012

I will keep it simple. Adventure games was a dying genre, till it saw a resurgence in the past few years. I am simply stating the best 5 adventure games of 2012.

1) The Walking Dead ( All the episodes) - The game, which has rivalled Heavy Rain with it's storytelling, narration and breath a gasp script and unforgetable characters with multiples choices guiding you as one progresses through the game. This game was the watermark moment of Adenture Gaming for all times. It can be compared with the best of the lot. Be it the The Longest Journey, Gabriel Knight, Syberia - The Walking Dead is the best adventure game of 2012 with no competition even close enough.

2) The Testament of Sherlock Holmes - The Sherlock Holmes games are classics and all gamers look forward to each one of them. This was no different. Pretty tough puzzle solving but absorbing with vibrant graphics and a twisted story, which stays with you, even after u finish it. It may not come a close second to The Walking Dead, but its a clear silver medalist. If you want some old school adventure gaming for company - Look no further - hail a hansom, light your pipe and play this game.

3) Primordia - This game is a gem. I won't tell much but if you liked Wall-E and the naughty robot in protal. This game is right down your alley. One of the best independent productions to emereg in recent times. Well written, beautifully sketched and just an awesome adventure game, which shouldn't be missed at any cost.

4) The Cat Lady - If you love horror adventure games, which play with your mind...look no further. Just buy this game. Its a masterpiece. Some people may think I am going overboard with such a statement, but the surreal imagery in this game coupled with the soundtrack will give you goosepimples. Its one of the most ingenious adventure games ever made recently.

5) Amber's Blood - An excellent Carol Reed adventure and the puzzles and the story is evenly balanced. What I really liked about this game was that it didn't have any fancy graphics and was presently lucidly with slideshows and music and sound effects which added to the atmosphere. I really enjoyed playing this game.

People may even give Deponia and Resonance a shot.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Skidrow Crack not working

2013-02-16T09:14:00.000+05:30

Many people are having problems with making this work.

They install the skidrow crack and then Call of Duty Black Ops II crashes or doesn't even intiate. The program manager shows that the thread is on, but the game doesn't begin.

How to make it Work: Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Skidrow Crack not working

Simple steps:-

1)Install Steam
2)Register on Steam
3) Open Steam online, as you log into your a/c
4) Then disconnect your net- that way steam will be on but not logged online.
5) Disable any antivirus you have or when the game starts, add the crack as an exception, becoz most antivirus progs detect the crack as a keylogger.
6) Change your system date and time to Nov 14,2012 and HongKong standard time.
7) Hopefully the crack is installed from before.
8) Start Call of Duty Black Ops II and don't kill Hernanadez. :P

Keep your net switched off, during gameplay.

BRILLIANT GAME - BUY IT AND TASTE THE MULTIPLAYER.

akaash vani review

2013-02-07T23:42:00.001+05:30

AKAASH VANI REVIEW

I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be recommending Akaash Vani for a watch to anyone, but it did the unthinkable. Made my hard heart melt and burn and blur and snow and rain and.......for a few seconds was lost by the unbridled rays of simply....love!! A movie, which makes you believe in something, which isn't worth believing in nowadays;which makes you feel like fighting for something, which seems unworthy of a fight anymore....a tapestry of emotions with conniving simplicity, that just captures one's mind and traps your soul and pushes a weather worn traveller an extra mile more ... the oasis may just be around the corner or yonder a mound of sand. Brilliant!! One of the finest Bollywood Romantic Movie I have ever watched for a long time! You somehow need to survive a tepid first half, but once the story starts to unravel in the second half. it is beautiful, gripping, painful and awesome!!! And two songs - "TERA MERA NAAM and BAS MEIN AUR TU" just heavenly. WATCH IT!!! AKAASH VANI IS A MUST MAST WATCH!

Skyfall is all about Judi Dench's retirement from the James Bond franchise

2012-11-04T01:56:00.000+05:30

My question is who cares about "M" anyway? "M" was always a bloke anyways with the exception of Judi Dench playing the character in the 1995 movie Goldeneye till date. Since the first James Bond movie till date there has been so many actors who have played Bond's character and never in a single plot did we find justification for the new actor playing Bond. Even in recent times when Pierce Brosnan was replaced by Daniel Craig we did not find the plot providing any justification. They replaced “Q” once again but no justifications given. I was surprised that Skyfall's whole plot is based on replacement of Judi Dench by Ralph Fiennes. Infact when Ralph Fiennes was introduced for the first time in the movie one could understand that he is going to be Judi Dench’s replacement in the next Bond flick. Biggest giveaway being their names Dench’s code name is M which is short for Emma where as Fiennes’ initial says M since his name in the movie is Mallory – no brainer that one. What’s making me go angry is that why waste 143 minutes of viewer’s time to merely kill Judi Dench. M is nobody. James Bond movies are about super villains with their super evil plots where Bond will come to the rescue and save the day in typical Bond style. What happened to all that. Bond has merely been reduced to a Bodyguard. His mission is to protect “M” from a villain who seeks revenge from “M” but Bond fails to save her life thereby allowing Mallory to become the new “M”. Atleast “M” is a bloke once again! The movie is otherwise brilliantly made. The cinematography, stunts, action sequences and soundtrack is mind-blowing. It’s a true blue action movie and most definitely a cinemagoer’s visual treat. Now go watch it if you already haven’t.

John Blake is Robin/ Nightwing

2012-06-23T19:03:00.000+05:30

Lot of speculation about John Blake. Since, I have already posted the story, I might as well just state, beyond reasonable doubt that John Blake will be the next Robin/ Nightwing. Its simple. I am not going into conumdrums about the trailer.

Finally a toy-line has completely taken the cat out of the bag. John Blake does don a kinda of a superhero costume- Probably he takes over from Batman, when his back is broken or this the one, which he gets at the end.

Look at the character at the extreme right - That'S BLAKE in some kind of Night-wing costume. I don't think he will be Azrael. This just clearly indicates, he has some kind of extra role to play in this movie. He's just not an average-Joe- Cop.

I will just tell you why its such a possibility:-

1) Batman either dies or retires at the end, because Nolan wants to end it(SO STUPID) WE haven't even seen some of the best villains yet. Grrrrrr! Wud have loved to see his take on Hugo Strange. So what happens next. Its this moment at the end - Nolan will pull the rabbit out of the hat and Bruce will give his cape to Blake.

2) Whether Blake will become the next BATMAN or don his new avatar as Nightwing/ Robin - remains to be seen

Nolan will just have to deliver a cracker climax after Bane is defeated. The continuity needs to be ensured, even though the trilogy maybe complete. It just has to be Blake - Why keep a character like him? - Montoya was kept for Two- face in The Dark Knight- Gordon Hewitt is being kept for Robin.

Bale said he would never ever be Batman if Robin was there- He won't be - Blake becomes Robin at the very end or better still - The Nightwing- Its like a passing nod to him and nothing else.

MASTER STROKE - MR NOLAN - NOW THE END SEEMS MEANINGFUL!!!

2012-06-09T01:55:00.001+05:30

2) Then keep the internet off - Install Max Payne 3. No need to check direct X installation, visual c ++, social club etc.( You can install visual c++ and direct x in case you don't have the latest versions otherwise not required.)

3) After installation, which usually takes over 3 hours, restart the computer.

4) Internet should be off still - Go to the Redist folder and install Max Payne 3 set up and the social club.

5) Go to the Max Payne folder and click on the play Max Payne 3 file exe.

6) Let the windows firewall allow max payne 3.

7) let the config file try to access the internet, when it can't - it will give you an option to play offline - click that and start the game.

SUPPOSE THERE IS A BSOD SCREEN( YOU CAN FIX IT BY INSTALLING WINDOWS 7 SERVICE PACK 1) otherwise

FOLLOW THESE STEPS

DOWNLOAD Max.Payne.3.Update.v1.0.0.22-RELOADED

1)This will install the patch which fixes the BSOD.
2)You will then have to copy the contents of the crack folder into the max payne directory and let it overwrite.

Ishaqzaade - Quick Review

2012-05-14T00:32:00.000+05:30

Loved Ishqzaade. The first half is smashing and even though, the second half seemed a little contrived.. still simply loved Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra. The feelings and the emotions somehow got lost with the pace in the second half. Too much Tarantino and Sergio Leone dip-dashed everything, but still two lovers indulging in a shootout ala Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid with an awesome soundtrack by Amit Trivedi -and you just look away and simply forgive the mistakes, when u r bludgeoned with such brilliance. Parineeti Copra- you are a revelation - Piggy chops doesn't even come close to you. The difference between these two sisters is that Priyanka Chopra is an excellent actress, whereas Parineeti just doesn't need to act - she is spontaneity personified!

2012-05-06T11:34:00.000+05:30

Everyone is so happy about Nupur Talwar being arrested and kept in jail. I am not going to go into depth and talk about what happened. Countless channels have done that and done a horrid job of it as they support the CBI in making scapegoats of the parents.

Just 10 questions being asked - Read them and you'll know what happened here?
THE TEN QUESTIONS WHICH WILL PROVE THE PARENTS ARE INNOCENT :-
1 WHY IS the CBI ignoring alarming evidence from its own investigation, such as the forensic report confirming that Hemraj’s blood was on a pillow cover seized from Krishna’s room? While it has offered an extensive report on its investigation of Rajesh Talwar, why is the CBI not revealing any details of its investigation of its three other suspects despite the strong clues of their involvement?

2 WHY DO Raj Kumar’s former employers Dr Praful and Dr Anita Durrani claim that the CBI is misrepresenting their testimony about Kumar’s alibi the night of the murders? They claim that Kumar was free of all duties by before midnight on the night of the murders, and that his bathroom was outside their house’s main back door so he could come and go whenever he wanted.

3 IF, AS the CBI says, Rajesh committed the murders under sudden provocation, why didn’t his clothes from that evening have either of the victims’ blood on them? A strong thread of the discourse around this case has been one of class bias. Critics ask, with just cause, whether those who believe the Talwars innocent, do so because they are ‘People Like Us’. With this in mind, the question to ask is: why is the CBI biased against the testimonies of the underclass?

The CBI confirms that two days before the murder, Krishna was infuriated with Rajesh Talwar because the latter had scolded him for making an incorrect dental cast. The Talwars’ driver Umesh Sharma has told the authorities that Krishna later exclaimed to him that he would deal with Rajesh Talwar. Umesh Sharma has also said that he found Rajesh to be in the same clothes on the morning of 16 May as he’d been on the evening of 15. The Talwars’ maid’s description to the authorities of Rajesh’s clothes on the 16th morning also matches driver Umesh’s description of what Rajesh was wearing on the 15th night, which were without any bloodstains.

4 WHY WAS the CBI’s first investigation team on this case replaced by a second one, especially since the first team had announced it was about to chargesheet the culprits? Why does the CBI now not mention the first team’s investigations — such as its sound reconstruction test at the Talwars’ house in June 2008 that concluded that sound from Aarushi’s room couldn’t be heard in her parents’ room; or its UV Light Testing on 1 June 2008 that apparently didn’t pick up any bloodstains to indicate that Hemraj was killed anywhere except the terrace?

5 IF AARUSHI’S parents had tampered with the crime scene, why would they have left the biggest clue — the Ballantine’s whiskey bottle with many fingerprints and both victims’ bloodstains — sitting in plain view on their dining table for the police to find the next morning? If they were guilty, why did they protest the CBI’s move to close the case last year and insist that investigations continue? If they have something to hide, why are they agitating for advanced forensics to be applied such as touch DNA?

6 THE TECHNOLOGY to solve this murder mystery exists. Touch DNA is a technique that’s been used in criminal cases worldwide since it can analyse evidence even after years of contamination. Why is the CBI refusing to simply put all speculation to rest once and for all and get touch DNA testing on the evidence it has gathered, such as the whiskey bottle with still-unidentified fingerprints?

7 WHY DO experts at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi completely contradict the CBI’s latest theories about the murder weapon? The authorities first posited that the murder weapon was a khukri (a curved Nepali knife), then they shifted to a scalpel, then to a golf club (or perhaps a combination of golf club and scalpel). Now, the CBI found Krishna’s khukri to be clean of any human blood, and its only evidence for the golf club theory is that two of Rajesh’s clubs in his golf set were cleaner than the others — disregarding these two inconclusive accounts leaves you with the experts’ opinion presented in a report in The Indian Express on 7 June 2008, which said that AIIMS experts concluded that Aarushi was murdered with a sharp-edged knife, given the deep cut on her throat (with probably a wooden handle to administer the blunt injuries) — rather than a surgical instrument like a scalpel, which “is so small it can only cut the skin layer by layer”.

8 DOES THE CBI believe or not believe in the results of the multiple lie detector, brain-mapping and narco-analysis tests the suspects have undergone? For example, why does the CBI still consider it suspicious that Nupur Talwar couldn’t explain where the key to Aarushi’s self-locking door was on 16 May morning (till it was discovered later), even though Nupur has successfully answered this question during the several lie detector, brain-mapping and narco-analysis tests she’s passed, stating that she probably made the crucial mistake of leaving the key in the door after visiting her child on 15th night.

9 WHY DO the post-mortem doctor Sunil Dohre and his assistants’ statements to the CBI rubbish their own original report? How credible is it that they somehow remembered radical new facts for the CBI about Aarushi’s body that are not present in their original postmortem report — drastic facts such as her hymen was “ruptured”, had “an old tear”, “the vaginal orifice... was unduly large”, “mouth of cervix was visible”, her private parts were extraordinarily dilated and cleaned after the murder. These new facts are not only radical but contradict the original report, since extraordinary dilation and cleaning is inconsistent with the post-mortem report’s claim about presence of whitish discharge under the External Examination header of Vagina.

10 HOW ARE we being ‘sensitive’ to the underclass by unquestioningly believing the police and CBI’s insinuations that Hemraj-the-grandfather was in a sexual relationship with a child, while discounting the testimonies of the maid and driver Umesh Sharma?

Wake up - this can happen to anyone in India. Lock your doors, get a gun and never hire a domestic servant for overnight stay.

The Walking Dead Episode 1 Review

2012-04-26T21:11:00.000+05:30

The Walking Dead Episode 1 is a giant step in the right direction for interactive gaming. Sometimes some amazing achievements in gaming are barely noticed and this is one of them. How the game shapes out, based on your decisions is amazing and Its been planned for 5 more episodes and this is just the first episode. Bringing back memories of the best game I ever played - HEAVY RAIN!

Graphics- The graphics may not be brilliant, but they are good enough to bring about the feel of the series.

Game-play - Its basically Click and Go, but it does depend on some quick reflexes and the best part is the dialogue. It changes the story, based on your reactions.

Story - There are some moments, I felt it was better than the original series.

Experience - TOP - NOTCH - Considering its got real tall boots to fill with a Frank Darabont shadow looming over it- I felt it was a nutshell gem.

PLAY THE WALKING DEAD EPISODE 1 - YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

Google Drive is here

2012-04-26T17:00:00.000+05:30

Google Drive is an online space where Google allows you to create, share, collaborate, and keep all of your stuff. Whether you’re working with a friend on a joint research project, planning a wedding with your fiancé or tracking a budget with roommates, you can do it in Drive. You can upload and access all of your files, including videos, photos, Google Docs, PDFs and beyond.

With Google Drive, you can:

Create and collaborate. Google Docs is built right into Google Drive, so you can work with others in real time on documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Once you choose to share content with others, you can add and reply to comments on anything (PDF, image, video file, etc.) and receive notifications when other people comment on shared items.
Store everything safely and access it anywhere (especially while on the go). All your stuff is just... there. You can access your stuff from anywhere—on the web, in your home, at the office, while running errands and from all of your devices. You can install Drive on your Mac or PC and can download the Drive app to your Android phone or tablet. We’re also working hard on a Drive app for your iOS devices. And regardless of platform, blind users can access Drive with a screen reader.
Search everything. Search by keyword and filter by file type, owner and more. Drive can even recognize text in scanned documents using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. Let’s say you upload a scanned image of an old newspaper clipping. You can search for a word from the text of the actual article. We also use image recognition so that if you drag and drop photos from your Grand Canyon trip into Drive, you can later search for [grand canyon] and photos of its gorges should pop up. This technology is still in its early stages, and we expect it to get better over time.

Now you can get started with 5GB of storage for free. Google claims that this is just the beginning for Google Drive; there’s a lot more to come.

mirakkel akkel challenger 6 grand finale : Apurba Lost!

2012-04-03T22:20:00.006+05:30

Watching Mirakkel and just feeling so angry about Apurba's loss. He was a genius, a star and he used to save the best for the last. None of the other contestants were even a pale shadow of what he was capable of. He was the best. I just hope he doesn't fade away and some avenue opens up for him to explore his AWESOMESALA talent. Apurba - you may have lost a show but you have won all our hearts. You came as a coolie, gardener, driver, ticket conductor and even a butterfly. What did the other contestants do? They never ventured beyond their comfort zones and stayed within their mediocre stupid limits and made jokes. Apurba - you were in a different league altogether. The only person, who could rival you was probably Polash- the Ventriloquist. I am still lamenting your loss. It feels as if Mirakkel challenger has let us all down.

Apurba should have simply been rewarded for the body of work he did. And giving a solo performance with such unique gags should have been credited. All the others simply indulged in stand up comedy acts and a party of two can even out the pressure rather than one. I still think Apurba was amazing. In fact his interaction with the celebrity judges were complete paisa vasool. I cudn't control my laughter with his repartites with Mithun. All the others pulled acts, whereas Apurba was an apurba expereince. He is a wave- there will be highs and lows, but he is extraordinary. The others are just comedians. Apurba is a phenomemon!
