The Adventures of Tintin!

2011-11-25T03:58:00.000-08:00

I watched the Tintin movie in 3D yesterday. The 3D effects were undoubtedly amazing. However, the movie was little boring with not much fun as I had expected. Snowy played an important and funny role in the movie and you can say that it was the center of the movie. Haddock looked totally lost and hallucinated while mouthing his dialogs. Well, his character might have spun like this. At last he did prove that he was a true Haddock when he discovered the treasure with the help of Tintin and snowy. The two cops Thomas and Thomas too contributed their puns and made me laugh at times. Wait, we did not talk about the villainous part of the movie, I mean villain who did make the hero Tintin struggle for everything and gave real headache to Haddock . At last, it was a one time watch (OTW) movie. So watch on your Risk!!

Scam ke Positive Effects!

2011-10-03T21:58:00.000-07:00

I being an ordinary Indian have somewhat little interest in politics. Reason being, I am a positive person by heart and the politics gives me all the negative reasons not to believe in it. It may not be politics exactly but the politicians who have been looting the country and stuffing their Swiss bank account with piles of money that could have otherwise been used for the welfare of the Indian society. Adding to the plight, these politicians are always let scot free in the absence of evidence that our law system is totally dependent upon.
What would you say that our judiciary system is totally lame? Well, we won't discuss it here (may be in the next post).

Today, I am going to tell you the positive effects of a scam to the scammer. Seriously, there aren't any side effects of scamming, but only the positive effects that the scammer is left with. The first and foremost effect is the money. A scammer can immediately make millions or billions of money within some time and can use it to survive for years and have its 7 generations fed on it. Take the example of Suresh Kalmadi who tanked some thousand crores out of rs. 70,000 crores spent on the Commonwealth games 2010. The money is locked into his Swiss bank account and will be eventually used by him and the family. Who cares weather this money can ever be unlocked and used for the welfare of the poor? Who cares if Mr. Kalmadi ever plead guilty and be sent to jail for a few years? No one as the public will just be happy in case he is found guilty and sent behind the bars.

Another positive effect is the popularity. It means that you can become a media favorite overnight. Every national/international channel, newspaper, magazine etc. will talk about you as if you are Sachin Tendulkar, Michael Jackson or Don Bradman who have broken all the records in their respective fields. Did you notice how easy it is to become a big shot overnight. So much name, fame, and money is there in doing a scam.

Even if you are jailed for your sins, you can easily come out of it using your health as a weapon. Don't believe me? You will have to believe once you see the list of the corrupted politicians who always eat all the healthy and nutritious food found on the planet earth and still they fall ill or become victim to diseases like cardiac arrest or heart failure when grounded on the charges of corruption. Take example of the Samajwadi party leader, Amar Singh, the latest addition to this list. Sonia Gandhi, who just returned to India after her bypass (I don't know if it exactly was bypass) surgery, will address her party woes someday.
That's all for the day guys. I'll appreciate your comments or suggestions that would add to the beauty of this blog. Send in your suggestions on what else can be the positive effect of scams.

MTV Celebrates 30th Anniversary

2011-08-02T08:43:00.000-07:00

MTV, an acronym for Music TV, grew 30 years old yesterday. It certainly has been the most glorious history (until date) for MTV, which put its first step into the music industry on 1st August 1981. It was the time when Sandra Day O’Connor swept the honor of becoming the first female jurist of the U.S. Supreme Court. Sandra retired from Associate Justice's designation in the year 2006, exactly 5 year ago from now. I don't know if Ms. Justice ever watched MTV for the sake of music or not. It was certainly the time before CD players, Mac computers went on sale and Internet came into existence in the US.

You cannot imagine how glorious it might have been for the people who associated with MTV for so long or some time. Martha Quinn, one among the then 5 VJs of MTV, can certainly feel this. The other four were J.J. Jackson, Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, and Alan Hunter. Are we forgetting something?. No, but yes someone. Trevor Horn, the famous singer who sung the famous 'Video killed the radio star' song. This was the first song played on MTV and that too for about a year. Sounds too good! Isn't it? Yes, it does. Mr. Horn, who is 62 year old now, must be remembering the days when he quickly shot to fame after singing the song. Good Old Days..We can expect more such wonderful times from our own MTV.

Go Active for Improved Decision Making

2011-08-01T08:03:00.000-07:00

Yes, you heard it right! An active lifestyle can just help you take your decisions in an improving manner. A recent study conducted at Wichita State University in the US concludes that the auditory system in humans has a direct relation with their decision-making ability. Dr. Ray Hull, an audiologist at Wichita and who also led the study, describes that humans tend to comprehend and implement what they hear. According to Dr. Hull, if a person in his late 80s and early 90s do some cardiovascular exercises, then it will improve his hearing (auditory) ability and consequently speed up his ability to think and implement things. Dr. Hull said "One of the reasons the processing of what people hear tends to decline with advancing age is that they become less and less active as they get older,"

Adult children often wonder: "Why can’t dad seem to understand what we’re saying to him or make decisions about what we tell him anymore?" Dr. Hull said "the answer to that question may not be that dad is hard of hearing, but it may be his inability to comprehend or process what he hears, which may be due to lethargic lifestyle".

So, guys what do you think? Isn't it a good idea to pull up socks, do some stretches, and dive into the pool of happiness. Of course the ability to hear more and comprehend more will bring happiness in your life..Let me know what do you think about this.

Rama Rama: Naya Ramdev Drama

2011-06-03T03:57:00.000-07:00

It is really good rather outstanding that Baba Ramdev has called for a hunger strike in Delhi's Ramlila ground in an effort to bring the black money back to India and declare it as a national property. Our very own national hero, Mr. Anna Hazare, is also going to join him in his fast unto death agitation.
Baba Ramdev has also demanded that a Public Service Delivery Act should be put into force so as to book all the tax evaders and black-money stashers. The baba also sought timely action for all the culprits and the establishment of special courts to handle the corruption exclusively.

I am sure Sonia Gandhi-led UPA government must have jumped out of its cozy seat and have started looking ways to stop Baba Ramdev from doing so. Let's see what happens next. But one thing is sure that the show must go on...........

Cell Phones: Call for Cancer

2011-06-02T03:41:00.000-07:00

Cell phones are cancerous! Don't believe me? Read on to know. WHO (World Heath Organization) in its report, released yesterday, grounded cell phones on the charge of causing cancer. The organization added mobile phones into the "carcinogenic hazard"category that enlists lead, pesticide DDT, chloroform, and engine exhaust among other lethal things. A panel of 31 scientists from 14 nations including America conducted comprehensive studies on different people.

WHO reported that women and children are especially vulnerable to the danger due to the fact that their scalps and sculls are thinner than males and adults. If they use cell phones frequently, the impact of radiation would be higher on them. Until the release of yesterday's report, WHO had always maintained that cell phones were safe to use. Guys, it's an alarming situation as there are already billions of cell phone users out there in the world, the strength is already rising especially among children and adults.

Be aware, Keep yourself safe!

Mac Malware Tightens Grip on Mac Users

2011-05-31T21:36:00.000-07:00

“Mac Mac not again, malware wants to run again”. I am sure this is how Mac users have been praying since the eruption of Mac malware. It has so far affected around or over 60,000 Mac owners (reported by Ed Bott on http://www.zdnet.com/), and is still continuing the dirty game of infection.

Mac malware has begun to tighten the noose around Mac users’ neck by spreading itself leaps and bounds on their machines. Remember the first and foremost infamous message that appeared on Mac screens “I am a Trojan Horse, so i have infected your Mac Computer. I know, most people think Macs can't be Infected, but look, you ARE infected! I have full controll over your Computer and i can do everything I want, and you can do nothing to prevent it. So, Im a very new Virus, under Development, so there will be much more functions when im finished”.

It wasn’t a hoax as some Mac owners/users for that matter have experienced it and had to reboot their computer in order to get rid of this message. The latest Mac malware version, also called as MacDefender, is much worse than the initial one. MacDefender redirects the users to fake and adult websites instead of the legitimate websites. These fake websites make users believe that their PCs are infected and they need to download and install a security program (which is actually a virus infection itself) from them in order to remove the virus/malware and save critical data.

It wasn’t a long ago when Windows PCs used to be considered far more vulnerable to virus attacks than Macs that have been running on popular ‘I am Mac, I am a PC’ ad campaign. Though, Mac PCs have never been immune to virus infections other than the fact that we rarely heard of any such incident on Mac machines and these were targeted least by the malware writers or hackers.

Apple may discontinue the famous, long-running ad in the pursuit of Mac malware that since its outbreak has been on its destructive way to ruin users’ experience with Mac PCs. Stories or no stories, but it is the high time for Mac users who do not or by any means want to be chiseled by MacDefender, MacSecurity, and/or MacProtector for that matter.

Good to hear that at least Apple has woken up and decided to do what should have been done before when Mac malware first made its appearance. We all know that malware writers are not idiots, infect, they are much more advanced than the users and the companies. They only have one motive and that is to make money by spreading malware infections, believe me this is the easiest of all the money-making methods. Cyber crime has been on consistent rise since a very long time and has grappled people badly in its claws. Not just Apple, Microsoft, ever users have to be self-aware about the risks of downloading or accessing something that is fraud/unrealistic and self-starter to put on the security programs on their machines.
