PC Of The Future - E-Ball
Aren’t you tired of your PC? By his ugly shape and the way that it looks? Well, this is exactly what designer Apostol Tnokovski was feeling when he decided to create the smallest PC ever made. It’s not going to be like a PDA, it’s going to be a PC with all conventional components (mouse, keyboard, normal screen).
The concept PC is called E-Ball and it’s shaped like a sphere because in Tnokovski’s opinion this is the best shape in nature and it draws everybody’s attention.
E-Ball will feature a dual core processor, 250-500GB HDD, 2GB of RAM, integrated graphic card and sound card, 2 x 50W speakers, HD-DVD recorder, wireless optical mouse and laser keyboard, LAN and WLAN card, modem, Web cam and integrated LCD projector.
Also, the E-Ball PC supports a paper holder and the paper sheet on the holder could act like a screen where you can watch movies or something. This concept PC will measure 160mm in diameter and it was designed for Microsoft Windows OS, sorry about the others. For the moment there is no word on pricing or when it’s going to be available, however, I am sure that everybody would like to see a small spherical PC like this one.

Although the ring is still in concept stages you would love to have it in your must have things. The pricing is unknown at this stage and also the launch date.
However this becomes the perfect ring for future engagement's for gadget geeks like us :p

Kismat Korrection
The much hyped Kismat Konnection is a movie worth avoiding. Raj's (Shahid Kapoor) luck hasn't been favouring him and problems follow him where ever he goes. However when ever Raj's lucky charm Priya (Vidya Balan) is around, things go in the right direction or so they say.
And the rest is very predictable. The movie tries to be desperately funny and is a mix of two hollywood flicks (When did Indian movies have their own originality anyways) and soon you think you are watching Lage Raho Munna Bhai. I don't see a reason why some anyone would want to watch this movie, after reading the reviews, except if they are a Shahid fan. In interviews Shahid has been shouting aloud that Aziz Uncle's movies can be watched dozens of times without getting bored, sure he is right, but make sure you grab some cotton for your ears to have a sound sleep.
Pardon me for writing the shortest movie review in the history of Bollywood Journalism.

Complan Boy and Complan Girl : Shahid Kapoor and Ayesha Takia
Small kids have always been a favorite with advertisers since time immemorial. After all, your heart immediately melts when you see a small child talking about his / her favorite product. Two such kids (one a small good-looking boy and the other a cute little girl) were seen many years ago in one of the most popular commercials for a popular health and energy drink - Complan. While the boy proudly exclaimed "I am a Complan Boy" even the girl was not one to be left behind and said "I am a Complan girl". The ad is still etched in our memories but what's interesting is that today that very good-looking boy and cute girl are among the teen heartthrobs of the nation.
Yes we are indeed talking about the super cool Shahid Kapoor and the glamorous Ayesha Takia. Years after they did the Complan commercial together, Shahid and Ayesha have managed to make a mark for themselves in the big, bad world of Bollywood. What's more, the duo was even romantically paired opposite each other in films like Dil Maange More and Fool-N-Final. They would also be seen in Ahmed Khan's forthcoming film Paathshala.
And just in case you are wondering what happened to the Complan, well one look at Shahid and Ayesha's respective debut films (Ishq Vishk and Socha Na Tha) and you'll surely agree that it was only Ayesha on whom the Complan actually worked.

HTC Touch Diamond
The New HTC Touch Diamond looks absolutely fantastic. If anything, this phone is a iPhone killer. Some might argue that HTC copied Apple's iPhone, but the truth being the HTC Touch was launched before the iPhone.
The Touch Diamond is also a 3G handset, made with a touchscreen, 4 GB of storage for music and photos and more. It's an elegant follow-up to the HTC Touch and should give the 3G iPhone a run for its money.
The best part of the Touch Diamond by far is its beautiful craftsmanship, but the touchscreen and functionality come in a close second and third. The handset is sleeker and smaller than the iPhone at 102 millimeters in height by 51mm wide by 11.33 mm thick. The iPhone 3G, which sports a 3.5-inch screen with 480-by-320 pixel resolution, is 115.5mm by 62.1mm by 12.3mm. Check this video out and you will fall in love too.

Make XP look like Vista
Tired of your XP? Want to buy Vista? Well, don’t. Vista is still full of bugs and not reliable yet. So what’s so good about it? Most people like the new and pretty looks. 1.Change the theme. This is probably the most important thing when trying to make your XP look like Vista. You will need a good Vista-ish theme, I recommend VistaXP or YAVFC. You should be able to get some good ones from Deviantart. But before you can install 3rd party themes, you will need to patch up your uxtheme.dll file. This file tries to stop you from using other themes than Microsoft’s own. Here are the patches for service pack 1 and service pack 2. (If you’re not sure which Service Pack you have just check properties by clicking on my computer tab on the desktop) You can replace the file manually, but the easiest way is to use replacer, which also backs up the old file in case anything goes wrong.. To replace, go to C: \WINDOWS\System32 and look for uxtheme.dll, which should be among the bottom half of the files. Drag it into the replacer window. Now drag the patch which you downloaded into the window and confirm. To install a theme, download and unzip into the C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes folder. You’ll also need StyleXP to use the themes. Now that the hardest part is over, take a deep breath and give yourself the good-old pat on the back. Try Yahoo Widgets or Thoosje for that Vista signature sidebar. If you want to, you can also get the TRANSPARENT explorer and internet explorer, which are almost as good as the real ones. 3. A transformation pack is also necessary if you want to go all the way. Basically, what this does, is that it replaces the startup, logon and shutdown screens of XP and makes them look like Vista. You will need to sacrifice some startup speed, but that’s the price. Here’s a good transformation pack by Windows X.
It’s a great idea to mix together the good things from both Windows systems: the reliability of XP and looks of Vista. Lets go over this, step-by-step so you can easily follow.
Congratulations on your new Vista and make sure you show it off to your friends.

Fart Poem
A fart it is a pleasant thing,
It gives the belly ease,
It warms the bed in winter,
And suffocates the fleas.
A fart can be quiet,
A fart can be loud,
Some leave a powerful,
Poisonous cloud
A fart can be short,
Or a fart can be long,
Some farts have been known
To sound like a song......
A fart can create
A most curious medley,
A fart can be harmless,
Or silent and deadly.
A fart might not smell,
While others are vile,
A fart may pass quickly,
Or linger a while......
A fart can occur
In a number of places,
And leave everyone there,
With strange looks on their faces..
From wide-open prairie,
To small elevators,
A fart will find all of
Us sooner or later.
But farts are all bad,
Is simply not true -
We must never forget.......
Sweet old farts like you!
