Most of us already have heard about this piece of software. For those who have come in late, I put here something.
If you own a PC, I mean some box running MS Windows, then it is something for you. I don't know if it is available for Mac or any Linux distro.
This software optimizes the PC you are running it on. You get an advantage of having all the optimization options at a single place. You also get to play with the look and feel of your PC. For example, you have options to change your login screen, or your boot up screen. Well, there is much to tell about this thing, but I wouldn't be able to state it all. It would be better if you download and install this application. It would be then you would realize its full potential. Wish you a faster and smarter PC with Tune Up Utilities 2009!

Yesterday I got my Microsoft DreamSpark DVD. It all started after I saw a new affiliate’s address on the DreamSpark website www.dreamsparkindia.com, under my city’s name. There was a phone number given too. I contacted the person responsible via the number given. I asked him all about the program. He also told that they would be charging Rs. 50 for the DVD. I got surprised to hear this, as on the site it was given that you can collect the DVDs for free. I once again checked the site, this time not only the home page but also the FAQ section. There it was given that the associated partners may take a fee for this process of distributing the DVD, and that would be not more than Rs. 50. After this I was fully assured that the person wasn’t cheating me, as I had read in many of the forum discussions about the DreamSpark DVDs.
Here comes the real story: I went to the given address at 11. The place is around 10 km from my home. As I don’t have a bicycle of a motorbike, I had the only one way, to go for auto rickshaws, and that too on the bumpiest roads of Muzaffarpur. It’s really horrible to travel by auto, in the route of Bhagwanpur to Mithanpura. Still, I landed at the place at around 11:20. When I went to the place in address, I found a big lock hanging, as if mocking me of all the troubles I had taken to get there. I phoned the person once again and he told that the people who stay at the office are out to market, and they would be getting back within half an hour. I told him that I would wait for another 1 hour and I would go back, if nobody shows up. It was really tight for me walking on the verandah for 1 hour. When I saw nobody getting in, I decided to return. It was just because I had told Mum that I would return within one and half hour and I had already spent two hours there. Oh man! My heart my sinking like hell!
I reached home, sent a mail to the person about the problem there. And then put him a call. When I called him, he asked me about my position. I told that I had returned back to my home. Still, he asked another person to call me and to give me all the information about the thing I had been searching for. I got a call just after five minutes then. And the person on the other side asked me to take the DVD by 6 in the evening. Meanwhile, I got good scolding from Mum, after she heard that how I had literally wasted my time. I had no courage to ask her permission to go to the same place again. Still, I asked, and after some angry looks I was granted permission.
I went on almost running. Reached the place, and got hold of my DVD. Alas! I had to pay Rs. 50 for it. Hey! It was not only Rs. 50, but also Rs. 30 as transportation charge and Rs. 5 for making phone calls. So the grand total became Rs. 85. Well! It’s nothing in comparison with the genuine licensed software I have got worth thousands of rupees.
The DVD’s cover is of pink color, as you can see in the photograph. The disk is manufactured by Moser Baer. There is a verification code given in there, with which you get verified as a student. And you get access to all the software on the DreamSpark website, all absolutely Free! Isn’t that great?
So, rush to your nearest affiliate to grab your copy!!!
Hi! In this post I am going to give a summary of World War II - Pacific Heroes. This game is basically a point and shoot one. You take off from massive aircraft carriers to shoot down enemy fighters and torpedo Japanese war ships... or man anti-aircraft artillery defending against enemy raids.This is a high-end, console-like game, featuring 20 pulse-pounding missions and spectacular 3D scenery!
It's really obvious that you get addicted to this game if you start playing it once. The chapters in the beginning are quite simple. You have to just point and shoot. But the chapters after the 10th one start getting tougher. You feel like struggling to keep the enemies away from your mother vessel. All round, this game may keep you hooked up for hours.
You can download it here. It requires you to pay $19.95 USD in order to play the whole game, that is all the chapters. So, I have added a serial key file too. You can download it here.
Yesterday one of my friends asked me if I had watched the movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. My answer was negative. He told that this movie is just like those ‘anything never before’ type ones. He didn’t say much and asked me if I wanted its copy. I was affirmative. But in order to share this movie we had to take up good many number of problems. As he was right then physically very far, he had to transfer the file. And I hope you are aware about what might happen, if you try to transfer mammoth file on a speed of 20-30k. Just for this reason I asked him to convert the file to .3gp format and to upload it on some free space provider.
Today I have got the chance to download and watch the movie. My first reaction: Man! It’s simply AWESOME!!!!!
Well! Before anything about the movie I would like to thank and praise the director(s) and cast of the movie.
Dany Boyle and Loveleen Tandon have presented the thing in such a beautiful manner about which you can just dream of. Believe it or not, I was getting Goosebumps while watching it. It was not because it’s some horror movie or an action flick. It is basically a love story. But it has got all for which you can call it a perfect one.
Dev Patel (as Jamal Malik) and Freida Pinto (as Latika), both new comers, have given their best. You get to see the real face of slums in Mumbai. Lives of children there and how they are converted to ‘bhajan singing’ beggers, by some human trafficker. You would also get to see what are the most ugly deed and most ugly faces of human beings. The real picture of struggle in lives of people living in slums is what makes you think seriously. The expressions and emotions may let your eyes get moist.
This movie is no traditional Bollywood movie, with all those songs and excessive drama. I suggest the Indian filmmakers to take a lesson from this movie, otherwise the day is not far when they will be out of business.
Hey! I just and simply can’t explain what’s best about it, because it is the BEST! My innermost feelings are here but really aren’t expressed the way it should be. Okay! Now it’s upon you that which way you understand this.
This movie is going to be released on 23rd January in India.
Here is review from a website:
It doesn't seem like a stretch to suggest that America might now be ready to embrace films in the style of India's Bollywood films. While "Slumdog Millionaire" is far from a Bollywood tragic love story filled with singing and dancing, the way director Danny Boyle will rivet audiences with his film that is authentic to Indian culture while using a distinctly Western style of film-making might be enough proof that there is a profit to be made here.
"Slumdog Millionaire" is a drama exposing the tragic effects of poverty in gigantic Indian cities like Mumbai that is also fused with a modern day Indian fairytale. Jamal Malik is a young man on India's "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" and is a question away from one million dollars when he's arrested on suspicion of cheating. Because Jamal is from the slums of India and has no educational background, it seems entirely improbable if not impossible that Jamal could make it this far, but each question is connected with distinct and sometimes painful memories for Jamal. It's as if he is destined to win, even though he only went on the show to impress a girl he has loved his whole life, Latika.
Danny Boyle ("28 Days Later," "Sunshine") takes us from memory to memory as Jamal advances question by question toward the million dollars. These memories offer vivid insight into poverty in India as well as the lives of Jamal, Latika and Jamal's older brother Salim. As children they are left parentless and taught how to swindle tourists, leading to lives of little fulfillment or even corruption. Despite being separated, Jamal and Latika are reunited several times and in fact Jamal's only motivation in life is his love for her.
While the young, unknown, Indian actors are absolutely amazing in this film, the biggest kudos go to director Boyle, who creates an astonishing film. For Boyle to go from science fiction and zombie thrillers to taking on a project as daring and unusual as "Slumdog Millionaire" proves that he's not only a brave director, but a versatile one. His great success with making this film intense, eye-opening and full of heart all at the same time prove that he's also an incredible one. "Slumdog" is just the beginning for Boyle who might be one of the most progressive and talented directors working today.
It's hard to be completely blown away by a film whose core message is about destiny and leans on the fact that Jamal is simply fated to do this well in explaining what has unfolded, but like any good film ought to, Boyle makes you a fan of the characters and not care as much about the logistics as you might normally do. The fact that this film starts out so dramatic and real makes it hard to embrace the fairytale it blossoms into, but it's the great visual storytelling along the way that makes it so enjoyable.
If your answer for the above question is yes, then read on! Music is the food for soul and those who are music lovers know this thing very well. A few days back I was sitting ideal. I had got bored with the chemistry chapters I had been flipping through. And nothing was seeming so interesting to do at that time. Something struck me and I placed a call to Nikhil. Actually, a day before we had been hunting for a pirated disk of the Hindi movie 'Rock On!' That day we couldn't get that and I was very keen to watch that, say at any cost. Alas! I couldn't get that anywhere. So I asked Nikhil to search for the movie once more and come to my place. When he was there browsing the movie disks at one of the movie rent shops, he got the movie we were searching for. He called me instantly and asked me whether he should get that. I told him that what a dumb question he had been asking. He turned up with the movie within ten minutes. The disc was a DVD, there were also some movies which were not of our interest. And this was for sure that we couldn't see that movie at his place as he didn't have a DVD player. I have a DVD drive in my laptop. I pushed that disc in the drive tray and started praying for it to run properly. There is a speciality in my DVD drive, whenever you are curious about any DVD, it wouldn't let that run. And the same happened with this disc. Somehow, after many tries we were able to run the disc. I navigated to the movie we were searching for. I played it... And you know what???!!! That was a hall print i.e. it was recorded in some cinema hall with the help of a camera. You can just imagine how terrible the picture and sound quality would be. Well! Our curiosity didn't let us stop watching even that so a ghastly print. Okay! That was a bitter part of the story. We started the movie with all the curtains down and the volume to its fullest, giving a cenamatic effect. The movie started with a good song. It was really a good start. Many of the people would have found this movie a bit boring due to all the silent acting of Farhan Akhtar, in the first half. But his role was that way. He did all the justice to the character. His three friends and he himself were a band. The name of their band was 'Magik'. It showed a clear picture of a typical Indian scenario. How they got separated and what was the reason for their seperation etc. Well! It was very nice to see them perform at the stage once again in their mid-thirties. I loved the songs most. All the actors has almost made the characters life like. I would recommend this movie for all, but especially for those who love music most (if you are a fool like me, and haven't watched the movie till now). The songs in this movie have a good touch of western music, and these would for sure get you goosebumps at some instances. Enjoy! And get your feedback, back to me.
I had bought my computer in 2006, in the month of June. There was Windows Xp preinstalled in the system. Still, the person at the shop asked me whether I would like to have Windows Vista. Vista had launched a few months ago when I had bought my computer. I simply told him that I would not be able to afford that. Hearing this he started laughing out loud. He told me,'Hello mister! Who is asking you to buy it? It is all pirated copy available here.' I was very much shocked to hear this as I had heard and read in many of the reviews that it would not be possible for anybody to copy Windows Vista's DVD. Just after recovering from the shock I asked him about how he did it. But I got a plain answer,'Boy! That's a secret.' After this I simply asked him to suggest what I should keep in my machine as OS. He flatly gave hands for Xp. For the reason part he told that it was a new thing and I should not go for it untill I get some good response from others. And I followed his advise, just like that. Also he had strong points to oppose vista, for example; many of the softwares were not supported by Vista at that time. Okay! That was the story of yesterday. I had an impression that Vista would rock and I, as a dumb would always regret refusing Vista (pirated isn't a matter). And here comes the twist. I got to talk to one of my friends, luckily he 'had' Vista but now he has downgraded to Xp. The reason was the same, it doesn't allow to run some of the pirated softwares. Yeah! It is also true that his copy of Vista was pirated too. I have also seen haapy people with Vista, those who have got a legal copy of it. But when it comes to the majority I see Vista haters everywhere. Hey! I don't use either Xp or Vista, I am right now on UBUNTU and I am acting neutral in this war. Mind it! Here is a report by one of the top technology magazines: 'Microsoft is trying hard to get people to fall in love with Vista. Despite Vista being far superior to Xp in terms of security, a third of Vista users downgrade to Xp according to research firm's CTO Craig Barth in collaboration with InfoWorld. They surveyed more than 3000 computers shipped in the last six months and came to this conclusion. Sometimes, the downgrade was done by the customers once they purcahsed their computers, but there were instances were vendors such as Dell downgraded their systems based on request from their customers. Perhaps the most demeaning thing about the whole issue is that a lot of people are not looking at this as a downgrade at all. In their opinion, replacing Vista with Xp is actually an Upgrade! The deep penetration of Xp in the corporate environment is the reason for this. It looks like Microsoft's $300 million advertising campaign to boost Vista sales isn't helping.' Hey! What's your take on this? Do you agree with this. Personally I was very much annoyed with both the OSes, so I wouldn't give a personal comment. And that's the reason I am using a linux distro Ubuntu, despite my Windows partition crashed. If I would not have been that so annoyed I would have reinstalled Windows till now. What do you say?
Today is the ninth day of Navaratri. And it is just by chance that today My Dad has got holiday, unlike all the Sundays and other holidays. This was a chance for me to roam around the city to visit all the Dussehra ceremonies. Well! At 8 in the morning we started for our trip. That was not the best time to visit the places, but we just wanted to avoid the rush hour. And this cost us a lot of degradation in the looks of the idols.
Okay! Let me start from the beginning. We had planned to take a round of the city. Those who are from Muzaffarpur, they will have the ease in understanding my visiting route. We started from our home, that is near Bhagwanpur. First place of stop was Bhagwanpur. The next places were Maripur, Imli Chatti, Sariayaganj, Pankaj Market, Durga Astahn at Andigola, Banaras Bank Chawk, Garib Asthan, Kalyani, Motijheel, DharamShaala Chawk, Kalam Bagh Chawk, Chatta Chawk, Lenin Chawk and Gobarsahi Chawk respectively.
The main attractions were at Pankaj Market and Durga Asthan. This was just by chance that we entered Garib Asthan Mandir. It was a big surprise for me to see bhajan-kirtan going on there. Well! I think this is unusual here where you only get devotional songs on loudspeakers. All the way we could see people busy with all the busy stuff and the loudspeakers blaring as loud as those could.
I have put the photographs of the places I have visited today. The pictures must have been at their best if I would have gone in the evening, but I have stated the reasons earlier. Anyway this is a good glimpse of Durga Pooja at Muzaffarpur. Pictures look attractive but those would be more if I would have been there in the evening. Now, this is the evening time, my Mum has gone with Dad to have her trip.
Click on any of the pictures to get its bigger view. I hope you would enjoy the pictures and would post your comments. Wish you all a Very Happy Dussehra!
