Tomorrow it does goanna be a big day for everyone especially lovers. Yeah you are rite, its Valentine’s Day. Usually this day is celebrated February 14 of every year in which lovers express their love in a way of sharing greeting cards, flowers, and gifts or maybe kisses . Love never cares about time or age, if you are young at heart and have the endurance to express pure love for your partner then you too can celebrate it. As you all very well know that I don’t have a girlfriend till now nor or a lover so usually I am idle tomorrow and watch others fiddle their lovers. Yeah, that’s what I am doing for years.

Ok I will keep aside my stories and come to the point. Usually during Valentine’s Day people used to judge others love status by the color of dress they wear and so this year they have coded a new info for different colors of dress. Check for yourself the colors below and make sure you don’t get into other people’s eye.

And one more thing, I wanted my blog readers to ask some questions! Some of them are

1.Are you in love with someone? If so express your story.
2.What’s your opinion about love?
3.If you are not in love, do you have any determination to fall in love with someone?

That’s it! I am very curious to read your replies!

Now its time for another vote, after successful strive and publication in India and other parts of the world, the TAJ which is one of the inspiration and a landmark around the young has been selected as one of the 7 wonders of the world. Many factors and sources are responsible like media promotion, mass internet voting and overall the population of India for its success.

Taj Mahal certainly deserves to be a wonder of world, never mind the architect but the symbol of love made it won. After the new 7 wonders of the world, New open foundation has started another poll called New 7 natural wonders of the world. The nominations are clearly defined only for natural site or natural monument that was NOT created or significantly altered by humans.

We have our chance of showing up the Great Himalayas which protects our country in every basis. So my kind request is to nominate Himalayas for the natural 7 wonders and make it win.

How to Nominate ?

Click this link and in the nomination field enter “Himalayas” and select the category as  Mountain, cliffs, Volcano,Rocks etc and select the country as India.

Leopards which come under wild category are not easy to be trapped or mingle with social life. From ancient time till today people use many tricks to catch animals’ especially wild animals, with the advancement in technology, the impact made some forest officials in western India to use Ringtone to capture or trap leopards. When you sneak the creativity behind this idea, the concept seems to be ultimately simple.

How the trick actually works?

Using cell phones with ringtones of cows mooing, goats bleating and roosters crowing to attract leopards, they easily make the wild cats to fall in their pit. Leopards usually roam into villages near forests in search of food and as a result they attack people, but now this method had made the officials to fetch the leopards easily. This is one of a best usage of technology while people on other side misusing cell phones like mms scandals, pranks etc.

Vasani, one of a forest official said forest guards have downloaded the sounds of over a dozen animals as ringtones on their mobiles which they attach to speakers and fix behind a cage.

Yahoo news also reports that activists welcomed the new initiative saying that previous methods of trapping the cats using pits often resulted in the animals getting injured. Hope PETA promotes this step every where for the better care of animals.

Its time to celebrate again and luck pours for BSNL broadband customers as the company shortly planned to release a new scheme called Three-in-one `Broadband Multiplay’ which includes a single package of voice, video and Internet protocol television (IPTV) services.

You all might have already experiencing the new whooping 2 mbps speed now which they have announced shortly but to again surprise you their new technology will enable  the connectivity speed of up to goddamn “8 mbps” (Please believe me).  When comparing developed countries, this speed doesn’t count but when it happens in India, its good news to share up.

The new package is all about ON-DEMAND service by which the provider will install a set-box in your place. The Hindu reports that this new services will be launched in 789 cities shortly. Great news is that your ADSL copper wire connectivity will soon be replaced by new futuristic technology, `Fiber to the home,’ which was in the final stage of technical valuation. Seem like my post about the Free Internet for everyone likely to be hinted.

What’s this beta program actually? Microsoft’s Test center or lab work with external users to enhance their Microsoft products by asking suggestion, bug reports etc enabling the earlier download of their products and betas.

I am an active participant of Microsoft Connect and previously participated in Windows Embedded program now they have invited me to take part in the Windows live betas program which gives us the opportunity of experiencing the live products earlier before the public actually download it.

As a participant of their exclusive group of Managed Beta Testers, my key role is to provide accurate feedback to their teams. Currently they allow me to download pre-release versions of Windows Live messenger, Windows live mail, Windows live writer. Currently I am working out with Windows live messenger to submit my feedback to MS Team. [update: Submitted a vulnerable Bug]

Also I am invited to try the Microsoft Pop-fly which seems to be a great new experience. Let me try out and write a short review about it later. Microsoft gives very special privilege for its beta testers, sometimes in thanks giving it also sends free CDs, T-shirts and other stuffs.

As far now I got all trial version CD’s from Microsoft which include Windows Vista, Office 2007 etc. Indians should be aware about this Microsoft India Community website called Mera Windows and Mera Office. They have many stuffs and resources to share, especially free gifts like CDs directly from Microsoft India.

Last week while attending our college magazine function, an officer from Planning commission has been invited as Chief Guest. He was giving several lectures about the recent developments in science and technology based on India and so on. Well the shocking or surprising news to share with all of you is that Government of India has plans to give “Free Internet All over India” within few months. Does that sound great? Also he added that the highest revenue is from the field of Information and Technology, lol I am studying for that… but the reality is that everyone is focusing towards the same field so in order to divert the minds and bring new opportunities in other field; the government has implemented many schemes for R&D (Research and Development Sector), especially R&D in biotechnology.

Ok I am going off the topic, I myself still cannot believe the news of free internet during that time when all of a sudden a guy raised a question asking that India is still lacking in giving high bandwidth to their consumers where other countries get a whooping mbps for a normal rate while this is happening in India how are they able to give free internet?

The guest thought for a while and answered that India is a largest country with millions of population, there are villages which still don’t even get telephone connections but we are using Internet vastly especially the traffic contribution from India is really high, how is it possible ?

This is another reason why we still lack in advancement of communication but our scientist have recently able to transfer date rate up to a terabyte per second (not sure about it but he added this). Even India produced three super computers which we might have not heard or it might be kept confidential. But the plans of Free Internet Connection seem to be on progress and will be launched in quite few months. When thinking from a positive angle there is no surprise or obstacle to believe this thing, since the recent advancements had made the internet and its technology a whooping success.

Lets wait and watch beside ….

It has been weeks since Adobe Photoshop CS3 released I still haven’t upgraded, so now i got time for it and finished the process of upgrading from CS 2 to CS3 just. Well the ultimate mistake I made is that I upgraded to CS3 extended instead of just CS3. Since Extended version contains more features that are really not worth for a graphic designer but for professional motion editors, animators etc while the Photoshop store itself suggest CS3 is enough for graphic designers.

For those who are confused about what I am talking, I want to say that the new Photoshop CS3 is available in two different versions, the ordinary and the other with a Extended Tag.

After installing CS3, I found it incredibly faster than CS2. I thanked god for not equipping Image ready with it but it contained an alternative called Adobe Stock Photos CS3. Also I wish to reveal out some cool resources and information for Photoshop users that i found out.

• Blog on Photoshop – Photoshop Support Blog
• Cool Books on Photoshop from Amazon – CS3 | CS2.
• Easy to use Tutorials and Guide – The Design World.

For dudes who wanna try the Trial version of Photoshop CS3, you can download from Adobe labs.

When people always deserve to search for best, PC World aims in giving the top best products by deep review, research and all other factors. So they have introduced releasing the top 100 products every year which is very useful for seekers. The PC world tech log has just posted the top 100 products out of which we are goanna see some.

Based on Ranking, the top 10 products are

Google Apps Premier Edition:

I don’t know why PC world selected GAFYD as top product of year but you will know the answers when you ask the office folks who have been powered by Google. Some say this as “Office killer” as said by PC world. Integrated service like Gmail, Google Docs and Spreadsheets, Google Calendar, Google Talk etc made this a turbo package for companies. Surely if you thought of trying Google Apps, you can ping me since I am also using Google Apps for my company, I would provide you a tryout account there.

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor:

Wow, the fastest running pc is certainly equipped with the new Intel Core 2 duo processor which is one of my wish list. My brother promised to buy me a core 2 duo processor within 3 months which I hope he will be. Pc world says that Intel core 2 duo processors run fast in their test which impressed the experts a lot.

“Core 2 Duo processor line ranges from the 1.86-GHz E6300 chip ($183) with 2MB of cache to the 2.93-GHz Core 2 Extreme X6800 chip ($999) with 4MB of cache; all have a 1066-MHz system bus. “ A snippet from PC world says.

Nintendo Wii

PC world says Wii has a crowd pleasing controller but do you actually think will that controller suits gaming? I accept the fact that Wii is very compact comparing to Xbox and Play station 3 but when it comes to power gaming no one can override PS3 or Xbox (My personal suggestion).

The other products are Verizon FiOS, RIM Blackberry 8800, Parallels Desktop, Pioneer Elite 1080p PRO-FHD1, Infrant Technologies ReadyNAS NV, Apple Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger” and Adobe Premiere Elements 3.
