THE PERFECT BRIDE

Published September 13, 2009 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments

Star Plus brings you The Perfect BrideAs it is said that ‘Marriages are made in heaven…’, thus Star Plus and Meditech bring a unique reality show called ‘The Perfect Bride’ which will see the five eligible bachelors looking out for a perfect match with their mummies. The show starts on 12 September.

The concept of the show is adapted from the abroad based show called by the same name. The similar show has worked well in Turkey and Italy. The concept of the show is about a mother son pair looking out for a perfect girl. 5 pairs of Mother Son will begin the show with 10 prospective brides to be. To add more glamour Amrita Rao has been taken in as the panel of mentors with Malaika Arora Khan and Shekhar Suman in the show.

The shows also have an audience voting and eviction of want to be brides and grooms. At the end of the show that one pair will choose from the remaining bride on the show and if the girl agrees the wedding will take place on the channel it self.

Though the channel and the production house doesn’t give the guarantee of marriage on television but for sure there will be a more drama and kit pit of saas bahu on the show.

So get ready to watch another Swayamvar on Indian television from 12 September at 10:00 pm

firefox 3.5 beta – rc1

Published June 19, 2009 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments

If you’ve been using the Firefox 3.5 beta, you now get to upgrade to the release candidate for Firefox 3.5. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, The noticeable changes to the release candidate from beta 4 and the b99 pre-release version are not readily apparent. Generally, you can expect the release candidate to be more stable than its beta predecessors, although if you’re using an add-on such as Nightly Tester Tools or MR Tech to force incompatible add-ons to work in the beta you may be compromising your stability somewhat.

Firefox 3.5 natively supports HTML5 and embedded Ogg video content.

The upgrades to Firefox 3.5 have been well-documented by now. Private browsing, geolocation, faster performance than Firefox 3 for both loading pages and running JavaScript, local storage for better offline support, and native video for Ogg/Vorbis. If you’re running the release candidate or one of its beta predecessors, you can check out Daily Motion to see how the non-Flash based video playback performs.

More improvements include support for HTML5 tags such as < audio > and < video >, native JSON support, support for Web workers so browser-based apps can run in the background, support for CSS and SVG standards, the ability to erase browsing traces by site or by time, personas for easier theme management, and downloadable fonts. The release candidate is also available in more than 70 language localizations.

Because of the 800,000 or so testers that Mozilla says have been using the beta versions, Firefox director Mike Beltzner said that he expects this to be the sole release candidate before version 3.5 goes public at the end of June.

Annoyingly, Firefox 3.5 RC1 doesn’t list itself as a release candidate in the program’s About box, but in half a day of testing no problems have arisen.

microsoft bing

Published May 30, 2009 in Computers and internet and Uncategorized. 0 Comments

bingEvery computer blog seems to have written an article about Microsoft Bing, the new Microsoft search engine that was formerly known as Kumo. No one except for Microsoft employees and probably a few partners have actually tested the search engine yet which makes it impossible to give it a first rating.

Microsoft surely has the work power and knowledge to create a search engine that could even the field. Bing however seems to be different from what people expected when they first heard about the new search engine. A short presentation video that has been published today gives a glimpse of the interface and functionality of the search engine.

The video concentrates on business, shopping, travel and health all very profitable niches but reveals little information about the aspects of the search engine that interest most users. The quality of the results can only be measured in tests once the search engine is accessible. The integrated features look interesting but might only appeal to a minority of users online.

We took a new approach to go beyond search to build what we call a decision engine. With a powerful set of intuitive tools on top of a world class search service, Bing will help you make smarter, faster decisions. We included features that deliver the best results, presented in a more organized way to simplify key tasks and help you make important decisions faster.

And features like cashback, where we actually give you money back on great products, and Price Predictor, which actually tells you when to buy an airline ticket in order to help get you the best price — help you make smarter decisions, and put money back in your pocket.

The Bing search engine is said to go live in the coming days.

the pulse within us

Published May 30, 2009 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments

It doesn’t matter whether you are an architect, gardener, or bus driver, everyone has the ability to find the distinct beauty embedded deep inside their daily grind. The problem isn’t capturing our creativity, as individual inspiration is a steady pulse that beats within us all. The problem is keeping those embers hot once we have them in our grasp.

Keeping the flames of our creativity close to an inferno takes decisive commitment. Fire dies without tinder, so will creativity collapse to ash without the needed fuel. Coaxing our creative core requires listening to the quiet whisper of instinct, trusting the honor of its voice, and then doing everything you can to bargain, cajole, or trick yourself into following its advice to the letter.

The start of any project is often the most difficult as the rewards are slow to arrive. Yet taming the creative beast is well worth the best of your patience. You will eventually reach the tipping point where your brain can function with automaticity and your every action is but an extension of breath.

No one builds a cabinet by bare hands alone. To craft the most from your creativity, you must have your best toolbox always on hand. Individual methods are as different as the people wielding them. I could never hope to speak for everyone, but here are a few of the things that always work for me.

Google’s new collaboration tool – wave

Published May 30, 2009 in Cmc, Internet, Movies and Music, Orthopaedics and Personal. 0 Comments

Google has taken the best features from all its most notable online apps and rolled them all into one new collaboration and communication tool called Wave. It’s under a spotlight — and microscope — this week at Google’s I/O developer conference, but the rest of us will have to cool our heels for a few months before it’s released into the wild to be poked and prodded by the public.

Wave is an elaborate mashup of collaboration, documentation, and real-time messaging that Google hopes will make people finally sever ties with AOL, Microsoft, and other online services. Its function is similar to what would happen if you linked your team’s computer desktops together, then put a giant virtual whiteboard in front of everyone. Miss an online get-together? No big deal, just replay the meeting and find out what you missed.

Computerworld’s Juan Carlos Perez calls Wave "the equivalent of a Swiss Army Knife for consumer online services and possibly one of the riskiest and most ambitious endeavors Google has embarked upon in years." His concern is that it doesn’t matter how useful the new Web app is if people can’t or won’t give up the email and word processing apps they’re already accustomed to.

Indeed, that’s part of the reason for the delay of a public release — to teach us just how and why we need Wave in our lives. Google hopes to create enough buzz around Wave that when it finally does launch, users breathlessly flock to it like pre-teens to a Hannah Montana concert.

Given how many businesses rely on Google Docs and Google Apps, I think it’s a safe bet Wave will fly in enterprise. If nothing else, the magic words "improved workflow" will entice companies to at least try it. There’s no question that freelancers, telecommuters, and anyone who relies on remote collaboration will jump on Wave the day it’s available, and stick with it if it helps save time and money.

The only demographic I have a hard time seeing as early adopters of Wave are casual computer users who go online to surf the Internet and send email, but don’t use it as an integral part of their personal or professional lives. Trying to explain why this Web app is important, ground-breaking, or, okay, just plain cool will no doubt be an uphill battle.

Google must sense that they need to generate buzz out of the gate with people who are already comfortable with Web 2.0 technologies for it to really catch on. Case in point: when Wave’s development team demos the product at this week’s I/O keynote they’ll be showing off how easily it can integrate with… wait for it… Twitter.

Is Your Bitterness a Medical Condition? 8 Controversial Conditions

Published May 30, 2009 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments

 

Post-traumatic embitterment disorder. Intermittent explosive disorder. Mathematics disorder.

These conditions are arguably some of the stranger diagnoses tossed around in medical discourse, so it should come as little surprise if you’ve never spoken with your doctor about them. But however strange they may seem, many medical professionals say that these disorders are legitimate conditions that can warrant treatment.

Yet, acceptance from part of the medical community has not stopped debates on the existence of many of these conditions.

"Illness is always a social construct," noted Dr. Nortin Hadler, professor of medicine and microbiology/immunology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and author of the book "Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America."

"People have to agree — both people, in general, and those in the medical community — that a life experience should be labeled an illness," Hadler said. "For example, the Victorians medicalized orgasm, and we medicalize the lack of it."

html 5

Published May 29, 2009 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments

For companies that compete with Microsoft, HTML5 is almost the Holy Grail, offering the ability to run applications regardless of the underlying operating system. While the browser isn’t more important than operating system today, Google this week firmly suggested it is only a matter of time.

We’ve heard that story before. Java was supposed to raise apps above the level of the operating system, offering cross-platform "write once, run everywhere" applications that would break the coupling between an application and a specific operating system. Proponents predicted Windows would become less important with the rise of Java apps.

While Java has accomplished a great deal, it’s potential as an OS-killer has not been realized. HTML5 has a better shot.

At its developer conference this week, Google demonstrated HTML5 applications support inside future versions of its Chrome browser and the future Android 2.0 operating system. Mozilla executives also promised HTML5 support inside the forthcoming Firefox 3.5 browser.

Google demonstrated how HTML5 allows tighter integration of browsers and applications, such as its Google Web Elements. Developers will be able to add applications to web sites by adding only a few lines of HTML5 code, much as they already do with Google Web Elements.

Microsoft, meanwhile, has announced plans to support HTML5, but appears to be keeping it as arm’s length, at least for now.

What does this mean for users?

HTML5 is a standard that is still being developed and is likely to remain so for several years. Its focus on running applications within the browser is an important driver of interest in cloud computing, where applications live somewhere off on the Internet and are delivered by the browser.

The focus of future browsers will shift from "going places" to "doing things." This will be a boon to free operating systems, which will increasingly be able to hide themselves under the browser user interface. While Windows and Mac OSX won’t go away overnight, the pressure on them will be to innovate beyond the browser, perhaps through a common set of extensions for HTML5 applications to use.

It is too early to start betting against desktop operating systems from the major vendors. However, it is clear their role and importance is likely to change–and probably diminish–as browsers become dominant in users’ lives.
