Macbook Air..what's hot and whats not


Macworld 08...high expectations...few options left wid Steve Jobs to please the masses....NO IPHONE2.0...

what doya expect....surprise surprise...

Jobs actually took out a lappie from an envelope and it was surprisingly sexy and slim!

Imagine a 0.7 inch lappie..!...amazinnn..


Oh, btw it ain't so amazin...well atleast fer me.

I do love the sex appeal it has..i mean you should ...you should appreciate the beauty of the laptop....But i wud rather buy a DELL or Sony Vaio instead of this.

Don't worry, i haven't gone bonkers..but you must have a glimpse at its specs!

A notebook havin no optical drive, one usb port, a 4200rpm HDD (though a solid state drive in the higher end model is present but costs fuckin high!) and big bucks to shell out for extra components....its outrageous, but then you can't get the entire house for the size of a kitchen rite?

While this may sell among the higher end customers and the extreme showoffs, it wont be on the shoppin lists of the avrage masses. But it will achieve what it was meant to...it really has redifined ultra portables!

cheers!

The one lakh dream car!


After a lot of speculation and suspense, Indian automaker Tata Motors has finally unveiled the Tata Nano -- its already legendary $2,500 (1-lakh)car. As expected, the car that Tata claims will change the face of not only the Indian car market, but the global auto industry will be a four door, five seat hatch, powered by a 30 HP Bosch 624 cc four stroke engine mounted out back and mated to a CVT. That makes the Nano the first time a 2-cylinder gasoline engine will be used in a car with a single balancer shaft.
It is described to be environment friendly and has more seating space than the de-facto car- the maruti 800.
I really think that motorists have a great reason to rejoice! For a car with an ex-showroom price of 1 lakh, its really impressive and will surely create a storm in the automobile market.
Clearly two-wheeler manufacturers have got a new nemesis on their prowl!
Lets see what kind of a response this car actually gets!

War of the Series!

This is my first post of the new year...with hopes of havin a great year ahead. But the first post itself is about a really disturbing topic!


I may not be a huge fan of cricket, but this incident sure did fire me up and i am sure it did the same to millions of people around the world too.


The way Indians were treated at the sydney test match really made me angry and i felt so pissed off. Im sure many of you did too.


Firstly, umpiring cudn't have been worse! Watching the match was as much of a pain as playin the shitty match! Moreover, one of them even asked ponting whether Ganguly's catch by clarke was valid or not.


Secondly, Andrew Symonds also falsely accused Harbhajan Singh of racially abusing him by calling him a monkey.

Bhajji after he was cleared of charges

This is truly idiotic and it was clear that Symonds wasn't abused, even the little master was with bhajji. What i feel is that Ponting doesn't want bhajji to play in the coming matches for he always gets him out like a duck! Moreover, is calling someone a monkey really a racial abuse? God save us all! Ridiculous!

Now, it seems god did intervene and hence, Buckner was removed from the series and neither will the other umpire be in the next test match. Even Harbhajan was cleared of abusing charges and Brad Hogg was filed under the same act for abusing Indian players. Tit for tat!

IT seems like the series isnt really just a series, Its a WAR! :p i mean its high time the Indians have been treated like ....whatever!

I guess its best to forfeit the tour down under and let them celebrate alone !

God forgive the monkey!
