Goal 2: Living the Dream


An excellent movie, though it lacks some points in the story section. Its about a footballer Muniez who plays for Newcastle (English football club). He then gets an offer to play for Real Madrid, the football giant who isn’t having a nice run. He then shifts to Madrid where he finds a friend in Gabbin or Cabbin Harris….the star footballer who is currently not in form. The entire film revolves around Muniez , his association with Real Madrid and his relations with his mother and his girl-friend. The movie does seem boring at times when there ain’t any matches or emotional scenes going on. The flim does have its emotional quotient, and this is shown when Muniez meets his once-separated mother and his brother, and when he comes back to take care of his girl-friend whom he ignored coz of the fame he got. Overall a nice movie, and the final part is the best where Arsenal plays against Real Madrid. Music is nice and apt and characters do full justice to their roles (this Muniez does seem a hot headed man!).
I’d give it a 3.5/5

Microsoft Corp. is offering $44.6 billion in cash and stock for search engine operator Yahoo Inc. in a move to boost its competitive position in the online services market.The unexpected announcement Friday comes as Microsoft, the world's biggest software company, seeks new ways to compete more effectively against the search and online advertising powerhouse Google Inc.
Hah...This reminds me of the phrase..(which i made just now...;)..)"What you can't beat, you buy"! Lmao..:)
Geee...this sucks...I mean we all do know how much money microso has got....but its amusing to see microso trying its best to match up to its rival in the cyberspace- GOOGLE!
Yahoo needn't really sell itself away..but microso needs to buy it so as to compete wid google.

Maybe we can see a hybrid yahoo-msn IM..

Whatever maybe the outcome, it is pretty tough for microso to reach upto google's ranks!
All da best Microso...you will be needing it!
