Ileana is the hottest heroine in Tollywood. There is virtually no one to come anywhere close to her in terms of glamour and charisma among the audience. Ileana is a long legged beauty with a perfect hour glass figure.She has everything, good looks, great screen presence and also a figure to die for. But there is one 'small' issue. Many of her fans have only one complaint against her. Her bosom is not as well rounded and full as people would love to.Many actors like Sushmitha Sen, Rakhi Sawant etc. suffered from the same problem. But they rectified it with silicon implants and got their breasts enlarged. It is an altogether different matter than Rakhi Sawant later got the transplants removed as they were causing a lot of pain.It is understood that Ileana is now seriously toying with the ide

You may have seen them on t-shirts...or in the lobby of Yahoo! HQ in Sunnyvale. These, my friends, are the shoes off of David Filo's feet. While I will be conducting an interview with Filo sometime in the next few days, if luck is on my side these might be in my possession before the post is up. How, you ask? Today is a great event at Yahoo! called the "Free is Good Fair", where Yahoo! is working with Freecycle to have employees bring in stuff they don't want or need, and in turn they can take stuff they want from what has been brought in by others. Think of it as Craigslist without money...or "one man's junk is another man's treasure". I brought in several things, including sneakers and some snazzy soccer cleats--all in great shape. My guess is that you too have some sneakers y

By Ken McLaughlinMercury NewsArticle Launched: 04/24/2008 02:19:23 AM PDTAt the Asian supermarket 99 Ranch, the price of jasmine rice has already doubled this year. Across the street, Costco is rationing its 50-pound bags of discounted rice - if you can get them at all. And some Asian restaurants are even reconsidering their longstanding policy of refilling rice bowls for free.The worldwide rice shortage has come to Silicon Valley."There is no rice," said Rita Patel of San Jose, a native of India who couldn't find any at Costco on Hostetter Road in northeast San Jose on Tuesday night. In a valley where nearly 30 percent of residents are of Asian descent, people are increasingly frustrated by the soaring cost of the staple of Asian cuisine. Economists blame the price increases on everything

DATELINE: LONDONHaving just missed the street-smart, post-punk band Carbon/Silicon here in Boston (they played a sold out TTs earlier this month,) I thought I would take a few minutes and share a couple of CS tracks with you good readers.CS is the brainchild of Mick Jones (The Clash and Big Audio Dynamite) and Tony James (Generation X.) The creativity here was born in Punk Fire, but steeled in years of wizened editing, production and touring. The band has a particularly ironic lyric tradition and an edgy sound. Different and displaced from both artist's early musical backgrounds - CS has carved out new and often intelligent audiences.The Mick Jones we hear on these records is far more Big Audio Dynamite and BAD II than the man we knew with the Clash. The Tony James is less the angry youn

Based upon the book, Fire in the Valley: The Making of The Personal Computer, by Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine, this film documents the rise of the home computer/personal computer through the rivalry between Apple Computer (Apple II and the Apple Macintosh) and Microsoft (DOS, IBM PC, and Windows).The central story of the film begins in the early 1970s and ends in 1985 when Steve Jobs resigned from Apple Computer. The film is also structured by a set of "book ends": it begins and ends with Jobs' return to Apple in 1997.

The continuous bad press that silicone breast implants have been getting might rival Britney Spears ‘troubled’ escapades. While Britney Spears might not have the tag of health hazard [except to her own self] attached to her, breast implants have been linked with breast cancer for a long time.This belief is now being rejected by most Americans with recent epidemiological studies confirming the safety of silicone gel-filled breast implants.Dismissing the stigma attached to breast implant surgery, Dr. McLaughlin and his colleagues at the International Epidemiology Institute have this to say of the survey conducted b them, "We conclude that the weight of the epidemiologic evidence does not support a causal association between breast implants and breast or any other type of cancer, definite or atypical CTD, adverse offspring effects, or neurologic disease,"A comprehensive review further validated their claim when it revealed that silicone breast implants do not increase the risk of canc

Google shares were up $6.14 Thursday to finish at $639.62, leaving the 9-year-old company with a market value of just below $200 billion. That enabled Google to edge past Cisco as Silicon Valley's most valuable company.

Although it relies on complex technology, Google's formula is fairly simple. As it processes a search request, Google

In the legal game of ping pong that is the suit between Silicon Knights and Epic Games, the last volley was a counterclaim and a motion to dismiss from Epic. Epic's paperwork alleged that Silicon Knights'accusations were "lacking in factual or legal merit." SK's original claim against Epic basically said that Epic willfully "sabotaged" games using Unreal Engine 3, using money it got from selling the license to fund development of Gears of War. Epic argued that sabotaging its own licensees would end up costing the company money in the long run, and therefore made no sense. Silicon Knights scoffed at that argument, saying: Epic's assertion that it has 'a vested interest' in Silicon Knights' success and continued use of the Engine is far-fetched, at best. The profits Epic assured for itself by having Gears of War as the marquee title for the Xbox 360 dwarf any gain Epic would receive from Silicon Knights purchasing a subsequent licenses for the Engine.It's only going to get ug

Inspired by a true story of sexual harassment way yonder in California but also my current musings on the web 2.0 phenomenon, which are both favorable and unfavorable. Most people barely have the emotional skill sets to have real relationships in meatspace; life online only complicates matters. It's a catch-22: the internet brings people together, but also has the potential to kill intimacy.I still feel it's a tool, a means to an end, as easily manipulated by the end user as a good white lie and a poker face in conversation. Intuition is difficult to muster without flesh and bone and a voice to gauge. I do spend much time online because of my writing and art, but I also set boundaries in order to harvest what's best for me from that enormous net I've thrown into the sea.This phenomenon is particularly interesting for my generation because I didn't grow up on web 2.0, but I'm still young enough to be growing up on whatever new webs we are currently weaving (3.0? 4.0? 5.0?

A few weeks back, Silicon Knights sued Epic over its Unreal Engine 3 licensing agreement. In the suit SK alleged that Epic did not deliver workable game code when it was promised, effectively sabotaging the development of Too Human. SK is seeking a clean break from its agreement with Epic as well as damages to compensate for the time and expense of building its own game engine. According to GameDaily BIZ, Epic has filed a counterclaim stating that it has done nothing wrong and that SK is in fact trying to steal Epic’s engine technology to build its own: This lawsuit is a cynical effort by SK to unlawfully enrich itself at the expense of Epic Games… After having exploited Epic’s intellectual property to its advantage, SK now seeks to renege on its payment obligations… Epic is seeking injunctive relief, compensatory damages “in excess of $650,000” and the destruction of infringing goods. GameDaily BIZ spoke to SK’s attorney Chris Holland who commented: We don’t think E

Toyota's Prius hybrid has become the bestselling car in Silicon Valley. That must be because of the high concentration of smart people living and working there. They are probably more aware of the dire consequences of global warming.At 94,503 sales, the Prius represents just 1 percent of U.S. car and truck sales so far this year. In Santa Clara County, Prius registrations represent 5.3 percent of the market.The best selling car in Sweden (where I come from) is Volvo V70. It emits more than twice as much CO2 than a hybrid.

It’s correct name is silica, but everyone is refering to it with silicon. It is a strange animal, it has rules to abide to. It grows works. But not allways. Man how happy was i when i got my hands on my firs celleron. It worked at 400Mhz and it was a pure beast. Man how much the landscape changed since then … The CPUs had grownup, became faster, easier on the power usage, can be updated, and caught bugs. I never thought about cpu’s in this way … bugs, that should stay in the software land not hardware. And now what provoked all this. Intel Core 2 A short writeup from Teo De Raat from *BSD teams. Lots of darkness creeps in this thread. I start to wonder with so many shits in the silicon, what CPU to purchase for my next machine. Intel or AMD. Maybe not … Maybe MIPS or RISK, maybe even CELL based. Let alone

Siliken, a dynamic Spanish manufacturer of solar panels, has taken a step that will guarantee the supply of the essential raw material for their ambitious expansion plans. They are currently building what will be Spain´s first silicon plant, thus getting ahead of another Spanish manufacturer with similar plans, Isofoton. The latter partnered with the utility Endesa for the construction of a polysilicon plant in the Southern province of Cadiz (Andalusia) that is scheduled to be operational by 2009. Siliken is a young company that has been tripling its turnover each year since its inception seven years ago. Their dizzying growth has led to the need for this plant that will have a price tag of more than $135 million dollars and an initial output of 1,500 tonnes per year. One of the advantages favoring their expansion is the fact that they design and build their own machinery as well. Carlos Navarro, their CEO, boasts that they can have a new line in operation in two months after a de

The KPN takeover was looming large over the Tiscali Wholesale Annual Partner (ISP customer) Day I was invited to speak at, last Thursday. OPTA (the Dutch NRA) has spoken supportively of NMa’s (the Dutch competition watchdog) approval of KPN buying Tiscali NL. Closing is expected this month. I suppose KPN’s plans could be anywhere between fully dismantling Tiscali NL and maintaining it as a

No sé si la conoceréis, pero esta película cuenta la fundación y creación (desde sus inicios) de windows y su universo. Es muy interesante y a pesar de ser antigua (1999), muchas de las críticas que hoy se hacen a Bill Gates y windows se ven retratadas en la película.Aquí os dejo el link en el que podréis ver la película completa (via web).

The first systematic study of a new group of explosives has concluded that the materials are so shock sensitive — apt to detonate if struck or heated — that the legendarily touchy nitroglycerin seems a pillar of stability by comparison. Conducted by Thomas M. Klapötke and colleagues in Germany. (more…)

The QuirkStation's latest recruit, Damian, recently burst onto the sacred turf of Gottaquirk (thanks for that Nic) with his blog post on the future of film. Being a bit of a cinephile (please look at the Wiktionary definition before calling the cops on me) I eventually came across this article in the New York Times: Comedy Business Turns to the Web. It turns out that Will Ferrell, he of Mugatu and Ron Burgundy fame, has recently been thinking along the same lines as Damian. Two months ago he invited a small production crew and a camcorder to the guest-cottage in his Los Angeles home. Included in this crew were Ferrell's production partner, Adam McKay, and McKay's 2-year-old daughter, Pearl. 45 minutes later they had sufficient footage to complete a sketch of Ferrell's down and out tenant being harassed by his foul-mouthed, beer guzzling landlord. The actor playing the landlord - Pearl. The next step? Post it on Ferrell and McKay's relatively new video site, Funny Or Die.com. The

The aim of the concept is wide usage of alternative and experimental materials for the interior and exterior design. The body of the prototype is made of fiber silicon so it can not be deformed in case of an accident and also it can change shape, modifying the configuration of the vehicle to the more spacious or more compact, depending on the preferences of use.Designer: Alexander Kotlyarevsky

Interesting. via TechCrunch - Silicon Valley Could Use A Downturn Right About Now"When I look back at the pictures from those early events, I remember good times, and no one was talking about twenty million dollar venture rounds or selling out for a cool $1.65 billion. Companies like Meebo and Sphere literally launched in my living room in front of a couple of hundred genuinely interested people.Somewhere in there the money started rolling in. Our first dime of revenue was December 2005. A few months later a lot of companies were raising $3 million A rounds, then $7 million A rounds after the YouTube acquisition. Companies started to hire marketing managers and PR firms, and spending tens of thousands of dollars on launch parties. Now, a year after the madness started, it’s even worse. Companies have to actively dodge venture capitalists to avoid raising a big round of financing.Times are good, money is flowing, and Silicon Valley sucks.I don’t know what it is, but the same thing h

A breakthrough in this promising field of nanoelectronics could revolutionize the design of digital devicesA new generation of electronics that are vastly smaller, faster, and more power-efficient came closer to fruition this month thanks to the work of a team of U.S. scientists.As described in this month's academic journal Nature (subscription required), professors Ian Appelbaum and Biqin Huang of the University of Delaware and Douwe Monsma of Massachusetts-based Cambridge NanoTech have succeeded in creating a working spintronic device based on conventional silicon.Spintronics is a promising approach to creating electronic devices that store information based on the spin of electrons, rather than the more cumbersome conventional method of relying on the electron's charge.An electron's spin refers to its directional rotation. Unlike a spinning tire or a toy top, an electron's spin is a quantum property, and thus a constant value that does not change. Scientists are working to harn

Expanding (or is that expounding) on a recent Silicon.com article. IT is constantly evolving and the userbase evolves with it. Most people are mini IT managers in their own homes now, managing infrastructure and services for the kids or spouses (or friends) - don't we all know a 'computer expert' in the family? Our industry (the IT one) has to recognise this evolution which is why I'm all for the DIY approach to the majority of user problems. The caveat is where to draw the line as there is always a grey area - because a little knowledge can be dangerous too.Often I'll get phoned up with a problem and the result is a simple reboot, either of a broadband router, a laptop, PC, Printer or some other device. Problems that need reboots occur and will likely always occur as it's very difficult to diagnose or fix some problems until they arise. I frequently tell users that the first things they must check is a) That everything is plugged in that is supposed to be plugged in b) That eve

Due for release next month, pricing details are as yet unavailable. [Source | Gizmodo] Click to Bookmark or Share this post.
