The most beautiful actress of bollywood Kareena Kapoor is always in news, sometime for her zero size figure, sometime for her relationship with Saif and Shahid. These types of news created some kind of fear in her mind regarding her look.

The US smartphone market may continue to be dominated by mobile platforms from Apple, Microsoft, and RIM, but Linux has been creeping into ever more mobile devices in the last few years. Some Motorola RAZR 2 models have donned a Tux, Palm is looking to Linux to drive its next-generation consumer smartphones, and Android's backers hope to spread it to an even wider array of handsets. Linux is also driving many avant garde connected consumer electronics devices such as the Chumby, Nokia N810, Amazon Kindle, Dash Express, and whatever the fertile minds tinkering with Bug Labs' modules are envisioning,. Even the remote control that houses the user interface of
A little over a week ago I signed my wife and I up each for the Sprint SERO cell phone plan. We were already on Verizon Wireless. So why switch? First let me explain our Verizon experience:We had been looking into upgrading our phones since they were over two years old and we were due a credit for a new phone as part of Verizon's plan. We even went so far as to visit a few Verizon stores but I felt like I was getting the run-around at each. See I was supposed to get $100 towards a new phone. At each location I went to they told me only $50 even though when I called Verizon they confirmed the $100. Two of three of the stores pretended to not know about a buy-one-get-one-free offer that was being advertised. This didn't sit well with me. The next concern was cost. We had a family p

KUALA LUMPUR: The closed-circuit television cameras outside the Kuala Lumpur International Airport departure hall were not switched on during the shoot-out. And it was also revealed that the off-duty policeman, who was initially thought to have been caught in the crossfire, was involved in the shoot-out with the gunmen. The policeman, however, was hit twice and his police-issued semi-automatic pistol was taken by the gunmen. Federal Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Mohd Bakri Zinin said checks showed the CCTVs were switched on again after the five-minute shoot-out. "It has hampered police investigations. We were hoping that the footages from the CCTVs could have provided us with information about the gunmen," Bakri said. "What's the point of having C
Motherboard Trouble shootSome motherboards like Asrocks enjoy great popularity amongst those who want to upgrade, but are willing to spend relatively less. However, after the modification, the optical mouse glows even when the PC is switched off. Solvater Tip: This happens with some other motherboards also. The cause of this strange occurrence is an uncommon jumper put on the main board, which is responsible for the powering of the USB buses. The provides the USB bus with the standby power (+5VSB) to enable the switching ‘ON’ of the computer via USB or PS2 devices. Connected devices were continuously supplied with electricity in this way. If you change the position of the jumper from its 2/3 original position to the ½ pins, everything functions as usual and in a stable way. Note

Gone are the days of people spending their entire professional lives at one organisation. In these days of constant change, professionals don't stick around for too long, jumping profiles and companies at regular intervals, constantly on the look out for a better offer or a more challenging environment.However, from the company's point of view, the recruitment and training of employees costs a lot of money, thus making them cautious while hiring new candidates.While looking for suitable candidates, companies refrain from hiring professionals who frequently switch of jobs understanding the constant job switches to mean:Lack of commitmentInability to stick to one role for longBeing unreliableBeing money-mindedInability to get along with peopleLack of clarity in job profileIf the prospective

A switched-mode power supply, switching-mode power supply or SMPS, is an electronic power supply unit (PSU) that incorporates a switching regulator. While a linear regulator maintains the desired output voltage by dissipating excess power in a "pass" power transistor, the SMPS rapidly switches a power transistor between saturation (full on) and cutoff (completely off) with a variable duty cycle whose average is the desired output voltage. The resulting rectangular waveform is low-pass filtered with an inductor and capacitor. The main advantage of this method is greater efficiency because the switching transistor dissipates little power in the saturated state and the off state compared to the semiconducting state (active region). Other advantages include smaller size and lighter weight from
Switched Video, also called Switched Digital Video or SDV, is a telecommunications industry term for a network scheme for distributing digital video via a cable with limited capacity. Switched video sends the digital video in a more efficient manner so that additional uses may be made of the freed up bandwidth. The scheme applies to digital video distribution both on typical cable TV systems using QAM channels, or on IPTV systems. However, the advantages of SDV enabled networks come with a significant increase in network and video delivery complexity including: Increase in required network compute resourcesIncreased communication overheadReal-time association and switching of video flows to the home Cable MSOs across North America and Europe are already aware of the potential benefits and rewards of implementing Switched Digital Video (SDV) networks. By implementing SDV, cable MSOs will be better positioned to compete against the telcos and their promise of advanced services whi

Britney Spears album Blackout dropped last night at midnight and to celebrate, OK! reports that Britney and her BFF/cousin Alli Sims hit hotspot Winston’s. Other club-goers report Britney spent the entire evening either in the bathroom or dancing on her table. She did however, take a minute to tell the bartender that she admired her physique.You have nice t*ts! Mine are all saggy’!,” an eyewitness tells OK! Magazine. The bartender, somewhat dumbstruck by the comment, replied, ‘Thank you?!!’ Brit then asked the girl, “Do you wanna change? I wanna switch outfits!! Let’s switch!!’ “At this point, the bartender felt that she had no choice but to comply,” the eyewitness says. “The ladies proceeded to switch outfits and Britney happily walked back to her booth in the bartender’s duds. The bartender, clearly taken aback, but with a great attitude, went back behind the bar and continued serving drinks in Spear’s French maid outfit, telling patrons, ‘I’m wearing B

To some of you, this might seem odd, lame even to a few. But hey, I finally switched to adsense!I previously wrote about why I prefer bidvertiser than adsense. And boy, did i ever regret doing so. Dont get your conclusions clear yet, i have a few reasons (theyre good ones too!) why i finally changed to adsense.Layout compatibility is bad - This is one of the first things that i noticed while using bidvertiser. The Ads doesnt integrate with my layout. Or another for that matter. You know, the best way to earn more with pay-per-click ads is to not make them look like ads at all. This is pretty difficult thing to consider when using bidvertiser. Site navigation is below average - One needs to spend too much precious time spent on their site to configure ad settings. Once you want to re-do your ad configs, you have to go back to the main window and open 3-4 more windows to get the effect that you really want. Well, let me say it bluntly. . . Its not user-friendly!Earnings? Forget it. - Per

The news is good everybody! Remember my post about Switched Clothing's offer of free shipping on orders $30 or more? Well, this offer is now extended until April 20, 2007 and that's just only a fraction of the good news. The really good news is that Switched Clothing is giving away one Apple iPod Shuffle to the one who'll accumulate the most points! The second place winner gets 5 Free shirts of their choice and the third place winner gets 2 Free shirts of their choice. Pretty cool, ha? OK, now what are points and how do we get them? Points are a reword system that allows you to get some free stuff from Switched Clothing; 10,000 points can buy you a free t-shirt! There are a number of ways get to points; one is to register and automatically get 1000 point. Another is to buy a t-shirt and win 1000 points or refer someone that will purchase something in this time line using you as his/her referral and earn 1,000 points! Now, if you buy in one time 5 shirts you double your money, that i

Right now as I'm posting this, the blog is down because we are switching over to the new address.After it's back up, either today or tomorrow, I'll inform everybody. Blogger tells me that the old stuff should redirect to the new stuff, so none of your links will be dead, but I'll try to let you know anyway (so I get a higher Technorati ranking).
Phew and it didn't break!!!After saving my old template to a word document so that I could quickly grab any HTML/JavaScript that did not transfer to the beta version, I am now up and running. Gee it only took seconds to happen with very little to do afterwards. The buttons plus my counter were the only items that did not move to the beta version.I am using a different template to my original one and now all colours are consistent across my blogs. I did tone down the colour of the links as they were very strong on the black background. Also I didn't want the links competing with my images.I have tagged/labeled some of my threads. More will be done with time. I would imagine there is going to be quite a few updated threads showing up in Bloglines from tagging and I apologise for that but will make it so much easier for visitors to browse my blog. Also it gives you a chance to click on a tag in the left column to see what happens.Now I must concentrate on getting some painting done o
