The Legacy Of Titanic

9:24 PM Posted In Edit This 4 Comments »
The Titanic was a British registered four funnelled ocean liner built for the transatlantic passenger and mail service between Southampton and New York.Constructed at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland she was, at the time of her maiden voyage, the largest vessel afloat. It cost $7,500,000 to build the Titanic. Today it would cost an estimated $400,000,000. It took 3 years to completely construct and outfit the Titanic.

On April 10th 1912 the Titanic set sail from Southampton with 2,200 passengers and crew, four days later the Titanic collided with an iceberg and sank. 1500 people died and 700 survived.

The legacy of Titanic was immortalized in award winning James Cameron film in 1997.

Jane McGrath,wife of former Australian Cricketer, Glenn McGrath died at the age of 42 owing to breast cancer. She had been battling the disease for 11 years. It is said that behind every successful man there is a woman. It is true. Glenn McGrath had Jane to support him always. The couple has two young children. It is also learnt that she has been the source of inspiration for many Australian cricketers. We, the fourfreaks, extend our heart-felt condolences to McGrath and his children.

Dhoni surpasses Sachin!!!

11:01 AM Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »
For the past 18 years Sachin had been the top engrosser among the celebrities, but now Mahendra Singh Dhoni,the Captain of Indian Cricket team,has taken control of the thrown. MS Dhoni previously charged around 20 to 40 lakhs per endorsement. His demand increased when he became the captain of Indian Cricket Team. His gained popularity when the team won the Twenty 20 World Cup. He is the only Captian to bring enormous glory after Kapil Dev. His sucessive wins against Australia in the finals and the outstanding performance inthe IPL series took him to peak and the result made him gain the King's thrown. Ms Dhoni will now earn around huge sum of 50 Crores per year. Sachin follows him with big figure of 35 Crores.Let me list the top engrossers.

MS Dhoni - 50 Crores
SR Tendulkar - 35 Crores
R Dravid - 25 Crores
Yuvraj Singh - 19 Crores
V Sehwag - 10 Crores
Ishant Sharma - 10 Crores

It is also known that Dhoni was the highest bidded person(6 Crores) in the IPL series standing far from Sachin who was bidded for 4.5 Crores. It is also estimated that Dhoni will be bidded for around 60 Crores in the next IPL season. It is believed that he will be most wanted man in few years. Of course, he deserves them a lot because he is a always a consummate performer and a cool captain. He should be thankful to the Greatest Cricketer,Sachin, because he won the finals against Australia single handedly.

Well guys, wondering how to earn so much?? Then i have a solution for you!!!

!Another Lost Battle!

2:14 AM Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »

For the big time Windies fan... the result of the recently concluded series at home is not a big surprise! Its a trend that has remained constant for ages! But the average fan always hopes!

Though the series was conceded... the battle was well fought! There was a notable change in the attitude of this renascent side which had the Aussies sweat for victory!

The Aussies certainly deserve praise for managing triumph without the likes of the biggies Warney, McGrath, Gilly, Martyn and also Hayden, who was rested due to injury! They are never short of replacements, but surely they are not as invincible as they were! The really admirable feature of this team is that someone or the other steps to fore helming the team to a comfortable position! Even the Aussies had their moments of heebie-jeebies during the series but they never took it to their heads, and of course thats characteristic of a World Champion!

The Windies on the other hand had their moments of brilliance but such moments werent produced consistently enough! The past six months have been really heartening for the typical Windies fan... first ever victory in South African soil... a really good home series against the Lankans and now a not so bad series with the Aussies!


There was good promise shown by a few men who could have changed the fate of the series had they capitalized on the decent starts they had manged! Among the quickies it was nice to watch Edwards and Taylor amidst the wickets, but their opening counterpart Powell being less penetrative this time around! The current pace trio, cloccking good speeds have brought back some sting int the attack which was long missing! And there were noteworthy performances from Bravo and the new bloke Xavier Marshall! Marshall was really astonishing, never seemed like he was a new chap, beating back the attack! And Bravo much to the disappointment of fans couldnt convert any of his good starts into biggies!


The final words of this post are duly reserved for the old war horse Chanders! At the beginning, the series was perceived to be a stroll in the park for the kangaroos... But for this man, the series would have gone the perceived way! Throughout the series, Chanders lifting his bat, became rather a familiar site, invariably standing tall amidst ruins! And his inspirational knock in the second test at Kingston certainly needs mention, Lying unresponsive getting hit by a vicious Brett Lee bouncer... and later continuing with his song as if nothing had happened! He was notably the only one who had unendingly bothered the Aussies! Deservedly the Man of the Series!


The T20 and the ODI series are still at stake!
But I'm a typical Windies fan... So got no expectations, but always hoping!

Gadgets Of the Week----Part 2

SMS PEN

D:Scribe is a digital fountain pen that allows users to send SMS and email messages from paper. Just write out the message and circle the person’s name to send. This does away with a keypad and allows you to focus on communicating in a more personal way from anywhere as long as you have a bluetooth enabled phone and a surface to write on. The pen also records everything you write which can be accessed on a computer. Of course for the creative peeps, if writing doesn’t suit your fancy, the D:Scribe also works with genius and not so genius drawings of brilliance.

The design is loosely based on a quill and inkwell where by the quill is the writing apparatus and the inkwell is an electromagnetic induction charger.

Once a message is sent, the status is displayed on the built-in OLED screen. The designers have also expanded its capabilities beyond that of messaging. Should your home electronics and appliances be bluetooth enabled, you could potentially program the pen to input commands by writing in the air. A little abstract but lets pretend this idea is more a patent for possibilities.

TOUCH KEYBOARD


While we love touch surfaces, as people who type hundreds of thousands a word each week we know that there is a limit to them: keyboards. Like this Optimus Tactus, an extruded shape/touch surface/keyboard concept by Art.Lebedev. We really like the soon-to-be-released Optimus keyboard Art but, seriously, how often do you type on your computer?


I can imagine that artists, musicians and video editors would like something like this... however, there are solid LCD tablet displays and Tablet PCs on the market already. Experience shows that, for the time being, it's a limited market. Further limiting it to a keyboard replacement could be economically impractical at best, never mind how practical this could be. The issue of the price is the other key here: by the time a touch surface keyboard could be a commercial reality coming from China via Moscow, touch computing from Apple and Microsoft would be so ubiquitous that it won't make sense anymore!!!

Vantage Point !!!!

9:13 PM Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Well done Pete Travis !!! This director has made the movie an action packed thriller. He has worked hard in distinguishing the characters to make it simple on screen. He rewinds the movie for each character and explains their part to make the story. It all starts at Salamanca, Spain. 150 leaders from all the world have gathered there for a Peace summit aimed at extirpating Terrorism. Rex,the GNN news coordinator, is busy with her works covering the summit with Angie's help. The leaders are at the stage. The US President, Mr.Ashton, is ready to deliver his speech. Suddenly he is shot twice- the story catches fire here. The Potus is down. After few seconds the stage blasts. Here it blazes. The rewind starts here focusing the Secret Service Agent- Barnes. Barnes gets the help of Rex and Howard Lewis to find the suspect. Meanwhile there are few more rewinds describing Enrique, a local cop, who hands over a bomb to Veronica. She is the lover of Enrique but he finds fault with her which makes him go to the underpass with a gun. Howard Lewis runs behind Enrique.There he sees his small friend, Anna. The Security of the President had confirmed a threat and had arranged the double for the summit. They are glad that they were smart. But Veronica and Saurez (the Master mind) have kidnapped a man and made his brother to kidnap the Original Potus. And he does it successfully.They take him in an ambulance at the underpass. Barnes co-worker, Kent, had turned a rogue, who also comes to the underpass. Barnes chasing him reaches the place.

The Underpass:

This scene made me pause the movie for a while. The director does magic here creating tension in all minds. All- Barnes, Kent, Howard Lewis, Enrique, Veronica, Saurez, Potus, Anna and the kidnapper are here the same second. Anna crosses the road to get to her mom but she goes shocked on seeing a an ambulance speeding towards her. The ambulance had Veronica, Saurez and the Potus. Meanwhile Barnes, Kent, Enrique and the kidnapper come in face to face. And suddenly BANG! BANG!! BANG!!! Gunshots....

1) What happened to the Original Potus?
2) Was Anna killed in the accident?
3) Was Barnes killed?
4) What happened to the summit?

Well!!! sorry guys.... I won't be telling the climax, because the movie so great that you should not miss any scenes... Movies like these come out once in a while. Lets not miss them.

Vantage Point- Roller coaster !!!!!

Starring:

Dennis Quaid(Thomas Barnes), Matthew Fox (kent), Forest Whitaker(Howard Lewis), Saïd Taghmaoui(Suarez), Ayelet Zurer(Veronica), Sigourney Weaver(Rex Brooks), William Hurt(President Ashton), Eduardo Noriega(Enrique).

!Identity Crisis!

11:27 PM Posted In Edit This 5 Comments »

Its often believed that each individual is unique! Only that uniqueness gives the individual his/her identity! Heres a sweet little story which you would unquestionably love! Read on:

A middle aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.
While on the operating table she had a near death experience.

Seeing God She asked "Is my time up?"
God said, "No, you have another 43
years, 2 months and 8 days to live."

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a
Facelift, liposuction and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in
and change her hair color! Since she had so much more time to live,
she figured she might as well make the most of it.
After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.

While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had
another 40 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the
ambulance?"

GOD REPLIED,

"I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU!"

Its funny that people spend time and currency to look like someone who they are actually not! Think its better to carry the original identity!
