Earn money blogging at PayingPost !

Blogging is a way to express ones feeling about the surrounding world, so that any one have a look at the post can learn the feelings of a person even though both haven’t interacted. But blogging can be made as a source of profit by using the concepts of Blog advertisements. Note: Blogging should not be primarily intended in earning money. The simple way advertise on blogs is to sign up with payingpost.com which I found while surfing the net. I just found that this is the quickest and the easiest way to earn money through just writing and publishing posts in your own blog. This post, in fact, states you clearly why I signed up for PAYINGPOST.COM and what I hope to achieve with it, will earn me $5 ! It does seem strange, that I would be writing something to be paid. But in reality, I would have written this exact same post whether I was paid or not. It’s simply a matter of connections - which is what PAYINGPOST.COM is all about.

Before I knew about how to create my blog, I have been waiting to express my feelings as I was already reading some blogs of my friends. I didn’t know that I can even make money from blogging. While I was reading the blog of my friend about her new entry on “I signed up for PAYINGPOST.COM, I was wondering what it’s all about. I click on their website and it is a site for blog ads. So I decided to open an account with them. It was from my friend that I have learned about blog ads and how reliable their site and aside from that it’s another way of earning at your own pace. This is a perfect opportunity for anyone to have additional income after their regular work hours.

Windows 7 first looks - Screen shots - Xclusive!

Microsoft on Tuesday took the wraps of the preview version of Windows 7, which will be the successor to Vista. Julie Larson Green, Microsoft’s vice president for Windows experience, hosted a demo in which she walked attendees through the features of the operating system.At first glance, Windows 7 maintains the streamlined look of Vista, but appears more muted — even Windows XP-like. Mostly, Microsoft seems to be focusing more on functionality, possibly in a bid to put some distance between Windows 7 and the criticisms which have dogged Vista.

Most obviously, a quick tour through Windows 7 reveals its new taskbar, which is sparser than in previous iterations of the OS. From the screen shots, it’s clear that Microsoft has listened to criticism and tuned many features, including search and access to security controls. The look and feel of the user interface is also highly customizable. The version of Windows 7 previewed at PDC is technically a pre-beta release. The official shipment of the final version is expected in about a year’s time.

$10M for world changing idea - only from Google!!

Google Inc., which is celebrating its 10th birthday this month, today unveiled a $10 million effort to implement ideas that can “change the world by helping as many people as possible.” As part of the Project 10^100 (pronounced Project 10 to the 100th), Google plans to ask its users to submit ideas until Oct. 20 for ways to improve people’s lives. Google will choose what it feels are the 100 best ideas and then allow its users to vote on which of them should be funded. The users will narrow the results to 20 finalists, and a panel of judges will choose up to five ideas that will receive funding, Google said.
Google noted that the ideas can be big or small, technology-driven or not. But they do have to have a potential positive impact on the world. The company cited an example of two people coming up with an idea to help millions of people carry water long distances by designing the Hippo Water Roller, a relatively inexpensive 24-gallon container that can be easily wheeled on the ground. The categories for the project include, but are not limited to, community, energy, environment, health, education, shelter and opportunities for people to better provide for themselves and their families. Start thinking!!!!

Google to bring back old newspapers

Google is redoubling efforts to offer a digital archive of the world’s newspapers. Two years ago, the search giant began indexing the existing digital archives of papers like The New York Times and The Washington Post, and today, with a post to The Official Google Blog, the company said it’s now working with other publishers to bring a much broader range of old newsprint into the project. “We’re launching an initiative to make more old newspapers accessible and searchable online by partnering with newspaper publishers to digitize millions of pages of news archives,” the post says. “Not only will you be able to search these newspapers, you’ll also be able to browse through them exactly as they were printed - photographs, headlines, articles, advertisements and all.”

Partners include the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph, the oldest newspaper in North America at 244 years. They don’t include even older papers from across the pond. This newly digitized content is available through the Google News Archive, accessible via the main Google News site. “Stories we’ve scanned under this initiative will appear alongside already-digitized material from publications like the New York Times as well as from archive aggregators, and are marked ‘Google News Archive,’” the post continues. “Over time, as we scan more articles and our index grows, we’ll also start blending these archives into our main search results so that when you search Google.com, you’ll be searching the full text of these newspapers as well.”

Microsoft Kicks off new Windows Campaign with Star Power

After seeing the new ad from Microsoft, which debuted on September, some may wonder what Jerry Seinfeld helping Bill Gates pick out a new pair of shoes has to do with software. The answer, in the classic Seinfeld sense of the word, is nothing. Nevertheless, the spot is the first and most visible sign of an ambitious effort by Microsoft’s Windows business to reconnect with consumers around the globe.
The new campaign will highlight how Windows has become an indispensible part of the lives of a billion people around the globe -- not only on PCs but also now online and via mobile devices. It will illustrate how Windows integrates consumer experiences across PCs, online and on mobile phones through Windows Vista, Windows Live and Windows Mobile. Microsoft is working with retail partners and PC manufacturers to enhance the experience consumers have with Windows at every touch-point: 
Major retailers, such as Circuit City and Best Buy, will begin rolling out Windows-branded sales environments and store-within-a-store concepts; 
Major PC manufactures including HP, Dell, Sony and Lenovo are working with Microsoft to enhance key areas of the PC experience, including speeding up startup and shut-down time and sleep and resume speeds;
Windows.com has been revamped and will point consumer to specific Windows products and experiences that deliver.
These initial ads are the first in a creative campaign by the award-winning advertising agency Crispin, Porter + Bogusky, designed to spark a conversation about the Windows brand – a conversation that will evolve as the campaign progresses, but will always be marked by humor and humanity. 
“Windows is entering a new chapter in our history,” says Bill Veghte, Senior Vice President, Online Services & Windows Business Group. “We’re renewing our commitment to consumers and working with our partners to deliver quality and value on the PC, across devices and across the Web.”
This effort extends to close collaboration with device manufacturers in optimizing performance, a renewed retail sales philosophy designed to help people understand their technology needs, and a new Web presence that serves people the same way in-store sales staff would.

Google Dominates

Comscore as well as Nielsen Netratings estimated Google’s U.S. search engine market at more than 60% in July. While the market research firms have come up with substantially different numbers for their July report, both agree that Google now runs more than three times the numbers of searches of its closest rival and more than twice the searches of Yahoo and Microsoft combined. Comscore and Nielsen Netratings posted market share numbers for Google at greater than 60% for the second time this year. However, while the April result could have been considered as a blip, the July result fits the pattern of Google chipping away market share from its rivals, bit by bit.
Nielsen Netratings estimates that Google was used for 60.2% or more than 4.8 billion of 8.0 billion searches started by U.S. users during the month of July. Comcast came up with a 61.9% share for Google and 7.3 billion searches of a total of a total of 11.8 billion. Both Yahoo and Microsoft keep losing ground: Nielsen puts the two companies at 17.4% and 11.9%, Comscore at 20.5% and 8.9%. Google’s market share gains appear to have accelerated in 2008, with much stronger growth than in previous years. According to Nielsen Netratings, Google had a market share of 46.2% in July 2005, 49.2% in July 2006 and 53.3% in July 2007. Over the past year, Google was able to increase its market share by almost seven percentage points – more than in any other 12-month period before.

EA unveils Godfather 2

Electronic Arts is once again hoping to profit from Mario Puzo’s mafioso drama with a sequel to their surprisingly competent Godfather game (pictured above), cleverly dubbed Godfather 2. The new entry in the series, scheduled for release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC platforms in February of 2009, sees the story expand to include criminal operations in Cuba, Florida and Godfather mainstay New York City.

Key to this new crime empire is the customized crew system. “Each family member specializes in a specific field such as demolitions, arson, engineering, first-aid and more. As The Don you control the family, sending some of your men on missions while heading off into action with others,” the official press release explains. Players will once again roam open-world environments as the newly appointed Don of New York. In keeping with the new position of leadership, players will handle strategic organizational aspects of the mob, like establishing and maintaining criminal endeavors and creating a stable of Made Men.

Intel's graphic chip line - Intel Larrabee

Intel has unveiled details of the chip that will spearhead its move into computer graphics. It has revealed blueprints for the Larrabee chip that is scheduled to first appear in finished products in late 2009 or early 2010. Larrabee will be a stand-alone graphics processor unlike the onboard chips it produces for many PC makers. The move will bring Intel into direct competition with graphics specialists Nvidia and the ATI division of AMD. Intel is aiming to put Larrabee into graphics cards for PCs that help show games and video in very high detail. Like existing graphics chips from Nvidia and ATI, Larrabee is expected to have many separate processing cores onboard.

So far Intel has not said how many processing cores Larrabee will have onboard at launch or in subsequent generations. Future Nvidia and ATI graphics chips are expected to be made up of several hundred cores. While Intel will initially target the PC graphics card market, it expects the raw computer power in the chip to help with oil and gas exploration, medical imaging and financial services in the future. Many scientists and researchers already use coupled graphics cards as a desktop supercomputer that helps them carry out simulations far faster and cheaper than on a larger dedicated machine. Intel said it would release more details about Larrabee at the upcoming Siggraph computer graphics conference due to be held in Los Angeles from 12-15 August.

Toyota introduced Winglet, Segway competition

Toyota Motor on Friday showed off a new stand-up scooter that could one day be seen zipping alongside the Segway on the personal-transporter superhighway. The “Winglet” has a body the size of an A3 sheet of paper that houses an electric motor, two wheels, and internal sensors that constantly monitor the rider’s position and make adjustments in power to ensure stability. A parallel link mechanism lets riders go forward, backward, and turn by shifting body weight, making the Winglet potentially useful for maneuvering in tight spaces or crowded urban environments. Riders can cruise around at a leisurely 3.7 mph–not ideal for rushing to a meeting, but nice for scooting around a shopping mall, perhaps. (The Segway, by comparison, can hit 12.5 mph.)

The Winglet comes in small, medium, and large sizes ranging in height from 18 inches to 3 feet 8 inches, with handlebars that also rise to different levels. All three models are about 18 inches wide and 10 inches long. The smallest version weighs 22 pounds, and can be folded and tossed into a (big) bag for optimal shoulder dislocation. All versions of the device take an hour to charge. No word yet on when we might see commuters atop the contraptions. The company will start testing the vehicle this fall at a Japanese airport and a seaside resort. More testing is planned for 2009 at shopping complexes and other bustling locales.

LG introduces Blu-Ray player with Netflix support

On Thursday, LG Electronics launched the LG BD300 Network Blu-ray Disc player, a DVD player that will play both Blu-ray and standard definition discs. As a bonus, the player will also allow consumers to instantly stream any of the 12,000 movies and TV episodes available to Netflix subscribers. With a wired broadband connection, Netflix members can access their account information and “Queue” via the BD300. Once there, customers can browse movie selections, read synopses, and rate movies. They will also be able to pause, fast forward, and rewind their film choices with the BD300’s remote control.

The player also features LG’s BD Live functionality that provides bonus content, real-time extras, and special picture-in-picture access for selected Blu-ray discs. This is not Netflix’s first foray into the set-top box arena; their streaming capabilities can be found in the Netflix Player by Roku, a product that offers Netflix account access and content streaming without a PC but is not a disc player. The company also recently announced that they will partner with Microsoft’s Xbox Live service for the Xbox 360 this fall. Xbox Live Gold members can already buy and store content on their consoles, but those who also have Netflix accounts will be able to stream Netflix movies to their Xbox as well.

Robot exclusive picture!!

Hello to all visitors of Oabs ....Here's a picture of Rajni in Robot - the next dream project of director Shankar ( or is it his dream of a lifetime project??)  ... There's lots of speculation running about this movie whether is it Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or Shriya Saran who is the lead lady of the movie ... 

But my doubt is that now dialogue writer is late and still his name is included in the picture.... This picture original or not i don't know but its nicely made for sure ....
Here's some news about robot music ...
It is known news that Rahman has been roped in to compose the tunes for the ambitious venture of Shankar ‘Robot‘ which stars superstar Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai in the lead. Reports say that Rahman is said to have charged a whopping Ten Crores for churning out the tunes for this project.
Given the nature of Shankar and the magnanimity of the movie, it looks like every penny is worth spending on Rahman and the musical maestro has already got on to the job of composing and creation which means that his mammoth remuneration has been accepted. It now remains to be seen how far will Rahman justify his fee for this heavy duty film.

Google launches Lively a virtual world

A really bad news for Second Life: Google is launching a new service today called Lively, a browser based virtual world add-on that lets users create and customize avatars and worlds, interact with other users, and generally have a richer social interaction than is offered by GTalk today. Worlds can be embedded into web pages, although only Windows users on IE or Firefox can view them, after an add-on download and installation. Mac and Linux users will have to wait for now.

Google has created a number of sample rooms that can be copied and altered, or users can start from scratch and build their own world. Furniture and other items can be added and moved around. Avatars can talk to each other, do things like dance and shake hands, and manipulate objects (in a demo, my avatar was able to blow up drums of toxic waste by double clicking on them. Users can also, of course, chat with each other - GTalk is the underlying chat engine. This isn’t yet a full Second Life competitor. There’s no single world, for example, where users can move around. But it’s easy to see Google evolving this into a single online world. And then, of course, selling advertising into it.

Microsoft buys “human” search engine Powerset

Microsoft has agreed to buy Silicon Valley semantic search engine Powerset, say reports. According to Venture Beat, the deal could happen as early as next month with a price tag in the $100 million range - more than double the estimated value of the company. The Powerset search engine first debuted in May. It strives to be different than say Google and Yahoo by giving you more meaningful and smarter search results than other search engines. Using simple phrases, short questions, and of course keywords, Powerset is supposed to understand what you are looking for and help you quickly find the information you need. We reviewed the beta version of the search engine in May and we were not impressed.
Ever since Microsoft’s failed bid for Yahoo, the company has been searching for another way to compete with Google. Powerset’s natural language or semantic based technology would seem to fit in with Microsoft’s current strategy as we reported last month. Natural language search is one of several new concepts for the next evolution of search engine technology. As we discussed in May, Powerset is designed to “understand what you are looking for and help you quickly find the information you need” using short phrases, questions and keywords instead of the traditional Google method that takes keywords and ranks Internet links based on a website’s popularity.
                                                                                                                                     Source: PC World

The End of Windows XP on Monday, June 30 !

After delays, delays, and rumors of more delays, the era of Windows XP has finally reached its final hours. Microsoft has made it official: Monday, June 30 will be the last day Microsoft sells XP to the masses. In fact, some companies have already stopped offering XP as an option on new machines as they prep for the switchover. 

Earlier rumors that Microsoft might extend the sales date have proven untrue, as Microsoft has reiterated that, indeed, June 30 will be the final sales date cut-off for the product. That's it. It's a Vista world now.

Loopholes will remain for some PC makers for some months to come, namely those who are building ultra-low-cost computers that aren't powerful enough for Vista. (Though some machines in this class, like HP's Mini-Note, actually come with Vista anyway.) For at least the rest of the year, downgrades remain an option for many PC purchasers too, though you'll have to jump through some hoops, and possibly pay extra, in order to get XP. 

As I've written several times (and reassured many of you in email responses), XP fans needn't panic about the loss of XP. Even if you don't have a copy on hand, the product will be available through many channels for years to come (and likely forever), through both retail outlets and the aftermarket. As I type this, nearly 1,000 copies of XP are on sale on eBay, where they usually sell for less than $100. 

In other news, Microsoft has recently pledged to keep supporting XP, including the release of security updates, all the way through 2014. So XP users needn't fret that you'll suddenly be victimized by hackers due to unpatched security flaws. Updates should work exactly as you're used to them currently through the Windows Update system.

Diablo III - first looks!!

Woot!!!! Its Diablo III!!!

After many years, we finally get some screens and video footage of what is probably the most highly anticipated RPG of all time. Blizzard announced this new title at their World Wide Invitational in Paris. There is little info about the game so far apart from the game footage and screens, but below is an informative article. Be sure to leave a comment if you know anything i don’t  

Before you continue reading, there are two videos you should watch. The Gameplay video page on which the article below can be found and the Cinematic trailer video. Enjoy!!



Okay, that looks like fun. The exploding worm dude is nasty.
”Diablo III is first and foremost a co-operative game,” that’s the message from Blizzard. They’re not expecting you to play this on your own, so we’re looking at plenty of online options for slashing our way through those dungeons. The campaign is said to be of a similar length to that of Diablo II, with NPCs and story events taking place within the game world. The campaign will apparently feature a mixture of both randomly generated and hand-made static dungeons.
Diablo III is going to be delivered in a brand new, “real-physics” 3D engine developed by Blizzard. The game is so far confirmed for PC and Mac, and Blizzard have “no plans” at present to become console developers. It’s going to be supported by the revised version of Battlenet, which will go live with Starcraft II later this year.

PvP features are “planned” but there’s no information on them so far, and the same goes for trading items.
Barbarian and Witchdoctor classes have been seen so far, so that’s fighter and summoner-wizard-shaman-type fantasy archetypes covered.



The release date is “when it’s done”, but it’s traditional for announcement-to-release to be just under a year for Blizzard games, so we’re looking at having it in time for Christmas 2009. The title has already been in development for four years, so that’s looking like a fairly realistic guess.

XP: kill a Windows process from the command line with taskkill

The ability to perform tasks from a system's command line allows those tasks to be used in batch files.This post describes several uses of taskkill to terminate Windows processes.

If you know the name of a process to kill, for example notepad.exe, use the following command from a command prompt to end it: 

taskkill /IM notepad.exe

This will cause the program to terminate by asking for confirmation if there are unsaved changes.
To forcefully kill the same process, add the /F option to the command line. Be careful with the /F option as it will terminate all matching processes without confirmation.


To kill a single instance of a process, specify its process id (PID). For example, if the desired process has a PID of 827, use the following command to kill it:

taskkill /PID 827

Using filters, a variety of different patterns can be used to specify the processes to kill. For example, the following filter syntax will forcefully kill all processes owned by the user Quinn:

taskkill /F /FI "USERNAME eq Quinn"

The following table shows the available filters and their use.

Filter Name   Valid Operators     Valid Value(s)
-----------      ---------------      --------------

STATUS                eq ne                     RUNNING | NOT RESPONDING

Firefox 3: Change Download Location in XP, Vista, or OS X

Many users want to change the default download location for firefox. Following these directions will allow the user to set the firefox 3 download folder or directory in any windows or OS X computer. How to set it to prompt for location is also covered.

Although it drives many people crazy, I love downloading software to my desktop. I think it's the most convenient place. Other people like a specialized folder/directory for downloads. Either way, here is how to set the download location in firefox 3. 

1. On windows XP or Vista boxes, you will need to select the Options selection from the Tools menu. On OS X boxes, select the Preferences menu from the Firefox menu. The rest of the steps are the same. 

2. In the window that appears, select the Main tab. 

3. In the Downloads section, browse and select your desired location in the Save files to textbox. You can also decide if you want firefox to prompt you for the download location for each download by selecting the Always ask me where to save files option.

Firefox 3: Automatically Close the Download Manager When Downloads Complete

If you're tired of having to close your Download Manager after you finish downloading files, you can configure Firefox to automatically close the Download Manager when the files have finished downloading.

1. Open Firefox 3. 

2. In the Location Bar, input about:config. 

3. Scroll down to browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone, double-click it to change the value from false to true. 

Now the Download Manager will close by itself when the file(s) have finished downloading. 

To change it back to the original setting, repeat the above steps and change browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone to false.

World's top 500 super computers

The latest TOP500 list – a collection of the fastest supercomputers in the world – has been released by its creators, and there’s some big wins for certain manufacturers. The list, published this week on the TOP500 site, gives the number one spot to IBM’s Roadrunner , system installed at the US Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory and hitting a staggering 1.026 petaflops/s – the first supercomputer to break the petaflop milestone.At the same time, Roadrunner is also one of the most energy efficient systems on the Top500.According to IBM, the key to this remarkable achievement was the use of Cell Broadband Engine processors – the same chips that are used in Sony’s PlayStation 3 console.

In fact, this 31st incarnation of the list has been extremely kind to Big Blue – IBM systems account for almost half the systems listed. Intel has been doing well, too: 75 percent of the systems present in the list use one or another of their processors, and systems based around quad-core processors use Intel almost exclusively. Intel’s growth has come at a cost to its main competitor, however: AMD sees its share of the list drop from 15.8 percent back in November last year to just 11 percent in this latest compilation. With Intel storming the charts, and IBM’s radical Cell Broadband Engine proving its mettle, it’s clear that AMD is going to have to pull something pretty special out of the R&D hat if it doesn’t want to concede the high-performance computing market.

Dasavatharam movie review

Direction: K S Ravikumar

Music: Himesh Reshammiya

Production: Aascar V Ravichandran

Before going into anything else, let me first answer the question that must be running through everyone's mind. Is the movie worth all the hype and hoopla surrounding it? Is it a must watch movie? The answer to both is a very resounding YES!!!

Having said that, i must also make it clear that the movie has its flaws, and it even fails at something that is always expected in a Kamal movie- the actor's versatile acting. Though there are moments in the movie where Kamal shows why he can be called the most versatle actor India has ever produced, and there is clearly no doubt that Kamal is indeed a very versatile actor, but the extensive make-up for few roles just make it impossible for Kamal to emote and his acting poweress is seen only in the body language of the actor in these roles.

And talking about the make-up, so much was talked about it that one really believed that Kamal would not be identified in few of the roles, but the roles clearly stand out because of their pathetic make-up and as previously said, he make up also weighs down the actor from showing his acting skills. Especially the roles of Kalifullah Khan and Christian Fletcher. They look so odd with the make-up, they seem almost in-human.

The movie also has a weak storyline, but the 10 characters are beautifully brought together to form the jig-saw puzzle that is Dasavatharam.



The story begins with the Scientist Kamal(Govind Ramasamy) recounting his adventures at a ceremony to commemorate his services to the world. The story, as said by Govind, then shifts to 12th century Tamil Nadu where we witness Rangaraja Nambi being drowned along with the Vishnu Idol by a Shivaite king. Nambi's wife(Asin) also kills herself after witnessing her husband's death.

We then come to modern day(well, Dec 2004) to witness the creation of a biological viral weapon capable killing villains. Govind, in his venture to prevent the vial containing the virus from falling into the wrong hands finds himself being chased by the villain Christian Fletcher(Kamal). Fletcher is portrayed in true Hollywood and is shown as a very cruel person indeed. But as previously said, the facial makeup should have been better. Govind finds himself in a chase to get the vial, which journeys to India with Fletcher hot on its trails. Mallika sherawat comes in as translator for Fletcher and has the desried effect and delivers with her short role.



Enter Balram Naidu, the comic relief of the movie. The character is absoluely hillarious and Kamal is clearly at his best portraying Naidu. The CID officer is brought in to the Govind case and Kamal delivers a punch with his dialogues, expressions and body languages for this role. Asin comes in as an innocent girl, inevitably brought into the chase as the vial lands up in her household. Though the movie has Kamal written all over it, Asin has palyed her role to perfections and makes us sit up and take notice



The other characters in the story add the necessary spice to the movie from Avataar Singh to Vincent Poovaragan. Rest of the story is about how Govind prevents the vial from being obtained by Fletcher and how the 12th century "couple" are united again while fighting for a similar cause that separated them 8 centuries ago. The final tsunami scene must be mentioned. It is awe inspiring and is shot very well.



The USP of the movie are Kamal, Kamal, the technical brilliance and Kamal again. Kamal fans would just love to see their actor take so many roles and even the critics of Kamal would clearly give their thumds up for Kamal and his das avataras

All in all a very good movie, giving various messages for people in the modern world, talking about spiritualism and religion to biological warfare. A must watch indeed!!!

Sergey Brin pays $5m to reserve seat in Space Flight

The company that sends wealthy tourists into space announced plans Wednesday for a private flight in 2011 to the international space station on a Russian-built Soyuz rocket and said Google co-founder Sergey Brin has paid $5 million to reserve a seat on a future flight.

Space Adventures said no decision has been made yet about when Brin, a 35-year-old billionaire and native of Moscow, will fly or where he might go.

So far, the company has sent five tourists to the space station, but it has also been dreaming about other destinations, including a swing around the far side of the moon.

Brin didn't appear at the company's news conference at the Explorer's Club in Manhattan, but he said in a statement that he considered his $5 million deposit an investment in the company, as well as an option to participate in a future space flight.

"I am a big believer in the exploration and commercial development of the space frontier, and am looking forward to the possibility of going into space," the statement said.

On each of its five previous missions, the Virginia-based company has essentially been tagging along aboard flights already scheduled by the Russians.

The sixth customer, computer game designer Richard Garriott, is scheduled to go up in October after paying $35 million for his seat. He is a vice chairman of Space Adventures and the son of NASA astronaut Owen Garriott, who sits on the company's advisory board.

For the 2011 mission, however, Space Adventures would charter an entire Soyuz space flight, with space for two clients plus a Russian cosmonaut. Russia's Federal Space Agency would still run the mission, but Space Adventures would pay for the trip and buy its own Soyuz spacecraft.
"The Soyuz to be used for this mission shall be a specially manufactured craft, separate from the other Soyuz vehicles designated for the transportation of the (space station) crews," Alexey B. Krasnov, who heads Russia's manned space program, said in a statement released by the company.

Space Adventures has been planning for a trip in which one of its craft would circle — but not land on — the moon. Diamandis said he expects to have a customer take the first such flight within five years.

It has been advertising tickets on that flight at $100 million per seat.

Now about the NASA thing some say nasa agrees and some say NASA denies them all!

Also about the time 5:41 pm , no website discusses about that !!

Stop virus permanently- Video tutorial !!

We all faced it , yeah right whenever we put in our friend's pen/thumb drive or sometimes our own pen drive which went away on a round into our pc pop comes the antivirus saying it just stopped a virus , but sometimes its too late , yeah the virus is fast!!!
OR what if you don't have anti-virus s/w at all!!!!

then suddenly you find that hey where did all my settings go and inspite of you being the administrator of your own pc, you are not allowed access to some areas such as the taskmanager, folder options etc etc !!!!

so here's a permanent solution to this entry of viruses from an external drive ...

You could wonder how the viruses run automatically even if u didn't double-click them!!!
That's because they are the default program to be run in the autoplay list , yeah so now you got it, yeah just turn off the Autoplay option in Windows once and for all! ( Now for this to do, you should be the administrator , otherwise hmmm...)

Steps :

1) Goto Run ( Click start and then click run )
2) Type gpedit.msc hit Enter
3) Expand User Configuration option located at your left
4) Click on System
5) Find an option at your right which says TURN OFF AUTOPLAY .Double click it.
6) Enable it and Turn Off Auto Display to All Drives
!!** If group edit has already been disabled it means you don't have permission to modify it as you are not the administrator or you have already been affected with a virus .**!! ( sorry for that )

Now incase if u get confused with the steps above , no trouble, here's a video tutorial on how to proceed :

Adobe launches new version of Acrobat.com

Adobe Systems Inc. is launching a new version of its document sharing software Acrobat on Monday, and this time it can package videos. Acrobat allows users to package documents so they can be read across different hardware and operating systems. Acrobat 9 comes with Adobe’s video-enabling software Flash. Users can include Flash-based videos when they create and share documents with the portable document format, commonly known as PDF. With a professional version of Acrobat 9, for example, users could package a Power Point presentation not just with images, but also with an audio of the presenter’s voice.

This is from the site's description : "Work. Together. Anywhere. Acrobat.com is a set of online services - file sharing and storage, PDF converter, online word processor, web conferencing - you can use to create and share documents, communicate in real time, and simplify working with others from anywhere."

“You can now send someone a presentation that speaks on its own all through a PDF,” said Adobe spokesman Kevin M. Lynch, who is not related to the company’s chief technology officer with the same name. Adobe also launched Acrobat.com, which will host Web-based software services to support document creation and sharing. The San Jose-based software maker hasn’t launched a new version of Acrobat since November 2006, almost a year after it purchased Macromedia Inc., the creator of Flash software. Users have expected to see Flash integrated into Acrobat since that purchase, Lynch said.

What do blogs do? - An article

Ok why was this blog started by me? What does this blog intend to do? What is the history of blogging? The first two questions i can answer very easily because i know why i started this blog and what all i intended to do with this blog. I wanted to share all the technology stuff around with people from the blogosphere. But now the blogosphere has completely changed. People are doing business with blogs and people make money by writing content on it. A self explanatory and a very good about Blogging history can be found at web-articles.info, where one can submit his own article on just about anything and could get positive responses for it. The article about blogging history goes on to say this;  Blogging is really about three things:
• Information Telling

• Relationships Building

• Knowledge management 

   Do note that the blogs specified are related to business and not a time passer blogger. Nowadays business people and their kind have started to blog about all their business plans and discuss it very openly among other bloggers because it gives them an exposure to business ideas and how to groom these ideas into practice. The article then explains the whos who of blogging and what people really intend to do. Really worth a read!.
