Windows Live Skydrive -- Now offers u 5 GB storage space .

Windows Live SkyDrive got released a new version , emerging from Beta.

* Create personal, shared, and public folders -- you decide who has access to each folder.

• Your personal folders are password-protected with your Windows Live ID, so only you have access.

• When you create a shared folder, the friends you're sharing with need to sign in with their own Windows Live ID and password.

• Just like at your online bank, all file transfers are protected using Secure Socket Layers (SSL).

• Use personal folders to back up important files that are only for you .

• You decide how much control each person has over each shared folder. Some can just read what's there: others can add and delete files.

• With public folders, anyone on the Internet can view your files, but they can't change them.

• Want to show your public files to others? Just send them a link! Each folder and file has its own web address.

Yep ppl ,its official ...  Toshiba has stopped production of HD DVD players and recorders !!!
according to a BBC news report here, and reuters here.

""The announcement follows a bitter ‘war of the systems’ with the alternative Blu-ray technology. Most studios seemed to favour Blu-ray and especially the last few months there
seemed to be a change towards Blu-ray with both consumers and retailers.

Here is what Toshiba has to say ....
“We carefully assessed the long-term impact of continuing the so-called ‘next-generation format war’ and concluded that a swift decision will best help the market develop,” said Atsutoshi Nishida, president and CEO of Toshiba Corporation, in a prepared statement. “While we are disappointed for the company and more importantly, for the consumer, the real mass market opportunity for high definition content remains untapped and Toshiba is both able and determined to use our talent, technology and intellectual property to make digital convergence a reality.”

Toshiba will begin to reduce shipments of HD DVD players to retail channels, aiming for cessation by the end of March 2008. Apart from Toshiba Microsoft is the other main HD-DVD protagonist and it remains to be seen what the company will do. For the moment, they said the decision will have no impact on the XBox 360, the game console that is capable of playing back HD-DVD disks.""

so ppl Hail the King of High Definition - "" BLU-RAY ""
RIP HD-DVD !

It will be for the 17th time that these 2 sides will be meeting since Rafael Benitez became the Liverpool manager and since then they have won only 5 times n Chelsea have won 8 times. Liverpool currently struggling for good results will be without their star striker Fernando Torres, who is suffering from a hamstring injury but is expected to return for the Champions League clash against Inter in 10 days time. Also missing will be Voronin, Arbeloa, Aurelio and Agger. Xabi Alonso is suspended. Babel too might miss due to a knock he picked up during the midweek while on international duty. Chelsea will be without Terry and Shevchenko while Lampard and Mikel could be playing. I hate to say this but Chelsea may win comfortably unless Liverpool put up a spirited performance to at least manage a draw.
Prediction - Chelsea 1 - 0 Liverpool
