Mixture of two or more geeky franchises always ends up in getting a cataclysmic result. If you’ve been around for some time, there’s very little chance of you finding movies and video games making way to a friendly blend. If we take into consideration the inclusion of Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur 4, who are undoubtedly the two most ill-reputed characters ever created, we are always left with a question that why they are a part of the game in the first place.

Now, another WTF connected with style has hit the scene, but this product is worthy of a purchase. Creators of Burnout series of racing games (not the creators of ultra special DVD quality), Criterion games, have already released a car image which is going to be given prominence in their forthcoming “Legendary cars pack”. This is nothing but a DLC for the game that will soon feature new cars, which also includes the “Jansen 88 Special.”

Jansen 88 has a very close resemblance to Marty and Doc’s ride from Back to the future. The car might not take you to the ultimate decade of the second quarter of the 20th century, but it definitely leaves flames in the rear of the tires and can easily get converted to the hover shape from the very regular shape at the push of a button.

The Jansen is a package of three other cars – “The Cavalry Bootlegger, GT Nighthawk and Manhattan Spirit.” If Jansen is a Deloreon in the background, then in order to know about the other three, we have to keep our finger crossed till the coming year when the game would finally hit the retail market. Till then, the only option left being is to imagine driving the machine, which has been described by the programmers of the game.

After a difficult year, Yahoo! now seems to be moving on its own. Today, Google formally announced that they have ended their advertising agreement with Yahoo! The agreement was announced in June at a time when Yahoo! was facing takeover attempts from Microsoft. At the same time, they also had a proxy battle with Carl Icahn, which was for the control of the company.

Yahoo! & Google had both voluntary agreed for delaying their partnership and it was undergoing a review by U.S. Department of Justice. Government reviewed the deal, as they had anti-trust fears over this partnership.

Amongst the many concerns made by the U.S. Department of Justice, one was that the partnership between Yahoo! & Google would have eventually led to the 2 companies enjoying a combined share in the internet market of around 90%, with Google contributing 70.4% and Yahoo! 19.4% (these figures are based on a statistics submitted by a web-based company in September 2008). Competitors, other then these two, which includes the likes of Ask, AOL and MSN Live don’t even have a double digit contribution in the market. This being said, it was highly unlikely for U.S. Department of Justice approving such a deal of higher proportions over anti-trust concern and without major restriction within their partnership.

In their statement, Google cleared that this move of end partnership with Yahoo! was primarily due to the fact that such agreements have very little chances of taking place without going through lengthy legal battles. It was also reported by current Search Engine Giant that there were some advertisers, who had concerned over their agreement with Yahoo! They felt that with the company moving forward for getting this deal executed properly, it would have only distracted them from carrying out their core mission.

• It is very important that the hosting companies maintain available round the clock to take care of the problems of a blogger. Failing to do so would lead to a great deal of problems. HostGator has customer services available for their clients on a 24×7 basis.
• It is equally important that the company should have a good reputation in the market. Unless, they have a good reputation, it is unwise to trust their services. HostGator has a great deal of reputation in the market and over the last six years been the proud winners of many prestigious awards. Again, the exemplary services offered are unmatched by any similar concern in the market.

If the large number of satisfied bloggers are to be believed, utilizing the services of HostGator would only help you in making your blog grow to greater limits in a very short time.

Step 1 : Select the Folder to be locked , for example I will select folder “movie” in D drive i.e. D:movie

Step 2 : In the same drive, create a text file and type – ren movie movie.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} and save it as loc.bat

Step 3 : Again you type in a notepad as- ren movie.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} movie and save it as key.bat

Step 4 : Now in D drive you can see two batch files loc and key. When you double click loc.bat, the movie folder will change to control panel and when you double click key.bat the control panel will change to normal folder.

Step 5 : Done! You have simply changed that folder into some other thing and no one can access the data inside it.

You can change that folder into other directories too. The above code is for Control panel; others are listed below:

1. {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} – Turned to Explorer
2. {0DF44EAA-FF21-4412-828E-260A8728E7F1} – Turned to start menu properties
3. {6DFD7C5C-2451-11d3-A299-00C04F8EF6AF} – Turned to Folder Options

So here is the mail:
Those of you in India planning for iPhone…Think Twice Before Making a decision…The short commings of iphone are endless..

No video calling, no AD2P on the Bluetooth, can’t share any(mp3, images, videos…) files via bluetooth, can’t use as a wireless modem, (you pay ridiculous data charges to activate internet on your phone, but cannot connect it to your PC and browse when you are at home)

All even the smallest copy and paste,(cannot copy a part of a.. say… email & send it..have to type it out yourself)

No 3.2 or 5 megapixel camera,(the 2MP camera it carries is worst camera i’ve ever seen.. photos look like they have come out of a VGA camera)

No video recording with camera, no front camera, no flash.

No JAVA support

No physical keyboard (BELIEVE me! this alone is a dealbreaker…touch keyboard as good as it looks…once you use it then only you come to know about the importance of having a hard keypad)

No 3G network yet in India..so why pay for expensive 3G phone if you cant use its 3G services … so, for India, iPhone 2.0 is no better than its first version

No removable battery. (You cannot change battery. Have to send it to apple outlet.. Come on now!!!!…This is not an iPod. Its a bloody phone. You cannot live without phone for 2-3 days)

No haptic feedback and cannot send MMS, an’t use as external storage device (16 GB of utter waste..next time you go to your friend’s house & find some interesting songs, movies, etc…sorry you cannot connect your ‘16 GB’ phone and share it!!!! Apple apparently has a solution.. ” BUY MUSIC & MOVIES FROM iTUNES STORE “….. Give me a break will you APPLE!!!)

no FM radio, can’t use your mp3 files as ringtones,(This is heights man!!!)

cannot insert any other SIM card….

completely tied to iTunes… Connect to your friend’s iTunes & you risk erasing everything on your phone.

list goes on & on & on….

Read the iphone endless features below:

We Indians are used to these features. Most of our phones already have these features. & we cannot do with out them…. i mean can you imagine paying so much for a phone with which you cannot transfer files via bluetooth. what age is this …STONE AGE???

Some features may be activated by jailbreak.. But why the hell should you risk losing your warranty after paying so much.

And want to add third party softwares??.. YOU HAVE TO BUY THEM FROM iTUNES STORE ONLY!!! . (Shell out more money). Apple is a bloody control freak. Dont surrender your freedom to it.

Its good for american market (who have no idea what mobile freedom/choice is) which is in stone age compared to asian/european markets. When they want to buy a phone, they have to go to network operators and buy only those phones that are available on that network. & stick to that company till their contract expires. You want to change carriers? Not before paying damages, & buying another phone on the other network again.

On the contrary, we in India have so much freedom. We go to handset shops & buy which ever phone we like. Then go to carriers.. checkout the plans & buy SIM.. Dont like the plan or rival carrier came up with a better plan???? EASY .. just remove & replace the SIM.

Apple are trying to IMPOSE THEIR MODEL ON US riding on the hype iPhone has created in the US (yes it was a flop in Europe ..thats why Apple never talks about its sales in Europe).

Dont fall for the subsidized price of iPhone… CHECKOUT THE DATA PLAN ATTACHED TO ITS SIM ..they will recover the cost through ridiculous data plans. Bill might come to around Rs 2500/month.(ATLEAST AMERICANS PAY THAT MUCH)

Let me clear one thing though.. iphone is the best looking phone (its touch interface is nothing like you have ever seen ), & best browsing experience out there no doubt …. (& others are fast catching up..check out the android demo at Google IO 2008)…. BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS IT ALL COMES DOWN TO FUNCTIONALITY…

Those of who buy it… You will be most happy for atmost a week… & then, MARK MY WORDS…YOU WILL START REGRETTING IT!!!

My advice…WAIT FOR HTC DREAM!! (powered by android). Still not convinced by then…by all means go for iPhone…

So friends lets spread this info to all our friends and help them in making a wise decision….. & those of you who have bought unlocked versions already please share your experiences with others.

So if you still buy then after some months you too can make a Apple Logo with all your iphone like a Fan made Ubuntu logo with Red Bull Cans.

Will you say good bye to iphone or welcome to india.!?
(P.S – No misunderstandings, I’m not a Apple hater. I admire Steve jobs and won a ipod touch)

I just found this heart-touching in a fellow blogger blog, soul-penetrating video of what we consciously take for granted in our daily life.

We must really thank our nature and must save it too! save water, save food, save ourself, save earth!

Warning: This video may may sink your heart!

Don’t break the chain. Please Spread the message on your blog and make that “little difference” in someone else’s life. You can do it.

Be grateful and “peace to the world”.
