iTunes to have a rival

Ex Apple employee now in Dell plans to hit back and hit big against Apple. Here is the excerpt from the article.

Apple looks nearly invincible in the market, but this in itself may be its most serious vulnerability. Today, record labels grumble about Apple's tight grip on their business, and many consumers are frustrated because the iPod works only with iTunes, at a time when there are many ways to get digital content. Imagine if you could download a song from Amazon.com and send it to the mobile phone of a friend or the car stereo of someone who has satellite radio. By creating one über-market, Dell and its partners hope to persuade consumers to try new devices and services. "Apple wants to lock you in," says Robert Enderle, a consultant who has been briefed by Dell. "Dell wants to lock you in to choice."

Though i am a very big fan of Mac books but for some reason i have not liked iPOD. I wouldn't agree that iTunes has a very big hold. It might be to an extent true in US and i would say only to an extent. Either way who cares about iPod... yeah i agree that it is awesome but ..whatever.

Here is the complete story and lets wait till september..

MIT developing super-realistic image system

David Chandler, MIT News Office August 7, 2008 By producing "6-D" images, an MIT professor and colleagues are creating unusually realistic pictures that not only have a full three-dimensional appearance, but also respond to their environment, producing natural shadows and highlights depending on the direction and intensity of the illumination around them.

human paper weight

Today morning on my way to work, i saw this guy sitting on top of a pile of garbage. He was not sitting on a road side garbage pile but was sitting on the truck that was carrying city's garbage. Why would i call him a human paper weight? hmm.. usually the trucks cover the garbage with a net and this guy was sitting on the net like a paper weight, i cant but pity him. It stinks when you are about 20 - 30 yards from the truck... imagine this guy sitting on it itself.

Eagerly waiting to see the joker

Warner Bros' The Dark Knight continues to power drive the North American box office and grossed a whopping $23.1 million Friday from 4,366 theaters. That's down only 66% from its record-smashing debut a week ago. With an expected $78 million weekend, down only 50% from the best-ever Fri-Sat-Sun, the Christian Bale-Heath Ledger actioner directed by Chris Nolan is also well on its way to making $300M in just 10 days, the fastest ever (beating Pirates Of The Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest which did it is 16 days). All anybody can do at the studios is keep repeating the word, "Amazing". And it is. There are even whispers starting whether Dark Knight can beat the incredible worldwide numbers posted by the all-time $1.8 billion benchmark of Titanic. "It can be the first movie that has a real shot," one rival studio bigwig told me cautiously. Because not only do people like the movie, but it's getting incredible repeat business. Even occasional moviegoers are curious to see what all the fuss is about.

I would like to see this beat titanic!

MAC vs PC vs UBUNTU

This picture courtesy sums it all...

Keep in mind

No! this post is not intended for the readers but its more for myself but these three points i feel are very important

1. Don't try to change anyone neither expect them to change for you, let them be the way they are

2. No Ego! - please

3. Fight for your cause! but accept what you get, life is too good to spend it being upset.



Each one of the above points were told by three different people... thanks to you all

Nokia navigator

I got my navigator phone 2 months back and the phone works just fine in chennai, guides me to all the places in chennai, but yesterday i found a small glitch ... The phone completely avoids taking the sardar patel road and shows all possible ways to avoid it. I dont know what is the problem. Has anyone experienced the same problem.

this reminds me of memento

Chennai City traffic Police - Doing a good job!

I have been feeling this for sometime. Chennai city traffic police have been doing an excellent job. I dont think any other state or city police are doing so much for traffic regulation. They are at almost all the places, important junctions on holidays and late hours alike.

I took this picture yesterday afternoon (sunday) at kathipara junction, thanks to saturdays rain, this Traffic police is standing in ankle deep murky water regulating traffic. I am not sure anyone else would do this. Hats off and i do salute your hard work and effort.

My humble request please do not curse these people, i do understand there might be few black sheeps but then they are in every industry! Learn to respect them
