  • Well Here is one of my most awaiting movies of the year Rockstar.
    he album kicks off with Phir se ud chala that begins with Chauhan rendering a brief aalaap and then moving up and down lilting scales to create a memorable ballad. Chauhan returns with one of the songs of the album Jo bhi main, though in such a brilliant soundtrack it is difficult to play favourites. This slow burning rock anthem has terrific lyrics that translate as ‘whatever I want to say, my words destroy’. Bravo Kamil saab. The playful Punjabi-infused Katiya Karun is up next featuring vocals by Harshdeep Kaur, backed by Sapna Awasthi. It’s a pleasant number, serving as an appetiser for the riches to come.

    Rahman is back in his Sufiana Kalam element with the qawwali Kun Faya Kun, dedicated to Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya. The voices of Rahman, Chauhan and Javed Ali combine to hypnotic effect in this track. After the fervour of the qawwali it is time for a dig at a Bollywood recording session where a crass music director is trying to get Chauhan to get the nuances of a typical Hindi number. But this being Rahman, he can’t do typical and the result is a superior melody.

    Tango meets Gypsy rhythms in Hawaa Hawaa with Chauhan in his element, accompanied by Viviane Chaix, Tanvi Shah, Suvi Suresh and Shalini. The Gypsy Kings themselves would have applauded this number. As if trying to prove that he is the master of every possible musical genre, Rahman moves into Nitin Sawhney territory with Aur ho that opens with haunting, ethereal vocals by Alma Ferovic and then develops into a song of love, loss and longing voiced powerfully by Chauhan.

    After the intensity of Aur ho, it is a palliative to listen to the instrumental Tango for Taj where Rahman begins with the traditional accordion played Argentine style but sneaks in some raga violins to create a very satisfying fusion. An old favourite Kavita Subramaniam nee Krishnamurthy returns with Tum ko, a song of yearning beautifully interspersed with tabla. Instrumental track The dichotomy of fame has a superlative shehnai-guitar jugalbandi between Balesh and Kabuli.

    Continuing to surprise, Nadaan parinde opens with Boney M-like chorals before electric guitars and driving drumbeats join in until Rahman and Chauhan enter to complete a pitch perfect rock track.

    Chauhan and Suzan D’Mello’s Tum ho is a companion piece to the earlier Kavita track and possibly the best romantic song you’ll hear this year.

    And of course, next up is the hugely popular Sadda haq, definitely the rock anthem of this young century that we live in. Orianthi’s driving guitar perfectly accompanies Chauhan’s compelling voice and Kamil’s empowering lyrics. All good things must come to an end and sadly Rockstar concludes with Ranbir Kapoor reciting Meeting place, based on a poem by Rumi.

    So, ladies an gentlemen, unless Amit Trivedi can pull off a heist with Trishna, put your hands together for the album of the year – Rockstar.and Here is the download link

    64 Tips To Make Windows 7 Faster,Simpler,Easy To Use

  • Wednesday, July 6, 2011
  • Unknown
  • Hello Guys ,these are some tips for Windows 7 users ..



    Windows 7 may be Microsoft’s most anticipated product ever. It builds on Windows Vista’s positives, and eliminates many of that OS’s negatives. It adds new functionality, too—all in a package that is less resource-hungry than its predecessor.And whether or not you're upgrading from Vista or skipping it altogether and moving up from Windows XP, you'll need to knowhow to make the most of it in your environment. Here are 77 tips and tricks to get you there.
    1. Pick Your Edition. Most business users do not need the more expensive Ultimate Edition; stick with Professional unless you specifically need BitLocker.

    2. Upgrading? Go 64-bit. As the second major Windows release to fully support 64-bit, the x64 architecture has definitely arrived on the desktop. Don't buy new 32-bit hardware unless it's anetbook.
    3. Use Windows XP Mode. Yes, it's only an embedded Virtual PC with a full copy of WinXP—but it's an embedded Virtual PC with a full copy of Windows XP! This is the first profoundly intelligent use of desktop virtualization we've seen—and a great way to move to Windows 7 without giving up full Windows XP compatibility.
    4. Use Windows PowerShell v2. More than just a shell, this is the administration tool you've always wanted: Parallel, distributed processing for administrative tasks! Manage 100 machines literally as easily as you manage one with the new Remoting feature. Windows PowerShell v2 ships for the first time in Windows 7, and within six months will be available for older versions of Windows.
    5. Use AppLocker. We've been fans of Software Restriction Policies since Windows XP, and AppLocker finally makes application whitelisting possible. Use it to enhance or even replace your anti-virus software, ensuring that only the software you want to run will run.
    6. Shift to and from Explorer and CommandPrompt. The classic Windows power toy Open Command Prompt Here is now an integral part of Windows 7 Explorer. Hold down the shift key then right-click a folder to add this option to the property menu. While you're in a command prompt, if you want to open an Explorer window with the focus of the window on the current directory, enter start.
    7. Record Problems. The Problem Steps Recorder (PSR) is a great new feature that helps in troubleshooting a system (see Figure 1). At times, Remote Assistance may not be possible. However, if a person types psr in their Instant Search, it will launch the recorder. Now they can perform the actions needed to recreate the problem and each click will record the screen and the step. They can even add comments. Once complete, the PSR compiles the whole thing into an MHTML file and zips it up so that it can be e-mailed for analysis to the network admin (or family problem solver, depending on how it's being used).
    Figure 1 The Problem Steps Recorder dramatically speeds up troubleshooting. (Click the image for a larger view)
    8. Make Training Videos. Use a tool like Camtasia to record short, two to three minute video tutorials to help your users find relocated features, operate the new Taskbar and so forth. Get them excited about Windows 7—and prepared for it.
    9. Start Thinking About Windows Server 2008 R2. Some of Windows 7's more compelling features, like BranchCache, work in conjunction with the new server OS. The R2 upgrade path is pretty straightforward, so there's little reason not to take advantage of the synergies if you can afford upgrade licenses.
    10. Prepare Those XP Machines. There's no in-place upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, so start planning to migrate user data now, in advance of a Windows 7 upgrade deployment.
    11. Consider Clean Installs. Even when upgrading Windows Vista machines, consider a clean install rather than an in-place upgrade. Yes, it's more hassle, but it'll produce a more trouble-free computer in the long run.
    12. Consider Upgrade Assurance. Even if you've never bought it before, consider it for your new Windows 7 licenses. Access to the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP), which includes App-V, MED-V and other cool technologies, is worth the premium.
    13. Find New Tools. Within Control Panel is a single Troubleshooting link that leads you to all of your diagnostic tools on the system. There are additional tools, however, not installed by default. Selecting the "View all" link in the top left-hand corner will help you to see which troubleshooting packs are local and which ones are online. If you find a tool that you don't have, you can grab it from here.
    14. Understand Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Windows 7 plays an important role in Microsoft's VDI strategy, where virtualized Windows 7 machines are hosted on a central virtualization server using a special blanket "Enterprise Centralized Desktop" license. Read up and figure out if you can take advantage of this new strategy.
    15. Prepare for DirectAccess. DirectAccess makes it easier for users to remotely access their office-based resources, without a VPN. DirectAccess also opens up remote computers more fully to Group Policy—but it requires Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2.
    16. Employ Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM). If you quickly want to list or manage Windows packages, features or drivers, use the command-line utility DISM. The "image" in the name may fool you into thinking that this is solely a deployment tool. An online command-line switch lets you manage the features in the currently loaded OS. To get a list of the loaded Windows features, enter dism /online /get-features /format:table. To enable a feature, enter dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:.17. Embrace Troubleshooting Packs. Designed to help users troubleshoot and solve problems on their own, you need to update your support procedures to acknowledge these Packs. For example, don't force users to repeat steps the Pack already walked them through, and consider developing your own Packs (in Windows PowerShell) to support in-house systems.
    18. Check Reliability. The Reliability Monitor was introduced in Windows Vista as 'The Reliability and Performance Monitor." In Windows 7 it has been separated from Performance Monitor and moved to a new location under the Action Center. You open the Action Center in Control Panel and then look under the Maintenance options for the "View reliability history" link. You can also just type in Reliability Monitor from the Instant Search (see Figure 2).



    Figure 2 The Reliability Monitor has been broken out separately from Performance Monitor. (Click the image for a larger view)
    19. Accept Diversity. Not every organization will be ready to move entirely to Windows 7 right away. That's fine—but that shouldn't mean the entire organization stays on Windows XP, either. The myths of the cost savings of having only one OS have been largely disproven or downplayed, so use Windows 7 where it makes sense to do so.
    20. Get Snippy. The snipping tool has also been around in various incarnations but it's even easier to use in Windows 7. Launch the tool, then drag and drop any part of your screen. The tool will snip the selection. You can save it as a graphic file or annotate with basic drawing tools. Teach your end users how to use this tool so they can grab the snapshots of their problems and send them to the help desk. Or create your own library of visual notes.
    21. Presentation Nirvana. Press Windows+P to access the new Presentation mode, and easily turn on your projector and laptop screen at the same time. No more messing with vendor-specific utilities and arcane keystrokes. (Windows+X accesses the Mobility Center, with additional presentation options.)
    22. Cut the Clutter. Press Windows+Home to minimize all but the current window, removing background clutter and letting you focus on that report your boss has been bugging you about.
    23. Be a Mouse-Click Administrator. Windows 7 makes it easy to gain admin rights with a keyboard shortcut. Click on Ctrl+Shift on a taskbar-locked icon, and voila! You've launched it with appropriate admin rights.
    24. Faster Installations. If your computer is capable of booting from USB, try this: XCopy the Windows 7 installation DVD to a sufficiently large USB drive, boot from that drive, and install Windows from there. It's faster than a spinning platter.
    25. Burn Discs with a Click. Or two; double-click an ISO file to burn it to your CD or DVD writer.
    26. Restore Point Previews Many of us used to shut off System Restore because we were terrified to actually use it; under Windows 7, we can be much calmer. After selecting a Restore Point, Windows will now offer to show you which files and folders will be affected by restoring to that point.
    27. Sync Time Zones. If you work with offices in different time zones and frequently find yourself missing meeting times because you are not in sync with their time zone, try the "Additional Clocks" feature that was first introduced in Vista. Within your Date and Time settings is a tab called Additional Clocks, where you can add two or more clocks to your taskbar time, and set them to provide different time zones from your current time zone.
    28. Configure User Account Control (UAC). Even if you're a UAC hater, give it another try. Go to the Control Panel to configure its behavior to something slightly less obnoxious than what Windows Vista had, and see if you can't live with the extra protection it offers (see Figure 3).



    Figure 3 User Account Control, the bane of administrators, has been revamped and improved. (Click the image for a larger view)
    29. RoboCopyCopyCopy. The always-useful Robocopy.exe can now run multi-threaded; run Robocopy /? to review its new parameters (like /MT for multithreading) and make your copies go faster.
    30. Remote Desktop Console. Windows 7 Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) does not include a console-based remote desktop utility. And even if it did, the standard remote desktop console has some nagging limitations: It can't move connections around in the list; it can't sort by folders and so forth. If you manage lots of servers from your Windows 7 workstation, try downloading a copy of mRemote from mremote.org. This donation-requested utility allows you to mix together a variety of remote control applications, including Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA), Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Virtual Network Computing (VNC), Secure Shell (SSH) and rlogin. All host names are displayed in a standard tree control that can be divided into folders, sorted alphabetically, and allow you to assign different logon accounts and secure passwords to each connection.
    31. Multiple Monitors. Windows 7 makes working with multiple monitors intuitive and flexible. There are a variety of shortcuts and mouse motions that flick windows from monitor to monitor. To make the most of this, you need lots and lots of screen real estate. Try one of the new QWXGA monitors from Samsung (tinyurl.com/qwxgasamsung) or Dell (tinyurl.com/qwxgadell). These 23-inch monitors have a 2048x1152 resolution, making it possible to put two full-sized pages on the same monitor. Pair them together and you'll get enough space to have all your admin tools open along with Office, Visio, your intranet sites and a little note to your mom in Live Mail. Move your taskbar to the left or right side of the window instead of along the bottom to free up even more real estate.
    32. Windows PowerShell Scripting. If you want to make the most of Windows PowerShell on Windows 7, you'll need a quick way to build and debug scripts. Windows 7 comes with an interactive editor that allows you to try out cmdlets and test functions on the fly.
    33. Drag-and-Drop Notification Icons. The redesigned notification area displays only a minimum number of icons; all other notification icons are moved to a side window. Rather than using the Customize option to select icons for the main display, you can drag-and-drop icons from the side window to the notification area.
    34. Add Unindexed Shared Folders to Library. You can add UNC paths such as \\servername\sharename to a Library, but the server must index the folder. If you want to add a UNC path to an unindexed server, you can create a symbolic link to the UNC path, then add the link or links to the library. Use the mklink command. For example, mklink HomeFolder \\ServerName\Homefolder.
    35. Simplify Cloned Machine Setups. You can't run Sysinternals' newsid utility to change the identity of a cloned Windows 7 machine (either a virtual machine or imaged PC). Instead, create a template installation then run sysprep /oobe /generalize /reboot /shutdown /unattend:scriptfile. Clone or copy this virtual machine file. When it launches, it will get a new SID and you can fill in the name. The reference for building unattended script files is at tinyurl.com/winunattend.
    36. Snap That Aero. The Windows key is great for all your shortcuts. Now you can use it to work with the new AeroSnap feature in Windows 7. Select a window, hit the Windows key and a left or right arrow to snap the window to that half of the screen, or use the up arrow to snap it to the top of the screen.
    37. Shortcut the Taskbar. The Windows key is great for shortcuts. You can select the Windows key and a number to correspond to items on your taskbar. So, if IE (for example) is the third icon on your taskbar (not counting the Start button), you can hit the Windows key and the number three to launch or open IE.
    38. Manage Passwords. Control Panel includes a new application called Credential Manager. This may appear to be a completely new tool that allows you to save your credentials (usernames and passwords) for Web sites you log into and other resources you connect to (such as other systems). Those credentials are saved in the Windows Vault, which can be backed up and restored. However, you might see this as similar to a tool we have in XP and Vista. From the Instant Search, type in control /userpasswords2 and you will be brought to the Advanced User Accounts Control Panel, where you can also manage passwords for your account (see Figure 4).



    Figure 4 The Credential Manager provides a handy, secure place to store passwords. (Click the image for a larger view)
    39. Trigger Actions. Event Viewer is closely tied into Task Scheduler. You have the ability to take an event (select it in Event Viewer) and then from the Actions pane, select the option "Attach a Task" to have that event, when it appears, trigger an action. That action can be: launch a program; send an e-mail; or display a message. This feature may be very helpful in troubleshooting a problem.
    40. Browse InPrivate. A new feature in IE8 is the ability to open the browser in an InPrivate Browsing session that allows you to perform banking and so forth from a public location without fear of leaving behind any residue. IE will not retain anything you do in an In Private Browsing session. You can perform this action if you are already within IE by selecting the Safety button and then InPrivate Browsing. This will open another IE window altogether. However, you can save a few steps by using the shortcut. Right-click the desktop IE icon, click InPrivate and the windows will open in an InPrivate session already.
    41. Go Live. Many applications installed on past versions of Windows have been removed. Starting with Windows 7, these applications (and a few others not typically installed with Windows) have been moved into the Live Essentials downloadable applications, at download.live.com. These applications include Messenger, Mail, Writer, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Family Safety and a few others.
    42. Remove Apps. Although some applications have been moved off of Windows to become an optional download, other apps, such as IE8, Media Player, Media Center and DVD Maker are still included. In times past, especially when it came to IE, the applications were tied into the OS. However, in Windows 7 you can easily remove them if desired. Head to the Program and Features applet in Control Panel and select the "Turn Windows features on or off" link in the top left-hand corner. Then you can select the checkbox of the features you want to lose or add for your system (see Figure 5).



    Figure 5 Windows 7 unbinds many applications from the OS, making it easy to add and remove them. (Click the image for a larger view)
    43. Are You Windows 7 Experienced? System properties has a rating called the Windows Experience Index (WEI). This rating is a collection of five different ratings that are determined by the Windows System Assessment Tool (WinSAT). The highest rating score is 7.9 (compared to 5.9 in Vista), using the categories of Processor, RAM, Graphics, Gaming Graphics and Primary Hard Disk. The final rating is not an average of all the ratings, but the lowest of the subcomponent scores.
    44. Analyze Processes. One of the coolest new features in the revamped Resource Monitor (resmon) is the ability to see the "wait chain traversal." An unresponsive process will be shown in red in the Resource Monitor; right-click the process and choose Analyze Process. This will show the threads in the process and see who holds the resources that are holding up the process itself. You can then kill that part of the process if you like.
    45. Create Virtual Worlds. Virtualization capability has been added to the Disk Management tools. If you open Computer Management, go to the Disk Manager tool and then click the Action button at top, you will see the options Create VHD and/or Attach VHD. This allows you to create and mount a virtual hard drive directly from within the GUI. Note: With Windows 7 you even have the ability to boot a Windows 7 VHD

    46. Encrypt USB Sticks. Use BitLocker To Go. Maybe you've managed to never misplace or lose a USB key, but for the rest of us mere mortals, it's a fact of life. Most of the time it's no big deal, but what if it contains sensitive data? BitLocker To Go enables you to encrypt data on removable storage devices with a password or a digital certificate stored on a smart card.
    The 14 Best Windows 7 Keyboard Shortcuts
    The Windows key now performs a wide variety of functions. Here are a handful of the most useful ones:
    64. Win+h - Move current window to full screen
    65. Win+i - Restore current full screen window to normal size or minimize current window if not full screen
    66. Win+Shift+arrow - Move current window to alternate screen
    67. Win+D - Minimize all windows and show the desktop
    68. Win+E - Launch Explorer with Computer as the focus
    69. Win+F - Launch a search window
    70. Win+G - Cycle through gadgets
    71. Win+L - Lock the desktop
    72. Win+M - Minimize the current window
    73. Win+R - Open the Run window
    74. Win+T - Cycle through task bar opening Aero Peek for each running item
    75. Win+U - Open the Ease of Use center
    76. Win+Space - Aero Peek the desktop

    47. Lock with Group Policy. Take control through AppLocker application control. AppLocker intercepts kernel calls that try to create new processes or load libraries and ensures the code is allowed to execute. Practically, that means you can eliminate unknown and unwanted software by implementing AppLocker through Group Policy.
    48. Be Our Guest. Guest mode proves a convenient method to give a guest or child access to your computer with limits on making system changes, installing software, or writing to the disk outside the user profile. After the user is done and logs off, data saved inside of the user profile is deleted.






    49. Restore from Backed up Restore Points. You can choose to include restore points in your backups and restore from them when using System Restore. This is convenient if you want to create a baseline of a working configuration and be able to restore to it in the future without overwriting other data on the hard disk.
    50. Benefit from BranchCache.BranchCache helps you save on round trips for requested files in remote branch scenarios. If one person requests a file over the WAN, it's cached locally and either distributed across computers at the remote branch or stored on a central server at the remote branch.
    51. Disable Search Suggestion Popups. As you type in the Search Box, Windows 7 makes suggestions based on past queries by pulling past queries from the Registry. You can disable this in the Local Group Policy by enabling User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Explorer | Turn Off Display Of Recent Search Entries In the Windows Explorer.
    52. Pin Control Panel to Taskbar. If you use the Control Panel frequently, you may have noticed that you cannot simply right-click the Control Panel and select Pin to Taskbar. Instead, you must first Open Control Panel so its icon appears in the taskbar. From there, you can right-click the icon in the taskbar and select Pin this program to taskbar.
    53. Leverage Search Connectors. You can now search the Web using the search functionality. Windows 7 includes Federated Search to increase the search scope beyond the local and network resources. Several search connectors are available, such as for YouTube and Twitter, or you can create custom ones to fit your needs.
    54. Use Stickier Notes. Even though this feature has existed in previous versions of Windows in one form or another, it's much easier to use in Windows 7. You can stick a note on your desktop for quick reminders. It's a snap to change the font or note color. If you have a note selected, use Ctrl-N to create a new one.
    55. Try out Improved WordPad. You probably haven't given much thought to WordPad lately, but the version shipping with Windows 7 has undergone a major renovation. Think of it as a lite version of Microsoft Word. WordPad sports a spiffy ribbon interface, making it a snap to create well-formatted documents. Plus, you are no longer relegated to saving them as .RTF files. WordPad now supports the Office Open XML document (.DOCX) format. This makes it even easier to open .DOCX files created in Word in WordPad.
    56. Calculate. Another basic utility that received a major overhaul is the venerable calculator. In addition to standard and scientific views, there are now programmer and statistic modes. You will also love the conversion and calculation features. Want to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit but can never remember the formula? Use the conversion panel. You'll also enjoy the data calculation extension. Quickly find the difference between two dates or calculate a new date by adding or subtracting years, months or days.
    57. Manage Services from Task Manager. The Windows 7 Task Manager now includes a tab to manage services. You can quickly see at a glance the status of all services on your machine. Click a column heading to sort. You can even start and stop services with a simple right-click. If you need full-blown service management, use the Services button to launch the Services management console. You may often have the Task Manager running in the system tray; now, having service management access means one less window to have open.
    58. Get Under the Hood. Windows 7 offers more ways to peek under the hood without adding third-party solutions. A terrific example is the Resource Monitor. The performance tab in Windows Task Manager is a good start, but sometimes you need more information. Click the Resource Monitor button to get more detailed information and performance graphs for key subsystems like CPU and Disk. You can also find the Resource Monitor under Accessories | System Tools.
    59. Check Vital Signs. Another new system tool you'll enjoy is the System Health report. In the Run dialog box, type perfmon /report, which generates a system health report. This report records details about your computer's performance, resource usage and more. The report also includes diagnostic information about things that aren't working as they should and suggested steps to resolve. The reports are saved and can be accessed with the Performance Monitor management console. You can also save as an HTML file or send via e-mail.
    60. Get More Windows PowerShell. Windows PowerShell v2 promises to be a game-changer for many system administrators. Many will prefer to use the graphical Windows PowerShell console, also known as the Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE). You'll find this in the Windows Power Shell folder under Accessories. Add a keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+Alt+I to quickly launch it. Run any Windows PowerShell command in the lower panel and see the results in the middle. Create or edit scripts in the top pane. Open multiple Windows PowerShell sessions connected to remote computers. The ISE makes Windows PowerShell v2 easy to use and fun (see Figure 7).



    Figure 7 Windows PowerShell has been much more tightly integrated with Windows 7, and adds the Integrated Scripting Environment. (Click the image for a larger view)
    61. Put It on Old Stuff. One perhaps-not-so-obvious Windows 7 tip is that you should attempt to install it everywhere. One user has a 6-year-old laptop that originally shipped with Windows XP. He could never get Windows Vista to install on it. But Windows 7 installed without complaint and runs extremely smooth. Granted, there are some Windows 7 features he can't take advantage of because the processor lacks certain features, but these are minor issues considering the laptop now has life again.
    62. Improve Security. In Vista it was difficult to manage system protection via restore points. The System Protection tab in Windows 7 is a vast improvement. In one spot you can configure how much space to devote to restore points, delete and create restore points or even turn off system protection altogether. This is very useful on older systems where disk space may be at a premium.
    63. Actually Use Help and Support. Much of Vista's clutter has been reduced in Windows 7. For instance, the Help and Support page has three links, a search window and a link back to Microsoft's Windows site. It's much less intimidating for end users, so make sure they know about it. Search is much improved as well, making for a better, faster experience


    GooGle+ The Next-Gen Social Networking

  • Sunday, July 3, 2011
  • Unknown




  • Google’s long expected second shot at taking on Facebook in the social networking space has arrived in the form of the Google+ Project. It has some interesting twists on the social networking model but is far from a Facebook-killer.

    The Google+ Project:

    What about the product itself? Google dubs Google+ as a “project” rather than a product, stressing it’s part of making Google itself more social rather than being a standalone social network to take on Facebook.

    “It’s ‘Plus’ because it takes products from Google and makes them better and ‘project’ because it’s an ongoing set of products,” said Vic Gundotra, the senior vice president who oversees Google’s social products.

    But is it Facebook competitor, I asked in a follow-up question. Google emailed back:

    No. We realize that today people are increasingly connecting with one another on the web. But the ways in which we connect online are limited and don’t mimic our real-life relationships. The Google+ project is our attempt to make online sharing even better. We aren’t trying to replace what’s currently available, we just want to introduce a new way to connect online with the people that matter to you.
    OK, but as the saying goes, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. And Google+ looks like and quacks like Facebook in several ways.



    Circles:
    Most important, Google+ is a social network of your friends, family and other contacts, a way to connect to these people, just like Facebook.

    Unlike Facebook, Google+ is built from the ground up around the concept of sharing material with groups of people, called “Circles.” Here’s an example of how they look:



    The idea is that you can easily drag-and-drop people into different types of Circles, which you can then use for sharing different types of things.

    For example, you can create a “Family” circle where you might chose to share things only with family members in it, while another “Work” circle might contain work colleagues who only see what you share to that.



    Google+ Circles Vs Facebook Lists & Groups:

    While Facebook might not have been built from the beginning with a Circles-like sharing concept, Facebook does currently have two features that are similar: Friend Lists & Groups.

    Added in December 2007, Friend Lists allow you to share some of your Facebook information with specific groups of friends (or other selected contacts) that you create. They’re also supposed to allow you to group message people in a list, though I couldn’t get this to work, when I tested it today.

    Friend Lists don’t allow for selective sharing. But the updated Facebook Groups feature that came out last October does provide this, a way to share what you want with whom you want.

    How does Circles weight up against these? I can’t say first hand. The Google+ product wasn’t live for me to test when I wrote this (our hands-on review will come later today).

    Friend Lists are nice in that if you pick one person, such as below where I selected Facebook communications chief Elliott Schrage, you get relevant suggestions that appear (other Facebook execs who’ve friended me on Facebook):
    But that list can’t be used, as best I can tell, to start an associated group to share just to these people. Instead, when I tested today, I was still forced to make a group, then pick people individually to add to that.

    So, the drag-and-drop interface of Circles looks appealing. Then again, if you have hundreds of “friends,” it still might turn into too much organization. Maybe people will use it to create some select groups that they really want (family, close friends, those in a club, etc.). But if it turns into a wonderful tool, it’s hard to imagine that Facebook couldn’t easily match it

    Who’s In Your Circle?:

    There’s no limit to the number of circles you can create. But where do the people come from who will be in your circles?

    First, any contacts you’ve stored through the Google Contacts service will be available. If you have no contacts, you can import them through the CSV format, which many contact services will export out to.

    Google also said that it is looking into ways to directly important contacts from Yahoo and Microsoft. Facebook wasn’t mentioned.

    That’s not surprising. Facebook hasn’t allowed the export of friends’ email addresses, except to … Yahoo and Microsoft. The stories below explains more about this:
    •Facebook: You’ve No Right To Export Email Addresses (Unless It’s To Yahoo & Microsoft)
    •Facebook Messages: Export Of Facebook.com Addresses OK
    What’s all this mean in practical terms? Everyone in Google+ will effectively be starting from scratch.

    If you already use things like Gmail, you probably have Google Contacts that give you email addresses of your social network. If you don’t, you can import — and Yahoo and Microsoft may serve as go-betweens to help you bring information from Facebook into Google Plus.

    From Email To Virtual Person:

    The bigger issue is that your contacts — be that from within Google or imported from Facebook — are basically just email addresses. The won’t have any social connection information with them.

    Google Contacts won’t know that a particular person whose email address you have is friends with other people you know. A Facebook import won’t turn email addresses gathered from there into links with other people who use Facebook.

    Instead, what will really jump start Google+ is if a significant number of people come into the system and start claiming profiles within it, effectively turning those email addresses into virtual people who have connections within Google Plus.

    That’s a big if. If you’re already happy using Facebook, you may have no more incentive to use Google’s new social network than someone already happy using Google has to switch over to Bing. What you’re using is doing the job just fine.

    Now let’s talk about how you see what’s being shared by those in your network, as well as what you can specifically share.

    Information appears in your “Stream,” which is akin to Facebook’s news feed. At the top of your stream is a sharing box. Actually, two sharing boxes:



    In the new black navigation bar that began showing up for some people this week, there’s a “Share” area to the right side. That bar, by the way, has been dubbed the “One Google” bar, Google told me. No matter where you are on Google, you’ll have the ability to share something out to Google Plus.

    In the Stream itself, there’s a longer box, where you can enter a status update or use icons to upload and share photo and videos. You can also share links or your location, if you’ve allowed Google to track that for you. On mobile devices, you can select from a drop-down of nearby places to check-in.

    Hangouts: Group Video Chat
    Google seems to be hanging most of its hopes that Google+ will attract people from Facebook on two main features, I’d say. One is the aforementioned Circles sharing feature. The other is the Hangout video chat feature.

    With Hangouts, up to 10 people at a time can all interact through video:



    The demo I saw of the system was compelling. As one participant spoke, the main image automatically changed to that person. You can also play video that everyone watches.

    Gundotra spent some time talking with me about how Google has examined the social dynamics of video chat, to get people more comfortable participating. The key is to get several people all involved casually, rather than to barge in with a solitary invite.

    He used a “talking to your neighbor” analogy to explain more. You’re probably are hesitant to knock a neighbor’s door and disturb them just because you want to talk. But if you saw them outside on their porch, Gundotra said, you’d probably feel better saying “Hi” when passing by. If two neighbors were sitting and talking, you’d probably feel rude not also stopping and chatting.

    Hence the Hangouts name. When someone launches a Hangout, this shows up on the feed that goes out to their friends. As more people join, the notifications get updated to show the number participating. As that number rises, Google says even more people are compelled to take part.

    The party ends at 10, however. No more can participate for scale reasons and also because the group dynamics get too hard, Gundotra said. If someone leaves, others can come in.

    The puzzling thing to me is that Google’s not made it possible for anyone to stream the chat out to non-participants. If you have a group of friends, and not all can take part at once, others might be interested just to listen in.

    Beyond that, Hangouts seems like a pretty awesome tool for those who wanted to record video shows. But there’s no way to save what happens.



    Huddle: Group Text Chat:
    Somewhat related to Hangouts is Huddle, a group text chat service. I can’t really tell you more than that.

    Instant Upload:
    The last major feature of Google+ is called “Instant Upload.”

    For those with Android phones, you can have any picture you take be uploaded to a centralized — and private — photo album area.

    Google tells me they hope to bring it to other phones, as well.

    Getting Google+
    Want to try the service? Right now, it’s strictly invite only. Some press are being allowed in, along with others that Google hand picks. There’s no ETA on when wider invites will be available.

    Unusually, this isn’t being called a beta test or an experiment but rather a “field trial” that’s meant to finally gather some feedback from outside Google itself.

    The limited test is probably wise. It’ll give Google more time to discover things it might not have anticipated being problems, as was the case with Buzz.

    As for a wider release, and possible success, it’s anyone’s guess. As I said earlier, if you’re happy using Facebook, there seems relatively little to make you want to switch over to Google Plus, at the moment.

    Perhaps with further Google +1 integration, that might change. Perhaps if there are people who want a Facebook alternative, Google’s now got a core to build on for them. At least the guessing about what Google might be doing is over.

    Google+ has an advantage that it has seen all the disadvantages of Facebook .

    Mark Zuckerburg was one of the very first users on Google+

    Mark Zuckerburg's big surprise : Facebook releasing the skype powered video chat next week.

    Transformers 3 : Dark Of The Moon Movie Review

  • Thursday, June 30, 2011
  • Unknown


  • Star Cast: Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Patrick Dempsey, Leonard Nimmoy, Tyrese Gibson
    Director: Michael Bay
    Producer: Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg
    Music Directer:
    Genre: Sci-Fi, Action, Adventure


    Story
    Story: The Autobots must recover the Arc, a Cybertronian aircraft that holds the key to save the planet Cybertron, before the Decepticons. The Arc holds the secret which, if it falls in the hands of Decpticons, will spell disaster for Autobots, and more importantly, for Earth. However, the Autobots soon learn that what they strive to protect, has a deeper and a darker plan than they could imagine. They must race against time and fight one of their own to save the planet and the human race from the Decepticons’ sinister plan.

    Review: Transformers- Dark of the Moon gives its fans something to cheer about. The third instalment of the series makes up for everything Transformers 2 failed at, and goes a step beyond the Transformers (I) glory. The movie serves a huge helping of special effects, complete with a strong storyline. The car chases, the cars transforming or the giant robots in mortal combat- each scene is crafted with attention to detail. While the metal clashing against metal can be overwhelming in certain scenes, the fantastic VFX applied results in a visual delight. However, special effects are not all that the movie has to offer. There are some witty exchanges and moments of comic relief making it a complete package, or one very near to it.

    Michael Bay has exceeded all expectations with Transformers- Dark of the Moon, which could, quiet possibly, be the best among the instalments one so far.

    Story Treatment: Fast-paced and engaging, the plot keeps you at the edge of the seat throughout. Historic references have been employed effectively and the viewer gets some lessons in US and NASA history in the bargain. The twists are unravelled at precise points in the story, which keeps the viewers from getting distracted.

    The love triangle is expertly mingled with the main story, leaving no loose ends. The plot is expertly unravelled, with sufficient amount of dialogue and special effects to move the story along. Though the movie is dominated with special effects, care has been taken to inject appropriate amount humour and emotion in it. All things considered, the visuals do justice to the storyline and the plot, in turn, provides occasion for the superb special-effects.

    Star Cast: Shia LaBeouf reprises his role as Sam Witwicky, although, he is now more of an adult with a fair sense of responsibility. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looks much more like a Victoria Secret’s model (which she is) than Sam’s girlfriend. However, she does justice to her role and proves a far cry from Megan Fox, whose expression seldom changed with the twists in story in the previous movies. LaBeouf and Rosie try hard to add some chemistry to the lead pair, but fail miserably. Her character is just too far out of his league. Bay will not be disappointed in Rosie, as she brings doles of glamour and a fair amount of talent to the table. Patrick Demsey looks awkward and is not very convincing as a villain. The rest of the cast play their part well and don’t give occasion for any harsh criticism.

    Direction: Michael Bay will regain his fans’ vote of confidence. Where his last Transformers severely disappointed, this one goes a long way to make up for it. Bay makes sure the core issue- Autobots war with Decepticons- is not lost between all the effects. He doesn’t alienate the viewers with all the new characters by giving the old ones strong parts to play. He manages to inject a fair dose of emotion in the movie, though; the action scenes far outweigh these. Bay, however, fails to elicit any semblance of romantic feelings between the lead pair.

    Dialogue/Cinematography/Music: The dialogues may not be the strongest point of the movie, but they in no way hold the movie back. There are some intelligent exchanges and wise statements. The humour is more mature and is a good departure from the earlier teenage exchanges. The screen comes alive with all the action, backed with strong special effects. The screen flickers from dark to grey, to bright colours- in keeping with the situation and tone of the scene in the movie. Be it the fiery shades of the African savannahs or the bland surface of the moon, the cinematographer expertly captures the light and the mood.

    The Music, in keeping with the general mood and pace of the movie, consists mainly of heavy metal and rock. Tracks from Linkin Park, Staind, My Chemical Romance and Goo Goo Dolls, among the others, make up the impressive soundtrack.

    Ups and Downs: Fans will definitely not be disappointed. Optimus Prime gets a third transformation capability, while a few other welcome changes are made to the Autobots team. Optimus and Bumblebee return with shiny new additions. Optimus Prime is a treat to watch as he plays the part of the Hero and impresses in every scene.

    The bromance between Bumblebee and Sam is something to watch out for.

    Decepticon Shockwave is impressive and could have been given more screen time.

    The story has heavy battle sequences, so watching the movie in 3D could give a few viewers headaches. The fact that some parts of the film was converted to 3D post-production makes it fall short in bringing out the best in some scenes during the movie. However, the 3D format makes many action sequences stand out from the rest, so the viewers will not be shortchanged for the extra bucks spent.

    The romance between the lead pair is not at all believable, but considering the fact that the movie is about the robots, the human shortcomings can be overlooked.

    Transition between scenes in some places is erratic and abrupt, but this is an exception and not the rule.

    There are a few treats thrown in for crossover fans between Transformers and Star Trek. In the initial few minutes of the movie, when the two small autobots are watching television, a Star Trek scene with a wildly agitated Spock (Leonard Nimmoy) is shown. This is perhaps a harbinger of Sentinel Prime (voiced by Nimmoy) wrecking destruction in the latter part of the movie- a very clever addition. Sentinel Prime also uses a famous line delivered by Spock in a Star Trek movie. A ‘trekkie’ will surely be able to spot this.

    You don’t want to give this one a miss.‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ pegs the film as being the best in Michael Bay’s ‘Transformers’ trilogy.Must watch .......


    NO MEGAN FOX In THIS MOVIE

    Sidharath's 180 Movie Review

  • Sunday, June 26, 2011
  • Unknown


  • Fear of death
    It's Siddharth's comeback film in
    Kollywood. Popular adfilm maker
    Jayendra's first venture on
    screen and what more it has
    been shot mostly in foriegn
    locales. The songs are already
    topping the charts. So
    expectations are high on the
    movie. Check out what
    Nottrienbathu has in store for
    the audience.
    Story
    It is a the story that is set around
    Ajay (Siddharth). He comes to
    Kasi where his outlook on world
    and fear of death changes after
    he meets a young boy. He comes
    to Chennai and stays in a house
    owned by a couple S V S Murthy
    (Mouli) and Jayam (Geetha). He
    gets close with them. They treat
    him as his sons. A do-gooder,
    Ajay lives life with a purpose. He
    gets along with everyone well
    and his cool acts wions the
    admiration of everyone. Vidhya
    (Nithya Menon), a photo
    journalist gets acquainted with
    him. Ajay with the help of Vidya
    gets street children gets
    sponsorship for their education.
    His good hearts attracts Vidhya.
    Things take a tirn when she
    opens her to heart to him,. Ajay
    without informing her decides to
    leave Chennai. But Vidhya meets
    with an accident. Onus is on Ajay
    to get her back to health.
    Meanwhile a flashback reveals
    that AJay was a doctor in USA
    and was attracted to a fun-loving
    girl Renu (Priya Anand). They get
    married after romance only to
    get a rude shock in their life. Ajay
    is diagnosed of cancer and that
    he would die in few months. Cut
    to present, Ajay takes Vidya to
    USA for tratment. Did Ajay meet
    his wife in US? Did he accept
    Vidhya in his life? All unfolds in
    the second half.
    Performance
    It's a superb show by Siddharth.
    The young actor has proved that
    he is versatile enough to handle
    tough roles and deliver it with
    aplomb. He is cool and casual in
    the first half. Bubbly and
    charming he is. His romantic
    escapades are interesting. Nithya
    Menon, with her girl next-door
    looks is perfect foil for the role.
    Prioya Anand plays her role with
    aplomb. Sri Charan as
    Siddharth's friend deserves a
    mention. Mouli walks away with
    aplause for his portrayal. The cast
    includes Geetha, Lakshmi
    Ramakrishnan, Thanikala Bharani
    and Janaki Sabesh.
    Analysis
    Jayendra starts to leave an
    impression with his visual in the
    first frame itself. The story or the
    narration may be very familiar,
    but the catchy dialogues and he
    sequence penned by Jayendra
    along with writers Subha is
    good. The nose for details and
    the execution of emotional
    scenes especially the thoughts of
    a youth all set to face his death
    are brought out well. The first
    half is racy and interesting while
    the latter part drags a bit.
    Technicalities
    Three cheers Jayendra for
    choosing an excellent crew
    behind the camera.
    Balasubramaniam's camera is the
    backbone. The visuals especially
    the manner in which he captured
    the song Rules Kidayathu is
    stunning. The landscapes of Kasi
    and then USA are captured well.
    Sharreth's music is another
    highlight. Sophisticated and
    mesmerising are the tunes.
    Jayendra and Subha have penned
    the story in such a way that there
    are no logical lapses.
    Box Office Prediction
    It is a movie that is rich, suave
    and stylish. There are enough
    emotional elements in it. But the
    fact is that it is too sophisticated
    for a common man to identify
    himself with the film.
    Plus points
    - Siddharth's performance
    - Catchy visuals
    - Good music by Sharreth
    Minus points
    -- Predictable story
    - Slow second half

    The HANGOVER 2 movie review

  • Monday, June 20, 2011
  • Unknown


  • In The Hangover Part II, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu's wedding. After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don't always go as planned. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can't even be imagined

    “The Hangover Part II” isn’t a dud, exactly—some of it is very funny, and there are a few memorable jolts and outlandish dirty moments. But it feels, at times, like a routine adventure film set overseas. There is a car chase through a city market, a boat racing past green mountains on the coast, many bright colors, and much scenery, all of it vaguely reminiscent of a James Bond film

    I was really optimistic going into the theatre, I didn't expect it to as great as the original, but I thought it would still be a good movie. But most of the material was stuff taken from the original only , and I hate to say it but I was actually bored for a good part of the movie. Some of the jokes/scenes dragged to long, to the point where I didn't find them funny anymore. There were some good moments, but the truly outrageous/original scenes that made the original so great were too few and far between. Some of the scenes were more outrageous in the sense that there was some full nudity, but I'm not someone who finds that super entertaining. Overall it felt to me like a re-hash of stuff that had already been done with some naked people thrown in, and it just wasn't enjoyable like the first movie.

    But On The Whole You Find It Some What Exciting Watching The Movie You R Gonna Have Fun Felaaaaaaaaaa's
