Just Do It!




As smoke billows from a burning bus at a demonstration in Tehran, a Mousavi supporter flashes the sign for peace, or victory.

Check his bagstrap..... :)

Horsetail Falls






'Yosemite National Park is one of the world’s great destinations for photographers. Each year in late February, however, camera buffs converge with a particular urgency: There are just a few days when the setting sun and the position of the Earth’s orbit transform El Capitan’s wispy Horsetail Falls into a spectacular light show. This year’s “fire fall” effect was captured at about 5:45 p.m. Friday as the sun lit up the 1,500-foot waterfall against the darkening granite behind it. '

From what I've gathered through blogs & videos this event is difficult to capture as the intensity of light falling on the fall as well as the water content of the fall makes all the difference! Theres also a particular time when you see it as molten lava, on most other occasions it just brightens up the fall & the surrounding area.

Google Horsetail Falls, Yosemite National Park for more info & images :)

This Watch is A Phone




Tired of carrying an I-pod, phone & watch where-ever you go? This classic-new style statement hell yeah decreases the load of gadgets you'd want to carry with you!

With an equipped 1.5 inch touchscreen, bluetooth, mp3-mp4 playback, 1.3 megapixel camera, 128 MB memory (& additional support for 8GB)..with a 100 hours of standby battery giving 180 minutes of talktime.. its well.. quite 'Cool'....

RockXtreme Vs HP

Yeah I know-- Laughable Comparison.

But of all the Nut-Job Laptops there are out there I fell in love with these two for two very different reasons.





Lets start with RockXtreme SL8 series (the one on the left)

For this one im just going to write out the Specs & you'll know why I WANT this machine.
Visit the website if you dont believe me- Its been tagged as the FASTEST laptop in the world.

Here we go. Hold your breath-
2 NVIDIA GeForce 9800M Graphics Cards
1.5 TB RAID Hard drive
8 Gb RAM
with a 17 inch screen.

Enough Said......
plus I found this interesting site portables4gamers. Apparently gamers have all the fun when it comes to mind-blowing configuration machines...


Now we come to HP Touchsmart.
Its Sane, Affordable, Gadgety, Smart, Fun.
Its one of the first consumer machines to offer full multi-touch capabilities allowing users to 'organize files, navigate videos & edit pictures with the aid of two handed drag, pinch, rotate & flick gestures'

I know its become kind of cliche with the i-phone revolution but hell its still impressive!!!
As far as the config goes, its 2.1 Ghz AMD x2, 8Gb RAM, ATI HD3200 Graphics Card...Aint so bad either :)

Toys For Me!

Introducing Meccano's Spykee!!!!!





I can understand kids throwing tantrums over this!!! Just look at it! If these are what they call toys these days I really dont ever want to grow up!!!

In this age of PS3's & real-life virtual reality Meccano didn't want to feel left out.. So they develop this- a webcam, microphone, MP3 player, Wi-fi Remote Receiver 'TOY' Spycam called Spykee. Its a domestic spy drone that can be remotely controlled via an internet connection from- well- anywhere the internet reaches. Oh add to it that you build this up, its ideal for 'kids' with an inherent inclination towards robotics..

Really... & all I played with was hotwheels....

Dell Studio Hybrid




Aah the Dell Studio Hybrid...
I was never a big fan of the boxy dell features in laptops previously but they're doing a good job of making their designs more 'aesthetically pleasing' over the past two years!

The Studio Hybrid obviously has been long prevalent but it struck my senses particularly today.
The only problem with this is that it makes the computer tables redundant coz it requires no longer the big box at the bottom to house your CPU!!!

It comes equipped with a 4Gb RAM, 320HDD & Intel Core-2 Duo. The one that troubles me is the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100-- coz its facing mixed reviews!! Its counter-part Nvidia 7150 however has proved its performance through the year.

For a home-user & exec's that don't usually give so much of a damn about the Graphic cards however this seems a great (& pretty) buy!

As to why they tag it green & hybrid- Its SUPPOSEDLY energy efficient.
