  • Pyaar Impossible Review, Pyaar Impossible Review Download

    Pyaar Impossible’ is the story of Abhay (Uday Chopra) and Alisha (Priyanka Chopra). Alisha is the most stunning girl in Ankert University, California, a girl that almost every guy dreams of having in his life. Just a snap of her fingers makes boys line up, waiting to cater to her every whim and fancy.

    Everybody loves Alisha and so does Abhay. Now, Abhay is a nerdy, awkward, socially challenged, bespectacled geek, of whose existence Alisha is not even aware of. Abhay is madly in love with Alisha, but finds it difficult to convey his feelings. He prefers to admire her from a distance. One day, he musters up all the courage to express his true feelings to her. However, in the course of things that follow, Abhay comes to term with the fact that his love story is not meant to be and will never become a reality. The pyaar (love) seems to be totally impossible and this is where they part ways and move in different directions.

    Fate has some great plans in store for Abhay and Alisha. Soon, they come face to face again and the story moves ahead. Now that he has managed to get close to Alisha, will Abhay be able to build up the strength to believe in himself and get his dream girl? Will the bespectacled whiz kid become the man of Alisha’s dreams? Will she be able to see the real person behind those glasses? Is pyaar possible between the two different contrasting personalities? To get answers to these questions and also to know whether the flick will be able to resurrect Uday’s sagged acting career or not, wait for 8th January.

  • Asus gets stylish with its new hard drives, bags

    IMG_0217
    Who knew Asus made bags? And tasteful ones, at that? Not me. So I took some pictures. They also had a shining pink hard drive with that fashionable design we saw on the new Eee PCs. The hard drive itself is unremarkable, but some people really need these things to match, so the design was necessary to implement on accessories as well as the computers themselves. They come in chocolate and strawberry.

    And of course the Eee Keyboard was there, so I took its picture too. Looks pretty much like we left it last. No purchase information on this stuff yet, but we’re going to drop by the booth live tomorrow and I’ll get it updated. Gallery follows.

  • Bilans 2009: Le marché britannique

    Fin d’année en fanfare pour le marché automobile anglais, avec + 38,9% en décembre. Hélas, comme dans beaucoup d’autres pays, ça ne suffit pas à rattraper une année 2009 très difficile pour les ventes de voitures outre-Manche.

    –> Retrouvez les autres bilans 2009 déjà publiés: Allemagne, Etats-Unis, Italie, Espagne. (S’ouvrent dans une nouvelle fenêtre)

    Avec 1 994 999 véhicules particuliers vendus, le marché anglais est retombé à son plus bas niveau depuis 1995. Ici aussi, c’est la prime à la casse qui a évité le pire, ainsi qu’une baisse provisoire de TVA.

    Du côté des podiums, on retrouve: (à gauche sur décembre / droite sur l’année)

    1- Ford Fiesta                                     Ford Fiesta

    2- Ford Focus                                     Ford Focus

    3- Vauxhall Astra                               Vauxhall Corsa

    4- VW Golf                                           Vauxhall Astra

    5- Vauxhall Corsa                             VW Golf

    6- Mini                                                  Peugeot 207

    7- Peugeot 207                                  Mini

    8- BMW série 3                                  BMW série 3

    9- Fiat 500                                          Vauxhall Insigna

    10- Nissan Qashqai                         Ford Mondeo

    Le SMMT, syndicat anglais des industriels de l’auto, anticipe une année 2010 plus difficile, avec des résultats probablement inférieurs à 2009 en raison de la suppression de la prime à la casse et de la remontée de la TVA. Le SMMT avance le chiffre de 1,8 millions de véhicules vendus cette année.

    Du côté des gagnants, comme un peu partout dans le monde, on retrouve le groupe Hyundai (Hyundai + Kia), qui progresse da manière spectaculaire, tout comme Fiat (+ Abarth et Alfa Romeo).

    Côté perdants, le groupe Chrysler (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep), comme un peu partout, Saab évidemment, mais également Renault, qui n’est pas à la fête, et le groupe Toyota (Toyota, Lexus et Daihatsu) qui recule assez nettement.

  • The illusion of wealth and happiness and the disconnect btw appearance and reality

    It has dawned on me after several months of trying to figure out what was missing in the west
    there was something missing i couldnt put my head around. .it didnt matter if i was in vegas,miami,new york,DC or philadelphia. . .something was just not quite right
    i checked out as many cities as i could. . .u stay in a hotel somewhere downtown,check out the clubs. . .and it was always the same thing. . apart from the cities i mention above i have also clubbed in tampa florida,st loius,baltimore,upstate newyork and boston. . .
    i been in city/college towns in the city or sub urbs. . .
    i have ridden trains from the airport to the city centre in a lot of towns like st louis. . checked out the bars in daytime or night

    but there is no soul amongst the people, they are all like drones or zombies who dance to whatever music they say is cool. . .and sleep with u without even knowing why
    no culture. . .just this humongous stretch of paved roads and strip malls. . .

    it was slightly better in AA communities i hung in,been to a couple of block parties,with streets blocked off and kids(15yr olds) doing dance offs. . .
    all black faces except one or two white starbucks type hanging around like tourists. . .

    however once the party ends everyone goes back to the i dont trust strangers mode,ppl are more tense. . .two days later i hear there was a shooting at the chicken spot 2 blocks from where i attended the block party

    In Nigeria and perhaps much of africa. . .a lot of the ppl u see might be poor,but they are genuinely happy. . .u have open air bars,that line streets where ppl chat and laugh till daybreak. . .
    u can get into a bus and laugh all through cause something is always happening. . .
    whether it is the okadaman or gateman,househelp or oga bigman. . .there is always something to smile about. . .
    am sorry folks but i believe these ppl are richer in the end. . .apart from the fact that u cant take any of all these when u die,
    but they also have something money cannot buy. . .could be the culture,maybe a spiritual calm,whatever it is i cant find it in the west. . .
    i have given up trying to make friends with folks here that are not african or carribean. .in nigeria your friend can call u anytime,and u all know where u live
    over here its the opposite. . .

    so all am saying is,as we wish for skyscrappers and strip malls for africa. .
    we should be weary of loosing the only thing that can truley make us rich and fulfilled on this earth

  • So What Should Motorola Do Now?

    Earlier this week, when Google announced its Nexus One phone, it appeared that the new Android-driven connected device ecosystem is going to be a three-headed monster: Qualcomm as provider of the chips, Google as maker of the operating system and HTC as the preferred device manufacturer. (In the PC-centric WinTel world, the infamous troika consisted of Microsoft, Intel and Dell.) The Nexus One release essentially left Motorola and the guy who bet the company on Android, CEO Sanjay Jha, out in the cold.

    At the device unveiling held at Googleplex, the search giant made a big effort to dispel the notion that it’s not doing an end run around its partners. Google even got Jha to show up, get on stage and mutter some polite nothings. It didn’t go unnoticed that he was late getting there — he cited traffic — and left as soon as it was over.

    Well, paint me cynical, but guys who have corporate Gulfstreams at their disposal don’t get delayed in traffic unless they want to. More importantly, his onstage body language made clear that Motorola wasn’t too thrilled about the Nexus One, especially after publicly betting the farm on Android.

    Indeed, I’ve since had two very senior sources in the mobile industry confirm as much.

    If I was Jha, I’d sure feel snookered. And soon, the Verizon version of the Nexus One will be available, sales of which will undoubtedly come at the expense of the Droid, which is made by Motorola. The winner will once again will be HTC, the Taiwanese smartphone maker in which Qualcomm holds a minority interest.

    “We had an investment in HTC very early on. And I knew Peter Chao (HTC’s chief executive),” Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs told Cnet’s Brooke Crothers some two years ago. When talking about Android, Qualcomm and HTC, Jacobs said, “It was kind of like a bunch of people who had known each other for a long time in the wireless industries coming together.” I wonder if HTC will build a Qualcomm-powered Chrome based device –- smartbook or tablet -– next. (That special Qualcomm-HTC relationship is perhaps the reason why HTC is porting its Sense technology to the increasingly irrelevant BREW platform.)

    In a note to clients issued yesterday, RBC Capital Markets’ analyst Mark Sue estimated that Motorola sold 12.5 million mobile devices in the fourth quarter of 2009, down from his previous estimate of 13 million devices. He blamed slower-than-expected sales of the CLIQ, which are being handled by T-Mobile USA. At the same time, Motorola is banking on the U.S. and China for the near term before eventually going after the European market. While the Droid is said to have topped the million-device mark, the company is still skating on thin ice and any disruption — such as the Nexus One — could essentially send Motorola into bone-freezing waters. The Verizon edition of the Nexus One, for example, is going to cause problems for a new device Motorola wants to sell to Verizon. It is codenamed Calgary and has MotoBlur, according to Sue.

    That is why the Nexus One feels like a knife in the back. So what should Motorola’s Jha do? Call Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s CEO? Nah, that’s a terrible idea. Microsoft isn’t capable of stopping the Android train and even then Motorola is going to be betting on someone else’s OS. Maybe use LiMo or Symbian? Again, not so smart. What Motorola needs to do is take a page from the Apple/RIM playbook and get vertically integrated.

    And in order to do that, the company should buy Palm. As I argued yesterday, Palm has a great OS. It actually has a couple of other things going for it as well, including Jon Rubenstein and the team he’s assembled, many of whom are former Apple folks. The Palm team should do the software and Motorola’s engineers, the hardware. And when it comes to the hardware, again, it should be adopting Apple’s design and development principles, which Rubenstein must know pretty well.

    I argued back in March of 2007 that that Motorola should buy Palm. The tactical reasons I outlined then have since changed, but what hasn’t is the strategic imperative of the two companies teaming up. Palm needs scale, while Motorola needs software. It’s the only way the handset maker will be able to take full control of its own destiny, to not be beholden to Android or any other OS. In the past three years, both companies have become pale shadows of their former selves. They don’t have a minute to waste.

    Maybe it’s time for Rubenstein and Jha to have that phone call!

  • Lady Gaga For Polaroid

    Lady Gaga made a splash when she announced a partnership with Polaroid at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Thursday.

    John Pollock, chief marketing officer of Polaroid, revealed that the over-the-top pop star will enter a long term partnership with Polaroid as the brand’s creative director on a new specialty line of imaging products.

    Of course, Gaga’s questionable choice of ensemble was the real talk of the town!

  • iPhone devsugar: Simple table badges

    Filed under: , , ,

    TUAW’s devsugar series helps introduce developers to tools and tricks that they might not yet be familiar with. Today’s tip centers on table-level badging and how to simply and easily add badged cells to your iPhone Xcode projects.

    Badges are a natural partner for table view cells. When working with one-to-many data like mailboxes with letters, or RSS feeds with articles, they indicate how many items (or new items) branch off of each available choice. The standard Apple SDK does not offer badge functionality.

    iPhone Developer Tim Grant Davies to the rescue. He has built an open source github repository for his TDBadgedCell project. Distributed under the Creative Commons Public License, this class allows you to add numbers to the right of each table view cell, and choosing a background color for each number.

    Each badge is drawn in a custom view using CoreGraphics. This means the class does not rely on extra images stored in memory, and the badges are drawn quickly on demand. You can set color properties for each badge, indicating hues for both the normal and highlighted states.

    When working with cells without accessories — accessories are a table cell property defined in the official SDK — the badge is placed into the accessory view. When accessories have been defined, the badge is instead placed conditionally, to the left of of any shown accessory. The screen shot here demonstrates the use of the TDBadgedCell class using a table with disclosure chevron accessories.

    The class inherits directly from UITableViewCell, and can be used in its place when providing cells for a table’s data source. Simply add the class to your Xcode project and return badged cells instead of standard table view cells. Use setBadgeNumber: to set the badge to an integer value.

    Davies developed this class for use in his personal projects but when he found a high demand for these features from many other developers, he decided to re-write the badge cell from scratch. He has provided it as an open source class for all iPhone developers to take advantage of. So if your application could use a some badges for notification, head on over and try it out!

  • The Fashion of 3D Glasses, Always Out of Style [3D]

    I just tried 3D HD and really enjoyed it. I don’t even mind how goofy the glasses make me look, but that’s mostly because I wouldn’t be looking at myself. Really, I’d look sillier than I can imagine. See?

    And what do you do when you have friends over to watch a game or movie? Spend hundreds of dollars in spares, or have the friends you like least stare at the doubled up images, crosseyed, for hours? It’s little things like this that sap my enthusiasm for 3D but I’m into it. There’s no stopping the future.







  • Boxee Beta goes public — now for a look inside the box

    Boxee BetaMedia center software maker Boxee announced the public launch of its Boxee Beta software, today, after only a month in private beta.

    The downloadable software allows users to connect their computers to any TV and instantly stream different types of media, including TV shows, music and movies. The software also uploads any media content present on a computer’s hard drive so that it can be accessed and viewed on the TV. This includes personal pictures or home movies, which now can be viewed and shared with friends or family right in your living room. The beta version is currently available for Mac, Windows and Ubuntu.

    The company also launched a DVR-type feature called bookmarklet, which allows the user to save a video for later viewing. According to CNet, this is currently limited to a handful of sites, including Vimeo, Blip.tv, YouTube, Break, Metacafe, Viddler, The Onion, CollegeHumor, DailyMotion, HowCast, MTV, FunnyorDie, and Gametrailers. That covers most of the big ones, at least.

    Today’s launch is just one of many recent Boxee announcements, including its partnership with D-Link to produce its Boxee Box. The device would eliminate the need to connect a computer to a TV to consume streaming media. Rather, users would have a designated set-top box that they could search to consume the same media found via the software.

    According to the companies blog post earlier today, they are making a joint announcement with NVIDIA and D-Link revealing that the Boxee Box is powered by the Tegra 2 (T20) platform. The platform will make for a seamless user interface, and play 1080p video as well as Adobe Flash 10.1.

  • Dynamic duo: Tesla and Panasonic team to build a better car battery

    Screen shot 2010-01-07 at 4.42.20 PMNot only is it official that Tesla Motors has chosen Panasonic to supply battery packs for its electric vehicles, the two companies will also be working together to build more affordable and efficient lithium nickel batteries for green cars present and future, they announced today.

    Before now, Tesla had been buying batteries from a variety of sources. But Panasonic, which recently swallowed leading lithium-ion battery seller Sanyo, has the manufacturing capability to drive down costs for the green car maker. That way, Tesla can focus on testing various batteries with its products, both its Roadster and the Model S. If their combined efforts do produce a cheaper, longer-lasting model, it could help EVs overcome one of the biggest hurdles standing in the way of wide adoption: the exorbitant cost of their battery packs.

    Daimler, a third-party here, also stands to benefit from the deal. When it first acquired its 10 percent stake in Tesla last May, it also gained access to the company’s unique power train technology. With Panasonic supplying batteries to meet Tesla’s specifications, Tesla might be setting itself up to bring in more revenue supplying EV components than actually manufacturing cars itself.

    But the connection between Daimler and Tesla gets complicated. Daimler also owns a 49.9 percent stake in Li Tec, a German lithium-ion battery manufacturer, and plans to use the company’s cells in its forthcoming Smart Car. This could block Daimler from reaping the fruit of the Panasonic-Tesla collaboration. Then again, Tesla’s deal with Panasonic isn’t exclusive, and there’s a chance it could simply help it design the appropriate battery packs and chargers and turn them over to Li Tec to manufacture. It will be interesting to see how Daimler navigates its various relationships.

    And what will Panasonic get in return for its expertise? The partnership with Tesla has significantly raised the visibility of its battery programs, even when it was just speculation. Tesla is by far the most recognizable brand dedicated to electric vehicle production, and it’s cultivated a pretty glamorous and prestigious image. It’s a pretty good star for Panasonic to hitch its wagon to in this area, making it clear that the electronics company is ready to take on energy storage, first at the automotive level, and eventually even at home and grid scale.

    The choice of using lithium nickel batteries in Tesla’s cars is an interesting one. Right now, Tesla uses lithium cobalt batteries in its cars. Remember those laptops that burst into flame? They used lithium cobalt too. With Panasonic refining its less combustible lithium nickel technology, it looks like the deal may also provide a safer choice, as well as a cheaper one for the green automaker.

  • Take that, Amazon Kindle! Plastic Logic’s boss on the Que eBook reader (video)

    plastic logicPlastic Logic finally launched its Que eBook reader for business people today at the Consumer Electronics Show, after a ten year development cycle. The company took a long time because it had to do pioneering work in the creation of plastic transistors, or electronics which use plastic instead of silicon chips as their base substrate.

    The company launched its business at DEMO in the fall of 2008, but it ran into some delays. Still, now the company has a polished plan. It has powerful allies in AT&T, which provides wireless networking for book downloads, and Barnes & Noble, which has more than a million ebooks available for download from its store. We caught up with Richard Archuleta today at the company’s booth at the Consumer Electronics Show. The device will ship in April with two different versions. A $649 Que will include 4 gigabytes of memory but won’t have 3G wireless. A $799 version will have eight gigabytes of memory and will have 3G wireless. Here’s our video.

  • Graphic.ly to launch a slick reader for digital comics

    Graphic.ly Desktop ReaderLike many of you reading this post, more and more of my media consumption is moving online, where I get most of my news, movies, music, television, and even some of my books. One of the last areas where I’m holding onto the physical object is comic books — but a startup called Graphic.ly may change that.

    I’ve tried reading comic books as images files, as PDF documents, and as iPhone apps, but none of them combined good image quality with a smooth reading experience. (The less said about the ungodly hybrid known as “motion comics,” the better.)

    But Boulder, Colo.-based Graphic.ly says it has created a slick comics app, as a native application for Windows 7, as a cross-computer app using Adobe AIR, and as an iPhone app. In addition to comics reading, Graphic.ly offers social features and a digital comics store, and it plans to include DVD-style extras too — like the ability to see individual art layers (the pencil drawings without ink or color, for example) or comments from creators.

    Now, I haven’t had a chance to try the app out myself, but I’m hopeful after my conversations with co-founders Micah Baldwin and Kevin Mann. They’re knowledgeable comics fans and have clearly spent a lot of time thinking about the reading experience. Microsoft must have been impressed too, because Graphic.ly was demonstrated on-stage (very) briefly during Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer’s keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Showing off Windows 7’s touchscreen capabilities, the demonstrator smoothly swiped between different comics pages.

    Graphic.ly is rolling out a very early Windows 7 version of its app, first to members of comic site iFanboy in a couple days, then to the general public two weeks later. Baldwin says he’ll be incorporating a lot of fan feedback. In fact, if Graphic.ly decides to incorporate your suggestion, the company will invite you to sit in on the relevant engineering meetings.

    Graphic.ly was incubated by TechStars, and just raised $1.2 million led by DFJ Mercury, with participation from Starz Media and individual investors David Cohen, Chris Sacca, Jack Nickell, Paige Craig, and Dave McClure. It’s also part of Microsoft’s BizSpark One program, which provides startups with free software and other resources — including on-stage demos at CES, if you’re really lucky.
