Windows 7 – First Look

The new laptop that i bought for my fiancee was an HP Pavilion dv4 that was shipped with Windows 7. So i got to have a look at Windows 7.

Though a linux fan, i had to see what Microsoft was offering with its Windows 7. Well to start with it looks and feels like its older brother Vista. Oh ya, i remember someone telling me that Windows 7 is noting bug Vista with bug fixes. So here are some of the screen shots that i took.

A Worthless Existence

It’s really interesting how many senseless people you live with or you had to live with. A total embarassment to the human race. My latest project is to find and exterminate each one of them, no kidding!!!. But its fun when you look back and realize that, ‘Hey he was a real dick-head!’. Makes me laugh everytime. Han (Tokyo Drift) said – “Life is simple, You make choices and dont look back!!!”. Though this is a movie dialogue, why cant people understand the message in there. May be they need to watch the movie. Oh wait, they are too busy messing up other people’s life.

By this time the populi (the unfortunate ones reading this) must be wondering what’s the whole post about. Let me get to the point. Though this blog is not a very famous one, i do get my share of crappy comments. The most intereting ones are those that are directed towards me. No i’m not talking about people who call me a dumb-fucking-ass and sick, because my view about something is total crap. I totally enjoy that. I’m talking about the more personal comments.

Yes! i’m talking about the dumb-witted fools, who think that they can come to my site and just comment, expressing derogatory opinions. I tell you, that aint going to make a difference. Before i answer why. Some background info.

I know all the people whom i ever had a rift with, and the causalities of that. I knew most of them from the last 4 years. That means that they are all techies. I pity the employers who got them into their projects. Why? because they live in a shell and only know about what’s happening in that shell. They think that within their miserable little world they make the best deceptive Bond or Mata Hari. How pathetic!!!

Let me tell you this. Learn whats happening in the world. You just can’t drop into my blog and comment what ever you feel like. You leave traces. Yes you might be smart enough to leave a fake name. Then you might be thinking, about the IP of your machine, the proxy server that you used, the fake ‘e-mail’ id that you gave. C’mon that’s so lame! You should know that there are better ways of tracing you out.

Sorry dear!

To the reader : this post is for the one person, who took 12 minutes out of their worthless existence and ‘cared’ to make 3 comments. Oh wait! i wasted my time writing, so did u by reading. Aaarggg!!! what did i tell you about senseless people wasting our time !!!!

Recession At Its Best

Recession has forced companies to take serious steps towards cost cutting. People are left jobless and the ones with the jobs have their income so tightly squeezed that their is bare enough left even to buy a condom.

Under such situations, people will just do anything to hold on to their job. Even is that means losing the place where they rest their ass on ..take a look ..

iPod Touch Headset Test

overview hero 20090224 iPod Touch Headset Test

(pic. courtesy © 2009 Apple Inc.)

Almost a month and a half back, i bought a new 2nd Gen. 8GB iPod Touch. Well i have to say that its one handy device and i look like a star (or atleast i feel so), given the fact that i mostly come in contact with people whose knowledge of technology is as good as my knowledge of politics.

On the internet you’ll find all sorts of tests that people do on the unsuspecting iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone etc. But did you really care to test the headset. No! none of them really did any of that. I’m into QA (quality assurance) and though my testing of the iPod headset wont do me any good. Also any expenses involved has to be from my account. No one will ever ever fund something like what i did…

Disclaimer: This is a seasoned experienced tester. Experiments like this can leave you broke. Please do not attempt this at home.

Cost of a brand new iPod headset – Rs 1’600/-

I didnt care to buy a new one. I just used the one that they shipped with the iPod.

Steps :

  1. Place the headset in a shirt pocket, preferrably with a button on top, so that the test-material a.k.a headset doesnt drop off
  2. Soak the shirt in a half a bucket of water, with 2 spoons of detergent ( Yes!!!)
  3. Wait for 12hrs
  4. Take the shirt (with the headset in its pocket) and dump it into a washing machine along with other clothes and do a dirt-run.
  5. Wait 1hr
  6. Pretend that you forgot about the clothes and the headset in the washing machine and wait for 1 more hour
  7. Take the clothes, put them to dry

Now, take the headset out, wipe it clean, give it CPR, plug it into the iPod and play ….

IT WORKS !!! icon biggrin iPod Touch Headset Test and here it is ladies and gentlemen, the headset that made it through, resting on my laptop
