Windows 8 | Cool Features

Microsoft's new Windows OS, Windows 8 has permanently changed the way Windows users see the world's most common operating system. And for the first time in Windows history, it even looks different.

Better Designed Interface

Instead of the usual desktop and home screen, your home page is actually colored tiles, each a one-click access to Windows's most important features. Inspired by a Swiss design principle called Metro, It's simpler, and (for Windows, I must reiterate) cuter than what Windows has been unto) cuter. It also gets rid of clicking through many menus to get where you want to go.

Compatible with Tablets, Laptops and Desktops

The simple interface is perfectly compatible with any device - it lends itself perfectly to touchscreen as well as the regular desktop. Windows puritans can still access the old desktop view with just a click or tap.

The software is also optimized for ARM-based processors, a default component in smartphones and tablets due their energy efficient nature.

Faster

It loads in less than eight seconds, and the Metro interface loads apps in a snap. Even the hardware offers faster solution, via the USB 3.0 and Hyper-V to put it in comparison, its as fast as Apple's iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Mac OS X Lion.

Windows App Store

After everyone else, Windows has entered the app game. This means more apps designed specifically for the Metro UI.

Top 5 Phones For Social Network Like Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, Google Plus, MySpace, LinkedIn

According to recent reports, accessing Social media on phones has overtaken usage on computers.

You don't need a browser, or even any internet connection on your phone to access Facebook anymore. Further, mobile users spend a lot more time than PC users on social networking sites.

HTC Salsa

The blue Facebook button is the first thing you notice about the Salsa. It's certainly not an awkwardly placed blue dot you might accidentally thumb over. It's also very Facebook - the backlit button pulses and blinks when something worthy of being Shared happens.

Press it once,and you can update your Facebook status, or share something with a Friend via the “Post to” box. A long press, and you're instantly at Facebook Places. Or, if you find an interesting website while browsing on the 3G/Wi-fi, press the button to instantly share the link. Even the music you're listening is not spared;song information can be statused instantly.
The phone's desktop widgets are also Facebook;instead of the default weather updates, you have a regular Friend Stream, along with a Facebook Chat widget. Photos can be automatically uploaded to Facebook if you enable it.

Vodafone 555 Blue

If there's a Facebook phone, can a budget Facebook phone be behind? That's the 555 Blue from Vodafone. QWERTY keypad, a decent 2.4-inch display, and a 2-megapixel camera.
It plays music (16 GB - expandable).

And it's very, very, Facebook. When you turn on the phone for the first time, you have to log into Facebook. Every 20 minutes, it refreshes your current Facebook information. The budget status also extends to the display. There's no 3G or Wi-fi either. Add that to the a 800MHz processor, and you 'll be irritated when you have to do more than updating your Facebook status.

Motorola EX 225

It's not here yet, and there's only one photo of it - but that's the power of social media for you.
Expected to be a feature phone with BREW (no Android), the phone's rumored to spec a 2.4-inch TFT-LCD display, a 3 megapixel camera, a five row QWERTY keyboard and the Facebook blue button/bump. Motorola's first Facebook phone is clearly playing it safe. And, with Google's takeover of Motorola Mobility, a Google + phone might have been a better idea.

BlackBerry Torch 9800

It's spacious, gorgeous and fabulous. it's also the first Blackberry to feature a physical QWERTY keyboard, along with a with a sliding multi-touch screen display, which makes a big difference when you're scrolling through tweets and updates.

The comfy backlit QWERTY keyboard, combined with the touchscreen Sure Type keyboard makes for a pleasurable typing experience. It also kicked off Blackberry's slow foray into better social media integration in phones.

INQ Cloud Touch

There is no point to buying the Cloud Touch if not for the social media. The enhanced Facebook widget feeds news, notifications and updates from Friends, and the phone uses Facebook's Social Graph API to simultaneously select and feed you more from your five most-contacted friends.

The INQ Cloud touch is also beautiful, in a feminine way - there's a reassuringly thick bezel design bordering the phone.
The Cloud Touch is synonymous with the Facebook phone tag because every tiny Facebook feature - News, People, Events, Notifications and Places has it's own live widget.

Even your Facebook Chat, Friends, Messages, News Feed, Notifications, Photos, Profile have their own direct app shortcuts.
Facebook's also woven into the phone.

Your regular Android calendar adds Facebook birthdays and Events from Facebook. Your INQ Contacts will include an extra tab for people who are on Facebook

Memory expandable to 32 GB

Fluency app powers faster writing - it may be a trivial detail, but Touch Type's is one of the best word prediction tech out there.

iPhone 4

Facebook on the iPhone 4 is not just about the Facebook app. It's combining geo-enabled apps with happenings events, hangouts (Prowl Owl, Loopt), and the fastest social sharing of content in beautiful ways (BlipSnips, Postage). There's also support for social media multitasking (HootSuite, Seesmic), voice commands (Talking Facebook) and staying in touch with Friends across various platforms (Friends for Facebook, Twitter, MySpace & LinkedIn)

Google Wave

Google Wave is a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web, coming later this year.Here’s the look of the new google wave.

What is a wave?

A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

The new system(google wave) is a combination of email and instant messaging and document-, maps- image- and video-sharing all housed in one spot.Much like a conference call, it also allows for conversations between more than two people to happen simultaneously. And it can happen in different languages using an instantaneous translation tool.And because it all takes place inside a web browser, there is no special software to download or plug-in – which means it can be used from any computer or internet-enabled mobile phone.

Some key technologies in Google Wave

Real-time collaboration:

Concurrency control technology lets all people on a wave edit rich media at the same time.

Wisden Drops Pakistan Player From Cricketers Of The Year

The Wisden Cricketers' Almanack has broken with tradition and named only four cricketers of the year for its 2011 edition because of the Pakistan spot-fixing scandal, editor Scyld Berry said on Friday.

The publication has named five players since 1926 but this year only Bangladesh's Tamim Iqbal and England's Eoin Morgan, Chris Read and Jonathan Trott made the shortened list.

Three Pakistan players Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt were banned for a minimum of five years each for manipulating incidents in last year's Lord's Test against England.

Fast bowler Amir, who was named Pakistan's player of the series against England, has been widely reported by British media to be the name omitted from the prestigious list.

"The fifth Cricketer of the Year, I can reveal, was going to be one of three Pakistan players - Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir - until they were banned by the ICC's independent tribunal for the bowling of deliberate no-balls in the fourth Test at Lord's," Berry said in a column in The Telegraph newspaper.

"Which one of the three was selected? I am not going to say because it would not be in keeping with cricket's tradition of fairness."

The Wisden Cricketers of the Year dates back to 1889 and is bestowed upon players who made the biggest impact during the previous English summer.

Rio Is An Unstoppable Flight Of Fun

In the world of toons, disability and phobias are treated with a little bit sensitivity and a great lot of adventure. And so whether it's Dumbo with his exceptionally enormous ears, Nemo and his 'lucky' fin or a discordant Mumble's much-disapproved flair for tap dancing, they've all applied these so-called drawbacks to their advantage.

Although 3D feature Rio's feathery hero Blu (Jesse Eisenberg), a Spix's Macaw never achieves the greatness of the afore-mentioned fellas, he ensures a delightful hour and a half with his nervous natter and uncharacteristic ways. For one, he doesn't know how to fly.

There's no pixie dust to get him off the ground either. Instead he's a home-schooled, hot-chocolate sipping, physics genius -- a spectacle-free extension of his nerdy and kind mistress, Linda (Leslie Mann) since forever, alright, make that 15 years.

Earlier reels explain how a freak accident brought him to a sleepy town in Minnesota where Blu and his favourite girl now lead a comfortable and cozy existence until a Brazilian scientist lands on their door urging them to fly with him to Rio, allowing director Carlos Saldanha to take a break from the pasty appearance of Ice Age movies to offer a eye-catching tour of his hometown whilst providing a spirited backdrop to/of Rio.

As it turns out, Blu is the only surviving male of his species and is expected to save his kind from extinction by mating with Jewel (Anne Hathaway [ Images ]), the only female in that order. Only Jewel is no eyelash-fluttering Daisy but a fiendishly feisty Brazilian babe, bringing her claws out at any swaggering cockatoo in sight, including Nigel (Jemaine Clement excels in a generating marmalade-smooth menace). The latter, of course, is the quintessential villain of this piece taking a march (flight?) over his human counterpart. Like a ubiquitous henchman on their trail, this bitter ex-star of a popular bird show refuses to rest till he's delivered the cerulean Macaws to a typically greedy poacher.

So what's the deal? The macaws have to mate. The cockatoo has to stop them. The poacher wants the birds. The bumbling sidekicks don't care. The birds want to escape. Linda and the scientist are on their own trip. There's an orphan suffering from conscience imbalance issues. Also, not too long afterwards we run into a cardinal, a canary, a toucan and a seriously slobbering bulldog. Wait, did I mention big and burly gangs of pick pocketing, pelvic-thrusting monkeys?

Clearly, Rio has a *lot* on its mind. This is both fantastic and fatiguing.

While there's absolutely no dearth of visual attractions, a wild assortment of lively humour and cultural clichés like Brazilian beaches, carnival parade, Christ the redeemer, samba, romantic trams, the works, Rio's optic verve and meticulous computer graphics wouldn't be half as effective if not for its terrific voice cast.

Anne Hathaway's Jewel is a well-composed mix of puckish glamour and alluring aggression. Whereas Eisenberg moves away from his cold, hasty talking style from The Social Network to acquire an adorable James Stewart-inspired panicky tone complimenting Hathaway's bossy aura in more ways than one.

Others like Clement, George Lopez, Tracy Morgan [ Images ], Jamie Foxx [ Images ], Leslie Mann and Will.i.am lend the funny to their lines through their respective cameos, even if the spectacular quotient isn't enough to rank them alongside memorable subordinates like Thumper, Flounder, Dory or Kaa, which brings us to the flip side of Rio.

The narrative, owing to its unstoppable pace, doesn't concern itself too much with character or subplot development. Saldanha never allows us to feel personal about Blu or his limitations. There's hardly ever a trace of discontentment or alienation in his body language. And because there is no emotional attachment to him, one experiences no real joy in his triumph either.

Moreover, the screen is cramped with so many characters and the constantly popping humour, there's already too much to keep up with. Luckily, even at its gimmicky best, Rio is entertaining enough to forgive its refusal to soar any higher.

Dhoni's Super Kings All Fired Up To Face Gambhir's Knights

Chennai: It will be a classic case of 'friends turning into foes' when Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) clash with Gautam Gambhir led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the opening match of the IPL tomorrow, less than a week after the duo guided India to their historic World Cup triumph in Mumbai.

As the cash-rich Twenty20 cricketing extravaganza gets underway at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, it will be the beginning of new era sans Lalit Modi, who was the face of the event during the first three editions.

Also this will be the first time that the league will feature 10 teams with the inclusion of Pune Warriors and Kochi Tuskers Kerala.

It will be there for all to see how the BCCI organizes an event where Modi used to have a final say in every aspect. The former IPL commissioner and vice-president of BCCI has since then been suspended and now has taken refuge in London after the cricket board pressed numerous charges of corruption against him.

After a hugely successful Players' Auction which saw some of the young Indian players commanding astronomical prices, the Chirayu Amin-led IPL governing council will now look to capitalize on India's World Cup triumph which has definitely upped the stakes by manifold.

Coming back to tournament, defending champions CSK will certainly start as the overwhelming favourites against a team that hasn't been able to cash in on its enormous fan following across India, thanks to its principal owner Shah Rukh Khan.

After having failed to make it to the semi-finals during the last three editions, the KKR management led by SRK and co-owner Jay Mehta have gone for a revamped side with Gautam Gambhir at the helm and T20 specialist Yusuf Pathan as one of the marquee players.

With Kolkata's favorite son Sourav Ganguly no longer a part of the team, it will be a big challenge for Gambhir and his boys to start winning and get the cricket crazy Kolkatans rooting for them.

The bigger challenge will be to get past CSK who have inarguably been the most consistent team during the last three editions with one championship, one runners-up and a last four finish. The biggest strength for CSK has been their ability to retain the most of their core players save Muttiah Muralitharan who will don the Kochi jersey.

Hollywood's Hottest Girls

Not young women, not interesting actresses -- we're talking hot girls, and while they may be more than just scorching bodies, that's the important part to get on this list.
Here then is a look at some truly sizzling women who haven't even hit 25 yet:

Scarlett Johansson, 24

The most famous name on the list is a woman Hollywood, Woody Allen or any tabloid in America can't quite get enough of. The refreshing, perky, magnificently shaped Ms Johansson is a true pin-up icon, one destined to be the subject of many dreams.

Megan Fox

Okay, so this girl tops all the 'sexiest' lists. Sure she can't act, and it's a bit unnerving that she's already had implants put in, but all that kind of fades into oblivion whenever we see her photo-shoots.

Evan Rachel Wood

After stunning us in Beatles tribute film Across The Universe, Evan is all set to act in the biggest musical in Broadway history: Spider-Man. It's a hallelujah moment for all comic book-geeks, because finally we'll have an appropriately hawt Mary Jane.

Kristen Stewart

She may be just a teenager, but she already has an enviable resume at the box office. Kristen Stewart has been in movies like Panic Room, Into The Wild and, most recently, starred as Bella Swan in Twilight -- must really be hard for a vampire to not bite her.

Emma Watson

Best known for playing Hermione in the Harry Potter movie adaptations, Watson's blossomed into a delightful actress, attractive enough to have thousands of young men blogging about her everyday.

Lindsay Lohan

The skinnier Lohan might not be the cheerleadery-wholesome picture of pure sexiness that she was a couple of years ago, but pour that body into a pair of tight jeans and you have everyone staring. Everyone.

Keeley Hazell

Increasingly Britain's hottest woman -- she seems to get more scorching by the day -- the fantabulously-endowed Hazell could thaw many an iceberg. Truly a body that could launch a thousand ships.

Katy Perry

Rising to fame with a single called I Kissed A Girl, Perry is a buxom singer with a immensely fun attitude, something that appeals more than her bright scarlet lipstick. Well, almost.

Avril Lavigne

Think Lavigne and you think bright punky pink hair, but the girl can sure fill out a pair of shorts real good and there's something undeniably enticing about her unique bubblegum-sexiness.

Bar Refaili

Best known for her romance with Leonardo DiCaprio, the striking Israeli model is well worth all the newsprint one can spare. She has a body to kill for, the kind that bikinis feel lucky to hang from.

Hollywood's Sizzling Summer Bodies

In upcoming 2011 Hollywood film, Just Go With It, swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker and actress Jennifer Aniston share the spotlight. They're sharing the spotlight in real life, too!

According to Women's Health magazine, 23-year-old Decker has the world's 'Best Summer Body', while the 41-year-old former Friends star places number 9 on the 'Best Summer Bodies' list.

Other female celebs to make the top 10 include Jessica Alba, Ashley Greene, Vanessa Hudgens, Carrie Underwood, Jessica Biel, Katy Perry, Lauren Conrad and Kim Kardashian.

'All of this year's finalists have a deep commitment to working out, staying fit and eating smart,' US magazine quoted David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men's Health and editorial director of Women's Health as saying.

'They have a variety of workout regimes from Pilates and yoga to boxing and weight training, kayaking and hiking to training for marathons. They've worked hard to achieve and maintain their amazing bodies,' he added.

Without further ado, we review the top-10 slammin' summer bods!

Brooklyn Decker

This small-town Midwestern girl rocketed to fame in 2007, when she first appeared Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit edition. By 2010, she'd become the face of the cherished swimsuit edition, gracing its cover.

Earlier this year, readers of Esquire magazine online voted her the 'Sexiest Woman Alive'. Now, she's preparing to make her film debut in the aforementioned Just Go With It.

Sorry, fellas. Decker is happily married to fellow American and top tennis star Andy Roddick.

Best 5 Holiday Movies In 2011You Don’t Want To Miss

2011 has been a disappointing year so far for Hollywood with box office duds like "Red Riding Hood" and "From Prada to Nada". Yet, there's much to be anticipative of. Here are a few movies you'd surely want to wait for.

Beginners:

Beginners is a beautifully quirky film about how a man handles a bundle of shocking news (his elderly father announces that he has terminal cancer and that he's gay) while he tries to clutch on to a relationship. Evan McGreggor stars as the lead in this delightful journey about understanding, accepting and appreciating life.

Henry's Crime

If you've watched "Double Jeopardy", you know the US law, also applicable in India that forbids a person from being convicted of the same offense again. This loophole in the legal system is used by ex-con Henry (Keanu Reeves) in planning to rob the same bank he has falsely been convicted of robbing. Pickled along with this, is Henry's love story with a cynical woman called Julie (Vera Farmiga) who eventually becomes his partner in crime. Reeves hasn't been tremendously successful in comedies since "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey", yet this one seems promising.

Take Me Home Tonight

From the goofy Eric Forman in "That '70s Show" to the sinister Venom in "Spiderman 3", Topher Grace has come a long way. This re-creation of a regular 80's high school rom-com finds him doing what celluloid teens over decades have done, to impress the one they love: lie and pretend to be rich. Though predictable, the film has a heart-warming innocence which will surely keep the box office cash register ringing.

Take Me Home Tonight Official HD

Limitless

This one subscribes to the perfect Hollywood formula. A man consumes a top-secret drug that extends supernatural abilities. But since Hollywood breeds on excess, every blessing becomes a curse and his special powers become a threat to his life. Bradley Cooper plays the lead in this action-packed thriller that also stars Robert De Niro. Whether the film's success will be limited or not is yet to be told but it's sure to keep you at the edge of your seat.

Limitless Official HD

The Hangover Part 2

Every immensely successful film has to be remade, copied or at best, continued with a sequel. So, Hangover Part 2 borrows the best parts from its prequel and multiplies the madness by 100. This time around the band of drunken boys head to Bangkok for a wedding they would never forget or not. A series of singular events follow in the morning after a night of heavy intoxication. Alan (Zach Galifianakis) finds his head has been shaved, Stu (Ed Helms) has a permanent tattoo on his face and yes one of them is missing. Cheers to that!

Hockey: Halappa To Lead India In Azlan Shah; Sandeep, Sardara Ignored

Veteran forward Arjun Halappa has been appointed captain of the Indian team for next month's Sultan Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament in Malaysia even as drag-flicker Sandeep Singh and Sardara Singh failed to find a place in the list of 45 probable.

The 30-year-old Halappa will replace Rajpal Singh, who led India in last year's World Cup, the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games.

"The selectors have decided to name Arjun Halappa as the captain of the Indian team for the Azlan Shah Cup. Arjun is a senior player and commands the respect of his teammates," Hockey India secretary general Narinder Batra told PTI.

On the conclusion of the first phase of the training camp at Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here, HI [hockey India] conducted the selection trials on April 4 and 5 to shortlist the probable for the championship to be played from May 5 to 15 at Ipoh.

The HI secretary general also said that Sandeep and Sardara were ignored for the tournament as they failed to report for the national camp that started on March 15 here because they were busy playing in the Belgium League.

"They (Sandeep and Sardara) were not considered because they did not report to the national camp. Before leaving for Belgium, they just informed us in telephone but did not give anything in writing," Batra said.

"But still we expected them to come in time for the camp which they didn't. It calls for disciplinary action against them," he added. The national federation was also upset with the duo as they did not take NOC from it before taking up the foreign assignment.

The HI has also formed a three-member disciplinary committee under Pargat Singh to investigate into the matter. Apart from Pargat, the other members of the disciplinary committee includes government observer Harbinder Singh and member of Hi coaching and development committee R K Srivastava.

HI selectors Col Balbir Singh, B P Govinda, Syed Ali, Thoiba Singh and A B Subbaiah besides government observers Harbinder and Dilip Tirkey selected the 45 probable for the Azlan Shah Cup. The final trials to choose the 18-member team for the tournament will be held on April 18-19 here. India have won the prestigious tournament five times earlier. They were declared joint winners with South Korea last year when the final was abandoned due to rain.

The seven-nation tournament will feature world champions Australia, Great Britain, South Korea, New Zealand, Pakistan, India and hosts Malaysia.

India will play their first match against South Korea on the opening day.
