16 GB USB Stick

How would you like to have 16GB of Data in your pocket. No I did not mistype it.

It is a 16GB Memory Stick to be Introduced by Toshiba in Late December and available from their online stores.

That is 4 DVD's Worth of Movies :: Almost 5000 Songs ripped to MP3 format.

This is awesome. Happy ripping guys ...

So Now Alcohol is Good for Health uh !!!

Now wait don't rush to TASMAC !!!!

A Recent study by the Harvard Scientist has proved that people who take an average of two drinks everyday for 5 to 7 days week had the lowest risk of heart attack.

So now we have another reason to drink. I am sure it is just like other studies which seems to have proved you get cancer on the wrong place if you place your phone in your pant pockets.

Anyway's Drink Carefully and Don't Ever Drink and Drive.

What would a 11 Year Do with a Child !!!

The vatican has condemed doctors who performed an abortion on a 11 year old who was raped by her Step father.

The child needs to be playing with her toys and not nursing her child. Also what are the chances that she will give birth to an healthy child considering her age !!!

What does the setp-father get ??? A few years behind prision and maybe a reduced sentence and released on a day similar to Gandhi Jayanthi if they have one in Columbia.

Please dont think i am a Pro Abortionist but sometimes i feel the Vatican needs to consider other aspects before issuing statements that condemn certain doings. I feel the girl had no reason to carry and give birth to that child which may/may-not live.

A Presentation Worth Watching

A Presention by Dick Hardt. Watch it even if you don't know anything about Identity 2.0, you can use this somewhere.

Traffic Cops

This is a program on BBC One that is like a reality show which shows what new gadgets the traffic cops in UK are given and how they use it to nab offenders on road.

The latest in Gadgets is £5000 valued Automatic Number Plate Recognition System that allows a cop to read the Number Plate of a passing vehicle and quickly decide if the car has all the paper work.

Dandy stuff ... When is the Indian Police going to advance like this ?

After Coming to London i have fallen for Haagen-Dazs and i am eating it regularly thanks to a Multitude of stores in Amsterdam.

Unfortunately there is only one in London and we need to wait for a long time to get a Seat and i don't mind doing that. Have stood outside in freezing temperatures to eat this Ice-Cream.

What is there in this - Go and Taste it here if you are in London or International Locations.

This is Scary Indeed

Google recently announced that you can tell your Google Talk Buddies on what you'r listening to on your computer. I thought it was great until i saw this.

They collect information on what each user is playing and i am feeling not too good about it. Though i really need to appreciate the idea and give an Hats off for it.

So where is this all going .........

You, Me & Dupree

 I should say it was a funny movie, as i expected. Have been watching the trailers for this movie for quite sometime and i new it was going to be good and yes it was.

It is about a newly married couple inviting the Grooms Freind into their house and the havoc he creates. Everyone has done an excellent job and would recommend it if you are in for a few laughs after dinner.

Mac Book Pro

Mac Book Pro 17"

I am contemplating on getting this. I have two options.

I Purchase it in the US and Ask my Mom to get it for me and collect it when i go to India next. The Problem with this is with the hightended security my Mom does not like that idea (Have to agree to that)

Purchase it in Singapore when i go there next - But when am i going to go there Next !!!

Contemplating ........ Confused ............

Snakes on a Plane

SnakesOnPlanesAre we giving ideas to the Terrorists !!! The Movie was good, gripping and a few scenes which give you a jolt, good for the heart a bit of shock.

It is about a Witness being taken to LA from Miami and who is expected testify against a Ring Lord. The Ring Lord bribes people to put snakes on the plane and lets them loose. What continues is chaos. Samuel L. Jackson is the FBI Agent who is protecting the Witness and now all the passeners from the snakes.

What Have I Been Reading

Over the past weeks I have completed two books mainly on the flights - I went to Scotland last weekend and i will upload the photos shortly on to the blog - so long flights more reading time.

WD_PrimalFear

This is the first Time i am reading a Willam Diehl Book and i was completely awed. Excellent Book highly recommended. If you like John Grisham Kind of Novels you will like this too. I would say start at this if you have not read a Diehl before.

AH_DetectiveOkay i have to admit it shamefully that i have not read the Airport or the Hotel of this Great writer. The main reason was the size of these books that put me off in my early days of reading. This is the First book i read and it was absolutely gripping and as usual you learn a lot on how a PD works in the US of A.

I have to trudge along to the Library to see if i can get a Matthew Reilly, this was highly recommended by one of my colleagues and i am interested in reading it.

Okay the Master story teller - Frederick Forsyth - has released his next thriller "The Afghan". I am a big fan of FF and would love to read it. My Library is surely not going to have it so will have to wait till i get back to India to get a copy of this novel. I am not going to pay €17.99 to read this :)

the break-up

BreakUpNice movie. A Movie on what a relationship with the better half is all about and what is meant by co-existence. Would recommend it.

Jennifer Aniston has done an excellent job. Give it a shot before it ges off the movies.

Lady In The Water

lady_in_the_waterDUH !!!!

Why would anyone waste their Time/Money on this movie like me. Went to this movie a few weeks back. I was not able to sit through this.

Is this the same director who took Sixth Sense !!!

Every other movie by MNS is sort of not taking off. Will he have a chance for the next one ?

Nothing of the Usual Here.

How much can you know Somebody ?

I was talking to my friend for whom they are seeing an alliance.

Her parents are on the Lookout for the perfect match for her for the past 8 years (& counting) and they are not able to find one.

Reason :: They need somebody whom they know - But how much can you know somebody or what is the probability that there is a person out there whom you know and if that person was out there so long why did they not get him till now.

As one of my friend aptly put it - The Net as widened and legthned and we are using more than one ways to search for the Right Partner and the more the net widens/legthens the slimmer are the chances that you will know that other person.

I understand their concern when they say that the Girl is going into a new place and all but i need to come back and ask How much can you know somebody to gaurantee that he is THE person for you.

At one stage in your Life you need to take the Dive !!!

If there is a Telegu Brahamin Out there who is Over 34 and waiting to tie the Knot please send me an Email GANESH DOT RAJA AT GMAIL DOT COM
