Well you may call me mad but I am still running Vista Ultimate on one of my PC. If you ask me it's a good learning experience for me in the sense that I could now realize and understand how big companies can exaggerate and sell steel for the price of platinum.

After almost a year using VISTA and applying Service Pack 1 and other patches on my VISTA box, none of the so many previously mentioned bugs has been fixed. Windows Update can only offer retarded new sound themes (Pearl bla bla), Language packs or Dreamscene videos.

M$ has spent quite a lot of money on R&D but I seriously wonder where all this money goes to? I personally feel that Uncle Sam's Government together would Microsoft would have done a lot better if they would have spent the money in Africa and other poor developing countries. Atleast they would have done little useful.

After two years today I re-installed MSN Messenger on my PC (I wanted to give a shot to see how good the new MSN Live Messenger service is as it's been some time and I was hoping to see some improvements especially on the voice quality etc). But G, to my surprise and utter frustration I end up un-installing the crapola from my PC in less than 5 minutes.

Why?

I downloaded the automated web installer which scanned my PC for roughly 5-7 minutes searching for any other Windows LIVE products. Stupid moron windows installer, I want to install MSN Messenger, what is there to do with other live products?, can't you just pick up the path from registry or some friggin config file? Some times I really don't understand why M$ does not go for some feasibility testing

After buying out Trolltech, Nokia is now set to port QT to their new platform named "maemo" (Besides GTK +). I'd happily give away my IPhone (if i have one) for a phone based on such an open and extensible platform. Way to go Nokia, time to chew some apples.

Though Hobnox is not as comprehensive and feature rich as FL Studio is, but it's one of the best browser application I have seen that makes use of both Java+Flash and thus allows you to mix some acid trip tunes ...

If you have ever been to India and gotten any chance to watch the news on the private channels, chances are that you have already seen the most crappiest news production you could ever get. The quality of news production on most of these private run channels are like watching a movie with the crappiest news content you could see any where on the planet.

The following pictures are the screen grabs of India's STAR NEWS CHANNEL which aired the news when commissioner's dog went absconding. Instead watching these channels may be you should see something useful like seeing a grass grow.
