Hi all

It s becoming my routine to tell a story about me getting late for updating my blog. So I ll leave as such this time. This post, we ll take a look at the new version of iPhone and latest iPhone Killers.

iPhone 3G

(Click on the images to enlarge)

Apple had created a buzz and a revolution when it released the iPhone first version earlier., though the phone had many glitches like no 3G, GPS, Bluetooth, Camera defects, etc.

The buzz is not any less when it released the next version with features such as 3G, GPS with loaded maps, Support of Microsoft Exchange, Visual Voicemail, the fastest browser Safari, Wifi enabled, built in Google and Yahoo search, 3.5″ display to view videos, added applications, view of Youtube videos made easy, slightly light weight compared to older version. The new iPhone features are marked in bold above. Not here that Bluetooth is still not made available. The top pick of the new version is that, the 8GB version would cost 199$ and 16Gb version would cost 299$. But I am afraid that is a special price given for operator AT&T which releases the Apple iPhone worldwide.

In India, Airtel and Vodafone have started marketing and asking users to book the iPhone (http://www.airtel.in/iphone3g), but I am afraid it would be much more than the (Rs. 8000 - 199$) tag expected. Even I have booked the phone in Airtel, and I cant wait much long to see the features which are supported in India and its price tag in India.

Samsung Omnia

Samsung has released Omnia, its reply to the iPhone 3G, with loads of features as equal as the iPhone, Omnia also features a 5Mp Camera. Needless to say the phone would cost us dearly.

The phone has a 3.2″ display and have good video and audio playback capabilities. Visit http://omnia.samsungmobile.com/ for more. The pricing is not announced yet and the phone will be available in Europe in July.

Nokia Tube

There has been rumours or hot news from symbian-freak.com that Nokia is going to release its version of iPhone killer. The Nokia Tube. The Tube is expected to have a 16M TFT display with 360 x 640 pixels resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. The size of the display will be somewhere between 3 and 3.5-inches. The display will offer a tactile feedback but sadly, won’t have multi touch function like the iPhone. No other details are available about the phone.

Well, that s it for now. Catch you in next post, hopefully….. Sooon…..

Hi all

Long since an idea has been pestering me to write an article on this.  I could not find much time to update the blog..

India - China - US.

We see both countries India and China, galloping each other in the race for the future super power after US. Now though US manintains its dominance over the world, US depends on China and India on a large scale., be it for minute toys, automobiles, food items, software industry, the backbone of every other industry (coz of its well versed e-governence), spirituality , medical toursim, etc. One of the strategy of US to maintain its control over the world is to develop the techno-nano-blah balh weapons and make the world to see it with an AW!! like when we see the 007 films. They also make a huge amount

http://www.globalissues.org/Geopolitics/ArmsTrade/Spending.asp

The above link gives a sample that the military expenditure around the world. Around 46% of the world military expenditure is by US and 80% of the expenditure rise is due to 2006. Now though the figures are for 2006, I hope the situation might have been worse now for the Iraq war and its under hand help to Pak.

The US - Pak - India - China relation is really a twist and tangle,

• US gives arms for Pak to eliminate and fight with terrorists
• Pak rather gives the arms to terrorsits and militants to fight with India
• US advises Pak to support them to find Osama
• US avises Pak to support India’s fight against militants
• Pak plays a double game with militants and US
• US makes a statement that Osama is in Pak
• US prez Bush supports outgoing prez Mush over issues now

Finally whoever wins, India is affected.

• India uses its military might and fights hard to develop a missile or advance a missile technology.
• The next day, Pak releases a new missile… Now this becomes tricky.
• There is rumour that China has sold the missile to Pak.
• US doesn’t like the growth of China over it.  It needs support of India to tacke China.
• Hence, US strateggically makes the 123 agreement with India, making India to fall in a spider web.
• Due to the agreement, India acheived nothing till date., the agreement has not shown promise, India spoiled its relation with Iran, Russia.
• US gained by making India to vote against Iran in the UNO and making India a partner to fight against China.

See now what s the point, who are the allies and who are the wolves…

Hello World,

By chance, today I got an audio footage containing Swami Vivekanandha’s speech on spirituality.

I am not a  eligible person to rate the speech but, it was like a treat hearing to the speech. You would not really know how the 30 minute speech made me stick to the seat. Initially it may bore for you., if you are interested kindly give your heart to the speech and listen.

 I hereby share a link containing the audio.

Feel the difference.

Back to the design posts…

I was really amazed when I saw the design of the proposed Songjiang Hotel in China. World construction major ATKINS has won the bid for constructing this hotel.

The hotel is to be constructed on a 100 meter deep quarry. The hotel boasts of 400 beds with conference room , club facilities, sports and even adventure sports.  The design engineers say that the design makes the hotel unaffected by any climate and weather calamities.

Though the design looks like the construction may takes tens of years to complete., the design is to be complete by 2009 end.

A tit bit finally. Wanna be a tiger rider ?

Interesting, isn’t it?

Trully it was a exhillirating video, the Initial promotional video of IPL. With the controversies happened in the Series Down Under, the IPL video spot lighted on the sensational feelings of the people’s minds. I personally liked the final clips where Dhoni smashes the stumps for a run out and Hayden or Gilchrist (I am not sure) gets bowled over by a yorker. It would be interested to see how the ICL takes this competition on.

Some IPL facts you would need to know..

• The Title sponsor is bagged by DLF (The Real estate giants) for Rs. 125 Crore and ofcourse it is for a span of 5 years. Pepsi was a close contestant.
• The TV rights for 10 years of IPL coverage is bagged by Sony group and Singapore-based World Sports Group (WSG) for $1 Billion, which includes promotions for the event also.
• Having the latest bid info on Feb21, the total bidding for all players accounted for 161 Crore rupees.
• Now we see, hell a lot of money being invloved here, though Mr. Laltit Modi, Chairman of IPL says it is a win win situation for all, I leave it to BS to take this issue on for a detailed analysis and info that you would have been wondering till now, “How the team owners get such an amount of  invested money back”.,  http://www.business-standard.com/common/news_article.php?leftnm=10&bKeyFlag=BO&autono=314593.

Karmayudh starts on April 18. 17 Days to go…

Hello all,

An idea of building a dream home has been popping into my Mind, right from my school days, when I used to draw my simple architectural drawings as to where does what goes. Ofcourse just when I finished my idea, my Mom would pop out saying that doesn’t go well with vasthu stuff.

Various situations have now led me to hate the vasthu and hororscope stuff than ever recently.  A few months ago, my dream home plan started kicking off with all set. But now it s a bit postponed., due to various happenings of beliefs of Mom and Dad I couldn’t refuse. After all, with only they being happy I can build a Dream Home, else I can build just a house with bricks. So the plans is kicked off to atleast 1.5 to 2 years.

Now, to take everything in a postive sense, I am taking this oppurtunity to make the Dream Home the DREAM HOME. As I was always interested in interiors of the home., I surf through and get the knowledge, and read through, “Inside Outside”. I am gathering as much knowledge as could to make a good house. Now as a blog visitor you get that free..

When I started to search for this, I got up with a different article a “Washup” - Toilet and Washing Machine in one.. This may suit you if you are an eco friendly and space stringent persons.

Thats it for today..

Packing off. CK.

Peter Roebuck would not have thought even a whisker before he wrote about Him recently just before the famed CB triseries finals. He was quoting about need of Him to retire and concentrate in the family., rather than playing in international matches. And as Dhoni rightly quoted, “You must be careful when you criticize or evaluate Him, he can return to form in no time”.

Sachin’s Bat did the talk for Roebuck and the rest is history.

The quality of Him which made me and many others like the most is His humble nature, with childish smile, quietly passing through sorry paving a new way through in the religion of Cricket. He is a messiah. I wonder how I would bear the feelings after some years, when I would miss Him from International cricket. But I dont think, now there is a room for my feelings. There are enough years that He would play, making runs and records that a fresher of cricket would ever dream of making. Especially the total number of runs ( ODIs and Tests ), only God can beat that. A true inspiration to me.
