God of War III

Loved playing the previous version on my PS2 back in India. But will I buy PS3 for this? I don't know. But it's WOW for sure!

Lost another electronic because of the infamous 'got pulled in a hurry' incident

I lost my mouse and car audio cassette adapter because the cord got stretched! It's so painful when that happens. While I often fiddle around and get some electronics working, it's impossible to repair these things when the cord is pulled away in a hurry! Need a new wireless mouse, any suggestions?

Jackass Youtube vBlog

I came across this vBlog while searching for funny videos on the financial crisis. What is it that inspires people to start such vBlogs? A huge audience who would love to see her I'm sure but there should be at least 'a little' sense to it!


Have you come across such idiots too on Youtube?

Compact form-factor laptops - the new market

I bought a new Acer notebook a couple of months back when my Dell went dead. Getting my Dell laptop repaired was a painful experience (over 90 days and over thirty calls/e-mails..Believe me!) and I'm glad to have it back but I would surely highly recommend buying an Acer Aspire one if you are looking for a spare one. You can put it in the glovebox of your car, or simply carry it around for a meeting, taking notes in classes (as I use it often) or just getting some work done while waiting somewhere.

I will not say that these laptops are a real need considering that you can do most of it on your 3G cellphone or Blackberry. Although, with a full QWERTY keyboard, a webcam, Windows XP (in case of the Acer Aspire one) and if you install MS office on it this works as a full-fledged laptop which could be handy.

I bought mine at $360 from Amazon.com. No idea what the rates are now. My main purpose was to have a spare laptop in case my Dell dies. Right now, I use it for some small-time work. And what I love the most about it is that it has Windows XP - which is an upgrade! Yes, from the Vista I use on my Dell!

Anywho, Sony seems to have entered this market as well but (as usual) with a high-priced luxury laptop for the style-conscious. I would definitely not recommend it because it's just not worth it - unless you have that extra change in the pocket and are satisfied with your charity quota for the year - go ahead and splurge. It surely looks delicious! I don't know why I used that word but does it remind you of ice-cream bars? I like configuration too because it has a 2 GB RAM compared to the Acer Aspire Ones. Although, is it worth it for such a tiny screen? I guess not. Check out the Sony laptops here

PS: Here's another better link to see the pictures of the Acer laptop. Mine's black though, like this one (without the 6-cell battery).

Moving to another place

This weekend is going to be tough. After around 3 months of playing around with the idea of moving into a studio, I finally will this weekend! Excited about the whole refrigerator I will have by myself :-D. Here's to my craze for videos these days!!!!

What do you wish by the end of today?

Obvious questions often don't cross our minds. This short-movie production crew asked the question to people on the street. While the movie doesn't hold any message, there's something about the way they have made it - the background score, the colors, the voices and the way it flows.




So what would you want at the end of the day.

I'm either too lazy to type or I just don't get any profound thought to really scribble about on this blog. I guess it's just videos these days for the blog. Currently, I'm supposed to be working on a case-study but Hulu's kinda addictive and so is Youtube!

Simpsons - Facebook Reference

Watched a new episode of Season 20 after a long time on Hulu.com. It's interesting how references to current trends and issues can tell so much about this time.
