Funny Videos Part 4

Here is another tech video : She's An Engineer, soft song

Could not grasp entire lyrics but here is some part of first para.

Ah the way I'm feeling now we could lick the world
cause you know I'm always dreaming about you girl
I've been testing out your structure and found it sound
Been installing all our circuits on solid ground
Ah the way I'm feeling now we could take it on
Turn it in our favor and get it on
Generating answers and getting speed
You've got to run it with the fun of it and take it cause
She's an engineer
We don't have much to fear
Ghost in the computer
Ghost goes in sie puter

Online TV : Reality for Indians

I recently moved to Noida for my new job and missing watching TV, especially Zee Marathi SA-RE-GA-MA-PA. And then very unthinkable happened : Shootout in the heart of mumbai - my beloved city. It was really hard to think whats going on in Mumbai, sitting in air-conditioned office in Noida. I could watch those boring and ever-repeating clips of news channel videos online but these are only dramatic and not informative at all. Then I thought what if I could watch TV online where I can get whole feel of whats happening, and yes by doing little bit of googling I managed to find out lot of channel which are available online. I could watch My favorite TV serial (one-and-only-one) online. Not only that I could see live news channel. Go to : http://www.ibollytv.com/iTV.php. Lot of regional channels are covered there. Internet connection speed required for these feed depends on the quality but 512 Kbps (that's around 64 KBps download speed) is sufficient for it. Sad thing is that, in India wireless internet is still hanging around 144 Kbps boundary so you can not avail this facility on move. On broadband front though thing look OK now, lot of ISP now provide 2 Mbps speed so things

One thing I want say is Thanks and I really appreciate to this to CNN-IBN. CNN-IBN (Leading news channel in India) has official free live feed. That's what you call free press. In events like Mumbai shootout this could really save your and your families day. Thanks once gain : Rajdeep Sardesai.

My New Laptop - Acer 2920

Hi, weeks before I bought new laptop for me Acer 2920. Earlier I had blogged about my journey with linux earlier. Linux was mandatory criteria for my laptop. So i had experimented a lot with different laptop reviewed them on internet. My brother's Laptop : Sony VAIO CR12GB/H had responded well to linux call ... it was so good that my brother is now linux convert uses Ubuntu prefarably (See snapshot Below).


Other criteria being : Windows XP. I feel Vista is a big flop specially for countries like india where hardware here is atleast 6-7 months behind latest technology. In very first post on this blog I mentioned my disappointment in following words

"And last thing i want to say about VISTA is that its fooling people around. It takes seconds to load dekstop and pretend ready for action but reality is different. It take much more time to get all networking started and then i can start my browser. With linux it takes time to login but I know when its now ready - ready for anything file explorer, browser and mp3. "



But the market here in India is not that good. You don't get Windows XP laptop with good hardware these days. So I had to go cost mode .. laptops which are targeted as utility laptops : I settled for Lenovo and then i saw this beauty in Vijay Sales Thane Shop. Sales Guy was really friendly and allowed to boot the laptop with ubuntu live CD. It passed the test. Acer 2920 is the smallest laptop around with no compromise on hardware or any necessary features. It comes with driver CD for both Vista and XP which is not common in latest laptops which restrict you to vista only.






so if you are looking for good utility laptop : Acer is good brand and certainly best one for linux laptop. I recommend Sony also : Sony is also good value for money. Sony laptops have good sound quality : loud and clear, clear crisp bright display. VAIO CR series certainly suited for the most.
