Pissed by the sweltering heat, I started looking out for some good room coolers and look what I found over at mouth shut, none other than apna Adobe has launched room air coolers under the brand Adobe Air. Now, that ought to give the Air platform a visibility right down to the rickshaw wala and scooter mechanic as well, Adobe is really going to make India their hub now :P

Call The Internet!!!!!!!

Just saw this on a show called “Attack of the Show” on G4 TV and just had to blog about it. Apparantely, there is this site that has opened just 3 days ago and what is it called? Its called “Call The Internet“.
What does it do? What is its purpose? Those are the questions that arise when one goes to the page because of their unique and *intricate* design of the website. Just go there and see it first before I proceed further. I’ll just while away some time.
LALALALALALALALALA *Whiling away some time* LALALALALALALA…
LALALALALALALALALA *U done yet? No? Still Whiling away some time*LALALALALA….
LALALALALALALALALA *Ok, so u r back*. Lets stop the *whiling away some time* and move further….

So, now that you are confused as to where this is heading (and are probably deranged or maybe even frustrated enough to strangle me for having wasted your time). Now what they do is still not completely understood by me but one of their *wide array* of services is that you can “call up the internet”. HUH? That was quite brilliant of me…well, the concept is that if you don’t “have” the internet, or a computer, you can just call up Mr. Internet and ask the guy himself “Wuzzup”. Like you can call up the number given and give them an address and ask em to explain to you what that site looks like, or maybe summarize the content for you, and so on. You do the math (even if there is no math involved here)..

Incredible, isn’t it?? ;)

well guys, u must have been wondering where I disappeared after coming back to the blogging scene after so many days. Well, I’ve gotta a confession to make. One of my old loves is back. Yes, here in the US. And in so many forms. Yupz am talking abt games. My sweet darlings. Just can tell you how ecstatic I feel while holding that flak cannon in my hands in UT2004. It feels like roses are being showered all around me as I shred up my opponents in a crammed up online room. And the high that I get when tony Hawk himself salutes me after I pull off a 1080 in THUG2. And neways, vin diesel can never even come close to the drifts that I do in NFSUG2. Mr. Gordon Freeman (of HL and HL2 fame) is awaiting his turn right now cuz the rest of my time is prettty tied up with his highness himself, yeah a prince, the “Prince of Persia”. So, please forgive me for not writing more often cuz as soon as I try to write, the games just take control of my fingers and they just want me to do the tango on the keyboard and mosue rather than doing a military march of typing. Neways, now that the initial euphoria of the heavenly reunion is over, I guess I can now settle down and write more often. So, u can expect me to be a bit more regular. :D

And for being so patient, heres a gift. Stealth bomber caught on google maps. Zoom a little to locate it.
