Nikon D90_Front

The D90 has some very cool features:

• Movies (there are called D-movies,  I guess the D is for “DOPE!, how come we did not do it before)
• Rocking 3 Inch LCD with Live preview (yes Live preview on a top level DSLR)
• GPS tagging
• The usual 12.3 megapixels, 4.5 FPS, Low Noise, great interface and ergonomics that you see from Nikon

Estimated at 1,200 USD I am suspecting that it will not be the price that will hold off buyers, but availability.

A guy was seated next to a 10-year-old girl on an airplane. Being bored, he turned to the girl and said, “Let’s talk. I’ve heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”

The girl, who was reading a book, closed it slowly and said to the guy, “What would you like to talk about?”

Oh, I don’t know,” said the guy. “How about nuclear power?”

“OK,” she said. “That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat the same stuff… grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?”

The guy thought about it and said, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”

To which the girl replied, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don’t know s*h*i*t?”

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert

During some point of the Journey they had an Argument, and one friend

Slapped the other one In the face. The one who got slapped

was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis,

where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been

slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning,

but the friend saved him. After he recovered from

the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend

asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?”

The other friend replied “When someone hurts us

we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.

But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone

where no wind can ever erase it.”

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND

AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE!!!

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,

an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them,

but then an entire life to forget them.

Send this phrase to the people you’ll never forget.

If you don’t send it to anyone, it means you’re in a

hurry and that you’ve forgotten your friends.

Take the time to live!

Do not value the THINGS

you have in your life. But value WHO you have in your life!

Life’s short. If you don’t look around once in a while ,you might miss it.

Have a Nice Day …

Indians don’t do different things but they do things differently..!

An Indian walks into a New York city Bank and asks to see the loan officer. He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan, so the man hands over the keys of a new Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything is checked out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls Royce into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the man return, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, “We are very happy to have your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are little puzzled. while you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a Multimillionaire. What puzzled us is why would you bother to borrow just $5,000?”

The Indian repled,” Where else in New York can i park my car for two weeks for 15 bucks?”

A teacher in a mathematics lecture asks a 3rd std class,” If there are 3 birds on a tree and u shoot one of them, how many birds would remain??”.

Johnny, the naughtiest of the lot, shoots up his hand.

Teacher: “ok Johnny, wats the answer?”

Johnny: “none, ma’am.

Teacher: “how?”

Johnny:” after hearing the Shot, all the other birds will also fly away.”

Teacher:” no Johnny, the answer here is 2, but I like the way u r thinkin.

now Johnny has a doubt.
Johnny: “teacher can I ask u a question?

Teacher: “sure”
Johnny:” there are three ladies havin ice cream at the parlour. the
first one is eatin it, the second is lickin it while the third one is
suckin on it. can u tell which one of the ladies is married??”

Teacher is terribly embarrassed, but she puts on a brave face and Answered.

Teacher: “I….I……I guess the one which is suckin on the ice cream is married.”

Johnny:” no ma’am,the one who has the wedding ring on her finger is
married, BUT I LIKE THE WAY U R THINKING!!!!! 

Happy Valentine’s Day…
Rose for your girlfriend here…

Elephantware. That is what we are talking about. Bloated programs that make brand new PCs boot like Pentium 2s with 64 MBs of RAM.

This is software that causes your screen to freeze while it works, consumes enough system resources to display a reminder box letting you know there is a new, even bigger, version available for download. Software we’ve been forced to install so we can read some special document format, enjoy some DRM infected piece of media, or communicate with others who also live with the same brand of behemoth riding on their backs.

We all have it. We are all stuck with it. And, aside from a glimmer or two of hope, we can’t expect to escape their boot screens, quick launch icons, or update reminders anytime soon.

This is the worst of the worst.

1. Acrobat Reader

Adobe Acrobat Reader is like a stocky frat guy you never want to invite to your Halloween parties, because he’ll show up wearing a giant gift-wrapped box with a “To: Women, From: God” label on top. He thinks he is all that, but he really just wore a costume so big he can’t get through the front door and has to stay outside by the fire all night (true story!).

Back on topic though, Acrobat reader does one thing poorly — read PDFs. To do this it needs to download updates at least twice a month. Acrobat’s other big feature is the ability to bring your system to a roaring halt while it boots up its massive amount of plugins and libraries. All this to display (wait for it) — a page.

FoxIt Reader is a much better solution. Download it, and you’ll no longer cringe each time your accidentally click on a PDF link while browsing the internet.

2. iTunes

I CAN HAZ MANY HOURS OF IPOD SYNCING? KTHXBYE!

For the love of Apple, why is iTunes such a cow of an application? It is a media player! It should be light and the media should be heavy. Instead we have a bloated and increasingly complex application that takes so long to load, is so ugly, and takes up so much memory the only option is to not use it and pull up Pandora. And let’s not even talk about the painful process of syncing a new iPod using this pile of cowplop.

3. Real Player

Real Player could have been YouTube. Instead it is, well, Real Player. Like a pushy kid on your front lawn trying to sell you a magazine subscription, Real Player just doesn’t leave you alone. It is constantly trying to take over all the media on your hard drive, your web browser, and your MP3 Players. To make matters worse it continuously tries to upsell you on Rhapsody and SuperPass. Yeah, let’s just SuperPass on those options. Thanks.

You might try Real Alternative instead.

4. Internet Explorer

Yes, the great drunk-and-raving-at-family-Christmas-gatherings granddad of bad software. Will Microsoft ever fix this? Sure IE 7.0 is better than IE 6.0, but that is only in a “at least Mussolini made the trains run on time” sort of way. It is still evil. Can’t believe it? Ask any web developer to explain how many hours they’ve spent in the last month getting their site to work in IE and you’ll get the picture.

If you aren’t using FireFox, do.

5. Microsoft Outlook

Hello Microsoft! Please! It is nearly 2008! How is it possible GMail and Yahoo Mail are so much faster and so much more feature-rich than your flagship mail client? How is it, in the world of 500 spam messages a day, that Outlook becomes pitch-drip slow as soon as you have a couple thousand messages? How is it your business contact manager is always trying to do mysterious things, always failing to do them, and always complaining about it in the middle of startup? And how, oh please tell us how, can you justify a message search that scans a folder at the same speed we do?

Let’s face it, no matter how fast your processor, how big your hard drive, or how many Gigs of RAM you have — your PC will still never run like a gazelle. With junk like the aforementioned software cluttering up your C Drive from day one, you’ll always be stuck waddling along at Winnie-the-Pooh speeds. And if that is too fast for you, perhaps a downgrade to Vista is in order.

It is surprise to me again for this month to see my photo in the 10 selected beautiful photos in the issue of October in GLOBE Magazine. You can see, the title “Picture 8: National Assembly”, my photo on page 76-77. It is the photo of New National Assembly. Download the full magazine here. This time I got the 2nd winner.
