Aashayein Movie - A waste

I went for Aashayein with my MSP friends (why did I listen to them) and thought it could be a good watch with Nagesh Kukonnor reputation.





The movie started with Rahul (John Abraham) earning huge amount of money on cricket gambling. After that the movie is all negative.

Nafisa (Sonal Sehgal) is looking good but has too short an apperance. The movie revolves around death which started with Rahul getting know about Lung Cancer. Don’t know how Nagesh could write that pathetic script and unnecessarily figuring out vague imaginations and characters.

There is no emotional connect and the social message of smoking isn’t getting portrated at all. According to me, Aashayen tried matching up to ‘Anand’. Even the movie had couple of scenes from ‘Anand’.

Most Important, the popular song used in promos “Mera Jina hai Kya, Marna hai Kya” was missing from the movie. That was irrational and unexpected.

At the end, good acting, no script and poor scenes. A package that is far away from selling and a total Paisa waste. I don’t know if I am gonna kill Srishti (my MSP friend) for making me watch this disaster.

Apple May Use Heartbeat Analysis to Detect Unauthorized iPhone Users

Apple new patent application describes methods that may enable the iPhone and iPad to "sense" the user, detecting voice prints, faces, activity patterns and even heartbeats. If unauthorized use is detected, many security measures could be activated.

If the iOS device detects that the user is not authorized, it can start taking photos and sending them to an email account, along with GPS coordinates, keystroke logs, phone calls, and other activity. The owner would also be able to save any data remotely, and wipe out the device after that.

The patent application seems like a supercharged version of the Find My iPhone feature now available in MobileMe, coupled with new hardware and software features. While these patents may never get their way into real products, it makes sense for Apple to increase the security, especially for their increasing number of corporate clients.

Microsoft Boot Camp - GOA

It was a pleasure to be part of Microsoft Boot Camp in GOA from 16-18 August, 2010. The trip started on 16th morning with me taking flight with other Microsoft Student Partners who were invited for the event.



The flight was complete fun, Thanks to Neetika for her all time masti. Infact I was wondering if flight stewart throws her out of plane. :P

Finally we arrived in GOA...I had one mantra in my mind "GO GOA!!!". It was luxury to have stayed in Neelam The Grand, Calangute.

Day one - Sessions, Meeting Microsoft Employees and Academia Team. It was learning as well as fun. On my way, I visited BITS Pilani GOA Campus, found it too good a place to study.



Though the agenda was tight for the event on Day two. I managed to hire bikes and went for drive with friends. It was amazing experience to drive in rain. Hardly slept.




Personally liked few sessions and MSP Annoncements. Day three was a mixed bag as we had to leave. But we managed to visit Aguda fort, Central Jail, some beaches without skipping the main agenda of the meet. Delhi User group was named best UG in India, a feat worth cheering!





In all, awesome and truely an expirence of lifetime. Made some new friends specially Vikas and Snigdha with whom I met for first time. Thanks Microsoft and fellow MSPs.

Nokia reveals its own MeeGo user interface for its future smartphones


We’ve seen what Nokia-Intel’s MeeGo OS for handsets looks like, a while back. Now, we’ve got a glimpse of how Nokia plans to use it on their handsets, in the below video. With its large and crisp fonts, we’re somehow reminded of the Metro UI of the Windows Phone 7 OS, though of course, that’s just the beginning. The one and half minute long video is very informative, showing us MeeGo’s multitasking prowess, going online, visiting the Ovi Store, and displaying the music player. Let us know what you think in the comments section...Will Nokia finally get a break in the smartphone market with MeeGo?

Windows Phone 7 Tech Preview Can't Connect to Hidden Networks...Do We Care?

"Evidently, Windows Phone 7 cannot see ergo connect to hidden wireless networks, the kind where you don't broadcast your SSID. Although not a lot of people go this extra step for security, we're sure a few of you do and in this case, it appears you are out of luck."




There are things that Windows Phone 7 will be lacking at launch that will matter to many people, matter to some people, or matter to virtually no one. The lack of copy and paste? That will impact a lot of people. Not being able to connect to a hidden WiFi network? I'm leaning toward the "no one" category, but you tell me: would this present a problem for you? Is your WiFi network hidden via an SSID no-broadcast setting? I've never set up my WiFi that way because security through obscurity is rarely an effective barrier - if someone's sniffing for WiFi networks, they'll be using tools that will ID your "hidden" network - so what's the point?
