Am falling in love with Opera … again !!!
Hello …
I’m falling in love with Opera, no … not Oprah … hehe …
I’m talking about my favorite browser … Opera …
I have it on my Mac at home, my windows box at work …
And I also had OperaMini installed on my phone …
But I never really started using OperaMini until recently …
I was thinking what would I do with it on my phone … ???
I started trying out OperaMini on one of my commutes …
And I tell you … don’t underestimate this little beast …
I’ve learnt that OperaMini can do lot more that I first thought …
The feel, speed and functionality are just awesome …
History and bookmarks management is a breeze …
Say like … I can read any website … check out mvblogs … …
I can administer and moderate my own blog …
I can read bloglines … and pull my email and RSS feeds …
I can do stuff on facebook … even upload pictures …
OperaMini is like the best thing on my phone now … hehe ..
Opera is probably the best browser on the planet … hehe …
Try it out … you’d like it … am sure you won’t regret it …
Laterx …
PS :: Kudos to Primary0 for intro’ing it to me …

Girls … your 10th coffee is free at Shellbeans !?!
Hello …
Went to Shellbeans yesterday for breakfast …
Met a friend there who was carrying a coffee card …
I asked how it worked … and this is what I was told …
You buy a coffee and they give you a coffee card …
The coffee card has 9 beans printed on it …
And every time you buy a coffee and present the card …
They punch a heart shape hole through the bean …
And when all the 9 beans have been punched through …
Your 10th coffee is free … that is kewl … right … ?
I think this is a great idea … for getting customers back …
I remember Nasandhura had this sometime earlier …
It was kinda popular there then … it was crazy … hehe …
I say in Shellbeans the program is aimed at girls because …
The card is pinkish in color and girlish in design …
And yes … they punch heart shaped holes in it … hehe …
I’m not sure a guy would be much thrilled to carry it around …
So go on … have a cup of coffee in Shellbeans …
And before you know it … you might get a free one …
I’m guessing I’ll enjoy those free coffees … how about you … ?

Bionic Woman is coming to the telly again … kewl …
Hello …
Remember Bionic Woman and Six Million Dollar Man … ???
Bionic Woman is about a Jamie Sommers …
A tennis pro ... who suffers a near-fatal skydiving accident …
Then her body is transformed …
With $50 million worth of bionic wizardry … kewl eh … ???
Well … I do remember the show … vaguely ...
I remember I liked it a lot when I was a kid …
So its kinda good news they are bringing it back …
I remember those Friday mornings in front of the telly …
Waiting impatiently for the parts …
Where they would use their special abilities …
I even remember the sound they played …
When certain abilities are being used …
It was so kewl then … so I guess it’ll much better now …
So I’ve a feeling I’m gonna enjoy this new show …
Can’t wait for Bionic Woman to kick some serious ass … hehe …
Also Michelle Ryan as Bionic Woman is kinda hot too… hehe …
Laterx …
PS :: youtube has some kewl videos of the new show …

Saw Spiderman 3 last night … it ROCKED !!!
Hello …
Saw Spiderman 3 last night, and I tell you ... it rocked …
It was better than the last two Spiderman movies …
The action sequences were utterly spectacular …
I’m gonna share my thoughts about the movie here …
So in here goes the standard spoiler alert bit …
Good points …
- The cast was good except for Kirsten Dunst …
- The story was ok … but a little crammed …
- The fight scenes were great … obviously …
- Gwen Stacy is like really hot … damn … !!!
- The CGI was kewl … especially Sandman …
- Venom was like great … very badass …
- Spiderman has finally mastered his abilities …
- The dark Spiderman was the best … liked him …
Bad points …
- I just don’t like Kirsten Dunst in this movie …
- Peter and MJ just don’t look good together anymore …
- MJ’s character is weak … always damsel in distress …
- More villains than one movie can properly handle …
- Sandman was very peripheral to the movie …
- Venom didn’t get enough screen time …
All in all it was a good movie … really enjoyed it …
Wish I could see it in IMAX … that would’ve been nice …
Laterx …

I hate those small “Snap Preview” windows …
Hello …
I’ve been spending time online these days …
And there is this thing that’s driving me mad …
Its “Snap Preview” … those little irritating windows …
Here is what happens … I’m reading a website or a blog …
My mouse hovers over a link …and suddenly without notice …
A window pops up showing a small preview of that site …
Its like pop-up windows all over again … sheesh !!!
I don’t understand why anybody would wanna see these …
The preview is too small to be useful … its pointless …
The texts are too small … you cant read anything on it …
The images are too small … you can’t tell what they are …
So I wonder what might be the use of these windows … ?
I find them windows annoying and obtrusive …
They cover the content I’m reading …
And I’ve to move my mouse away to continue reading …
Somebody please tell me how to stop these pop-ups …
And if you are using this on your websites or blogs …
Let me tell you something … “Snap Preview” is just wrong …
Do the world a favor … and turn it off … like now …
You are not doing anybody any good by using them …
If anything … you are actually hindering your readers …
Laterx …
