Where we all call 'Home' ...

Hello ...
Few days back ... on recommendation from some of my friends ...
I downloaded and watched a documentary called 'Home' ...
And I tell you ... it was awesome ... it totally blew my mind ...
Home by Yann Arthus-Bertrand is a beautifully shot panorama ...
Planet Earth and the damage done to it by modern humanity ...
The film has breathtaking aerial footage from 54 countries ...
Showing the pure beauty of our planet with amazing facts ...
Glenn Close narrates the journey with very good original music ...
We are shown the history of Earth how everything came about ...
And how everything is interconnected and balance maintained ...
It shows us how we ... as the dominant species on this planet ...
Has been brutally drilling in to our natural resources ...
Without a thought about sustainability or future consequences ...
It shows how far the ripples of our industrial decisions go ...
It also shows us ... towards the end of the film ...
That there are cities ... regions and nations ... that have ...
Made some forward thinking investments in to the future ...
And how ... we too can be responsible towards our only home ...
I highly recommend this film to anyone and everyone ...
Who has ever had a thought about our planet ... our earth ...
Watch this documentary ... and be blown away ...

Transform this ... transform that ...

Hello ...
I was in KL a few days back ...
I had the chance to watch Transformers 2 on big screen ...
I was all excited waiting in line for an hour to get tickets ...
But it seems my excitement was short lived ...
The moment the movie began ... after 20 mins of ads ...
It went downhill from that point onwards ...
Let me tell you ...I really liked the first Transformers movie ...
But this Revenge of the Fallen could not have sucked more ...
The story with Sam brain sync'd with an alien map ...
Too many robots and machines introduced in too little time ...
Stuff blowing up for no apparent reason as if it just had to ...
About 30 mins into the movie ... I was confused ...
I didn't know which was which ... or who was fighting who ...
Who was good and who was evil ... just metal against metal ...
Megan Fox was there ... she was hot ... enough said ...
Sam saves the day with the sand in his socks ... awesome !!!
The whole movie was like one big explosion ...
They say they could stay hidden in plain sight ...
They should have stayed that way ...
Gonna have to watch this movie a few times to make sense ...
If you like Michael Bay and his bad ass movies ...
You'll love this ... if not ... welcome to the club ...
Food for thought ... all the cars in the movie was from GM ...
And GM went bankrupt long before this movie came out ...
Yes ... I know I'm gonna get flamed by the fanboys ...

Enjoy .mkv movies in HD glory ...

Hello ...
With several High-Def movies now available for download ...
I've been try to figure out a way ...
To watch these movies on my 37" Philips TV ...
The problem I was facing was with the file formats ...
As you may know ... most HD movies come as .mkv files ...
And most of the Multi Media players sold today ...
Do not support this format ... not even with latest firmwares ...
So the best and easiest way to play these movies on my TV ...
Was to connect a computer to my TV and fire up VLC ...
However ... connecting a computer to my TV ...
Just to watch HD movies ...was a bit of an overkill for me ...
And so the research began ... to solve this problem ...
My answer came from Western digital ... a reputable company ...
I've been using their products for several years ...
And they've never failed on me ... they've earned my trust ...
They've recently released their Multi Media Player ...
It's called WD TV Live ... and reviews were sprouting up all good ...
It was small ... good design ... sturdy build ...
It handles a whole lot of audio and video formats ...
The best part was it played .mkv files ... at 1080p resolution ...
It was available in a few shops in Male' ... I couldn't wait ...
I sold the Abigs divX player from Sarotech ...
Ran out and bought WD TV Li... cheapest was at Formax shop ...
Installation was simple ... power and HDMI cables only ...
Picture quality is good ... I mean really very good ...
User interface is nice ... and the unit is silent in operation ...
WD TVs have become very popular now ... no surprises there ...
And as with all other products that become popular ...
WD TVs are being hacked and modded for extra functionality ...

I wish I'll not regret my decision to by this gadget ...
May be I never will .. eh ... ???  ;)
