Aishwariya plans to join Twitter to connect with fans – Bollywood News

Bollywood actress Aishwariya Rai Bachchan plans to join the most famous social networking site Twitter to be in touch with her fans. She says she would like to launch her own website in near future.

Reporter: Aishwariya, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind or what’s the one thing that you really look out when you sign a brand. Say like Longines?

Aishwariya Rai Bachchan: With Longines, it was an easy yes. Incredible history and the brand definitely belong to the watch business and their motto is – ‘elegance is an attitude’. I absolutely saw eye to eye with them instantly. So it was an easy yes.

Reporter: Everyone seem to be talking about Paa. So, what’s your say on this role reversal plot?

Aishwariya Rai Bachchan: Well, I obviously knew about the idea of the film Paa. I think Balki was brilliant in coming out of the story so conceptually and creatively.

Reporter: Talking about social networking sites we find Amitabh Bachchan keeps in touch with his fans through his blogs. Also Abhishek is on Twitter and he has thousand of fans following him. So are we going to see you on Twitter?

Aishwariya Rai Bachchan: Possibly with my own website. Definitely when it comes to social networking sites there are so many imposters that people are convinced I am already on these social sites. I am not so far. On my birthday I was so tempted to get on to possibly Twitter, because of the kind of overwhelming response I have received from well-wishers. So one thing is sure that I will announce through media, the moment I am on any on these sites or I start my own.

Reporter: Thank you so much Aishwariya. It was a pleasure talking to you.

Aishwariya Rai Bachchan: Thank you.

Abu Azmi learning Marathi to face Raj Thackeray in a TV Debate

Abu Azmi learning Marathi to face Raj Thackeray in a TV Debate

Mumbai: It may sound funny, but true. Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi, who was assaulted by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) MLAs in the Assembly for taking oath in Hindi, has said that he is now learning Marathi to face Raj Thackeray in a TV debate next year. He has reportedly hired a tutor, who is teaching him Marathi language.

Abu Azmi said that after entering the state assembly, he realised that he need to learn Marathi, while it was not needed when he was in Parliament. He also expressed confidence that he will learn the language within a year to face Raj Thackeray in a TV debate. He also acknowledged that it was necessary for an MLA for Maharashtra to know Marathi.

Sri Lanka tour of India, 1st Test: India v Sri Lanka at Ahmedabad, Nov 16-20, 2009 is Drawn

Sri Lanka at Ahmedabad, Nov 16-20, 2009 is Drawn

So that is that. In five days we’ve had 21 wickets and seven centuries. Two of them came today and those helped India save this Test. Gambhir and Tendulkar batted well to save this match. Tendulkar is applauded and back-slapped as he heads into the pavilion. He and Gambhir were superb in application today. Sri Lanka were rather flat on an unresponsive track. Hopefully the Kanpur track will be more productive.

Tendulkar’s 43rd Test century, one celebrated with a whoop and a big pump of the arms

Tendulkar, Gambhir, dead pitch frustrate Sri Lanka

Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar and a dead Ahmedabad pitch took Sri Lanka’s dream of a first Test win in India to within a session – perhaps half – of its death. Gambhir played out 110 deliveries for 40 runs, and Tendulkar 145 for 55 runs; both of them looked entirely at home in the role of saving a Test, going through score-less spells, and not letting it affect their minds.

The only break in concentration came when in the second session Gambhir stepped out to launch Rangana Herath out of the ground, and ended up losing his wicket. That was not before he had reached his seventh century: four of them – and all of his last three – have come in the second innings, two of them in match-saving scenarios. He now averages 59.55 in the second innings, as opposed to a 54.22 overall.

Sri Lanka were not helped by the hamstring injury to Dammika Prasad, who didn’t bowl in the first session, and Muttiah Muralitharan’s ineffectiveness: he is yet to take a wicket in 32 second-innings overs. Previously Murali had gone wicketless in the second innings of a match only six times; the most he had bowled in such scenarios was 17 overs. Their problems on the unhelpful pitch were summed up by how Amit Mishra, nightwatchman from yesterday, got to his personal best score and frustrated them for 26 deliveries on the fifth morning. The only time when he looked like getting out was when a low, dying offering from him was dropped by Tillakaratne Dilshan at second slip. Nine overs later, when Mishra did get out, it was to a freak catch by Dilshan off a proper flick shot, low to his right, at leg gully.

Gambhir, at the other end, was in his Napier-like mode from earlier this year, when he batted 643 minutes for 137 runs to save the Test. Even today, he was not interested in scoring, or in other words he didn’t let being stuck at one end bother him much. Angelo Mathews bowled well in Prasad’s absence, hitting good lengths consistently, getting some of them to stay low and getting the odd one to seam away off the rare crack on the pitch. But Gambhir took most of the strike to him, playing 30 consecutive balls from Mathews for no run in the first hour, good in his judgement outside off, and coming forward to straighter deliveries to negate the odd shooter.

Against spinners, Gambhir preferred to stay back, or jump out of the track and get close enough to the delivery. He did pull out the big hits in the 90s, as he is used to doing because he prefers to get the 90s done with quickly. He took 61 deliveries to move from overnight 74 to 90, but then hit three boundaries in six balls to reach his century quickly. And then scored two runs in 25 deliveries. The approach in the 90s was similar to that in Napier, when he stepped out and lofted Daniel Vettori and Jeetan Patel for fours in consecutive overs.

Post lunch, when Gambhir played his only rash, he left the saunter towards safety in Tendulkar’s hand. He had started off fluently, driving Murali against the spin for two boundaries, and punching Mathews for one, and once he got comfortable in the middle he too opted to play for time. Between them Gambhir and Tendulkar played out 24 overs. The latter had reached 32 off 75 deliveries, and slowed down furthermore.

Sri Lanka threw one of the last dices, taking new ball, getting Prasad to bowl despite the injury. But neither Prasad nor Chanaka Welegedara could find enough from the pitch to disturb Tendulkar or VVS Laxman. For a while Tendulkar shut shop completely, scoring three runs in the next 26 deliveries. By that time he had reached 30,000 international runs, and it seemed torturous to make the fast bowlers keep bowling on this pitch.

The spinners came back on, the match started moving towards a slow draw again. By tea Tendulkar had crossed 50 and looked good for a 88th international century, India had erased the deficit, and Tendulkar and Laxman had played out another 24 overs.

Ajab Prem is a slap on people faces – Bollywood News

When you enter director Rajkumar Santoshi’s office in Versova, north-west Mumbai, you don’t see any posters of his latest hit, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.

Posters of his early films — Ghayal, Damini, Barsaat and Andaz Apna Apna — are showcased next to a portrait of Che Guevara, the Argentine doctor who became an icon of revolutionaries everywhere.

Santoshi was written off after consecutive failures — Family: Ties of Blood (2006) and Halla Bol (2008) — but has bounced back with his Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif starrer.

The director spoke to Syed Firdaus Ashraf about the highs of lows of his career.

Did you expect such a good response for Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani?

I knew people would like it, especially youngsters. When we edit and watch the trial, we come to know. But no one can predict the response. The film had a lot of innocence.

How has the attitude of the movie industry changed after this success?

The corporate people are calling me now!

Artistes have always respected my work. As far as the trade is concerned, it changes every Friday. I don’t go to parties or meet stars other than the ones I am working with.

I am an introvert. I don’t like to hang around with people without purpose because I don’t drink. That’s another problem. How many Cokes can I have in a party?

What kept you away from romantic comedies despite the success of Andaz Apna Apna?

I go by my own emotions and pick subjects that inspire me. When I made my first film Ghayal with Sunny Deol, it was a phenomenal success. But I did not make another action film after that. I made a heroine-oriented film, Damini. Then I made Andaz Apna Apna. If you see my career graph, it’s always been like this.

I did Lajja, a woman-oriented film, and Khakee, a police thriller. I never repeat myself; I don’t like doing that. I always want to explore new territories; that gives me a high.

Comedy, of course, comes naturally to me. But I don’t want to cash on it. There was a lot of pressure on me to do a sequel to Andaz Apna Apna, but I didn’t.

London, Nov 14 (IANS) Pop singer Christina Aguilera has admitted that she is nocturnal and prefers working late at night.

‘When the sun goes down, my whole body starts to come alive, although I am a little different now because I do have a child and my hours have been turned upside down for him,’ contactmusic.com quoted Aguilera as saying.

‘But I am still naturally a night owl. I love to work between 3-4 a.m.’ she added.

These days Aguilera finds it difficult to follow this regime, thanks to her 21-month-old son Max.

‘Now I am a mother. I am getting up early. It is 6 a.m. every day and even though I am a night owl, now I have to go to bed by 12.30 a.m. All thanks to my son, who has forced me to change my sleeping pattern,’ explained Aguilera.

Goghi goes missing in Tarak Mehta – TV News

The recent track of comedy show Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma (SAB TV) is involved in the auditions for an up coming commercial advertisement for which our ‘Tappu Sena’ has already given the tests but unfortunately, Goghi (Samay Shah) misses the bus.

Megan Fox wants to do more horror movies – Hollywood News

Megan Fox wants to do more horror movies – Hollywood News

London, Nov 14 (IANS) Hollywood actress Megan Fox is bored of simple roles. She wants to feature in horror movies where she can wear ‘gross outfits’ just like in her movie ‘Jennifer’s Body’. The ‘Transformers’ actress said: ‘I hate doing school scenes and office scenes; I hate doing mall scenes… if I could do exciting genre films like this and be covered in blood and vomit for the rest of my life, I would be really happy,’ reports contactmusic.com. ‘The scenes in which I was covered in blood and break through glass were amazing. In one scene, I’m shoving a whole chicken in my mouth – a whole chicken! I love it; it is so different and original.’ Fox says she particularly loved the ‘gross’ outfits she got to wear as her character, an undead cheerleader who kills and eats her classmates. ‘It was so cheese-tastic and so gross and so cheap, I loved it. It was so like how I used to dress when I was in high school because I had no money,’ she added.

I want to slap Rohit Verma: Tanaaz – TV News

New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS) Popular TV actress Tanaaz Currim, the latest contestant to be evicted out of reality show ‘Bigg Boss 3′ is so angry with co-participant, fashion designer Rohit Verma, that she wants to ‘go back and slap him’.

‘Rohit has enraged me so much with his attitude and backbiting on the show that I really want to go back and slap him for ruining my name,’ Tanaaz, who was evicted Friday, told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

While Verma, Tanaaz and her husband Bakhtiyaar, who too is on the show, were good friends in the initial episodes, they didn’t gel well later on.

‘I am amazed to know what all he (Verma) said behind our backs. What is he? Who is he? He says he is a well-known fashion designer, but he should see what he’s wearing. I’ll be obliged to know another person who wears Rohit Verma creations other than Rohit himself,’ said Tanaaz.

‘There is not one thing to like about him. What can I like about him?,’ she added.

The actress, known for her light-hearted performances in shows like ‘Zaban Sambhal Ke’ and films like ‘Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai’ and ‘Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon’, was evicted from the show Friday. She was nominated along with Bakhtiyaar.

Now she wants to go back to the show as a wildcard entry ‘to put people in their places’.

‘I am hopeful about re-entering the show through a wildcard entry so that I can teach them a lesson. They really need to be put in their places,’ she said.

According to Tanaaz, every person should ‘experience the show at least once – but just once’.

Tanaaz had arguments and a difference of opinion because of her outspoken ways with many people on the show. But she doesn’t feel it has harmed her public image in any way.

‘The show has shown me as a stronger person – the way I am. Till now, everyone knew of Tanaaz as the bubbly girl who likes a lot of comedy, but this show proved that I’m not just about comedy – I have a heart, a soul, a mind. And I am quite well-settled with it all.

‘I also think that’s what made people jealous. They were scared I will win and that’s why there was so much backbiting,’ she added.

Now that she is out, she plans to make up for her lost time with her one and a half-year-old son Zeus and also go on a crash diet to lose weight.

She hopes that her husband Bakhtiyaar stays on the show and that ‘he wins’.

‘Radio’ has already recovered investment: Reshammiya – Bollywood News

Mumbai Nov 13 (IANS) Composer-singer-actor Himesh Reshammiya, whose last two films bombed at the box office, says that the money invested in his forthcoming release has already been recovered through its music.

‘Radio’ was made at a budget of Rs.60 million. ‘Thankfully, the money invested in making the film was recovered through music,’ Reshammiya told IANS.

His last release ‘Karzzzz’ couldn’t recover the money because it was made at Rs.420 million, says Reshammiya.

Aamir Khan to throw his voice – Bollywood News

If he’s known as a perfectionist, it’s for a reason. And now Aamir Khan, who is starring in a new commercial in which he’ll be playing a ventriloquist, has called for veteran puppeteer Ramdas Padhya to train him in throwing his voice.

The actor is learning the art of ventriloquism from the famous Ramdas Padhya.”Aamir will be dressed as a ventriloquist and pull off some funny acts. When he got to know he was supposed to do this for the commercial, he asked the production people to call in Ramdas so that he could learn his skills,” says an insider.

Apparently Ramdas has already met Aamir a couple of times and the actor told him that he loved the puppeteer’s talent and had been a big admirer right from the time Ramdas used to do a show on Doordarshan. Aamir (see pic) will also be dressed the way Ramdas used to in the 1970s and 80s, with long sideburns and sport a hairstyle Ramdas was known for.

Hanuman Chalisa scene of London Dreams opposed by VHP, Bajrang Dal

Activists of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal today staged a protest here against the release of Bollywood movie London Dreams alleging it contained sequences that hurt Hindu sentiments and threatened to stall its screening if the sequence was not deleted.

The saffron outfit workers, led by VHP’s city unit president Pawan Srivastava, staged the demonstration at the collectorate and submitted a memorandum to the district magistrate explaining their opposition to the Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn-starrer which hit the screens today.
They alleged the movie contained an “obscene dance sequence” played to the tune of sacred ‘Hanuman Chalisa’, which was “nothing short of blasphemy” and warned screening of the movie at all theatres in the city will be stalled unless the objectionable scene was deleted.

Bollywood movie 3 Idiots – Information

3 Idiots

Director: Raju Hirani
Cast:Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Sharman Joshi,
Madhavan, Boman Irani

Chetan Bhagat hopes to do justice to his best book yet, Five Point Someone by bringing two big stars, Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor together for the first time for an adaptation of the book. The dismal failure of Hello! (also a Chetan Bhagat adaptation), will weigh heavily on the author’s mind as the 3 Idiots is in production. Raju Hirani has played a huge part in bringing the stars together, and it poses quite a challenge to portray the 30+ actors as under 22 students.

Bollywood Movie My Name is Khan – Information

My Name is Khan

Director: Karan Johar
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol

There are many stories regarding the content of this film making the rounds but ask Karan Johar about it and he just gives his most enigmatic smile. Sifting the wheat from the load of chaff it emerges this claims inspiration from the Tom Cruise-Dustin Hoffman starrer Rainman with Shah Rukh Khan playing the autistic brother to Aamir Bashir. The film covers several years in the lead character’s lives as Shah Rukh Khan’s and Kajol’s son ages from age 7 to 12. This film is as awaited for its lead pairing and its theme of terrorism as it is for being Karan Johar’s most mature film to date.

Ranbir Kapoor Deepika Padukone Break Up Reason

Though rumours of a break-up have
been brewing…..

for a while, it’s now clear that Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika
Padukone have ended their relationship. Though various theories have been
floating about the cause of their break-up, here’s the real reason why the
two have parted ways.Immediate
speculation will point to Ranbir’s chemistry with Katrina Kaif. It’s
hasty to pin the blame on Katrina though, as Deepika had seemed insecure before
the pretty actress came into the picture. And it’s not Ma Kapoor that put
the spanner in the works either.

Ranbir,
after all, is a hot-blooded Kapoor. He is a natural charmer as far as women go
and sooner or later, Deepika would have heard about his flirtations. Apparently,
Ranbir isn’t too modest about it either. Discretion about his
less-than-innocent encounters would’ve been highly advisable, but he
hasn’t exactly been a poster-boy for it so far. Common friends carried the
news to Deepika, perhaps adding a bit of tadka for flavour.

This
is when Deepika decided to call it off. Apparently, she told Ranbir to mend his
ways since she had given a lot to this relationship. She had cut off ties with
all her ‘good friends’ like Nihar Pandya and Yuvraaj Singh. So, she
wanted Ranbir to give 100 per cent to the relationship as well. She kept hearing
about his ‘friendship’ with Nandita Mahtani and other girls.
At
this point of time, Ranbir started feeling suffocated in his relationship with
Deepika. He asked for his space and Deepika justifiably wanted to know
‘What space? Aren’t we a couple?’
The
final straw was hearing about his ‘crackling chemistry’ with
Katrina. The next thing she did was to land up on the sets of Rajneeti in
Bhopal, where Ranbir was shooting with Katrina. She stayed there for nearly two weeks.

After
she came back from Bhopal, her relationship with Rishi Kapoor and Neetu
Singh’s son was almost over. The crack first became evident at Shabina
Khan’s birthday party two weeks ago where the two sat in different corners
of the room.
And
what about Neetu Singh? Mamma Neetu, who is said to have a very cold
relationship with Deepika, did not play catalyst. A source says, “Neetu
wants Ranbir to be happy. She will never go against his choice. Ranbir always
treated Deepika as a girlfriend and not as someone special, basically there was
no passion in their relationship.”

How to Make HQ Video for Youtube? - Tips And Tricks

I think you must have noticed, some of the Youtube video have a little "HQ" button on the left bottom. It means you can also watch the video in HQ mode. So how can you make a HQ video for your Youtube channel? How can we make our video quality as high as we can.

1. First of all, make your original video quality as high as possible. If you shoot the video with your camera, you'd better choose HQ devices. If you are editting videos downloaded online, you should try to find the best quality video material.

2. Edit your video with your original material. Because the video will loss quality everytime you recode it.

3. If your video edit software can't recognize your original video format, you can try to convert the videos to AVI format. AVI is the most popular format, it can be supported by most of the video edit software. (But not for MAC.) And AVI format is the most complete video format which can keep your video quality. If you are use Leawo Video Converter, you can chose "Lossless Uncompressed AVI" as the output format.

4. Though Youtube can accept most of popular video format, like AVI, MP4, MPEG, MOV etc. Keep your video in a reasonable size is very important. So when you finished the video, you may need to convert your video again. To reduce your video size or change your video format.
You can control the output quality when you convert videos with Leawo Video Converter. And diferent video format result in different video size.

5. For me I always use MPG as the output format for short videos, and MP4 for long ones. Youtube machine will separate HQ video with No-HQ video according the rate of video size and video longth. So if your video is not so high definition, you can also try to make your video size bigger, so that's why I choose MPG for short videos.

How to Optimize XP - Windows Tips And Tricks

There are a number of ways how to optimize XP. I'm sure you have heard of most of them, or already tried most of them, only to be left frustrated by the fact that your PC is no better off as a result.

Perhaps you may have already tried one or more of these below to no avail:

antivirus software scanning
spyware / malware software scanning
hard disk defragmentation
clearing out disk space
optimizing your Windows virtual memory settings
upgrading your system's memory or CPU

Does the above list look familiar? Have you already tried these things?

Well, I have news for you: Merely doing the above does not always work.

More often than not, the best way how to optimize XP is to conduct a scan of your Windows registry.

The Windows registry is the master database that XP uses to store all of the information about every piece of hardware and software ever associated with your operating system.

Over time, this database can grow to become very large and bloated. Over time, errors can even start creeping up into the database, for example, when data is not updated properly or deleted properly.

This combination of bloating and errors is a recipe for disaster. Your XP system can become extremely unstable and can become extremely slow.

A corrupt or unoptimized registry, believe it or not, is responsible for a significant percentage of all Windows XP performance problems.

So what can you do to fix your registry?

You run a specialized software program known as a registry cleaner. It scans your registry for errors and inefficiencies, and it fixes these for you, on the fly.

Most of the time, a simple registry cleaning only takes a few minutes and it can result in an instant performance boost. Your PC could be running as good as new!

We have reviewed the best registry cleaner programs that are available online. To read the reviews and to learn how to speed up your computer with a registry cleaner, visit this website now: http://www.topregistrycleaners.co.cc

Samsung Tocco - Cell Phone Review

The Samsung F480 Tocco is known for being the first Samsung phone featuring the innovative TouchWiz user interface which was later implemented across its new range of touch screen phones.

Design

F480 has a compact design with brushed metal covering most of its body. At 3.5oz, the phone looks and feels solid in your hands. The 2.8 inch display occupies most of the real estate on the front of the phone. The 5 megapixel camera is located on the rear side. The 2.8 inch touch screen has a display resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. It supports 262000 colors. The display shows good sensitivity, but it can be activated only by fingers: this can be a problem if you wear gloves. The display screen is sufficiently good. With full-colored menu icons, the TouchWiz user interface looks pleasant to the eye, can you can personalize it with custom wall papers or themes. However, sometimes there will be a slight lag when you try to navigate through the menus.

Features

F480 supports a good number of widgets such as Analog clock, Digital clock, calendar, Gallery and games. Other than being present, most of these widgets offer limited functionality. The phonebook can hold up to 1000 entries. Each entry can consist of up to 5 numbers, pictures, ringtones, birth date and a short note. You can organize contacts into groups and assign pictures and ringtones to them. Despite this being a high-end device, you can search contacts only by the first name. The internal storage is 220MB. If you need more room, you can use microSD cards. There is, nevertheless, one problem. You will need to format the microSD cards before you can use them on this phone. There is no QWERTY keyboard, so you will have to input text via the keypad.

Connectivity

Samsung F480 is a tri-band GSM phone, so its use in the US is limited. As F480 supports HSDPA you will have no difficulty getting high speed internet access. It also supports Bluetooth 2.0 for wireless connectivity. Another option is the USB cable.

Camera

The 5 MP camera is fast and proves good in taking outdoor pictures. However, it should be pointed out that the camera interface takes some time to get used to. Indoor and night pictures may suffer in quality due to lack of sufficient lighting. The videos are shot at 320x240 pixels resolution and 15 fps. The video quality isn't very impressive especially when you shoot indoors. As for watching video, well, this phone isn't built for that. Samsung Tocco comes equipped with standard music and video playback functionality. There is no 3.5 mm audio jack in the package, so you will have to do with the standard earphones. The music quality is just above average. There is an FM radio which uses the handsfree as the antenna. To listen to the radio you will have to plug in the handsfree. With Samsung F480 you can view MS Office 2003 and Adode Reader documents, but you cannot edit them.

Performance

Call quality is strictly OK. Voices sound audible, but you may difficulty hearing in a noisier surrounding. That said, this is a phone you will want to buy for its looks and the camera which is incredibly good for shooting outdoor pictures and videos.

Battery life

Samsung claims that the battery will provide 3 hours of talk time and about 12 days of standby.

My Computer is Going Slow

I use my computer every day for work and in recent months I've found that my computer is going slow, much slower than it ever used to. I can't think of any reasons why my computer would start going inexplicably slow out of nowhere. I run regular virus checks not to mention the ad and spyware checks and they both came up clean.

It turns out that the vast number of issues involving people exclaiming my computer is going slow can all be traced back to one problem. What I subsequently learned was that I had a lot of problems in my registry. Here's what I did to fix my computer when I found that my computer is going slow.

Your system's registry is like its memory. This is where it keeps all of the settings for your various programs. Over time your registry can become bogged down and get slow from everyday use and with the more programs which you install.

You can either go and fix your registry manually or you can get a specially designed program to do the same job for you which works much like a virus cleaner. The latter is recommended as you can do serious damage to your computer by going in and manually tweaking your registry settings so that once you're done many programs may not work properly or at all, so be careful with this.

We have reviewed the best registry cleaner programs that are available online. To read the reviews and to learn how to speed up your computer with a registry cleaning, visit this website now: http://www.topregistrycleaners.co.cc

How to Make Your Computer Faster - The Easiest Ways to Fix a Computer Running Slow

No matter how fast your new computer might be, it will get slower over time without maintenance. And then, how to make your computer faster will be a big Problem to you? But in fact, it's very easy to deal with it by just some clicks. Here are the reasons why it become slower and the easiest ways to fix computer running slow:

Reason 1: Too many useless applications start with the system. So you'd better disable them right now!

1. Configure boot of Winodws XP
1.1 Click "Start", point to "Run" and click.
1.2 Input "msconfig" in the pop-up box.
1.3 On the "Startup" tab check Disable All
1.4 On the "Services" tab click the "Hide All Microsoft Service box" and then click "Disable All".
1.5 Press on "Restart".

This way will disable all non-system startup sevices and applications. If you want to run some of them in the background such as anti virus software, just check it out.

Reason 2: lots of fonts be loaded during the boot-up process. In my opinion, you probably only use several of them. So you can move the others into another folder.

2. Clean up the fonts' folder
2.1 Right clicking on "Desktop" and point to "New" to create a New Folder.
2.2 Open "Fonts" in "Control Panel". (if you can not find it, switch to "Classic View" to find them easier.)
2.3 Highlight a group of fonts younever use.
2.4 Cut off them to the folder you just created.
2.5 Restart your pc.

Compare Mini Laptops to See How They Rate on Features and Value

The new mini laptops that have come on the scene recently are gaining in popularity as more and more people discover that they can have the same benefits as a larger laptop, without all the hassles of carrying around an 8 pound battery hog.

Now don't get me wrong, there's lots to love about regular sized laptops. For one thing, they're just like using your typical desktop PC, which is nice when you want to do some high-powered computing on the go.

However, do you really need all that computing power most of the time?

This is the main question you'll need to ask yourself when determining if a mini laptop is right for you or not. Depending on your needs, a small, netbook computer may be just the thing you want to do many of the tasks you now use a larger laptop for.

Another benefit to using the mini laptop is that they're very economical. While your average laptop runs around $1500, the average netbook computer is around $375. That's quite a price difference when you realize that the netbook performs many of the same basic functions as the laptop.

Right now, the leader in the affordable netbook field is Acer Aspire, however, there are several big brand names nipping at their heels. The main brands you'll want to compare are: Acer Aspire, Asus, Samsung, HP, MSI Wind and Toshiba. While there are other big names just now entering the mini notebook arena, the above brands have a big head start and are already very popular.

Okay, so what do you need to consider when buying a mini laptop?

Here are five things you want to compare:

Price - this is one of the most important concerns for many people looking to invest in a netbook. While it's accepted that you're already getting a great deal when purchasing a netbook over a regular sized laptop, there are still some great deals to be found on price. Of course, you can just go with the cheapest, no matter what the brand. However, it's best to look at features and think about whether or not a particular netbook meets most of your needs.

The last thing you want to do is buy the cheapest netbook computer, only to find that you're not happy with it. There are other things that determine value besides price - remember that.

Screen Size - You'll find that some popular models have an 8-inch screen size, which is okay, but the average screen size now is 10-inches. So, this may affect your choice and the amount you pay. If the netbook is for a child, then the 8-inch may be just fine. If it's for an adult, then the 10-inch screen is probably best.

Keyboard Size - This is where many people have issues with netbooks. You see, in order to squeeze all the essentials into such a small space, manufacturers often make compromises when it comes to size of the keyboard. Most netbooks are 80 - 90% smaller than regular laptop keyboards. If you have large fingers, then touch typing will be difficult on a small keyboard. Some keys may be in different locations, and track pads can be a bit testy on some models. Make sure you read reviews on the keyboard for each model since this affects how comfortable you will be using the netbook.

Battery Life - Most netbooks will have a battery life of around 6 to 9 hours, which is great. You'll need to read reviews to see if this is really the case or in reality, it's much shorter. Often the battery life the manufacturer states is only under optimal conditions. In real world use, you may have to turn off certain functions to get close to the higher end lifespan. Still, most people seem to enjoy longer usage than on regular laptops.

Performance - In all the excitement over netbooks, the one thing that many people forget is that these are not the same as owning a regular full-sized laptop. Netbooks have their limitations, this is totally due to their small size. It's just not possible to fit everything onto a tiny hard drive, so you shouldn't purchase one thinking you can run high-powered applications and games on it.

They're much cheaper than laptops because they do less.

Now, if you want a mini laptop to do basic word documents, spreadsheets, email, web surfing, music downloading and the like, then netbooks are a great value. One thing that is not included, in order to save space, is a CD/DVD drive. However, you can still download movies from reputable online sources and watch them just fine on your netbook.

For the money, a netbook computer is one of the greatest values you're going to find that will allow you the same on-the-go freedom that you get with a regular laptop. Netbooks are cheap, lightweight and fun to own. Remember to compare before you buy and you're bound to get one that you'll enjoy using for a long time.

Celina Jaitley Biography and Fimography

Cosmo thinks SRK and Ranbir are Females?

Cosmopolitan Fearless Female Awards were held recently, and some of the winners I know are Bipasha Basu, Sania Mirza, Shahrukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor.

Don’t even think that I have mistakenly included Shahrukh and Ranbir in the above list… both won the Fearless Female Awards for real (photo proof). I don’t know what’s the story behind the awards, but I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw them holding those trophies shaped as a high heel (ladies shoes or whatever they are called).
Have they included Shahrukh and Ranbir in the Female list? Hope Shahrukh and Ranbir don’t fight, because each got just one high heel and what if they would like to try it out. Yeah, I think the high heel is quite wearable… you just have to knock the bottom stand off. Me and my crazy imaginations! Whatever guys, this is quite funny.

If you know the real story, you can always leave them as comments.
