    Transformers 2:the revenge of the fallen,the sequel of the much hyped Transformers is back...and back with a bang....
    - The biggest movie of the summer is finally here, but that's the problem with this movie is that- it's just too too long.The visual effects are stunning and outstanding.The picture seems to be very HD like and has much more action packed in it than its predeccessor.The graphics is stunning and the colours are so bright and each and every detail has been given importance to.

    The plot of the story goes as under:

    It is revealed that thousands of years before Optimus Prime and the other Transformers arrived on Earth, there was a race of ancient Transformers who scoured the universe looking for Energon sources. Known as the Dynasty of Primes, they used a weapon called the Sun Harvester to drain stars of their energy in order to convert it to Energon and power Cybertron’s Allspark.

    In present day, two years after the events of the first film, Optimus now leads NEST, a military organization consisting of human troops and his own team of Autobots.This is the information available now.There are confirmed news that Optimus Prime is killed by Megatrons in this part of the sequel and that Megatrons come back into power again leading to speculations that there will be another sequel after this....

    Here are a few screenshots of the upcoming movie..Just waiting to watch it.....Releasing on July 10th in India...

    Adobe CS4..The best Multimedia Editing suite ever

    Adobe offers Creative suite professional software in five flavors. Among them, the Master Collection offers professionals the most jam-packed digital toolbox.The release of Adobe Creative Suite 3 in 2007 was the first to incorporate former Macromedia products, such as Flash. With Creative Suite 4, Adobe has unified the interfaces of all the applications for a more seamless experience. There are applications for concocting and editing digital pixel and vector graphics, print layouts, video, audio, web pages, Web pages, and animation, and then repurposing that content for mobile devices. Those who don't need the whole shebang might consider suites that cost less, such as Web Premium or Standard for Web design, Design Premium or Standard with tools for printed media, or Production Premium for film production.Its a product highly recommended only for professionals.


    The packages in which the Adobe CS 4 will be available are:
    1)Adobe CS 4 Master Collection
    2)Adobe CS 4 Design Premium
    3)Adobe CS 4 Design Standard
    4)Adobe CS 4 Web Premium
    5)Adobe CS 4 Web Standard
    6)Adobe CS 4 Production Premium

    Minimum Requirements: Users of Windows XP SP2 or Vista must have a processor of at least 2GHz, or 3.4GHz for working with high-definition video. Photoshop now natively supports 64-bit Vista, while Premiere, After Effects, Soundbooth, Encore, and OnLocation are certified for 64-bit Vista.

    The various applications offered in Adobe CS 4 are:
    a)Adobe Acrobat 9 professional
    b)After Effects CS 4
    c)Contribute CS 4
    d)Dreamweaver CS 4

    g)Illustrator CS 4 professional
    h)InDesign CS 4

    Cons :
    The costly, heavy-duty applications take long to install, are hard to learn, and hog resources; personal tech support can exceed the price of some applications; some apps, such as Photoshop, offer few compelling reasons for most users to upgrade.

    Pros :
    The dozen applications in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection sport streamlined interfaces and integration for designing and editing images, Web pages, mobile sites, desktop apps, animation, film, and print layouts, and support the latest digital formats.

    Android..Upcoming challenge from Google to Microsoft



    So Whats Android??
    Android is a
    mobile operating system running on the Linux Kernel.It is an open source Operating system,so it will be one of the most awaited OS of the year,especially for Developer tools.


    Well,Android was supposed to be a mobile and handheld devices' operating system developed by Google..It has been quiet sometime that Google decided to finalize the launch of Android,but now the latest news has confirmed that Google's Android platform would be developed as an OS for Pc's also giving Microsoft the toughest challenge ever.Google most ambitious Android project will impact Microsoft in a very significant way as claimed by experts.As of now,the mobile UI is available but the PC version is under development and the beta version may be available commercially anywhere around first quarter in the next year..


    The latest SDK(Software Development Kit) of Android OS was released in Dec'08 and its version is m5-rc14.The new improvements include New User Interface,Layout animations, geo-coding and numerous new media codecs.Given below are a few screenshots of Android mobile:




    Windows 7 Release candidate 1

    First of all,let me tell that Windows 7 is the latest operating system from Microsoft launched recently..

    The minimum requirements for running the OS are :

    • 1 GHz processor (32- or 64-bit)
    • 1 GB of RAM (32-bit); 2 GB of RAM (64-bit)
    • 16 GB of available disk space (32-bit); 20 GB of available disk space (64-bit)
    • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

    Available Editions: Windows 7 will be available in six different editions, but only Home Premium and Professional will be widely available at retail. The other editions are focused at other markets, such as the developing world or enterprise use.Each edition of Windows 7 will include all of the capabilities and features of the edition below it.

    Other editions are :

    Windows 7 ULTIMATE,STARTER and ENTERPRISE.

    All the editions will be available in both 32bit and 64bit versions except the STARTER edition.

    Now,there those who have already laid their hands on it might have loved it.Graphics is much more better due to embedded Directx 11 and its much faster than Windows Vista apart from other new features....Aero graphics has been improved and taken to the next level...


    Upgrading from other versions: If you're running Windows Vista, you sure can upgrade—it's designed to be easy to go from Vista to Windows 7, actually. It's a little more complicated with other types of Windows. You can upgrade your Windows 7 Beta install if you've got one, but it's not recommended, and takes a bit of skunkwork. You're out of luck with XP and any other older version of Windows..so XP users,be ready for a clean format of your hard disk...

    Speculations about XP mode in Windows 7: Yes,this is true man..You can download a fully functional windows xp sp3 and run it alongside with windows 7.That means you can run IE 6 alongwith IE 8(speaking in a layman's sense)..However this feature will be more useful for Enterprise users...You get the reliability of XP with the looks of Windows 7

    Aero graphics: Yes,Aero graphics is still here...Like the previous version Vista,Windows 7 has windows flip3D which u can activate using CTRL+WINDOWS KEY+TAB.Transparent windows are present.Colours of windows can be totally customized.A new feature is Invisible windows in which the window you are currently working in is visible and all other windows are transparent...A cool feature really....A new addition is that the desktop wallpaper can actually be a slideshow of images which change automatically...
