Lingaa : Rajini Fans await with bated Breath

The only time myself ,a self obsessed IT security enthusiast, go off the track from my blog is when some thing is on way about Rajinikanth...and this time as the teaser for his next movie LINGAA got released I had to go off again...a treat for all Rajini Fans...he is back with grand bang then ever since Shivaji happened.The 35 second long teaser has already wowed the viewers with its gripping background score, amazing action sequences and of course, the presence of superstar Rajinikanth. "Lingaa" releases on his birthday 12 December.....huh!!!!with full seetiyaan and tamasha I await the release with bated breath....here is the teaser....

DISCONNECT & CONNECT TO RAJNIKANTH POWER : WEBSITE RUNS WITHOUT INTERNET

1. The only thing that has ever found a mention in my blog ever apart from any technical stuff is about RAJNIKANTH here since I am one of his huge fans.Now this time he makes a entry in my blog not because of his charisma....he is here owing to the fact he has beaten the basic internet requirement....A WEBSITE THAT RUNS WITHOUT INTERNET.

2.  Yes! you have read it right. A man as extraordinary as Rajnikanth ought to have a website that's as extraordinary as him. "All About Rajni" the site dedicated to the legendary superstar runs without the Internet; albeit on RAJNI POWER!

3.    How does it run then technically speaking? It is attributed to some complex algorithm running in the back-end that keeps an eye on the propagation of data packets between two terminals.What does that mean anyway?....may be it downloads a small flash file the moment you hit the site in the background....anyways its just a guess.....if i come across the details...will let u know...till then enjoy RAJNI POWER on the net.

ZUNE 120 GB

1. For those of you who are hearing this name for the first time,lemme tell you what it is in brief? ZUNE is a Microsoft entertainment platform and portable media player on the lines of Ipod by Apple on a larger scale in terms of screen, capacity, features. etc. Of the various models of Zune, ZUNE120 measures 4.3 inches high by 2.4 inches wide. I will give some brief on this since i got this one recently.

Features

2. Main menu has the following scroll down as shown in screen shot from my ZUNE.

- Music

- Videos

- Pictures

- Social

- Radio

- Market Place

- Games

- Settings

3. Further brief on few of these of interest are enumerated below

Market Place allows browsing, previewing & downloading music directly from Microsoft's Zune Marketplace online store. Marketplace submenu further allows choosing between browsing Songs, Albums, and New Releases, or search for specific music by keying in a few letters. Songs can be previewed for 30 seconds with the option to add them to your virtual cart or purchase and download immediately. By signing up for Microsoft's Zune Pass music-subscription service (a free 14-day trial is available).....still to be availed by me.....

ZUNE is WiFi enabled and allows keying in the passwords if required vide Zunepad.

Radio : An interesting part of my first few days of interaction with ZUNE was non running of FM stations till the time I got link to this thread ie http://vasudevg.blogspot.com/2007/12/zune-fm-radio-tip.html that involved simply changing country from preset US to Europe

Video format : The only problem that I faced was that the horde of movies that I possess do not run directly on this.One needs to convert them to zune/ipod format with easy to use Windows Media Encoder....time consuming but worth it when we play it here on the ZUNE......I converted Sivaji Rajinikanth(...my fav) with a third party software Cucusoft...but was labelled with trial version watermark throughou(screen shot down)....rest was quiet ok....then converted with windows media encoder...and worked perfectly fine....gr8 output in video and sound....

Ports : Only two including one to ear phone and the other to USB for interface with PC for sync and charging battery.

Capacity : 120 GB...thats awesome for storage!!!!!

4. Any one across with any difficulty or query on Zune player can just leave his/her problem....will get back asap.......thats a promise for while.....

THE NAME IS RAJNIKANTH

1. Now whats Rajnikanth doing here in this BLOG..which deems itself to reflect IT news and small things about life.Actually a personal favorite of mine...I thought I must include this favourite of mine...this guy is amazingly amazing for those who know him....and for those who do not know him...I really understand that they r missing something.....i mean not someting...but quiet a LOT...ek baar rajni ka issssshtyle dekhogey to vaaakai TENSION free ho jayogey.....

2. This guy has stupefying,flummoxing,baffling or more simply just amazing SCREEN PRESENCE.I have a lot of respect for him for he is unlike a superstar in so many ways we see other actors and still dooms large on them.The XXX factor could be measured when crowds from all sections of the society Hindi/Telugu/TAMIL off course/Kannada/Japan/Russia throng the cinema theatres.Google is the place where one would be able to measure the scale of strength he modulates when he appears in his movies today....even as a youngster.....(though he is closing on 60 next year).

3. Here is a list of characteristics of the character that Rajnikanth entertains on in his list of HITS...

a. Rajnikanth makes onions cry

b. Rajnikanth can delete the Recycle Bin.

c. Ghosts are actually caused by Rajnikanth killing people faster than Death can process them.

d. Rajnikanth can build a snowman..... out of rain.

e. Rajnikanth can strangle you with a cordless phone.

f. Rajnikanth can drown a fish.

g. When Rajnikanth enters a room, he doesn't turn the lights on,......... .... he turns the dark off.

h. When Rajnikanth looks in a mirror the mirror shatters, because not even glass is stupid enough to get in between Rajnikanth and Rajnikanth.

j. The last digit of pi is Rajnikanth. He is the end of all things.

k. Rajnikanth does not know where you live, but he knows where you will die.

l. Rajnikanth calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd, no one fools Rajnikanth.

m. If you spell Rajnikanth wrong on Google it doesn't say, "Did you mean Rajnikanth?" It simply replies, "Run while you still have the chance."

n. Once a cobra bit Rajnikanth' leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.

o. Rajnikanth was once on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and was the first to spin. The next 29 minutes of the show consisted of everyone standing around awkwardly, waiting for the wheel to stop.

p. It takes Rajnikanth 20 minutes to watch 60 Minutes.

q. Rajnikanth once shot down a German fighter plane with his finger, by yelling, "Bang!"

r. Behind every successful man, there is a woman. Behind every dead man, there is Rajnikanth.

s. Rajnikanth destroyed the periodic table, because Rajnikanth only recognizes the element of surprise.

t. Rajnikanth got his drivers license at the age of 16 Seconds.

u. WHEN YOU SAY "NO ONE'S PERFECT", RAJNIKANTH TAKES THIS AS A PERSONAL INSULT.
