Seems like Microsoft loves getting itself all the negative publicity possible.
Autopatcher, a free software to install most MS updates on WinXP, has been served a notice by MS to stop distributing its updates and some stupid reason for the same.
Shame! I loved the software and used it to update my copy of WinXP, after a fresh install and after every month or so. Sad.

I am sure Steve Jobs would be offended, but even he would agree that this is one brilliant piece of advertisement.

Read MoreI am extremely sad and angry.
A thing that any father and mother should never have to do. A couple loses their young child and go to a ghat to bury his body. The ghat is in a very sorry state with dogs digging up remains of buried bodies. Someone picks up the story and files a PIL. The Government promises quick action.
So what has enraged me. The lines below from the PIL (emphasis mine).
That the Petitioner being a staunch Hindu from upper caste with status in life and good family background along with his above mentioned cousin and family prepared the body of master Raghav for being taken to a crematorium for dignified and honorable cremation.
Doesn’t a Hindu from lower class without status is life, whatever that means, have a right to diginified burial for his/her child?

Read MoreI also wonder if the people in charge of this mission are admitting their mistakes or trying to cover their ashes. Okay, I don’t really wonder that. I just wanted to write “cover their ashes.” And this:
Q. What do you call a crater left by a rocket full of cremated remains?
A. An ash hole.
From Youth Curry:
Lastly, Forsche recruited drivers from an ad it placed in Mid-day a couple of months ago. Apparently a range of women applied. Says Ms Roy:
“While Prabhjyot Kaur (57), a grandmother and graduate in economics and sociology will be our oldest driver, the youngest in my fleet of taxis is Rajashree H (32), an electronics engineer from BITS Pilani.”
I too, as Rashmi, would “love to meet this engineer and ask… why?” Now please do not get me wrong. Driving a taxi is very honorable and all, but it seems to me like Matt Damon saying he wants to tend to sheep in “Good Will Hunting“.

A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you’re a great guy, but I don’t like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we’re not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we’re going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn’t work out, we’ll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.
ROTFL!! Reminds me of Rajesh Advani, who btw, has started blogging again.
