Firefox

Downloaded and tried The new Firefox 1.5 on my thinkpad R50e. There is something about it .......it is quick and the new tabbed interface and the special search box with the facility to add any engine to it makes it more time saving and efficient. Rocking!!

4th Generation

The promos are finally coming online....the 4th generation (based on my knowledge) Bajaj Pulsar is ready to hit the roads. DTS-Fi is the word this time around. There are many modifications as expected. twin discs, front gets a hayabusa look, oil cooler, two level seats, tubeless tyres, LED tail lamp, and chain guard has become more sporty, the rear lower mud guard is out and wheel base looks a bit extended giving the machine more balance and a more sporty look. The factor to watch out for will be its price.

Visiting 360

Was going through the features of the new XBOX 360 from Microsoft. It is quite impressive:

** 500 MHz custom ATI graphics processor; 10MB of embedded DRAM and 48-way parallel floating-point dynamically scheduled shader pipelines; unified shader architecture

I guess it is not just about gaming....it is about almost everything!

and then i went through the anticipation ratings of the games on XBOX 360.....Quake 4 gets 4 out of 5..impressive again!!
Most, if not all, of the world’s greatest game creators have signed up for Xbox 360. Microsoft finally nailed Squaresoft and ongoing support from 2K Games (GTA, etc) is a sure sign of great things to come.

Honestly ..i will not mind going for a 360....but i would like to wait for more user opinions!!

Days...

Went back in time......
Stroggs..super shot guns....frags....makron...xero..sarge.....that frantic movement of mouse...dodging the bullets and rockets..that feeling after a victory....miss those gaming days....would love to get some of it back...but that needs time....and its a bonus if i find time even for myself!!
Its amazing how technology outplays us....its like few days back we were fragging each other in Quake 3....its like yesterday Quake 4 was released....and today Quake 5 is ready to go..!!Unreal!!
I know not many gaming freaks are out there.....but for me it goes back to the Quake and Quake 2 days that i started playing on my brother's Titanic PC.
