This is not an article but a film which will be released early this november 2009. It seems that the producers of this film were quite amazed and inspired by the so called 'will-be happenings' of 21st December 2012. You see, obessesion can drive us ways...
Okay, without making much of a fuss, take a look at the teaser-trailer of the film entitled '2012' below.
A better movie trailer can be found here.
Tell me how it was..
It is high time to promote open source software in Mauritius. Other countries have already introduced that and are high on..
The website opensource.mu aims at encouraging mauritians to use opensource rather than paid software. Check it out, it's quite an interesting website also suggesting important software that could be used. For e.g instead of using a Windows OS use RedHat's Fedora (My favourite which I am using..), latest is Fedora 11 Leonidas, which is a free OS built and distributed by people ready to help around the globe and maintained by the community called the fedora project.
So, it would be nice if everyone of us could promote opensource software, especially in Mauritius. The link goes here.
Special thanks to ArcBird who hosted the website.
The latest elegant and multifunctional device from Microsoft leave us dumbfounded(codename: Milan). The different features are:

What I've seen on television personally, is that you have the ability to manipulate the images with your hands (iphone type), drag your perso-images onto any folder you wish. The basic applications are photos, music, virtual concierge, and games, that can be customized for the customers.
A unique feature that comes preinstalled with Surface is the pond effect "Attract" application. Simply, it is a "picture" of water with leaves and rocks within it (a lot like a screen saver used in Windows XP or Vista). By touching the screen, you can create ripples in the water just like you were putting your hand into a real stream. Additionally, the pressure of touch alters the size of the ripple created, and objects placed into the water create a barrier that ripples bounce off, just as they would in real life.
I am going to express this new technology with some other pictures.
That's all.
