We'll See

We all know what happens.
You know something you really want.
You're kind of too scared to tell your parents. But after a few days, you work up the courage.
"Umm...dad....can I get a PSP?" (for example)
Your dad looks at you sternly for a few seconds. Then he says the exact words we've been expecting.
"We'll see."
Its almost as bad as a death sentence. You know that you're not going to get it,  but you can't contain that little glimmer of hope that believes you will get it.
And what stinks more is that you can't try to convince your parents because they already said that they'll "see".

Mozilla Firefox


Mozilla Firefox is the second most used internet browser after (what else?) the Internet Explorer. However, in the near future, Firefox is bound to grab attention since IE 9 was the last browser for windows Vista and IE 8 for XP. That's right. IE 10 is exclusively for Windows 7. That is the first mistake that Microsoft made.
The latest stable version of Mozilla Firefox is 4.0, which released in April.
At the release of Google Chrome, Google promised fast development, with a new version every six weeks. Mozilla and Internet Explorer are also following suit, with Mozilla making rapid developments as well as enhancing features.
***********************************************************************************

When Mozilla Firefox first released (version 1) on November 9, 2004, it was not seen as a potential threat to the Internet Explorer. Even when version 3.6 bagged around seven awards including product of the year, Bill Gates reportedly said that he "had tried Firefox" and "it was just another browser, not as great as Internet Explorer" and that he "did not see it as a threat to the dominance of the Internet Explorer." However, these words were proved false as a survey revealed that the amount of Firefox users in Europe surpassed the amount of IE users, making Firefox 3.6 the first Internet browser to do so.

Funny Fiasco



It all started with Suresh Kalmadi (whose name, incidentally, is spelled with the same letters as "Sir u made lakhs") totally messing up India's CWG awesomeness dream. Then the athletes pulled out, saying cheesy stuff like "My children would rather have me than have a medal." And then TOI finds tobacco spit marks and dog footprints in the hotel rooms. And, naturally, Kalmadi is thoroughly "booed" at the opening ceremony. Finally, as an afterword, he is thrown in jail and locked up like an ordinary prisoner, even while he keeps that annoying grin of his.
