Shrek Forever After Movie Trailer On “YOUTUBE”

When the first Shrek hit the silver screen in 2001, it wowed audiences with its fairy-tale storyline, its witty pop culture asides, and its impressive cast of voice actors: Mike Myers played the titular ogre; with Cameron Diaz as Fiona, his love interest; and Eddie Murphy as his wise-cracking donkey sidekick.

And for the latest and last movie in the franchise — “Shrek Forever After” — Myers and the gang returns along with new A-list talent, like Megan Fox who plays “The Princess in the Tower.” But for the movie’s chief bad guy, the silken-tongued Rumpelstiltskin, Dreamworks hired the voice talent of Walt Dohrn.


10 Watches More Expensive than a Ferrari

March 12th, 2010 Virdan No comments

Let’s be realistic here, the economy is in the crapper and your 401k looks about as arousing as you do after a cold shower. What’s a Burgundy drinking, ’stache rocking, web surfing Internet denizen like you to do? Diversify your skill set by ogling watches you’ll never be able to afford and learning what makes them tick.
Most of these watches are more complicated than college calculus and have more history than you could learn in a lifetime. You might even need an engineering degree and an instructional tome to figure out how they work. Regardless, all these watches (for one reason or another) are ridiculously cool and absurdly expensive. Sell the Ferrari, liquidate the stocks, and pick up one of these bad-ass timekeeping devices.


The Patek Caliber 89 – $5,120,000
Buying this watch would require selling 3.5 Bugatti Veyrons, which happens to be 70% of the total number they sold in 2005. The closest most of us will ever get to a Veyron is drooling over it on Top Gear. It’s all about perspective here people. Three Veyrons. Say it out loud – Three. Veyrons. So what makes this watch worth $5.12mil? For starters, it is the most complicated watch on the planet with 33 complications. Essentially, it requires a degree in mechanical engineering to understand, but suffice it to say it has everything but the kitchen sink. It also took more time to design than you spent in college (including those extra years “studying” chemistry).


Split Seconds Patek Philippe Reference 1436 By Tiffany & Co. – $214,000
It’s emblazoned with the Tiffany & Co. name, so you know it’s gonna be expensive. Compared to the rest of the watches on this list though, it’s actually pretty cheap. Well, you know, if two-hundred grand can ever be considered cheap. You’re getting the Patek and the Tiffany names, what else could you want? The ability to time two events that start simultaneously but end at different times – you didn’t think those fancy blue hands were just for show did you?

Rajeev Khandelwal engaged for in-laws`s sake

Given a choice Rajeev Khandelwal was happy being attached to his girlfriend Manjiri Kamtikar because he knew, marriage or not, he was in love with her for keeps and he didn’t need any formal announcement to prove it.

But the engagement to be held in May is being done to comply with the lady’s parent’s wishes..

Says Rajeev, “Manjari and her parents come from a world far removed from cinema and the entertainment industry. They don’t understand the workings of Bollywood and their knowledge of what goes on here is based on what they read and see on television. You can’t blame them for thinking actors are not to be trusted.”

Manjari’s parents were anxious that he make the association formal.Gallantly Rajeev volunteered an engagement ceremony.

Says Rajeev, “But I don’t know how it got out. I haven’t discussed it with anyone. Manjari’s parents or my parents in all their innocence must have shared the information with some people.”

Rajeev enjoys the distance that his girlfriend provides from the goings-on in the industry. “She works in an ad agency and is far removed from show world. She keeps me grounded. I’m looking forward to spending my life with her.”

King Penguins are notorious for their prim, tuxedoed appearance — but a recently discovered all-black penguin seems unafraid to defy convention. In what has been described as a “one in a zillion kind of mutation,” biologists say that the animal has lost control of its pigmentation, an occurrence that is extremely rare. Other than the penguin’s monochromatic outfit, the animal appears to be perfectly healthy – and then some. “Look at the size of those legs,” said one scientist, “It’s an absolute monster.”

Chinese group file complaint over faulty HP laptops..!!

March 10th, 2010 GrApEwAtEr No comments

SHANGHAI - More than 100 Chinese consumers have filed an official complaint against Hewlett-Packard Co over faulty laptop computers, leaving the door open for a lawsuit against the U.S. technology company, a lawyer for the group said on Wednesday.

Jiang Suhua, a lawyer at Yingke Law Firm in Beijing, told Reuters the complaint centered on video cards which overheated and caused the laptop to malfunction.

He said that around 170 Chinese sent the complaint on Friday to the country’s quality control watchdog agency, General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

Jiang said the problems dated back as far as 2007 in some cases.

When contacted by Reuters, HP said in a statement it had a program in November 2007 to offer a free repair for customers with affected HP notebooks. It declined to comment directly on the complaint.

Jiang said the group wanted the government to investigate and order HP to recall all faulty laptops in China.

“Yes, we can bring it to court, but right now it has not reached that stage,” he said.

HP generates more than three-fifths of its revenue outside its U.S. home base. Last month, it said sales from fast-growing emerging countries Brazil, Russia, India and China leapt 41 percent from a year ago.
