I am sure people will disagree with me....but I better be honest and true to myself...I felt very strongly about this movie that forced me write this blog...

What was the least did I expect when I stood in the moderately long queue for the 10:20 PM show at AMC 1000 Van ness....I knew as usual there was going to be few destruction show off's, some sort of animated cast of apocalypse coming etc., etc.,

Agreed. Great graphics, awe inspiring illustrations of the impossible and what not....but stop and take a careful second look! Where are we going with these ideas?

Should we be enjoying and encouraging all these ideas that push the fear of dooms day to the edge? Bull crap... After Independence day, The Day after tomorrow, The Day Earth Stood Still, and many others, 2012 is just another sick idea...why? because people love these ideas of civilizations getting wiped off, 100 floor buildings falling down, Millions of people dying at the same time? Poor White House, for its the default victim!

The media industry again fails to be responsible and tries to make money out by injecting fear sugar coated with thrill, when it can spread some positive magic on the people and hope to their ideas in this tough time of economic crisis.

I have tried the Gold Master...must say it fast and reliable compared to Vista (for which I renounced Windows on personal computing and went to Mac for ever :))

But seems like Microsoft still hasn't fixed the issues as they should have, there are still loose ends and more potential pitfalls created in Windows 7! Fault Tolerant Heap (FTH) doesn't sound like a logical thing to do. Artificially preventing program crashes when they access a freed memory location...won't it affect correctness at some point? yuk

Can't deny Windows 7 is a stable and reliable desktop platform...can't wait for Windows 2008

Mark Russinovich cannot be wrong (author or Sysinternals, Technical Fellow etc.,etc.,)

After a week long wait for my Comcast technician appointment to activate my Double Play (High Speed Internet and Digital Cable) bundle, I am left furious and drained without achieving anything

I knew Comcast was evil but my apartment leaves me no other choice (Thanks to AT&T, by the time they bring U-Verse to my area, televisions will be obsolete)

There was no sign of the technician even hour past appointment window! I think punctuality is unknown in Comcast.

After 10 calls to different customer service representatives and finally escalating this issue to a supervisor the technician arrived 3 hrs late! Guess what happened next? After 2 hrs of walking up and down the technician couldn't get the thing working!

Roughly 6 hrs after all the toils I had to give up and ask the technician to come tomorrow as I was hour and half late to another appointment.... How more insane can it become....wait till tomorrow

Mr. Brian L Roberts (Comcast CEO) if you happened to read this I am sorry to say but your team is not just inefficient, it's outright useless.

Well they don't have iPhone :) thats why Verizon is desparate... but twisting the facts...thats not fair...

I agree that AT&T should catch up with the consumer data usage patterns and improve their network capabilities (a lot ofcourse)...but Verizon is no good...with half the consumers and trying to pick every last penny from consumer...they are'nt any better...
