Easy Share

Most of you must have heard of rapidshare and megaupload. A less heard of, and less used, but no doubt really powerful site for sharing files is easy-share.com. Upload your files and earn 0.1 cent each some one downloads it. Or, you can help me by uploading a file here and giving it to people when you want to share a file.

Rapidshare Happy Hours

Rapid share has introduced "happy hour" again. This, actually is happy hours. Its been happy hour most of the time through the last week and probably throughout the last month. Its good news for users, who like me, had trouble deciphering the cat-based text verification. In any case, it has now changed and the new text verifications are pretty good. Hope they stay.

Movie Review : War

War A.K.A Rogue Assassin is a movie that came out in 2007.

Jack Crawford (Jason Statham) and Tom Lone (Terry Chen) are partners in FBI. When someone called the 'Rogue' (we later find out that Rogue is Jet Li) kills Tom Lone and his family, Crawford vows to seek revenge by killing Rogue. Meanwhile, there are clashes between 2 parties , the Yakuzas and the Triads and Rogue is right in the middle of everything. The series of events lead up to the climax in a fast-paced and entertaining manner.

My rating : 8.5/10

Review for movie 21

I've been watching a lot of movies recently and I came to this conclusion. The standard of movies is dropping, and you are hardly able to call a movie 'excellent'. The closest competitor, IMHO, is 21. It has a good start, a decent pace, and a nice finish.

Cheaper Iphone ??

I couldn't believe it myself, but its true! Apple has cut down the iphone rate to nearly half of the original price. From 400$ to 200$. Could it mean that Apple has realised that the iphone is not really worth it ?? Or is it just coping up with the falling prices? Probably the latter. In either case, its good news for people like me who have plans of getting a new phone.

Firefox 3

I guess everyone knows, but if you don't, let me tell you. Firefox 3 is what's new right now. Its got an amazing 8 million plus downloads on day one!! I am proud to be one among them !! Lets cut to the point though. The pros and cons of Firefox 3 is probably what you are here for right now.

Pros of firefox 3:
1) They claim it is the fastest, safest, and most secure browser to date and I have no reason to contradict them. I've been using firefox for a long time and I have no reason to contradict them.

2) Greasemonkey works great as usual. You wouldn't find exactly what you want with any other browser. Give it a shot, and you'll stick to firefox for ever.

3) At last, download resume capability!!

4) Not that it matters, but its got a pretty good look and feel to it, I'd say !

Cons of firefox 3:
1) Pop-ups !! People have managed find ways of breaking past firefox's pop up blocker. Its possibly still better than IE but I expected more.

2) The save and quit option that shows up on quitting firefox doesn't show if you have the download window open when you close firefox.

That's it I guess ! Will add more as and when I figure it out.
Almost forgot, here's the download link:
