Brock Lesnar Not to Fight Again?

Posted by Shane On November - 17 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

brock lesnarWhat is this man!! A recent news coming from the UFC  President stating, “Brock Lesnar, the UFC champion may never fight again”. Its just shocking to me and also for all Brock fans.

Brock Lesnar is supposed to be facing a hard time in his career, with intestinal disorder which requires a major  surgery. If Brock undergoes this surgery then he may never fight again. This is what UFC President Dana White have  to say

Lesnar — the UFC heavyweight champ — is “very, very sick” with some sort of intestinal disorder, adding  the condition will require “major surgery.”

White is going to visit Lesnar in the hospital and is trying to get him transferred to the Mayo Clinic, one of the most renowned medical facilities in the world.

White acknowledges the current condition is not mono but he will not be specific. White says the condition is not HIV or cancer.

And, White tells TMZ, “There’s a possibility Lesnar will never fight again.”

Brock Lesnar will be well remembered for the name “Here comes the Pain”

I really pray for your speedy recovery and whatever troubling you brock you will overcome it :-bd

leonid_meteor The much awaited  Nov 17 is back to bring the leonid Meteor show down for the people across the globe.

Not all will be fortunate to have a  glimpse of this extraordinary event. From scientist sources, North America will be unfortunate to see this event due to cloud cover. And besides this event will be worth to enjoy away from the city.

If your a country folk, you have a treat to enjoy which the city dudes cant make it up.Also, the Leonid meteor shower will be well seen from the continent Asia.

I have added a You tube video which has the glimpse of what it would be like to see the meteor shower. Watch and enjoy  pal. The interesting point in this video is , you can see the meteors fall right above your head

Windows 7 Review!

Windows 7 Review!

Windows 7 Review!

I am back! after a long break ;) . I was messing around with Windows 7 and finally decided to give it a shot. And so that what brings me here, a review! Before we go into the review. Let me let you guys know the configuration or System specification of the machine in which I tested Windows 7. Here they are:

MotherBoard : Intel 915 GAV

Processor :  Pentium IV 3.2Ghz

Ram : 512MB

Hard Disk : 250GB Segate

And a 16″ Viewsonic LCD monitor

Yes, this system surely does not meet the minimum requirements of Windows 7, so what ? I decided to give it a shot anyway. With all the positive feedback I saw on the internet I wanted to blame Windows 7 for not working in my system :) .

I started the installation process waiting for a warning, but non came. It took over 45mins to install. Thats kinda quick, it looks like W7 takes around 30 mins to install in a system that meets its requirements.

After the installation was done, I got the desktop, The resolution was crappy. I wanted to open and test Internet Explorer to see how much this can handle. But it looks like my network was not connected. I couldn’t believe that Windows7 by default didn’t have my LAN Drivers. Anyway, after about more that one hour of searching online for drivers I finally decided to check if I have its CD. I got it! After installing still my LAN card was not working. Then finally did a manual install from Device Manager to connect to the internet. Everything seems so far so good.

I got my MotherBoard Disk to install the drivers it didn’t autoplay due to some illegal operation. Tried running them manually and installed the graphics drivers and the sound drivers after restart I noticed that the sound software was not working in w7 so after ditching it tested if the audio was ok and it was!

I still had a crappy resolution, I downloaded the monitor drivers and installed them to fix that issue. Now all seems well, I opened more than 10 tabs in IE and didn’t have a snag. I decided its time to install all the Messengers and programs. I installed Yahoo, Gtalk, MSN, VLC Player, firefox 3.6 and Chrome. So far so good no problems yet.

I decided its time for the anti-virus program. I installed BitDefender 2010 Total Security with all the services enabled. Now I started to notice a small snag at the start-up but was normal after that.

I was really surprised that Windows 7 was doing so well in such a crappy system. I check the memory usage it was using around 68% with majority begin used by antivirus program BitDefender.

Its been 2 days so far and I have started using the system normally as I would browse it seems so smooth.

You guys really need to give it a try. Its very smooth and a lots of features that makes life easy. It boots in less than 30 seconds!

It looks like Microsoft finally joined the race in making a better OS. HATS OFF! to Microsoft for WINDOWS 7!

Windows 7

Windows 7Windows 7 , a new OS that is to be released by microsoft  has got many speculations before its launch itself.

According to  itbusinessedge.com,

” Windows 7, the next version of Microsoft’s operating system, is projected for release sometime in 2010. A milestone version of Windows 7 has been released to key partners and some screenshots of the new OS have been leaked, but Microsoft is staying quiet on Windows 7 as it focuses on adoption of Windows Vista. Some speculated features of Windows 7 include incorporation of Vista’s gadgets into Internet Explorer, a virtual hard disk, and MinWin, a pared-down version of the Windows API and core libraries.”

Many  analyst  are numb to comment on windows 7.  The conclusion on windows 7 success will be determined once it goes global
