I got this mail from a friend of mine.

Why Bill Gates decides to Sell OFF Microsoft?

Letter from Banta Singh of Punjab to Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft

Subject: Problems with my new computer

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

1. There is a button ’start’ but there is no ’stop’ button. We request you to check this.

2. One doubt is whetherany ‘re-scooter’ is available in system? I find only ‘re-cycle’, but I own a scooter at my home.

3. There is ‘Find’ button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this ‘find’ button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

4. My child learnt ‘Microsoft word’ now he wants to learn ‘Microsoft sentence’, so when you will provide that?

5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows ‘My Computer’: when you will povide the remaining items?

6. It is surprising that windows says ‘MY Pictures’ but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

7. There is ‘MICROSOFT OFFICE’ what about ‘MICROSOFT HOME’ since I use the PC at home only.

8. You provided ‘My Recent Documents’. When you will provide ‘My Past Documents’?

9. You provide ‘My Network Places’. For God sake please do not provide ‘My Secret Places’. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.

Regards,

Banta
Last one to Mr. Bill Gates:
Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but you are selling WINDOWS?

Would you like to know what’s the most expensive mobile phone in the world? Would you like to know how much it costs?

The GoldVish “Piece Unique” is the most expensive mobile phone in the world, according to Guinness Book of Records and it costs about $1.6 million (yeah, American dollars!) This must be a real treat for geeks!

Here’s a quick excerpt  from the manufacturer’s site :

Our aim is to create each cell phone as a masterpiece in its own right. In addition to the ILLUSION collection, GoldVish manufactures a limited range of customised cell phones, with personalised engravings and diamond settings.
The limited editions will be distributed worldwide. This unique and very exclusive collection is only available on special request. GoldVish makes cell phones of unparalleled luxury backed by the highest levels of Swiss craftsmanship and precision. For more details and questions, go to the contact button.

If you think your wallet is loaded enough or you live in the Hollywood high society, order this phone. If not, shut up and enjoy your phone!

His name is Dan Berte and he’s the man that has launched Givedanabuck.com site.

What is it about? He’s trying to make a million bucks from people around the world (yes, that means that one million people would have to give him a buck).

What is the point of the site? Well as far as I read on his site I really don’t think he wants to make all that money for a new car and a five level house. After he will succeed with his project he wants to invest the money in a new web project (I don’t know any details yet, but I’ll keep you posted).

So, the point is: if you want to help just give Dan one dollar, that’s all he needs. It’s very easy and he accepts PayPal.

By the way, this reminds me of the guy that wished for 5 million visitors on his page so he could get laid. But I think Dan is not a virgin anymore and gets laid anyhow!

Isn’t it fun? I must admit, I really thought PayPal looks different, more like a business man.
I’m feeling lucky!

• Steve Jobs and Co. launched the new MacBook Air. It’s slimmer, looks much better, it’s more flexible and light and … it’s Apple. You can see a video about the new slim MacBook Air.

• Also the Congress Library has posted many photos from the archive on Flickr. Apparently it’s some sort of project to show the world what great pictures the Congress has in the Library. Here’s one of those awesome photos already posted on Flickr.

• If you love your dog but cannot understand him this is your lucky century. Some Hungarian scientists have developed a software that translated your dog’s crawls, barks etc. I would suggest you to be careful with this brand new discovery because I’m sure some dogs will not feel comfy now that people can understand them. I wonder if Paris Hilton’s dog could talk what would he say? Or will he be able to act like a normal dog? Read the article on BBC. Woof!

• Fans of Scrabulous have put out campaign to save their favorite game from being removed from Facebook. Why would they want this popular game removed?! I tell you, this seems to be more serious than the writers strike. By the way, why did the writers go on strike? Oh, money … must be funny in a rich man’s world! The Facebook users have nothing to lose but their favorite game. Read more about Scrabulous and Facebook on BBC!
