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?

My God! This video made my day!
“My website was on top of the penis …” Haha, it’s too good!

I guess the guys from The Buggles must be impressed with this performance.

I have nothing to add! These guys have said it all!

This is the story of James Karl Buck, a student from the University of California-Berkley who got arrested during a trip to Mahalla, Egypt. On April 10 James and his translator, Mohammed Salah Ahmed Maree were covering an anti-government protest when Egyptian police came and arrested them. The two were photographing outside a police station where the family of those who were detained asked some explanations about their relatives.

Fortunately James was able to send a one word message to another blogger friend through Twitter. The word was “Arrested“. The message alerted all his friends and bloggers in USA and Egypt.

One of the bloggers who got the message, Hossam el-Hamalawy, was writing updates on his blog to let everyone know how was James and Mohammed doing. Every couple of hours James was sending messages saying that he was still arrested but had not been charged.

On April 6 a protest against rising food prices and decreasing wages in Mahalla had been shut down by Egyptian and due to this fact the family of those who had been detained and other protesters got out on the streets and threw Molotov cocktails. They continued the protest until April 10. Then James and his translator went to Mahalla to see for themselves as James was working on a multimedia project on Egypt’s “new leftists and the blogosphere”, a part of his master’s degree thesis. He’s studying Journalism

Finally, James was set free but his translator and friend Mohammed was still detained. Officials said he was released on April 13 but nobody heard about Mohammed.

A few years ago a doctor told me to stop eating junk food, to exercise more, to eat food that contains less fat, not to drink, not to smoke and if I were sick sex was forbidden.

Here’s the funny part:

• Recent studies have shown that in France people don’t count their calories when they eat, the pastries are full of fats, French people drink loads of wine, have sex very often and yet the risk of getting killed by a heart attack is higher in the United States than in France.

• In Spain or Italy people drink loads of wine, they have sex very often, and yet in England the number of the people killed by a heart attack are twice the number of the people in Spain or Italy dead after a heart attack.

• In Brazil people drink loads of coffee, they get laid a lot and yet there are less heart attacks deaths than in the United States.

• People from India and Thailand eat spicy and fat food, they have sex very often and yet UK and USA  have 3x times more people suffering from heart disease.

• In China and Japan people have sex a lot, they eat all sort of spicy things and yet Chinese or Japanese people live longer than most of Americans.

The conclusion? You can eat whatever you want, you can drink as much as you can, get laid a lot cause the real cause of heart attacks is speaking English.

(Thank God I’m safe! :P)

P.S : This is just a joke, please don’t take it personally! If you do, please get out of your mom’s basement and get laid!

One night two sisters, named Math and Logic went out to sell some cookies. On their way home, Logic observed that a man was following them.

Math: “Oh, sister it’s almost night and we’re still pretty far from home.”

Logic: “I hope you did realize a man is on our tail”

M: “Oh, sister! What does he want from us?”

L: “Its pretty logic. He wants to rape us!”

M: “If my calculations are correct we have less than 15 minutes to think of something before he gets to us.”

L: “The only logical thing for us to to is to go faster”

M: “I don’t think this is a solution”

L: “Of course it’s not a solution. He did the same logic thing, he’s walking faster”

M: “And now what? In less than a minute he’s going to be here. What are we going to do now?”

L: “The most logic thing for us to do is to go separate ways. You go that way and I’ll go this way. We’ll meet back home!”

After the two sisters went separate ways, the man followed Logic and Math went straight home. Logic wasn’t there and Math began to worry. After 5 minutes Logic came home.

M: “What happened? Are you ok?”

L: “As I though, after we went separate ways the man followed me. Then he ran after me. After about 1 minute he caught up with me!”

M: “Oh, dear. What happened next? What did he do to you?”

L: “After he caught up with me, I lifted my skirt up.”

M: “Oh, no! Did he hurt you?”

L: “After I did that, he unzipped his pants and came toward me!”

M: “What did you do then?”

L: “As you may find it logic, a woman runs faster with her skirt lifted than a man with his pants down his ankles.”

The morality of the story? Never mess with a woman’s logic!

I always heard that a book is 100 times better than a movie based on the book. After reading Memoirs of a Geisha and Interview with a Vampire I came to the same conclusion.

Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden

I first read the book then I saw the movie. Arthur Golden describes the poor house, the village, Chiyo’s mother in a dramatic way and her sister a bit older. When I read the book I imagined a house that’s one second away from falling apart, a sick woman that looks more like a skeleton and Chiyo’s eyes lighter. In the movie the house doesn’t look at all that poor and the girl’s eyes are not Blue-Grey as Arthur described. Also the thing I hated about the movie was the fact that they gave little attention to the tea ritual and the art of make up and kimono.

There were also misinterpretations of mizuage, the ceremony which Arthur Golden said in his book that consists in deflowering the geisha. In fact the truth is that this ceremony means that the geisha has come to adulthood which consists in changing her hairstyle and clothing.

Anyway, I liked the book better.

Interview with the Vampire - Anne Rice

I read the book after I watched the movie. When I first saw Interview with a Vampire it gave me the chills. The room was dark, everybody was asleep, outside a storm was messing with the town and I was watching Brad Pitt as Louis and Tom Cruise as Lestat sucking blood out of young ladies. Yes, the movie is great but there are things in the book that are much better described and some interesting scenes were cut out of the movie. I guess the movie is just too long and they had to cut something out to make it shorter.

Yes, the book is way much better than the movie. That if you still read books!

If you hate Valentine’s Day and you want to let everybody know that here are some perfect Valentine’s Day presents.

If you’re a man and you’re involved in a relationship, you could give your girl a heart mouse. It shows that you love her and the subtle message is something like “I think you should stop bugging me with all those <what is that girl doing in your Hi5 account?> questions!”
