Raindrops are falling on my head.....

Well, technically, not true. These so-called raindrops are not falling on my head, rather around it. What I do mean by this ambiguous statement is that it's been raining rather heavily recently. The net result: the weather's been quite good, you know. Even though the 'seasonal reversal in wind direction' has taken place rather late this year, it's come, after all. Anyway, due to this nevertheless 'brilliant' weather, I seem to have developed a cold-and-cough. Ahem.

Meanwhile, our exam's are starting on the 14th of October (or somewhere around that time), and I guess I should start revising, don't you think?

I recently created a template for the ExunClan website, which seems to be liked by the greater part of the computer-fanatic population of our school. If you'd like to see it, visit http://www.exunclan.com/beta/index.htm.

The Nano
Apple recently released a new version of the iPod called the iPod Nano, which is nothing short of cool. Slightly larger than the Shuffle and thinner than my index finger, this little wonder sports a 2 GB or 4 GB flash drive, hence is almost as light as a feather. Here are some pictures and demonstrations:




Meanwhile, people from this company called "Ars Technica" were bent on finding out how tough this iPod Nano exactly is. Nothing could stop them. They started off by throwing the Nano from a car moving at various speeds, threw it from 9ft, yet were totally bugged out by the fact the Nano continued playing music and the buttons still functioned. Then they went to the horrifying height of having the poor Nano run over by a Volkswagon SUV! And guess what? Still nothing happened! Then they went and flung it from 40ft high onto concrete! Well, the battered iPod gave up then and fizzed out. RIP. Read about it here.

So, as promised I have set your names, in the Lord of the Rings' Elven font, on fire! Enjoy!

Our Blog
As Karky has rightly pointed out, our blog needs updates - from the name to the template. For the name, please start posting ideas. As for the template, I'm gonna be making one, but after the exams.




CHANGES PEOPLE!!!

Yo, dudes, i think that it's now about time to bring up some modifications to our blog. Well, the template is kinda getting boring(though it was very cool in the beginning!). So, sahil, how about something different? Why not something vibrant?!!! And, if it is possible, can u put some 'entertainment corner' where there are puzzles, sudoku, jokes,etc etc? And how about some different name for our blog like THE REDDEVILS, OR HELL'S DEVILS, HELL'S PEOPLE, THE DRUG DEALERS or just anything? I know the names are bit weird and shabby but they are kinda cool though i know that ur(sahil) taste is completely different than mine's.
Anyways, does anyone have any idea when are the exams starting? I am going to be so dead, haven't started preparing!!!! Yo, divyboy do u HAVE any exams?
PLEASE POST YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS SO THAT SAHIL CAN MAKE THE CHANGES!!!

Worst Virus Unleashed!

WORST VIRUS EVER --- CNN ANNOUNCED

A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee . This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored.

This virus acts in the following manner:
It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title:
"A Card for You".

As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so
that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+ del keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York , according to news broadcast by CNN.

This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself.
So don't open any mails with subject: "A Virtual Card for You. " As soon as you get the mail, delete it !!

Even if you know the sender !!!
