Making of Zoozoo Ads and the Real Faces Behind Zoozoos

14 May, 2009 by Raju PP

IPL 2009 is more than half way through and reaching the climax, but it is not the cricket which is grabbing the limelight, rather it is the Ads from Vodafone popularly known as Zoozoos which are making quite some waves. If you thought the initial set of ads (wallpapers + videos + secret behind Zoozoos here) then the next set is even better. The bar keeps rising from one ad to the other. The stock alerts, facebook on Vodafone, Group call and the call divert ads are just hilarious. Now, since the secret behind Vodafone ads is known to all, it is time to know the real faces behind those egg-heads. The picture below which I got through an email forward gives the names of the actors and the ads they were in. The ads were shot at 20 frames per second to make them look like animation. It also helped them cover the bloopers of the baby steps the ZooZoos took as they were blind from inside.

Thesis WordPress Theme – No Big Deal About It

12 May, 2009 by Raju PP

Featured, Wordpress

First thing first - I am no big fan of the Thesis Wordpress theme. But that doesn't mean I reject Thesis as one of the best themes around. It's been more than an year since I started using Wordpress blog publishing platform and I believe it's the best thing to have happened for the blogging world. There has been a lot of discussion happening about how ethical it is to have Premium Wordpress Themes. But then, it is left to the choice of the individual to either buy the theme or look for a Free alternative. Here is where I have problems with Thesis. Go to Google and search for 'Thesis Wordpress Theme Review' and go through each review article and you will find every review will have the affiliate link embedded multiple times (either cloaked or uncloaked)! Yes! You get paid for selling Thesis Wordpress theme and most of the people who review Thesis use it as a mean to make money. Few days back Brian Clark, the co-founder of DIYThemes, published a post on his blog - "what’s the big deal about the thesis theme for... 70 Comments Read More

After the Windows 7 RC was released to the public earlier this week, many users are unsure if their PC is capable of running Windows 7. One such user was Sivakumar who was unsure if his graphic device is capable enough to run Windows 7. As per the official website, minimum system requirements for running Windows 7 is pretty light.
Minimum System Requirements for Windows 7

But how to be sure if your PC is Windows 7 compatible?
Microsoft has released a beta version of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It's simple and a no-brainer. This is a utility that you can run on your Windows XP or Vista machine to determine whether your system is ready for Windows 7.

5 Ways to Watch The Bachelorette Season 5 Online for FREE!

by Raju PP

Online Tv

The Bachelorette is the female answer to ABC's hit series The Bachelor. The Bachelorette follows one eligible lady and the men who are looking for her love. Will The Bachelorette find love, or will she leave empty-handed? The season 5 of this popular reality TV show will premiere this May 18th (monday) on ABC (9pm-11pm ET) and will have Jillian Harris, who was booted unceremoniously after nearly making out with Bachelor/professional moron Jason Mesnick in a hot tub last season. She will now have 30 men who will be emasculating themselves on television in her honor. Tensions mount and sparks fly as the bachelors vie for the first impression rose. Finally, Jillian must eliminate ten of the 30 men, leaving 20 to compete for her affections and, in the end, her heart. I started watching The Bachelorette last season when DeAnna Pappas was the bachelorette and courted 25 men. In the season finale, DeAnna chose Jesse Csincsak over Jason Mesnick. Are you ready to watch The Bachelorette (Season 5)? In case you are fixing your TV set, or working late and cannot watch the episodes on TV or if you are...
