I bumped across this infographic which explains clearly why it is better to buy a pirated DVD instead of an original one with never-ending FBI warnings, unskippable trailers, THX vanity sequences and more before you can start watching the actual movie! You can click the image below for better viewing picture quality.

No, we are not recommending anything here, but just wonder why the hell they allow DVD creators to flag sequences as unskippable. What you think? Let us know via the comment...
Tiger Woods has dominated internet and newspapers for all the wrong reasons over the past couple of months. And now, for the first time after the scandal broke out, Tiger Woods will be holding a press conference early morning today when he’ll confront the public and apologize for his string of affairs that tarnished both his image as a role model and his endorsement earnings.

This is not of any major interest for us which deserves a post, but rather it is about YouTube streaming Tiger Woods press conference live online. This is interesting for a couple of reasons. First, it’s going to get a lot of traffic, as many people will be at work and won’t be able to watch the conference from their TV sets. But it’s also another live video feed on YouTube, which historically has almost exclusively featured recorded content. Remember, few days back YouTube announced a major deal with IPL, where in IPL 2010 cricket matches will be streamed live on YouTube! Not just the sporting events, YouTube has tried live feeds for U2's show as well as Obama's speech recently. But their decision to live stream Tiger Woods's...

Microsoft's Windows Mobile 7 OS has been rumored to get launched during Steve Balmer's address at MWC 2010 later today. This rumor has gained lot of ground after the folks at learnbemobile have managed to grab these pictures which looks like some last minute alterations that are taking place under the covers in Barcelona.

You can see what appears to be some kind of Xbox Live integration, taking up a corner of what's presumably a new home screen for the OS. There are also big, finger-loving notice icons for calls, text messages, and email, with sections for Facebook, Pictures and "Me" filling out the rest. We don't have any more information about this, but we believe these are genuine screenshots of Windows Mobile OS. Don't forget to check out the ways to watch MWC 2010 live streaming in a few hours from now, which will confirm or deny all the rumors about Windows Mobile 7 OS.

ipod-touch-3g Ever since Apple released iPhone OS 3.1.3 earlier this month, we have had guides to jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3 firmware using redsn0w, sn0wbreeze and PwnageTool. But most of the comments so far have been regarding mistakenly upgrading iPhone/iPod Touch to non-jailbreakable firmware versions. Upgrading to the latest firmware iPhone OS 3.1.3 upgrades the Baseband to 05.12.01 which is yet to be jailbroken and unlocked, but iPhone Dev team’s PwnageTool 3.1.5 is available for download to upgrade your iPhone & iPod Touch to OS 3.1.3 without upgrading baseband there by retaining capability to jailbreak & unlock. This guide is for those iPod Touch users who have mistakenly upgraded to OS 3.1.3 and stuck with it. This step-by-step guide will help you to downgrade iPod Touch 3G 3.1.3 to 3.1.2. Note : You might also need to edit your Hosts file in etc folder of Windows 7 if you get an “ineligible iPod Device” error arising from the downgrade. I am not sure if this error comes or not but would recommend you all to do the same to be on the safer side. Note 2: For those who are wondering what to edit in...
