The mother of all cricketing battles is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, March 30th at PCA stadium, Mohali. It's the second semifinals of the ICC world cup 2011 and two arch rivals - India and Pakistan will be breathing fire and will leave no stone unturned to win the battle.
There is so much hype already surrounding this semifinal match, add to that the political drama, ticketing mess and exorbitant ad rates on TV, this match is sure to blow away the minds of all cricket lovers. Pakistan are on a roll, having won 6 of their 7 matches played so far in the tournament, while India are also on a high after an hard fought win over the defending champions, Australia.
People across the world will be tuning into their television sets at 2.30pm IST (9am GMT) to watch the spectacle. Trust me, you would not like to miss a ball. ESPN, Star Sports and Star Cricket...

We live in the age of computers and information technology. Almost everything these days is done with the help of a computer: writing letters, sharing pictures and documents, doing homework, filing taxes, and so much more. While using computers can certainly speed up our work, it also makes us more prone to data loss and a host of other new problems.
When all your important information is stored in only one virtual location, a computer crash can be enough to cause serious damage to your work, your finances, maybe even your entire life. Admittedly, the computers today are considerably more reliable than they were a couple of decades ago but the risk of data loss remains. This is precisely the reason you should make a habit out of backing up your computer data, especially the important ones. The good news is that there are several tools you can use to create proper backups: flash disks, DVDs, external hard drives, online storage, and so on. There really is no excuse for not having a backup of your computer data.
One of the reasons why consumers used to hang on to their TVs for years was that for years the TV industry introduced very few changes for a very long period of time. Up until the digital switchover, the most significant changes were represented by the introduction of...
"Like an insurgency, PowerPoint has crept into the daily lives of military commanders and reached the level of near obsession. The amount of time expended on PowerPoint, the Microsoft presentation program of computer-generated charts, graphs and bullet points, has made it a running joke in the Pentagon and in Iraq and Afghanistan."I think that anyone who has ever attended a classroom or taken part in a business meeting or conference can empathize with our Power Point-overdosed soldiers. Thankfully, there do exist substantially different alternatives to PPT. One of my favorites is Prezi, and here's why you should make it your presentation tool of choice.
1. It's free.
That something this cool is free was one of my main selling points when I started using Prezi. It operates on the Freemium model, meaning...

There's no doubt that blogging is time-consuming work. You have to produce content, manage comments, and promote your blog using social media sites, at a minimum. Beyond that, if you have guest and co-bloggers, you've got to stay in the loop on what they're doing and make sure they're on the right track.
If you're struggling to manage your time, your posts, and even your team, there are a wide variety of great free tools to streamline your work. Here's a list of free services and sites that can help you keep your blogging house in order:
Chrome is one of the best web browsers at the moment. Recently, it was announced that the next version, Chrome 11, will be faster by 66%. This browser has three trumps for which people use it and most probably, will use it even more in the future:
- Web-page rendering speed;
- Simplicity;
- Extensions.
As Twitter and Facebook users, I was looking for a solution to harmoniously combine these two. Tweet Deck for PC may it be interesting, but I am more interested in not going out of the browser when I read tweets or check someone’s Facebook profile. Chrome’s polyvalence is given by its extensions and the quick install and managing mode.
We had listed down some of the most popular chrome extensions which was updated in Nov 2009. Now that we have many more extensions and add-ons developed, let us have a look at some interesting applications that can enhance your Chrome and web-browsing experience:
1. Speed Dial - Opera came with this function and a Chrome extension can allow you to set a panel with favorite blogs/websites.
2. Chromed Bird – great application to...
