And just think, he made this on a $300.00 dollar budget!!!

It took six months and $300 (US) for Fede Alvarez, an advertising professional from Uruguay to produce a really cool, short film employing giant robots, UFOs and mind blowing special effects. And, when the video was uploaded on YouTube it not only went viral but fetched Fede a Hollywood deal worth a mammoth $30 million - all in 5 days flat. For the full story click here

The bottom line is: this guy has talent. And just think what Fede could have done with $3000.00 dollars.

iPhone Applications Development On The Rise

nobody@vox.com(Synapse India) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 23:32:32 -0800

iPhone has revolutionized the mobile world in multiple ways. Not only is it a favorite amongst all smart phones available but is also cost effective. Since the iPhone has its own operating system, new applications can be added to it to perform additional operations. Due to this capability of the iPhone, iPhone applications development is also emerging as a popular career option among developers.

iPhone has a large user base and different users have different expectations from the gadget. iPhone initially comes with some basic applications that are useful for all users. Later users can enhance their iPhone experience by buying third party applications through the App Store. You can get the best applications for iPhone from App Store and can start using them after a short download.

Even if you do not have any plans of buying any applications, the App store is still worth a visit because there are numerous interesting Apple iPhone apps that come free of cost. Apple takes responsibility of each and every application that is built for the iPhone and publishes it on the App store only after review. Even if you get an application custom made, you still need to get it approved and uploaded on iTunes before downloading it into your iPhone.

The Miraculous Power of Thanksgiving

nobody@vox.com(Synapse India) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 00:35:56 -0800

Thanksgiving is a time where we express gratitude for all the good things we have in life. If we look around, almost all religions emphasize on feeling thankful. Being thankful is not about being satisfied or not wanting more. Thankfulness shows your faith in God and starts a series of positive thoughts in your mind.

Ask any successful person, and they will agree that what you focus your mind on, increases in your life. By being grateful, we focus our mind on the good things we have in life and by doing this, we start attracting the more such things in our lives. If we do not have appreciation for what we already have, their value is reduced and those things leave us soon.

How much we achieve in our lives directly depends on how we feel about what we already have. For example, would you like to hire an employee who is constantly complaining about his current job? A person happy with his current job and looking ahead for better opportunities is more likely to be selected at a job interview. Sometimes, life is harsh on us and we tend to forget the things we have to be grateful for. It is our nature to take things for granted, specially when we have had them long enough.

This might be challenging, but is very much possible. And the results are miraculous!

Windows 7 Release and Using Windows 7

nobody@vox.com(Synapse India) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:09:32 -0800

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer launched the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system called Windows 7 on the 22^nd of October in New York City. Compared to the previous launchings, the event of Windows 7 release, was less hyped. It was a short one-hour event and a single speaker was available to address the audience.

The new Live Movie Maker completely rebuilt for Windows 7 was showcased in the launch event. The Live Movie Maker is not bundled along with Windows 7 but can be downloaded free of cost from Windows Live as a part of the Live Essentials Suite.

Another interesting feature of the new Windows 7 is the “Play To” feature. Windows 7 supports DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) certified devices and can stream media content, music, video and pictures from the Windows 7 PC after detecting the compatible devices automatically in the home network.

About 8 million enthusiasts were chosen for using Windows 7 before the release to ensure that it is beta tested thoroughly. Microsoft has taken special care to ascertain that new OS works well with peripheral devices.Even though Windows Vista, the previous version, received a lukewarm response from the computer user fraternity, Windows 7 has been eagerly awaited. Windows 7 has even broken the past records for the biggest ‘pre-order item’ at Amazon.com in UK.

Using Windows 7 can be quite a delight as it works faster with the UAC issue and compatibility issues of Windows Vista being fixed.

A Good Look at Google Chrome OS

nobody@vox.com(northerngeek) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:20:32 -0800

I must say that I have mixed thoughts about "Cloud Computing". What are your thoughts on this? Is this gonna grow in popularity or is it just another fad? I kind of like having my personal files with me and not in the Net World. How much information about me will I allow Google to know about me? I'm also not sure about the fact that they will only release this for Netbooks. Why not my desktop? Recent reviews on Netbooks clearly show that they have a short life span and tend to fail over time. (I just read a great article about netbooks that I will share as soon as I find the link again...sorry)
