My PSP on firmware 5.0!!!

I updated the PSP firmware from 3.20 to 5.00 and man I did see the difference in performance.... Cool theme... and lot of cool features added.
I really liked the feed reader, internet radio, flash support and most of all sleep timer in Music player :)
Also cool one is connectivity to PS3 and a PC.. now one can browse files in PS3 and a PC via PS3 using PSP... now Sony is really convinced me to buy a PS3!!!

Happy gaming!!!!

Chinese F1 Update

Wow!!! now the last race of the season is the decider for the championship. Probably Lewis is on his way in making history!!
Can't wait for the Brazilian race, it is Massa's home track.. Yuppeee. So we should expect Massa is going to give a tough fight to Lewis, just 7 points seperate Massa and Lewis. Massa can win the championship only if he wins the race and Lewis finishes 6th or below. If Lewis finishes 2nd, he will still win the championship.
Now to the actual race, I am not really sure why Ferrari was on softer compound tires looked to me that it was the main reason for Ferrari being slower to Mclaren. Also after the Massa's second pit stop, he changed to hard compound tires and he was looking much more comfortable and car was doing good speeds. Ferrari should have started the race with hard compound tires. Guess Ferrari should win the Constructors title this year, they are leading the points table now.
Surprising fact is Alonso and Renault.. man that car was good on tracks. Next season should be fun, having real 4 strong teams competing.
I would have loved to see Ferrari one two on the podium.

Well 11 more days to go for the Brazilian race, till then happy waiting ;)

Japanese F1 update

Again what a race!!! kudos to Alonso and Renault, he his back to top again :)
Talking about Renault, they have been lacking in Aerodynamics from more than a year now..looks like they have sorted out the problems :)
It has been a dramatic race, first corner mann..one has to watch it to believe it!!! Lewis was penalized( drive through penalty ) for breaking hard and late at the first corner, which made almost all cars to slide of the track!!!!
Then it was massa's turn, he was penalized with drive through for bumping his rear tire into Lewis which made him spin and move back to the last position!!!
It was a bad day for Mclaren, Heikki Kovalainen's had a engine problem and retired race very early. Lewis did not manage to get a point!!!
Kimi started the race from P2 really well, but due to the over aggressive move by Lewis actually threw him out of the circuit to 5th or 6th place..he managed to finish the race at 3rd place...but he is out of chances from now on to retain the championship :(
Just 5 points difference between Massa and Lewis!!! Guess will have a 2 great races to watch :)

Now with 4 teams really doing good - Ferrari, Mclaren, BMW and Renault. We will have a great race next year toooooo.

HTC P3300

I had switched from Nokia N73 to HTC P3300..well actually this was the very first Windows phone I used it for long time!!!!
It has been a good device, pretty good battery performance. Almost never saw the device hang!!! But i never liked the built quality. I used this for almost 8 months now.
Okay now for my fav thing..listing pros and cons :)
Pros
a) Value for money.
b) Feature rich device.
c) Good Battery, Screen.
e) GPS is really good, especially the response times!
f) App support is really great!! one can find almost anything for this phone..infact I found Apple iPhone's interface for Caller-ID screen and Locking/unlocking the touch screen!!!!
g) Great music performance especially with my Motorola blue tooth stereo headset.

Cons.
a) Pretty Bad camera.
b) built quality is pretty bad. The scroll wheel stopped working many times for me.
c) Pretty bad performance when in low network coverage areas.
d) Had lot of trouble with syncing with Vista/XP machines.. especially my mail box and calender.
e) No 3.5mm Audio Jack.


And of course I did not list 3g and other stuff because this is a pretty oldy from HTC.

The Blue Zone from Andrew Gross

As the guru of Andrew Gross comments on this novel...it is really tense and Chilling. The pace of the book is pretty good. This is the first book from Andrew where the "co" was removed against his name :)
Blue Zone is a term used by FBI when the cover of a protected witness identity is blown!!!
I felt this book is much better than The Dark Tide. Okay coming to the real thing.
This book is about Kate Raab and her family. She loved, trusted her family ( mom, dad, one younger sister and one younger brother). Her father always taught her that family is everything...
Family secrets, skeletons in the closet, would you really want to know, if the truth would destroy everything? Such questions had never entered Kate Raab’s mind. Until she got the call from her Mom, that would devastate her life. Those words “your father has been arrested, come quickly,” made no sense. There had to be a mistake. Money laundering, connections to the Mercado Family, her father didn’t know anyone from Colombia. Or, did he?
With a steady flow of action, suspense, and strong family emotion, The Blue Zone follows Kate as she discovers her life has been a lie. She decides to stay away from WITSEC program, but all others in her family decided to stay within WITSEC program.
Then one fine day she finds out that her fathers missing, her best friend Kate is been shot with a bullet meant for her.
The story unveils from there on... read for yourself to find out. It is a pretty good read. I rate this actually perfect 10 out 10.
