BMW creates a car with cloth

You might say why, once you watch the video you will see why. Just imagine the possibilities of doing such a car. Since its fabric you can change shapes easily to get your desired look and so many colors to choose from so many more designs to form into etc.

Dasavatharam is big in release

This is the first time I have been in a city for a big movie release. It really is a spectacular event.

Here are some of the details

The movie is made at the cost of around 1.3 billion Rs.

Sathyam Cinemas had 14 shows every day and for the first three days all the shows were booked.

First show starts at 7:15 AM and the last one at 10:30 PM

Mayajaal had 45 shows every day and for the first three days all the shows are booked.

First show starts at 8:00 am and the last one at 10:30 PM

I heard that the price for tickets in black were around 500 Rs. And even then they were not available.

Who will start the trend

By the look of it apple should have started because they are the best design minded company.

Still they too seem to be lagging behind in the futuristic laptop design race. When will we get to use these kind of laptops. Come on people start breaking the old trend and start creating new ones.

1. It doesn’t have to fold up like a laptop people it can be different and people will get use to it. It would be cool if you make a laptop that can slide out the keyboard like the mobiles do. And go away when not in use and could be used as a tablet.

2. New materials are available so why not make a laptop like this one, one of the panels could be transparent when no power goes to it. But when user puts into a laptop shape the below screen could show a keyboard that is just a virtual keyboard. It could be converted into a transparent touch screen when it folds up on to the laptop display and make it a touch screen laptop. Without there being two touch screens.

3. If the above mentioned concepts were too complex to design. Then why not this simple design, why not have a laptop that you can snap off the keyboard when you just want to use it as a tablet. You can snap on the keyboard when you want one. This way it will be easy to carry around and when traveling you can share the keyboard of your friends etc.

None of the designs are mine I am just adding to wonderful designs from very talented people.

So companies stop making tag lines and start making trends.

Is it smart to delay the sale of iphone till July 11th

I know they can’t make enough or they have some kind of issue in manufacturing. But is it good marketing to keep people waiting for this long. Its been more than two months or so since the iphone started running out. Not they show a better and cheaper product, but it still can’t be bought.

How many will just get tried of it and buy some other device now thinking they will replace it with iphone when it comes into market.

That’s a double edged sword, once’s people see what’s out there, if they come to iphone they will be disappointed with its lack features and go back to the earlier device.

So is it good marketing to have such a big lead between announcement and sale. Its not like they have other products in similar category for sale in the market.

So they have to be loosing potential customers as the days go by.

iPhone will not be available in India on July 11

I was really excited about iPhone 2.0 even though I own an iPhone. Mainly for its price and its new features like 3G and GPS.

iPhone will not be available in India on July 11th because apple says on its website. iPhone will eventual come to India but only once 3G starts in India. That could take at least up to end of the year.

So its exciting but also very sad.

Those price will also not work in India, I can’t see iphone for less than 15000 Rs.

Even though they say its cost $199 (8358 Rs).

And it will be locked to a carrier who will charge such high prices for services that it will not be worth it.

So long live unlocked iPhone 1.0 and unlocked iphone 2.0.

May be this is what it takes to get me into tennis

After Sampras left I forgot about Tennis. Just like I forgot about Formula 1 after Schumacher left.

If tennis is played like this may be I will get into it again. This is a concept of how tennis might look in future by a sport equipment maker known as Lacoste.

It really looks interesting. Hope future sports are really this interesting. I wonder how football will look. Come on Nike you can do something like this give us a glimpse of the future.

Check out their site they have a wonderful video.

Biggest restaurant in the world is in Syria for now

That’s according to Guinness record. How big is it, 6014 seats in total, that’s how big. Its called Bawabet Dimashq

It employs 1800 staff

Its kitchen is 2500 sq-m which is as big as 9.6 tennis courts.

The whole restaurant is 54000 sq-m which is 10 American football fields or 7.4 football pitches.

The cocks are so fast that they make a dish every 2 seconds. All without loss of quality.

Many more these will come as the population grows bigger and bigger.

Here is where I got those wonderful calculations are from I am not a math genius or anything.

Wireless Internet at home without wifi router

It works on windows xp and you don’t need a wifi router either. You use your wifi access card to setup an wifi hotspot using a special program, so that other devices in your house can use that hotspot.

Really interesting idea I have not tried it because it doesn’t work on windows vista. Try it and let me know if it works.

Recover passwords from programs

Here an article I found that will help you in getting passwords from all sort of files etc.

Some times it could just be the ones that you typed into an IM and forgot or into some mail program like outlook or thunderbird etc.

These programs could come in handy if you have more than one account and it becomes hassle to remember all the passwords.

Use iphone as modem on your computer

I found this article on how to tether iphone to your computer and use the gprs connection on the iphone to get Internet for your computer.

I haven’t tried it because my gprs is very slow and I have a airtel USB modem for Internet. Hope it will be helpful for someone out there.
