BLINK for Windows Phone 8

Posted: 04 Feb 2013 01:07 PM PST

Microsoft releases a new camera app that mimics the features of the newer Android phones. Burst mode.

Quote:
With BLINK for Windows Phone 8, you'll never miss the best shot. BLINK captures a burst of images before you even press the shutter, and continues to capture pictures after you've taken your shot. It's no problem if you press the shutter a few seconds too early or too late. With BLINK, a simple finger swipe lets you find the perfect shot. Advanced image stabilization technology from Microsoft Research removes camera shake and lets you focus on the important parts of the scene.
What they do not mention in the app description is that the photos are much lower in resolution.

Just thought it might help other users here....


In my case, surprisingly i get better latency on my Tikona connection when compared to my friends Airtel Connection to most speedtest.net servers inside & out of India
*but this is also because the base station for tikona is installed on my buildings terrace & i get wired connection directly from the switch(not the regular wireless router thing)

my current latency to Bangalore server is usually <=20ms but chennai Aircel is 15ms or less at most times:



& to direct tikona server:



& i get these speeds & latency 99% of the times.

My verdict: Check with your friends/neighbors in your own locality before you apply for a new Broadband connection

Having said all of that, Tikona's Customer Care is still a pain, give me a hard time even for the simplest of the queries :(

The Big Wedding

Posted: 04 Feb 2013 12:39 PM PST



Quote:
With an all-star cast lead by Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Katherine Heigl, Amanda Seyfried and Topher Grace, THE BIG WEDDING is an uproarious romantic comedy about a charmingly modern family trying to survive a weekend wedding celebration that has the potential to become a full blown family fiasco. To the amusement of their adult children and friends, long divorced couple Don and Ellie Griffin (De Niro and Keaton) are once again forced to play the happy couple for the sake of their adopted son's wedding after his ultra conservative biological mother unexpectedly decides to fly halfway across the world to attend. With all of the wedding guests looking on, the Griffins are hilariously forced to confront their past, present and future - and hopefully avoid killing each other in the process.
