George Bush in a School
George Bush goes to a primary school to give a speech.After his talk he offers question time.
One little boy puts up his hand and George asks him what his name is. "Bob"."And what is your question, Bob?"
"I have 3 questions. First, Why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, Why are you President when Kerry got more votes? And Third, What happened to Osama Bin Laden?"
Just then the bell rings for recess. George Bush informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.
When they resume George says, "OK, where were we?Oh that's right --- question time. Who has a question?"
A different little boy puts up his hand . George points him out and asks him what his name is. "Steve"."And what is your question, Steve?"
"I have 5 questions. First, Why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, Why are you President when Kerry got more votes? Third, What happened to Osama Bin Laden? Fourth, Why did the recess bell go 20 minutes early?! And Fifth, Where is "Bob"? !!
WINDOWS 7 : A REVIEW
This is an impressive article by one of my friends Suryakanta...Worth Reading !!!
Overview:
• To describe Windows 7 in a few words it is Windows Vista with a few new features, with all the bugs fixed, the annoyances removed and the rough edges smoothed out.
• The first public beta is exceptionally stable and solid. By comparison, it is more stable in its first beta release than either XP or Vista was when they were released to manufacturer.
• With very few exceptions, any hardware that works with Vista will work with Windows 7.
• Windows 7 is about 22% smaller than Vista. Some of this size reduction is because things like Windows Mail, Calendar, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker and Contacts (address book) have been removed from Windows 7 and are now part of the download able Windows Live Essentials. The rest is due to tighter, more polished code.
• Every honest review I’ve read about Windows 7 has commented on its performance. In actual performance bench tests, Windows 7 exceeded XP and Vista on just about every measure.
• Windows 7 running on notebooks has shown to be much more reliable with its ability to sleep and resume than XP or Vista.
• The Windows 7 power management tools are easy to get to, and estimates of remaining battery life are generally quite accurate, which certainly wasn’t the case with Windows XP.
Desktop Search
• Probably the biggest advance in Windows 7 search though, is the way that the Start menu search works. In Vista, you can type a term into the Search box, and you get a subset of the total results. If the thing you’re looking for isn’t in that list, you have to click Search Everywhere and fuss with an extra set of options in Windows Explorer. In Windows 7, each heading is a live, clickable link
• Clicking any of those headings opens an Explorer window restricted to just that type of search result and with a much friendlier set of options that makes it easy to scan results quickly
Window Management
• After using Windows 7 for a little while, I find the window handling features to have become automatic. When I go back to a computer running XP or Vista, I find I really miss them.
• Comparing contents two different folders or documents is much easier with Windows 7.
• Expanding a window to full screen and back by dragging it.
• The Show Desktop feature, commonly referred to as “Aero Peek” is used frequently. Some call it “eye candy” but I find it very useful. I keep several gadgets on my desktop.
Improved User Interface
• there are many differences “Gestures" that will interpret your mouse hovering over something as an indication that you'd like to see more information about it.
• Moving your mouse over a Taskbar button brings up horizontal preview thumbnails of each document open in an app, and hovering over one of those brings up a full-screen preview of the document.
New Applications
• Some new apps are included like Sticky Notes and Snipping Tool.
Better Security
• Windows 7 isn’t a huge step forward from Vista in security, but does include some useful additions, including security for something that more and more people are using: USB thumb drives. (Requires the Group Policy editor)
• IT departments can set a group policy that forces USB drives to be encrypted before the employee's allowed to copy files off the corporate network on to the stick, saving IT departments from employing more drastic measures, such as disabling USB ports.
Less Annoying
• In Vista it is the UAC (User Account Control) that is responsible for the incessant pop-ups that ask you if you're sure you want to install this app, or delete that file, or allow access to this drive to this program.
• In Windows 7, the UAC enforcement can be adjusted with a slider ranging from Always Notify to never Notify and two settings in between.
Summary:
• I believe that Windows 7 will be the success that Microsoft had hoped for with Vista. There is nothing really wrong with Vista other than the bad reviews it received. The lack of drivers and the increased hardware requirements got it off to a bad start and it never recovered.

Windows 7 vs Windows Vista
Is Windows 7 any better and faster than Vista? Yes !!!
1. Boots Faster Than Vista
When tested with identical configuration and software packages, Windows Vista took 37 seconds to boot from boot screen to log in screen. There Windows 7 took only 27 seconds, exactly the same as Windows XP but with many more features.
This is attained by loading device drivers in parallel instead of keeping it sequential.
2. Battery Life and Wireless Connectivity Optimization
Windows 7 is supremely optimized for battery conditions and process management. It manages wireless radios better allowing them to drop below 100% power draw while managing the connection. The effort behind OS kernel is also evident. The CPU can sometimes run at a lower frequency and stay idle for long. This results are a minimum of 11%-15% better battery life for Windows 7 compared to Vista.
To better Windows Vista was tough and that too by 11%-15% is pretty impressive.

Valentine's Day Poems
A Valentine is nothing like
A Valentine is nothing like
A chocolate or a rose.
For in a week these shall be gone,
But Valentines remain.
If love were always sweet to tongue
Or fragrant to the nose,
Each day would be like Valentine's,
And we would go insane.
A Valentine just hangs around
Waiting to be kissed
Long after special days have passed
And every days are here.
So one is wise to choose one well
And chocolates to resist.
For in the midst of mania
It's nice to have one near.
Be my Valentine, my love
Be my Valentine, my love,
As I will be for you,
And we will love the whole day long,
And love our whole lives through.
For love has no parameters
And does not end with time,
But is the gift of paradise,
A pinch of the sublime.
So let us take this holiday
To resubmit our love
To those within that know no sin
And with the angels move.
Be my Valentine, for I
Be my Valentine, for I
Each day have thought of you.
My whole life couldn't manage what
Your ready smile can do,
Vanquishing my loneliness
As though all light were new.
Let me be your Valentine
Even as you're mine,
Needing what I have to give
That each might each define
In friendship and in harmony,
Now you, now I the melody,
Each helping each to shine.

when u are in a crowd & when u are alone they stand along with u like a crowd.

Yaaron se doori achhi nahi hoti.
Kabhi kabhi mila kariye hamse,
har waqt SMS se baat puri nahi hoti.
----------------------------------------------
Hum tere sath chalenge tu chale na chale,
tera har dard sahenge tu kahe ya na kahe,
hum chahte hai ki tum sada khush raho,
hum chahe rahe ya na rahe..

How to Change the Color Scheme in MS Office 2007?
Microsoft Office 2007 comes with a default blue scheme and it covers the whole ribbon area and other spaces around the actual Word file or Excel spreadsheet or PowerPoint. This color scheme is quiet appealing but some may like to change this color.
If you are looking for all black or a light hinge of silver to go well with the Windows Vista taskbar then you can easily change the color scheme in MS Office.
So how to Change the Color Scheme or Layout Color in Microsoft Office 2007?
To change the color theme, open any of the MS Office 2007 application like Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Click the Office button on the extreme upper left corner of the application. At the bottom you will see Word Options or Excel Options or PowerPoint Options depending on what application you have opened. Click the Options and under the Popular tab, you will find the Color Scheme. Change the color between the available colors (Blue, Silver and Black) and Click OK. I really liked Black Office Color Scheme as it goes well with the Vista Themes.

How to have Multiple Desktops in Windows?
If you are a fan of Linux, you must be familiar with multiple desktops which come by default. These multiple desktops are very useful to manage the sessions you work at any time. While working on a project you open lots of windows and if you consider taking a break by browsing some sites or reading some blogs you again open lots of windows. If you want to play some games again you open couple of more windows. At the end of all, you have every window in a single desktop that looks more cluttered and it’s hard to manage. So with the multiple desktop you can segregate your project work from your blogging and reading news online from your games window.
So knowing the benefits, How to have Multiple Desktops in Windows?
Recently, I installed Yet anOther Desktop Manager 3D (Yeah that’s the actual name of the software). Yod’m 3D, is very light weight software which allows you to have four desktops. You can make this software to load every time Windows starts or you can activate it only when you needed. This software works in Windows 2000, XP and Vista.
How to use it?
Use Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right keys to move to Next/Prev Desktop.
Use Ctrl+Shift+Up Keys to show a ‘far’ view of the current desktop. Use Left or Right Arrows to move around.
Use Ctrl+Shift+Down Keys to show a ‘near’ view of the current desktop.
Use Left or Right Arrows to move around.
You can also use your mouse to turn the desktop cubes by holding Ctrl+Shift
How to move a Window to another desktop?
Sometimes only after opening couple of sites you feel that you should have opened this in another desktop. It doesn’t matter as you can move windows by shortcut keys.
Click on the Title Bar of the window and while keep holding press Ctrl+Shift.
Use the Left or Right arrows to move it to another desktop and release all the keys.
Wallpapers:
You can different use wallpapers in each of the desktop. Just use the windows option to change the wallpapers.
Easy Access:
