The Xbox 360 is the successor to Microsoft’s Xbox video game console. Microsoft began releasing information on it through viral marketing campaigns and officially unveiled it on MTV on May 12, 2005, with detailed launch and game information divulged later that month at the prominent Electronic Entertainment Expo. Upon its release on November 22, 2005 in North America, December 2 in Europe, and December 10 in Japan and Mexico, the Xbox 360 became the first console to have a simultaneous launch across the three major regions. It also serves as the first entrant in a new generation of game consoles and will compete against Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Nintendo’s Wii. Microsoft believes that its push towards High-definition gaming, year-early headstart and its Xbox Live online gaming service will help in the console’s success.

Aside from the powerful hardware, the 360 features an enhanced Xbox Live service, with downloadable games, previews, and demos. It also has a game match service that is available for an added fee. Already released in the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan, X360 will be released in Hong Kong, South Korea, New Zealand, and Australia in the first quarter of 2006.

Song for System Adminsitrator by wes.

To Listen this song… Click Here

This Is a song I wrote about some very special people who make sure your computer works.  They’re called “System Administrators”, and they’re very important.

(playing guitar)

There’s a guy who works in another room, or on another floor,

He’s the one you call, when your document ain’t there no more

he’s probably a boy, but he might be a girl, or something in between

he’s the only one in the office who knows what “PC Load Letter” means

He’s your system administrator

he’s probably into comic books

and you tremble in fear when you have to hear

one of his “what a dummy” looks

got a virus, lost your password, or you just can’t print

in an hour he’ll show up and then he’ll crouch and squint,

he’ll fight to save your files, he might be there all day

but sometimes he just presses “caps lock” and then walks away

but hey!  Suddenly my password works!  Hoooray! 

Hooray hooray,

happy sys admin day

I’m gonna buy my guy a gift to say

 “Having you around means I get to stay…

stupid, and uninformed…

and I can keep opening dot e x e email attachments

and forgetting my mother’s maiden name

and I can keep naming files with spaces and ampersands and colons

cause you’ll fix it all for me!

Ohhhhh! 

I’ll give you a cake

I’ll give you a hug

I’ll buy the “world’s best system administrator” mug

just help me out,

system administrator

delete my “recently viewed websites” file

System administrator

restore my network settings so I can find my F: drive

system administrator

Uh… plug in my mouse

system administrator

piss him off and you’ll be fired by tomorrow morn

 ‘cause he’s the guy who knows that you were surfing porn

So don’t forget to be nice to your

system administratooooooooooooor

Before - 7 Bomb Blast in Mumbai

After Bomb Blast -STATUE THE SPIRIT OF MUMBAI

Dear Terrorist,

Even if you are not reading this we don’t care. Time and again you tried to
disturb us and disrupt our life - killing innocent civilians by planting
bombs in trains, buses and cars. You have tried hard to bring death and
destruction, cause panic and fear and create communal disharmony but
everytime you were disgustingly unsuccessful. Do you know how we pass our
life in Mumbai? How much it takes for us to earn that single rupee? If you
wanted to give us a shock then we are sorry to say that you failed miserably
in your ulterior motives. Better look elsewere, not here.

We are not Hindus and Muslims or Gujaratis and Marathis or Punjabis and
Bengaliies. Nor do we distinguish ourselves as owners or workers, govt.
employees or private employees. WE ARE MUMBAIKERS (Bombay-ites, if you
like). We will not allow you to disrupt our life like this. On the last few
occassions when you struck (including the 7 deadly blasts in a single day
killing over 250 people and injuring 500+ in 1993), we went to work next day
in full strength. This time we cleared everything within a few hours and
were back to normal - the vendors placing their next order, businessmen
finalizing the next deals and the office workers rushing to catch the next
train. (Yes the same train you targetted)

Fathom this: Within 3 hours of the blasts, long queues of blood donating
volunteers were seen outside various hospital, where most of the injured
were admitted. By 12 midnight, the hospital had to issue a notification
that blood banks were full and they didn’t require any more blood. The next
day, attendance at schools and office was close to 100%, trains & buses were
packed to the brim, the crowds were back. The city has simply dusted itself
off and moved one - perhaps with greater vigour.

We are Mumbaikers and we live like brothers in times like this. So, do not
dare to threaten us with your crackers. The spirit of Mumbai is very strong
and can not be harmed.

Please share this mail to your friends & others. U never know, by chance it may come to hands
of a terrorist in Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq and he can then read this
message which is specially meant for him!!!

With Love,
From the people of Mumbai (Bombay)

BUT, if we don’t see even a glimpse of that great India in the India that we see today, it clearly means that we are not working up to our potential; and that if we do, we could once again be an evershining and inspiring country setting a bright path for rest of the world to follow.
I hope you enjoyed it and work towards the welfare of INDIA .
