Slumdog Millionaire -Oscar Awards
Slumdog Millionaire is a story about a Mumbai teen who grew up in the slums, becomes a contestant on the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" .He is arrested under suspicion of cheating, and while being investegated,incidents from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers to the questions.
Slumdog Millionaire was the runaway winner at the 81st Academy Awards in Hollywood last night. Danny Boyle's Mumbai-set melodrama triumphed in all but one of the categories for which it was nominated.
It seemed nothing, not even allegations of exploitation of its child stars, could take the sheen off this popular favourite. The pre-teen actors charmed all on the red carpet and at the Kodak theatre's podium, helping producer Christian Colson accept the top gong for best motion picture. Meanwhile the film's director, Danny Boyle, won over the assembled A-listers with his acceptance speech.
Boyle bounced up and down on stage accepting his award for best director, apparently keeping a long-held promise to his children that he would accept an Oscar "in the spirit of Tigger". He thanked his cast, crew and family, the people of Mumbai and of St Mary's Social Club in Radford in Lancashire. He also praised the evening itself. "I don't know what it looks like on television," he said, "but in the room it's bloody wonderful."
Yet until about halfway through the ceremony, Slumdog's fate seemed uncertain. It was neck-and-neck with its closest rival, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, David Fincher's loose adaptation of the F Scott Fitzgerald story about a man who ages backwards, each film having bagged three awards. But then Slumdog snatched two consecutive awards from its competitor: best sound mixing and best editing (although David Fincher's film did take best sound editing, the one category in whoch Slumdog proved unsuccessful).
Soon afterwards the film's composer, AR Rahman, who the prize for best soundtrack and best song. Sandwiched between the awards, he performed the winning number, Jai Ho. Earlier in the evening, Simon Beaufoy had won the award for best screenplay, while Anthony Dod Mantle took the gong for best cinematography.
A .R Rehman won two Oscars !!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!! Congratulations!!!! A R Rehman is certainly the man of the moment.The man who redefined contemporary Indian music and is the pride of the entire nation.Saluting A R Rehman for all the soul reaching tunes given to indian public over last many years resulting in 2 Oscars, with blessings of almighty Allah, his mother and wishes over a billion of Indians.
A R Rehman won two Oscars - for best original score and the song Jai Ho in the Slumdog Millionaire on Sunday at Hollywood’s Kodak Theater. Gulzar too won the award for Best Original song.
2009 is really best year for AR Rahaman because he won Golden Globe, Befta and Now Oscar.
“I want to thank everyone. The essence of the film is optimism and hope. All through my life I had the choice of love and hate…I chose love and I am here,” an elated Rahman said.
With “Slumdog Millionaire”, Danny Boyle’s rags to riches drama based on a book by Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup, the 41-year-old Rahman has stuck gold - and so has India and Indian music.
The film had 10 Oscar nominations, including three for Rahman - he was nominated for Best Original Score and two for the Best Original Song for a motion picture with his songs “Jai Ho” and “O Saaya”. It was another first for an Indian.

How can a Windows virus end up on an iPod?
The word "iPod" doesn't stand for anything exactely,in the sense its not a completely an acronym.The name breaks down into two sections "i" and "Pod".The "i" is the common part of the name given by Apple to its products at the time ipod was released like iTunes,iBook,iMac. And "Pod" according to some source , stands for "Portable Open Database", a software which is used to run the iPod.
In October 2006, iPod ran into a bit of a snag regarding its Windows support, considered by many in the industry to be crucial to iPod's near-complete dominance in the portable media player market. One might think that because iPods are Apple devices, they're not susceptible to the viruses that plague Microsoft's Windows operating system. Apparently, not so. If you bought an iPod video between September 12, 2006 and October 18, 2006, there is, according to Apple, a 1 percent chance it contains a worm called RavMonE.exe. The machine that was doing the infecting was apparently the last Windows machine on that particular production line -- the quality-control computer.
Microsoft Live OneCare
McAfee
Symantec Norton Anti-Virus
Apple says that all iPods shipped as of October 18, 2006, are free of malware.

How to Give Her an Unforgettable Valentine’s Day Gift

First and foremost, consider her personality. I mean really think about the traits that make her unique. Is she a humanitarian, an animal lover, a fashionista etc? Is she a great cook, an aspiring writer, loves the outdoors? Then buy her a gift that matches her personality.
Consider her lifestyle. Does she work 50 + hours a week? If so she could probably use a relaxing day at the spa, or just a facial if you’re a little strapped for cash. Does her home need cleaning or repairs? Do some repairs for her and if you’re not dying to clean her apartment hire a cleaning service to do it for you.
Imagine her surprise when she gets home and the place is sparkling clean, or the faucet is no longer running and you’re ready to take her out for an intimate candle light dinner. Or better yet, cook for her.Consider her needs . Perhaps she needs a new coffee machine, or some other appliance but has not had the money to buy a replacement. If you can afford it consider getting it for her.
Call her friends and find out if she’s told them about any gifts she’s like to receive. Ask whether or not she’s voiced wanting to buy something for herself lately. They might even know about something she really wanted to buy but didn’t for one reason or another. If they can’t tell you anything specific, buy her a gift card for her favorite store.
Be romantic. It’s Valentine’s Day. Whatever you get her, don’t forget to include the card. Or if you want to make her really happy, (happy enough to give you a surprise in bed) write her a love letter. Finally, do not forget to buy chocolates.

10 TIPS ON FINDING A JOB!!!
Times are hard, retrenchments are rife and companies are not queueing up to employ recently qualified matriculants, or graduates, for that matter.
So what do you do if you suddenly find your accounts piling up and there is no job to go to? All is not lost – there is much that you can do.
Let everyone know: Put the word out that you are looking for a job – tell all your friends, your parents' friends, teachers, people at the church and the sports club. Tell people you're prepared to do anything – many an unromantic part-time job that was well done, has led to greater things.
Be on the lookout: Lying in front of the TV moping is not going to get you anywhere – what are you waiting for? The perfect job to come knocking on your door? Check the newspapers regularly, scout the noticeboards at the community centre, listen to the radio. In short, be alert for any opportunity.
Lower your expectations: Many newly graduated people especially have grand ideas of what they would like to do and what they won't do. Fact is, the market is saturated and employers can pick and choose between myriads of applicants with decades of experience. Be prepared to do anything – if you work well, it will provide you with an entry point into a field of work and you can then work your way up. But you need to get in first. Also be modest in your salary expectations – unrealistic demands could lose you an opportunity.
Choose a field: If you want to work in retail management, take any job you can find in that particular environment, and work your way up. If it means starting on the shop floor as a sales assistant, see it as experience you're notching up. Don't get stuck in a dead end job in a field in which you have no interest. Dead end jobs are fine for a while if you need the money to pay the rent, but don't get stuck there.
Offer your services for free: This one has been known to work over and over again. Choose a company you would really like to work for, make an appointment and offer to work for them free of charge for three months. Make yourself indispensable and be a willing workhorse – if anything comes up, chances are you will be first and foremost in their minds as a possible candidate.
Update your CV: Make sure your CV is up to date – if a job possibility suddenly appears out of the blue, you want to be able to produce a CV within half an hour. Waiting two days, while you put together a CV, might just cost you a job.
Get marketable skills: If your skills are not very marketable – after all, how many job opportunities are there for graduates in anthropology or sociology? – equip yourself with marketable skills. Do a desktop publishing course, become computer literate, do a secretarial course – do whatever it takes.
Start your own business: Rather than wait around for a job to appear, create your own. Figure out what is needed in your community – this could be from car washing to babysitting to teaching extra lessons – and do something about it. This need not cost you a fortune to set up – your biggest expense will probably be a cell phone and a pay-as-you go contract.
Do all work as well as you can: Whatever you are given to do, whether it is selling samoosas at the bazaar or looking after kids during church services, do it as well as you can. If you are enthusiastic and make an effort, someone is sure to notice sooner or later.
Be friendly, willing and presentable: If you get an interview, take out the tongue ring – keep in mind who is the one with most to lose here. The interviewer owes you nothing. Don't be a Moaning Minnie – no one wants to work with someone who complains about everything. To get the job, you often have to look the part – accept it

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt take twins out in public on trip to Japan

Pitt clutched six-month-old son Knox, who proved he had inherited his father's fashion sense. The pair wore matching grey sweaters and flat caps for their arrival at Tokyo's Narita International Airport.
Jolie followed behind with Vivienne, who was nestled in a sling and dressed in a white cashmere hat. The couple's other four children - Zahara, Pax, Maddox and Shiloh - were with them for the trip.
It is the first time the twins have been seen in public. Pitt and Jolie sold pictures of the babies to a magazine for a $14 million fee, which was donated to their charity foundation.
The family are in Japan for the premiere of Pitt's new film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
They flew in from Los Angeles, where the couple attended the Screen Actors Guild Awards but left empty-handed. They are also up for acting awards at the Oscars next month, but neither is favourite to win.
Jolie disclosed before Christmas that they are planning to adopt a seventh child, and said the other children would be unfazed by yet another addition to the family. "We have so many children that they are not really stunned any more when kids come home," she explained.
