GTA fans get taste of next adventureSource: metro.co.uk
Gamers were given their first glimps of the latest instalment in the controversial Grand Theft Auto series yesterday. A one-minute trailer posted by developer Rockstar Games suggests Grand Theft Auto V will return to the Los Angeles inspired city Los Santos.
Backed by The Small Faces Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, it opens with idyllic scenes of golf courses and beaches. A narrator asks: 'Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather?' The voice-over goes on to explain he wanted to retire, be the 'good guy' and raise a family. But then the clip reverts to the game's traditional themes, with police chases, robberies and a shot of Vinewood - the game's version of Hollywood.
Rockstar did not give any details about when GTA V would be released. Analysts warned impatient gamers that trailers can appear more than a year ahead. The series, which has often attracted criticism for its violence, is one of the most popular in game history and has sold more than 124million units since 1997.

Vice City & San Andreas on iOS
In celebration of its 10th anniversary, Grand Theft Auto III is coming to the iOS and Android platforms later this fall. Given this technical feat, it's not far fetched to think Rockstar Games could port its more popular sequels as well.
Rockstar is still working to nail down the controls for the new version of GTA III, but if the port proves successful, it may open the door for Vice City and San Andreas to make the jump to tablets and phones as well. Speaking to Digital Trends, Rockstar admitted that recreating the misadventures of Tommy Vercetti and CJ would be a "technical challenge", but that it is "very possible".

ICSE Results to be declared today on www.cisce.org

ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Examination) will be declaring the results of ICSE (Class 10) 2010 and ISC (Class 12) 2010 today (19th May 2010) at about 15:00 hrs or 3:00 pm IST on the website www.cisce.org. As expected the www.cisce.org website is down from this morning signalling that the results are getting uploaded and changes are being made to the website to announce the ICSE results.
As a matter of fact 1,567 ICSE schools across India and about 35,000 students from the city are anxiously waiting for the ICSE results from the board today. Many students are expected to be affected once the results are out since the ICSE results have a direct impact on their future life path. The ICSE 2010 exams were conducted in the month of March 2010 across schools in India and abroad affiliated to the ICSE board.
One may recall that last year round there were a couple of problems faced by the students and also the ICSE authorities due to heavy web traffic and eventually the website crashed. Once the ICSE website crashed the students were scrambled to get to know their results. Hopefully we feel that this year the ICSE board authorities have taken into consideration the problem of heavy web traffic and would be publishing the ICSE 2010 results simultaneously on various websites. The complete list of alternative websites where the ICSE results will be available is here.
Type your index number and send as an sms to any of these numbers from your mobile phone:
56388
524524
56263
51818
Also you can search on Google for the ICSE results by using keywords like ICSE results, ICSE results 2010, 2010 ICSE, ICSE 2010 results, ICSE results website.
Wishing all the students the very best!!

Can your OS make some ice-cream for you? Well, Linux can!!


We have the OS wars raging like the Cold War down under and ready to erupt any given time. In this time, I have a question for you - Can your OS really churn out some delicious ice-cream? Most probably the answer would be in the negative. But if you happen to run Linux - the answer is YES!!

Well, a company called MooBella (what a name to Moo around with) has come up with a rather geeky invention - a Linux-powered ice cream maker which is currently undergoing demo runs in New England. This is not the size of your average PC though for home use, but a full fledged ice cream machine that reportedly churns out Fresh Dairy Ice Cream in 40 seconds and has a whooping 96 varieties. All this being 100% natural dairy stuff.
The ice cream machine sports a 15" touch screen but under the hood it is basically an off-the-shelf PC Hardware that is in use and best of all it happens to runs Redhat Linux. Well, the basic interface happens to run off Firefox too. This seems to be a cool innovation and also a great example of what Linux can do.
I am sure that in near future we will have refrigerators / TVs / ACs coming with a choice of OS like Linux / Android / Chrome / Windows. Any takers yet?

www.kseeb.org website is down already

When everyone is waiting anxiously for the SSLC results we have one shocker - the website where the results are to be announced is down!! Yes, www.kseeb.org is down already and it has a familiar message saying
Bandwidth Limit ExceededThe server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.
The authorities don't really understand the students anxiousness really, else why would the website be down.
But on the other hand, there is talks that since the results are being uploaded into the website hence it has been pulled down. But being a techie myself - it is clearly not the case. The web server has exhausted all the bandwidth allocated to it and hence the message.
Meanwhile, you can get the results from the other websites listed here:

Delay in Bangalore(RCB) - Mumbai(MI) IPL match today due to Explosion


For all those like me who are waiting for the start of the Bangalore Mumbai IPL match. There has been an unscheduled delay in the Royal Challengers (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI) match held today due to two small explosions outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore where the match is being held.
There hasn't been much information coming forth from the authorities immediately on the incident but security has been beefed up and hence the delay in starting the match. Unconfirmed reports suggest that atleast 10 people including a security guard have been injured.
This is a very critical match for RCB who have only 14 points from the last 13 matches that they have played. Today's win for RCB can land it into Semi-Finals for sure, else they will dilly-dally on others losses to get into the semi's.
Anymore updates, I will keep you folks posted.
Update (16:40hrs): RCB Win the toss and elect to field. The explosion was caused by a fault generator - 3 policemen are injured. Security agencies have sanitized the area.
Fire at Carlton Center, Bangalore claims 9 lives : Updated Video

This evening there was a major fire that broke out at the Carlton Center(popular for TGIF) near the Old HAL Airport Road, close to the Domlur Flyover.
Reports being flased on television suggest that 9 folks have lost their lives and 70+ are injured. The blame is on a electric short-circuit. Also, the poor fire management equipment present in the building.
This incident has led to 2 km+ traffic jams in most places around Domlur. My condolences to the family(s) of those who have lost their lives today.
Here's a video grab of the incident.
