YouTube (Famous website for watching videos online) has taken its first steps to ensure that the online video has a place in living rooms around the globe, by making browser-based version of the site that's made especially for viewing online videos on big-screen TVs.

Last January, YouTube launched a version of the site for viewing through a PS3 or Wii, which was fine but the navigation left lot to be desired.

YouTube XL fixes this by adding large text and simplified navigation and offers continuous playback.

Also, if you have a Bluetooth enabled remote, you will be able to flick through the site as you would a TV channel.

The new layout of YouTube XL is impressive. The main box is made up of an easily scrolled list of videos, with big-button categories on left-hand side for easier navigation.

Thankfully, the likes of suggested videos and comments have also been stripped from the site, which makes for much cleaner interface.

If it wasn't for the fact that some videos aren't available due to rights restrictions, we might even want to use YouTube XL as main way into YouTube on our computer, let alone for viewing on a big-screen TV.

Try it for yourself, by pointing your browser to www.youtube.com/xl.

In Part-I we have seen top five console based games. Here are remaning 5 Games of Top 10.

6. Empire: Total War

Empire combines the thoughtful turn-based grand strategy of 4X games with the urgent intensity of real time historical tactical games. Players alternate between the roles of national leader and battlefield commander. Empire focuses that action on Europe and the two colonial theaters of North America and India in the 18th century.

7. Fallout 3

The Fallout universe paints a picture of a dystopian future. It exists in what people on the cusp of the atomic revolution in the 1950s saw as the sci-fi world of tomorrow... if several thousand nuclear bombs were dropped on it. It's a quaint sci-fi view of a future filled with atomic cars, robot servants, and incredibly basic computer terminals.

8. House of the Dead: Overkill

Overkill is a unique Wii title for a few very obvious reasons. Stylistically, it walks the line between AO content and comedic, Tarentino-like cadence through violence and vulgarity

9. Gears of War 2

Gears of War 2 is indeed more impactful than the first. Cliff Bleszinski, Rod Ferguson and company tried their best to create a deeper and more involved storyline with the second game in the series and for the most part they succeeded.

10. GTA IV: The Lost and Damned

The Lost and Damned takes place in Liberty City at the same time as Niko's tale from GTA IV. Though the two share characters and locations, they are treated as separate worlds. Keep this in mind, because anything good in L&D stays in L&D. Nothing transfers to Niko's adventures -- not the guns, the vehicles or the gameplay enhancements.

1. Killzone 2

Killzone 2 is the third chapter in the series, following the original PS2 shooter and Killzone: Liberation, a third-person action title on the PSP. While players don't need to have played either one of those games to understand what's going on in Killzone 2, fans of the franchise will see connections between the three games with familiar characters popping up and events being referenced.

2. Street Fighter IV

Street Fighter has traditionally been a game which focuse on one-on-one combat on a 2D plane. Street Fighter IV lets you select a character and square off against another warrior in the ring. Each character has a variety of normal attacks and Special Moves to take advantage of, but the actual gameplay boils down to a balance between raw physical skill and the mind games that play out between players.

3. Madworld

Mad World's black and white visual style has clearly been inspired by Frank Miller's Sin City. MadWorld, a twisted, warped and razor witted gore fest cum beat-em-up that is guaranteed to send the world’s po-faced into a dribbling, head spinning frenzy the minute they lay eyes on Jack, MadWorld’s Numero Uno, as he drops bad guys ass first on to a rusty spike, before moving on to the next, lamppost in hand ready to ventilate cranium.

4. Halo Wars

Halo Wars' believeable story is presented through some great cutscenes, with high-quality cinematics and decent voice acting. Combined with authentic-looking units and environments, it goes a long way toward making Halo Wars look and feel like part of the series. The storyline is slightly confusing at first but eventually pieces together to make a satisfying ending,

5. Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 is all about evolution. Capcom has gone out on a limb with the latest numbered sequel in its long-running survival horror franchise, and although one of your goals as a player is to survive the horrors around you, this entry in the series is a radical departure from the genre Capcom helped create near Raccoon City more than a decade ago.

Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their TV sets and switch off their lives "

Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the world 
 
@Allan Donald's interview. This interview was in Cricket Talk and 7-8 yrs ago.
 
I was bowling to Sachin and he hit me for two fours in a row. One from point and the other in between point and gully. That was the last two balls of the over and the over after that we (SA) took a wicket and during the group meeting i told Jonty (Rhodes) to be alert and i know a way to pin Sachin. And i delivered the first ball of my next over and it was a fuller length delevery outside offstump. And i shouted catch. To my astonishment the ball was hit to the cover boundary. Such was the brilliance of Sachin. His reflex time is the best i have ever seen. Its
like 1/20th of a sec. To get his wicket better not prepare. Atleast u wont regret if he hits you for boundaries.
 
 
@Peter Rebouck - aussie journalist
On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century.
This Genius can stop time in India!!
 
@NKP Salve, former Union Minister
This was when he was accused of ball tempering
"Sachin cannot cheat. He is to cricket what (Mahatma) Gandhiji was to politics. It's clear discrimination. "

Rechargeable Batteries are given a certain number of "Charge Cycles" Before they wear out, but what exactly is a charge cycle and how can you findout how long your battery will last?

Many laptops, pocket media players, mobile phones and some digital cameras use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that can be recharges a certain number of times before they wear out. Most of the companies define battery life by its number of "Charge Cycle" which generally refferes to the process of using up all the battery's power and fully recharging it, not the number of times you happen to plug ge battery into a power source to recharge it.

For example, say you play your fully charged iPod for several hours and run the battery down half way. At night, you recharge it all the way, and next day you run the battery down to half its powr again before fully recharging it. Because you drained only half the juice twice, that counts as one charge cycle instead of two.

Batteries on different devices have their own estimated life spans based on specific amount of charge cycles and use, and factors like very high or very low external temperature can also decrease the battery life. you can usually find information in the technical specifications for the battery or device, either in its manual OR on the manufacturer's Website.

Dell, for instance, keep electronic copies of its product manuals online at support.dell.com. In the section describesing its Latitude CPt CSeries laptop battery, Dell states that the battery has a life span of 500 full charge cycles or 2000 partial charge cycles at normal room temperature.

If you click on Apple's Website for more information about iPod batteries, you will find that properly used iPod's battery is intended to hold 80% of it's original capacity by the time it gets to 400 charge cycles. the site also has general tips on battery care.

In a small town in America, a person decided to open up his bar business, which was right opposite to a church. The church and its congregation started a campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayed daily against his business.

Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the bar and it was burnt to the ground.

The church folk were rather smug in their outlook after that, till the bar owner sued the church authorities for $ 2million on the grounds that the church through its congregation & prayers was ultimately responsible for the demise of his bar shop, either through direct or indirect actions or means.

In its reply to the court, the church denied all responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons to the bar shop's demise. In support of their claim they referred to the Benson study at Harvard that inter-cessionary prayer had no impact !

As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork and at the hearing and commented:

"I don't know how I am going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire church and it's devotees that doesn't."

Never underestimate your Clients' complaints, no matter how funny
they might seem!

This is a real story that happened between a customer of General Motors and its Customer-Care Executive. Pls read on.....

A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors.

"This is the second time I have written to you, and I don't blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of having ice-cream for dessert after dinner each night, but the kind of ice cream varies. Every night, after we've eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice-cream we should have, and I drive down to the store to get it. It's also a fact that I recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then mytrips to the store have created a problem.

You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice-cream, when I start back from the store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice-cream, the car starts just fine. I want you to know I'm serious about this question, no matter how silly it sounds. What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice-cream and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?"

The Pontiac President was understandably skeptical about the letter, but sent an Engineer to check it out anyway.

The latter was surprised to be greeted by a successful, obviously well-educated man in a fine neighborhood. He had arranged to meet the man just after dinner time, so the two hopped into the car and drove to the ice-cream store. It was vanilla ice-cream that night and, sure enough, after they came back to the car, it wouldn't start. The Engineer returned for three more nights. The first night, they got chocolate. The car started. The second night, he got strawberry. The car started. The third night he ordered vanilla. The car failed to start.

Now the Engineer, being a logical man, refused to believe that this man's car was allergic to vanilla ice-cream. He arranged, therefore, to continue his visits for as long as it took to solve the problem. And toward this end he began to take notes: He jotted down all sorts of data: Time of day, type of gas used, time to drive back and forth etc.

In a short time, he had a clue: The man took less time to buy vanilla than any other flavor. Why? The answer was in the layout of the store. Vanilla, being the most popular flavor, was in a separate case at the front of the store for quick pickup. All the other flavors were kept in the back of the store at a different counter where it took considerably longer to check out the flavor.

Now, the question for the Engineer was why the car wouldn't start when it took less time. Eureka - Time was now the problem - not the vanilla ice-cream!!!!

The engineer quickly came up with the answer: "Vapor Lock".

It was happening every night; but the extra time taken to get the other flavors allowed the engine to cool down sufficiently to start. When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot for the Vapor Lock to dissipate.

Even crazy-looking problems are sometimes real and all problems seem to be simple only when we find the solution, with cool thinking.

Do you Dream of Adding Style to your Home but don't have a lot of money? Following are 5 things you can do that will help your house look Beautiful without spending much money.

1) Declutter your Home: Nothing kills a great look like clutter. Look around you. Do you have paper piles or mail stacks? Do you just add to your knickknack collection rather than rotate your select favourites? When was the last time you swaw the front of your refrigerator? Simple solutions that cost very little money are to invest in nice office trays, pretty bulletin boards and frames for your child's artwork. Make the trash can handy to immediately toss unwanted mail. Taking away the clutter will make your space appear larger and help you treasured objects be emphasised rather than lost.

2) Make display surfaces pretty: Flat surfaces such as mantels, bookcases, and coffee tables are the perfect places to restyle for less. The one imporatant point here is to keep it simple. Bookcases should only e 2/3 full. A mantle should not have mirror above it (a very dated look) - choose artwork instead. Place no more than three items on an end tabke - cluster these varied but related items together for more impact.

3) Paint to Impress: Paint, as you know, makes the most dramatic change for the money. Be bold, be daring and most importantly - don't do white! Choose a complex colour. This simply means if you would use several different words to describe the colour that it is probably complex. For Example; if you said it was a kind of "Gold, strawish colour" than it is probably a complex colour. If you said "just yellow" - it probably is not a very inspiring lok. A beautiful colour on the walls can make the room go from ordinary to extraordinary.

4) Make it Personal: Decorating your house is a job but styling your home is fun. Personalisation is putting your interests, hobbies or values into your decor to really make it your own. Buy simple - read inexpensive - curtains at your local big-box store and then buy exquisite wide ribbon to hot glue on the edge.

5)Change with the Seasons: You know the drill - lighter brighter for summer and darker richer for winter. This easy task of changing the fabric items around the home can help you make it seasonal. Change out placements, bath towels, and accent pillows. The final touch is to purchase a seasonal bouquet of flowers. Decorate your bye spending time not money.

By following these tips, you can make a huge impact by bringing your home from average to spectacular for very little money.

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.

She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."

He said..... "Then I thank you from my heart." As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Year's later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.

Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.
He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.

She read these words.....

"Paid in full with one glass of milk"
 (Signed)

Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed:
"Thank You, God, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."
Now you have two choices.

You can send this page on and spread a positive message.
Or ignore it and pretend it never touched your heart.
