			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>yeah, so who&#8217;s counting? If you&#8217;re expecting me to write some sensational news about this, forget it. Just make graphics cards more powerful and cheaper. The two giant chip makers are pitching these multi-core chips for multi-tasking and multimedia, but real-world consumer applications for six CPU cores remain limited, and for now these are likely to appeal only to PC enthusiasts with deep pockets.</p>
<p>The question is whether folks will chase these core counts or stick with less-costly chips and spend the rest on better video cards, more memory and other system components such as Blu-ray drives. While it will be interesting to see just what kind of numbers a fast six-core multi-threaded processor with lots of cache can put up on benchmarks, adoption of these high-end chips is likely to be a long, slow process.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s wait n watch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8217;should I just take it?&#8217; - it&#8217;s a desperate question and it occurs mostly during desperate times. Do I have an answer - no, I don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s asked by everyone in almost every situation - a deal, a new job offer, a new client.&nbsp; It&#8217;s even harder especially when you&#8217;re just starting up your own little firm and working capital is important to you (not me&#8230;a friend)</p>
<p>Key thing to remember; from my experience - You&#8217;re stamped and defined by the work you have done&#8230;and work you will do in the future. It&#8217;s important to continue working and continue learning at all times, the perfect job, client, opportunity may never present itself - and that&#8217;s when desperation starts kicking in&#8230;and hence the question - &#8217;should i just take it?&#8217;</p>
<p>at this point i&#8217;d advice - start re-defining what you want to do and more importantly&#8230;what you are willing to do. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.kiranpk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/district9poster.jpg" rel='nofollow'><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-14776" title="district9poster" src="http://www.kiranpk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/district9poster-202x300.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="300" /></a>Finally got a chance to catch District 9 and well in my opinion it was awesome! Here&#8217;s a brief synopsis of the flick:</p>
<blockquote><p>Over twenty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa’s District 9 as the world’s nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when a human field operative, Wikus van der Merwe, contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable – he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;ve been a big fan of sci-fi movies&#8230;but sadly over the last decade or so - there have been some &#8216;meh&#8217; movies which makes you wonder if sci-fi is truly dead. But this was an incredible surprise. With all the hype flying about, I was expecting some typical alien shoot-em up (or something thereof), but it actually turns out that this is actually excellent science fiction movie making. I would have to say that this is some of the best sci-fi to hit the big screen since &#8220;The Matrix&#8221;.</p>
<p>With its clever faux documentary style, this is the most imaginative science-fiction movie to come along in years. The exhilarating story also features one of the most multifaceted lead characters in a genre film, played with depth and nuance by Sharlto Copley. Amid the suspense and heart-pumping action sequences, there is a heartfelt commentary on xenophobia, corporate greed and apartheid.</p>
<p>Anyway it&#8217;s really hard for me write anything further without giving away spoilers..so I&#8217;ll stop at this for now (also my mind has gone numb). But do watch it..worth the time and I think it&#8217;s a great way to cap off the summer!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the trailer:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well folks as you know I’ve been blogging for over 3 years now and I think one of the biggest challenges you face as a professional blogger is the lack of good hosting. It’s very scary for me to imagine when I wake up and enter my website’s URL to get a ‘server not responding’ error!! Well all that changes thanks to this <a href="http://webhostingrating.com" rel='nofollow'>best website hosting</a> provider - webhostingrating.com</p>
<p>It more than just a provider of space, it also tells you which services suit your needs, the costing, what type of server you need , CMS services etc. They’re able to do this, and mind you, do it very well because they’ve got their act together with some very impressive awards to boot as well.</p>
<p>Just to give you an idea of their services, you can chose from a wide range of hosting – Unix hosting, windows hosting, reseller hosting, VPS hosting, Dedicated hosting, co-location hosting and managed hosting. So don’t think any further if you’re looking for a reliable host.</p>
<p>Also let me give you a tip as a blogger – I’ve known many folks who think that setting up a web hosting service is painful and difficult. Don’t worry – once you set up with these guys, you’ll wonder why you never did it earlier!! I completely endorse their ability. Please feel free to check out their site.</p>
<p>Also here’s a great article from them on how to chose a <a href="http://webhostingrating.com/articles/2009/08/battle-of-the-hosting-platforms-windows-vs-linux-vs-mac/" target="_blank" rel='nofollow'>hosting platform.</a> They’ve reviewed it for the windows, mac and linux environments.</p>
