Ali zafar Zooming in: Breakthrough kid
It’s almost 1:30pm — lunchtime — and boys working in the small open kitchen dish out fried fish and crackers for the cast and crew. Soft drink bottles pop open in the distance while dozens — actually almost 150 people — scurry around, deeply devoted to
Asif Zardari’s – List of Local & International Wealth
I have been in receipt of this extensive list of Asif Zardari's Local and International holdings sent to me via a number of sources, in all honesty I have no way of precisely confirming the authenticity of this list but place it on this blog in an attempt to figure out what true what is simply hype. There is little doubt in my mind that this list may be quite close to being authentic considering the massive corruption that has plagued Pakistan in his previous two tenures in power, little to know that the Metamorphosis of 2008 which changed the way he appeared orchestrated after the assassination of his wife on 27th December 2007. Are we to believe in a 'rejuvenated, honest by-the-books leader', or are we gearing up to push Zardari further up into Pakistans Rich List of 2008 where he was previously ranked at #2. I can also suspect that the sudden revelation if this list could be a deliberate retaliation by the 'agencies' to push Zardari on the

Atif has already penetrated the Hollywood and Bollywood markets, but with this project the pop icon bags further glory. Images on Sunday recently caught up with him for a chat regarding the project, his future plans and new Bollywood ven tures, along with

Matt Richardson MacGuyvers a Google Reader pedal out of just these items, zero duct tape (video)
The definition of a good friend is someone who, if you say to them "Gee, I'd really like a foot pedal to advance my overflowing Google Reader feeds," turns around and builds you one. From scratch. In this way we know that modder Matt Richardson is a good friend, as that's what he crafted out of a little electric pedal and a disused keyboard (of the Dell variety). It's not the most complex hack we've ever seen, but it is a good one, and he's happy to show you exactly how to do it in the video below. Oh, and
Pantone's CAPSURE tells you what color anything is, easily separates salmon from rose
For web designers, tools that give instant color codes from anywhere on their display are invaluable. How much, then, would a tool that can do that in the real world be worth? Hopefully you said $649, because that's what Pantone is charging for its new CAPSURE. It's the latest in a long line of tools and utilities designed to help graphics-minded people get accurate color information, a sort of handheld scanner -- just place it on anything and it'll ID your hue in a variety of formats including CMYK, sRGB, and good 'ol HTML. Think of it as a physical eye dropper that won't get your subjects wet, a device that just about anyone who's ever created a webpage would love to have. Sadly, at
Google catches giant Gingerbread man, mounts on front lawn (video)
Cupcake, donut, eclair, froyo. That's not just a list of Android iterations, it's also an inventory of all the giant decorations (along with a large green robot) that cover the GooglePlex lawn. And today marks the introduction of a large gingerbread man. Historically, such tasty statues have been in honor of its related milestone's completion, so we're wagering that Android 3.0 (or is it 2.3?) will be officially unveiled in the very short future. Run, run, as fast as you can to the
TechRestore offers MacBook Air matte screen replacements for $249
The new MacBook Airs may have a lot of things going for them, but a matte screen unfortunately isn't among them. The folks at TechRestore now say they have a solution to that shortcoming, however, and will gladly rip apart your shiny new Air and install a matte screen for $249. That screen will supposedly give you the same resolution, color depth and LED-backlighting as the factory installed one, and TechRestore promises to install a custom black bezel that "matches the look of the unibody MacBook Pro systems and looks, well, pretty awesome." Of course, they don't provide an actual image of the finished result, but they do promise a 24-hour turnaround time if you want to
Ballmer: next release of Windows will be Microsoft's 'riskiest product bet' (video)
Windows 7 might be a massive commercial success and an undeniably rock solid piece of software, but Microsoft is apparently unwilling to rest on those soft and cozy laurels. Asked about the riskiest product bet the Redmond crew is currently developing, its fearless leader Steve Ballmer took no time in answering "the next release of Windows." His interviewers sadly failed to probe any deeper on the subject, but it might be notable that Steve calls it the next release rather than simply Windows 8, while the idea of it being risky also ties in with previous indications that Microsoft is aiming for a revolutionary leap between iterations. We'll have to just be patient and wait for more on that, though if you'd like a
Man with bionic arms dies after car crash
Otto Bock's mind-controlled bionic arms let Austria's Christian Kandlbauer work, play and even drive, but it seems the latter passion may have lead to the 22-year-old's untimely demise. Two days after a road accident where the young man's specially-modified Subaru crashed into a tree, Kandlbauer was pronounced brain-dead and taken off life support late last week. It's not known whether the prosthetic arms themselves had anything to do with the crash -- one was found ripped from his body at the scene -- but both he and his vehicle were cleared to drive by local authorities after

Aamir Khan as Baiju Bawra?
Trust directors in Bollywood to rope in Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, whenever there is a good role in sight. And that is exactly what Krishna Shah did when he had the script of a film based on the life story of Baiju Bawra, the gypsy singer in hand.
The film being stalled for a long time now, reports claim that it was music composer A R Rahman who inspired Krishna Shah to not only resume work on the Baiju Bawra project but also approach actor Aamir Khan for the lead role in the film.
And it was then that the director offered the role of Baiju Bawra to the talented Khan who is known for choosing his roles with utmost care.
However the latest reports from Bollywood claim that Aamir Khan may not be a part of the upcoming movie as things did not work out between him and Krishna Shah.
And now that the actor is no longer a part of his project, Krishna Shah, who is also the producer of the untitled Baiju Bawra project, plans to sell the script of his yet untitled project to a different director who will do justice to the

Katrina Kaif is no longer a foreigner
Katrina Kaif, the not so typical Bollywood style actress initially, mainly owing to her drop dead continental looks and her all so accented Hindi, has suddenly managed to carve out a niche for herself in the industry, which is actually commendable for any outsider, or even an insider of the industry.
Whatever might have been the media speculations about this so called foreigner, she has certainly proved her mettle with each passing movie. Her forth coming flick Tees Maar Khan, will see her in a completely bold avatar, with her oh so hot bod even more toned and in her most
