The 12th October Apple released Windows download that iCloud control panel is provided for the integration of PC-iCloud service, not just the balance is on your contact, schedule and calendar data is essential. But the major problem is that it’s only compatible with Windows Vista SP2 and Windows 7, leaving  many Windows XP users from outside the service.

Here it’s worthwhile to look at the bottom of the instructions I got from stored ifun.de reader Benjamin.

This explains in six steps, methods to install the Control Panel iCloud. This also shows how a slight modification, can also install iCloud on Windows XP. I have not tested the XP installation itself, but the small hack that I found is worth mentioning. Benjamin writes:

The following programs are required:
iTunes 5.10
A Enpackprogramm e.g. 7-Zip or WinRar
Orca MSI editor (download it and install)
The iCloud setup

• first Download icloud setup
• second open the iCloudSetup.exe with WinRar or 7-Zip extract
• third find the file iCloud.msi or iCloud64.msi (for 64bit sytems) and open it with Orca MSI editor
• fourth look at the left table for “after launch” condition.

Then

• in the right table change VersionNT> = 600 on VersionNT> = 200 then Save and Exit
• fifth open iCloud.msi file for installation …
• sixth run icloud (from the control panel) and log

On Thursday, the Delhi Police seized fake currency notes of the face value of over Rs 6 crore from two tempos – the largest haul in five years. That’s more than three-quarters of the Rs 8.4 crore seized in the previous five years.

There are no prizes for guessing where these notes—all bundles of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes—came from. The Indian Express says police chief BK Gupta suspects the hand of a “neighbouring country” in all this. Since the Nepalese, Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans are not known to be keen to help the Reserve Bank increase money supply in India, he obviously means Pakistan.

For quite some years now, our intelligence agencies have been saying that Pakistan has been trying to damage us economically by pushing in counterfeit notes smuggled through our porous borders with Nepal, Bangladesh and even Punjab and Rajasthan.

Now, this boggles the mind. After all, why do we need the Pakistanis to damage us economically when we have been trying hard to do the same for the last few years? We have been fuelling currency debauchery through our own profligate actions on the fiscal front. We have brought the rupee down by policy paralysis and denting business confidence.

In fact, India has been downright cussed in seeing this Pakistani note-printing frenzy as some kind of unfriendly act when it should be thanking the neighbour for all the help it has given us in difficult times.

The fact is the whole world has been in note-printing mode since 2008: the US called Quantitative Easing; the UK has been in loose-money mode for more than three years; Japan has been printing yen like crazy to prevent it from appreciating against the dollar; Europe will soon join the party to rescue its southern fringe from going under.

Our own note printing presses have been going full tilt to feed the fiscal frenzy – at great cost.

It costs us Rs 3.14 to print each Rs 1,000 currency note. It costs 48 paise to print a Rs 5 note. In fact, in 2010-11 the Reserve Bank of India spent over Rs 2,300 crore to print 1,650 crore currency notes of various denominations.

It’s costing us a lot to even print our money.

Enter Pakistan, eager to help. They not only print the notes, but also transport it in tempos and reach them all over the country. They are doing us a favour. And we blame them for economic warfare?

From all the fake currency seizures we have seen over the years, it is clear that Pakistan wants to help us print our money in large numbers. Our intelligence sleuths even think that they have stolen key elements of our design – and find it difficult to differentiate fake notes from the originals.

Clearly, the solution is staring us in the face. The RBI should outsource currency printing to the Pakistanis.

Instead of accepting their hand of friendship in good faith, here we are thinking they are waging an economic proxy war.

How rude.

I love Infographics and these nice and funny set of pictures are trending like anything and I like them a lot. So heres a Angry Bird Infographics that I found on the web and would like to share.

Angry Birds is an absolute epidemic. To date there have been over 300 million downloads and gamers are spending over 200 million minutes per day hurling birds.

The Angry Birds rage is more than just a game,  there are Angry Birds T-shirts, plushies, and edibles ranging from cakes to bento boxes. Mattel has made an Angry Birds board game and Rovio is spreading rumors of a feature length film on the horizon.

Other game creators have tried to match the success of Angry Birds to no avail. For one reason or another, these perturbed birds have captured the hearts and minds of time-wasters everywhere; Angry Turds and/or Chicks’n’Vixens fail to glean much success. After all, Angry Birds did prompt a contemporary philosophical masterpiece, “Angry Birds™ Yoga – How to Eliminate the Green Pigs in Your Life” by Brazilian Hare Krishna,  Giridhari Dasa.

Now that Angry Birds has the Google+ seal of approval, there is no stopping it from gobbling free-time while simultaneously inciting addiction.

Why is Angry Birds more addicting than all those other games? According to psychologist Michael Chorost, PhD:

1. “It’s simple with no learning curve to get going.”
2. “It’s rewarding- we get a primitive pleasure from blowing $HIT up!”
3. “It’s realistic- the physics of the game are just as you’d expect.”
4. “It’s funny- the creatures’ sounds, laughing and backflips.”

Check out the infographic below, “The Global Appeal of Angry Birds, A Story of Psychology, Sociology, and Addiction” by aytm, and discover the psychological make-up of an Angry Birds addict, maybe you will find that you fit the bill.

Shout in the comments  if you love Angry Birds!

I found this page on this website. Hope you enjoyed.

All those who have a website/blog are usually running some statistical tools in order to identify how their website are performing on the internet. The most used tools are cPanel + Webstat. Well I am also in the same league as I use Hostgators Baby plan which comes with cPanel and all included features.

While I was just checking my website stat (which shows that my blog users are constantly declining 🙁 and spam bot are constantly increasing :0 ), I found few very funny keywords that points out my blog. Apart from keywords like “arjun gupta hates exam”, “Arjun have iPhone 3G”, and many more, the best I found was “My Arjun Gupta”. Well this keyword shows ‘Apnapan’. LOL

We have come up with 8 iPhone 5 features that should be a must when it is released, we also put pen to paper and sketched out our own infographic of the features that should be a must in the new upcoming phone, please remember that we are not artists or very good at drawing so please do not dig us in the side about it, some love would be nice. Thanks

Here are the ideas, but please check out our very own infographic below; Number 1 shows a camera and this would feature an 8MP cam on the back and a 5MP on the front, Number 2 = Wrap around wireless charging technology, Number 3 = Rain Sensor and when rain hits the waterproof screen it will automatically give users points-of-dry-interest, basically lets you know all the dry places you can visit if it is raining.

Number 4 = Google Android customer choice, when a customer walks into a store they can choose an Apple iPhone 5 with either iOS or Android OS, Number 5 = Pop-out thermometer that pops out the bottom of the iPhone 5.

• Number 6 = Dual SIM Card Slots
• Number 7 = iPhone 5 with a slide-out QWERTY Keyboard
• Number 8 = The iPhone 5 can detect Android devices near it and sends them a text saying change to iOS

Wonder if any of the above features would ever take off, just a thought. Hope you like our iPhone 5 infographic below and the top 8 reasons why you should get it.

Oh come on readers you know that number eight is very funny, would definitely put a few smiles on both Android and iOS users faces. Now check out our very own drawing that we have put together below, if you know of any features you would like the iPhone 5 to have please do let us know in the commenting area.

Okay there are no doubt many reasons the iOS faithful out there will tell you why you need to purchase the iPhone 5, but what about any reasons not to purchase the next generation iPhone? Well what we have below is nine reasons not to shell out your hard earned dosh on the latest iOS smartphone when it appears at some point.

The nine reasons comes our way courtesy of the guys over at iDownload Blog and is basically a humorous look at the reasons people shouldn’t purchase the iPhone 5 done by the guys over at MacTrast, which can be viewed below.

The nine reasons include such things, as the iPhone 5 will not have a replicator to dispense hot beverages, the iPhone 5 cannot be used as a defibrillator in an emergency, and the iPhone 5 cannot transport you to any point in time and space.

All of which means of course is that Apple’s latest piece of iOS tech isn’t the ultimate futuristic technological marvel the iOS faithful would have you believe, and is basically just a smartphone doing things that smartphones do.

Of course it’s all done in the name of humour as obviously none of these nine reasons actually have any baring on whether you would purchase the iPhone 5 or not, but it does go to show that at least someone doesn’t take the iPhone 5 as seriously as others.

My favourite is “The iPhone 5 does not come equipped with a zombie killing laser,” which is a good thing as no doubt rather than targeting zombies which are in short supply, I figure users would target Android users in an attempt to get rid of the opposition…just joking folks.

As I said earlier, there is an abundance of reasons why people would purchase the iPhone 5, some through loyalty to Apple and no doubt some will defect from other platforms, but we’d love to know why you will pick up the iPhone 5 once it becomes available, so feel free to let us know your reasons by posting to our comments area below.

My personal reasons for not purchasing an iPhone 5 is, firstly I am one of the Android faithful, and secondly no doubt it will be way beyond my financial means.

Oh and if you feel you have another reason for not purchasing the iPhone 5 feel free to share that with us as well, and we’ll see what ingenious reasons our readership can come up with.

Well I am one of those people who are still keeping the 3 year old technology in their pockets. Probably because we all are waiting for the next iPhone to get launched in the market. Well the next-generation iPhone could be a revolutionary iPhone 5 or evolutionary iPhone 4S (or both), donno and we are not going to discuss about that today. But for the purpose of a mild hint we should expect it to be in the market somewhere around October (still it’s too far).

So our iPhone 3G has to survive till then (which is indeed a tedious job due to its very slow processing capability). You can’t imagine how slow this phone is, means it opens the Message App in 10 sec and even after that sending and receiving SMS is soo slow that I have planned to stop sending/receiving messages to my near ones (forget about other apps, using them is a nightmare for me).

While a vast majority of iPhone users are enjoying the new features and performance improvement in the latest iOS, some iPhone 3G users have reported that iOS 4 has slowed down their iPhone, which has forced some of them to downgrade to iPhone OS 3.1.3 (which is feature less for me now).

So after a small search over the internet I found a way to increase the speed of the phone and I am discussing it above.

Here, I would like to introduce a nice and a simple “tweek” that you can use to bump up the speed of your phone.

I started surfing over the internet and found in ModMyI forum that:

Phone 3G apparently has trouble keeping up with indexing, ever since 3.x. Two days ago, I turned off Spotlight search (Settings-General-Home Button-Spotlight search-switch off all you don’t use) because I rarely, if ever, used it.

Up to this day, my poor old 3G with iOS is way snappier than it was before, and I wouldn’t hesitate to say it’s as snappy as with 3.1.3.

So I tried disabling all the spotlight search feature in Settings>General>Home Button>Spotlight search, and now I believe that my phone is little bit faster. Although doing this will stop spotlight from searching any part of your phone but still this tweek make sense to me as I don’t use spotlight at all.

Update: In order to increase your phone’s speed you may also try the following methods:

1) Make sure that your phone have atleast 1GB free space at times, this will help your phone to make full use of the virtual memory.

2) Install SBSettings and stop processes like Safari, iPod and Mail as they run in background and slow your phone.

What was Mahatma Gandhi’s reply when asked what sort of government he sought for independent India? His response was, ‘that government is best which governs the least.’

Now the congressmen can give you millions of reasons as to why the Gandhian principle still holds well in their style of governance. And not to my surprise one billion Indian will subscribe to their views.

If we interpret Gandhi’s view, then he must be a championing the cause of free economy. I am writing this blog from economy point of view and not from politics. Now what do we have in a free economy? We have lesser govement control, much means of production in the hands of private sector, and higher weightage to demand and supply forces. So Gandhi ji was in favour of free economy.

America could adopt the free economy concept because they could make a reliable regulatory environment and hence could create a reliable system for economy where each individual gets equal opportunity. And American economy has been a successful economy (Ignore short term ups & down). For decades they are the largest economy and no nation can ignore the happening in American economy, because it affects all.

Now India.

We have been, since independence, living in socialistic environment but still could not protect human rights in country. The government has always tried to control every thing. They even tried to create a specific mindset in Indian citizens and they were patially successful. Now for our every problem we are blocking the roads in the expectation that government will come and solve our problem.

But think Realistically!!!!

Is it possible that government with a limited budget and limited work force, can manage evrything in social life. Government will earn only if private enterprises are earning, or GDP is increasing. This thing was felt by congress in late 80s. But now, even when we want to switch over to a free economy we can not. Because people are still in mindset of socialism.

Now to the headline.

We can not develop because we can not free those who are producing. Why? Because regulatory authorities like ICAI are big failure in managing its affair. So every time Parties like CPI(M) gets an opportunity to raise the demand of harder government control. And ultimately government has to interfere.

Now either ICAI’s like body change their style of working, and held their members guilty of misconduct or we will be back again under communist raj. (Communism of congress is akin to socialism, and extreme form of socialism is communism.)

Your comments invited.

Thanks Anuj Jain

I am hereby talking about a very serious issue. If somebody thinks that the language is bit derogatory, i will remove objectionable words and apologise unconditionally. However i don’t regret what i am saying.

I think a institute like ICAI is a burden on India and it should immediately be shut down and a new institute up to the world standard be established.

Many of you, particularly who are studying CA or are a Chartered Accountant, will be shocked by my words. I have several reasons to substantiate my views. I know how the CA industry is going as I am a student and have regular interaction with other students.

So here goes the reasons:

The ICAI is a torture on students: The minimum stipend fixed for the students who work like a horse for their CA, who are supposed to be there guardian, is Rs. 1250. It is a well known fact that most of the firm are giving only minimum stipend. at the higher end the stipend is Rs. 2500. Now tell me if i am working for a person, then is it not the responsibility of the person to ensure that i live a decent life. But the ICAI is not bothered about the life of its student. Somebody tell me how the hell on earth can you survive in a city like Delhi. Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore etc at about Rs. 1500. No doubt CA is a tough exam. Suppose i coulds not clear the exam then it would only mean wasting my 3 years in articleship. On the other hand my elder brother is also working as a trainee in a university and he is earning that much that he has bought a Nissan car in just 4 months. This is slavery. I know articles who are making tea for the clients of their CA. They can not do any thing to help them. as ICAI has left no door open to them. they can not change their employer as it is banned. They can not complain against them as ICAI is there to protect them (see next point).
ICAI is a holy shitfor Indian Economy:At the time when ICAI had to show the world that they are serious to make the regulations in India as per the global standards, ICAI is doing everything to protect the perpetrators of Indian Economic Fiasco – the Satyam Fraud. This was not a challange but an opportunity to show the world that in India we don’t let the culprits go easily. We could have impressed the investors that we are serious. but ICAI is protecting auditors only because they belong to them. This kind of behavior suits only to political parties. Look how shamelessly ICAI president can protect PWC auditor: ‘He said the two sacked PWC CA involved in Satyam’s auditing should not be blamed as they got incorrect statements from the company’ – Financial Express, April, 15.
ICAI is an over confident monarchist: I will not say much about this but just have a look at the circular of ICAI dated 27th march, 2009:

“(a) The coaching classes shall not continue after 9.30 a. m. or start before 5.30 p.m. so as to enable the articled/audit assistants to concentrate wholly on practical training.

(b) Members of the Institute who are engaged in coaching be advised not to undertake coaching between 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.”

Have you noticed how Members and Articles are treated differently. I will give you the reason. Members are the vote bank. They dicide by givingtheir vote who will be the next president and all of ICAI. India mein kaun vote bank ko naraaz karega. Another example:

“h) No request for termination of articles is entertained from any articled assistant in general and more particularly during the first six months and also during the last twelve months of articles except as provided in the Regulations. In the event of termination, his articles shall not be registered in the same city.”

I think ICAI is in the illusion that it is over the constitution of India. As per the fundamental rights given to each and every citizen of the country, I am allowed to go anywhere in India and opt any profession. The institute diktat is against the crux of constitution.

I think law ministry, SC and human right commission should come forward to check the fatwa and Talibanisation of ICAI.
