Download Links for Windows XP SP3:

• Windows XP SP3 Installation executable (Size: 316 MB)
• Windows XP SP3 via WindowsUpdate

Anyway.. this article is aimed at collecting all the bugs and issues at one place for you to decide if its worth upgrading.

1) AMD Computers Crash after XP SP3 Installation (via: tomshardware.com)
 
The problem relates to machines with SP3 installed rebooting and then not allowing users to get so much as Safe Mode. The problem is mainly affecting AMD users who bought their machines from HP. Johansson attributes the problem to the way that HP puts images of Windows onto its machines, using the same copy for both Intel and AMD boxes.

2) Windows Systems Hangs and Crashes after XP SP3 Installation (via: tomshardware.com)

There is another problem with SP3 that has not yet been tracked down to anything so specific that is causing random hangs and system crashes, though at least one can get into Windows itself (unlike the lucky AMD users.)

3) Blue Screens and Continuous Reboots. (via:efluxmedia.com)

Apparently, the up-date causes a series of problems, from random blue-screens to continuous reboots. 

I will continue to update this post as and when I read about a new bug. In case you come across any bug you don’t see on this list, please leave it in comment.

Video content has just started to pickup as we are seeing videos on lot of places other than YouTube. Few of us think its a fad but with cameras becoming cheaper & compact and Internet becoming lightning fast I think Video content is here to stay.

It’s been around for a while now but bloggers had no option of monetizing on their video content until recently. Google now offers several options for monetizing video content.

You can choose from the following available options and monetize your video content:

AdSense for video Beta:
Using this form of Adsense you can monetize on your existing Video content. This technology uses a from of overlay ads on the video. These are no different from any Adsense text ads but on video. Well, because its new and under beta it has certain requirements before you start using this format of advertising on your video content. Following is the list of requirements for eligibility…

• Use Flash player 7.0 or above
• Viewership primarily based in the United States, English language
• At least one million monthly video views

If you meet the criteria, click here to signup! Visit http://rootv.com to see this format of advertising in action.

AdSense video units:

YouTube Partner Program:

What is DVB-T?
Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial is a technology which transmits wireless signals from one antenna to another, from signal blaster to home receiver.

The usual Television Broadcasting Signals such as DishTV or TataSky signals reach the user through the transmitting station to Satellite to Home users. DVB-T in a nutshell works more or less like our regular mobile phone networks which transmit signals from one antenna to another.

This little gadget lets you plug it into any PC or Laptop and starts showing TV channels which can be recorded and watched later. Asus My Cimena-U3100Mini supports receiving and recording of MPEG2 and H.264 TV programs, this USB digital TV receiver also utilizes LEDs and ASUS’ TSSI Technology for quick TV signal strength recognition – allowing users to easily find the best spot for watching TV programs. It also provides a versatile set of PVR functions such as TV viewing, TimeShift and schedule records so users will never miss their favorite TV shows again.

Price and release date of the product is not announced yet, however, we have contacted ASUS PR to get more information on the product.

Similar Products available in the market:
Freecom Digital TV DVB-T USB Stick Freeview  priced close to $55
Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T STICK Nano priced close to $60 (I love the way this one looks)

For our Indian readers who are wondering if this gadget will be of any use in India, the answer is.. Yes! but so far only 5 Doordarshan channels are available on this medium. In another development Nokia has tied up with DD to provide DD channels on its handsets using DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting - Handheld) technology. For latest on DVB India click here.

I wrote an article two weeks ago which made it to the top of the search results for a high traffic keyword. I noticed about 3-4 scrapers having the same article and sometimes ranking over me, which honestly is not a pleasant sight for any blogger. Well I thought this will be taken care off by the search engine quickly, but I was wrong, the site still comes up on the search results with keywords and articles from blogosphere.

I know a LOT if not ALL about SPAM, and I can tell that the spam is getting smarter by the day which is not easy to catch and this certainly is not a good news for any search engine which is trying to fight spam and keep its search results SPAM free.

Following Video Discusses New SPAM Techniques: Speaker: Jake Abernethy

Following are Web Spam research papers published in 2007 which talks about the types and percentage of spam in different verticals and categories.

• Characterizing Web Spam Using Content and HTTP Session Analysis(Georgia Tech University)
• Improving Web Spam Classification using Rank-time Features(Microsoft)
• Exploring Linguistic Features for Web Spam Detection (Joint research by Japanese Institute of Information Technology, Polytechnic University and Pozna´n University of Technology)
• Improving Web Spam Classifiers Using Link Structure (Polytechnic University)

Google launched its popular video sharing site in India. http://in.youtube.com is the localized version for the Indian community.

All three founders are in Pune trying to hire good Ruby on Rails professionals with no luck so far. He was surprised at the situation here, because Rails has picked up big time in other technical hubs of the world but India is still paying the catchup game.

Rails is certainly much in demand but we still don’t have many hardcore Rails developers. The ones which are there are either working on their own projects or are not interested in full time employment or just not up to the mark as they are still in the learning stage.

One of the reasons to this could be that Rails is largely a freelancer, web 2.0′ish language as of now in India because applications can be developed and deployed comparatively faster than in other languages. It’s just a matter of time before Indian professionals catchup and excel at it.

Vodafone plans to launch iPhone in India by September (around my birthday!, GO Vodafone!) but I suggest if you have waited for more then a year now then wait a little longer and get a better version of iPhone.

Apple plans to release a new version of iPhone some time around May or June with 3G capabilities and other upgrades. I think its worth waiting a little longer and get a better version.

3G compatibility for iPhone is important as they plan to launch in places like Spain and Italy where 3G intake is higher than any other European countries. 3G also brings in its share of worries for iPhone users about its price and battery life.

All said and done I am really looking forward to the next release of iPhone as I am expecting hardware and firmware upgrades and also support for 3rd party applications and plugins.

This would have been the biggest scam in the history of bank robberies if he would have been able to get away with it. Jagmeet is currently in jail on the charges of money laundering and abusing trust.

HSBC reported that none of the services were disrupted or customers affected as the fraud was detected in time.

It’s good to see how social networking sites learn from each other .
