“You have heard about it, now it’s your chance to catch this gripping series.”
The wait is finally over. Prison Break Season 1 is coming to India. It will make its debut on Star World in the month of March. This is a great opportunity for those of you who haven’t watched it yet.
Prison Break may be over the top and sometimes ridiculous twists and turns. But, that doesnt stop it from being my favourite television show. It’s packed with action and drama. Every episode is an adrenaline pumping, thrill-a-minute ride.
Don’t miss out on this experience. Here is a sneak peak at what you can expect in Season 1.

Hi there! Its time for another longish edition of Opera Bytes. I shall take you through all the hot news and scoops from world of Opera.
Yesterday, Johan Borg posted a rather poetic update in the Desktop Team Blog, regarding the future of Opera. Of course, like everything coming from Opera Soft. Developers, it was vague (and believe me very very vague). You can read his blog-post here. The main revelations were:

• A new (weekly build) build of Opera v9.20 with a new feature (never seen in a desktop browser before), will be unveiled later this month. Meanwhile, you can download the latest weekly build from here.
• The next major build of Opera - codenamed as Kestrel, will aim to further unify various builds of Opera for various platforms. A part from that it will also contain several rendering improvements.
• Kestrel will be followed by Peregrine. This will be a significant update. My guess is that Kestrel will be released as Opera v9.50, and Peregrine will be Opera v10. It will contain significant improvements in the user interface, improved standards support, improved performance, thousands of bug fixes and groundbreaking new functionality (any guesses? ).
• The much requested auto-updater is coming.
• Opera Mail (M2) will also be improved in Peregrine. Tim Altman revealed that one of the most-debated wish list items will finally appear. I am guessing that it may be support for html emails (just a guess). Besides that, the indexing back-end will be replaced, which will hopefully fix a long-standing and dreaded indexing corruption bug.
• David Storey has blogged about the logic behind the codenames. You can read his article here.

One of my major grudges with Windows Vista has been the way it’s start menu works. I am someone who regularly arranges the start menu entry into folder and subfolders. In this way, in spite of having a large number of applications instaled, whenever I want to launch a program I know exactly where to look. But in Windows Vista, Microsoft got rid of the old cascading style start menu. Now, the programs list shows up within the start menu itself (instead of popping out). This is convenient if you dont have a large number of start menu entries. However, if you have a large number of entries organised into folder and subfolders , you would need to click several times to just launch the program. The other option is to use the search feature, but its not very convinient to keep switching from mouse to keyboard everytime I need to launch some application.
Vista Start Menu solved my problems and did more.
