It is said that the microsoft's developers have spent some time with Windows 7 Beta 's new touch and multitouch features this week, and came away largely disappointed. According to them, It was not that they didn't work, at least on occasion, it was that they didn't really provide a comprehensive or pleasurable method for using a computer. The primary enhancements to the OS that really made touch usage possible include a taller taskbar, pinch to zoom and tap-and-drag scrolling. There was a fancy new onscreen keyboard that's actually usable, and those quick-swipe gestures from Vista remain for forward, back, copy, paste, undo and redo. It sounds like a lot,ya true that what happened exactly when MS made the fuss about Vista! Interactions are inconsistent from program to program, including Microsoft applications, gestures seem to work when you don't want them, and don't work when you need them, and at least 50 percent of the OS is still too small to use with t

PUBLIC SECURITY: The Sri Lanka Army celebrated its 60th anniversary on the 2nd of October. The victory of defeating the world's deadliest terrorist organisation was then being celebrated on par with an exhibition and a display of armory at the BMICH.

We were suddenly stopped by a posh policeman who was wearing shades at 7 a.m, facing the opposite direction where sun was shinning from. It was a temporary check point that had been set up by police to check the civilians who were to enter the vicinity of the BMICH. The exhibition had the fullest protection. As I stopped the vehicle one policeman came infront of the car having his AK47 on his hands while one came to check my ID card. Two other policemen were on the otherside of the car and when i was about to hand over the ID to the above policeman, one of the two of the side where my bro was sitting told us to move on as there is a school child.

It has been tragic and even awful to hear these kind of stories. Besides anyone can question what is wrong with our people. Some weeks ago all the porn sites that could be viewed by the Sri Lankan internet users were banned or blocked in simple terms. To gain any political advantage or not, it happened in that way. The worry was uploading and sharing pictures and videos of Sri Lankan girls, with or without their consent. A newspaper journalist attached to a weekend Sinhala newspaper came up with this issue first! Why?, Why? & Why? someone would do something "kunu" in this manner? That's what came into my mind at a glance. It is a proven fact that "porn" is a money making industry in the US and some other Asian countries such as China and Japan. Knowing these, were our people trying to mark up to the level of the world's largest debtor's status? The problem in Sri Lankans as I see when it comes to nudity and pornography. They were and are not given p
