Who want Joost invitations?

Joost have caught my attention lately, a Video Streaming Software (or call it as Broadband TV) I came to know through Lifehacker. If you are looking for a software that lets you watch lots of entertaining indie English channels, this is for you.

I previously reviewed TVU player in this blog and recently I came across yet another copycat called Sopcast that eventually allowed me to watch ICC worldcup through Banglasmash live streams. Joost is based on altogether new concept, not merely relaying TV recorded streams through P2P. Over the time TVU and Sopcast has became so slow and flooded with Chinese. And yeah, as in real TV you will see lots of commercials with the programs, but not in Joost.

I came to know about a lot of good indie productions through Joost. Joost is more like a TiVo in a sense that you will be able to choose the exact program not merely Channels, and you can rewind or forward when you watch.

Currently Joost is By Invitation-Only download, if someone want invitation, contact me I would be happy to share :)

How to fix Philips GoGear MIX 4GB "Memory is full! Connect to PC and delete some content" issue? SOLVED

1. Install Philips GoGear Device Manager (Which is available inside your GoGear drive, use explorer to locate and then install) In case the device manager do not open, try other, older computer (I had this issue) 2. Second tab of device manager, repair, has all instructions. In summary, connect or re-connect GoGear in OFF position, while pressing and holding volume up key. It says + key, while no such key can be found, it is just volume up key . 3. The MIX will now start recovering/firmware updation 4. You may need to reformat the drive before you can use it; reformat it from windows explorer like how you reformat USB pen drives. Now try syncing!

Science as a Candle in the Dark

I grew up in rural Kerala reading each morning ‘Mathrubhumi’-a Malayalam newspaper. Over those years, I remember seeing small box advertisements on top-corners of the front page; every day I would see different incarnations of similar ads. The ads would read like “scientifically prepared magic amulets to ward off evil spirits” and so on. Even after two full decades, similar ads can still be found in Mathrubhumi and other newspapers of Kerala (and presumably other states as well). The question here is straight forward, what is science? Simply put, science is an evidence-based pursuit of knowledge discovery. Let us consider the example of the previous advertisement, the amulet. The question is how effective the amulet is to ward off evil spirits. Before answering this issue, one has to ascertain the validity of a thing called ‘evil spirit’. Of course, this question evades a fundamental principle in science known as ‘falsifiability’, put forth first by the British philosopher of s

Paris needs to improve its public transportation!

Having just got back after a two weeks business trip to Paris, here are some of my rants against its public transportation system, especially the metro. I reached CDG on a Sunday evening. I went to the RER-B kiosk (Metro to the city), to discover the metro don’t run at that time. Did I hear it right? Metros don’t run on Sundays in Paris, at least on this airport line. There were some boards displayed that informed me that I needed to take “Roissybus”, presumably the name of a bus company, to the city. I needed to get the ticket first and I didn’t find any counter for this Roissybus. I then went to an information desk and they said the RER-B metro ticket would also work on the bus. At the RER-B counter, I chose the option “From CDG to Anywhere in Paris City” and got the ticket for 10.5 Euros. I then walked to the Roissybus stop. A bus came to Opera and I tried to validate the ticket. The machine won't accept my ticket! I was flabbergasted. After all, 10.5 Euros isn’t cheap. If RER-B
