Well .... I happened to find this "Entertainment Shopping" Bidding site called SWOOPO ( www.swoopo.com ) and initially i thought it  is something like eBay  and got registered to the same. But it did not take much time for me to realize that SWOOPO runs on different concept of Bidding. I did little research and read how it works and to my surprise it is something we need to handle with extra care. Concept sounds simple but weird "BIDDER PAY TO BID" - Is it confusing ? It is really that confusing ... every item in SWOOPO website is time limited and there are NO reserve prices so catch is users / bidders need to pay $1 for each and every bid which means whether you win or lose you have to pay for the bids. They claim that total price you pay for product inclusive of Bid amount is way less than that of its original market price and of course it all depends on how many have bid for  the product . So suggesting that it is either clever, even legal, money-making schem...

Disclaimer: Information provided in this post/blog is collective effort of various reliable sources and author is not responsible for any consequences!!!! Hello Folks !!!! This is the Latest rumor taking rounds in the internet and also among the people. My two cents about this baseless rumor. First of all, ICICI Bank, the second largest bank of India and the largest bank in private sector, has straight away dismissed any problems with its ICICI UK exposure to Lehman Brothers Bonds. As per the news, officials of ICICI Bank, said its cumulative overseas exposure is less than 4 per cent of its consolidated assets and the bank has the ability to take any losses, if they arise. Since the day Lehman Brothers declared Bankruptcy, there are big rumors running around in the market about ICICI bank's exposure to the troubled Lehman Brothers Bank and its Bonds. There have been questions raised about ICICI bank's solvency concerns. Needless to say ICICI Bank may take a hit of US$ 28...

I am sure that many of you might thought to change the background color of Edit Control and Dialog. So i present you sample article which servers your purpose. To change the background color of an edit control in an MFC application, you must override the OnCtlColor() message-handling function of the window containing the edit control. In the new OnCtlColor() function, set the background color and return a handle to a brush that will be used for painting the background. This must be done in response to receiving both the CTLCOLOR_EDIT and CTLCOLOR_MSGBOX messages in the OnCtlColor() function. This is also documented in the "Class Library Reference" under CWnd::OnCtlColor(). Look at sample source code: // editdlg.h : header file // //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// // CEditDialog dialog class CEditDialog : public CDialog { // Construction public: CEditDialog(CWnd* pParent = NULL); ...

Awesome, awesome, awesome news!!! There’s finally another program that I am totally stoked to write about that EVERYONE can use to make a lot of real money, with no catch, of course. Revolutionary Money Exchange (RMX) is a company who is taking on Pay Pal! Why is this great news? Because unless you have been living under a rock for the past 5 years you know that Pay Pal is a MONOPLOY! Pay Pal forces people to LOSE money…thus why they are named “PAY pal” – you literally PAY (lol). When you register for a Pay Pal account you are only allowed to get FREE pay pal to pay pal transfers. SO if you want to get a credit card payment you’re S.O.L…well, not entirely, you can agree to “upgrade” and lose about 3% of every deposit/payment (even if it’s a pay pal to pay pal transfer) so you can accept all forms of payment. So then, when you decide you want to downgrade and no longer get ripped, they tell you that you can’t. So for eternity you will pay them 3% of every penny you receive. Let me tell...

Hello Folks !!! Here is my two cents about much hyped Google Chrome Browser. There has been a huge ripple and hype in the web since Google released the Chrome browser. Like many users i was curious about Google Browser and happened to watch Chrome release technical video. At first I really liked chrome, specially its speed and ease of use. As an ardent developer / tester of Microsoft Mobile & Desktop technologies and I like the services that Google provides. When Google and MS competes it is a win win situation for me, the consumer. Google Search v/s Microsoft Live Search Google Maps v/s Microsoft Maps Google Mail v/s MS Mail (Hotmail , Live ...etc) Many situations Google had little or more upper hand but one needs to understand that it is Microsoft Platform which made Google so popular (Arguable item :) ). Now Google is trying to compete in browser are with bigwigs like Firefox , Opera and IE. I am sure you have read many blogs by now hearing praises & appreciating Chro...

Hello Folks!!!! As promised here I am with writing your own GPS Application … Part1. So let us see what the heck GPS is? I remember old saying “You should think that opposite person is layman or dumb while explaining something otherwise your lecture may not reach 100% audience”. I love this concept and try to apply whenever I am explaining to others (At times experience people may be bored with simple concepts but nevertheless I wanted to target dumbest person. Introduction: Our ancestors had to go to pretty extreme measures to keep from getting lost. They erected monumental landmarks, laboriously drafted detailed maps and learned to read the stars in the night sky. They are simply awesome and GREAT!!!! Imagine driving to an important meeting with girl friend and realizing that you're lost. (Ohhh god, please give me enough strength to face her and take the heat from her J ). Your first impulse would probably be to call her and ask for directions (If she is really familiar with the...
