New Year 2009

Tomorrow is the new day but its not same like other days because with this day there will be beginning of new year which store with it next three hundred and sixty five days which will go in history having tag of 2009 whatever will happen good or bad during these 365 days ,of course its really a very long time and if we convert it into hours then it become 8760 hours and for a person this is a precious time and he can do wonderful things with his positive attitude towards his approach whenever and whatever he do any action make the outcome of it unbelievable, can achieve if he have goal in his mind make it reality which appear from distant (past time) a dream and can conquer the world as there is saying :-
So what if we are small but we are big enough to conquer this world
But it demand only positive mind ,strong will power and hard work from its executor and keep on checking in coming days himself how much he is near or away from his goal then keep on changing strategy as per demand by circumstances. When we look around the achievements by the human beings which appear miraculous if we focus as a layman but at the same time if we are in search of inspiration then it give amazing mentally boost that its also created by a human being and creator did it from scratch so if he can do this from zero then I can also do certainly with less efforts and having goal in mind ,as around us everything creation by its creator not physically but by mind like Electronics,Machinery,buildings,achievement on space, Aircraft and its list is so long that I can add on titles and putting commons for days then still I will be specific only for very few.
So I wish that all the reader of this article left behind there negative energy and failure of past , treat them as per below coded saying :-
Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm
And there is no doubt that any action lead us away from our target :-
An attempt may be failure, but there should not be failure of attempt
But its also said on other side of it if we treat our outcome as coin which has two side one we got but its other side also belong to us which read :-
It's wise to keep in mind neither success nor failure is ever final
If our action got us the result of success its simply because we did it with both combination required by any action that is mind and physical strength but if we are failure there was some holes in our approach and move ahead again with below coded saying as source of light and inspiration in yourgoodself mind :-
Failure is opportunity to begin again, more intelligently
Yes yes then this whole process which you started and was dream because it had not taken any shape and was not reality which you was hoping, your action was which is responsible for outcome courtesy your mind, hard work and action ,but we are liable to get only
Whether you believe you can do something or you believe you cannot you are right
So there is necessity to remove the
No
From the lexicon of your Mind.
Wishing all the reader a very very Happy and prosperous New Year 2009.

South Africa Create History in Test Cricket

In the world Cricket from some years Australia had Dominance in the two format of Cricket by name Test match and One Day International and India emerge as Champion its recently added new form that is T20 .In the One day International Cricket it had dominance by West Indies in the 1975 until 1983 when India beat West Indies in the third prudential world Cup of Cricket then Teams keep on performing one two series but there was not consistent performance and no team get the tag of Champion then 1996 onwards Australia was ahead from all the countries and won lot of series they played whether home country or played as touring country until 2007 they were Champion without any controversy and no team was near them, Second format of Cricket that is Test and treated by playing countries and Players the real cricket where players skill, team members patience, mind game and physical strength plays vital role to win the test match and in this format of Test Cricket also Australia was not in the reach of other team, the countries who are playing Cricket and permanent members of ICC are
Australia
India
South Africa
Sri Lanka
England
Pakistan
West Indies
New Zealand
Bangladesh
and no team had potential to challenge Australia until 2007 in Test Cricket ,but the year 2007-08 series India gave Challenge, India won one test in Australia but lost series to 2-1 but throughout series they gave Australia a fight in four Test Match series, and gave sign in the Test Match arena which was going to take place in the very near future, then Australia tour India 2008-09 for a Four Test match series and India defeat Australia 2-0 with this jump to second place in the world cricket test ranking for Australia it’s the beginning of sliding backward but still they were number one team.
After completing India Tour they have to face South Africa in there home country, defeat from India in Test Match series Australian Cricket team was hoping to heal the wound with victory over South Africa as they had very good record in there home soil not defeated after the year 1992-93 series from West Indies which is long period spread over more then 16 years.
First Test was played in WACA, Perth on 17 to 21 December,2008,Australia won the toss and opted to bat first and made 375/10 in there first innings and South Africa made 281/10 and Australia made 319/10 in there second innings and South Africa had to made 414 in the fourth innings which was impossible in the fourth innings as per Test Match History ,but in the mind of South African Captain have stored something else and become part of one of the major performer while scoring 108 and AB de Villiers was other who scored 106 not out also declared man of the match and South Africa won the match by Six wickets.
Second Test Match played between Australia and South Africa in MCG from 26th to 30th December,2008,Australia second time won the toss, again select option to bat first made 394/10 in there first innings and in there first innings South Africa made 459/10 ,Australia made 247/10 in there second innings and South Africa had to make 183 in there second innings and they made this score with the lose of one wicket Dale Steyn declared man of the match and not only won test match defeating Australia by nine wickets but also ahead in the three test match series 2-0,it mean despite one match left to play in the series , it’s result wont effect the series result and South Africa wont lose the series and become the not only first country to defeat Australia in there home country after 1992-93 which won by West Indies but also first time won series in Australia,If South Africa defeat Australia in third test also which is schedule to play between both countries on 3rd Of January next year in Sydney then it will be whitewash by any team in there home country after Pakistan did in series 1982-83 when they defeat Australia 3-0,and it will take South Africa top in the Test match ranking. Australia which was treated team in both form of Cricket that is Test Match and One day International invincible, now no more the team which can't be defeated by other Team .

Jammu & Kashmir : People Verdict

Despite in the season of freezing cold , boycott call by separatist there was enthusiasm among local people to democratically elect there state Government Assembly and it was clearly visible when people come out to vote on election days and turnaround was 63 percent which was first time that people use there democratic right in such percentage , it was 43 percent when election held last time in the year 2002 .There were Local Political Parties like PDP,National Conference, Panther Party and Independents other then National Political Parties candidates like Indian National Congress,Bhartiya Janta Party and they were Candidates for state’s total 87 seats and election was held in seven phases throughout Jammu and Kashmir state because of security issues but election were held peacefully without a single report of booth capturing. Last time there was Alliance Government of Indian National Congress and PDP and they were come up with understanding that both part will lead the state three Years each ( Jammu and Kashmir Assembly has tenure of Six years ) first three years state was rule by PDP and after three years it had time for Indian National Congress to rule the state but through a political move which rises because of very long agitation in the state on the issue of Amarnath Shrine Land which first allotted by Centre Government to the Board but after uproar by local residents Center Government take its decision back it gave Bhartiya Janta Party a political issues which was present in state with only one assemble state to make agitation of this in the state and get mileage from other parties that BJP is very much Hindu Party and they always fight for the benefit of Hindu’s, it make PDP to think again of there support to Indian National Congress before BJP make a political wave in the state ,PDP take back support from Indian National Congress and take state into election because Indian National Congress had not enough support of elected M.L.A.’s.
Counting begins on 28th December,2008 of Election held in state in Seven Phases and because now India is using Electronics Voter Machines which make it possible results declared in hours instead of days when Votes were counting manually and take days to declared all the results, in the afternoon results declared of all the seats and whose details are below coded Partywise :-

Total Seats 87
Seats Required for majority 44

National Conference 28 Seats 28 Seats last time
PDP 21 Seats 16 Seats last time
Indian National Congress 17 Seats 20 Seats last time
BJP 11 Seats 01 Seats Last time
Others 10 Seats 19 Seats last time

Result shows that people verdict this time again is fragmented and not any party in a position to form Government in the state at its own and there is need for two party to talk with other party make a agenda then form a Government, but National Conference deny literally to take support of BJP (despite they given support last time In the center to BJP to have center Government in the India by the name of National Democratic Alliance or NDA ) and also not from PDP and add they have no objection to take support of Congress or other parties .Its likely that after discussion with M.L.A. and there leader Congress president give support to National Conference after finalizing the minimum common program.
This is accepted by all the parties ignoring there performance and seats they won that it’s a victory of Democracy; huge number of turnout by the people prove that people prefer Democratic Government and they have ignore the call of separatist to boycott election, Pakistan uproar from years that Kashmiri wants to separate from India is Slap on the face of Pakistan.Congrates to the people of Jammu and Kashmir for there mandate with record percentage of 63.

26/11 Mumbai Terrorist Attack

India is reeling under terrorist activities in its different part from very long time which is supported ,funded and trained by neighbour country Pakistan through its ISI and that’s why lot of terrorist organization are existing there and they are nurturing terrorist on the name of jihad and sending them different part of Globe but India is worst effective of this, recently on 26th of November this year one more terrorist attack happened in the Indian economy hub Mumbai and places were the Taj Intercontinental and Trident (formerly Oberoi)where as per media reports 10 terrorist were involved, nine were killed and one arrested alive (Ajmal Amir Qasab ) by the ATS (Anti Terrorist Squad ) after the operation which was run almost 59 hours non stop throughout day and night and 183 persons lost there lives and as per reports and investigation till date out evidence pointing fingers towards Pakistan based terrorist outfits Let and ISI ,but despite having proof through interception during operation and interrogation by the authority Pakistan denying there involvement and said give us proof we will cooperate with India if any body found guilty we will take action and they will have to face charges but as per our law and on our soil they wont be deported to India by any mean ,but this time it had effect on common people so much that they were on daily basis doing lot of agitation, people were gathering against terrorist and pressuring on Government to act against so called proxy war by Pakistan that its enough and time has come for Government to take action against there Bosses and must attack on terrorist camp which exist in Pakistan and Indian Government has information where they are and these camps should be eradicate through Air strike. This make Government to fasten its activity with all the option they have in there hands, Indian Government first raises its terrorist issue in UNO where Pakistan was asked to cooperate with India to eliminate terrorism and take action, then India step up its diplomatic pressure on to Pakistan by asking its friendly Countries like China and Saudi Arabia to take action, plus asked Super power America that they put pressure on Pakistan to act against Terrorism, and resulting America Secretary of States Condoleezza Rice Visit India and Pakistan to calm down both countries and asked Pakistan to take action against these terrorist organization whose name are coming again and again after any terrorist attack and they are based in Pakistan. Then India further moving ahead one more step by slapping Pakistan with announcement officially that there Cricket tour which is schedule next year is cancel and cricket is a sport when ever and where ever India tour it has huge following and lot of Money showered ,this make Pakistan immediately to come up with statement that if you have problem to play in Pakistan we can host series in neuter venue but seeing the anger and hatred towards Pakistan among its citizen BCCI reply we cant play cricket until and unless we get clearance from our Government. Tragedy with Indian efforts was that recently Interpol chief visits Pakistan and announced that India fails to give proof in a press conference when he recently visited Pakistan, it give Pakistan some relief to move away from core issue of terrorism and they start moving there army on to its Indian border which is still keep on adding more troops along with Indian border.
Effect of all this Indian Government efforts try to trap Pakistan from all around for not taking action against these existing terrorist outfits, Pakistan Media come up with announcement that Pakistani Government has arrested a person by name Satish Anand Shukla who is Indian Spy and working for RAW also worked for Indian High Commission In Pakistan is responsible for Lahore blast, and the ink of this news was not dry that a Pakistan based terrorist group Anwar Wa Mohajir take responsibility of this blast, and on 26 December,2008 Indian Government’s MEA Issue warning to its its citizen not to visit or stay Pakistan as its not safe for Indian. These all the news coming from Media whom we can further divide into two one is print media and second is electronic media, and out of these two, electronic media is so powerful and have strong impact on to Indian common people as in India here dozens of 24 hours news channel exist who are airing news in such a way that they make anything normal to sensational just to appear different from lot, but with there sensational way of presenting news making common people think that we are just near to war and it can held at any time and they should consider themselves that they are only a processor not final authority which is Government, and its concern ministry is taking every best step available which will make Pakistan to act against terrorist .

Hotmail : a brief History

Commercially launched on 4 July,1996,it’s the day of America Independence which just symbolizes freedom from Internet service provider and user can check his mail from anywhere in the world he is, Window Live Mail formerly known as MSN Hotmail but it’s commonly famous among net user Hotmail , its available in two version free and paid ,service provider is Microsoft. It was founded in 1996 by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith . It was one of the free webmail service, In the year 1997 it was taken over by Microsoft for $400 and rename as ‘MSN Hotmail’ and on 1st November2005 it officially announced as Window Live Hotmail and after test in beta form it officially released in Netherlands on 9th November,2006 as pilot market for existing and new user. The world wide release was on 7 May,2007 and roll out release was completed to all existing user was on October,2007.
Window Live Hotmail features 5 GB of free storage, patent security measures,Ajax technology,and it is integrated with Window live messenger,Spaces,Calendar n contacts,it has 260 million user worldwide and available in worlds 35 different languages.
Just like other webmail services Hotmail use Ajax programming techniques n support popular browsers Interne Explorer & Mozilla Firefox and to name its features keyboard controls so that user has not to use all the time mouse to navigate,search,rich text formatting,spam filtering,virus scanning,support for multiple addresses,and worlds different language versions.User can opt from two different versions of Hotmail Classic version which has interface and layout based on Hotmail,when user use full version it get some advance features like reading pane a more advance interface style like of Microsoft Outlook. Hotmail also add some capability which not found other webmail service provider.
User make folders and store email,photos and other info,even can send direct mail to specific folders with some settings,message store and kept in Draft folder never delted it has to be deleted by user but junk folder messages deleted after specific period at aits own.Lot of Window live services are integrated with mail from where one can use other services from single click like Messanger,Window Live Spaces,Contact,Calendar,
The redesign of Hotmail was centered around an Outlook-style appearance, with a reading pane to view the inbox and messages at the same time, drag-and-drop functionality, keyboard selects for using the Ctrl or Shift keys to select messages and right-click context menus. As with Outlook, the reading pane can be displayed at the side of messages, below them, or not at all.
Security features built into Hotmail include Trend Micro virus scanning, Sender ID, SMTP Authentication, phishing heuristic detection, Bonded Sender, mailing list detection, and forwarding detection. Potentially unsafe mail is caught by Hotmail and it does not open the message or allow access to an attachment until the user requests that it do so; this is intended to reduce the success of phishing attempts. A "safety bar" is positioned above each message as a notification to the user as to whether the sender is known and if the mail content is potentially dangerous.
Like Office application of Microsoft Word Hotmail has a unique feature of spell checking whenever some body write if its misspelled it immediately highlight with red line and with right click option it display option,but recently it remove in Window live Latest version.
Hotmail user get a lot of choices to choose from predefine themes and when ever any body opt theme it effective all the related services of Window Live.

Upon registration, new users can choose from a Hotmail domain address (e.g. @hotmail.com, @hotmail.co.uk, @hotmail.fr) or a localized Windows Live domain (e.g. @live.com, @live.ca, @live.co.uk, @live.fr, @live.com.au, @live.nl).
The domain Live.com attracted at least 922 million visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com study. Hotmail in the beginning backed by Venture Capital firm by name Draper Fisher Jurvetson and up to Dec, 1997 it had 8.5 million user, and on above coded date it was sold to Microsoft $400 million, and become one of the service of MSN Group and when it become localize for different market of world become one of largest webmail service, and when calendar touch the month of Feb. of 1999 it had 30 million active user.
In December,1999 Microsoft ignore to pay their annual registration fee to Network Solutions which was $35’passport.com” and this negligence made Hotmail used for authentication detach on Christmas Eve, December 24.Mr.Michale Chaney a Linux Consultant paid the next in just hope that it will solve the problem, and money given make the downed site being available, very next morning,and later on same type of problem reoccurred when Microsoft missed with there hotmail.co.uk address, but they were lucky that time that there was no downtime, this time it was helped by Good Samaritan.
Hotmail originally ran on a mixture of FreeBSD and Solaris operating systems. Microsoft initially tried to move the FreeBSD portion of the architecture to a Windows NT 4.0 based system, but this failed. Later a project was started to move the system to Windows 2000. In June 2001 Microsoft claimed this had been completed; a few days later they retracted this and admitted that in fact some functions of the Hotmail system were still reliant on FreeBSD.
Later development saw the service tied with Microsoft's web authentication scheme, Passport (now Windows Live ID), and integration with Microsoft's instant messaging and social networking programs, MSN Messenger and MSN Spaces (now Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Spaces, respectively). A security issue appeared in Hotmail during this period that permitted anybody to log into any Hotmail account using the password 'eh'; it was at the time called "the most widespread security incident in the history of the Web."
Then there was stagnation of technology only until the year came of 2004 and month was April when Google jump in the webmail arena with there gmail and come up with very first time space of 1 GB , speed and interface flexibility, this new competitor spurred a wave of innovation in webmail. Big player of webmail Hotmail n Yahoo come under the pressure to upgrade there email service..
Then Microsoft come up with new email on 1st November,2005 with the codename of "Kahuna", which was released only few user for test in BETA form. Other webmail enthusiasts also wanting to try the beta version could request an invitation granting access. The new service was built from scratch and emphasized three main concepts of being "faster, simpler and safer". New versions of the beta service were rolled out over the development period, and by the end of 2006 the number of beta testers had reached the millions.

The Hotmail brand was planned to be phased-out when Microsoft announced that the new mail system would be called Windows Live Mail, but the developers soon backtracked after beta-testers were confused with the name change and preferred the already well-known Hotmail name, and decided on Windows Live Hotmail. Development of the beta was finished in April 2007, Windows Live Hotmail was released to new registrations in May 2007, and the 260 million MSN Hotmail accounts worldwide now have access to the new system. The old MSN Hotmail interface was accessible only by users who signed up for Hotmail accounts before the Windows Live Hotmail release date and had not chosen to update to the new Windows Live Hotmail.
The Hotmail development and operations teams are based in Mountain View, California.
In the year 2008 It was announced on the Windows Live Hotmail website that Windows Live Hotmail will be updated with having focus on improving the speed, will increasing the storage space from mere MB to GB, better user experience and usability features. It was announced that sign-in and email access speeds will be up to 70 percent faster. Windows Live Hotmail is also expected to integrate with Windows Live Web Messenger to provide instant messaging from the web interface. The classic and full versions of Windows Live Hotmail will also be combined with the new release.
Windows Live Hotmail was awarded PC Magazine's Editor's Choice Award in February 2007 and again in March 2007 with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
As it is problem with web based email pf spammer which is used by the person for marketing and chain mailing,because of its wide availability, its popularity, and its ease of registration of new accounts. However, Hotmail does not tolerate this practice, and accounts engaging in these activities are terminated without warning.


In 2001 Hotmail service was compromised by computer hackers who discovered that anyone could log into their Hotmail account and then call messages from any other Hotmail account by crafting a URL with the second account's username and a valid message number. It was such an incredibly simple attack that by the time the patch was made, dozens of newspapers and hundreds of web sites published exact descriptions allowing tens-of-thousands of hackers to run rampant across Hotmail. The exploitable vulnerability exposed millions of accounts to tampering between August 7 and 31, 2001.
Microsoft's spam filter is known to discard legitimate emails without warning the receiving user. These emails are acknowledged to the sending user as having been successfully delivered, however they will not appear on the receiver's inbox or junk mail-folder. Mainly affecting small websites' registration procedures, this issue has prompted some sites to ban Microsoft emails altogether.

Hotmail is often criticized for allowing only paying subscribers to access it through the WebDAV protocol, which allows e-mails to be downloaded locally via a desktop e-mail client such as Microsoft Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird (with the Web Mail extension). WebDAV access was originally available to all Hotmail users, but the service was revoked from new free users since 2004. If a Hotmail account was older than 2004, it was still possible for users to freely access their Hotmail account outside of an internet browser with the above-mentioned programs using WebDAV. If users had a newer account, WebDAV access was only available in Hotmail Premium. In April 2008, Microsoft announced that Hotmail access through WebDAV would be entirely discontinued by June 30, 2008, in favor of the Microsoft-proprietary DeltaSync protocol, citing "obsolescence" of DAV and "greater capabilities" of DeltaSync as the reasons for discontinuing WebDAV support. In May 2008, Microsoft informed that WebDAV will be available longer, not giving a new deadline
For access through Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007, users can download the free Microsoft Office Outlook Connector, subject to passing the Office Genuine Advantage verification. Using the Outlook connector, users can freely access e-mail messages and contacts in any Hotmail account, though access to calendar, tasks and notes requires a premium subscription in addition to the original cost of the Outlook product. Another alternative for users is to use the Windows Live Mail desktop client which has built-in support for Hotmail. Both applications, Windows Live Mail and Microsoft Outlook can access Hotmail through the proprietary DeltaSync protocol.
POP3 access is now available for Hotmail Plus accounts as of Nov 2008. Hotmail plus costs $19.95 for each year the user is subscribed to the service. There are plans to offer POP access to all accounts, but this is not yet in effect.
A complaint which is quite common among its user is that when ever the email forward from hotmail it automatically insert advertisement, but its new avatar Windows Live Mail, however, do not carry automatically-added advertisements.]
On July 29, 2008, the full version of Windows Live Hotmail started to work correctly in Firefox 3 for some accounts. Support seems to be gradually rolling out to the various Windows Live Hotmail servers. As of August 26, 2008, Firefox 3 support is still not fully complete. Full version support for Google Chrome was also added on November 4, 2008. On October 30, 2008 some account holders using various Linux based browsers started experiencing read-only access. However, with the use of a user agent switcher to dupe Hotmail into thinking the user is accessing from Windows, normal functionality is restored, which indicates that Windows Live Hotmail is only allowing certain browsers at the moment.
