I am from India. Now living in the US. Just starting to record a few thoughts on the net. Let me know if you'd like to know anything from me.

"The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems."

"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes."

"A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble."

"Where there is love there is life."

"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?"

"The Roots of Violence: Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, Politics without principles."

"God has no religion."

"Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our very being."

"Even If I am a minority of one, truth is still the truth"

"To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith."

"I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent."

"My life is my message."

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."

"A coward is incapable of exhibiting love."

Watch unlimited videos in iPhone




A great feature in iPhone is the Youtube widget. But as with the other functions this too has its limitations. I was not happy to see that the player did not play all the movies in you tube and the search results showed only a small list of 'compatible' videos.

Accidentally I discovered a better way of viewing more videos than just from Youtube.

In the iPhone Safari browser go to video.google.com. Click on 'Advance Video Search'. In the next window look for 'Domain' leave the default 'Only' option as it is, and in the box type 'video.google.com'. This would restrict your searches to the videos from video.google.com domain.

Now enter your search criteria in the 4 boxes on the top as you would normally search. The results are listed. Click on the video that you want to watch. A page loads up but the video does not play yet.

On the right side you would see the 'Download' button. Next to it you would see options - for 'Windows/Mac' in that dropdown choose the other option to download for 'Video iPod/Sony PSP' and click on 'Download' button.

Viola! iPhone opens up the video in Quicktime and plays the video.

Add the link to your browser bookmarks. This way you would have instant access to your favorite videos instantly without having to load them on to your iphone. Saves a lot of memory for your audio songs and other stuff.
