Survival of test cricket!!!
Oct 30th
Cricket was known as gentlemen game in the world. At the time cricket was started the form of cricket was testing cricket, which can be played for the maximum of five days. No other game in the world can be played continuously for five days. Now things are changing in the world. People want each and everything to be the compact so new form of cricket known as Twenty20, which was started few years back. Tournaments like IPL are at its peak now, which has provoked cricket as a purely a money-making game. This will certainly destroy the richness of cricket. Many forms of cricket can be introduced but Test Cricket is the real test for the player. He needs power, stamina, courage to face the fastest ball from the bowler etc. The introduction of Twenty20 has really changed the way the game was played. Usually people won’t see much of test cricket. So there will be empty seats in the stadium. So avoid this ICC has been thinking of day and night test matches etc. At this present age test cricket is struggling for its survival. Mainly test crickets are avoided because many matches go for a draw. This situation has to change by introducing new rules. So it is right for ICC to wake up and implement some steps to save test cricket.

Picasa
Oct 15th
Any one who uses Google photos to store photos online will be probably familiar with picasa. And this integration with online activity that proves to be its biggest strength. Picasa’s search options are limited at best-the quick search engine boost of only three buttons tarred movie and uploaded. The image editor has a few basic tools for cropping, straighten, red eye removal, and modifying contracts, color and brightness. Turning effects include highlights and shadows, and the effects gallery has a decent number of special effects- sharpen, sepia, black and white, film grin tint, soft focus, and glow among others. An interesting feature in picasa is ‘collage’ in which the user should select a couple of images and pick up a type collage then we can see the effect. Picasa a pile images as separate Polaroid photos in a pile. I am sure picasa will be software satisfying basic needs of users. Since the software is medium paced and does not have too many search options, picasa can be improved in these areas but definitely it is a great tool to integrate offline photos with web album
