HTC Touch, also known as the HTC P3450 is a Windows Mobile 6 powered smartphone designed and manufactured by HTC (A Taiwanese based manufacturer)

I heard about HTC Touch Phone from my brother when he returned from Taiwan. When we stopped by a shopping mall we even had a check on the HTC Touch in a mobile phone shop.

However due to the unavailability of a demo phone, we were not able to get a good overview of this touch phone and hence decided to defer the purchase until we had good knowledge of its features and shortcomings.

I came back and had a look at all the

Of the few sports that I love watching, F1 and Tennis tops the list. Regarding the latter, its not just restricted to watching, I play the game a little bit too :).

Yesterday's French Open final between Roger Federer and Nadal was supposed to be a clash of the "titans" and I expected at least a 5 set thriller. However it turned out to be more of a one sided match. I have never seen Federer play that bad; The number of unforced errors he made were so untypical of him.

After Schumacher's exit previous year, I was not sure if I would watch Formula1 racing with the same enthusiasm. However the guy who has caught everybody's attention including me is

I am sure many of you know what Sudoku is and many of you are also aware of how addictive the game is.

Sudoku sometimes spelled Su Doku, is a placement puzzle, also known as Number Place in the United States. The aim of the puzzle is to enter a number from 1 through 9 in each cell of a grid, most frequently a 9×9 grid made up of 3×3 subgrids (called "regions"), starting with various numbers given in some cells (the "givens").

Even though I had heard about Sudoku from many of my friends, I never bothered to solve these puzzles;i.e. until last week :)

Since then I am completely into Sudoku

My hands are aching as I type this post ! All credit for the pain goes to this game called QWERTY Warriors !

The game is pathetically addictive and is supposed to improve your typing speed !

When I took the "Typing Test" some time back I was impressed by my own abilities. However I have not

My Acer notebook has a ATI Mobility Radeon X700 Graphics card with 256MB VRAM. Playing games with this high end card is always a treat ! However from the past few weeks, I am facing a weird problem.

It all started when I was playing one of my favorite games : Railroad Tycoon 3. This game was running normally for a few days. One day the screen suddenly went blank and the best I could do was to restart the system (after doing a forceful shutdown).

I tried the game few more times and ended with the same result; Display blanks out and doesn't

Here is an video showing Top 10 ping pong rallies of all time. The top 2 are worth checking out, in fact the Top 1 rally extends for about 49 seconds !!  There is a nice song playing at the background, don't forget to switch on your speakers :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6BzyN5p4aM

We all know about the famous or I should say "infamous" Zidane headbutt to Materazzi. On the next day itself, there were quite a few games (flash based) based on this incident.

I found another cool game at this link

You just need to move the mouse and headbutt all those "Materazzis". Zidane does grow bigger after some time and the materazzis do start coming in faster. A test for your mouse skills, or should I say a test of your mouse ?

I tried it couple of times (5 times to be exact) and came out with this score !

Really feeling sleepy, else would have liked to hit the century

I have a craze for computer games, especially strategy games. Age of Empires, Caesar 3, Railraod Tycoon,Rise of Nations, Dune are some of my favorites. Once I get hooked into the game, I never realize the passage of time. Before I was introduced to a computer, I was hooked onto board games like monopoly and business. Atari Play has online versions of some of the greatest games including monopoly. The multiplayer environment loaded up pretty fast and it was nice playing monopoly after many years :). Somehow I managed to land in jail more than on properties :(. Even the "chances" I got, asked me to go to jail :). And ...
