Mumbai Express

Pic[Galatta.com] Mumbai Express is going digital and hence the theatres are forced to follow the path. Just like how Kurudhi Punal and Thiruda Thiruda urged theatres to upgrade their audio systems to Dolby/DTS. It had saved him over a crore rupees on his film making cost. Kamal's own banner 'RajKamal Films' is involved in the marketing of the film and also the audio, that make a eye rise on the special music done by Music Maestro Ilayaraja. Mumbai Xpress is the first film from south to have been digitally censored. Hope it stays on schedule.

CM Songs...

No politics. I just meant Chandramukhi songs. The film has 5 Tamil songs and one Telugu song. Don’t know what the rationale behind this Telugu song is?. My recommendation is: Better forget this song. Vidyasagar rocks in all songs. The songs are tailor-made for Rajini fans. The displeasure comes in lyrics. No lyric is appealing yet. Most lines were pretty ordinary. Yes this opinion might change after few more listening. Definitely Vairamuthu’s absence is felt. Since we don’t know when Rajini will come up with the next film he should have opted for Vairamuthu. And also it has been long since Yesudas showed up. Still amma yendru(Mannan) and oru pen pura(Annamalai) is ringing in my ears. I expected a song similar to Raajiyam illai (BaBa) or Vidugathaiya (Muthu). I don’t think Asha Bhosle is a right choice for the song Konji Pesa. Even athanda ithanda(Arunachalam) kind of words are working fine for Rajini what is the need for Devuda Devuda? It’s just a thought. Though lots of my expectations are missing, I will go ahead and enjoy it. Wondering why still Ramadoss has not started yelling about Telugu lyrics in Tamil songs (Devuda Devuda).

Yahoo Ups Storage Ante to 1 Gig Email Expansion

Yahoo Ups Storage Ante to 1 Gig Email Expansion: Yahoo is expanding storage capacity for its free email accounts to 1GB. The move allows Yahoo users to accommodate large email attachments such as photos in their webmail.

Yahoo has gradually increased its email capacity several times during the last year, this time raising the storage limit from 250MB. Yahoo will also upgrade the antivirus capabilities offered through its free accounts by providing software from Symantec. Previously only paid subscribers benefited from the service. Yahoo Mail Plus, at $19.95 per year, offers 2GB and other options not available to free users.

The upgrade will be available to users worldwide from April.

Yahoo buys my favorite Flickr Beta, it's not your grandfather's photo sharing site.

Yahoo desktop search reaches beyond the PC - Yahoo is expected to launch on Wednesday the first upgrade to its desktop search tool, adding the ability to index data from Yahoo's instant messenger archives stored on users' PCs and from users' address books residing on Yahoo's servers.
