I dont know ,how many of you have heard about Wolfram Alpha! K. Its an answer engine. Instead of providing a list of webpages that may
contain the answer , wolfram provides you an answer for every typed question!
It seems to be interesting. When we type in the name of a town, you get pretty lots of details about the place, even the weather ;)
Yeah its working ,couple of my friends said that i made a good guess predicting the weather of their place! 
Wolfram|Alpha is built on Wolfram’s earlier flagship product,Mathematica. It is developed by Wolfram Research.

Hi,
I’m sure, many of you have faced the problem of your DVD writer not being able to recognise many DVDs.
May be even those written using the drive will not be read. I too faced this problem with my SONY AW-G170A drive.
After trying a lot, i finally tried the firmware update. It worked!.
To perform firmware update,
1. obtain the appropriate *.exe (you need Windows) file from MANUFACTURER’s website ONLY.
SONY users check out

2. Run it as Administrator user.
3. Uninstall the CD/DVD writing softwares and reinstall them, if they are not working.
