			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello people, this is a test post from my iPod Touch. </p>
<p>Just downloaded the Wordpress Application or rather the &#8220;App&#8221; from the iTunes App Store and I am loving this thing. I always wanted some device into which I could quickly jot my ever random thoughts and post it to my blog without being near a computer, the Wordpress App just made it happen without buying absolutely anything (albiet the iPod 2.0 upgrade I had to pay for this thing to happen). Only thing now is, I need to get used to this keyboard which IMO is easy to conquer &#8230;.. I am already half way through it.</p>
<p>Kudos Apple, this certainly rocks!! You now have a new Apple fan. <img src='http://atulvaraskar.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Hello,</p>
<p>It has been nearly two years since the last major release of our flagship Opera browser. Since that time, we&#8217;ve experienced significant growth, not only on the Desktop, but also on Opera Mini. More than 20-25 million people are using Opera on their computer today. More than 45 million people have used Opera Mini.</p>
<p><center><img src='http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/9110/operadx4.png' alt='opera 9.5' class='alignnone' /></ center></p>
<p>With this surge of growth, we here at Opera are coming closer to realizing our mission of providing One Web for everyone, anywhere they are, and whichever device they use. With Opera 9.5, we introduce Opera Link which merges your browsing experience between your computer and your mobile phone. Once again, we are releasing by far the most innovative browser.</p>
<p><span id="more-191"></span></p>
<p>These achievements would not be possible without the support of you, the community. You&#8217;ve given us countless feedback as we&#8217;ve developed and refined Opera 9.5. You&#8217;ve spent hours testing alphas, betas, and release candidates. Your help is essential to make great products. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your tireless contributions. We would not be here without you.</p>
<p>Some new things we hope you will fall in love with in Opera 9.5:</p>
<p>- Opera Link - Log in once, and bring your bookmarks, Speed Dial, and notes with you everywhere</p>
<p>- Quick Find - Remember just one word on a Web page that you visited before. No more searching for those obscure urls.</p>
<p>- Speed - Opera 9.5 is 50% faster than Opera 9.2</p>
<p>- And last but certainly not least: Opera&#8217;s sleek new skin, inspired by the best in Scandinavian design</p>
<p>- And as always, so much more&#8230;</p>
<p>Now, it&#8217;s time to get out there, give Opera 9.5 a spin, and tell people far and wide to use the fastest, most powerful, most beautiful Web browser around. Thanks again for everything you&#8217;ve done for us. We look forward to your feedback making our products even better.</p>
<p><http://www.opera.com></p>
<p>The Opera team</p>
<p>PS - Today we&#8217;re celebrating. Tomorrow we go back to work on the next version.</p></blockquote>

<p>Its not just me raving look at  the reception episode 1 received.</p>
<p><span id="more-179"></span></p>
<blockquote><p> <strong>Reception</strong></p>
<p><strong>Preliminary results show that &#8220;The Beginning of the End&#8221; was watched by over 16.07 million American viewers</strong>, bringing in the best ratings for Lost in seventeen episodes. <strong>USA Today wrote</strong> that &#8220;returning with a heart-stopping, perfectly pitched episode… <strong>Lost is an oasis in a strike-parched TV desert</strong>.&#8221; The Los Angeles Times called &#8220;The Beginning of the End&#8221; an &#8220;emotion-churning chemical dump right in the old brain stem – horror, hysteria, regret, adrenaline and what… will happen next?&#8221; The New York Post gave the episode 4 stars. The Chicago Tribune &#8220;blissfully enjoyed every minute&#8221; and noted that &#8220;there aren&#8217;t any faults&#8221;. The Houston Chronicle said that &#8220;The Beginning of the End&#8221; is &#8220;among the most mind-blowingly, toe-curlingly, mouth-gapingly exciting episodes to date.&#8221; The San Francisco Chronicle &#8220;loved&#8221; the episode, saying that it and &#8220;Confirmed Dead&#8221; &#8220;are roller coasters of fast action and revelation [that are] good to see.&#8221; The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote that Lost &#8220;realize[s] its full potential as a labyrinth of intrigue that can enthrall without unduly frustrating its audience.&#8221;</p>
<p>E! also loved &#8220;The Beginning of the End&#8221;, calling it &#8220;so well written, produced, acted and directed it felt like a movie&#8221; and commending Garcia&#8217;s performance as &#8220;better than ever&#8221;. The first four episodes of the fourth season have been seen by TV Guide, who described them as &#8220;worth the wait&#8221;, &#8220;emotionally satisfying&#8221; and stated that they &#8220;provide gaspworthy plot twists that should whip fans into a theory-spinning tizzy.&#8221; IGN gave the episode 9.1/10, stating that it was &#8220;a great start to what promises to be an exciting… season four. The momentum and pacing is on par with last season&#8217;s finale&#8221;. UGO gave the episode an &#8220;A+&#8221;, calling it &#8220;a crushingly emotional, action packed introduction… [which proves] that… Lost&#8217;s groundbreaking protean form still has plenty of blinding ways to dazzle and entertain in a way that is nonetheless unique unto itself.&#8221; BuddyTV described it as &#8220;the most anticipated season premiere of the year&#8221;and wrote that &#8220;the episode was pretty much a masterpiece&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is the lotus Notes world that surrounds me 24/6 ,even dreams are replicated and archived. Domino no longer resembles a Pizza Company it rather resembles a Server.</p>
<p>Anyway&#8217;s reason for this lame post is the daily comic I receive in my E-mailbox, It is the Pearls Before Swine comic which by the way is absolutely fantastic. I am a fan of this comic all thanks to the news paper Mumbai Mirror ,this paper carried this strip daily but unfortunately we got this news paper discontinued hence the email subscription.</p>
<p>Back to the topic I just hope I don&#8217;t become rat in this comic.</p>
