Surely might be a tasty one!!
If only, it was real, it could be ever tasted. The virtual world has taken its toll again. According to the News, Pizza.com has been bought by a secret bidder for a whopping prize of $2.6 Million.
Actually bought by Chris Clark in 1984 for a mere $20, Pizza.com was making a small profit of its own. Now, an unnamed pizza company which has huge plans(might be really huge) to explore and cherish over the Pizza market bought it from Clark for the above mentioned prize.
Surely Domains are turning out to be the next hot sales.
The site is still up and running as we speak. Go and Grab a pie at Pizza.com

Over the weekend, I filled up my car’s fuel tank, and I thought fuel
has become really expensive after the recent price hike.
But then I compared it with other common liquids and did some quick
calculations, and I felt a little better.
To know why, see the results below ” you’ll be surprised at how
outrageous some other prices are !
Diesel (regular) in Mumbai : Rs.36.08 per litre
Petrol (speed) in Mumbai : Rs.52 per litre
Coca Cola 330 ml can : Rs.20 = Rs.61 per litre
Dettol antiseptic 100 ml Rs.20 = Rs.200 per litre
Radiator coolant 500 ml Rs.160 = Rs.320 per litre
Pantene conditioner 400 ml Rs.165 = Rs.413 per litre
Medicinal mouthwash like Listerine 100 ml Rs.45 = Rs. 450 per litre
Red Bull 150 ml can : Rs.75 = Rs.500 per litre
Corex cough syrup 100 ml Rs.57 = Rs. 570 per litre
Evian water 500 ml Rs. 330 = Rs. 660 per litre
Rs. 500 for a litre of WATER???!!! And the buyers don’t even know the
source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)
Kores whiteout 15 ml Rs. 15 = Rs. 1000 per litre
Cup of coffee at any decent business hotel 150 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1167
per litre
Old Spice after shave lotion 100 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1750 per litre
Pure almond oil 25 ml Rs. 68 = Rs. 2720 per litre
And this is the REAL KICKER…
HP deskjet colour ink cartridge 21 ml Rs.1900 = Rs. 90476 per litre!!!
Now you know why computer printers are so cheap ? So they have you
hooked for the ink !
So, the next time you’re at the pump, don’t curse our honorable
Petroleum minister ” just be glad your car doesn’t run on cough syrup,
after shave, coffee, or God forbid, printer ink !

In continuation to my earlier post on How to Edit Images Online this would be a breeze for all the photo editing freaks. All are not lucky enough to lay their hands upon the World’s best photo editing tool Adobe Photoshop.
For people like these, Adobe opened up Photoshop Express on Thursday, a much awaited web-based image editor aimed at simple ways to touch up, share and store photos.
Photoshop Express is available with a free 2 gigabytes of memory. A whopping amount for images, and the best bet to make money by offering web services directly to consumers of Adobe.
Photoshop Express requires Flash Player 9 to run and once an account is created and you are in, its plethora of tools would leave you surprised. This would strictly turn out to be the competetion buster of all the Online Image Editing Tools.
And whats more…You can even login to your FaceBook, Orkut and PhotoBucket accounts to integrate those accounts and edit images.

People will do almost anything to lose weight. While the most logical, sustainable means of doing so hasn’t really changed—eat less and exercise—every day it seems there are a host of new and outlandish methods to lose those love handles. Most of these ill-fated regimes will help you lose pounds, at least in the short term, but sometimes it’s at the expense of an organ or your sanity. Here are a few of my favorites:
Dr. Siegal’s® Cookie Diet™
Make no mistake, you’re not going to be eating Pepperidge Farm Milanos, or Oreos, or Mrs. Fields’ White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies on this diet. No, you’re going to be eating the concoctions of Dr. Siegal, a physician who specializes in hypothyroidism and obesity, and who also likes to sell weight loss books and snacks. However, his proprietary hunger-controlling cookies are a diet-deceiving indulgence; they look like bricks of fiber-coated oats sweetened with prunes. Although they may make you less hungry, the doctor also advises combining them with a restricted calorie diet, which, as we all know, is the main way you’re going to lose weight. I also like how he has trademarked the term “Let’s face it: hunger wrecks diets™.” Uh, so do cookies.
The Subway Diet
Ever since I worked in a building where the women’s restroom abutted a Subway sandwich shop, I have had an almost Pavlovian reaction to thought of eating one of their subs. It reminds me of the toilet, and makes me want to gag. So although I know many people like Subway, eating them twice a day for a year, like Jared Fogel, the guy on the Subway commercials who lost 245 pounds, seems inconceivable. And it seems like I could save a whole lot of money by just making my own sandwiches, and maybe going for a jog now and again.
The Cereal Diet
This is similar to the Subway diet in that you’re supposed to supplant two meals a day with the same thing—in this case cereal. From Special K to Raisin Bran, many cereal boxes now claim you can “lose six in two”— that is lose six pounds in two weeks. Of course, the premise is the same: when people have to measure the amount they are eating, they end up eating fewer calories, so they lose weight. And it’s not like these cereals are health food or anything. The third ingredient in Special K is sugar; it’s the second ingredient in All-Bran. And the last thing you want to be eating too much of is All-Bran—it’s not weight you’d lose, but the contents of your bowels.
