Free .edu E-Mail From Microsoft: What's the Catch? What Does It Mean?

Microsoft is offering universities free hosted mail services for staff, students and alumni. Because this is the first offering of its kind and is likely to spread to .gov and .org constituencies, and ultimately to commercial organizations, an in-depth examination of the program is warranted.

The epic retold. It's a project that stays true to the original by integrating the relationships between the main protagonists amid the themes of dharma , karma , maya and moksha . Yet, a modern-day project with the contemporary avatars of Ram, Ravana and Sita, plus a few additional characters. All this, in comic-book form. A sneak peek at the reinvented Ramayana – the comic book creation of Shekhar Kapur and Deepak Chopra which is being billed as Asia's Lord Of The Rings. To quote Kapur and Chopra, Ramayan Reborn is about Ram, the exiled and desolate warrior of Ayodhya who must journey across the wasted Earth to battle with Ravan, Dark Lord of the savage Asura demons.

New Age guru Deepak Chopra and filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, along with Chopra's son Gotham and Sharad Devarajan of the Gotham Entertainment group, have created a global content development company, Gotham Studios, which will churn out a number of comic book projects (including Indian Spider-Man) , the first being Kapur and Chopra's interpretation of the Ramayana.

Ramayan Reborn also has the involvement of maver- businessman, Richard Branson. In fact, the comic book is one of the first initiatives of Virgin Comics — a three-way initiative between Branson’s Virgin Books, Intent Media which is a company owned by Chopra & Kapur as well as Sharad Devarajan of Gotham Entertainment Group. Other projects in the pipeline includes THE SADHU, RAMAYANA REBORN, SNAKE WOMAN, and SHEKHAR KAPUR'S DEVI.

Cool Flickr Hacks

To get the following scripts running, you must have the Greasemonkey Firefox extension installed.

Lickr
Lickr removes the need for Flash. It runs within the web browser Firefox, stripping the Flash before the user can even see it, and replacing it with an equivalent interface in pure HTML and Javascript.

Greased Lightbox
Greased Lightbox is Joe Lencioni’s Greasemonkey/Creammonkey/Opera user script designed to enhance browsing on websites that link to images such as Google Image Search, Flickr, Gmail, Facebook, MySpace, and deviantART

Graph photostream
Greasemonkey script to display a graph of the number of times your photostream has been viewed.

Group recent comment enhancement
It enhance the last group comments page (http://www.flickr.com/recent.gne) to be able to display directly the last comments in the page. This way, you do not have to switch pages to have a quick look at the discussions in your groups.

Flickr: More menus 0.5
The new Gamma interface provided by Flickr introduces a menu system that allows you to quickly access some of the major pages you would use.However, these menus do not always provide the fastest access to some of your page.This greasemonkey script introduces sub-menus to access hidden pages.

Flickr MultiMailer
Lets you send FlickrMail to multiple recipients

Super Batch Processing for Flickr
Flickr is lacking of creating a list of arbitrary photos for batch operations. This script provides a "shopping cart" for you to collect your photos to process. After you added a number of photos in cart, you can edit as a batch, make an album, a slideshow, or a mosaic. Items in cart will be saved in greasemonkey storage and will be remembered while you're visiting different pages in flickr.

Group search box where it belongs
When you view a group topic, there is no quick way to search for another topic in that group discussions.Here is another really simple script to add a group discussion search box after the "more… or post a new topic" in the left column listing the group latest topics.

Camera Name Tag Addr
The basic idea is that you can add your camera name (from exif data) as tags with a quick click!

More User Links
Combines the Scout Link script by netomer and my rewrite of the Browse by Interesting script originally by steev and makes it easy to add more links to whatever you need to appear in the submenu.

Manage View and Fave Groups
A Greasemonkey script to help manage photos in view groups and fave groups such as top-v, 100 Views, and 5-10 Favorites.In your photostream view (sorted by views or favorites), the script will display which view and favorites groups your photos belong to, so you can see at a glance whether your photos are in the proper groups. The script also adds dividing lines between common group boundaries, such as 25-50, 50-75, etc.

Flickr Surf
The simplest script ever: adds a "Surf" link to the surf page under the Slideshow link for the user photostream. In the surf page, it adds a Previous and Next to move by one photo and not 3 like the skip buttons is doing.

FlickrQuoter
Makes it easier to quote people in your replies

Batch Enhancer Enhanced
