Going international

Computers and the net is sometimes a real money saving tools. This I recently discovered when I realized that it can save me a bundle if I want to make a long distance phone call. Not much is need at all. All you need is a computer with a microphone, speakers and of course a net connection with decent speeds. A web cam is optional. Calling over the net is damn cheap. I think this is the future and we all should adapt to this technology as soon as possible. A lot of net service providers like Yahoo already offer these services. I found that if you are spending a lot of time on the phone to make long distance calls, then you'll get a huge bill at the end of the billing cycle. Calling over the net is an excellent option but it cannot always be used. A cell phone has its plus points like....I can take it anywhere. So these days, when I am at home, I will most likely turn on the computer and call over the net and in other situations where the puter is not so readily available, then the cellphone will be used.

Wargames returns

There were a lot of great movies produced by Hollywood during the 1980’s period. The movies which I really loved watching were Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom which really fired up my imagination and I felt like I wanted to go off on an adventure myself to hunt for some lost treasure.
One movie which really I clearly remember was the Aliens series. These series had my imagination going and made me believe that there could possibly be such kind of life out there. But the one movie which really had me hooked was The Terminator. After I saw that movie, I couldn't stop watching it again and again. There was non-stop action through out the movie. It was so utterly believable that robots can acquire such kind of malicious intelligence that they will want total control.

With the movie WarGames hitting the theatres shortly brought back a lot of memories of a bygone era.
It is so hard for me to imagine that it has been 25 years since that movie first came out. It is now a classic movie in its own right.

The WarGames 25th Anniversary event will be playing in select theatres nationwide on Thursday, July 24th. The showing is one night only and will include never-before-seen interviews with film’s creators and the cast (including Broderick and Ally Sheedy) and crew on how the movie was ahead of its time and its relevance today. This sci-fi thriller movie star a young Matthew Broderick who plays a hacker and gets the chance to play a game with the US Military's war computer. Additionally, only at this one night event, get a sneak peek at the making of the sequel – WarGames: The Dead Code. It’s a great movie. Go out and watch it as soon as it hits a theatre near you. Don’t miss the opportunity to watch this great movie.
