Show-Stopping Gear
At a CES event in Las Vegas called ShowStoppers, we saw everything from con-
cept laptops that share resources and virtual-reality race cars to shades that let
you watch video while walking down the street. Have a look. - By CES Staff
A DVR Alternative - Moxi HD DVR

The Moxi HD DVR finally will be available directly to consumers. The DVR, which was previously avail-
able from cable companies, is now available for purchase from Amazon.com’s Electronics Store, the
company said during a press conference here at CES.
The Moxi DVR has a custom interface that lets you bring all of your favorite cable TV high-definition
content (scheduled TV or stuff you’ve already recorded on the DVR) together in one programming
guide, along with a growing array of digital content from the Web, like movies, music, pictures and
games.
In-Car Satellite TV Service

AT&T Cruisecast, slated to launch this spring, promises to deliver satellite TV directly to your car. At
launch, it will have 22 channels of satellite TV and 20 more of satellite radio, but will cost serious
money: $1,299 for the system, and $28 a month for the service.
Netbook Uses USB Key for a Hard Drive

Here’s a netbook with a twist: Emtec’s 10-inch Gdium Liberty has no hard drive. Instead, it will ship
with a bootable USB storage stick (dubbed the G-Key) that runs Mandriva G-Linux and has more than
50 open-source applications pre-installed, including OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, and Spam
Assassin.
Shake, Rattle, and Make E-Music

Imagine a couple of dueling Wii controllers that squawk and beep rhythmically as you and a buddy
wave them at each other. Now you have an idea of what you can do with ZooZBeat software on an
iPhone, iPod Touch, or Nokia N95/N82/N93i.
The creators at ZooZ Mobile describe ZooZBeat as a “gesture-based mobile music studio,” and in
their demos they did indeed control tonality and volume by varying the intensity and direction of a
waving or shaking motion.
Watch Video Without Getting Mugged

Vuzix says its new Wrap 920AV video glasses (which work with iPods and the iPhone) provide the
same effect as looking at a 60-inch monitor from a distance of nine feet. And unlike other models
that left you blind on public transport, the sunglass-style Wrap has a “see-thru” lens design that lets
you watch a private video display while still being able to see out of the glasses. It also supports
prescription lens inserts, and noise-canceling in-ear earbuds are also integrated into the design.

Smartphones impress at CES
Most of the smartphones we saw at CES were updated versions of older models.
But the new Palm Pre (and its webOS) was a breath of fresh air -- and it definitely
stole the show. By Ginny Mies. Courtesy PC World.
Palm Pre
The new Palm Pre has an ergonomic curved body with a slide-out vertical
QWERTY keyboard and multitouch-screen. Slick in appearance and efficient
in function, its webOS aims to bring together all of the facets of your life into
one seamless application. And from what we’ve seen, the Pre looks like it
could be a major threat to the iPhone and Android-based G1.
Palm has not set an exact availability date or a price for the Pre, but it will be
on Sprint’s 3G network.
HTC S743
One of the many smartphone rumors that had been floating around prior to
this year’s CES is that T-Mobile would unveil an HTC G2, the successor to
the Google Android-based G1. But the new HTC phone announced at CES is
a Windows Mobile phone: the HTC S743. Already available in other regions,
the HTC S743 handset takes some design cues from last year’s HTC Touch
Diamond.
Though the S743 is not a touch-screen device, it does have a distinctive and
sophisticated design. Style comes at a high cost, however: The unlocked
phone has an estimate price of $600 to $700. The phone will be available
later this quarter.
Nokia N97
The ultimate entertainment device, the Nokia N97 has a digital music player
with an equalizer and playlist editing. The N97’s gorgeous 3.5-inch, 16:9
widescreen plays videos in 30 fps, supporting a variety of video formats.
The N97 has 32GB of on-board memory and expandable memory of up to
16GB, so it can hold your huge media collection. It also has a full QWERTY
keyboard with a sliding tilt touch display.
The Nokia N97 will be available globally in the first half of 2009. Pricing has
not yet been announced, but the N97 will be sold as an unlocked phone, so it
won’t have a subsidized carrier price.
Motorola Motosurf A3100

The Windows Mobile-based Motosurf A3100 from Motorola is a full-touch
smartphone with a 2.8-inch display and additional trackball navigation. The
3G handset has a widget-based home screen, which you can customize with
your favorite apps. Also included: Opera’s mobile browser, built-in GPS, a
3-megapixel camera and Wi-Fi access.
The Motosurf A3100 will be available in Latin America and Asia sometime
in the first half of 2009.
Pharos Traveler 137

One of the more interesting handsets we saw at CES was the Traveler 137
from Pharos. The slim Windows Mobile GSM handset has a 3.5-inch LCD
touch-screen and mobile broadband (UMTS/HSDPA) support, so it can work
just about anywhere in the world. It has two cameras: a conventional back-
cover 3-megapixel camera and a second 0.3-megapixel camera for videocon-
ferencing. The Traveler 137’s MicroSD slot supports SDHC.
Pharos offers a pay-as-you-go GPS feature: U.S. maps and service are free,
but you must pay a specific fee for access to maps of Canada, Western Europe
or Eastern Europe. Yet another unlocked phone, the Traveler 137 will ship by
spring for the steep price of $600.

BlackBerry Curve 8900
The thinnest and smallest full-QWERTY BlackBerry, the BlackBerry
Curve 8900 is the latest addition to Research In Motion’s popular family
of smartphones. Available from T-Mobile, the Curve 8900 has a more
powerful processor, and the 2.4-in. 65K display has the highest resolu-
tion of any full QWERTY BlackBerry available. Unfortunately, though,
the Curve 8900 has no 3G support.
The Curve will be available by the end of February at T-Mobile stores

and online; pricing has not yet been announced.
T-Mobile Shadow
The T-Mobile Shadow will be re-
vamped as a smartphone running
Windows Mobile 6.1. It will also be
HotSpot-enabled for use with T-Mo-
bile Unlimited HotSpot Calling ser-
vice, which allows you to make voice
calls over Wi-Fi networks. The Shad-
ow has a nice balance of entertainment
and enterprise features, including a
music and video player, pre-loaded
multimedia content, a mobile version
of Microsoft Office for document
viewing and editing, and Microsoft
Outlook. The Shadow’s 1.6-inch screen, however, is disappointing.
The Shadow’s candy-bar slider design is similar to its predecessor’s, but

the phone comes in some new colors. The phone is ex-
pected to be available in select stores and online; pric-
ing has not yet been announced.
Nokia E63
The Nokia E63 is the little brother of the Nokia E71,
which was released in the U.S. last fall. Though it has
enterprise features such as Mail for Exchange and Lo-
tus Notes, the E63 isn’t strictly a business phone. The
handset allows users to customize two separate home
screens: one for work and one for play. The E63 also
comes with an audio and video player, various games,
a 2-megapixel camera and a full HTML browser with
Flash support.
While the E63 might not be sexiest handset at CES, at $250, it is quite
affordable for an unlocked phone. The E71, in comparison, was priced at
$500 when it was first announced last year.

How To Apply Liquid Eyeliner Flawlessly
Applying eyeliner is one of the most pre-

ferred ways to emphasize a woman’s eyes.
No matter whether you will use liquid eye-
liner or pencil eyeliner you can easily define
your eyes and create a classy look. Although
most of the women prefer to use pencil eye-
liner as it is much easier for them, the liquid
eyeliner is also a great choice for the rest of
the women. Before you decide you buy liq-

very difficult to apply it flawlessly at first as
it needs a lot of practice and patience.

Ali Fazal of Salaam Namaste: How are you today?
Sonam Kapoor: I’m awesome!
Ali: Sonam has actually had a long day of press, so she’s

eating... would you care to tell our viewers what this
lunch consists of?
Sonam: Lettuce, chicken, and bread.
Ali: Alright, there it is, right from her mouth—Sonam

eats carbs! Alright, so we’re here to talk about her new
movie ‘Delhi 6’... It’s her second film... First off, I’d like
to ask, how does it feel to play two such radically dif-
ferent characters? Sakina in Saawariya and now Bittu in
Delhi 6?
Sonam: It’s been a challenge, but that’s what I thrive
on: being challenged. And Mr. Mehra and Mr. Bhansali
have actually been kind enough to give me these great
roles, which I can actually work on, not just be pretty
and dance around trees in four songs. So it’s a good
thing for me...
Ali: So taking this film into account, do you have any

special memories you’d like to share from Delhi 6?
Sonam: Are you talking about the pigeon on my head?
Ali: Well, I’m not going to lie, there’s been a lot of talk
about the pigeon on your head. How did it get there?
Was it gross? You can tell us...
Sonam: [laughs] No, it wasn’t gross! The pigeon was ini-
tially on my shoulder actually, and then it suddenly de-
cided in the middle of the take to just get on my head!
I think it thought it was a nest or something, given the
amount of hair on top of my head!
Ali: And did you throw liquid on Abhishek?
Sonam: I didn’t throw liquid, I spat on him! There’s a big difference!
Ali: Was it prop spit?

Sonam: No! [laughs] It was disgusting, really nasty spit! Oh, I probably
shouldn’t say that while I’m eating!
Ali: Well, you have a lot of fans in the United States, so how does it feel
for you when you come here?
Sonam: It’s amazing... It’s really the land of opportunity. You know, after
Barack Obama and everything, it just seems really positive and fresh.
Ali: Speaking of America, your dad is here, preparing for the Oscars...
but we’re sick of talking about your dad. Everyone probably asks you
about him... let’s talk about your mom. How has she been in this whole
process of you becoming an actress?
Sonam: She didn’t want me to do it in the beginning, but then she
reluctantly gave in. Honestly, she’s amazing. She’s really supportive, and
she’s a fab jewelry designer, so I get to wear all her jewelry, free! She’s
also amazingly aesthetically inclined, so I never wear anything wrong
when she’s around.
Ali: Well, we all can vouch for that! Recently, you were in the press a lot
because of your quote, saying that you were not just a pretty face. Care
to expand upon that?
Sonam: I’m not just a pretty face, I have a whole body underneath it!
[laughs]
Ali: Well, that was a very insightful answer. Now, moving back to your
career, you’ve had two such radically different films and characters.
Which character, Sakina or Bittu, is more you?
Sonam: Neither of them, otherwise I wouldn’t be acting. But I have ele-
ments from both characters. Like from Sakina, I have this melancholy
side, which I think all people have, especially South Asians, since we see
so much in our lives. And as for Bittu, I feel like I’m a young person,
with so much to look forward to, so I relate to her that way.
Ali: So, not many people know that you actually started your film ca-
reer by being an assistant producer in ‘Black’, which was Sanjay Leela
Bhansali’s film staring Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukherji. Have
you always wanted to direct or was that just a way for you to understand
the crafts of acting better?
Sonam: Initially I wanted to direct, because I always thought of the
director as the puppeteer and the actors as the puppets, and I wanted to
be in the position of power, but then I realized it doesn’t really matter...
Everything is creative and interesting to do. So when Sanjay Leela Bhan-
sali offered me Saawariya, I wasn’t dumb enough to turn him down.
Ali: Speaking of Saawariya, many people were freaked out by the fact
that the whole film was blue... Did you get a lot of comments about
being blue?
Sonam’s modeling pictures.

Sonam: I didn’t want to question his creativity, that was his vision... And
Saawariya is a great film, but you know, even Mr. Bhansali’s worst is bet-
ter than most people’s best.
Ali: Well, that’s definitely true. Looking into the future, we know you
just signed as the new face of L’oreal. How does that feel?
Sonam: I feel really privileged. You know, there are amazing people like
Aishwarya Rai, Penelope Cruz, and Scarlett Johannsen on board, so it’s
great to be signed with such a fantastic brand. I use L’oreal, and it’s a
terrific brand.
Ali: So, tell us a little bit about Delhi 6. Everything is so hush-hush...

Sonam: Hush Hush?! There are like 15 promos out man!
Ali: I know, but they’re song promos... like the bird on top of your
head—
Sonam: That was only the first promo, Ali!
Ali: It was pretty intriguing, though!

Sonam: Okay, I like the fact that people are paying attention to me, and
the bird, but the film is about Delhi 6, the main protagonist of the film
is Delhi, and it’s just a reflection of today’s youth.
Ali: Now we’ve all seen you in Western clothes in Delhi 6... Do you
think this will affect your public image, considering you were so tradi-
tionally styled in Saawariya?
Sonam: I don’t believe in this whole image thing, yaar. I am totally dif-
ferent than what people see on the screen. The person chatting with you
today is Sonam... the others are just characters.
Ali: Okay, so we have to talk about Slumdog Millionaire... It’s such a

sensation here in the States... How do you feel about this success?
Sonam: Well, the film deals with a very universal topic, which is love.
I’m not at all surprised by it’s success... Everyone globally roots for love
and for an underdog as well... As for my father, he’s amazing. And Freida
is a Bombay girl like me, so she rocks!
Ali: Now, I know you said you don’t believe in this whole image thing,
but a lot of people look at you as very prim and proper. Are there any
weird habits you can share with our listeners?
Sonam: As you can see I’m a very messy eater. I’ve been eating this salad
in front of you with two hands and only one fork, so I hope this ‘prim
and proper’ thing can be put to rest!
Ali: Now to close, we have a bit of a controversial question regarding

A poem for my Dad…

by Priya
It all started in a small village about 30 years ago,
The country was India and I was about four.
The weather was gorgeous with a cloud-filled sky,
Rain came upon us as we gathered for some chai.
All were at the table with smiles on their faces,
But clearly missing were my own Dad’s traces.
The day passed on and darkness slowly set in,
I wondered if Dad would eventually walk in.
All fell asleep and left me to my thoughts,
I finally realized waiting for Dad was playing with the
odds.
Six months passed by, even mom was gone
She took my sister and left me all alone.
No love from mom or from dad,
I felt abandoned and just so sad.
Then, one sunny day, a miracle from afar,
Saw my dad waving from the other side of the yard.
He called me over but I was too scared to go,
Didn’t take long for him to disappear into the evening
glow.
Oh how I wish I could have another chance,
Because after that day it wasn’t long before he passed.
Now I am a grown woman but still can’t forget that
day,
How did I miss the only chance to ask my dad to stay.
I love you Dad…

Top 10 Spring Break Destinations!
Have fun with the family!
Sure, the college-kids-gone-wild scenario may never
totally fade from the spring break landscape. But there
are plenty of great spring break destinations where the
only wet T-shirts to be seen are those worn by pre-
schoolers splashing around in a pool. If you've got
kids in school anywhere from kindergarten to college,
spring break really is quintessential family vacation
time.
To start, schools across North America break at different times,

so everyone doesn't descend on vacation spots at once—and ev-
ery family isn't trying to book airline reservations at the same
time, either. Even in the most popular spots, spring often draws
smaller crowds than summer. And if you want to give yourself
even better odds of avoiding crowds, don't vacation where local
kids are out of school at the same time, because they'll be visiting
many of the same attractions you and your kids want to see.
The spring season also offers a greater diversity of travel destina-

tions than summer. Many ski resorts don't close until mid-April,
so snow lovers can take to the slopes during spring vacation, while
others head to tropical or desert resorts that are too hot to handle
come summer. Destinations in the south offer perfect weather in
spring, before the hot and humid dog days arrive. Finally, while
spring is definitely peak season for some destinations, others—
ski and desert resorts, for example—offer discounts and budget
deals in spring, as their high season winds down.
Here are our picks for the top ten spring break destina-
tions for parents and kids of all ages, from sea and sand
to snowy slopes.
10. Galveston, Texas

Moody Gardens offers one-stop family fun—hotel, aquarium,
discovery museum, paddle wheeler, and rain forest (with bat
cave and two-toed sloths). Through March and April there are
one-day kids’ camps with various themes. The resort also has a
kids’ club, Texas-size pool, a spa, and Schlitterbahn Water Park
right next door. In town explore Ocean Star Offshore Drilling
Rig & Museum—a real oil rig—and see The Great Storm mul-
timedia presentation about the infamous storm of 1900. Moody
Gardens’ Earth Day & Oleander Festival, in late April, has crafts,
gardening, floral design for kids, a puppet show, and more.
9. Naples, Florida
Go to Naples to experience nature front and center. The Conser-
vancy of Southwest Florida has daily nature walks and wildlife
sightseeing cruises March and April; sailing adventures run on
Fridays.
Families can book kayak and canoe tours, too. The park with ruins, trails, and a museum/interpretive

Aa Dekhen Zara (3/5 rating)
There are good expectations from the music of Aa Dekhen Zara
due to multiple reasons: a) Neil Nitin Mukesh’s last thriller had boasted
of an edgy music. Since ADZ is a thriller as well, one expects a repeat
show here, b) Bipasha Basu’s presence in the film promises at least
a couple of catchy foot tapping dance numbers and c) Since Pritam
and Gourav Dasgupta [of Dus Kahaniyaan fame] share credits for
the film’s soundtrack, it is bound to be a young contemporary outing.
PICK’S: ‘Aa Dekhen Zara’, ‘Rocky’
13B (3/5 rating)

There aren’t any expectations whatsoever from the music of
a film that belongs to the horror genre and has a title which goes
as 13 B. From the prospective of background score, there still
could be something worthwhile to look forward to in it but again,
that makes more sense from the narrative standpoint rather than
hearing it over an audio. However, on seeing the names of Shankar,
Ehsaan and Loy on the credits, one still wants to give the album
a fair hearing. Also, since most of the album actually comprises
of songs (barring a theme track), one does get a little hopeful
about something interesting to be played audio-wise as well.

42 Kms (2.5/5 rating)

This is one album that one picks up with absolutely zero
expectations. A project that has been in making for long (it was
earlier titled ‘Marathon’), 42 Kms is releasing at a time when the word
‘marathon’ is becoming more and more identifiable, at least in the
metros. Still, a film that is aimed for a niche audience with music by
relative newcomers (Tubby & Parik) and lyrics by Shahab Allahabadi,
42 Kms doesn’t really make you overtly excited about what’s in store
in its music.
PICK’S: ‘Chand Zameen Pe’, ‘Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai’ [Gangster], ‘‘Aksar’
[Hijack]
Bollywood
Upcoming Movies
Sikandar
