This one is just hilarious and I’ve to pick it up here (found at Digg).

Here is the excerpt from Willliam Kessler‘s world;

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.

In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3 , Football 5.0 , Hunting and Fishing 7.5 , and Racing 3.6.

I can’t seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I’m thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0 , but the uninstall doesn’t work on Wife 1.0 . Please help!

Thanks,
Troubled User

PSLVYesterday, a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), was launched from the Sriharikota base in South India at about 3:30 pm, making it India’s 1st Commercial Rocket to be launched in space. It is carrying a 352kg Italian satellite which will gather information about the origins of the universe, the AFP news agency reports. It is reported that India is being paid $11 million to launch the Italian satellite.

The PSLV model rocket was first launched in 1994. It puts satellites into orbits where they cross above the earth’s poles.

It is good news on a Tuesday morning to know that Mumbai Airport, both Domestic and International, are now fully Wi-Fi-ed and that too FREE. This is a must-have in the time when there is huge congestion in the Indian Air Space, flight delays, et al.

However, the free Wi-Fi may become a paid one in future but that should be fine if their service is good. The internet connectivity and technology is provided by Bharati Airtel Ltd. There will be no inter-connectivity with the internal Airport network at the airport. The current Wi-Fi network is purely for Internet Access. Every user who accesses the Net will be authenticated and provided a user name and password.
