John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (Made in Japan) for 6 am. While his coffeepot (Made in China) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (Made in Hong Kong). He put on a dress shirt(Made in Sri Lanka), designer jeans (Made in Singapore) and tennis shoes (Made in Korea). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (Made in India), he sat down with his calculator (Made in Mexico) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (Made in Taiwan) to the radio (Made in India), he got in his car (Made in Germany) filled it with Gas (from Saudi Arabia) and continued his search for a good paying American Job. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (Made in Malaysia), John decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (Made in Brazil), poured himself a glass of wine (Made in France) and turned on his TV (Made in Indonesia), and then wondered why he can’t find a good paying job in America.

It kept on happening for some more tries (between the multiple reboots I did). But it did not installed on my Lenovo having Vista Home Premium. As I double click on 70 MB+ files I downloaded freom Apple's website, a DOS window disappears as soon as it appears. I am at my wits ends!!!

[Update] - Installation of iTune 7.7 was successful; however, when I connected my iTouch, it refused to work with it, saying v8 or later is required! I then updated iTune from its Help menu option. The update was of 85 MB, and it we...

The Google home page has been ransacked. The familiar, colorful logo is upside down. The search box and the "I'm Feeling Lucky" tab have been uprooted and now point up at a rakish angle, jutting into white space. Other links have tumbled from the top navigation bar and lie in a heap on the side of the browser. What on earth is going on? Have the hackers taken over? The screwy design is part of a new series, Chrome Experiments, that Google is launching on Mar. 18 to demonstrate the potential of Chrome. The jumbled home page is actually a program called Google Gravity. British interactive design firm Hi-Res! recreated the search giant's regular home page, giving users the ability to wreck the joint. With the mouse, a user can spin the traditional elements into space. They soar, they careen, they bounce, until they settle higgledy-piggledy at the bottom of the browser window.
