Moviestorm is a great utility to create animated movies, without much trouble. You can make amazing animations using it in no time. And if you are worried about it burning a hole in your pocket, well, dont worry. Unlike other movie creators, you dont have to pay huge chunks of money to use Moviestorm. Instead, Moviestorm is subscription based. The subscription costs mere $8/month (which is roughly $0.25/day!)
If you want to try it out before subscribing to it, you can try the free version of Moviestorm, which is available on Windows and Mac platform. (You will need to provide a valid e-mail address to register and try out Moviestorm)
You also control how much you pay and what you pay for. You can rent “content packs” using your subscription. You can selectively buy only the content you need, and not all the junk which you do not, thanks to its unique content renting system.

They also have a Moviestorm Challenge running in which you can win a cool iMac worth USD 1,999. All you have to do is make a kids movie with Moviestorm, and get it shown on tv. It can be anywhere in the world, anytime, any duration etc, but it should be made using Moviestorm.

A bomb blast has once again shocked India, this time in Pune. About 8 people have been killed and over 30 injured (including foreigners).
The blast happened at around 7pm in a popular bakery in Koregaon Park. The place is generally crowded as there is a Osho ashram nearby.
This is the first major terror strike in the country after the shocking terror siege of mumbai on 26 November 2008.
India and Pakistan were also moving ahead towards the talking tables since there were no attacks after 26/11. A foreign secretary level talk between the two countries was also scheduled for 25 February. Indian govt justified the talks on the ground that there had been no terror attacks since 26/11.
Looks like the ice is not going to melt, for now atleast.

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) has lost contact with India’s first moon mission, the Chandrayaan-I. With that India’s first moon mission has come to a premature end. Chandrayaan was launched on 22 October 2008 using a PSLV. Chandrayaan-I was carrying 11 scientific instruments on board, among which, 6 were foreign. It was expected to send data about moon for about two years, but it has ended in just about 10 months.

Though the mission has ended prematurely, majority of the scientific objectives have been achieved, claims ISRO. It has sent many high resolution images of lunar surface and craters. The data will help ISRO in better understanding of the lunar environment.

The mission is not a complete failure as it not only has sent many detailed pictures on moon but has also given ISRO valuable experience in space flight which will prove critical as ISRO is aiming to land Chandrayaan-II on moon in a few years time.

Zenni Optical is a great place if you are looking for cool and fashionable eye glasses, that too at a very reasonable price. They provide prescription eye glasses for as low as $8 ($ 8 Rx eyeglasses). And be rest assured about the quality, if  the price is raising a doubt in your mind.

They provide eye gasses in many categories and price range. You also get free UV protection and anti-scratch coating with your eye gear. The designs are awesome too. These are my favorite high fashion eyeglasses which will help you make up your mind. You can also read on CBN “how you can start spending smart“. (more…)
