Cisco Announce their Android Powered Tablet called Cius Tablet

After the launch of iPad, Google announced their version of a tablet which will run on Android. Other tablets were also launched like JooJoo and WePad but they didn?t get that much popularity. Now Cisco has announced their version of tablet which would run Android as well. This will be a 7 inch tablet and would be called Cisco Cius Tablet.

This tablet would be an ?ultra-portable, mobile collaboration business tablet that offers access to essential business applications and technologies.The tablet would provide full support of Cisco?s telepresence technology with HD video conferencing support. It would have 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, 3G/4G data and Bluetooth 3.0 support for virtual desktop client and would have soundstation which features Bluetooth, USB peripheral support and a handset option.

The Cisco Cius tablet is clearly targeted to the corporate world and is different from the tablet that Google would launch which will also have Android OS.

Cisco will start rolling out Cisco Cius Tablet in the first quarter of 2011.

Nine CCTV cameras installed in Hrithik's home

Rakesh Roshan has recently installed nine CCTV cameras to monitor his house. Recently, a 31 year old man Jai Anand claimed that in 2009, he entered the star?s home and ran away with Rs 10 lakh cash and also jewellery worth Rs 25 lakh.

There are ten cases registered against the accused, who operates mostly in the upscale suburbs of Oshiwara, Juhu and Versova.

Amitabh Gupta, the ACP said, ?Anand has confessed to stealing from Roshan?s house but we need to verify his claim.?

Hrithik Roshan has denied the theft categorically and his sister Sunaina said that she does not remember any such theft.

However, the senior Roshan seems worried and he has installed the nine CCTV cameras at their Juhu residence. He wants to protect his family himself apart from taking police help. The director and former actor has installed the cameras on all the three floors of his house.

A source confirmed the news saying that Rakesh Roshan had ordered for these cameras a long time ago. These CCTV cameras have been placed at different angles and positions to monitor his house all the time. The veteran has taken the responsibility of monitoring the footage from all the cameras.

According to the source, there are three cameras at the entrances of the three floors with one being installed in the kitchen and one in the passages of the floors.

Rakesh Roshan has accepted the story, saying, ?It is a confidential matter so I cannot discuss it in detail.?

With all these cameras installed at home, the home is secure but what about their privacy?

KBC is back !

Now, here's a good news for all, Amitabh Bachchan will be soon seen on Song Entertainment Television, hosting the show, which became his own signature show, Kaun Banega Crorepati season 4 (KBC).

This show which first started with Big B as its host on Star TV has moved on to Sony TV and is again back with its old anchor. ?KBC is back !! And it was announced tonight at a special press conference, which has just concluded. And yes it can be said now that I shall be hosting it !!? penned Mr Bachchan in his Blog


Shahrukh Khan tried hard to collect audiences for KBC season 2, but people were so used to see Amitabh Bachchan in Season 1 and 2, that they couldn't adjust with the change. But, here on people, you won't have to compromise with your wishes any more. Actor Amitabh Bachchan will be again seen on small screen, repeating his same dialogue ? Lock kar de?, instead of ? freeze kar dun.?

You will again hear his same unique voice saying the same word, ? sure, confident,? which will raise suspense and thrill among the audience. Though Mr. Bachchan tried to be humble and defended SRK's KBC-2, but it is true that audience were somewhere disappointed seeing Shahrukh on the show. But, then it seems that the, disappointment will vanish soon, and people will again plunge into the ocean of general knowledge.

Sony TV is happy and glad to have Mr. Bachchan with the show KBC, which will win them a lot of eye balls for the show.

Hollywood calling for Sonam Kapoor

Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor wooed Hollywood and now it is his daughter Sonam to be wooed by the west. She has been offered two Hollywood films in the space of six months.

"While in LA, Anil met Ben Stiller to exchange ideas for a production company they want to launch together for a joint production. During one such talk, the actor told him about his home production Aisha, starring his elder daughter," said a source.

"Ben asked to see the film's show reel as he was casting for the role of Kate for his production house's (Red Hour Films) $30 million film. Titled 30 Minutes Or Less, it is directed by Reuben Fleischer and stars Jesse Eisenberg and Danny MacBride. After Stiller saw the show reel, he sent an e-mail to Anil saying he thought Sonam was 'fantastic' and that he wanted to cast her."

Anil's business manager Udayan confirms, "Yes, Sonam has been offered 30 Minutes Or Less and we are working out the dates. It looks a bit difficult because of her tight schedule as she's shooting for Thank You with Akshay Kumar and Mausam with Shahid Kapoor and promoting her next release Aisha but we are still trying to work it out."

That isn't all. Within a month of Anil's return to India, he got a call for another offer for his beti. This time from Edoardo Ponti (son of Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti's) who just announced a new project called Das and wants to cast the IHLS girl. The film would be made in India.

Says a source close to Anil, "Father and daughter are very clear about their strategy. Sonam is already committed to three releases this year -- Aisha and Mausam and Thank You. These also include promotion for Aisha. These are commitments made earlier and no big film can come in the way of that unless the projects are really exceptional."
