Google's new results interface


Heard news about Google is testing it's new result pages, here and there. And here it is, the new Google results page, with a side panel on the left. This panel, shows the strength of your search query in different categories, and also it allows Google to get more space to add its services list. An interesting layout, though not mindblowing .

Tidbit:
If you want to view this result page, do this
  • Goto Google.com page or whatever google servers, like google.co.in
  • paste the following string in the address bar in a single line and press enter, and ignore the meaningless messagebox.
javascript:alert (document.cookie="PREF=ID=fb7740f107311e46:TM=1142683332:LM=1142683332:
S=fNSw6ljXTzvL3dWu;path=/;domain=.google.com")

Note: the sting must be a continuous, single-line entry. Additionally, the portion "domain=.google.com" should be modified to whatever Google search server you are using (e.g., google.co.in).
  • Here you go, try your search and you are viewing the new results page.

luvingly,

On a BIGGER Stage, A. R. Rahman in LOTR



The man who has been mesmerising each and every music lover starting from his his very first film music "Roja", is now on the world's most expensive(more than US$23 million) musical stage show, Stage adaptation of Lord of The Rings. It started with positive reviews on 23rd of this month. Its advance bookings already having generated staggering $16m.

The show will run only in Toronto until at least 2007; the next production would be in London.



With superb hits recently in bollywood(Rang de basanti) and kollywood(Godfather) the year 2006 looks very promissing from A. R. Rahman, with long list of upcoming albums,

  • Jil endru Oru kadhal, Sivaji, Dhasavadharam -Tamil
  • Guru(Mani ratnam), Jodha-Akbar(Ashuthosh Gowarikar)- Hindi
  • Provoked(Aishwarya rai), Film on Mozart - International

tidbit:
The current Hollywood Blockbuster "INSIDE MAN" starring Denzel Washington, is the #1 movie currently. The opening and closing moments of this movie have the unforgettable ARR hit "Chaiyya chaiyya" and also in the credits!!

and its worth mentioning that the recent hollywood flick "Lord of Wars" also had the Rahman's Bombay theme music.



Great going for ARR and very good news for all music lovers.

rahmanically,
.shiva.
