After Angry Birds Ravio's Bad Piggies Now In Market

After great success of Angry Birds, Ravio launched Bad Piggies, Here is the shot review of 

the latest launched game.

Rovio, the game developer that created Angry Birds, is back with a new game. And this one stars the pigs — yes, the green smuggy foes of the angry birds — in the primary role. Rovio's last game, Amazing Alex, didn't really strike a chord with the gamers. It was not really a bad game but the gameplay relied too much on solving puzzle at the expense of fun. This is never a good thing.

With Bad Piggies, Rovio is returning back to its roots. Yes, there are puzzles in this game and it is significantly different than any Angry Birds game even if the familiar pigs are part of it. But still it is a game rooted in Angry Birds universe. The question is — Does it fly?

We find out...

Music, visuals and story

Story first. We all know that how the pigs salivate at the thought of eggs. They just can't keep themselves away from these eggs, even if it means going to war with the birds.

In Bad Piggies, the greedy green creatures are on an island. As usual they are after eggs. But to reach eggs, the pigs have to build various machines that allow them to pass obstacles or fly so that they can reach places high up on cliffs. This is where you, the player, come in. your job is to build the ultimate flying machine for the pigs from various parts that are available in the game.

Petri Jarvilehto, a senior executive with Rovio puts it like this: "Where Angry Birds was all about destruction, Bad Piggies is all about the joy of construction."

Bad Piggies is a pretty game. Given that it is set in a tropical island, there is lots of green foliage. If you have played any recent Angry Birds game, the visuals in Bad Piggies will make you feel at home. The visual style is same and the backgrounds are as detailed as Rovio makes them. However, the environment is not as destructible as it is in the Angry Birds games. The accompanying music is very good and compliments the gameplay very well.

Gameplay

Rovio set a very high benchmark with Angry Birds. It is a game easy to play and yet complex enough to challenge best players. It is casual and yet fun.

Bad Piggies aims to recreate the same magic, though with a different kind of gameplay. The puzzles in Bad Piggies are slightly more complex compared to those in Angry Birds. The task is to create good machines that pigs can use and to do that players have to carefully think about the role and placement of various items like a box, balloons, TNT and rockets etc. This is a little more difficult than flinging birds from a slingshot.

Another way in which the gameplay has changed is the way points are awarded. In Bad Piggies there is nothing to destruct. Instead the goal is to collect items. If you collect all the available items, you get three stars and if you complete the objective without collecting optional items, you get one star.

Bad Piggies is a lot of fun once you get the hang of tools and components available to you. But at the same time it is not Angry Birds. Primarily, there is one reason why many casual gamers who love Angry Birds may not like Bad Piggies. It is the nature of the game. Whether it is a good thing or bad, the truth is that as human beings we have more fun when we destroy things. Building things is a little tedious.

Angry Birds appeal to many of us because the objective is to flatten the fortification put up by the pigs! Smashing through the wooden planks, putting the black bird in between two stone pillars and killing the hidden pigs with a boom is immensely gratifying. Building flying machines has its own charm but it may not appeal to all.

Also, we did not like the new point system. Unlike the arcade-style point system in Angry Birds, where even destroying a flower yielded 50 or 100 points, in Bad Piggies all you get are stars. The arcade appeal is not there.

If you love playing casual games on your smartphone or tablet, you will likely spend hours with Bad Piggies. It's an enjoyable game, especially once you have crossed a few levels and are familiar with the way things work. Just don't expect it to be Angry Birds.

What Wipro, HCL, Infosys want in next generation leaders?

Check what actually the best companies HCL, WIPRO and INFOSYS are looking for,

We will discuss what they want in next generation leaders..

According to the news in Times Of India Bangalore Infosys, Wipro, HCL and others are drawing up a new checklist of traits they want their next generation of leaders to have. 

"One needs to have more courage now," says Matt Barney, vice-president and director, Infosys Leadership Institute, referring to employees in leadership roles. "It takes courage to predict what may happen with clients and businesses on a cognitive and computational front." Barney is also on the lookout for those who can learn and are innovative enough to interpret complex problems and come up with practical solutions that clients can apply. 

For Barney, such traits are specific to IT because of the faster pace of change. "Till few years back, there was no cloud and before that no Java... one needs to be disruptive here," he adds. 

Wipro is putting junior and middle management employees through psychometric tests to spot leaders with resilience and detachment. Those chosen are then measured on how they have bounced back from failure. Ability to cope with setbacks is emerging as crucial trait in a volatile economic environment. 

Last year, an MNC IT firm appointed a 39-year-old as head of its business unit in India. Though he was of Indian origin, he had never worked here. He struggled initially. Later, he and consulting firm E&Y changed business tactics. The duo altered business model, made performance management razor sharp and had weekly sales performance reviews instead of bi-annually. He stabilised the Indian business in 18 months. 

"While the last downturn was a lesson for senior leaders, this dip in business cycle is for the younger lot to learn from," said Milan Sheth, technical senior trade and partner at E&Y. 

Business model changes forced by the global economic slowdown are forcing changes too. IT companies are moving to a non-linear model where they are trying to delink revenue growth from the need to hire more hands. 

In the last five years, the average revenue earned per employee in the sector has increased by 19-20% for companies like Infosys and TCS. 

"Earlier, more people on payrolls meant more revenue. But now, clients want more services from a smaller manpower," said PrashantBhatnagar, director - hiring and staffing for SapientNitro, marketing-technology division of technology firm Sapient. "This means hunting for those who are adaptable to disruption and change, can take risks and shorten their tenure of failure quickly," he added. Bhatnagar estimates that around 12% of 2.8 million industry workforce could be thrust in roles that could demand some form of leadership. Sapient employs 7,000 in India and has tweaked its talent selection procedure to seek out candidates who are comfortable with unknown settings. 

IT services firm HCL wants employees who are capable of engaging with clients across different geographies, social and economic backgrounds. "We need employees who are good at problem solving, understand different industries and not just IT. Someone who disrupts our status quo and questions our ideas", says NaveenNarayanan, global head - talent acquisition, HCL Technologies. Narayanan gives the example of a junior employee who came up with the idea of an in-house social media portal. Though the senior management was sceptical about the idea, the employee persisted and managed to convince the top brass on need for it. Today more than 3/4 th of the employees are on it. 

Aegis has picked a crack team of 500 employees with an average age of 25-35 years from its 57,000 strong workforce to help it beat competitors on price and margins. Aegis will put this lot into live projects and assignments that deal mainly with cost optimisation and negotiation with clients along with mentoring sessions. "There was not so much focus on costs earlier and now we need employees who are good at people management in these tough times," said SM Gupta, HR head for the company. 

This sector hires around 2 lakh engineers in a year and according to a Randstad study is expected to add 227,328 jobs till the end of 2012. "Till now, concentration was more towards engineering which has left space for coaching in leadership development," says Infy's Barney. 

Mid-rung IT firms that employ only a few thousands have it tough as well. They do not have the luxury of keeping people on the bench to train them. Training needs to happen even as they are executing contracts. "We need those who are good at managing paradoxes-change in business cycles that are more frequent now," said C Mahalingam, HR head of Symphony. 

While earlier these companies could afford employees who could take risks rarely after much deliberation, today they need managers who can place bets often and get them right at first shot. A lot, who can ruthlessly stop businesses that do not pay, include training only where it is needed and cut investments that take time to mature, Mahalingam added. 

The company, therefore, has changed its mentoring route that is focussed on "management of paradoxes." During leadership training, focus is now on finding answers to problems that have more than one solution rather than an 'either/or'.

How To Prevent your Blogger Blog from Redirecting to Country-Specific URLs

Google, as most would know, redirects Blogger blogs to country-specific domains. For instance, if you open example.blogspot.com in your browser, you might be redirected to example.blogspot.in if you are located in India or to example.blogspot.com.au if you access the same blog from Australia.

The main reason why Google implemented country-specific redirection is selective censorship – they can now easily block a blog, or a particular page on a blog, in one country but still serve it in other regions.

Blogger and Country-Specific Domains

My traffic logs suggest that country-specific redirection in Blogger is now live in at least 15 countries. Here’s a complete list:

India [blogspot.in], Australia [blogspot.com.au], UK [blogspot.co.uk], Japan [blogspot.jp], New Zealand [blogspot.co.nz], Canada [blogspot.ca], Germany [blogspot.de], Italy [blogspot.it], France [blogspot.fr], Sweden [blogspot.se], Spain [blogspot.com.es], Portugal [blogspot.pt], Brazil [blogspot.com.br], Argentina [blogspot.com.ar], Mexico [blogspot.mx]

Prevent Blogger from Redirecting to Country-Specific Domains

This country based URL redirection does mean some negative consequences to your Blogger blog. For example:

1. The social stats – or Facebook Likes, Google +1s and Tweet counts – for your blog stories may be diluted as the URLs for the same story become different from different visitors.
2. You will have a similar problem if you are using an external commenting platform like Disqus or Facebook Comments.
3. Also, if canonicalization isn’t implemented properly, it may cost you some Google juice as external websites may link to your country-specific pages.

If you are not happy with the idea of Blogger redirecting your blog to a different URL, you can add the following piece of code to your Blogger template and it will always serve the .com address to your visitors irrespective of their geographic location.

Go to your blog inside the Blogger Dashboard and choose Template. Then click the “Edit HTML” button followed by “Proceed.” Next, copy-paste the following code into the template after the <head> tag.

<script type="text/javascript"> var blog = document.location.hostname; var slug = document.location.pathname; var ctld = blog.substr(blog.lastIndexOf(".")); if (ctld != ".com") { var ncr = "http://" + blog.substr(0, blog.indexOf(".")); ncr += ".blogspot.com/ncr" + slug; window.location.replace(ncr); } </script>

Click the Save Template button and now your Blogger Blog will always serve with the blogspot.com URL.

This simple script parses the domain name (document.location.hostname) of your blog page and if it includes a country-specific URL (like blogspot.in), it will force-redirect the visitor to the blogspot.com address using the /ncr switch.Click the Save Template button and now your Blogger Blog will always serve with the blogspot.com URL.

How To Download Wikipedia And Take It Anywhere Offline!

Wikipedia is the world leader in providing information. You can find information there on virtually any topic you can think of, from sports to gaming to tourism, and many out-of-the-blue kind of topics. It has rightly earned the number 6 spot in website rankings worldwide according to Alexa rankings. But the problem with Wikipedia is, you can’t access the information offline. You need to have connectivity to the internet for accessing Wikipedia, which makes Encyclopedias somewhat of a handier option. But now, with your smartphones, tablets or PCs, you can download Wikipedia, and access it offline from anywhere in the World! Here are 5 ways you can take Wikipedia offline.

1. WikiTaxi

The guys at Wikipedia themselves provide Wikipedia dumps, which are updated regularly. These are archives of their entire database, usually in the form of .xml files. These are large files up-to GBs in size. You can download them using a download manager. Once downloaded, they can be read by a software called WikiTaxi. Once downloaded, you can import the dumps into the software, which will then uncompress them and render them for use.

2. Zipedia

Zipedia is another easy solution for accessing Wikipedia offline. It’s a Firefox extension that browses the website offline. You just have to download the same Wikipedia dumps as for WikiTaxi. And you can then use this tool to open the dumps in the form of a webpage.

3. WikiSlice

WikiSlice is another great tool that works in a different way. Forget those large databases that take forever to download. For those of you who go on Wikipedia a lot, you can use the WikiSlice browser tool or the desktop application to save Wikipedia articles for future reading. Ideal if you don’t want the excessively large database dumps.

4. Wiki Offline App

Wiki Offline is an iOS that allows you to download Wikipedia directly to your iPhone or iPad. You can download the entire Wikipedia database, and access it offline. Images are not included by default to minimize the size, but if you have internet access, you can get images directly too.

5. Wikireader

Now this one is for gadget lovers out there. You can buy this cool, info gadget from any large store. It has a 3.5 inch capacitive touch-screen, and is portable, just like your cell phone. And it costs just $99! It can accommodate millions of Wikipedia articles, and can be updated for the latest content!

Those were the top 5 ways you can download Wikipedia offline. If you have questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below. We’ll be obliged to help

Free Face Recognition Software for Windows 7 To Automatic Log in

Now days technology is changing very rapidly and every day something new discovered. Now Login to windows 7 through Face Recognition using a web-cam is one of the enhancements; a lot of us experimenting. Not only this save our typing but also is a more secure way if very much conscious about the security issue.

If you are also using Windows 7 and do have a webcam attached to the pc then you can test this a very little and tiny application called Blink; which may enable you to  log in to windows just by looking into the webcam only for just a second and your account wil be logged? How this is made possible because of the free software BLINKby Luxand which employs the advanced face recognition technologies to provide automatic, quick and reliable log in to one or many computer users.

Windows 8 is expected to have an Android like pattern logon screen where users can set a password based on user patterns. That can turn worth while on touch screen devices and get rid of the boring text passwords. That being said Windows 7 users don’t have anything cool to boast about at least when at logon screen. Neither do we have pattern logon or facial recognition screen in stock OS. While pattern logon may hit Windows 7 in the form of third-party app soon (Developers! Developers!) here is a free facial recognition software add-on. 

This tool can be used as a free alternative to the commercially available “Fast Access” face recognition software that comes installed on many Dell laptops. Unlike Blink!, Fast Access being a premium product is feature rich.

How To Make Bootable USB Pen Drive for Windows 7

Installing Windows from a USB flash drive has several advantages : 
First of all, the overall speed of the installation process will increase significantly, carrying a USB stick is much more convenient than a DVD, and finally it becomes possible to install the OS even on those systems that do not have a DVD drive, such as a netbook.

 

In this post, I will show you how to load the Windows installation on to your USB flash drive and make it bootable just like the DVD.

There are Two Options:

1. Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool.

2. Basic Option.

DISKPART

This will start the Microsoft DiskPart utility as shown below:

 

Now issue the following command:
LIST DISK

This will show you a list of  available disks on your system. Disk 0 is usually the hard disk. In my case, Disk 1 is the USB drive (this can be a different one in your case). Now issue the command as shown below:

 

 SELECT DISK 1

 

above command, 1 is the USB drive number on my system. If you have a different number on your system, then you need to replace 1 with that number.
Step-4: Now issue the following list of commands one by one as shown below:

CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
ASSIGN
EXIT

 

Close Power Shell and proceed to the next step.

Step 5: Insert the Windows 7/Vista installation disc and note down the “drive letter” of your DVD drive. In my case, it is “H:”.

 

Open the command  prompt. If you are using Windows 7/Vista then open it with administrator rights*.
* Goto Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right-click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run as Administrator”.

Now type the following list of commands as shown below:

EXIT

 

Step-6: Copy the contents of your Windows 7/Vista installation disk into the USB flash drive.
Directly Copy-Paste All DVD file into Usb Stick Then…

Your USB stick is now ready to boot and install the OS for you. Don’t forget to enable the “USB Boot” option and change the “Boot priority to USB device  from hard disk” in your BIOS settings.
