The first ever images from 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1' have been released by Warner Bros. Which scenes do you think the images represent?
I cant say about the second picture but the first picture looks like Harry aka Daniel Radcliffe is inside one of the rooms in Grimauld place and cautiously searching.
The first trailer for Deathly Hallows 1 has also apparently been leaked. Looks good. But after the disappointment of Half Blood Prince, I am not too excited because they always make the trailers great, while movies mostly disappoint.
The body of American actor David Carradine, best known for the 2003 movie 'Kill Bill' and 1970s TV series "Kung Fu," was found in a hotel room closet with a rope tied to his neck and genitals.
The US star was in Thailand filming his latest film, Stretch, according to his personal manager Chuck Binder.
An autopsy into the death has failed to establish whether he killed himself or died accidentally from suffocation or heart failure during an auto-erotic sex game. Coroners at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn hospital added that they were waiting for the results of a toxicology screen.
"We are now running tests and then we will decide the cause of death," the hospital's chief coroner, Nantana Sirisap said.
Aurelio Giraudo, the hotel's general manager, said Carradine checked into the hotel May 31 and he last saw him June 3. He said Carradine chatted with staff and even played piano a few nights in the lobby as well as flute which the "guests really enjoyed."
"I was a fan. I had a very nice talk with him when he checked in," Giraudo told The Associated Press. "He was very much a person full of life. I mentioned to him that I had seen (the movie) "Crank" with my family and that was the last smile he gave me."
While his film career saw him working with directors including Martin Scorsese and Ingmar Bergman, the cult actor was considered something of a B-movie legend. In 2003, after years in the straight-to-video market, Carradine found a new audience thanks to his role in the Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill.
He was most recently seen on the big screen as a Chinese mobster in Crank: High Voltage.

Protein is one of the basic building blocks of the body. It is an essential part of your diet and can influence your strength but probably not your energy. Your muscles are built with protein and in fact protein is made up of 20 amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and 9 are essential, they cannot be created and must be eaten meaning the other 11 amino acids can be created by our body.
If you are a health enthusiast, you can use organic whey to loseweight, burn fat, feel energized, improve your health, and look & feel younger. Whey is the fluid that remains of the milk of any animal after cheesemaking. Cheese is made by clotting milk. After clotting the fluid is separated from the curd. This fluid is called whey. It contains approximately 50% of the lactose of the milk, as well as proteins, vitamins and minerals. The proteins are often purified and marketed as whey protein. Dried whey is called whey powder.
An even tastier alternative to whey powder are protein shots or protein shakes! A delicious drink with a whole lot of healthy nutrients to put your body in shape. However, if you are the traditional protein enthusiast, energy protein powder is probably still your best bet.
In the trailer, Dumbledore narrates the transformation of Tom Riddle -- "a boy who made all the wrong choices" -- into Voldemort and lays out the challenges now posed to Harry. Along the way we get various glimpses of the Inferi, explosions in Diagon Alley, and a fire at the Burrow.
Personally, I did not like this trailer as much as the earlier bigger trailer that was released by WB some months ago. That one had everything packed into a nice package. This one just goes from darkness to darkness. Oh well!
Harry Potter and the Half Blood prince will release on July 17, 2009.

In computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device.
A device driver simplifies programming by acting as an abstraction layer between a hardware device and the applications or operating systems that use it. The higher-level application code can be written independently of whatever specific hardware device it will ultimately control, as it can interface with it in a standard way, regardless of the underlying hardware.
Every version of a device, such as a printer, requires its own hardware-specific specialized commands. In contrast, most applications utilize devices (such as sending a file to a printer) by means of high-level device-generic commands such as PRINTLN (print a line).
Whether its HP drivers or Sony drivers, the device-driver accepts these generic high-level commands and breaks them into a series of low-level device-specific commands as required by the device being driven. Furthermore, drivers can provide a level of security as they can run in kernel-mode, thereby protecting the operating system from applications running in user-mode.
Most hardware manufacturers recommend you download the latest official (non beta) drivers on a regular basis to keep your computer running correctly. DriversSoftware.com has 3000 companies and 300,000 drivers listings for nearly every imaginable piece of hardware
Do you feel this is more or less secure than the old fashioned key lock?
Are you afraid that someone may steal your fingerprints?
What benefit would you think this has for your children to use instead of giving them a house key?
Did you know that you can program people to allow them temporary access during specific times? Who would this be good for? Do you see any problems with this?
Doors have locks to keep unauthorized people out, of course. Unfortunately, the reality is that door keys get lost, duplicated, or even worse… stolen. How about using a keyless lock? In fact, something more than that!
In this modern world when security is of critical concern, the Fingerprint Door Lock delivers an improved solution to an age old dilemma. The locks are easily installed on just about any standard door and provide businesses and homeowners with peace of mind, knowing that only the fingerprints of authorized users can access the lock. Forget about fumbling for your keys. After all, it’s a keyless lock.
Simply place your finger on the door lock and in less than 2 seconds, it recognizes you and you’re in. Never worry about losing keys or unauthorized duplication…ever! More importantly, secure any room with the most unique key on earth… your fingerprint.
Landlords can enjoy special advantages by using such a keyless lock, as there is no need to change locks every time tenants change, or spend time at the locksmith having extra keys cut. Also allows landlords access to all of their properties without carrying a large bunch of keys and eliminates worry about tenants failing to return keys.

While browsing the net, I casually spotted a book called Harry, A History - and as I read further about it I came to know that it was written by Melissa Anelli - the webmsitress of The Leaky Cauldron - one of the most popular Harry Potter fan sites in the world!
Well, another icing on the cake was that the book had a foreword by J.K. Rowling! The piece focuses on how J.K. Rowling "finally cracked," she said, in 2002, and "Googled Harry Potter."
"I had already heard of 'The Leaky Cauldron'; it was one of the biggest and most popular Harry Potter sites on the net, and I had been told about a couple of great things they had done....But I had never seen it for myself, never realised exactly what went on there. I sat and read editorials, predictions, theories that ranged from strange to wild to perfectly accurate. I was, frankly, stunned - and I remain stunned."
The article also points out how J.K. Rowling says in the foreword that the book has filled in "an enormous number of blanks," and that:
"At long last I understand what was going on while I was holed up writing, trying to filter my exposure to Potter-hysteria...a great chunk of my own life has been explained to me. Melissa has filled in an enormous number of blanks. Reading the book you now have in your hands has been an astonishing experience for me. It is as though I have, at last, achieved the ambition I held for years: To go along to a bookshop at midnight on Harry Potter publication night, in disguise, and simply watch and listen."
Well well, today I just got a copy of the book in my mailbox. Having read the first 2 chapters, I can say that anelli doesn't really have Rowling's falir with the pen, but I am definitely hooked!
You can order the book from Amazon or maybe get one at your local bookstore. Below are amazon links:
Meanwhile, Harry Potter fans are also eagerly awaiting the release of Tales of Beedle the Bard - J.K. Rowling's book of fairy tales that had a central role within Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

In the latest issue of Teen magazine, Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson spoke about their characters' romances in Half-Blood Prince in a new interview, which can be read below:
Daniel spoke about kissing Bonnie, teasing Rupert, and on-set shenanigans:
Dan Spills! What's the kissing scene like between Harry and Ginny Weasley? I think Bonnie (Wright, who plays Ginny) was maybe a bit nervous, and I probably was, too. It is very much the case that it's nowhere near as exciting to film those scenes as people would imagine them to be. I hateto disillusion everyone.
Did you give Rupert any advice on his kissing scenes? I wasn't there because they filmed the actual kiss after I had gone home one day. I couldn't watch it and laugh at him, which was deeply annoying. I love watching the scenes where Lavender swoons over Ron. I think there's a little bit of Rupert looking embarrassed, which makes me really laugh.
Is it fun filming a movie that has a little more romance in it? I prefer the dark stuff to be honest! The romance is fun and it's something people will really enjoy, but I personally like doing stuff in a cave where I'm close to death. It's a lot easier than romance.
What was a funny moment onset? Rupert, Emma and I displayed a total lack of professionalism because we could not stop laughing during one scene, and we didn't know why. I think it was partially because I had just seen a piece of film footage of a monkey in a little uniform riding a bicycle and I was thinking about that. I shared that with Rupert, which was a terrible thing to do because he started laughing. And then I think Emma just though, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
Rupert Dishes! We heard you checked out the top five actresses who auditioned to play Lavender Brown. What was that like? (Laughs) Yeah, I went to some of the final stages of the auditions. It was really cool to be involved in that side of it, not that I really had any say. There were some good girls, but we didn't do the kiss. We didn't even talk about the kiss until the day we actually did it. But Jessie (Cave), who got the part of Lavender, is really cool. Potions are a big part of the story.
How were you at chemistry in real life? I quite enjoyed it- the stuff with the Bunsen burners.- but I never went to school much because I did most of my learning onset. We didn't do many experiments, so I missed out on that.Rumor is there's a lot of Ping-Pong played on set and Emma is the one to beat!I don't like playing her because it's really embarrassing. She's so much better than me and Dan, but we're getting good. We're quite quick!
Emma's scoop! You'll have your first Harry Potter kiss in the seventh movie. How do you feel about that? I think it's going to be quite awkward, but I was speaking to Dan and Bonnie, and apparently, after a couple of takes it gets boring!
Do you ever work with the costume department on choosing Hermione's clothes? Yeah. As I've gotten older, I've been more involved. In the beginning, I found it really hard to understand that I was wearing clothes people expected Hermione to wear. I was 10 at the time and I'd get really upset about the clothes because I never would have worn anything like that in my life! I've been playing her for so long now that I can have more fun with it.
What's your secret to being the onset Ping-Pong champ? My parents played and they're really competitive. They never user to let me win, but I got quite good at it. Dan and Rupert were quite taken aback that I could beat them. I think Rupert took it the worst.

Apple is working on an application aimed at letting people remotely control iTunes in the home via their iPod Touch or iPhone, according to a report on MacRumors.com.
The application is described in information included with the iTunes 7.7 pre-release version that was made available to developers on Thursday.
According to the MacRumors report, the application will "presumably" allow people to play back their iTunes audio with the help of Wi-Fi. The report offers these details from the developers pre-release version, based on the "Read Me" area of the iTunes installer:
Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home--a free download from the Apple Store.
A-Patch for Yahoo! Messenger allows you to remove all advertisements from Yahoo Messenger and run more than one Messenger at a time, .i.e multiple yahoo messengers can be opened and signed in on the same PC!
A-Patch for Yahoo! Messenger doesn not really "patch" Yahoo, all it does is add some registry entries which disables the ads and enables multi-messenger for Yahoo Messenger.
At the moment it has only been tested with version 8.1.0.421 but it may also work for other 8.x versions of Messenger.
Meanwhile, be prepared to chat with gtalk users from your yahooo account and vice versa. Thats the latest agreement between the bosses at Yahoo! and Google Inc.
