For last one week whenever I am trying to download attachment from Gmail I get this message, Oops the virus scanner has problem right now. Download at your own risk or try again later. Please check the screen shot above. Any other user who had faced the similar problem? is there a way around, as I do not want to download the files with a warning attached to it.

Recently Launched Konkan.TV Rocks with excess usage of 6,000GB bandwidth and Google page rank of 4. The site at another Web 2.0 featured site, similar to Y-tube and other video sharing site, with web 2.0 look and feel and features. Though the site targets Konkan Indian Community from Goa and Mangalore part of India, (Very sweet people move with, I have lots of Konkani friends though) we saw very wide varsities of interesting videos, some of them could dangerously fall in to copy right problems.
Similar to Smugmug the online photo sharing site, Konkan TV, also seems to be using Amazon S3 the Simple storage system from Amazon for the storing of the videos posted by the user.
In spite of of the pagerank sadly the site never seems to have made it Vdoogle.com New search engine VDoogle lets you search for video across multiple sites, including Dailymotion, Google Video, iFilm, and YouTube.The site currently indexes 14 video sharing sites. If its search results look familiar, that's because VDoogle is built on Google's new custom search engine.
In konkan tv, we saw shilpa shetty dancing with her sister. Aparantly these two young bollywood chicks also from Mangalore. Users are able to upload video content of any length to the site, but total file size must remain under 100MB. They can also tag videos, search for videos by tag, and leave comments for other users to read. But Konkan.TV does not offer nifty features like Soapboxs such as uploading taking place in the background of the web browser without requiring a standalone application and users can browse the available video selection while continuing to play another video on the side.
We felt the Konkan.Tv look and feel should have been vibrant, considering the Vibrant Community it is targeting, but sadly we left out with yet another adsense site, as Google's ads are prominent every where, even sometime, more than the Video itself.

The folks over at Hongkiat.com posted a great roundup of wacky keyboards that you’ve probably never seen.
I’ve seen a few of these at my local family-run electronics shack, but there are definitely a couple I’ve never even thought existed—a few of these are straight BONKERS.
Up top, we’ve got the Datahand Keyboard, which looks like it came straight out of ‘Flight of the Navigator.’ This keyboard features 132-keys and uses five key switches located at the tips of each of the fingers. The keyboard claims to reduce hand-strain while hitting hard to reach key combinations, like ‘ctrl+t’ to open a new tab. I’m sure lil’ David Freeman and Co. have a lifetime supply on order.
In the middle, we’ve got the Safetype Keyboard. I assume you’re supposed to type on it like you’re gripping a pair of love handles. A progressive design, but it looks like it can’t handle much punishment and could break easily, especially during some heated Unreal Tournament deathmatches.
And at the bottom, we’ve got the Tidy Typist. "The marriage of eating and tipping: the decorative tablecloth, made of felt, contains a textile keyboard. The electronic is woven into a fabric, which finds itself between layers of water resistant felt as sandwich material." I don’t get it.
Hop on over to Hongkiat to check out the rest of the list. And if any of you have used these, be sure to post up your experiences.

Los Angeles-based Artslant is a new arts community that just launched. Unlike many of these sites, it’s focused on offline interaction: listings of exhibits, shows and venues where you can find good contemporary art. These venues and exhibitions have user ratings, reviews and the ability to add them to a list of favorites. Look out too for RSS feeds, tagging and Google Maps integration.
Obviously there are also galleries of the work on show, and they seem to be getting some early traction: around 1,200 artists have already signed up. Like MySpace’s focus on music, it seems that if they attract enough artists, the art lovers will follow.
But the focus on art exhibitions also highlights a problem for outsiders: they’ve achieved a critical mass in California, but anyone who doesn’t follow the Californian art scene will have trouble finding any venues or events. Gradually seeding the site with influential artists from other areas would be the obvious way to expand.
