Too many hackers seem to feel they're doomed from the opening scene of the mating game. Fortunately, picking up potential partners is a learnable skill. Even if you find that sexual tension reduces you to a tongue-tied clod or a babbling twit, there are steps you can take to get better at it. The first, most important thing for you to know is this; women can smell fear -- and they run away from it. When you're trying to pick up a girl, whether it's for a one-night stand or because you think she might be the love of your life, the most powerful thing you can do is to be unafraid of either failure or success. The flip side of this is that self-confidence is your best friend. As we discussed in How To Be Sexy , women can smell self-confidence too -- and they go for it like cats for catnip. It doesn't much matter exactly why you're self-confident; it could be because you're an alpha male in some hierarchy, or it could be because you've encountered the wom...

The discovery of a small fast spinning star known as a pulsar has led to astronomers to detect a companion planet, likely made of diamond. This is only the second time a planetary mass has been found orbiting a pulsar. The first planetary system outside of our solar system was discovered around a pulsar in 1992. The international research team led by Professor Matthew Bailes of the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne have published their findings in the journal Science . Co-investigator Dr Willem van Straten, also at Swinburne, says that this millisecond pulsar (MSP), so named because it rotates thousands of times per second, was detected in the Milky Way galaxy by the Parkes radio telescope. "To date, we've discovered 20 millisecond pulsars in the High Time Resolution Universe survey. All of them are in binary systems [where one object orbits around another], but only this one has a companion with a planet-like mass," says van Straten. He says have a stron...

Rolls Royce PHANTOM

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is another world. It’s not simply a normal car with more performance or more knobs on. In fact it’s got fewer knobs on. But its charm puts you in an entirely better frame of mind about life. Comfort It's blissfully comfortable. The huge doors (and the rear-hinged back ones) make it easy to get in, and once there you find masses of lounging space, a magical ride and near-silence. All the expected amenities are present too, but they aren't in your face: this isn't a gadgety car.
Performance The 6.75-litre V12 is more than adequate. Not brutal like a twin-turbo Maybach or Bentley Arnage, but graceful and buttery-smooth. And well able to overtake when it's fitting to do so. Auto kickdowns can be a bit jerky though, and there's no tiptronic over-ride.
Cool Anyone who resents a Rolls-Royce resents success full stop, because the owner will have spent their wealth wisely. This is a cool car as well as a great one.

CHEVROLET BEAT TDCI review

To cut a long story short, the Indica need not be worried. The Tata hatch is way more spacious than the Beat and can comfortably seat five. The Figo is also spacious and has that big car feel on the highway. The Micra… hmm… if we were Nissan and had just driven the Beat diesel, we would lose a few hours of daily sleep. The Beat diesel, to put it simply, is an honest, capable and fun car that sticks a carrot that reads: small, cheap and diesel. The engine is a 1-litre 3-cylinder making a dimunitive 56bhp. And no. Just because it weighs only 1027kgs doesn’t make it quick. This could have been a pocket rocket if it had 10bhp more. And you’d feel that lack of get-up-and-go initially, but once upto speed, the car is difficult to hold back. You can do a comfortable 120kph on the highway. The car feels planted, and if you push it, 140 will come soon. Ride has improved substantially in the diesel with the gas-filled shocks. It’s pliant, cushioned, and yet, planted. We reckon ride is w...
Volkswagen Jetta Highline review

Volkswagen is definitely on the charge and there’s little they are willing to stop at. They rolled out two new cars last year to gain favour with the Indian consumer and have taken it a step further this year. The new Passat was launched a few months earlier and now they’ve given us the brand new Jetta. Unlike the predecessor, this new car does not seem like a car carved out of a Golf and a Passat, instead it looks like the proportionate whole that VW had set out to make it. There is of course the slight area of contention where some of you might point to the fact that it looks entirely too similar to the Vento, but then family faces seems to be a thing that German manufacturers revel in. This new car of course shares little with the Vento beyond the front end appearance, in fact it shares little with the older Jetta. It is longer and wider like most new cars tend to be and it’s better equipped too. The interiors have also had a complete makeover and although the basic layout ma...

McLaren MP4-12C vs Ferrari 458 Italia One hundred and fifty- three miles an hour on the clock, on a bumpy little public back road in the British Isles, driving a Ferrari 458 Italia so yellow it'll make your eyes flinch. There's a matt-black superbike bucking away in front, something exoskeletal and racily mutated, wearing what appears to be a slick rear tyre and making a noise like a jet engine playing a kazoo. We are, currently, having a bit of a race. There's a rosy tint descending, and I'm urging the Ferrari on via a grip on the steering wheel that'll need my fingerprints polishing out of the carbon fibre. The throttle pedal is welded to the floor so hard my right calf is knotting like a spun rubber band. In a perverse trick of biology, my palms are getting slick while my eyes are drying up. I don't think I've blinked for the past three miles. There was a white McLaren MP4-12C occupying my rearview mirrors not so long ago, stooping at apexes with the ...

The LP as every one knows stands for Longitudinal Posteriore and this signifies the position of the engine whereas the 4 at the end stands for four wheel drive . AVENTADOR LP 700-4 TRAILER The looks of this car are well mean and we are sure that many of the Aventador’s Indian customers would prefer it that way. It is said that the Lambo Aventador is almost 29 percent more fuel efficient than the outgoing model as also 9 percent lighter. Boeing in which Volkswagen has some stakes was also instrumental in developing the body of the Lamborghini Aventador. The entire body is ...
BEST LAMBORGINI MURCILIAGO EVER MADE

CLICK ABOVE TO WATCH Enough with the spy shots and speculation, here it is folks: The Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. Bologna's best automaker has just released official info and pics on its latest mighty Murc, and this one tops them all. The LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is described by Lamborghini as "exceptionally purist". The description fits as the LP 670-4 SV is more powerful, lighter and therefore faster than the already pretty quick LP-640. As its name suggests, the LP 670-4 SV boasts an increase in power to 670 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque for Lambo's 6.5L V12, all of which was achieved through simply optimizing the engine's valve timing and tweaking the air intake system. Combine those extra bulls under the bonnet with a weight decrease of 220 lbs and performance figures begin to fall fast. 0-62 mph is now achieved in just 3.2 seconds and top speed is 212 mph with the standard, small spoiler.

There are many supercars built with the sole purpose of blowing your mind, but none of them can quite stir your soul and make you fall in love the way a ferrari can.

Forged from decades of Formula 1 experience and sprinkled with what can only be pure magic, this 4.5-litre 90-degree motor was built all-new from the ground up and sets many new benchmarks.

FORD FIESTA FACELIFT

The signs for, and from, Ford India for new additions to its model portfolio have been evident ever since the Figo began garnering rave acclaim and commercial success and this must have played a small but significant role in getting the Blue Oval to commit to India. This is what the world at large tends to look at and zero in on but a sector like the automotive industry is characterized by long lead times for development and production engineering. However, much one might suggest that the Figo is Ford India’s first ever block buster and therefore the new model development programme has been okayed by the bean counters in Detroit, it is anything but that. Pointers to this growth story come by way of the dedicated engine line set up at Ford’s facility near Chennai to make both the Duratech and Duratorq petrol and diesel two years ago and if that was not all further enhancements were made to upgrade both processes and production capability. In line with other OEMs gearin...
