"WhatEver - Like - Youknow - JustSayin - Seriously" - Most annoying words

Do you want to kill a conversation ? Try saying "WHATEVER". For the third year in a row , It's "whatever" that holds the most power to annoy, Words like "You Know" and "Like" might be irritating to hear but the most annoying word of the year goes to "whatever".

Marist University in upstate New York gave five words to 1,026 adults and asked them to decide which one was the most grating.Nearly four in ten adults across the country - about 38 percent(down from 49 per cent in 2009) - told the pollsters "whatever" was their top choice for most annoying word.While it clearly has staying power, some balked at the thought that 'whatever', a word made popular in the 1990s cult film Clueless, was truly the worst thing to come out of society's mouths.

Nokia Lumia 800 - specs , review.

Once a dominant player in smartphones, a series of tactical errors and sheer arrogance eroded not only its market share but also mind share from consumers’ conscience.In just six months after hitting the reset button, Nokia announced its first Windows smartphones.There were lot of faithful fans,including me who wanted to see if Nokia could get back in to the game.There's a lot of hype surrounding the Lumia 800 than the other Windows mango phones -probably because the Lumia was supposed to be Nokia's great ‘comeback'.

SHERLOCK HOLMES , Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Movie reviews

Movie Name : - SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS
Runtime : - 129 mins
Rated :- PG-13 (Violence, Nudity)
Cast:- Robert Downey Jr.,
Jude Law,
Noomi Rapace,
Jared Harris,
Stephen Fry,
Kelly Reilly,
Rachel McAdams
Director:- Guy Ritchie


Plot : - Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) has always been the smartest man in the room...until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large-Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)-and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder-a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by Professor Moriarty. The cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead of Holmes as he spins a web of death and destruction-all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history.
