Dynamic Movie subtitles

I and a couple of my friends've been burning midnight oil for quite a while now trying to figure out something interesting that we may pick up as a software project this semester. And we are coming up with some real good ideas. How about your media player applying speech recognition on a movie, generating subtitles in a language of your choice, just as the characters carry out their dialogues?

Don't think it'd be very "economical", the current subtitles schemes followed the world over which use timelines seem much more appropriate, but your version would sound snazzier at first go for sure ;)

Gmail Chat Disabled

The fact that it happened does not surprise me but that it took so long for our network administrators to figure it out does. And if you are wondering how do you disable Gmail's chat features on your network, you only need locking DNS lookups to chatenabled.mail.google.com , by returning 127.0.0.1 .

Pottermania

I'll have to admit that the nature of Pottermania is beyond my comprehension capabilities! As more and more fans of all ages and countries immerse themselves in Harry’s adventures, adding fuel to the belief that Pottermania is inescapable, I am purely and simply baffled by its ability to appeal to all ages. Bored by the inactivity prevailing in this muggle world, I began to read the first one of the series and immediately concluded that reading beyond the tenth leaf was something impossible. Undeterred, I watched the first movie. I Hated it. But with the evil-wizard becoming apple of more and more eyes with every passing moment, around the world, it could only have been something wrong with me and so I watched the second movie. And then it became so easy to establish that I loathed the Potter Kid! Just a passing thought - "Would it be a bad idea for a Potter special appearance in Oliver Twist? The poor kid could do with some wizardry."
