When it comes to pronunciation, names are the most common victims, names from another language which are not very common for us, we often commit pronunciation mistakes.

This awesome service allows you to learn the pronunciation of names and surnames, by listening to them, just access the service, choose the first letter of the name or surname, and the list of names which have tough pronunciation (if they are available in this database), will appear in front of you, simply click to listen the pronunciation, simple enough.

However the service lacks the feature, according to which there should be something like typing the spelling and getting the pronunciation for it, also the ability to get the spelling on the base typing the pronunciation would definitely be an added advantage for such kind of service.

Another issue which I faced was, the compatibility of site is not well with Firefox, the names and pronunciations are slightly misaligned if opened in Firefox, as shown below.

Though this service might not be the perfect one stop solution for the name and surname pronunciations, but still useful enough, try it and tell us what you have to say on this.

Looks like after the Windows SP 2 beta had been made public lot of people are still confused on how to download it. The problem is since its a beta release the update is not pretty much straight forward. I have started downloading it and here are the steps you can follow :

Check for any available Updates in your computer :

First run windows update from control panel and find if there is anything you have missed before downloading. SP2 needs SP 1 to be available. If you have already running windows update regularly you should already have it.

Update vista registry to accept SP2 update :

Next You need to update registry so the winows update will set your computer for getting the Vista sp2 beta. For doing this download the 

1.  SP2CPPRK.cmd.remove from this link
2. After the download rename the file from SP2CPPRK.cmd.remove to SP2CPPRK.cmd
3. Right click and run as administrator.
4. After you run check if you see the below message in your command prompt.

Check for new update:

Now again go and check for new update in windows update center. You will find a small update which will download the Vista SP2 Servicing stack update build. You might have to restart after this.

Once restarted your machine check for the udpate again and It will list the vista SP2 package of 297.5 MB in total. Depending on your connection it will download, for me it took like 30 to 45 minutes to complete.

Install it and enjoy the update

Bringing Cloud services to Desktop and Gladient does that. They have created a desktop application which allows you to navigate your Amazon S3 Storage, Windows Live Sky Drive , Google Docs and Picasa services like mounted hard drive in your computer. Its like bringing the cloud service to desktop.

This makes managing all your documents, storage files and pictures very easy. Now with just one click you can download whatever is required instead of going to the website.

Gladient comes with a credential manager which takes care of your login details. Moreover you can connect to any number of amazon or skydrive account . Its not limited to just one account. So now imagine how quickly you can copy from one amazon s3 account to another amazon s3 account without worrying the browser issue.

Update : Skydrive users might not be able to access this service as of now. The problem is the recent increase in space to 25Gb in skydrive which has made Gladient client a little incompatible. They hae announced in the blog and we all need to wait till they come up with new patch.
