Microsoft recently released it’s flagship media player, Windows Media Player 11, for Windows XP. I’ve been using the beta version of Window Media Player 11 for a while now and it seems to be pretty well built. I particularly like the new user interface that it comes with. It’s kind of Vista’ish but that looks something different than the blue Windows XP world.
I like the concept that there is no Stop button rather it just has the Pause and Play buttons, which is one less confusion to the user. Also, it has support for URGE, the Microsoft version of iTunes Store and it seems like they both (Windows Media Player 11 and URGE) play well together.
The drawback that I could see is that there is no support for podcasters and that’s a pretty big miss. But if you don’t really care about podcasting then you wouldn’t be disappointed with this new Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP.
Download the Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP from here.
PS: As a Microsoft standard these days for downloading any softwares this download also requires a “Windows Genuine Advantage” check.

I had this domain parked somewhere else all these days. And I just moved this to point to this blog to make it easy for my visitors to remember. So from now on, you can reach this blog thru http://askars.net or http://www.askars.net as well. I thought it would be a lot easier for you to remember the short URL rather than the other lengthy one. So, here it is.
I really wanted to take this moment to say “thank you” to those of you who visited the blog quite frequently that in-turn made me to contribute more to the blog. I hope the posts were helpful to you and I hope to contribute with more posts that are even more helpful. Thanks again friends. Keep visiting.

This morning I was just trying to upload an avatar for my profile at WordPress. Okay, so it asked me for a picture and when I uploaded an image of mine it gave me this “Crop Image” page where it asks me to crop the portion of the image.
But, weirdly, there wasn’t a way to crop it. There are no controls available for me to crop the image. And so when I hit the “Crop Image” button it just uploads an empty image, a black empty image. Matt, or someone out there whom have done this before, can you guys let me know how to get over this issue?
Thanks in advance.
