And believe me there are many of them!</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px;">Here are 11 of these ‘jewels’ that have released in the recent past.</span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> </div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">1. Humshakals</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> 3 actors with triple roles? Sajid Khan take a bow! Sirf aap hi aisa kamaal kar sakte ho! A little part inside of me died while watching this movie.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <img alt="1" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1034" height="193" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/1.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="500" /></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">2. Dhoom 3</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> Bike Jet ski ban jaata hai. Phir vapas bike ban jaata hai! Aamir went for an out and out commercial movie, and well he raked in the moolah. But the film was poor. Heavily ‘inspired’ from ‘The Prestige’, being a huge Dhoom franchise fan, this one angered me.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <img alt="2" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1035" height="282" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/2.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="500" /></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">3.

Ask Abbas Mustan! Unlike the first part, the movie wasn’t even engaging. Put random twists and turns and make a script around it. And Race 2 is ready!</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <img alt="3" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1036" height="236" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/3.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="420" /></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">4.

The marketing made the movie seem like a champion movie. Sadly, I fell for it. And I regret it so much. Even Shahrukh’s acting couldn’t save this one.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <img alt="4" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1037" height="284" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/4.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="500" /></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">5.

Aisi picture banane ke liye bhi talent chahiye hota hai boss! With comic expert Akshay Kumar in the movie, this movie was a disaster from start to finish.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <img alt="5" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1038" height="360" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/5.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="500" /></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">6.

Himmatwala was scary. No it wasn’t a horror movie, it was just that bad. Ajay Devgan suffered the most from this venture, his hit movie streak came to an end with this one.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <img alt="6" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1039" height="150" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/6.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="200" /></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">7. Tees Maar Khan</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> There was nothing watchable in the movie. Maybe except “Sheila ki Jawaani”. Nah. That also got boring after a minute. If you haven’t watched this colossal waste of time, I envy you. You are a lucky, lucky man.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <img alt="7" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1040" height="281" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/7.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="286" /></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">8. Jai Ho</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> Bhai went out of his usual Masala action movies to a movie with a social message. And safe to say, it backfired. Big time. The movie was executed poorly. Bhai ki personality wasn’t enough to save this one!</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <img alt="8" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1041" height="196" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/8.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="245" /></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">9.

Terrible terrible movie. This movie will terrify you for eternity. In spite of veteran Paresh Rawal’s presence, this one was a bouncer for everyone. I walked out during intermission. 3rd degree torture.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <img alt="9" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1043" height="165" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/9.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="220" /></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">10. Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> Varma ji kya banaaya aapne? Ye kya tha?!!<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Bachchan sir was also in this movie. I have no idea why. This movie got more publicity post release than it did before its release. Because it was that bad.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <img alt="10" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1044" height="282" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/10.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="500" /></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">11.

Oscar worthy acting and Cannes award worthy direction! Disclaimer: Watching this might make you feel suicidal. Watch at your own risk!</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24.2857151031494px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <img alt="suicide" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1046" height="300" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/suicide.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 5px 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="500" /></div> </div>

He took 2 crucial wickets Hashim Amla & Faf Du Plesis. He was also involved in crucial run out of Ab de Villiers.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <a href="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MohitSharma.jpg" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #bc360a; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="MohitSharma" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10368" height="600" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MohitSharma.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 5px auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="400" /></a></div> <h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red; text-transform: capitalize;">3.

But Dhoni’s move of sending Rahane ahead of Raina paid off and Rahane scored 79 of 60 balls only.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <a href="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/rahanesouthafrica.jpg" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #bc360a; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="rahanesouthafrica" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10366" height="600" src="http://www.rajnikantvscidjokes.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/rahanesouthafrica.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 5px auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="439" /></a></div> <h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif !important; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px 0px 10px;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red; text-transform: capitalize;">4.

Their fielding also helped to take two crucial wickers of Ab de Villiers & David Miller. Even one out of these if kept going, then can change the match in no time.

5 Things Every Woman Needs to Know About Semen

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="float-with-ad" style="background-color: white; clear: left !important; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 519.34375px;"> <img height="320" src="http://cos.h-cdn.co/15/08/980x490/landscape_nrm_1424294148-144556386.jpg" width="640" /></div> <div class="float-with-ad" style="background-color: white; clear: left !important; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 519.34375px;"> Semen, also sometimes known as cum, (incorrectly as) sperm, or even boner milk, is as mysterious as dark matter. You heard tons of myths growing up: Being in a hot tub where someone has ejaculated can get you pregnant, Mountain Dew can make you sterile, and so much more. But how much of this is true and how much of it is gross old wives' tale? I spoke with Abraham Morgentaler, M.D., FACS, the author of <em>The Truth About Men and Sex</em>, associate professor of urology at Harvard Medical School, and the founder of Men's Health Boston, to differentiate seminal fact from fiction.</div> <div class="ad-gpt-vertical float-with-ad" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; width: 519.34375px;"> </div> <div class="float-with-ad" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 519.34375px;"> <span style="font-weight: 600;">1. Semen is not the Navy SEAL of bodily fluids. </span>"Unlike some germs, sperm are not particularly hardy," says Dr. Morgentaler. "They are designed to be deposited very close to where they need to go to create a pregnancy, and quickly die when exposed to heat, cold, changes in pH, drying, and even exposure to plain old water, let alone water treated with chemicals such as in a hot tub." So don't worry about going near hot tubs you think might have semen in them. I mean, you should worry. You should definitely worry. In fact, you should probably rethink your life choices if you find yourself in that situation. But you won't get pregnant. "Stories about sperm impregnating a woman from a hot tub or toilet seat are just that — stories," Dr. Morgentaler assures. </div> <div class="float-with-ad" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 519.34375px;"> <span style="font-weight: 600;">2. Actually, do stay away from hot tub sex though.</span>"Male fertility can be somewhat delicate. For this reason I tell my male patients interested in fertility to 'live clean and stay cool,'" says Dr. Morgentaler. The "live clean" part refers to drug use — Dr. Morgentaler cites evidence that marijuana, alcohol, and smoking (among other drugs) have been shown to reduce male fertility. The "stay cool" part is literal: Men who soak in hot tubs regularly can have lower sperm counts. ("Showers are alright, by the way," says Dr. Morgentaler.) But a lot of rumors about what will damage a guy's cum are untrue. "It is safe to use the microwave, exercise, and drink Mountain Dew," says Dr. Morgentaler. So basically, it's OK for a guy to take a shower while chugging Mountain Dew and heating up a Hot Pocket. Which is great news because any guy doing that is probably having sex all the time and needs to be propagating the species.</div> <div class="float-with-ad" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 519.34375px;"> <span style="font-weight: 600;">3. No, swallowing is not especially good for you.</span>"Semen does contain protein, as well as sugars that act as an energy source that allows the sperm to swim. However, I don't think we'll be seeing post-workout protein shakes based on semen anytime soon," says Dr. Morgentaler. So, there's no reason to swallow or get a facial other than it's really, really, really, really (really) hot.</div> <div class="float-with-ad" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 519.34375px;"> <span style="font-weight: 600;">4. Eating a bunch of pineapple probably won't make it taste any better.</span>"Some foods clearly make urine smell differently. The best example is asparagus," says Dr. Morgentaler. "However I'm not aware of any good scientific evidence that foods alter the taste of semen." So don't pressure you're partner into eating pineapple or avoiding asparagus right before sex. But Dr. Morgentaler does suggest that "maybe it's time for a placebo-controlled trial?" *Raises hand.*</div> <div class="float-with-ad" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 519.34375px;"> <span style="font-weight: 600;">5. If you're trying to conceive, don't have sex a bunch of times in the desert while he's on prescription drugs for a large prostate.</span>"The majority of fluid in the semen comes from a pair of glands called the seminal vesicles, with most of the remainder coming from the prostate," says Dr. Morgentaler. "The volume of ejaculated fluid will be reduced when a man is dehydrated and if he has ejaculated within the previous few hours." Some medications also reduce the amount of fluid, particularly those used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate (e.g. frequent or slow urination). And low levels of testosterone can reduce fertility, as well as the amount of semen. Of course, if you're worried about his semen, ask him to see a doctor.</div> </div>

Your partner's pubic hair.</span><br />It's in your teeth, on your tongue, and in your throat. It wants to take over your body and assimilate you. It's like <em>Contagion </em>but you are doing it to yourself! The struggle is real.</div> <div class="float-with-ad" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 519.34375px;"> <span style="font-weight: 600;">2. Your hair. </span><br />When you start sex, you want your hair to look all flow-y and gorgeous like Disney's Pocohantas's as she sings about what's around the river bend (just around the river bend!) but when you really get going down there, shit gets complicated because one-quarter of that hair <em>will </em>get in your mouth. But since you weren't totally planning on giving a blowie, you don't have a rubber band so you try to hold your hair back with one hand which means your other hand has to work overtime to both help with the blow job and also keep you propped up and finally you are so tired that you must start to use the hair hand and you're right back where you started, spitting out wads of sweaty strands and coughing up hairballs.</div> <div class="float-with-ad" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 519.34375px;"> <span style="font-weight: 600;">3.

When you're trying to take a nap and it's all in your face.</span><br />Didn't you <em>just</em> give him a blow job last month? That's like seven minutes ago in blow job time!

Brushing your teeth right after.</span><br />Which includes the other problem of <em>pubic hair in your toothbrush</em>. BRB, crying and then never sleeping again.</div> </div>

HP Stream 8 review

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Microsoft and its partner OEMs took their own sweet time for making 8-inch Windows 8 tablets mainstream as the OS is focused more on productivity than on content consumption. However, as consumer demand for compact tablets catches up, both don't want to miss the bus.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img alt="HP Stream 8 review" border="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" pg="" src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-46105112,width-663,resizemode-4/unnamed.jpg" title="HP Stream 8 review" vspace="0" width="663" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">While Microsoft has been trying to make the Windows experience as touch friendly as possible, device makers are bundling keyboards to make small Windows tablets as attractive to tablet users as possible.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">With the Stream 8, HP also attempts to offer a compact Windows tablet which is relatively affordable and packs in a number of features including 3G connectivity and GPS. Is the Stream 8 a good buy? We try to find out in our review...</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Build & design</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">HP Stream 8 is a good looking tablet which is also easy to lug around mainly due to its light weight (410gram) body and slim form factor (8.9mm). Made from plastic materials, the tablet features rounded corners and a black coloured, plastic glossy front panel along with a smooth back that sports a matte finish. The front panel is dominated by an 8-inch capacitive IPS touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280x800p.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/46105158.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">There's a capacitive touch Windows Start key at the bottom of the display (in portrait mode) and a 2MP camera lens at the top right. The right edge houses the power button and a volume rocker key while the left edge is barren. The 3.5mm headphone and the micro-USB ports sit at the top edge and two speaker grills are placed at the bottom edge.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The tablet's removable back cover hides a sealed battery, a sim card slot and a microSD card slot. Overall, we like the build quality and portability of the tablet.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Display</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">HP Stream 8 sports an 8-inch WVA IPS anti-glare, LED-backlit display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. Colours look vivid and viewing angles are good. Text and graphics look crisp and sharp. Black levels were also good.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/46105114.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">However, the display is reflective, hampering outdoor use as this issue affected sunlight legibility. Also, it's a fingerprint magnet. So you'll often need a cleaning cloth.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The tablet's touch panel features only 5-point multi-touch control but we did not experience any issues with touch response.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Software </strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">HP Stream 8 comes with Windows 8.1 with Bing, the new iteration of the Windows 8 for small devices. The tablet doesn't run Windows RT, Microsoft's tablet optimized OS that doesn't offer the ability to run legacy Windows desktop apps. Thanks to Windows 8.1, you can run all applications that can be run on a regular Windows PC or notebook, including Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop or Tally.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The latest version of the OS features a search button, ability to pin Modern UI apps to the taskbar, and boot directly to Desktop, among others.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/46105200.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The tablet comes with some pre-installed apps, including Connected Music, HP Support apps, Skype, and Amazon Kindle among other HP apps and casual games. These apps can be easily uninstalled if you don't require them.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The tablet also offers one year subscription to Microsoft Office 365.

In our tests, it lasted about 6 hours while using Microsoft Word, a picture editor, a music streaming service and playing some YouTube videos, keeping the screen at full brightness. In our video loop test, it lasted about 4 hours.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">HP Stream 8 has 32GB storage out of which about 20GB space is available to the user. With the microSD card, storage can be expanded up to 64GB. You can also use a USB on-the-go adapter to connect flash drives and hard disks.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The tablet supports 3G data via a micro-SIM card slot but doesn't offer voice calling.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">HP Universal Keyboard case</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">We also tested the HP Universal Keyboard case T800 that can be purchased as a bundle with the Stream 8 at Rs 2,990 or separately for use with any tablet at Rs 3,290.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The case has four flexible hooks that let you fit any 7-inch or 8-inch tablet to secure it. The case, when closed, looks like a folio folder that can be lugged easily around.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/46105190.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">It also features a detachable magnetic keyboard that can be used across multiple viewing and typing angles. You can also mount the upper fold of the case on the lower one to use your tablet as a mini notebook with the help of the supporting fold.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">However, we found the keyboard to be a little cramped and the tactile feedback was not as good as a real laptop keypad. It's only good as long as you use it for casual tasks like responding to emails or jotting down quick notes at a meeting.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The keyboard has a rechargeable battery that will last you 2-3 days with occasional use and can be charged via any micro-USB charging cable.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Verdict</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">So should you buy the HP Stream 8? At Rs 16,990, the device is a good mid-range Windows tablet. You can run almost all Windows 8 apps and most legacy Windows apps, so it's essentially a portable PC. The tablet would certainly appeal to road warriors who need to use Windows apps for work.The wireless keyboard offers an almost PC-like experience.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">However, it still lags behind the iPad and Android tablets when it comes to tablet (and touch) optimized apps. Despite Microsoft's efforts, the Windows Store still doesn't boast of quality Modern UI apps. Also, legacy apps including Microsoft Office are not built for touch screens and you'll have a hard time using menus and controls on a small 8-inch screen. If you're willing to spend a few thousand rupees more, you can get a compact touchscreen Windows laptop.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">If you're looking for a cheaper 8-inch Windows tablet and don't mind settling for a relatively less premium brand, the other option is the Notion Ink Cain 8 which is priced at Rs 9,990 but comes with 16GB storage</span></div>

HP Stream 8 review

Microsoft and its partner OEMs took their own sweet time for making 8-inch Windows 8 tablets mainstream as the OS is focused more on productivity than on content consumption. However, as consumer dem…
