how to make Windows 7 default when Dual Booting with Linux Mint 11

If you installed Linux Mint 11 alongside with your Windows installation, you will find that in the booting options Linux Mint 11 is set to the default OS to boot. If you want to make your windows to boot as default OS, you can do it via starup manager in Linux Mint 11.

To do this : Boot up your Linux Mint 11, click on Menu and then search for Startup-Manager and launch it. You can then chose your default Operating System (Windows 7 loader) from the drop down list.

You can also set the time before operating system loads automatically in the Timeout. There are also options for Display option but I recommend you to leave it as it.

Luxor 5 (a disappointment for Luxor fans)

Luxor is a game which made the concept famous for trail type match making game where you shoot a ball to make a match of 3 color. Luxor 3 and 4 was huge hit among the fans for its outstanding gameplay and graphics. Luxor 4 was a masterpiece (despite being buggy) and everyone was waiting for the next sequel, Luxor 5.

And suddenly, Luxor 5 appears. Fans cheered! But wait! The screenshot of the game seems weird! Is that the interface of Luxor 5, really? Ummm, the game got smaller too, but the feature says the game is bigger than the previous one and has many new thing. OK, lets trial...

WHOA!!!! Am I playing Luxor 5 or Luxor 1? May be the graphics designer just quit and they had to develop it without graphics . Here are some screenshots :

The game remains challenging like always. Everything is there but the story and graphics. I had complained that luxor 3 and 4 was bulky in terms of CPU consumption. even my "Call of Duty" capable machine couldn't run the game in full capacity. I think they considered it and failed to make the game lightweight, they made this.

If you just want the gameplay: Luxor 5 won't disappoint you.
