Wubi 8.04, errors while installing

While running Wubi.exe got from Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS (Hardy Heron) download page http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/,

The error shown in screenshot occurs.

The problem seems to be because of mismatch between Wubi.exe and download URLs in http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/. To solve this problem download the Wubi.exe for 8.04 from Wubi SourceForge site http://sourceforge.net/projects/wubi/files/Wubi/

Web Performance Test Tools

Tsung
Grinder
JMeter
Faban

From my analysis all the above tools are good and offer advanced features.

jQuery Grid / Table Data Plugins

Common requirement in any web application development is to show data in Grid / Tabular format.

I suggest using jqGrid plugin, because it offers all the features that will be required in a Grid from simple to advanced. And also it is coupled with jQueryUI which allows you to theme the Grid in sync with jQueryUI themes.

Here is a stack overflow thread which discuss about best jQuery plugins for Grid or Table.

From what I can understand after seeing the video hosted on http://www.google.com/tv/, it’s a Google search interface for TV channels.
Also there is feature to bookmark TV channels.

Cooliris gives a interface which seems more natural for viewing photos or videos instead of clicking next and previous buttons.
This interface seems to be similar to the one shown in this TED talk presentation
