Digital art is making its way to museums and art galleries, but most of the artists are unwilling to accept it is a true art form. Computer screens are taking over the canvas and different tools being used to shape the imagination, though it is easier to translate one's idea by mixing the technology with creativity, few mainstream artist still believe; everything can be duplicated, the market is flooded with fakes anyway, nothing can be preserved as traditional art. While most of the amateur artist think it will bring democratization of art to express creativity with the help of technology.

On my personal view digital art is yet to gain acceptance especially for contemporary and meaningful art forms like sculpture, painting, sketching as it apparently miss the human touch. Though Museums and art galleries like San Jose Museum of Art & Albert Museum are started accepting for digital art collection, but does it gain positive reception and same value?

A British man 23 year old is such a big fan of Britt secret agent james Bond that he has now officially changed his name to include all 007 flicks. David Fearn has watched all the Bond movies and collected all the memorabilia of Ian Flemings character. Probably this was not enough so he went the extra mile and named himself after each and every film. Now David is officially known as JamesD Dr No thunderball you only live twice on her majesty's secret service diamonds are forever live and let die the man with the golden gun the spy who loved me moonraker for your eyes only octopussy a view to a kill the living daylights licence to kill golden eye tomorrow never dies the world is not enough die another day casino royale Bond. Wow! Cool Idea!

London: The new blond Bond Daniel Craig met his public as Casino Royale had its world premiere in London. Queen Elizabeth II, Elton John & Sharon Osborne were among those in the audience at Leicester Square on Tuesday as Craig made his screen debut as the suave secret agent 007.

Craig ,38, was every inch James Bond as he walked the red carpet in a tuxedo & black tie while hundreds of fans called his name. " I've never seen anything like this," he said. " It just incredible ."

Casino Royale, the 21st James Bond film & the grittiest to date, opens in Britain & North America on Friday. Craig said the movie shows how Bond became who he was.

" He makes a few mistakes, but at the end of the day he becomes Bond," he added.

The film was being screened at the annual Royal Film Performance, a 60-year old tradition that raises funds for performers' charity the Cinema & Television Benevolent Fund.

The Bond has his regular vodka martinis without liver dysfunction. Since 1962, Bond slept with 45 women yet, he hasn't fathered a child! Bond has killed over 200 men, yet hasn't spent time in jail. How does he always come clean ?

whenever he gambles, he only wins. Whenever he fires a bullet, it hits the target. Whenever he fights, he wins . Well, he is James Bond!

Bond's Bubbly

* In Dr No, we are introduced to his style of drinking when he orders a vodka martini, 'mixed, not stirred.'

* In Die Another Day, Bond offers Jinx Mojito, a Cuban mint julep after she emerges from the sea .

* In The Man With The Golden Gun, James drinks red wine at the cabaret
& later uses the same wine bottle as a weapon (obviously ,the bottle was empty!) .

* In future Bond movies, Bond is seen shifting loyalities from from martinis to other forms- be it in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, when he orders 'Dom Perignon '57" or in from Russia with Love, when Bond has a bottle of Tattinger Blanc de Blanc Champagne.

* In from Russia with Love, Bond demonstrates his ignorance about wine etiquette by asking for red wine to go with the fish, a combo that is considered forbidden.

* In You Only Live Twice, Bond has the Japanese sake at the correct temperature, 98.4F.

* In Moonracker, James Bond visit Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, & drinks Bollinger, which again validates martini not being his only favourite drink.

Bond's Buddies

Bond would have been a helpless child hadn't it been for his seven allies who guided him :

* M:'M' is the head of M 16 & Bond's boss.

* Q: What would Bond be without the very inventive 'Q' & his bunch of Q inventors?
* Moneypenny : Her works is restricted to making phone calls. But she also has a secret crush on him!

* Felix Leither: He was Bond's sole freind who guided him in many missions till sanchez killed him.

* Jack Wade : He calls Bond 'Jimbo', has several wives, has a tattoo on his butt of a heart & is his ally.

* General Gogol: He is the head of the USSR's KGB.

* Sir Fredrick Gray: The Minister of Defence appears only during the begining & the end of the movie.

Just imagine how Bond will perform if he enter the second life mission...

A poster girl with her immaculate features and flawless skin would inspire envy in many women that how her face and features has been skillfully transformed by computer wizardry. In a 75 second video, digital imaging widens the women's eyes, narrows her nose and facelifts her eyebrows plumps her lips and lengthens her neck. It shows that the styling and photo manipulation can add to beauty though that’s not real. Stephanie is turned from girl-next-door into glamorous hot model. Ceri Oest of Dove said " Our research shows that young women in particular are greatly influenced by the celebrity and models they see in the media and can feel inadequate about their own bodies when they compare themselves with the impossible perfection they see in magazine. Really flawless photos are a result of hours of styling and manipulation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz5IRdFIpvA#
