Webcam not working with Yahoo / Skype

My girlfriend studying in Germany got a Tevion 85572 webcam as her christmas present. After installing it and hours of struggle no one could make it to work with any of the VOIP messengers that also supports video streaming. Quite surprisingly video from the webcam could be seen with the software provided along but nothing could be seen on Yahoo or Skype webcam window.

We had to just leave it like that as we were not willing to waste anymore of our time. Few months later we tried to fix it again and almost after a hour it just clicked my mind and yes that is where the problem was.

It was quite obvious and at the same time also surprising that neither Yahoo messenger nor Skype messenger could detect the problem and suggest a solution.

Here is what the problem was:

Cat slips her walk again

A yet another wardrobe malfunction at Wills India Fashion Week has left the fashion freaks astonished. In Rajesh Pratap’s fashion show while he himself was in Paris,  Debby a Belgian model slipped off her dress accidentally on ramp which left her partially top less. Of course as soon as Debby realized she adjusted her dress back and continued with her ramp trip. Lack of time for fitting between fashion shows is said to be the whole and sole reason for such slips on ramp.

Sex starved Indian media immediately picked up and a censored version of the fashion show started floating across all the major news channels. Where sex education is considered as an attempt of introducing pornography in schools, such kind of incidents in fashion shows are going to sell like hot cakes.

More often considered as a popularity gimmick it rather brings embarrassment to the fashion designer for unreliability. And this incident seems to be adding to India’s own history of wardrobe malfunctions following two incidents in Lakme India Fashion Week with fashion model Carol Gracious and Gauhar Khan.
