Nobel Peace Prize showers on President Barack Obama....


President of the United States Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize for this year. From the time he has taken charge he was on a single mission, just to fix the relations with all those enemy tagged countries, stop ill treatment of prisoners, help protect the interests of invaded countries. He never stopped in his peaceful approach. He definitely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize...

War of the Social Networking sites - Guess the winner!!!


Here is a chart of comparison between the social media gaints Twitter, facebook and myspace and the number of unique visitors to these sites. Just saw this somewhere on the huge web and thought to share with you guys. Facebook is growing without any bounds and Myspace as usually has got its loyal visitors but what is interesting is the growth of twitter, that is now a days a bit on the down side, may be that's just a hiccup.

Windows 7 Launch Party Gift Boxes started arriving...



Previously I told you about Windows 7 launch party and the perks that Microsoft offers you, if you are one of those lucky winners who will host the Windows 7 launch party. Now the packs have started arriving and Gizmodo got its hands on one such gift box and guess what they have shown up those pics that were hosted on one of those lucky guy's website. Here they are.



As the pics are self explanatory, I am not detailing anything. But let me point out what is what. There is the party box which includes the contents of the box, a Windows 7 poster, a bag that is tattooed with Windows 7 logo, four streamers, some balloons, Win 7 cocktail napkins and of course the best part is here. You will also get a Windows 7 Ultimate signature edition - signed by Steve Ballmer himself. That's a catch isn't it???

Venky, Indian born, biologist wins the "Nobel"...


Dr. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, aged 58, who is a structural biologist by profession has been awarded with the most prestigious Nobel Prize in the field of Chemistry. Venky had his early education in the states of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat and then he has moved over to the United States to pursue his goals and now there he is standing tall with the Noble Prize.

I am proud that an Indian born has won the prize but I am a bit sad that he isn't from India right now nor were he nominated from India. It's ok but still he is Indian by nature, I guess. Achieving such a prestigious award is less to none. He is receiving this award for his work on proteins that control life. Congrats Mr. Venkatraman.

Yahoo logo makes a sound similar to "Yahooooooooo" !!!


Someone was telling me today about their new catch. Whenever you get a chance, go to the Yahoo search homepage and if you can see the exclamatory mark that ends the Yahoo logo. Try and locate the dot in the exclamatory mark and click exclusively on it. You will hear the dot screaming out "Yahooooooooo"!!! in a sweet lady voice.

Remember to pump up the volume and definitely it is not safe for work, remember this...

Stop dreaming now, start your day with some fresh mind....


Just thought to start your day with some refreshing comedy. This site phdcomics have got some cool and comedy stuff, go visit it...

Google celebrating the barcode invention...


Google is celebrating the barcode invention in its own way. Just look at the logo of Google in it's homepage of Google Search. You will now see a barcode in place of the usual Google logo. On this day 57 years ago a patent was granted to its inventors Bernard Silver and NOrman Woodland. Just thought to share with you guys...

Apple's Job offer letter...



You might have seen so many job offer letters from different companies like Microsoft, GE, Google or Youtube, but now I am presenting a job offer letter from none other than Apple. It looks more like a big ipod than an offer letter to me. What's common between an ipod and an apple job offer letter. They are white in color, they have an Apple logo on them and both of them will drag you into the closely knit Apple family. That's where the comparison ends.


But seriously guys just look at the job offer letter, it is soooooo boring. Of course, I heard that the pay checks are pretty heavy out there. If the checks are heavy, who cares how good looking is an offer letter.

Nature's fury in INDIA....



These are the heart paining pictures from the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, where the floods in one river has caused havoc everywhere and left lakhs of people homeless and killed hundreds of them. Crores of paddy fields and agricultural lands have now become cemetery grounds for the dead animals and humans. Still the floods aren't under control but a large part of it is over now.

This is just a picture of how nature can show its fury on mere human soles. This is just to show how unpredictable nature can be and how dangerous it can be. May all the souls of the dead Rest In Peace. May the almighty be with those who lost their near and dear. Hope those people stay strong.

Evolution of Cell phone - By Benj Edwards...


Here's an interesting article written by Benj Edwards for PC World website about the evolution of cellphones and he has got some great stuff about how the cell phones and their technology have evolved over time. It is one of the fastest growing areas of technology and definitely, we need to keep an eye on what's happening, what has happened and what will be happening. Here is a glimpse of the article "Evolution of The Cell Phone" by Benj Edwards.

In his Words, "From enormous, 80-pound, car-mounted beasts to tiny terminals in our back pockets, mobile phones have come a long way. What once cost thousands, weighed 2 pounds, and packed 60 minutes of battery life now costs $99, weighs 4 ounces, and packs 5 to 10 hours of battery life and also includes a full-fledged computer, a video camera, audio/video playback, and high-speed Internet access." This is what he says about the evolution of cell phones.

This article interested me a lot and I thought it might be as interesting to you as well. Just thought to share with you. Follow the link below.
