Flying with the birds - Oh Scary!!!

This was the picture taken when a Boeing jet of Germania airlines was taking off. This flight was on its way to Kosovo from Dusseldorf airport with 80 on board. Then this happened, that a flock of around 200 birds came straight into the path of the airplane and guess what happened. These birds either struck the cockpit area or were sucked in by the enormous engine of the flight and then they turned into ashes.


There were a lucky few birds that escaped with minimum damage but whats more scary about this pic is that, these birds could have brought down the flight within a matter of seconds if they had hit the wrong place of the flight. Enlarge the pic above to have a clear view of the birds.

What is Google Wave - Slight introduction, my way!!!

Yesterday every where in the news channels to newpapers to facebook and twitter, everyone was buzzing about the new Google Wave and its 100,000 invites but what exactly is Google wave. I will definitely not tell you what it is all about but can guide you to someone with more knowledge about it or someone who got hands-on this one.

Actually I was one of those early birds who asked Google for the new Google Wave access but haven't yet received any invite from them. It's ok I am not upset or something like that, by the way who cares for one............ Baaaaahhhhhhhhhhh I want an invite!!! BAAhhhh I want an invite, I am desperate, the world is gonna end....


Ok seriously in the words of Mashable, Google Wave is a real-time communication platform, which combines the aspects of e-mail, instant messaging, social networking, web chat, project management and wikis. Waves can be embedded on any blog or website. Just like a facebook application, developers can build their own apps within the waves.

Google Wave is an open source application which means it will be easily innovated and can be adopted by developers with less trouble. You don't need to upload a file or attach it, you can just drag and drop the files so that everyone else can access it. That's so easy.

Right now I don't have access to one account of Google Wave, hence can't divulge much information about it to you. But once I get access to it, I will give maximum information about it. Keep cool, you will get access pretty soon as well....

Google Wave "invites" rolling out - grab yours now....

Just now saw in LifeHacker that Google Wave has started rolling out invites to some of those 100,000 lucky guys. They have stated in their blog that guys from Australia are the first to receive the invites as it is 11 am in Oz. This is because, they claim that the Wave team is based in Sydney, Australia and hence they are the first guys to receive the Wave invitations.

If you receive one of those 100,000 invites then you will be lucky enough to score 8 extra invitations of your own which Google Wave team will review and invite them as well. Right now they will be inviting those 100,000 first and in the coming days they will be inviting those extra 8 guys whom you will invite in due course of time. Waiting for my invite with my eyes wide open and my mail running wildly....

Why should we blog???

Why should anyone blog? Is blogging a fashion, is this a trend, is blogging done just to impress your girlfriend or to make others around you look stupid. None of the above is my answer. Why I started blogging? I clearly don't remember but I surely can say that it was my evergrowing curiosity to know what's new. This curiosity of mine has pushed me, rather dragged me into this trade.

Firstly, it was like a hobby for me to write some stupid things in my blog, then entered the new softwares that I used. I even blogged about politics, sports and stuff like that. But in the initial days, I did not take it seriously. But once my audience increased I started blogging on different issues and most of the time the words in the blog came from my heart rather than my mind. But I never thought this to be a fashion, trend or something like that. That's the main reason that I did not tell to anyone about my blog unless asked by them. A very few people know about my blog till date. But let me tell you, who ever knew my blog, they know one thing that there is no unrelevant hatred, questionable voilence, unreasonable use of filthy language.

But these days when I visit some blogs, they are either solely maintained for money or just as a fashion statement. I rarely find genuine blogs except for a few, where the blogger keeps his heart out when he writes something and you can very rarely find an objection in the blogs. But actually why should we blog?

Blogging brings out the inner self in you. You might want to show your anger on some issue, you might want to write what you like about a movie, or you might want to show your feelings on some issue but can't say that publicly. Here is a solution, the blogs help you vent out your anger, spread your love and show your feelings to the entire world. One final word, blog more not to hog the limelight but to flag off your inner feelings and race towards the eternal truth "Living Life King-Size"...

Apple Tablet - New Details emerge amidst rumors of non-existence....

There were so many rumors regarding the ipod Touch with a cam in it but it turned out that they all are just rumors. And now there are rumors that are going around about the Tablet from Apple. Previously mentioned that it will be coming out in the first quarter of 2010 and the rumors are now pretty confident that it is going to be at least announced in that time frame. These rumors come into light just days after details emerge about the Tablet PC "Courier" from Microsoft.

New details about the Tablet from Apple say that::

* Apple has created 3 different variants of the Tablet PC.
* It runs on Apple Iphone OS
* They have given out details that it looks exactly like Iphone 3G and it sure does have a curvy back, just like the Iphone 3G.
* It will come in two models, one with the 3G enabled and the other without the 3g technology in it, which means there will be a difference in price as well.
* Screen resolution will be something close to 5X or 6X compared to the screen resolution of the present iphones and ipod touchs'.
* It is a direct competition to netbooks.
* It will most probably be announced by Apple on or before January 19, 2010.

Hope you like these rumors. Stay cool, will update you with more rumors until Apple makes an official statement about this cute little thing.

Can we eat a Computer Cookie??? - "NO"

When I started using the computer basically I never used the computer, I just used to open the Internet Explorer 6 and access my mail or some *&^%^&%$#^ websites., you know what I mean. Back then, when you don't want others to know what you have accessed through the IE, you just had one option to delete all the cookies and history from the browser. I just did that but was always worried what these cookies are???

Cookies are like a tag placed on your computer by the websites that you visit. It is more like a file that stores information about the site, the pages that you visited on the site and the information that you stored on the site like usernames, passwords and things like that. When you visit the same site again and if your cookies are still intact, then the website recognizes you and grants you access instantly.

These cookies fall into two types:: Temporary cookies and permanent cookies. Temporary cookies are cleared off as soon as you close the browser or a session but permanent cookies are stored permanently on your computer hard drive and even if you delete them will be recreated again as soon as you access the website.

You now have the option to allow or disallow cookies at will and you can play around with them. But having cookies disabled will greatly decrease your access speed on a website and just not that you have to re-enter any kind of information you gave in previously. Now you know what a Computer cookie is all about...

Pepsi puts a stop to Advertising !!!

Yes you heard it right, the soft drink gaint has declared that it is going to stop advertising with an immediate effect. Don't know why they suddenly took this drastic decision but now they definitely are not going to advertise any more. Pepsi was involved in making of some of the greatest advertising videos ever pictured. Michael Jackson, Britney Spears were some among the hundreds of celebrities who have campaigned for Pepsi.

Now there is an interesting twist to the tale. Pepsi is known to invest around $1.3 billion budget yearly just for advertising and now this money is going to go as fat check bonuses to its lowly paid employees and also into the umpteen number of charitable trusts that are spread around the world. This is good. Love you Pepsi, from now on I will drink Pepsi without much hatred towards its taste.

Microsoft Security Essentials - Ready for your PC...

Previously I discussed here in my blog about the beta version of Microsoft Security Essentials, the new, free version of anti-virus from Microsoft. Today it has left its beta tag behind and is now ready for download and its free.

The key features of this release include a previously known bug fix in the beta version and it is bundled with comprehensive malware protection, simple download, automatic updates and they claim that it is easy to use. Microsoft claims that this anti-virus runs silently in the background and doesn't eat up much of your resources.

The download size measures 8.61 MB and it is supposedly easy to install. If you are content with your anti-virus that you are using now, then stay cool with it, don't even think about migrating to Security Essentials but if you wanna try this new toy, then you can go ahead. But I warn you, it is still in its baby steps so be careful.

Tips to get the maximum out of your "Cell phone Camera"

I am one of those guys who is really lazy to buy a decent camera and still strive on the in-built camera of my cell-phone. And seriously I don't feel like I need a camera until it gets dark or when I am traveling. I use the 3 odd MegaPixel camera built into my LG incite cell phone most of the times for my photography.

The pictures of the mushrooms that I took are taken with the little camera at the back of my cell-phone. That means I rely a lot on my cell camera and definitely I am in a better position to advice about the do's and dont's when you are using a cell-phone camera for your photographic needs. Here are a few of them::

* Make sure that the object of interest is well-lit.
The light factor plays a big difference when you are photographing using a little lens like that of your camera phone. You need to make sure that the object that you want to capture is in a perfect position for you to capture the maximum amount of light. This is a must to avoid dull pics.

* Take multiple shots.
If you don't need to care about your phone memory that supports your photos, then my advice is to take as many photos as you can. Later on you can chose between the best and the better ones of the lot. That way you can save the best ones and boast of them later on.

* Clean your lens often.
This is one tip that most users find hard to follow just out of laziness but this is really good tip. Just make sure that you clean the lens once in a while, may not be daily. This will help you get some good photos without that blurry layers on top.

* Use the highest resolution available.
Before I knew about this tip I used to mostly rely on the resoultion of 640X480 or 1600X1200 for my photos, but when I came to know about the effect of resolution, I started experimenting and found out that taking the photos in the maximum available resolution helps you capture more detail and helps you later when you want to edit them out.

* Never use Digital Zoom
If you want to have your photos of good quality, my advice is never use the in-built digital zoom. Optical zoom is preferable if available but digital zoom does a lot of bad to your photos by decreasing the quality of photos.

* Try to stay still.
Right now and according to my knowledge, there are very less number of phones that support Image Stabilized cameras, which means you need to stay as still as possible to get the best pictures, otherwise you will end up with some blurry pics.

* Stay near the subject.
If possible try and stay near the subject of interest and try to take your pictures in more like a profile model than in panaromic way.


- These are a few of the tips that I came to know while I have been capturing pictures on my mobile phone. Thought to share with you. Will be back with more interesting articles. Till then stay cool and stay free...

Global Warming is it really real???

From my childhood, I have been hearing these words of Global Warming, Greenhouse gases and things like that but are they for real? Yes says the pic below. There have been millions of proofs that point towards the activities of humans that have been the chief causes for carbon dioxide emissions that in turn are leading to Global Warming.


These green house gases are forming a dangerous layer around our mother earth and are acting like a greenhouse and absorbing lots of suns heat and creating a trap for all the heat and not allowing it to escape away from earth. This phenomenon is called Green house effect.


Just thought to revise your knowledge on global warming and make few minds think about it and take some kind of action against it. There is no global warming day or week coming up but just wanted to remind you all where our world is going and in which direction we all are heading. Stay safe guys...

What is a 3G network, enlighten yourself !!!!

Basically the 3G network derives its name from being the third generation of mobile networking and telecommunications. 3G networks are targeted towards the cell-phone technologies and data transfers and internet access. Japan and South Korea are the countries which take credit for tasting the fruits of this network technology by launching it before other countries could even imagine or hear about one. Japan launched it in 2001 and Korea followed it in 2002. But it was not until 2007 that most countries could get hands-on this new technology.

This 3G network can handle wider range of services and can handle excellent network capacity compared to the previous version of 2G network. The information transfer speed is considerably increased in 3G network and in some countries the 3G speeds are faster than the average Wi-Fi speeds, scary but true. The download speeds have got a high boost and the range is widened by a great deal. A 3G network provides an average download speed of 14.4 mb/s and an upload speed of 5.8 mb/s according the industry norms and it sports a scope for improvement in this area.

Many phone manufacturers are now basking in glory brought to them by this 3G network like the Iphone 3Gs(with mms), T-mobile myTouch many others. Due to some unknown reasons(may be political gain or something else), countries like China and Indonesia have intentionally blocked the 3G services from entering their countries and serving the general public for several years but they now gave up and are free for all.

Did you hear of a camera phone - Samsung SCH-W880 ???

We have been witnessing so many camera phones coming out these days and virtually there are more camera phones out in the market than the actual cameras. Now you are going to hear something different. Its a phone camera from Samsung and it is called Samsung SCH-W880. You heard it right, it is a phone camera.


You have heard of cameras being implanted into cell-phones, iphones, blackberrys, ipods and even tablet pcs but this is new from samsung, where a phone is implanted into a camera which has a 12MP resolution and 3X optical zoom. How cool is this?

Samsung has done it the other way and stuffed a 3G phone into a 12MP camera. And just not that the camera isn't just any other camera but it has shutter and zoom that extends out and the screen is a monstrous 3.3 - inch WVGA AMOLED display. It also comes with GPS, WiFi, bluetooth, microSD slot, HSDPA data and HD video. But there is one sad news, this phone camera is made just for Korea and it may not be launched around the world.

Orkut Today's Fortune... OK seriously where's the fortune guys???

Orkut Today's fortune:::

* The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.
* One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat them at politeness.
* Well-timed silence has more eloquence than speech.
* What we have to do is to be forever curiously testing new opinions and courting new impressions.
* Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.
* If you want to be loved, be lovable.
* The days are long, but the years are short.
* A well-directed imagination is the source of great deeds
* If fate means you to lose, give it a good fight anyhow.
* If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it.
* The Young have aspirations that never come to pass, the old have reminiscences of what never happened.
* Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

All these sentences above came up in my orkut profile over a period of one month and none of them, basically not even one of them ever carried a fortune message for me. Of course I don't believe in all these fortune tellers but reading them will be an entertainment for me. But orkut is way behind in providing entertainment and not just that, they are filling me up with disgust with their silly fortune lines every day. "If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it", where's the fortune in this??? Are you fooling around with me or what???

Previously I told you how the fortune cookies entertain me with their funny fortune telling, but orkut fortune teller is no way near to them but it is just a bundle of crap telling. I hate you for this orkut, otherwise you are cool.

World's longest bridge - 22 km long...

Qatar-Bahrain causeway is going to feature the world's longest bridge ever built and it is going to connect the west coast of Qatar to the east coast of Bahrain. It is going to measure a whopping 22km which is almost equal to 13 miles and this project is going to go ahead in 2010. It is going to be built over a period of four-and-a-half years period.

Bahrain and Qatar have allocated a budget of $500 million just to start the project and it is definitely going to cross that limit for sure. It will be equipped with a 13 metre wide railroad bridge and the travel time between Qatar and Bahrain is going to be reduced to a mere 30 minutes from the present travel time of 4 and a half hours.

Simple Tips and Tricks for a strong "password"...

Having a password both easy to remember and pretty strong to protect your online identity is definitely a tough task but not that hard to achieve. Here are a few tips from my little mind box to protect your online passwords from being hacked and to generate a tough password that secures your privacy::::

* Never use the same password for all your online accounts.
* Keep changing the passwords as frequently as possible. May be weekly or monthly, but changing passwords is a hugely suggested technique of staying safe online. A tip-off here is that, you can just simply interchange a set of passwords between your different accounts and in that way you don't need to remember a lot of passwords.
* Avoid saving passwords on the computers you use unless it is a personal computer that none other than you use. Never never ever check the "remember me" button.
* Never use passwords that have the characters in some kind of a sequence like, 123 or xyz or something else like them.
* Never use the common passwords like 123456, "password", your name, or your close members names, try something innovative yet easily remember-able.
* Always use a mix of Caps, small letters and numbers in your passwords. This technique increases your password's strength 10-fold.

Hope these tricks help you out. I know that most of you know these tips and tricks but still thought some one might get some kinda benefit from this post. Love you all...

Want to pump up the volume of your MP3 files???

Here is a quick and easy way to increase the volume of your MP3 files. This is a software named MP3Gain, where-in you can increase the volume of your Mp3s or normalize your Mp3s. You can do changes to a single file or if you wish you can batch normalize the files in a single click. What you need to do is just download this free to all software and install in your computer and select some MP3 file and normalize it. A test file would be hugely recommended.


Here is a catch. Whenever you are normalizing something there will be lot of issues with the quality aspect but if you really want to gain some extra volume from your MP3s you definitely need to lose something. As some elderly said, "To gain something, you need to lose something". This is how the world stays in balance. It is always better to chose your settings rather than the auto normalize button as it gives you more control. Download the software from the below link.

What's cloud computing? Trying to throw some light on it...

Ever wondered what the heck is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing refers to the use of Internet ("cloud") based computer technology for a variety of services. It is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualised resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them.

The concept incorporates software as a service (SaaS), Web 2.0 and other recent, well-known technology trends, in which the common theme is reliance on the Internet for satisfying the computing needs of the users. Often-quoted examples are Salesforce.com and Google Apps which provide common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers.

The cloud is a metaphor for the Internet, based on how it is depicted in computer network diagrams, and is an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it conceals. Right now not many regular users of internet are aware about this cloud computing but as early as the second half of 2010 will see tremendous growth of public involvement in cloud computing.

Google and Microsoft are right now involved in an head-on collision based on cloud computing but the clear leader in this market as of now is surprisingly Amazon with its heavy user base and innovative strategies. Should wait and see what's cooking between these guys and how we are gonna benefit by these cloud wars.
