Living ...

Which part of the earth you prefer ?
Lets talk sones and daughters !
Everyone's little efforts counts at the end; dont smoke, tune your car, encourage environment friendly industries and discourage the others ....

Pakistan !

Pakistan ! the home of the scientists, thinkers, loyal people, ... ? is it out of good men in 2008 ?
Seems that what I have said about Nepal is true ?
Son of Benazir Bhutto, a 19-year old student with no political experience, is appointed symbolic leader of the party, and her Husband Asif Zardari, also known as "Mr. 10%", an 8-year prisoner of corrupt charges appointed active leader... try to guess where Pakistan is headed ...when those play the dirty power game

NEPAL ! why is that ?

Kingdom of Nepal will soon become a state; the current king will be the last to reign in a peaceful end to the monarchy (in 2008).

To me, it looks bad ! unless there is a very strong constitution and well educated people to form a nation, monarchy is better. At least kings care about their sons (future kings) and will not make it a mess. I don't want to generalize, but consider the world we know; Arab states (Muslims states and many others are no exception) ..., compare the states or republics (with elected presidents .... ha) and the monarchies and see for yourself; economy, stability, education, quality of life and ... you name it

Carrier Pigeon

Carrier pigeon, a breed of homing pigeons, is capable of traveling at an average speed of 50 Km/h and burst top speed of 100 Km/h. A record range of 2700 Km has been cited in many places. Navigation theories based on sun light, earth magnetic field ......

Might have been used by Egyptians and Persians nearly 1000 BC. However, the oldest professional in carrying messages was in Baghdad around 1150, and later by Genghis Khan

In 1860, Paul Reuter, who later founded Reuters press agency, used a fleet of over 45 pigeons to deliver news and stock prices between Brussels and Aachen.

232 years! could this be true ?

Imagine ! after 232 years of patenting the telephone invention, Alexander Graham Bell is to be found stealing the idea from his rival Elisha Gray. A new book details evidence; claiming that a aggressive lawyers and corrupt patent examiner are behind the erroneous credit with filing first. Click below to read about

Quad-Core ...welcome

Core 2 Extreme QX9650, Intel's quad-core processor may have a high price tag (beyond $$$), but it lays the groundwork for what is likely to be a stream of new chips manufactured with a more power-efficient method. January 2008 is probably the year of quad-core going mainstream with the forthcoming release of Intel's Core 2 Quad and AMD's Phenom processor.

Waiting for the right notebook? sounds like it is an endless wait

Vista Features: ReadyBoost

This feature is supposed to speed up the hard disk access through caching, new generations of hard disk (a.k.a. Hybrid Hard Disks) use good amount of flash memory for this purpose. However, one can use a regular USB flash drive (nearly 1 to 3 times the size of the system memory) to achieve this goal.

The USB flash drive has to support this feature; it has to be large enough and fast enough. Although hard disks are possibly faster in sequential accesses (80 MB/s as opposed to 20 MB/s), they are nearly 10 times slower when it comes to randoms accesses. And this is where we gain performance, random access to small pages (maybe 4 KB) is what we most of the time work with.

New to this feature? Have some questions? try the Q&A blog below to get an idea

"CHEESE" saving Camera ...

This camera, from SONY, can save alot of cheese ...
How? just press the shooting button half-way, and the camera will take the picture! only when your buddy smiles, no need to say "cheese" anymore. This is perfect for me as a vegetarian, and of course this camera is a problem to those who don't smile
