CrossLoop - help a remote pc user !

... from the previous post, CrossLoop is a product that lets two users connect over the internet tunneling through firewalls and let one user control another (ofcourse, with consent, and explicit action)

Will help many trying to help their parents, and less-tech-savvy friends in helping them out !

Here is the site

Microsoft, IBM, and Digital

Video interview by Scoble, the popular tech blogger, talking to Tom Rolander, who was the flying partner and good friend of Gary Kildall of Digital - the duo that let go of the oppurtunity to become Microsoft !

A Long video 1 hr , the whole build up until minute 30, is important to understand the events that unfolded later.

Interesting bits - how Gates did not want OS business to start with, when the first API was born etc...

Here is the video

Paris Quoteworthy...

'"I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute," Hilton told ABC News' Barbara Walters. (Watch what might be next for Hilton Video)'

In the seemingly never ending saga about Paris, this triggers yet another question about what is better for her to do. To be cute or act like dumb ! ?

Update: OMG, this lady can act ! - I saw snippets of her interview with Larry King Live, and man this is not Paris !

Update 2: Rumor mills have it that Kamal is interested in pairing with this wonderful actress for a movie 'parisodu vilayadu' ... and another with actress sadha titled 'sada'avadaram - is it not exciting ?

Extra mile towards golden Happiness...

is often not worth the cost is the point made in an excellent post by Dilbert'ian Scott Adams here. Makes much sense the more one comes to think of it !

Sighghghghghghg.

Moral Policing

This is not about Shilpa Shetty, Richard Gere, Choco Jesus, Khusboo or PMK.

It is about some cop deciding to write himself a ticket, coz he violated the rules ! I should say am impressed about the morality expressed, implying the subtle human'ness in everyone.

Oh well, one wonders whether these tickets count towards the monthly-ticket-goal :D ?

Spelling B

We have all been amazed one time or another, at, how all these young kids in the Spelling Bee competition - manage to spell all kinds of words, spoken and not, known or not, with the ease of spelling their name.

Now, it is time to be amazed by how people NOT spell, a famous name, correctly. Before you must know who it is - let me give you some clues.

According to people who looked her up, she is a brat, brut, brit, grit, prit, brot, birt, bitt, drit, brent, rit, sprit, bright, brine, britannia (well, i made the last one up ;))

Any guesses ? Scroll a li'l bit down...












Check google's spelling correction statistics for Britney Spears

Looking at the statistics, some of the interesting observations are - how no one got her last name 'spears' wrong !! and how some people thought she owns spears (britney's spears) and how people have so many typo's looking for britney - after all they are not focussed at what they type or are they ?

Time Management

Time is a factor of one's priorities.

Need more time to do things in your life ? look no further, but into your priorities !

I know most common reply would be, but how can it be ? i want to do so many things that i love to do - but dont find time - and my answer is, you may love to do them, but right now, you need to do the things that you are doing every 24 hours, or so you have chosen :)

Magnetic Untouchability !

This is not a post about the much touted problem of untouchability. But it is about how to encourage untouchability - amongst cars ! - "Dont touch/rear-end me !!!!!!"

There are many silly ways one can think of preventing common rear-end accidents - most of them rely of James Bond'ish equipment - pepper spray, smelly gas, gabtun tamil, cellphone ringtone etc - all on push of a button, that would cause the driver behind you to slam the brakes.

But why not have a magnet ! - make it mandatory on front and rear-ends of cars - voila - "dont touch me" will be the language spoken by those magnets ;) - the problem that i can see immediately being, if the momentum is high enough to overcome the magnetic repulsion, it will cause a shear on the car and hence cause side collisions :| - so why not drive magnetic cars !! :)

before anyone attempts to patent it or make money out it - remember, i own the idea :D

Sleep and Save yourself !

If you are awake to read this, bad news, you may have heart problems.

If you are asleep, you can't read this, but hey that is the good news !

A new study has shown that napping has beneficial effects that could save your heart :)

p.s : The funniest bit in the article is "..It's likely that women reap similar benefits from napping, but not enough of them died during the study to be sure, said Dr. Dimitrios Trichopoulos"
