In past years IT was at peak .. even small companies were making high profit but its look like their period is over now so which sector will b at boom, next is going to be terrorism.

What you say guys, I am not wrong you may take examples from the recent past.
lots of such things all around the globe.

It seems funny but logical, not only a part of the world is facing this problem, but all people around the globe are affected because of this serious problem.
we must take some hard decisions to curb this up, otherwise the aftermaths are really difficult to face.

Good Bye laptops

Can any one ever imagine of life without laptops or desktops now.!!!

hmmm...yes but need anything else that replaces them.

So Japan is always ready to help you out with their technlogy.Since its a time of microtechnology, everything is modeled as small as it can be so you not computers.

Amazing technology from Japan . . . but can you guess what it is ?Look closely and guess what they could be...





This is something that will replace your PC in the near future.Beleive it or not this the the future of forthcoming computers.


After looking the picture to the right you might guess wht I'm talking about.

In the revolution of miniature computers, scientists have made great developments with bluetooth technology.This is the forthcoming computers you can carry within your pockets, they are very small in size comparable to pen.

This "pen sort of instrument" produces both the monitor as well as the keyboard on any flat surfaces from where you can carry out functions you would normally do on your desktop computer.

Now one may say, "Good-bye laptops!"

How they got their names

Have you ever tought of this,the brandnames product you are using in daily life,how they came from,that makes your life so comfortable.Here are the some of these.

Apple Computers
It was the favourite frite of the founder Steve Jobs. He was three months late in filing a
name for the business,and he threatened to call his company Apple Computers if the other
colleagues din't suggest a better name by 5 O' clock.

Cisco
It is not an acronym as populalrly beleived.It is short for San Francisco.



Compaq
This name was formed by using COMp,for computer,and PAQ to denote a small integral object.



Corel
The name was derieved from the founder's name Dr. Micheal Cowland.Its stand for COwpland
REsearch Laboratory.

Google
The name started as a joke doasting about the amount of information the search-engine would
able to search.It was originally named 'Googol',a word for the number represented by 1
followed by 100 zeros.After founders-Stanford graduate students Sergey Brin and Larry Page
presented their project to an angel investor, they received a cheque made out to 'Google'

Hotmail
Rounder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing e-mail vai web from a computer anywhere in the
world.When Sabeer Bhatia same up with the business plan for the mail service,he tried all
kinds of names ending in 'mail' and finally settled for hotmail as it included the letters
"html" - the programming language used to write web pages.It was initially refrred to as
HoTMaiL with selecting uppercasing.

Hewlett Packard
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would
be called Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett.


Intel
Bob Noyce and GordonMoore wanted to name their new company 'Moore Noyce' but that was
already trademarked by a hotel chain so they had to settle for an acronym for INTegrated
ELectronics.

Lotus(Notes)
Mitch Kapor got the name for his company from 'The Lotus Position' or 'Padmasana'.Kapor used
to be a teacher of Transcendental Meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.


Microsoft
Coined by Bill Gates to represent the company that was devoted to MICROcomputer
SOFTware.Originally christened Micro-Soft, the'-' was removed later on.



Motorola
Founder Paul Galvin came up with this name when his comapany started manufacturing radios
for cars.The popular radio company at the time was called victoria.

ORACLE
Larry Ellison and Bob Oats were working on a consulting project for the CIA(Central
Intelligence Agency).The code name for the project was called Oracle(the CIa saw this as the
system to give answers to all or something such).The projest was designed to help use the
newly written SQL code by IBM.The project eventually was terminated but Larry and ?Bob
decided to finish what they started and bring it to the world.They kept the name Oracle and
created the RDBMS engine.Later they kept the same name for the company.

Sony
It originated from the latin word 'sonus' meaning sound,and 'sonny' a slang used by Americans to refer to a bright youngster.

SUN
Founded by 4 Stanford University buddies,SUN is the acronym for Stanford University
Network.Andreas Bechtolsheim built a microcomputer,Vinod Khosla recruited him and Scott
Mcnealy to manufacture companies based on it,and Bill Joy to develop a UNIX-based OS for the
computer.

Yahoo!
The word was invented by Jonathan Swift and used in his book 'Gulliver's Travels'.It represented a person who is repulsive in appearance and action and is barely human.Yahoo! Founders Jerry Yang and David Filo selected the name because they consider themselves
yahoos.

There is lot of hard work involved in all the discoveries.The concerned person put lot of efforts in discovering a new thing,but sometimes few things just happen by luck or by accident.Some of such accidental discoveries are.
1.Viagra
Men being treated for erectile dysfunction should salute the working stiffs of Merthyr Tydfil,the Welsh hamlet where,in 1992 trails,the gravity-defying side effects of new angina drug first popped up.Previously, the blue-collar town was known for producing a different kind of iron.
2.X-Ray
Several 19th-century scientists toyed with the penetrating rays emitted when electrons strike a metal target.But the x-ray wasn't discovered until 1895, when German egghead Wilhelm Rontgen tried sticking various objects in front of the radiation - and saw the bones of his hand projected on the wall.
3.LSD
Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann took the world's first acid hit in 1943,when he touched a smidge of lysergic acid diethylamide,a chemical he had researched for inducing childbirth,He later tried a bigger dose and made another discovery:the bad trip.
4.Penicillin
Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming was researching the flu in 1928 when he noticed that a blue green mold had infected one of his petridishes - and killed the staphylococcus bacteria growing in it.All hail sloppy lab work!
5.Artificial Sweeteners
Speaking of botched lab jobs,three leading pseudo-sugars reached human lips only because scientists forgot to wash their hands.Cyclamate(1937) and aspartame(1965) are byproducts of medical reasearch,and sacharin(1879) appeared during a project on coal tar derivatives,Yummy.
6.Microwave Ovens
Microwave emitters(or magnetrons)powered Allied radar in WWII.The leap from detecting Nazis to nuking nachos came in 1946, after a magnetron melted a candy bar in Raytheon engineer Percy Spencer's pocket.
7.Brandy
Medieval wine merchants used to boil the H2O out of wine so their delicate cargo would keep better and take up less space at sea.Before long,some intrepid soul-our money's on a sailor - decided to bypass the reconstitution stage, and brandy was born.Pass the Courvoisier!
8.Vulacanised Rubber
Rubber rots badly and smells worse,unless it's vulcanised.Ancient Mesoamericans had their own version of the process,but Charles Goodyear rediscovered it in 1839 when he unintentionally(well, at least according to most accounts) dropped a rubber-sulfur compound onto a hot stove.
9.Silly Putty
In the early 1940s, General Electric scientist James Wright was working on artificial rubber for the war effort when he mixed boric acid and silicon oil.V-J Day din't come any sonner,but comic strip image-streching practically became a national pastime.
10.Potato chips
Chef George Crum concocted the perfect sandwich complement in 1853 when-to spite a suctomer who compalin that his fries were cut too thick-he sliced a potato paper-thin and fried it to a crisp.Needless to say,the diner couldn't eat just one.
Might be some luck involved in them but after all of this lot of the discoverers effort was involved in bringing them to real worlds use.If you have any such thing share it.

Recently I was reading a article on green index,a survey by National Geographic Channel.

After reading that I feal a bit relaxed,since I'm a part of the nation hold the top position in green index.


According to the survey,Indians and Brazilians are the most environment friendly people while Americans are the most polluting, a survey by National Geographic magazine and pollsters Globalscan on consumer behaviour has revealed.


The survey of a thousand people each from 14 high-polluting nations listed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has India and Brazil tied for the top spot with 60 green index points. Americans had the lowest score with 44.9 points.


The survey rates Indian eating habits the best, with 84 per cent eating local vegetables at least once a week.Indians don’t waste much and are very good at recycling. The Indian green index is high on account of low per capita energy consumption — at 0.7 kilowatt — and large-scale recycling. India and China are the best users of solar energy.


Since Indians still belive that being a vegeterian you will live more and may be a myth but its working in favour of us.Being an Indian I m proud of this. More than 40% people are concerned about the environmental problems believe these problems can have adverse impact on their health.And why not India is a nation where trees are also treated as God and worshiped.


I dont know much about Brazilians but they are also tied with Indians.this means they are also environmental freindly.


This is also found in the survey that people in developed countries tend to live in big homes, often with environmentally costly air-conditioning, own more cars, drive alone more often and use public transport only infrequently. They are least likely to buy environmentally friendly products.


Inhabitants of developing countries, by contrast, were more likely to live in smaller homes, use green products and own relatively few appliances or electronic gadgets. They also were more likely to walk, cycle, use public transportation and live close to their most frequent destinations.


So its a plus point for both Indians and Brazalians and the US citizens need to think about this.

http://www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/pdfs/solar_timeline.pdf

It is a fine article about man benefiting from solar energy.I wonder there is so much happening in United States of America about solar energy and they are benefiting from the sun because oil prices are going sky high and they are planing for the future. The American Govt. funds and supports such projects in every way possible. But what happens in our country? Most of us are too busy in earning our livelihoods and our Govts are busy in other "Important" issues that we don't have time for these things. I was listening on some news channel that oil prices will hit Rs. 100 per liter in two or three months in Pakistan because oil prices have increased very rapidly in global markets in previous two months and Pakistan government will not be able to subsidize on oil.

This happens only in USA

All of you will be surprised to know that people at United States of America are actually thinking about running there cars on water. Yes WATER simple H2O not the expansive fossil fuels that we have been using.

I didn't believe it but it is real they are doing it.
Just search on google these words.
"run a car on hydrogen using water"

You will be surprised.

Today, I dont have anything to do,then I decided to surf on net.I started searching the most searched keywords on search engines,and I m surprised to see the results.I found paris hilton and britney's name in the list,befiore searching I guess it would be porn and something related to this.I m happy because I dint found this in top 10 ketwords.

Anyways after I found britney's name in the list of top searched keywords, I started searching on her.First question that comes to my mind is the post title,"Why is Britney Spears Still Famous?".Is people really thinks that she's still so famous.Answers is yes.because if she's not famous people would not be concerned about her.

Why is she famous? Our media is obsessed with a singer who hasn't actually sung anything in years. Her "greatest hits" album was out in 2004, her last album of original material was out in 2003. Is she actually working on new material? When was her last tour? The last great performance I remember her giving was kissing Madonna on MTV.

We're obsessed with Britney's marriage, with whether or not she's a good mother, and the attention grabbing things she does. She wants to be left alone, but no, she's posing nude (while pregnant) for this magazine or that, she's talking to Matt Lauer, we're supposed to feel bad for her - no! - we're supposed to hate her. Aren't we?

She is a fine example of a trend. Why do we care about "celebrities" who don't actually have a function, or who have lost their place in the spotlight?

Why did Britney's reality TV show flop when so many others just like it succeeded? The Newlyweds worked until that couple decided that they were happier divorced. Hulk Hogan has a show that exists pretty much solely to promote his daughter's fledgling musical career. Even Paris Hilton cashed in on being ignorant while America watched before she decided she wanted to be a singer.

even when you look the picture available here,it give you a isea why she's so famous...!!!

so have a look....
