An idea can change everything

Face book with its new farming game is rocking the chart lists. A wonderful idea to keep people online. With the privilege, that each one can get back with their own convenience. The age old concept of trying to take people back to farming and helping them leave the city life is another lovely idea. Each and every aspect that has been designed has been so carefully thought and clearly coded. Zynga which has been the backbone for this game has announced its greater success after the launch of FarmVillie on June 19th 2009. Data shows that it has been adding 1 million new users every week and at any given time there are almost 11 million users who are online.

Now I have nothing more to say than just wowwwwwww…..
I knew this game for a long time. I was not an active visitor on face book before I started playing this game. I heard about farmvilli from every one. Whoso ever I talk, tell me about this application. Suggest that I should give it a try. Initially I thought it’s just a game, and I wondered how people are spending so many hours just for that game. It really surprised me. The most interesting thing that once happened to me was when I saw my friend get up early in the morning at 5’o clock to harvest his strawberry farms. I was surprised. a person who never even bothered to get up so early whatsoever. Got up just to harvest his crop… wofff….

And then I thought I should give it a try. Finally I started Farming and I don’t know how/why/what… I started liking it.

I appreciate all the effort that went into the designing. The credit goes to Mark Skaggs and his team. I admit it has definitely broken every expected rule or social gaming. The idea itself is amazing. Who thinks about taking us back to farming at this time. Definitely no one. And every minute aspect of helping your neighbours. Calculating what you have to harvest to get benefits. Prioritizing what you want in your farm. Everything is awesome…

I'm loving it!!!

DEATH... equals it all

no matter how hard we run in this life race
all would be nullified by death
so, it doesn’t matter the number of credentials
that you hold but the kind of death bestowed

YSR...
may his Soul rest in peace

we all know that death is certain
if not today.. it will be our turn tomorrow...
but certain incidents qualify to be called "Inviting Death"
and i feel the tragic that took place with YSR is one such
after knowing that it is not the right time or the right condition
how can one just go ahead risking not just his lifebut others too??

This so called "It's Okay Yaar!!!" attitude costs a lot some times

Opportunity..use it

It is true that many times people fail to achieve something for lack of opportunity. But lucky are those who get an opportunity to prove their talent, hard work and the best they have in themselves. One such opportunity being provided, are by the various Talent Shows. Talent shows in Music, Dance, Art and whatever. It is really appreciable that the basic platform is being created for and by people to get the best in their respective field (thought it’s a win-win for both of them lol).

All this came to my mind when i was watching the SA RE GA MA PA lil Champs. What a show!!! Little kids all below 15 yrs of age with such lovely voices. And many among them are from such small villages of our country that If not for this show I guess it would have been real tough for them to make a mark for themselves so easily at that age. And the best part is the mentoring that all those little kids are being offered. Those kids are in such a tender age that they learn things so quick and hold it with them for a long time, wherein the need for a right guide, right guru is needed. Abhijeet and Alka Yagnikar are doing a great job.
A win-win show where everyone is getting their share of profit. More of such shows have to be conducted, not just in the music and dance arena but educational too. To bring the best in each subject by the best.

I would love to share the show links with every one

Google Chrome Operating System

I was just trying to jot down all the uses a computer can offer without an internet connection. And it turned out to be such a small list, unless some specified software was being used for some very specific purpose. And when you use internet the list goes endless. This clearly demarcates the vast use an internet connection can offer. And when I talk about internet the first and foremost thing that pops up into my mind is GOOGLE. It has revolutionized the way internet access is done. Through the years it has added so many features to itself that it’s no more just a search engine. With its new venture Google Chrome Operating systems I guess its gona add another feather to its cap.



Chrome OS would be designed using the Linux Open Source and is being initially targeted at Netbooks. It should be all set for a grand release by the second half of 2010. Its main features would be speed, simplicity and security. The user interface would be made minimal to stay out of our way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. Just as the Google Chrome browser, they are completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that we users will not have to deal with viruses, malware and other security updates.

But the clear part here is Google has literally dropped a nuclear bomb on its chief rival, Microsoft. The sales of Netbooks have increased tremendously these days and there are lots of them that are running on Windows XP. Windows being a very old one which has been initially built for Pentium 3s and 4s. The new Chrome OS would be capable of both x86 architecture and ARM chips and will be working with multiple OEMs to increase the number of netbooks to an even greater number. Another important issue here is, just as the browser the Operating system will also be open- sourced. But is there any chance of Microsoft open-sourcing its windows??

After the release of Chrome OS what about Android? (The Mobile Operating System running on Linux, developed by Google). Google does agree of some overlap between the two, but the basic difference remains that Android cannot be run on x86 architecture, where as Chrome would. And another difference that Chrome wants to emphasize is including apps that are not standard browser based apps.

Google plans for this release very soon. No wonder if it drops the same time, when Microsoft is out with its wildcard Windows 7
