"THIS IS A TRUE STORY. READ TO BELIEVE. On September 20, 2006, a young girl received a Chain Message..."

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:28:06 +0530

“THIS IS A TRUE STORY. READ TO BELIEVE. On September 20, 2006, a young girl received a Chain Message on her facebook wall from a friend. The message said that if she did not pass it on to 25 other friends, she would have bad luck for the next 10 years. It also said that her boyfriend would dump her, she would fail all of her classes, she would get bad karma, she would never have a good love life, and, worst of all, she would definitely be murdered in her bed by the Chain Message Killer that very night. Unfortunately, this poor girl, for an unknown reason, thought that she was above the Chain Message God, and not only did she never send the message on to her friends, she DELETED THE MESSAGE OFF HER WALL. Gasp. That same night, she slept in her bed. Nothing happened to her. The End.”

‘Mob revenge’ kills third Kaziranga tiger this year

‘Mob revenge’ kills third Kaziranga tiger this year:

Animals Straying Into Adjoining Villages Easy Prey, Foresters Worried by Naresh Mitra | TNN

A tiger was found dead outside the Kohra forest range of Kaziranga on Saturday. Foresters suspected a revenge killing by angry residents of villages that border the national park. It was the third tiger to die in Kaziranga this year.
The carcass was spotted beyond the park boundary, near an upcoming resort in the Mohpara area. The tiger was between seven and eight years old and may have died a couple of days ago.
Foresters ruled out the poaching angle, pointing to the fact that the tiger’s body wasn’t mutilated and no organs were missing. “We found the ninth rib of the tiger broken and partially calcified. We are waiting for a report on the exact cause of death,” said Kaziranga divisional forest officer D D Gogoi.
Over the past week, tigers in Kaziranga have frequently lifted livestock from neighbouring villages. On Saturday, a pig reportedly fell prey to one of the big cats in the park’s Sildubi area. The incident lent credence to the belief that the tiger death in Kohra was the result of a revenge attack.
But some forest officials said the tiger could have also been killed by a rhino. A few days ago, a tiger had attacked a rhino calf in the Bagmari area of Kaziranga. “Probably, the tiger suffered grievous injuries in the attack by a rhino while attempting to kill the calf. One of its ribs was found broken. But until we get the post-mortem report, it’s difficult to say how it died,” an officer said.
Veterinarians from the Bokakhatbased Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC) conducted the post-mortem and collected samples for further tests. “Preliminary findings indicate the tiger might have died of infection following the fracture of the ninth rib on the right side. The infection also spread to the lungs and caused emphysema — a chronic respiratory disease due to over-inflation of alveoli in the lungs. It declines lung function and causes breathlessness,” said CWRC veterinarian Phulmoni Gogoi, who conducted the post-mortem.
Twelve tigers have died in Kaziranga since November 2008, a trend that has prompted the state government to start setting up tiger foundations to ensure their foolproof protection. Though the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau did not find a direct involvement of poachers in those tiger deaths, conservationists warned it was a matter of time before poaching became a huge threat in these parts.
Frequent cases of tigers straying out of the park to prey on livestock have increased their vulnerability, both in the face of angry villagers and poachers. Unlike rhinos, it is difficult for poachers to kill tigers inside Kaziranga as 65% of the 430 sq km area is grassland. But the cats can be targeted when they stray out into human settlements.

Sony eyes consumer 3D cameras as way to drive new format

Sony eyes consumer 3D cameras as way to drive new format:

Recognizing that a shortage of content could doom its 3D push from the start, Sony is likely to launch cameras that give consumers the ability to shoot in the format. Recognizing that a shortage of content could doom its 3D push from the start, Sony is likely to launch cameras that give consumers the ability to shoot in the format. The cameras will form part of a drive by Sony to make 3D the next big thing in entertainment. On Wednesday Sony committed to launching at least one Bravia TV and one Vaio laptop computer with 3D capabilities in 2010 and also said it would offer a Blu-ray Disc player, as long as Blu-ray Disc Association settles on a 3D format.

"A flag with three colours, Saffron, White and Green with the Ashoka Chakra was selected. Sarvepalli..."

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 02:43:00 +0530

“

A flag with three colours, Saffron, White and Green with the Ashoka Chakra was selected. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who later became India’s first Vice President, clarified the adopted flag and described its significance as follows:

Bhagwa or the saffron color denotes renunciation or disinterestedness. Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work. The white in the center is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct. The green shows our relation to (the) soil, our relation to the plant life here, on which all other life depends. The “Ashoka Chakra” in the center of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma. Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principle of those who work under this flag. Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is death in stagnation. There is life in movement. India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward. The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change. It also represents 24 hours in a day.

A widely held unofficial interpretation is that the saffron stands for purity and spirituality, white for peace and truth, green for fertility and prosperity and the wheel for justice/righteousness.

The twenty four spokes in this chakra wheel represent twenty four virtues:

1. Love
2. Courage
3. Patience
4. Peacefulness
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self-control
10. Selflessness
11. Self sacrifice
12. Truthfulness
13. Righteousness
14. Justice
15. Mercy
16. Graciousness
17. Humility
18. Empathy
19. Sympathy
20. Supreme knowledge
21. Supreme wisdom
22. Supreme moral
23. Love for all beings
24. Hope, trust, or faith in the goodness of God or nature.

Curious Na!! I don’t see these being followed much or even speak of in India…and I’m an Indian!

Digital Research loss, Microsoft's gain- Indiatimes Infotech

Digital Research loss, Microsoft's gain- Indiatimes Infotech:

Not many know that Microsoft was not IBM’s first choice when the latter was looking for a disc operating software. In fact, reportedly Bill Gates himself suggested IBM to approach Gary Kildall of Digital Research, the author of the CP/M operating system. Kildall who is said to be busy with another customer order, is said to have asked his wife Dorothy Kildall to negotiate with IBM. Kildall not happy with the deal IBM was proposing sent the IBM execs packing. After this, IBM is said to have approached Bill Gates, who with Paul Allen came up with MS-DOS. Rest is history. Incidentally, MS-DOS was based on Tim Paterson’s QDOS (the Quick and Dirty Operating System), which was itself based on CP/M OS. MS-DOS 1.0 was released with IBM PC in 1982. Later, IBM ended up offering both Microsoft’s DOS (for $60) and a version of CP/M ($240) to buyers of the original IBM PC

Microsoft rescues Apple- Indiatimes Infotech

Microsoft rescues Apple- Indiatimes Infotech:

Few people know of Apple’s saviour in late nineties. The time Mac sales were dwindling and the company was running low on cash.

This was the time when Apple received a much-needed cash aid of $150 million from a seemingly unlikely quarter: Microsoft. The company also promised to continue developing its Mac Office suite. The deal was brokered by then Apple consultant Steve Jobs.

Had Microsoft let Apple wither, it would have at least one rival less to content with.

Meerut Dog killing

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 09:53:14 +0530

Meerut Dog killing:

India is the only country in world that provides in its Constitution for mercy and care of the animals. BUT …… Here’s proof that the Meerut administration has unleashed shocking brutality on the stray dogs in the area to protect & shield the ILLEGAL CATTLE SLAUGHTER HOUSES. For the government of Uttar Pradesh state, India and its functionaries it seems like a perfect solution that people are venting out their anger by killing ALL and INNOCENT dogs. It suits the bureaucracy as it does not to bother the SLAUGHTER HOUSES and STOP the EVER FOURISHING TRADE OF Illegal CATTLE MEAT INDUSTRY in Meerut.
