Authorities plan to truck the few survivors to a protected bay before attempting to put them back to sea.<br /><br />Volunteers and government officers struggled to save 17 long-finned pilot whales that were being battered by rough seas in Hamelin Bay in Western Australia state, the state Conservation Department said in a statement.<br /><br />It was the latest mass beaching of whales in Australia. Strandings happen periodically in Tasmania, in the southeast, as whales pass during their migration to and from Antarctic waters, but scientists do not know why. It is unusual, however, for whales and dolphins to become beached together.<br /><br />The department said the group of whales and bottlenose dolphins became stranded early Monday on a stretch of beach about 4 miles (6 kilometers) long.<br /><br />Department spokesman Greg Mair said the 17 survivors, all whales, will be shifted by truck at daybreak Tuesday to nearby Flinders Bay and helped out to sea.<br /><br />"This method has been chosen to ensure the whales' greatest chance of survival," Mair said in the statement. "Flinders Bay provides sheltered waters and is far enough away from the stranding site to reduce the risk of the whales re-stranding."<br /><br />Department officers originally thought the mammals were false killer whales, but on closer inspection said they were long-finned pilot whales.<br /></div>Nirajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10415410887908660224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923094410237734181.post-67389179036154212722009-02-17T21:49:00.001-08:002009-02-17T21:50:55.638-08:00Just for Laughs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcsJ705q-Y8RP7Byq8JZz0qnuBeQdf_vEb_ctTXxVxLyZLDTxN8IJ0Cc4PGRDNQ4SbvlbVurIiLHIuPV8wFAIUxKvg3xMf101RviBh0Nt6LVeNq_01iOvmjMthQFAGzzW59nRH_dg5ALk/s1600-h/smiley.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 559px; height: 551px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcsJ705q-Y8RP7Byq8JZz0qnuBeQdf_vEb_ctTXxVxLyZLDTxN8IJ0Cc4PGRDNQ4SbvlbVurIiLHIuPV8wFAIUxKvg3xMf101RviBh0Nt6LVeNq_01iOvmjMthQFAGzzW59nRH_dg5ALk/s400/smiley.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304010481750963266" border="0" /></a>Nirajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10415410887908660224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923094410237734181.post-33789262506970550882009-02-17T01:24:00.000-08:002009-02-17T01:35:59.987-08:00What all Google killed<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqC6OuPYzI/AAAAAAAAA94/2OBKrjS8S6U/s1600-h/1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 171px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqC6OuPYzI/AAAAAAAAA94/2OBKrjS8S6U/s400/1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303695448078246706" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">What all Google killed</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Google has often been extolled for its product innovations. However, it seems slowdown has cast its shadow on the company's `innovation spirit' too. The search giant, who is taking a harder line on managing expenses as the recession curbs spending on online ads, has been almost on a shutting spree. The past six months witnessed the company pull the plug on as many as nine of its new products.<br /><br />Several of these causalities include products launched with lot of fanfare like Google Lively, which was widely believed to be the company's answer to Second Life.<br /></div>Here's looking into the products/services Google has dumped in the last few months.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqC51xk4DI/AAAAAAAAA9w/98GJVq5thlg/s1600-h/2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 196px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqC51xk4DI/AAAAAAAAA9w/98GJVq5thlg/s400/2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303695441381351474" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Broadcast radio ad business</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Google Inc has abandoned its efforts to sell advertising for broadcast radio stations, acknowledging that the three-year project has failed.<br />The leading Web search company said that it plans to sell its Radio Automation business, which created software to automate broadcast radio programming, and phase out its Audio Ads service.<br />The move will likely result in up to 40 people being laid off, Google said. Google has been re-appraising initiatives intended to expand its income beyond Internet advertising, which accounts for more than 90 per cent of total revenue.<br />Advertisers will continue to be able to use Audio Ads until May 31, the company said. Google -- which had 20,222 full-time employees as of December 31 -- would instead focus its efforts on placing ads on streaming audio over the Internet, according to company's vice president of product management, Susan Wojcicki.<br />Google plans to continue investing in its television ad business. It also is seeking ways to sell more advertising on online audio services, which younger audiences are using.<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqC5xEL0BI/AAAAAAAAA9o/HqPMKkB9SdE/s1600-h/3.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 211px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqC5xEL0BI/AAAAAAAAA9o/HqPMKkB9SdE/s400/3.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303695440117223442" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Google Lively</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">In July 2008 Google launched Google Lively, a 3D virtual reality service, with much fanfare. Four months, and Internet giant's take on Second Life ran out of fuel. Google announced that it is discontinuing Lively by the end of the year.<br />The shut down reflected Lively's inability to stand out from the rest of the virtual reality crowd. Lively was Web-based and allowed anyone to set up virtual spaces, such as rooms, that could be embedded onto blogs or Facebook pages.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Google management concluded that it needed to sharpen its focus on its primary business of Internet search and advertising as the company's revenue growth showed signs of a deteriorating economy.<br />"We've also always accepted that when you take these kinds of risks not every bet is going to pay off. It has been a tough decision, but we want to ensure that we prioritise our resources and focus more on our core search, ads and apps business," Google wrote in a blog post.<br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the blog, the employees working on Lively were reassigned other jobs after the service shut down. The pack of virtual worlds is led by Second Life, where people deploy animated alter egos known as avatars to pursue digital fantasies.<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqC5gtBIjI/AAAAAAAAA9g/FY-XV75Fzao/s1600-h/4.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 185px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqC5gtBIjI/AAAAAAAAA9g/FY-XV75Fzao/s400/4.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303695435725087282" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dodgeball</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Dodgeball was a company that Google acquired in May 2005. The location-based meeting service allowed users to share their current locations using SMS messages. Come January 2009, the company announces that Dodgeball will be shut down "in the next couple of months."<br />Here goes the closure announcemet: "Google has decided to shut down dodgeball. I know this is kind of a bummer, but the site has been in maintenance mode for a while now, and it's just time to shut it down for good."<br />"We're planning on doing this in two stages. Everything will continue to function as-is until the end of February (can anyone say shutdown party?). At that point, we'll turn off the SMS service and the site will enter read-only mode. We'll leave it like that for about a month giving you time to save or export any of your data that you might want to keep. Sometime around the beginning of April we'll shut the site down for good, delete all the user accounts, and the associated data."<br />Incidentally, Dodgeball founders quit Google in April 2007. Both were reportedly unhappy with the way Google was handling the service and blamed Google of apathy.<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqC5i8DnoI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/MW0eiKEo194/s1600-h/5.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 203px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqC5i8DnoI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/MW0eiKEo194/s400/5.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303695436325035650" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mashup Editor</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The online mashup creation service by Google has too become a history now. The company plans to phase out the service in next six months. The service, which was in private beta, is being replaced by App Engine. It was direct competition for Yahoo Pipes and Microsoft Popfly.<br />Google in a blog post wrote, "we will be shutting down the Mashup Editor in six months. While it is always hard to say goodbye to a product, when we launched the Mashup Editor as a private beta last year, we did so to better understand the needs of you, our developers. And you spoke, and much of what we learned together is now a big part of App Engine, the new infrastructure for hosted developer applications.

The videos that are already in users account will remain hosted on Google Video. Users will have access to all the existing management tools for them.<br />The web giant in its blog post wrote, "In a few months, we will discontinue support for uploads to Google Video. We've always maintained that Google Video's strength is in the search technology that makes it possible for people to search videos from across the web, regardless of where they may be hosted. And this move will enable us to focus on developing these technologies further to the benefit of searchers worldwide."<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqCoK2xTCI/AAAAAAAAA9I/5Tj4Rd60jzA/s1600-h/7.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 224px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqCoK2xTCI/AAAAAAAAA9I/5Tj4Rd60jzA/s400/7.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303695137802636322" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Google Catalog</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Google Catalog too faces axe.

This was Google's first big effort to make offline information available online.<br />Catalogs helped to scan and make the full text of books available online. The search shown catalogs with pages that contain users search terms. Each listing shows the cover of the catalog, an image of the catalog page where the terms were found, and a close-up of the section of the page containing the terms.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The announcement was made by Ounit Soni, Google product manager, on the Inside Google Book Search blog. The posting said that Google's Catalog Search helped the search giant develop other key initiatives like Google Book Search, as well as learn about how users read scanned documents online.<br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Read the farewell note: “It was a great experiment.” Accepting that the service was not a great success the blog goes, “Nonetheless, in recent years, Catalog Search hasn't been as popular as some of our other products. So from (January 15), we're bidding it a fond farewell and focusing our efforts to bring more and more types of offline information such as magazines, newspapers and of course, books, online.”<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqCnwHHbiI/AAAAAAAAA9A/WgEIkf024xM/s1600-h/8.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 236px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqCnwHHbiI/AAAAAAAAA9A/WgEIkf024xM/s400/8.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303695130623438370" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Google Notebook</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Google has also halted further active development on Google Notebook, the free online application that lets users save and organise clips of information while conducting research online.

These are saved to an online "notebook" with sharing and collaboration features. Google Notebook works as an interactive scratch pad for any visited web pages, offering to collect web findings within the browser window.<br />Google in its blog wrote, "We will no longer support the Notebook Extension, but as always users who have already signed up will continue to have access to their data via the web interface. However, existing users won’t be able to use the browser extension, which makes the service significantly less useful. Among Google’s suggestions for replacements are SearchWiki, Google Docs, Tasks (Gmail), and Google Bookmarks."<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqCn45r0WI/AAAAAAAAA84/a7DSNzv2IR8/s1600-h/9.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iJHK7Dojh70/SZqCn45r0WI/AAAAAAAAA84/a7DSNzv2IR8/s400/9.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303695132983021922" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Google Jaiku</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Google's microblogging service, Jaiku, too became a causality recently.

Google bought Jaiku, a microblogging service similar to Twitter, in late 2007.<br />Google in its blog post wrote, "The new Jaiku Engine will include support for OAuth, and we're excited about developers using this proven code as a starting point in creating a freely available and federated, open source microblogging platform."<br />Jaiku was founded in February 2006 by Jyri Engestrom and Petteri Koponen from Finland.

Here's how it's supposed to work: A song starts to play, and MiniTube will automatically find the best music video available for the song and start playing it. That's the theory anyway. But the actual practice is a bit shakier.<br /><br />That's because MiniTube just grabs the first video it can find that roughly matches the song's metadata. That means there's a pretty decent chance you'll get the wrong video from the right artist, a video of an amateur musicians performing the correct song, or something else entirely. Sometimes MiniTube will find the right video, but if the metadata on your MP3s is anything less than perfect, more often than not, it won't.<br /><br />MiniTube does address one potential problem fairly well. Because the audio of the YouTube video will undoubtedly be out of synch with the audio file, you can choose to either play your audio file and mute the audio on the video, or mute Winamp and play the audio and video from the YouTube video.<br /><br />enjoy as if there is no tomorrow... plan as if you will live 100 yrs<br /></div>Nirajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10415410887908660224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923094410237734181.post-82410846541302220712008-10-29T02:25:00.000-07:002008-10-29T02:42:15.388-07:00First look at Windows 7's User Interface<div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB-HwrBe3N1dPhAGMY7b1ZpsD1Li0Z8ZuB3_rKVATmJRGWQSGnwWJDl5M6UYwc9oGuLTNTNOjJ5uVj_N0bEV8qS7Dv2VWOniJ6QGniAqWbYLITceoPpVuQbo5HSb4_-oGmxl01uvVFPA0/s1600-h/startmenu3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262506489288205154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 379px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB-HwrBe3N1dPhAGMY7b1ZpsD1Li0Z8ZuB3_rKVATmJRGWQSGnwWJDl5M6UYwc9oGuLTNTNOjJ5uVj_N0bEV8qS7Dv2VWOniJ6QGniAqWbYLITceoPpVuQbo5HSb4_-oGmxl01uvVFPA0/s400/startmenu3.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div align="justify">They're also found on the Start Menu.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfDkt0WaKO0Plxfxu-hz75DHeG0tC0-Ia-zCXg-3JjafVDRVKzLYrKp6WfiWtHw3y36-Rsbr9XoUZQvYL9pmxtOOXgB6_24aHvqekL712038cxg_7s6UXr9BGg0BdUEw6wMqCGjYyj2LA/s1600-h/taskbar1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262506490334962914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 107px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfDkt0WaKO0Plxfxu-hz75DHeG0tC0-Ia-zCXg-3JjafVDRVKzLYrKp6WfiWtHw3y36-Rsbr9XoUZQvYL9pmxtOOXgB6_24aHvqekL712038cxg_7s6UXr9BGg0BdUEw6wMqCGjYyj2LA/s400/taskbar1.JPG" border="0" /></a>The biggest visible result of all this is the taskbar. The taskbar in Windows 7 is worlds apart from the taskbar.<br /><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwki22sjo0zB1R2Oe5fraTo9b4uQBwGz3vPXI_AejHewEArROE7akS76aD90xfvy41RIucInxCX9iPUyg-qbORfmx56ihDmXrpupbCvE-NUPGJScgl8CL0-ya8LEbOpgfDthK52BG2PnQ/s1600-h/list2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262506492845177314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 304px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwki22sjo0zB1R2Oe5fraTo9b4uQBwGz3vPXI_AejHewEArROE7akS76aD90xfvy41RIucInxCX9iPUyg-qbORfmx56ihDmXrpupbCvE-NUPGJScgl8CL0-ya8LEbOpgfDthK52BG2PnQ/s400/list2.JPG" border="0" /></a>Text descriptions on the buttons are gone, in favor of big icons. The icons can—finally—be rearranged; no longer will restarting an application put all your taskbar icons in the wrong order. The navigation between windows is now two-level; mousing over an icon shows a set of window thumbnails, and clicking the thumbnail switches windows. Right clicking the icons shows a new UI device that Microsoft calls "Jump Lists."<br /><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUYl2gFkVzjsyXk8jbWJ38CyHxGSfujqx3Y7uOVd1v68PqNNs_ZzjPMYszoHN9nDlh4BDldUqpmPFS_dFfBx4NJN6hkrsmBUnAU_u7TMM5aSbJQ7OQSXqWvN_HMXbG-OUOhOjImur13Q/s1600-h/win4.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262506493987427730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUYl2gFkVzjsyXk8jbWJ38CyHxGSfujqx3Y7uOVd1v68PqNNs_ZzjPMYszoHN9nDlh4BDldUqpmPFS_dFfBx4NJN6hkrsmBUnAU_u7TMM5aSbJQ7OQSXqWvN_HMXbG-OUOhOjImur13Q/s400/win4.JPG" border="0" /></a>Jump lists provide quick access to application features. Applications that use the system API for their Most Recently Used list (the list of recently-used filenames that many apps have in their File menus) will automatically acquire a Jump List containing their most recently used files. There's also an API to allow applications to add custom entries; Media Player, for example, includes special options to control playback.<br />This automatic support for new features is a result of deliberate effort on Microsoft's part. The company wants existing applications to benefit from as many of the 7 features as they can without any developer effort. New applications can extend this automatic support through new APIs to further enrich the user experience. The taskbar thumbnails are another example of this approach. All applications get thumbnails, but applications with explicit support for 7 will be able to add thumbnails on a finer-grained basis. IE8, for instance, has a thumbnail per tab (rather than per window).<br />Window management has also undergone changes. In recognition of the fact that people tend only to use one or two windows concurrently, 7 makes organizing windows quicker and easier. Dragging a window to the top of the screen maximizes it automatically; dragging it off the top of the screen restores it. Dragging a window to the left or right edge of the screen resizes the window so that it takes 50% of the screen. With this, a pair of windows can be quickly docked to each screen edge to facilitate interaction between them.<br />Another common task that 7 improves is "peeking" at windows; switching to a window briefly just to read something within the window but not actually interact with the window. To make this easier, scrubbing the mouse over the taskbar thumbnails will turn every window except the one being pointed at into a glass outline; moving the mouse away will reinstate all the glass windows. As well as being used for peeking at windows, you can also peek at the desktop:<br /><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgci4ZNENfTyBNfYv-U_Zz9INZ-yXSmZtzks_9U4-jDeVwQfghDFiWOX23AuHHOFBUqZM86rwsfVunqaRNgFz6Y4Ae5ZHLCQCIjEYkfPbj8gj8x1GWXfwbYx2TNYvfSiGbvxiMFNEk6_TU/s1600-h/WinDocument.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262506077388378530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 277px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgci4ZNENfTyBNfYv-U_Zz9INZ-yXSmZtzks_9U4-jDeVwQfghDFiWOX23AuHHOFBUqZM86rwsfVunqaRNgFz6Y4Ae5ZHLCQCIjEYkfPbj8gj8x1GWXfwbYx2TNYvfSiGbvxiMFNEk6_TU/s400/WinDocument.JPG" border="0" /></a>Peeking at the desktop is particularly significant, because the desktop is now where gadgets live. Because people are increasingly using laptops, taking up a big chunk of space for the sidebar isn't really viable; Microsoft has responded by scrapping the sidebar and putting the gadgets onto the desktop itself. Gadgets are supposed to provide at-a-glance information; peeking at the desktop, therefore, becomes essential for using gadgets<br /><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpcTVF0R7NGW2gllpw-K5flZL5OaItCcUZCArkIpNoEE6KBfSdS1WD2iA3RMDNdPHv8HSO7vWC4Km-RTjUiTulVXB5AFoMFvteyNuuhvBFCdQknzbf5RyV3fxFVb8IcPnGzUNJvRy1xQ0/s1600-h/win5.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262506093091974786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpcTVF0R7NGW2gllpw-K5flZL5OaItCcUZCArkIpNoEE6KBfSdS1WD2iA3RMDNdPHv8HSO7vWC4Km-RTjUiTulVXB5AFoMFvteyNuuhvBFCdQknzbf5RyV3fxFVb8IcPnGzUNJvRy1xQ0/s400/win5.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMlu64Oo1KC32t3QS1OyNnInlxNI3KSpj4wrTOBoaUCOI4U8xet7D4CvEGUHphwKTCt5JMSN-9Mnb6s9yfdWKW-D_AnYA4_WSTE-o6u9UqoFCqjdDqYCIgkqFvFg_8FGCCXBj2UyGyx_A/s1600-h/winclock.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262506082776129330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMlu64Oo1KC32t3QS1OyNnInlxNI3KSpj4wrTOBoaUCOI4U8xet7D4CvEGUHphwKTCt5JMSN-9Mnb6s9yfdWKW-D_AnYA4_WSTE-o6u9UqoFCqjdDqYCIgkqFvFg_8FGCCXBj2UyGyx_A/s400/winclock.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkbrVxaQWJ8kPKoATEVlFHdQxm5ZG8kqT8XiF0lw00gubSaTz4vTPVzRVcKE4dJHD9IhF0VBnj0ip8RsCT_MQuOkWRrN8kkS3V_w6msW41yt8_2UhjkGJlgYsoI0BFUOq_4UuKALNtZX0/s1600-h/winpictre.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262506080301161474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 277px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkbrVxaQWJ8kPKoATEVlFHdQxm5ZG8kqT8XiF0lw00gubSaTz4vTPVzRVcKE4dJHD9IhF0VBnj0ip8RsCT_MQuOkWRrN8kkS3V_w6msW41yt8_2UhjkGJlgYsoI0BFUOq_4UuKALNtZX0/s400/winpictre.JPG" border="0" /></a>The taskbar's system tray has also been improved. A common complaint about the tray is that it fills with useless icons and annoying notifications. With 7, the tray is now owned entirely by the user. By default, new tray icons are hidden and invisible; the icons are only displayed if explicitly enabled. The icons themselves have also been streamlined to make common tasks (such as switching wireless networks) easier and faster. <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div></div></div></div>Nirajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10415410887908660224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923094410237734181.post-63503117570079427502008-10-28T21:55:00.000-07:002008-10-28T22:08:08.173-07:00Windows 7 Wallpaers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKILzEWXYXD3URRNKRZtLHKD8Wnqu_p76rh0SmoFpN8g43yatmL3Ihqd20-m0D4sukl3kDeh4ei5htvbUissglescPjdnUKzj9oLVZi5upRY6OON6A096Ik4YTIpyHXo63aJpfg-UhpH4/s1600-h/windows_vista_inspirant_4___w7_b10.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262437517901100114" style="DISPLAY: block;

We're committing $10 million to implement these projects, and while money may offer a jump-start, it really comes down to the great ideas that we know are out there.

The power of the Internet has changed the way we find, manage and share information -- and we believe it<br />will only continue to change the way we live. While we don't have a crystal ball to see exactly what the future holds, we asked a number of our in-house experts to share their thoughts on how this phenomenal technology will evolve in the next 10 years. You can read their<br />responses in a special blog series. We hope you're inspired by their ideas.<br /><a href="http://www.google.com/tenthbirthday/ten-years-out.html">http://www.google.com/tenthbirthday/ten-years-out.html</a></div>Nirajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10415410887908660224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923094410237734181.post-2622275832049802772008-09-12T09:26:00.000-07:002008-09-12T09:58:24.239-07:00Google celebrates its 10th years of existance<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjq-4GgO_46aDpI-EOKYhAwnr9cLfqLJY_KcDx5wldA1P4kXahCZ3_zDiEq0Z1ML6iTFSbwaVZVvDb9i5s5td7wZwVEH9dOFM2w7_6hPEoPoHY_29TlStKTwLkTEQ1GyzO4W8EF_2LrWE/s1600-h/g1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjq-4GgO_46aDpI-EOKYhAwnr9cLfqLJY_KcDx5wldA1P4kXahCZ3_zDiEq0Z1ML6iTFSbwaVZVvDb9i5s5td7wZwVEH9dOFM2w7_6hPEoPoHY_29TlStKTwLkTEQ1GyzO4W8EF_2LrWE/s400/g1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245173243817987394" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">1998: Garage days</span><br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">Photo: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.williammercermcleod.com/">William Mercer McLeod</a></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Larry Page and Sergey Brin accept a $100,000 check from Sun Microsystems co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim and incorporate Google Inc. on Sept. 7.

Is your partner spending late nights in his/her office or he is making excuses for not spending enough quality time with you? Is he temperamental and distant? Is he losing interest in sex? </em></div><div align="justify">If the answer to any of these questions is 'yes', there is a possibility that your partner is cheating on you.<br /><strong>Top ten reasons why you shouldn't trust him...</strong><br />Whether you are married or in a steady relationship, being betrayed is the most sore pain that can happen to you. Here are the top ten warning signs to watch out for...<br />1) He is reluctant to introduce you to his friends/parents. This is a sure shot sign that your partner is scared of long term commitment. If your relationship is new, the apprehension is very normal as he may want to spend more time with you before he is convinced that you right for him. However, if he has been avoiding or postponing the idea, it's very likely that he is not sure of his intentions.<br />2) Observing his body language is an excellent way to find out what's playing on his mind. If he avoids making eye contact while talking to you, it's possible that he's not very confident about what he says, he's distracted and doesn't seem to be interested in the conversation.<br />3) He is hesitant to hold your hand in public view. While you may believe there may be other reasons for doing so, but often, it means that he's not sure of his feelings or may not be interested in a long-term relationship. So, find a guy who wants to show you off to the world, even when you are in your worst outfit!<br />4) He doesn't call back if you have an argument and you hang up on him. Needless to say, he doesn't think you are 'important' enough and can easily do without you. Megha Agarwal says, "I often get into heated arguments with my boyfriend. At times, I get really irritated when he doesn't even listen to what I have to say and I just hang up on him. I expect him to at least call me back, if not immediately, then perhaps a while later. But he doesn't call me up unless I take the initiative. This really hurts me and makes me feel as if I am not at all important for him."<br />5) He argues with you on petty issues and doesn't respect your point of view. He's constantly reminding you of what he does for you, while never acknowledging your efforts.<br />6) Whenever you plan to go out for a hot date, he always insists on meeting up at his place. He doesn't really care whether you're in the mood to be cosy or not and literally forces his opinion on you. Gal, it's time for you to sit back and think 'really' hard whether it's love or lust.<br />7) If he is very careless in remembering your birthday or your wedding anniversary and always keeps saying he's too busy and doesn't have the time to remember/celebrate such occasions, it means he's making excuses or doesn't attach too much importance to 'togetherness'. Nishtha Mehta, who works in a telecom company says, "When I got married, my husband really pampered me on my birthday and made me feel extra special. But with time, it seems he's just lost interest and even forgets our anniversary these days. These small gestures really matter to me and I feel very disheartened when he doesn't even care to apologise for his absent mindedness, simply stating that he was pre-occupied with work."<br />8) If he's too possessive about his cell phone, his E-mails, letters or his cupboard for instance, chances are he might be hiding something from you. Richa Singh (name changed on request) , a housewife says, "My husband never lets me take his phone calls or read his messages, he gets really offended if I ever do so. He never lets me use his laptop which makes me even slightly suspicious. Even the thought that he's hiding something from me makes me feel insecure and helpless."<br />9) He often looks for reasons 'not' to meet up with you. He makes lame excuses and doesn't give a valid explanation. He says he will call you and then forgets. While such incidents may happen occasionally, if you have been observing these traits very frequently, it's likely that he's deliberately avoiding you.<br />10) He keeps comparing you to his colleague or a friend's girlfriend or doesn't let you speak to your guy pals, while he has a great time with his female friends, chances are that he is attracted to someone else or is not very convinced about having you as a life partner.<br />While finding out that your partner is cheating on you may be very painful, it's always better to know the harsh truth rather than regretting being fool hardy later. As they say, "If you love someone, set them free, if he comes back, he was yours, if he does not, he never was..." </div>Nirajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10415410887908660224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923094410237734181.post-74727252893585711242008-09-09T02:15:00.001-07:002008-09-09T02:18:10.957-07:00Using mobile while pregnant?

Experts have warned that heavy usage can seriously affect male fertility. According to the study, kids exposed to phones pre-natally and in early childhood show an 80 per cent rise in behaviour problems. The study found that kids’ brains absorb a greater proportion of radiation emitted by mobiles due to skull formation.<br />“We strongly recommend the Government actively discourages mobile phone use by children, including making public advice leaflets readily available in NHS waiting rooms,” the Sun quoted Graham Philips, co-author of the study, as saying. The study will be unveiled at the Radiation Research Trust Conference, in London<br /></div>Nirajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10415410887908660224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923094410237734181.post-86608811721822709842008-09-09T01:53:00.000-07:002008-09-09T01:55:00.228-07:00Czech nationals convicted for theft of butterflies<div align="justify">An Indian court convicted two Czech nationals, in custody since June 22, of illegally collecting butterflies in West Bengal's Singhalila National Park in violation of wildlife protection laws.<br />The Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) of Darjeeling Monday pronounced the two guilty of violating the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, as well as the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, according to a statement issued here by the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI), an NGO helping the prosecution.<br />Czech nationals Petr Svacha and Emil Kucera were arrested June 22 from a hotel in Srikhola by forest officials. Hundreds of preserved and live insects as well as equipment were seized from them.<br />Although similar cases involving foreign nationals have been reported from India in the past, this is the first well-documented case where authorities have successfully tracked and arrested the accused, the statement said.<br />Investigating officer Arbinden Lepcha said: "We asked them to show the legal ownership certificate for the insects in their possession. As they did not have any permits, they were arrested and the insects seized under section 50 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act."<br />The insects have been sent to the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) for identification.<br />Kucera, a forester, has a website offering to sell insects, while Svacha is a senior scientist at the Institute of Entomology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ASCR) and managing editor of the European Journal of Entomology.<br />Both said the insects were for research purpose. They had failed to register at the Foreigners' Registration Office, entered India on a tourist visa and did not possess permission for research, the statement said.<br />One of the witnesses, P. Mukhopadhyay, a ZSI scientist, had testified that a beetle species, Cucujus bicolor, that falls under the Schedule II Part II of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, has been identified. Identification of the remaining specimens was on. </div>Nirajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10415410887908660224noreply@blogger.com0
