Mesmerized by UBUNTU !!!!!

Hi friends,
I would like to share my experience working in LINUX platforms for the 1st time ever.I believe this post is just a beginning to discover something useful to others when they really love to start working in LINUX.Before getting started off with UBUNTU a week ago, I had an assumption surrounded by an illusion in my mind that nothing is better than windows OS because of the reason may be the addiction I had(have) on windows and windows still rocks no doubt in that.I should accept that this assumption was really due to unawareness about other platforms.

An interest and fascination towards LINUX began when my friend Nandakumar told me about participating in a open-source application development projects conducted by web search giant.To be frank I don't know anything about open-source applications but would be interested in learning new things.I do hope it will give you an uniqueness among your college friends or company colleagues due to simple reason that its more important to be a student in this game played by human competitors called LEARNING and learning never ends and anything learnt never be considered as a waste.When I saw that corresponding site to know about the tools and languages required for the open-source application Oh My GOD!! It was a kind of shock that I didn't even come across those names and that ignorance hit me very hard in self-realizing the bitter fact that I had done nothing to update myself technically in these many years of college life.
As a result of this unconsciousness,got some useful docs based on basic open-source programming from my friend Sornakumar who knows a lot about LINUX particularly UBUNTU.Nothing can be achieved in over-night but I believe the steps to achievement is directly proportional to the precious time spent beneficially.

I hope I will post regular informative stuff about LINUX programming :-)

GOOOOOOOOOOOOGLE TV !!

2010-10-14T21:32:00.000-07:00

Friends we all know that Google is the all time leader of innovation in web.Do you think they'l restrict their brains from thinking apart from web??!!!! Noooo.....

Now, they entered into electronics world by taking a 1st step in developing a TV that is embedded with web technology and supported with Google's Android applications.

The websites are now tweaked by the developers in such a way to give a better view in the television.And Google will be expected to create a revolution in this field by introducing their mind blowing product along with SONY....!!!!

Hope you all will be eager to know about the modernism of Google TV and its advance features.

Here we go...........................................

There's more on TV than television.

Search your television

Type in what you want to watch, and we'll find it for you. Google TV lets you seamlessly search all of the content on your TV, the web, and apps – then access it with a single click. You can also easily switch between TV and the web without having to change inputs on your television.

The web is now a channel

With Google Chrome and Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Google TV lets you access everything on the web. Watch your favorite web videos, view photos, play games, check fantasy scores, chat with friends, and do everything else you're accustomed to doing online. Plus, the world's best websites are now being perfected for television -- check out our Spotlight gallery for examples.

A new world of apps for your TV

Google TV will come pre-loaded with apps like Netflix, Twitter, CNBC, Pandora, Napster, NBA Game Time, Amazon Video On Demand and Gallery. Starting early next year, apps from Android Market will work on Google TV as well.
Watch the video.

Your phone = remote control

Your Android phone or iPhone can be used to control your Google TV in place of a remote control. Use your voice to search, and even use multiple phones to control the same TV. No more fighting over the remote!

Fling a video to your television

Find a great website on your phone and want to show it to everyone? Now you can. "Fling" what you're watching, listening to, or doing on your phone by sending it to your TV with the press of a button.

Watch it now

Never miss a show again. With Google TV, you can access over 40,000 shows and movies whenever you want with Netflix ($8.99 a month) or Amazon Video On Demand (shows start at 99 cents!).

YouTube perfected for TV

YouTube is great on the web, but it's even better on television. With YouTube Leanback, you can watch videos without ever clicking play -- just sit back and watch all of your favorite YouTube content, personally chosen for you, in full screen HD. You can even create new channels on the fly.

Watch and browse,
simultaneously

With Google TV, you can browse the web or open an app and watch TV on the same screen. Check your fantasy football stats while watching the game, check your @replies on Twitter during American Idol, or purchase a product online right after you watch the ad. It's just like picture-in-picture mode, but with the web and the TV.

TV gets a homepage

Turn on your television and you'll instantly have access to your favorite channels, apps, podcasts, and websites, thanks to the Google TV home screen. The home screen is customizable for you, by you, so that you can always change your preferences.

Create a TV playlist

Want to watch something, but don't have time right now? Send it to your Google Queue and watch it later. You can also subscribe to your favorite websites and video podcasts, add YouTube videos, and more. It's like building a DVR for the web.

Record from the search bar

If you're a DISH Network subscriber using Google TV, you’ll enjoy many enhanced TV and DVR features, including recording a show right from the search bar and being able to search all of your recordings at once.

Rock out in your living room

Listen to your favorite music on the best speakers in your house by creating a personal radio station on the fly with Pandora or listening to any song, any time, with Napster.

The ultimate picture frame

Turn the biggest screen in your house into a beautiful, high definition photo gallery. Now your TV can stream photos from Picasa, Flickr, and every other photo-sharing site. Plus, you can access any public gallery, not just your own.

Over-the-air updates

How many consumer electronics products go up in value after you buy them? Google TV updates itself automatically, so you'll get new features for free.

Young SuperStar weds Charming Anushka

2010-04-30T21:43:00.000-07:00

The ‘young superstar’ Silambarasan known for his rollicking love affairs in the past is all set to settle down with his lady love.

The hero who recently altered his Little Superstar title, seems to be making a conscious effort to change his image to that of a sophisticated, young gentleman from the previous image of a romeo.

Having proclaimed his affinity for Anushka, soon after her Arundhati success, the charmer has never hidden his feelings for her. However the marriage has come as a total shocker to the industry and friends.

Simbu has already indulged his ladylove in some expensive gifts, including a De Beers diamond necklace and a Mont Blanc pen, with which Anushka has even inked a few film contracts. The couple has also recently been house hunting in posh localities like Boat Club and Poes Garden.

Simbu who has been linked with some of his past heroines says, “Anushka is a total beauty. I admire her professionalism and the grace with which she handles her personal life. Truly, I am lucky to have her.” The beauty is apparently visiting all the Chennai designers to plan her trousseau and her makeup artiste Nikki has already started exploring ‘looks’ for her big day.

Dressed in an elegant Manish Malhotra pink saree and glowing with shimmery cheek blush, the actress visited Simbu’s parents and sought their blessings last week. After the wedding, which is going to be a “simple south Indian affair,” Simbu shares, “I am planning to take her to Rome or Florence for the honeymoon. She deserves the best.”

Anushka speaking to the paper also disclosed, “I love his X6 BMW. He took me on a long drive and that’s when he proposed to me. I had to say yes, since he is such a well brought up person with nice values.” Visiting temples might not be Simbu’s favourite pastime, but he has apparently taken Anushka to an Amman temple in Kalakshetra colony in Besant Nagar to show his commitment towards marriage.

Although the couple believes in keeping it simple, the wedding is set to be a glitzy affair with some of the couple’s closest star pals in attendance.

Simbu is planning to get his clothes done by Sidney Sladen, while Anushka is still on the lookout for a designer.

Simbu who proposed to Anushka during a long drive, presented her with a solitaire ring from Tiffany’s.

Managing to surprise his close friends, Simbu told his dear ones about the marriage during a night out at a city bar . After marriage the couple plans to set up home in Chennai and plan to initiate their own production house.

wanna kno abt nanotechnology

2008-09-15T08:08:00.000-07:00

Nanotechnology is a group of emerging technologies in which the structure of matter is controlled at the nanometer scale, the scale of small numbers of atoms, to produce novel materials and devices that have useful and unique properties. Some of these technologies impose only limited control of structure at the nanometer scale, but they are already in use, producing useful products.

Foresight has had a long-standing interest in the capabilities that await at the other end of this development process, when advanced nanotechnology will enable construction of complex systems in which each individual atom is specified and serves a designed function in the system. To read about these capabilities and their consequences:

Molecular manufacturing is the name given to the proposal that molecular machine systems will eventually be able to manufacture most objects, including large objects, from the molecule up, building complex products with atomic precision.

The proposal that advanced nanotechnology will include artificial molecular machine systems capable of building complex systems to atomic precision has been controversial within the scientific community. In general, proponents have argued from the grounds of theoretical analysis coupled with the existence of multiple plausible implementation pathways from current technology, while opponents have been unimpressed with theoretical arguments in the absence of direct experimental demonstration of crucial milestones.

people are crazy about films

2008-09-15T08:02:00.000-07:00

People are carzy about the glamour of the movies & the stars. The stars are also normal human beings doing their work. Its people's mentality which needs to be changed.

Some people not all.
I have met and seen many film stars and star sportspersons but never lost my cool. I am not,i don't care much,,,i like to enjoy there acting only by film or drama that's all,,,any how we have to pay for that,,that's why i be live we viewers make them star they just try to make living,,,once one movie star in flight with us,every one try to look at him,i just laying down,,you right some people simply crazy,,,,just for joke some time i say look Rani or Ash dancing for me on t v because i paid for them....
Because focusing on celebrities lives, who come across beautiful, georgeous and perfect to us; takes away the reality that even they have problems with their lives.
They also live an ideal lifestyl, until you look at the negatives.
some are crazy about their stars histrionic talents,while some like their style of action,some are crazy about the beauty of the actors wile many gents think that their favourite actresses are their dream girls.In india many are crazy about their favourite actots/actresses dancing abilities.

sir alex ferguson and manchester united

2008-09-15T08:00:00.000-07:00

Ronaldo will be sold over my dead body." That power-packed statement reflects the United manager's determination that the Portuguese superstar will not be allowed to join Real Madrid in a world record £75million deal this summer. Fergie, totally backed by chief executive David Gill and the board, believes United must make a statement of defiance to Real, Ronaldo and the player's advisers.

Now Ferguson, who is on holiday in France, has backed that up with his "over my dead body" declaration. One possible route forward for United and Ronaldo is a proposal to review the position in a year's time. That way the Old Trafford club would be seen to be in control of the situation now. They would also gain another year to savour Ronaldo's exploits and it would allow the player to decide in the summer of 2009 whether he wants to move on. United will offer as an incentive the opportunity to review Ronaldo's contract if he is prepared to commit beyond one more year and sign a new long-term deal. His current contract expires in June 2012. United have steadfastly refused even to entertain talks with Real over the player's future. They believe that by meeting Real officials they would encourage the belief that Ronaldo will eventually move on. The consistent leaks from Real have angered United officials. The latest claim on the rumour mill is that Ronaldo has already signed an agreement to join the Spanish champions. That document would be worthless, given he's under contract to United. It would also be a key piece of evidence to prove United's assertion that Real had made an illegal approach.

Fabregas-spain star player

2008-09-15T07:55:00.000-07:00

Fabregas has played a pivotal role at Arsenal in recent seasons, marshalling the midfield with a maturity beyond his years and weighing in with some crucial goals when he ventures into attack.
He scored 13 goals for the Premier League club in all competitions last season, but has yet to open his account for Spain after 26 appearances for the national side.

Fabregas also dismissed suggestions from the Spanish media that he finds it difficult to play alongside Xavi in the midfield.he said "Asked if he was upset about the likelihood of starting on the bench for Spain's opening match in Group D against Russia on Tuesday, the midfielder replied: "It won't be a blow, I'm just here to help the team."
Spain go on to face Sweden and holders Greece in their bid to reach the last eight.""At Arsenal I had a period when even if I stubbed it with my big toe it went in. I don't only think about scoring goals but creating them. Why think negative when I can think positive."

David villa's comments in euro 2008

2008-09-15T07:51:00.000-07:00

The top-scorer of EURO 2008 continued: "We will have to see if between all the Spanish people we will be able to overcome Russia, so that we can reach the final."
In reference to the clash with Italy, Villa admitted that although the Italians are "a very dangerous team", Spain proved much "superior" to them, and what gave the Spaniards life were the "two saves made by Iker [Casillas]".
Villa scored Spain's first spot-kick in the penalty shootout, that ended up 4-2 in favour of the Spaniards, after Italy missed two of their penalty kicks.

We suffered a lot, but at the end we are all happy. It has been a long time now that history has owed us something," stated the striker, who said the King told the squad: "He was very happy, and he wanted to return to see the team win once again."

I'm very happy and proud to be his fan.

cricket and its fantasy

2008-09-15T07:40:00.000-07:00

cricket is one of the most popular games in the world.Cricket is essentially an outdoor sport, certainly at major level, and some games are played under floodlights. It cannot be played in poor weather due to the risk of accidents and so it is a seasonal sport. For example, it is played during the summer months in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, while in the West Indies, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh it is played mostly during the winter months to escape the hurricane and monsoon seasons.A cricket match is played on a grass field in the centre of which is a flat strip of ground 22 yards (20 m) long called a pitch. A wicket, usually made of wood, is placed at each end of the pitch and used as a target.It is a flat surface and has very short grass that tends to be worn away as the game progresses. The "condition" of the pitch has a significant bearing on the match and team tactics are always determined with the state of the pitch, both current and anticipated, as a deciding factor.

he stumps are placed in line on the bowling creases and so these must be 22 yards (20 m) apart. A bowling crease is 8 feet 8 inches (2.6 m) long with the middle stump placed dead centre. The popping crease has the same length, is parallel to the bowling crease and is 4 feet (1.2 m) in front of the wicket. The return creases are perpendicular to the other two; they are adjoined to the ends of the popping crease and are drawn through the ends of the bowling crease to a length of at least 8 feet (2.4 m).These are the fundamentals that we must knoe about cricket.
