This company has huge potential. What makes this more special is that I am Indian, so there is a huge feeling of redemption for me. It is buying back a company that owned India. It would be nice to go back to my motherland as the owner. It is very personal to me.
The british company that created British India is now owned by an Indian businessman Sanjiv Mehta. What a irony!
This is another theory about our coming into existence, which is picking up a scientific vigour. Here's the abstract:
With steadily mounting evidence that points to a cosmic origin of terrestrial life, a cultural barrier prevails against admitting that such a connection exists. Astronomy continues to reveal the presence of organic molecules and organic dust on a huge cosmic scale, amounting to a third of interstellar carbon tied up in this form. Just as the overwhelming bulk of organics on Earth stored over geological timescales are derived from the degradation of living cells, so it seems likely that interstellar organics in large measure also derive from biology. As we enter a new decade – the year 2010 – a clear pronouncement of our likely alien ancestry and of the existence of extraterrestrial life on a cosmic scale would seem to be overdue.
I guess that someone should alos write the book "Simplified Astrology for Astronomers" :-)
Sikuli Script is like a bash script for applications with UI. Just watch the demo to get the idea!
This can only work where sound waves can propagate, that means there's a need for expanding atmosphere.
The original Apple Tablet concept from 1983. It was called "bashful" then. The design of the keyboard look still modern though.
The copying of Apple products doesn't only stay at designing and OS (*cough*), but also with the advertisement.
Our galaxy is unimaginably vast, and we really have no idea what is out there. We are discovering new planets in other star systems all the time, learning new facts about the galactic core, and even learning about whole new portions of the galaxy. This map is an attempt to approach our galaxy with a bit more familiarity than usual and get people thinking about long-term possibilities in outer space.
I have those bunch of share buttons and bookmarklets filling up my whole bookmark tool bar. But shareaholic brings everything in one with nice button next to navigation bar. With this new version (v1.9.5) one can even see the website stats, like number of clicks, Diggs, Delicious entries, etc. Really useful tool when you want to convey anything or any content.
