Bill pleads for a Nobel Price?

‘Bill Gates’ surely one of the big names of the computer history. But in the near future his name may end up as merely as a footnote in the history pages of information technology as the new names will come to the scene. But certainly we can say that the last decade will be names after him when we think about computers and information technology. Many of his critics say that he took the advantage of the monopoly that he created and consistently built on it. Even many governments turned against him claiming that he is taking the advantage of monopoly and forcing the people to use only Microsoft products.

As everyone knows he emerged as a small entrepreneur who crates small software or application programs. But he was very lucky to sign leading hardware companies who were in search for suitable software. And that was just the beginning Bill was looking for. Soon with the introduction of Microsoft DOS and Windows 95 operating systems, he became the undisputed leader of the computer industry and thus occupied the position of world’s wealthiest man for a continuous thirteen years. After the introduction of Windows 95 operating system, he never had to look back in his way of progressing.

What about his Leadership? Surely he was a good leader and hard worker. There is no question about his creativity and leadership capabilities. But he was never a good person when faced legal questioning. There were many companies to compete with Microsoft. But the money power and the monopoly helped Bill to overcome the crisis. But in the field of internet technology, Bill Gates was too much late to make a mark by his standards. By then a company named Netscape had made its market like a giant and that was a challenge to Microsoft and Bill Gates. Soon Microsoft introduced the new Windows 95 operating system with free bundled internet explorer for browsing. Many of us thought that Microsoft had won the competition but that was not true because they won by cheating. By giving internet explorer browser free with operating system, Bill Gates ensured that the products of Netscape will not see light anymore. And that was a sheer move by Gates which made Netscape suffers. And hence Netscape was out of the map. Bill used his money power and monopoly to overcome the crisis named Netscape. But he never confessed that he had committed the crime and he kept on doing it with all those small companies and ideas which stood in his way to success.

Certainly the last decade belongs to Microsoft and Bill Gates. But the present decade has proved the presence of a new trend named as Google. In the internet field, Bill never was able to make a mark and he is a lot late. Google has gone very forward a huge distance a major share of the internet market is now with Google. Google opens its wide range with their search engine and by the time passed Google made each and every application free of cost online which ultimately was a setback for Microsoft products. Products like MS Office and other office automation packages faced a major setback by the introduction of Google online application such as Google Docs. In other words we can say that Google is now using the same kind of weapon which was used by Microsoft a long time ago. But Google makes it more transparent with the participation of common people who enjoys all these facilities. The major share of the market especially in the field of advertisement has been captured by the Google and the Microsoft and Bill Gates stood as spectators. Even though, Bill Gates was not ready to accept the defeat and he tried his best. But now after a long time span, he seems too had accepted the defeat and thus he recently decided to step down as the active chairman of Microsoft. In the views of his critics, he always had a goal to achieve which he often sets on his mind and he almost did succeed in each and every task put in front of him. The same way he had to face the Google which proved a bit big task for him and seems to have accepted the failure. Now he ran out of options and decided to set a new goal to achieve that is to win a Nobel price for peace. For his new venture he created the Bill Gates & Melinda Foundation for charity and its main aim is to eradicate malaria from the face of the earth. Well we all know that he is good entrepreneur and leader, but we are unaware of the fact that there is a good person and kind heart inside the geek who changed the entire it scenario. Well let us wish him all the best for his new venture.

Breakfast in Zero Gravity

"We didn’t have our breakfast yet, my friends!" said Michael Ardan. "I don’t think we lost our hunger in zero gravity, do we? So I will make a good breakfast for you. The breakfast made with the lowest weighed food ingredients in the world."

He started to make it without expecting any reply from his companions..

“Take a look at our Water bottle, my friends; it looks like empty, isn’t it?" said Ardan while opening the bottle cap. "But you cannot fool me; I know why u are so light weighted. Here I opened the cap. Now pour that weightless water inside you to my cooking bowl, let me see."

He slanted the bottle in many ways. But the water didn’t come out of it.

"You are spoiling your time Ardan" said Nichole, Ardan's friend who came to help him. “You cannot pour it as easy as you would have at home, because now we are at our space ship, and there is no gravity here. You must stir it out like syrup."

Ardan placed a pat at the bottom of the bottle. He was amazed to see a big sphere of water as big as his palm, coming out of the bottle mouth.

"What happened to the water?" shouted Ardan. “I was not expecting this. Please tell me what happened, my friends?"

“It is just a drop of water, dear Ardan. Water molecules can take any size where there is no weight and Gravity. Water flows and takes the shape of the vessel in which it is contained is because of the Gravity. Because of the fact that there is no gravity here, the force that acts on the water molecules is the internal molecular energy. So there no other way for water to form a spherical shape just as the sphere that was produced as a result of Plato’s Famous Oil Experiment."

"Plato can do anything, but I must boil some water in order to make the soup for you. No molecular energy can stop me from doing that”, Declared the French man.

He stirred the bottle with all his power to pour the water in to the vessel which was floating in air. But he felt everything was working against him. As soon as the big water spheres touched the vessel’s surface, it began to spread towards the outside. And the next moment it began to cover the entire vessel as a thick coat of liquid. Boiling the water in such a situation was impossible.

“This is a simple example which shows how much is the strength of a liquid in sticking to an object and it is a rare sight”, Nichole said very calmly. “Don’t be angry, we are just experiencing the material things getting wet. Gravity is not opposing it and that’s why we are able to see this rare sight.”

“Oh…I am so sorry, I couldn’t help it” replied Ardan. “What ever it is happening here, I want this water now and now in this vessel, not around the vessel. My goodness! Who the hell in this world is going to cook a soup in such a condition”?

“If it is the wet which is stopping you from doing that, it can be solved” Said Barbichen affectionately. “Object coated with wax does not get wet. Coat the vessel with some wax outside and your water will then remain inside”

“Well Done! This is what is science is all about”, said Ardan gleefully accepting the suggestion. Now he switched on the burner to boil the water. Again problem! This time the Gas burner refused. After burning for half a minute, it died. Ardan got surprised. He tried everything to keep the fire but it didn’t last much long.

“Barbichen! Nichole! Is there any way to light it up? With respect to your laws of physics and the rules by the gas company, it must burn” the French man pleaded to his friends.

“There nothing extraordinary about it” described Nichole. “The fire actually burns according to the physics laws. As far as the company rules are concerned, it has no existence in zero gravity. You know, when it burns it produces both carbon dioxide and vapor. Both are not flammable. In normal condition these two keeps away from the flame. Both have temperature and hence the air coming towards the flame will push them away. But in zero gravity both the products remain in the same place where they are produced and it covers the flame and block the fresh air to come near the flame. Thus it consequently helps in weakening the flame. This is the same method used by the fire extinguishers.”

“That means if gravity was not present on earth, there was no need of fire brigadiers; fire will descend automatically. Fire will kill himself by cutting his breath” said the French.

“That is right, now we will look to cook the soup. Light the burner once again. Then we will blow at the flame. Thus we can create an artificial air flow that will help the flame to burn as if it were on earth.”

They were determined. Ardan again lighted the burner and put the vessel on it. Then he kept himself back to see Barbichen and Nichole blowing alternatively at the flame with some fear. He believed that they and their science caused this problem.

“Ha Ha ! You people are doing the job of factory exhaust pipes very well,” commented Ardan. “My dear fellow scholars, I am feeling sorry for you. But there is no other go. If you want to have your breakfast, then you should obey the laws of physics.

Time passed as fast as it can. Quarter an hour passed, half an hour and now one hour is passed. Still no signs of boiling water.

“Be patient, dear friend. Natural weighed water will boil easily. Why? Because the different layers of the water will mix with each other. High weighed cool layer will tend to go downwards pushing the low weighted layers upwards the order. Thus the water gets boiled. Did you ever tried to boil the water from the upside. At that condition, the layers will not mix with each other. Because of the fact that the heated layer remains the same area, it will not get boiled. You know water is not a good conductor. It is foolishness to heat water from different corners in zero gravity. Because the different layers are not mixed with each other, the water will not boil. That’s sure. But if we want, we can do that by consistently mixing the water”.

Nichole warned Ardan not to heat the water till it gets boiled. Because when it boils, it will generate vapor. In zero gravity both water and vapor have same weight. So the water will easily mix with vapor to create foam.

Ardan opened the bag with seeds and got really angry. Seeds spread out to all the space and bounced off the walls. Suddenly one seed went into Nichols nose. Suddenly Ardan cried out to his friend to give him some help to bring out that seed out of his nose. For that Ardan urged his friends to hit Nichole on his chest and back like we do boxing on earth. Friends punched hard on Ardan seeing the chance. Suddenly the seed came out of his nose. Nichole breathed a sigh of relief. Seeds were flying on the air. Ardan and friends began to catch them with the nets which they bought with them to catch the flies of moon. Thanks to Ardan for keeping that net.

It was clear that cooking is very hard in these conditions. Even the experienced will lay their tools down. Ardan suffered a lot to cook meat here at zero gravity and it flew up (don’t know whether we can say ‘up’ and ‘down’ here because there is no up and down here) from the cooking pan before it was cooked. Meat flew up because of the force from the vapor that generated from the cooking oil that was coated to meat. Ardan kept it down using a fork.

Now having food at that condition too was a big task. Out heroes were flying in the air and their heads knocked the wall time and time again. There was no use of chairs and tables there. To drink the soup Ardan and friends had to do a lot of things again. Ardan and friends were not able to pour the soup into glass and hence Ardan placed another pat at the bottom of the bowl. Ardan first was a bit worried about what he saw after that. Soup began to fly on space in the shape of huge bubble. But soon he regained his presence and acrobatically caught the soup back into the bowl. This time they used a wax paper to make a straw and using that they consumed the soup.

Ankit Fadia- Hacker Genius or SkriptKiddie?

Ankit Fadia - this is the name of a new indian sensation who claims himself as a 'Hacker'and the indian media is backing him with all support. In his very short age, he has become the author of three books about 'Ethickal Hacking'. He is the youngest author in the history of Macmillan India.By the age of 14, he published his first book named "The unofficial guide to ethical hacking".

He was educated at Delhi Public School. He is the author of a website called "Hacking Truths", which he claims was judged as the "second best hacking site in the world by the FBI. He also claims that, at the age of 14, he breaked into the front page of an indian IT related magazine's(which is 'Digit')website. After that he simply informed the authorities of that site about the hack, and suggesting some counter measures. The authorities arranged a meeting with the so called hacker, but when they saw him, they were surprised to see that he was just a boy. In his finding he always favoured U.S. and there fore his site was stated as the second best in the world, there is no surprise in that. In his site he claims that, he discovered a link between the chineese government and the China Eagle Union, a cracker group responsible for defucing many U.S. Web sites. He also claimed that the "Long term goal of the Chineese is actually to take over the internet and control all the parts of the internet.
He was the one who decoded the harddisk that was captured from pak militants and hence he became the hotspot for the indian media.Fadia's earlier site, Ankitfadia.com, was attacked in 2003, by a cracker who self-identified as SkriptKiddie. Fadia explained that he was usig a private web server for hosting his website and they were responsible for the lack of security.

Is he a real genius? There are some controversies about him. What are they? Click here to find- Ankit_Fadia

In my opinion, he doesnt deserve to be known as an 'Ethickal'Hacker. The main fact is that, most of the hackers uses an operating system other than the windows, while Fadia uses Windows Xp. See more facts on this link- http://www.groupsrv.com/linux/about74571.html

Friendship Fundas..

Friendship Fundas!

When GOD created mankind, he also created Friendship along with mankind as a gift to him. Man's first friend is Mother Nature. There after he made friendship with birds and animals. And then god created somebody to share his feelings with him as a friend. As man evolved in to a civilized being, the name of the relations just changed day by day. In the modern ages, friendships are not wholehearted. Everyone eyes something from each and every relationship especially from a friendship. Now a day, friendships are not deep hearted. The word 'Friendship' needs to be redefined. Man spoiled the real and pure friendship with his rubbish thoughts and actions.

What is the real need for a friendship? Some times there will be no one to hear our feelings and this leads man to a complete disaster named suicide. Most of the suicides happen in this society due to the lack of counseling. Somebody have to hear their problems and offer some solutions, which work or not, don’t matter. In such moments we feel the importance of a good friend. Even the parents will not be that much patient to hear the problems of their children in this fast modern life.

How can we make a good friendship? How can be a good friend? How we can find good friends? Here are some suggestions.

Friendship begins with a smile.
Confectionaries add sweetness to friendship. Not only friendship, it ads sweetness to any kind of relationship.
Address your friend with his/her name only; don’t add Mr. / Mrs. or anything like that.
Say "Hi" to your friend, not Hello
Don’t say "Sorry" to a friend. Friends never apologize to each other.
Don’t call by his/her nick name in front of others.
Stand for your friend at any circumstance.
Never criticize your friend in the presence of others.
Don’t say "You are my good friend" to your friend.
Friendship has no languages and it speaks itself.
Money makes distance between good friends. Better keep it away!
If you feel for your good friend in his/her bad times, talk to him/her looking to the eyes.
An affectionate look can do what sometimes thousand words can't do
If you want to be a good friend, be a good listener.
Be patient when your friend talks to you.
Point out his/her faults only with love and affection.
Don’t use harsh words while you are talking to your friend.
Give example as if you were him/her; don’t bring anyone else in between.
Love your friend as you love yourself.
Believe your friend as you believe yourself.
Care your friend as you care yourself.
A "friend" and a "good friend" differ.
Tell your secrets to a good friend only
A good friend never peeps into your secrets.
Don’t guess anything about your friend, just ask him/her
Be proud of your friends, because
All the work that you put into them will come straight back to you.
Pray for your friend, wish for your friend
But don’t expect them to do the same.
Because “Desire is the cause of Sadness” my friend!

Wazz..Up!
