A Mamoth 55ft snake found in malaysia

 

A photograph purporting to show a 55ft snake found in a forest in China has become an internet sensation.
It was originally posted in a thread on the website of the People’s Daily, the official Communist Party newspaper in China.
The thread claimed the snake was one of two enormous boas found by workers clearing forest for a new road outside Guping city, Jiangxi province.
They apparently woke up the sleeping snakes during attempts to bulldoze a huge mound of earth.
“On the third dig, the operator found there was blood amongst the soil, and with a further dig, a dying snake appeared,” said the post.
“At the same time, another gold coloured giant boa appeared with its mouth wide open. The driver was paralysed with fear, while the other workers ran for their lives.
“By the time the workers came back, the wounded boa had died, while the other snake had disappeared. The bulldozer operator was so sick that he couldn’t even stand up.”
The post claimed that the digger driver was so traumatised that he suffered a heart attack on his way to hospital and later died.
The dead snake was 55ft (16.7m) long, weighed 300kg and was estimated to be 140 years old, according to the post.
However, local government officials in Guiping say the story and photograph are almost certainly a hoax as giant boas are not native to the area.Via : peopledaily.com

Apple iWatch 2 Design Appears, More Elegant Than Ever

 Loading ... The creator of the first Apple iWatch and the iCam camera, ADR Studio has now come up with the iWatch 2 concept, that’s shown below. It’s been two years since the first iWatch design, that was praised and published on Gizmodo and Wired. Now there’s a new device, one that integrates WiFi, Bluetooth, a RSS reader and 32GB of memory.

You also get a weather forecast feature, the ability to connect to the iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth or WiFi and a LCD projector, plus front facing camera. The Apple iWatch 2 has a casing that reminds me of a jewel, with a very original slide to open box. The watch has a slim design, uses a polycarbonate main body, an aluminum chassis, PK2 Kevlar insert and a bracelet in 5 colors with polycarbonate insert.
I expect here the battery life to be simply amazing and in case you’re wondering if this thing it’s real, know that it’s a mere concept for now, but people have been wearing their iPod nano units like watches, by attaching bracelets to them. That’s as close to a real iWatch as you’re ever going to get… at least till Apple makes it. Once again great job for ADR Studio, that has some fantastic designs, I must admit…

Specs Appeal: Google X Lab Testing Virtual Reality Glasses

The closely guarded secret Google X lab has been testing the idea of ‘wearable computing’, said to be computer glasses that superimpose information over reality.

The original assumption was that the ‘wearable computing’ device would be some sort of watch running on Android, until Google specialist Seth Weintraub stated otherwise.

Reporting on 9to5Google Weintraub said: “They are in late prototype stages of wearable glasses that look similar to thick-rimmed glasses that normal people wear…However, these provide a display with a heads up computer interface. There are a few buttons on the arms of the glasses, but otherwise, they could be mistaken for normal glasses.”

The technology is supposed to be an open secret but has now reached the masses. Google have supposedly employed MIT wearable computing specialist Richard DuVal, who sounds like just the bloke for the job after completing a PHD titled, The Memory Glasses.

All sounds pretty Mission Impossible if you ask us…Watch this space.

 

Dhanush at IIM-A !

National Award winning actor Dhanush has come across as an example for viral marketing, after the craze that his Kolaveri song created worldwide. The track was penned and crooned by the Tamil hero for his soon-to-be-released movie '3', helmed by his director-wife Aishwarya and hitting the theatres in Tamil and Telugu simultaneously on April 13.
Such was his popularity that the 21 films old matinee idol was invited to Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) on Tuesday. "Gearing up to make my speech at IIM institute ahmedabad tom.I don’t know good English, but who cares. I'm an Indian. not English. Hehe," Dhanush tweeted about the invite.
The actor delivered hour-and-a-half long lecture regarding the success story of his 'soup song', its viral marketing and social media to about 130 students of Contemporary Film Industry course at the IIM-A.
He was accompanied by cousin and music director Anirudh Ravichander. The musical rendition became a raging success with over 10 million downloads online. The IIMs have since been treating it as a classic example of viral marketing and included as a case study for its students.

Deepika to play female lead in Rajni-starrer Kochadaiyaan

Speculations regarding Rajnikanth's [ Images ] lading lady in his new film Kochadaiyaan have finaly been put to rest.

It is not Katrina Kaif [ Images ] but Deepika Padukone [ Images ] who will act opposite the superstar in the film.

Early reports stated that Katrina Kaif had been signed which were later denied by the PRO of the production house. They have officially confirmed that Deepika has been roped in to play the female lead in Kochadaiyaan.

The 3D Tamil film will be directed by the mega star's younger daughter Soundarya [ Images ] R. Ashwin and written by K.S. Ravikumar.

Deepika was Rajni's heroine in Rana. The film went on the floor last year and the actor had shot a few scenes when he fell ill and had to take a break to recuperate.

Rana has been shelved for the time being and Rajni has taken up Kochadaiyaan.

Now, Dhanush sings for Tendulkar

For Tamil actor Dhanush, there is no getting away from his Kolaveri di fame. He is now inundated with really tempting offers to sing. And though he's reluctant about that, Dhanush has just come up with his second potential chartbuster which goes on air next week.

The song, a homage to cricketer Sachin Tendulkar [ Images ] goes, One plus one-u two-u two-u, if not Sachin who-u who-u...'

Dhanush, a big Tendulkar fan, wrote the song as a campaign for an energy drink.

Dhanush will be singing in Hindi movies too. Director Aanand Rai, who has signed the actor to play the lead in Raanjhanaa, has asked Dhanush to sing at least one song in the film. Though initially he begged off, sources close to the project say Dhanush has agreed to sing a folk song of Uttar Pradesh [ Images ] for his Varanasi character, which promises to be as catchy as Amitabh Bachchan's [ Images ] Khaike paan banaras wala in Don.

Dhanush still calls himself a reluctant singer.

"I really don't think I will be singing much," he says. "I'm an actor by profession, singer by default. Boost, the energy drink, approached me to do a song for Sachin Tendulkar, which I happily did. I've treated the song as an introduction to a mass hero. It has accessible lyrics like Kolaveri di."

About singing for his Hindi debut Dhanush says, "Whatever my director asks me to do, I will do."

IRCTC authorize SMS tickets

In a step to further make train reservation ticketing system passenger friendly, the ministry of railways has decided to permit Short Messaging Service (SMS) sent by Indian Railways Catering & Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) equivalent to Electronic Reservation Slip (ERS).
The decision has come into effect from 1st February, 2012.
The message will be considered valid only if- it contains all the vital ticket details like PNR, train number, date of journey, class, name and number of passengers, coach and seat number and fare paid; also if possible, the SMS will accommodate the names of all passengers booked on the e-ticket, otherwise maximum number of passengers.
The authorized SMS containing all the mentioned important details when displayed through laptops/palmtops/mobile phones combined with valid photo-id in original, shall be treated as an instrument on par with the ERS.
The railways earlier decided to treat the screen shot of the e-ticket displayed through laptops/palmtops/mobile phones, referred to as virtual reservation Message (VRM) and the Mobile Reservation Message (MRM) for tickets booked on mobile phones combined with valid photo-id in original, as an instrument on par with the Electronic Reservation Slip (ERS). The SMS will have to be displayed during the course of On-board/Off-board checking. If the passenger fails to produce/display this SMS due to any eventuality (loss, discharged mobile/laptop etc.) but has the prescribed proof of identity, a penalty of Rs 50 per ticket as applicable to such cases will be levied.

NOKIA panics as a minor software glitch hits its flagship LUMINA 800

 Nokia has identified a software glitch in some units of its Lumia 800 and offered to replace the handsets of affected users within a week of the Windows-based smartphone's high-profile launch in the country.

"India impact will be minimal since we just started shipping," a Nokia India spokeswoman said. The glitch prevents the handset from accessing full battery capacity and Nokia said it can be fixed with a software update that it will release early next year, but critics see it as a major setback to the Finnish giant's efforts to defend its leadership in the smartphone market under threat from Samsung.

Nokia had unleashed its biggestever marketing blitz to promote Lumia , its first Windows-based smar tphone, which many analysts called a make-or-break product for the world's largest handset maker. An expert said this will impact brand Nokia. "An amazing glitch after an amazing marketing campaign ," he said, requesting anonymity . "Already under fire, this battery issue would come as a New Year gift for its rivals."

X-BOX 360(Game console)

Now that people in India have come out of their busy schedule for some entertainment, and also given the fact that digital gadgets are finding place in every household , I think it would help all you people planning to buy or know about this beautiful gadget.First of all , its capabilities , Im not going into the specs as i know you'll get on every site, so it can play DVDs i.e. even movies,songs,and offcourse games. It has support for USB,HDMI,WiFi,etc. You can get one around Rs.14,500(revised price is Rs.13,700).

NOKIA N900- My best gadget

Hi all its been a long since i have written an entry here, btw I almost left my hobby of blogging. But now I am back and what made me come back is this cute gaint gadget the N900.
It is one of the best gadget (or call it the smartest phone) produced by NOKIA. It packs in a punch with it. For the people still unaware of its features here is a dosier.
First thing is that it has an LINUX OS codenamed MAEMO which is a bit different from the usuall phones.Secondly you name a feature and N900 has it all, be it IR,inbuilt drive,BT,camera,etc.But its nothing special, all phones do come with these features, dont they? The punch line of this beast is yet to follow, so read on. ANDROID has become a craze amoung the smartphone users. And each brand is bringing out the best features using this platform, and already popular OSes like WEBOS of PALM and iOS of iPhone are doing good. Now why should i mention all these OSes unwantedly in a topic which is not related by any means. Think again its related , because this beast is capable of running all these OSes in a jiffy. And the best part is that you can boot multiOS. Now thats awesome isnt it, you get a palm , android , Linux all the OSes in a single machine. The suckerpunch is that it also runs WINDOWS XP.

Stop and have a rush to this website, as this website has literally got it all, starting from the model specs to the price and also the sites where you can get hot deals on the item. Besides mobile phones the site also has relative information on laptops and LCD\Plasma tv's. Now to real deal to what i was after . First I hit to the site and found various tabs on the top of the home page and the newest deals available filled up the rest. I clicked on to the mobile Phones tab and got of to meddle with some of the features of the site. The vendor which you want to choose can be selected from the top left . And it has almost all the available models in the Indian market . I set on to search a sony ericsson phone. The search specs are quite innovative , the price range can be chosen using a slider and all your basic phone needs can be clicked on . The results are displayed in a zippy. And almost all the information that you need about your mobile phone is displayed along with the cost . At the bottom of the screen they have also managed to pull out the hot offers for the particular product from the likes of storeguru.com and similar online shops. The only pain rather which made me upset with this amazing site was that I couldn't find more than 25 models when I searched for a sony ericsson mobile phone in the 0-15k price range . Whereas there are actually 200 or more models from the company in this price for Indian market. Sad but overall the site was a helpful one , and this thing also will get addressed as time goes on. Another nifty feature is that you can compare to model from two different vendors side by side. On the whole,the data provided by the site is dependable and reliable.
