Social Networking Sites- Your electronic footprint....beware


Many young people are publishing there content online without thinking about the electronic footprint they leave behind.

Posting information on a websites such as Orkut, Facebook and Dekoh could come back to haunt millions of young people. The youngsters do not realize that the information they are posting on these websites make them traceable in the future. They even didn’t realize it, the information they are posting could be permanently linked to them.

Increasing number of education institutions and employers are using the internet as a tool to find potential employees and potential students. The cost to a person’s future can be high if something undesirable is found by them on these sites.

Millions of new pieces of information being added to the internet every day, many of them are very much personal, but this information are available for the entire world through search engine and social networking site.

As per the statement by senior executive at Facebook, that his company viewed privacy as a major issue. But I think this is not true, recently Facebook announced there new product "Facebook adds", in that he is going to share your personal information to the merchants, and give you specific adds according to your published information.

However, the popularity of websites such as Facebook and MySpace is increasing, It may be fun, but unfortunately it is not safe space…

Be aware...

Few Questions

Excerpts from some of the questions asked by our honorable MPS, during the 2005 Operation Duryodhana by COBRAPOST and AAJ TAK

Whether the Railway Ministry has placed any order for purchase of the Yossarian Electro Diesel engine from Germany? Is the ministry aware that the Tom Wolfe committee report in Germany has halted its induction into the Euro Rail system?

Whether the Government has given sanction for the seed trial of Salinger Cotton of Monsanto? If so, has a report been prepared on Catch 22 cotton so far?

Has the ministry lifted the 1962 ban it imposed on the book “For whom the Bell Tolls” by Ernest Hemingway and the 1975 ban on Ken Kesey’s book “One Flew Over a Cuckoo’s Nest” and Hunter Thomson’s book “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”? If so, when were the bans removed?

Whether the government is aware that a domestic flying license has been denied to Cobra Cargo for starting operations in India? Since when has Semper Sursum Private Limited, the holding company of Cobra Cargo, applied for the domestic cargo license?

Is it true that while NRI firms such as India Uncut of USA, Sepia Mutiny of Britain and AnarCap Lib of Netherlands have been allowed to invest in Indian SSIs, the reputed German investment firm Desipundit has been denied permission? If so, the reasons thereof? Is the Union Government of India planning to make automatic the long procedure of permission for SSIs to import new technologies such as Trackbacks, Pingbacks, Blogrolls, Splogs and Hitcounters?

Quantum computing future success?


Quantum computing is going to turn the industry. D-Wave founder Geordie Rose, Demonstrated his company’s latest prototype on the floor of SC07 in Reno, Nevada.

Actual machine is difficult to use or handle or manage because of size, so demonstration was organized on web services. “Company is going to work on making the refrigerator a bit smaller and self contained,” Said Rose, thinking ahead to commercial deployments.

According to Rose, D-Wave’s latest invention of chip has 28 qubits (quantum bits). They will develop 512 qubits machine next year, and 1024 after that. D-wave’s quantum computer works by seeking lowest energy state given a set of inputs and constraints.

Let’s hope for the best.

a tribute to baba nagarjun


well i have nt written since a long time, but yes i am writing, baba nagarjun's poem says i am writing wat.........njoy it

जी हाँ, लिख रहा हूँ ...
बहुत कुछ ! बहोत बहोत !!
ढ़ेर ढ़ेर सा लिख रहा हूँ !
मगर , आप उसे पढ़ नहीं
पाओगे ... देख नहीं सकोगे
उसे आप !

दरअसल बात यह है कि
इन दिनों अपनी लिखावट
आप भी मैं कहॉ पढ़ पाता हूँ
नियोन-राड पर उभरती पंक्तियों की
तरह वो अगले कि क्षण
गुम हो जाती हैं
चेतना के 'की-बोर्ड' पर वो बस
दो-चार सेकेंड तक ही
टिकती है ....
कभी-कभार ही अपनी इस
लिखावट को कागज़ पर
नोट कर पता हूँ
स्पन्दनशील संवेदन की
क्षण-भंगुर लड़ियाँ
सहेजकर उन्हें और तक
पहुँचाना !

बाप रे , कितना मुश्किल है !
आप तो 'फोर-फिगर' मासिक -
वेतन वाले उच्च-अधिकारी ठहरे,
मन-ही-मन तो हसोंगे ही,
की भला यह भी कोई
काम हुआ , की अनाप-
शनाप ख़यालों की
महीन लफ्फाजी ही
करता चले कोई -
यह भी कोई काम हुआ भला !
