Wine, Water and Beer

Wine, Water and Beer

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine... and those who don't...

In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) ¡V bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of crap.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service

The Art of Looking

The Art of Looking

By Mitesh   17:51   No comments:

Look clearly at life and not just your own,
how much is reality, and how much is unknown.
It's not measured in beauty, possessions or wealth,
but measured in consciousness and judged by yourself.

Do you wonder if this is your chance,
to examine the future and all that might last?
Material things just gather the dust,
whereas thought becomes life force and this is the thrust.

A look in the mirror at the start of each day,
a vision of emptiness ...but a nice résumé.
It's all in the cards ~ but its not yet a deck.
sit back and slow down, take the time to reflect.

Look clearly at life and into your own,
understanding the choices that cannot be postponed.

Google Mobile Phones Coming (G Phone)

Google Mobile Phones Coming (G Phone)

By Mitesh   09:28   No comments:

Google has been lobbying the U।S. government for changes in wireless policy. While it did not achieve as much as it wanted in the planning for the upcoming 700 Mhz spectrum auction in January, it did push for the fact that consumers in the U.S. can buy any phone and use it on any carrier in the future. Meaning, that when the Gphone does drop, most likely you’ll be albe to use it on any carrier you please. The Googlephone will most likely be 3G as well, which means video conferencing, yea you can’t do that with the iPhone. For you iPhones users though, would this be enough to make you switch?

The Observer of London is reporting that Google might be working with HTC and mobile/telecom giant Orange to build a Google Mobile Phone, which could possibly have Google software inside the device, and would be able to do many of the web tasks smartly. The device, article speculates, could go on sale in 2008. (Of course, we would all have forgotten by then… if it doesn’t happen.) Orange and Google, both declined to comment.

Their plans centre on a branded Google phone, which would probably also carry Orange’s logo। The device would not be revolutionary: manufactured by HTC, a Taiwanese firm specialising in smart phones and Personal Data Assistants (PDAs), it might have a screen similar to a video iPod. But it would have built-in Google software which would dramatically improve on the slow and cumbersome experience of surfing the web from a mobile handset.

Tears

Tears

By Mitesh   08:48   No comments:

Tears of joy and tears of grief

Tears of sadness and relief
Tears for every high and low
Tears that let our feelings show
Private tears and tears we share
Tears that let us know we care
Tears shed with friends in sympathy
The tears we shed in symphony

Tears at weddings births and wakes
Whatever kind of tears it takes
Happy tears and tears of pain
And sometimes tears we can't explain
To ease our hearts God gave us tears
To ease our minds to ease our fears
Tears of loss and tears of hope
God gave us tears to help us cope

Beware the man who will not cry
For he his feelings would deny
The tears we cry show our devotion
So cry your tears to fill an ocean.

Google and Microsoft Face Off

Google and Microsoft Face Off

By Mitesh   11:08   No comments:

While it's heating up outside across North America, it seems there's nothing hotter than the battle being waged between Google and Microsoft.

In recent weeks, months, and in some respects years, both companies have been forced to defend themselves for their impressive places within the search and software spheres. Now the two are at each other's throats, with Google alleging that Microsoft's Windows Vista is hurting competition and should be adjusted for antitrust purposes. (Source: washingtonpost.com )

So, what's got Google so hot under the collar?

Google is upset over the way Vista runs external desktop programs. The case is similar to the one that emerged in the 1990s between Microsoft and Netscape, once a browser titan (now reduced to the recycle bin by Internet Explorer).

Microsoft trounced Netscape's case in the '90s, and critics believe they'll defeat Google here, too. Software expert Rob Helm argues "Microsoft beat Netscape in part by leveraging its relationship with PC manufacturers...This is a lot subtler." (Source: pcworld.com )

Indeed, Vista doesn't prevent Google Desktop from running, the latter just doesn't run particularly well on the new operating system (OS). That's because most of the built-in search engines (Start Menu, Windows Explorer, etc) are proprietary, and installing secondary software slows down an already demanding OS.

Although Microsoft's policy on this one is expectedly sneaky, it's hardly criminal. Most experts, including Helm, believe Google will fail if it pursues the matter deep into U.S. courts.

In all likelihood, it's the pot calling the kettle black. "Even if Microsoft's software was perfectly written, the way Google interacts with it might be bad, and either company might be at fault," said Helm.

"There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not bridge, no wall that enough love will not throw down, no sin that enough love will not redeem... It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough, you could be the happiest and most powerful being in the world... "

Remembering 7/11.......

Remembering 7/11.......

Homage to the victims of Mumbai Train blast.

Remembering the restless souls of 7/11 Mumbai Serial Train Blasts. It took away 209 life's and left over 700 injured.

Who is responsible for that, what is the reason behind such an act, we are yet to find an answer to those activities. The show must go on, so every thing come to normal very next day and Mumbai has again started running as before, as if nothing has ever happened.

But to day being the first anniversary of 7/11 serial train bomb blasts, we can pay a homage to those restless souls, at least by remembering those events...

Seven blasts in 11 minutes in peak hour on suburban trains on the Western Line. Mahim, Bandra, Matunga, Borivili, Mira Road, Jogeshwari and Khar. Toll: 187 killed, over 750 injured. They came as a massive jolt to our sense of security and to the Indo-Pak peace process. Life came to a grinding halt, but, typically, people were back on their routine by next morning.

A Homage to the 7/11 blast victims, remembering those lives, A Tribute to those restless souls, may god rest their souls in peace, bring cheer
