Engineering Vs Management

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am." The man below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude." "You must be an engineer," said the balloonist." I am", replied the man. "How did you know?" Well, answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything you've delayed my trip even more." The man below responded, "You must be in management." "I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," said the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems."

First-borns have higher IQ scores

noreply@blogger.com (bhim karki) — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 04:45:08 PDT

A Norwegian team found first born children and those who had lost elder siblings and had hence become the eldest, scored higher on intelligence. The link, reported in Science, was found by looking at more than 250,000 male Norwegian conscripts. Experts have disagreed for decades about how birth order might influence intellect and achievement.

Supporters of the theory argue the eldest child gets more undivided attention from their parents from an early age.Others claim differences occur in the womb before birth because with each subsequent pregnancy the mother produces higher levels of antibodies that may attack the foetal brain.While others claim the relationship between birth order and intelligence is false, being biased by family size - historically, couples with lower IQs have tended to have more children than couples with higher IQs.

For example, men who were third born but who then lost an elder sibling in early childhood and so were raised as the second born had IQ scores close to those of "genuine" second-borns.

***Only 1% of the music on iPods is filled with songs downloaded from iTunes.
On average, only 24 songs on each iPod are paid for directly. The rest are either illegally downloaded or ripped from CDs.

***Apple sold 14 million iPods in the fourth quarter of 2005 - the equivalent of more than 100 iPods a minute for 3 months straight, day and night!
In all, Apple has sold 42 million iPods to date. And Apple's stock has more than doubled in the past 6 months!

***For the first time since 1996, TV sales in 2006 outpaced PC sales, according to the Consumer Electronics Association.
TV revenues generated $20 billion in sales, whereas PC revenue generated $19 billion in 2006. The main reason for this shift is the emergence of HDTV.

***Matthew Nagle can control his TV and computer just by thinking!
After a knife attack in 2001, Matthew became paralyzed from the neck down. However, he received a brain implant consisting of 100 electrodes implanted a millimeter deep in the motor cortex of his brain that controls movement.
Now, he can think his TV on and off, change channels and alter the volume thanks to the technology and software linked to devices in his home.

***Merriam-Webster lists "google" as a transitive verb meaning "to use the Google search engine to obtain information about (as a person) on the World Wide Web."

First Apple iPhone "THE GOD-MACHINE"

noreply@blogger.com (bhim karki) — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 04:51:30 PDT

It has been almost six months since Mr. Jobs, the world’s consummate salesman, introduced the iPhone as the Ronco Veg-O-Matic for the Internet era. Tongue only partly in cheek, Mr. Jobs promised that Apple’s entry into the cellular handset market would be a better phone, Web browser and music player.
Mr. Jobs succeeded in building expectations for what some have called “the God machine.” The bar-of-soap-size phone is being coveted as a talisman for a digital age, and iPhone hysteria is beginning to reach levels usually reserved for video-game machines at Christmas.
Although the phones are expected to cost as much as $600 when they go on sale at Apple and AT&T stores later this month, each company has received more than a million inquiries about the product's availability. Apple disclosed in television commercials Sunday night that the phone would be released June 29.

Dell + Microsoft + Novell = Linux?

noreply@blogger.com (bhim karki) — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 04:35:23 PDT

A new twist in the advancement of Linux on the desktop: An oddball pact among Dell, Microsoft, and Novell is going to work to make Linux more viable on the desktop, according to Business week. Microsoft and Novell joined forces, sort of, late last year. And now, customers really seem to be signing up.
The whole affair is rather convoluted: Microsoft will license Windows alongside Novell's Linux platform, and Dell is buying both from Microsoft. The goal doesn't seem to be to move people off of Windows, really, but to get users of other Linux systems to move to the Novell system. Meanwhile, Microsoft has pledged not to sue Novell over patents, something CEO Steve Ballmer never shuts up about.
Rest assured this doesn't mean Microsoft is selling Linux for Dell to install on desktop PCs. That news, about Dell installing Ubuntu on select desktop models, is completely separate and unrelated to this pact. Rather, the Microsoft-Novell deal is all about server OSes which Dell will in turn install on servers it sells.
All of this is a long way of saying that Linux is really on the rise in both the server and desktop universe. But so far, Dell seems to be the only company really embracing the movement. Who will be next to jump into the open source pool?

U.S. cars produce half of world's CO2

noreply@blogger.com (bhim karki) — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 02:42:36 PDT

Americans represent 5 per cent of the world's population but drive almost a third of its cars, which in turn account for nearly half the carbon dioxide pumped out of exhaust pipes into the atmosphere each year, according to a report. U.S. cars play a disproportionate role in global warming because they are less fuel efficient than passenger vehicles used elsewhere in the world, emitting 15 per cent more carbon dioxide, and because they are driven further across wide open spaces.
Americans drive 202 million passenger vehicles out of 683 million worldwide. The average U.S. passenger vehicle, with a fuel economy of less than 32kpg, travels 17,700 km a year, nearly a third more than cars elsewhere, according to the s report, Global Warming on the Road. With suburban sprawl far outpacing the growth of public transport networks, Americans are commuting more each year, shopping more, and driving further to the shops each time.
The boom in sports utility vehicles (SUVs) has peaked as a result of soaring fuel prices, but overall U.S. fuel consumption will continue to rise in the next few years, the study found.
More SUVs are sold in the U.S. than any other type of car, overtaking small cars in 2002. The report predicted that they ``soon will be the main source of automotive CO2 emissions,'' emitting the equivalent of 55 large coal-fired power plants.

Toxic Toothpaste Made in China Is Found in U.S

noreply@blogger.com (bhim karki) — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 02:16:58 PDT

The Food and Drug Administration confiscated tubes of tainted Chinese-made toothpaste on Friday at a Dollar Plus store in Miami.Consumers were advised yesterday to discard all toothpaste made in China after federal health officials said they found Chinese-made toothpaste containing a poison used in some antifreeze in three locations: Miami, the Port of Los Angeles and Puerto Rico.

Although there are no reports of anyone being harmed by the toothpaste, the Food and Drug Administration warned that the Chinese products had a “low but meaningful risk of toxicity and injury” to children and people with kidney or liver disease.

The United States is the seventh country to find tainted Chinese toothpaste within its borders in recent weeks.

SOMETHING IS ON THE EDGE

LENGTH OF FINGER PREDICTS SCORE

noreply@blogger.com (bhim karki) — Thu, 31 May 2007 02:19:03 PDT

Measurements of children’s finger lengths appear to predict their scores on math and literacy tests, researchers have found.

The study might raise anew the controversial issue of whether boys and girls have different innate abilities, scientists said. This is because finger length is proposed to be related to differences in hormones responsible for developmental differences in boys and girls.In a study to appear in the British Journal of Psychology, researchers compared the finger lengths of 75 seven-year-old children with standardized test scores. They found what they called a clear link between math and literacy performance and the relative lengths of their index and ring fingers.

The researchers said the link is thought to stem from different levels of the hormones testosterone and oestrogen in the womb. Testosterone is believed to promote development of brain areas “often associated with spatial and mathematical skills,” while oestrogen may do the same for verbal ability, said study leader Mark Brosnan, head of the University of Bath, U.K. psychology department.

“Interestingly, these hormones are also thought have a say in the relative lengths of our index and ring fingers. We can use measurements of these fingers as a way of gauging the relative exposure to these two hormones in the womb.” Testosterone and oestrogen are also responsible for the development of male and female sexual characteristics, respectively.The researchers measured children’s fingers and divided the length of the index finger by that of the ring finger. The investigators found that a smaller ratio—that is, a longer ring finger with respect to index finger—was linked to better scores in math compared to literacy. This finger configuration also signals greater prenatal testosterone exposure, they said.

Scientists asked to comment on the finger-length study last week didn’t dispute that it might provide evidence bearing on the debate. But they urged caution in interpreting the findings. Some noted that finger-length is only an indirect indicator of prenatal hormone exposure. Finger ratio is just a “proxy” for hormone exposure, which can also be measured directly in the amniotic fluid where the fetus floats, noted Simon Baron-Cohen of Oxford University, U.K., who has extensively studied male-female brain differences

China aims for the moon this year

noreply@blogger.com (bhim karki) — Fri, 25 May 2007 02:28:29 PDT

China plans to launch a lunar orbiter in the second half of 2007, in a first step towards a lunar probe, Xinhua news agency quoted the director of the National Space Administration as saying on Sunday.

If the Chang'e I orbiter succeeds in orbiting the moon, the next step would be an attempt to land. Ultimately a moon rover would collect samples before returning to earth, Sun Laiyan said in a speech at Beijing Jiaotong University.

The moon probe project is the third milestone in China's space technology after satellite and manned spacecraft projects, and a first step for us in exploring deep space.

Plans for a lunar orbiter launch in 2007 were included in China's white paper on its space program, unveiled last year.

The moon rover mission would be due in 2012, Xinhua said, citing unidentified earlier reports.

In 2003, China became only the third country -- after the United States and the former Soviet Union -- to launch a man into space aboard its own rocket. In October 2005, it sent two men into orbit and plans a space walk by 2008.

China will continue manned space missions, and would attempt the spacewalk and docking vessels in space, Sun said.

China's space capability aroused international concern in January when it destroyed one of its ageing satellites by launching a missile from Earth.

Useful Alt+Tab Replacement Power Toy

noreply@blogger.com (bhim karki) — Thu, 17 May 2007 23:21:38 PDT

For those of you who use the Alt+Tab key combination to switch between open windows on your desktop, I am sure you have encountered times when you cannot distinguish one window from the other due to having more than one instance of the same program open.
Microsoft became aware of this draw-back after releasing the XP operating system and subsequently released a "Power Toy" to resolve this issue. The Power Toy resolves this issue by replacing the program icons with actual screenshots of your open windows. This way you can locate exactly which window you wish to switch to, which is immensely useful when navigating between several SAP windows at one time.
Here are pictures of using the Alt+Tab key combination both pre- and post- installation of the Power Toy:

As you can see in the first example above, it is impossible to differentiate between the IE instances and the SAP instances by looking at the icons. In the subsequent example, the screenshot clearly differentiates the windows.

Here are the instructions to install:

PFA the setup

-Copy URL to browser: http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TaskswitchPowertoySetup.exe
-Choose "Run" from pop-up dialog box
-Choose "Run" a second time, this will kick-off the installation of the Power Toy
-Once you get the "Installation Complete" dialog, the toy is successfully installed. No need to reboot your PC.
