There's been a lot of interest in finding the first [American] company to reach the valuation of $1 trillion (13 figures). However, the race, at the moment, is between Apple Inc. and Google Inc. considering the fact that these companies have shown a lot of zeal and determination to reach the 13-figure mark. Apple [Computer] Inc. currently has a valuation of $598.73 billion while Google

Happiness, they say, is not found somewhere away. Happiness resides right within us. However, it becomes really sad to know that most people are not happy themselves, or can't find this thing called happiness in any way around them, less to talk of extending happiness to others. So, what is the key to happiness in life? Is this feeling we get when we achieve the success we desire? Or, is it

Android, the Google company that has revived the smartphone industry with an easy-to-use or user-friendly interface and a platform for millions of mobile apps has unofficially announced the release of their latest version. Like always, Android has quite some amusing and "tech-unfriendly" version names. So guess what this version will be called: Lollipop! Though not officially released, it was

Today is the birthday of the world's oldest living person, Misao Okawa from Japan. Today, she marked her 117th birthday (March 5, 1898 - March 5, 2015). That means, as far is history and the Guinness World Records are concerned, there is no one living now that is as old as she is. Irrespective of the fact that a few of her "5 senses" are getting less active with time due to old age, she

Samsung, the electronic devices giant, just made announcements of their latest smartphone; the Samsung Galaxy S6. The phone (undoubtedly) simulates the iPhone from their "rival" company Apple quite a lot with a number of features. The first and foremost feature is its glass screen and "curvy" look. See the video below for more information.

One evening, a policeman  saw a man busily tossing his hands and fingers in the bushes just under a street light. Amazed by what this man was doing, the policeman pulled over, parked the police patrol car and got out of the car marching towards this man. "Hey, what is going on? Is everything okay?", the policeman asked the man who seemed to have had enough to drink and probably lost

So, if you're like me, perhaps, we have one thing in common: racing, especially car racing. But have you thought of having a race in which all the cars involved were totally "driver-less"? What about having a car that could drive itself? Sounds interesting, right? Well, sit back and relax! I have some news for you. Just this morning, the first ever "driver-less" car racing competition is

According to WHO, a total of 4,493 people have died (so far) from the world's worst Ebola outbreak on record. This is the highest so far in the history of the virus. That may be very serious but what is overwhelmingly serious is that about half of that figure are cases only in Liberia. What?? So I begun to ask myself why that should be the case. Just as I was probing, something came up: the

Most of the offenders are drivers who do not simply obey road safety measures.Since almost all the punishments meted out did not seem to yield any good result, authorities were forced to sue their "last resort"; to make offenders work as traffic police!That is to say, instead of the usual
