TED stands for Technology, Entertainment & Design (think of it like a group of guys with great innovative brains coming together to demo their inventions). If you have seen Mission Impossible and Minority Report then you will easily relate this gadget to those. If you thought iPhone was so cool, just wait to see this video. Pranav is a PhD student in MIT, Mass. Let this gadget come to

We all know that the current situation in US was caused by failing mortgage payers and sub-prime mortgage crisis, but how did this all happen, this is explained so clearly in this video. Houses were considered as an assets whose value would never decrease but that myth has been busted but how did this all happen? Spend few minutes to see this video and you will understand the root causes…..

This is a great episode not to miss for sure. He is so cool inspite of all the pressure.He is in such a great position that every word he utters is being watched closely by everyone. In the video he made a mistake (ofcourse jokingly) saying his bowling skills are like special olympics, which has offended many physically challenged folks, and even before the show got aired on the TV he sent a

Well it has been a long time and time to get back to blogging. So let me start with a nice joke. I read this somewhere on the net (no offence to any country, just smile and your day will be good).Joke (Bush & Queen Elizabeth)Heathrow Airport in England, a 300-foot red carpet was stretched out to Air Force One and President Bush strode to a warm but dignified handshake from Queen Elizabeth II.

I am a very big fan of google docs & spreadsheets and use them daily for personal use. I read few days ago that google has acquired Zenter a company which provided online web based presentation (or slideshow) creation (something like microsoft powerpoint).This was the only missing piece in google office since documents and spreadsheets were already available.Google is growing based on

All the tax payer bills are going down the drain. I could not believe my ears when i heard this in today's news. The state had nearly approved an estimate of $800,000 to fix a pot hole near a manhole near interstate 95 along hampton (when you drive to the hampton beach right in front of the liquor shop across the NH-MA border).Here is the breakdown of the estimate,$16,000 to pay to the state

I was eagerly waiting for the movie "Hot Fuzz", after reading the google reviews and seeing that it has an average rating of 4.3/5 (based on 22 reviews), i thought this action comedy would be very good and would make me laugh like "Borat" but i had to literally cry for every comedy scene from the movie. (Atleast vijaykanth action movies we laugh but this one no action no comedy).I dont know why
