Kar Bhi Do Izhaar Tum Apne Pyaar Kaa
Tumhaare Dil Ki Hai Ye Manzil Mera Deewana Dil
Bolo Tum Bolo
Ho O Ho O Ho O Ho O

The girl you just called fat.. She's on diet pills.
The girl you just called ugly.. She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her.
The boy you just tripped.. He is abused enough at home.
See the man with the ugly scars.. He fought for his country.
The 14 year old girl with a kid, that you just called a slut... She got raped.
That guy you just made fun of for crying.. His mother is dying.

People have already enough sorrow to deal with,please don't give them anymore just cause you wana crack a joke!

Just try being nicer to everybody!

Life is already too hard for everyone don't make it harder for people.

What happened at Metallica bangalore

noreply@blogger.com (shashank) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:05:00 +0000

The Metallica show was awesome. It gave a lot of people what they were waiting for. It even gave some folks new iPhones, MP3 players and laptops. A day later as I write this, the band’s gone, the crowd’s gone, our belongings are gone and all that remain are some horrifying memories of a night that should have been epic.

Prologue:

Most of the tickets booked on the last few weeks never got delivered to their owners. Instead, they bounced back and each fan was forced to go the venue to collect their passes. The security was so intense at the ticket counter on the day before the event that it took me 3 long hours to get hold of my pass and the queue was all of fifty people long! We thought DNA’s certainly learnt its lesson from the Delhi debacle.

What happened before the concert:
Gates open at 4:30 P.M. letting in an ocean of 25000 fans.
Everyone is frisked at the main entrance, where fans are told that Backpacks are not allowed inside the venue. So, the folks travelling after the concert and others who’ve brought their backpacks to keep their belongings dry in the pouring rain, have no choice but to leave it at the ‘baggage counter’.
Just like the secret ingredient in Mr. Ping’s noodle soup, The ‘baggage counter’ is NOTHING! There is no baggage counter. The master plan that DNA had cooked up left us fans gaping! They are instructed to leave their bags in an open ground (completely filled with mud), stacked one over the other. Out in the rain. Nothing to keep our belongings safe from the rain OR the muck.
Left with no other option, fans decide to leave their belongings in the muck counter. Now comes the best part. DNA refuses to give tokens to the owners of the property, thereby escaping from additional responsibility and also destroying any chance of cataloging the items.
So, all in all, the counter organized for the Metallica fans was an open ground right outside the main entrance. There were no records, no tokens, no security and no protection from the rain.
And this was the infrastructure setup for fans paying 2750/- per ticket.
What happened after the concert:
Having left my backpack at the muck counter and being highly unsure about its safety, me and my friends got out early from the show. What we found at the muck counter was just an awe inspiring scene.
Bags were strewn around on the ground, trampled over by fans as well as locals.
What was happening was unclear, but after observing for a few minutes, we noticed some random men checking backpacks looking for heavy ones and waking away with them.
Worse, little kids were opening the backpacks in situ and pulling out headphones, goggles and iPods out of bags and walking away.
There was not a single cop stationed at the spot. One security guard was present, taking care of about one thousand bags and dealing with about the same number of exasperated people.
Now, the folks who went for the show and somehow managed to find their belongings probably already know this much. What happened next was something that only a few unfortunate folks had to experience.

What happened next:
Having unsuccessfully searched for our belongings for over 2 hours, about 100 fans realized that their stuff was just not there. We started looking at other possibilities.
A couple of the fans waiting suddenly saw a guy picking up two backpacks, looking around and walking away with them. They chased him, caught him and brought him to the crowd, introducing him as the solution to our problem.
Soon, angry fans spotted another guy doing the same, and caught him as well.
The two gentlemen were turned over to the cops, who started shouting and swearing to the crowd about how they should not have brought their backpacks to the venue.
The cops roughened up the suspects a bit and took them to the High Grounds police station, without a word to the stranded fans. No information was given about what was to happen to them, if a case would be registered or if our testimonies would be required.
In the meantime, another fan spots a guy sneaking into an adjacent wedding hall with a backpack. A few people follow him into the hall and find a stash of 15 empty backpacks, all meticulously cleared of their contents.
This is reported to the cops, who rush to the venue and instruct the hall personnel to lock down the hall from inside. Those of us who could understand Kannada made out the words “Your work’s done, now close the *ing door”, said by a cop to who seemed like the supervisor of the hall.
Confused fans who now see some hope, start milling up in front of the wedding hall. The next part is the one that made our night.
COPS WHIP OUT LATHI’s AND START BEATING UP THE CROWD. DOZENS OF PEOPLE INCLUDING GIRLS, ARE BEATEN UP AND CHASED OUT OF THE AREA. CHAOS FOLLOWS.
Fans run from the venue and those who tried to talk calmly to the higher ranking cops were beaten up more.
Adding insult to injury, the two suspects who were earlier taken to the police station were brought back and released right in front of the crowd. Unscathed and free to go, they go INTO the wedding hall and lock it again.
We then went to the high Grounds police station, were we were informed that a complaint could not be lodged as it was ‘late at night’. The cops stated the reason that their superior was not present, and without him, a case could not be registered.
Injury to Insult:

As the search frenzy was going on, one fan who was searching for his belongings near the main barricade suddenly started writhing in pain and spasming. It took a moment for horrified onlookers to realize what was going on. Turned out there was a live lighting wire lying on the ground, joined with electrical tape. At some point during the searching, the tape came off and the wire fell on the metal barricade. One fan who was searching for his bag stepped on the barricade and got hit by the shock. He began yelling for help. Others were shouting, "Don't touch him! You also will get a shock!". Someone with remarkable presence of mind rushed in, insulated himself on one of the wooden entrance doorways, caught the writhing fan by his collar, and pulled him away. He was lying there against a barricade, his muscles spasming involuntarily, due to the massive electric shock he had just received. He was badly shaken, but had enough sense to yell "**** the bags, guys! You wanna die?"
Fifteen minutes later, another fan touched the unattended live wire and the whole cycle repeated. It was after this, that the organizers switched off the lights to the entire area. This of course, created more panic and chaos, but surely saved some serious injuries. I want to salute the person who had the guts to actually go in and save the person putting his life on the line. Respect. You probably saved his life.

So there we were, lost in the middle of the night, a few tens of thousands rupees worth of belongings cheaper, having none to go to. DNA denied any responsibility. So did the cops. And to emphasize that point, they beat us up with lathis. Who’s going to return Anuj his laptop, external hard disk and 4 months’ worth of research notes? Who will return the couple from Malaysia their flight tickets, passports and money? What will happen to the iPods and iPhones that went missing? And what of the dozens of passports and ID cards? Frankly, we don’t know.

DNA will have to pay. So will the cops.

We will pursue the case with all we have. But well, we don’t know. Spread the word. This could have been you.

Building your own linux with Slax

noreply@blogger.com (shashank) — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 05:42:00 +0000

Linux gives it users the power no other operaring system could, now Slax takes it to the next level by giving you more power to build up your linux from the very basic.

Slax is a linux which is built by the user. Additional software can be added and removed, using Slackware packages and Slax modules. A traditional package manager such as Debian's APT is not required to load additional software.

Slax modules are completely self-contained. Users can also modify the default CD image or USB drive installation to customize the packages available in the distribution on boot. Slax also allows Slackware packages to be converted to Slax modules with the tgz2lzm command.

Like if you want to build a Slax linux which is used for wireless hacking you can make one includig all hacking tools like - Aircrack, Airsnort, madiwifi, wireshart, Kismet etc. Go here to know more.

This makes the whole size of the OS very small as only those modules are included that the user actually wants. The best part os the linux is that you can always add more to it.

A basic Slax linux image is just 200 mb. There are many already customised version available amde by various communities.

You can also go online and add modules to your selection and when done download the OS image. Isnt that just great. So go and create a linux that suits your needs coz 200MB isnt much for an amazing linux.

Boot from a USB Flash Drive in VirtualBox

noreply@blogger.com (shashank) — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 18:23:00 +0000

Storing the whole OS in a USB pendrive is very easy and saves us from creating and managing cd images. And we can carry our Linux OS with us in a USB pendrive very easily.

So if you want to boot from a USB pendrive from virtualbox or VMware on a windows machine, you can do that by the following tutorial.

1. Download and Install VirtualBox (Install to the default path).

2. Click Start > Run Type diskmgmt.msc and click Ok (In Vista/Win7 use the Start > Search Box)
(1) Locate your USB Disk #
Diskmgmt.msc

3. Open a command prompt
cmd.exe (run as admin in Vista/Win7)

4. Type cd %programfiles%\sun\virtualbox

5. Type the following (replace # with your USB Disk number from step 2)
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "%USERPROFILE%"\.VirtualBox\usb.vmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive# -register

6. Start VirtualBox (run as admin in Vista/Win7) and create a New Virtual Machine Create a New Virtual Machine

7. When prompted for a Virtual Hard Disk, tick use existing hard disk and select usb.vmdk Select Existing Virtual Disk usb.vmdk

8. Once you have finished creating your New Virtual Machine, click StartStart VirtualBox

If all goes well, VirtualBox should now be running the Linux version installed on your USB device emulated from within Windows.

Jolicloud - the cloud based Linux

noreply@blogger.com (shashank) — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 11:52:00 +0000

Cloud is the most talked about term in the tech world nowadays, so the opensource guys have released a new cloud-based Linux operating system called as JoliCloud.

It was pretty fun using the OS and it looked quite familiar to Google's Chrome OS. Jolicloud has chrome as default browser and had a lot of cloud based features.

To use Joli you need to have an account or you can even use you facebook and other accounts to login. The inerface was neat and didn't had much applications.

The first screen when you boot from the jolicloud LiveCd.

The start screen looks like this, you can directly boot from the liveCD without having to install anything.

The Login screen, you can also connect using your facebook account.

The login to JoliCloud screen when you use "Connect using facebook option".

The liat of applications already installed in the LiveCd it has Chrome browser, Google Docs but a media player is missing . You can download VLC from the appstore.

The above screen shows the AppStore for JoliCloud. As the Operating System is just launched so it has very few applications for download but we hope the Joli team would add them pretty soon or would implement some opensouce application store to be used by the Jolicloud.

The filemanager of JoliCloud, you can aslo use Box.net and other services to store your documents on the Internet.

The progile on a JoliCloud, the pics and bio were pulled from my facebook account.

The shutdown screen.

Cloud-computing has been hyped a lot but I personally don't like the concept of a cloud-based OS as if there's some problem with the internet i won't be able to access my own system even though if i just want to listen to some music or something else as all my data would be store on cloud and to access that i would need internet.
I am in favor of cloud services such as cloud gaming and other services, but lets see what cloud computing becomes. The real fate of cloub based OS would be determined when Google's deeloped Chrom Operating System is released next year.

search using image

noreply@blogger.com (shashank) — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 10:32:00 +0000

We have always used text to search for content even though when we needed to search an image. we at shankee just wanted to find if their is any way to find if we can do the exact opposite and surprisingly we landed on TinEye that lets users seach using an image.

TinEye is an awesome site that lets you search for a specific image. The homepage asks you to either upload an image or provide the link for the image.

56 million new images have been added to TinEye, bringing thier image database count up to
1,719,139,600.

What can you use the application for?

Tineye is a search engine like no other, rather than searching for words it is an image search engine. Although the concept is nothing new and Google has offered image search for a long time, this one works completely differently. It’s a unique image search engine that searches for images rather than their descriptions. It’s simple to use, you can upload or link to an image on the internet and then search and this will then scour the internet to find the same image. It works very well and will even locate images that have been rotated, altered or cropped. It will even pick up images which have been heavily edited which is a very impressive feat. Tineye is a unique search engine that isn’t just useful but it’s also great fun to play around with.

What is the history and popularity of the application?

TinEye was produced by Idée and launched in May 2008. Idée are also well known for making Idée PixID, and Piximilar both of which are similar ideas to tineye. Most image search engines work by searching for keywords or metadata, this is the first search engine released that searches using image recognition technology.

What are the differences to other applications?

This application is unique because instead of searching for keywords and Meta description information it works by comparing the images using sophisticated image recognition software. This is revolutionary and very impressive.

How does the application look and feel to use?

The application looks very similar to most search engines, however instead of typing in search terms you can either enter a URL of an image or upload one. This doesn’t take long to do; the maximum image size for an upload is 1MB. Once you have either pasted in the URL or uploaded the image then clicking the search button will almost instantly load your results, it’s amazing how quick it really is.

How does the registration process work?

You can use tineye without registering and it can be used exactly like any other search engine, just for images. However if you want to register then it’s free and offers a number of benefits. You will be allowed to try out new and exciting features before everyone else, you will be able to bookmark your search results, you can save searches in your history, and you can also sign up to the newsletter. To register you need to visit the registration page and fill out the form. You will then be sent an email that you need to confirm by clicking on the link.

What does it cost to use the application?

TinEye is currently free to use, adverts appear on the homepage. Bearing in mind the site is still in beta it’s very likely that they will start charging or implement more advertising in the near future. This would be a useful tool to find out if people are using your images without permission, and people would probably pay for it. There is currently a link for advertisers wanting to advertise on the site.

Who would you recommend the application to?

Tineye is a revolutionary search engine that can be used to find images on the internet, rather than searching for descriptions or keywords this compares images using sophisticated technology. It’s ideal for anyone wanting to find out where an image originally comes from, or to make sure that nobody copies images without your permission.

Features

Search for images similar to the one you upload
Revolutionary image recognition software
Quick search results
Finds images that have been cropped edited or rotated.

Google will drive your car in future

noreply@blogger.com (shashank) — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 18:08:00 +0000

Google is famous for doing things others never dreamed about. The latest technology that is the outcome of Google's research is the automatic car driving software. This technology emphasizes upon car safety and efficiency.

Larry and Sergey founded Google because they wanted to help solve really big problems using technology.The goal is to help prevent traffic accidents, free up people’s time and reduce carbon emissions by fundamentally changing car use.

So Google developed technology for cars that can drive themselves.Google has made automatic cars that drove well on real world roads. As reported the self-driving cars have logged over 140,000 miles.

The automatic cars use video cameras, radar sensors and a laser range finder to “see” other traffic, as well as detailed maps (which we collect using manually driven vehicles) to navigate the road ahead. This is all made possible by Google’s data centers, which can process the enormous amounts of information gathered by our cars when mapping their terrain.

Google hired engineers from DARPA Challenges, a series of autonomous vehicle races organized by the U.S. Government. Chris Urmson was the technical team leader of the CMU team that won the 2007 Urban Challenge. Mike Montemerlo was the software lead for the Stanford team that won the 2005 Grand Challenge. Also on the team is Anthony Levandowski, who built the world’s first autonomous motorcycle that participated in a DARPA Grand Challenge, and who also built a modified Prius that delivered pizza without a person inside. The work of these and other engineers on the team is on display in the National Museum of American History.

We believe this is a great step at automating our daily chores doing which we waste our time which could be used elsewhere. The tech fulfills the basic criteria for any innovation and that is easing human life.
