Google + project announced

 

Google introduced Google+ social network for what it called 'real-life sharing.' The UI might look cooler (it does) but this won’t necessarily make it more attractive for social interaction. Drag-and-drop is grossly overrated as a UI interaction metaphor – many regular users have never used drag&drop. What is good about Facebook is that it “just works” without any setup effort. You see a continuous stream of thoughts from your friends, with no interactions from you, other than an occasional “confirm friend” or “add friend”. Plus, non-shy people can also post a link/text once in a while, whenever they feel like it. I don’t see that in Google+

Skype & Microsoft

 

Microsoft has bought Skype for an imaginable amount, Skype has been sold with $8.5 Billion. It's not about Skype's current profit, but about how it can be combined with other things that Microsoft is doing. The three things that Microsoft might do with Skype is…

 

• Integrating Skype with XBOX and Kinect.
• Support Windows phone and wide variety of windows devices.
• Using skype to connect Lync users, outlook, xbox live, messenger and other workplace communications.

 

Lets hope it will be win-win situation for both the companies.

LokPal Bill

The JanLok Pal bill is meant to be some sort of nuclear weapon against corruption in politics and high end government offices. India suffering from Serious Cancer called Corruption. Therefore Anna Hazare fights against Corruption with his hunger strike.

 

 

And guess what , Government responds in this manner..

 

Sharad Pawar is leading the group of ministers formed to look into the changes in the Lokpal Bill.

Sharad Pawar as leader of GoM is like student writing his own question papers. That’s your April fool joke. If you still didn’t get it, its like making sreesanth the instructor for anger management or you could say munaf patel teaching sachin tendulkar how to bat. Well jokes part Support Sri Anna Hazare's movement.

 

Why LokPal bill is opposed http://goo.gl/edK7U; and why JanLokPal bill is important http://goo.gl/B150L. Lokpal bill (corrected as Jan Lokpal with improvements) is campaigned not only by Anna Hazare , but several others like Kiran bedi. Anna Hazare has been a freedom fighter and a social activist fighting against corruption for more years than our age! He is also credited with the creator of an Ideal Village (Adarsh Gaon - self-sufficient) in Maharashtra (Ralegan Sidhi). He is a well-known name in Maharashtra and has been instrumental in many developments in Maharashtra while making the Maharashtra government to bow to his satyagrahas and fasts! He has been splendid in riding the anti-corruption wave and rallying people these last few days.

 

In an open letter, Hazare politely asks Singh and co. to stop spreading FUD and reiterates what People Against Corruption really wants. I liked the way he phrased his letter not only by just being polite at the same time with an uncompromising tone.

The Toss

 

Am I the only one who could hear sangakkara calling tails at 35th second of the video. Oh! Sanga I thought you are a clean cricketer.The cheat is upto it again. He called tails for the first toss and heads for the re-toss. I sympthasize with you sangakkara. I thought you are a ethical cricketer. We know toss plays a vital role in subcontinent for sub continent teams but cricket is after all a gentle man’s game.
