When Mr. Raja Ramanna came to IIT Madras to give a lecture after the Nuclear plant at Kalpakkam was setup, he was bombarded with the safety concerns as Madras is just 80 Kms from Kalpakkam. The only answer he gave was, “Chernobyl cannot happen in India because our engineering not as inquisitive as the Russian ones”. Expectedly he was booed for this response of his. Well the Chernobyl accident occurred because engineers trying to test safety of the plant committed a big blunder. Due to a faulty program the power generation fell to 1% of 35000 MW, electric (the normal output). They were so scared that they immediately restarted the plant but in the process the remnant radioactive product increased the heat generation. They tried to control it by reinserting the control rods but it broke.

I am totally nuts when it comes to operating systems. I have laid my hands on Windows xp and vista (I will shortly write about setting up vista on Lenovo N series laptops). I have tried a myriad of Linux distributions like SuSe, Mandriva, Fedora and Ubuntu. But I so desperately waiting for a Google OS.
I found this article

Rumours are that google would soon integrate its Google Talk instant messaging and VOIP service into Orkut. Apparently, google talk and Orkut development teams are busy putting the finishing touches on the integration. The announcement will likely be made sometime next week.
This would mean orkut members will be able to text message and voice chat with other members of the community if they choose to communicate in that way and not scrap each other. In other words, this means that orkuters would no longer have to keep asking each other in scraps for IM ids to make their conversations private and one to one.

So my dear old mobile celebrates his anniversary today 
perhaps the only mobile to do so in 5 years! I had Nokia 3510, then 2 shady Reliance handsets, one samsung v200, Nokia 6600 and the present one Sony Ericsson k750i. This SE has an awesome camera. But there are drawbacks of this handsets. I am not exactly impressed with it because I had problems with it. The joy stick stopped functioning within 5 months of purchase. I got it repaired and now the camera button is malfunctioning. And plus SE service is pathetic. I had to take this phone all the way to Nungampakkam service station because the local sellers refused to take it. Nokia service was awesome. You can easily drop to any of their shops and get it repaired, even thought you have lost the original bill. I had to submit a lot of documents for SE. But the camera is without doubt the best available in market. The new version of SE K900i has a 3.2 megapixel camera. But the video capture resolution still remains at 170×90 
Nokia scores over SE in this field….all the latest models of Nokia have decent video cameras with N93 having a mind boggling DVD quality video capture resolution. Here is a brief comparison
