Gooooooooooogle (contd.)

Here's another interesting article.....

About: Google's proposed dominance in e-marketplace (circa 2009)

Go rack your brains..... Let them loose..... Think of all the varied possibilities that technology can take you ! ( craziness being just one of them...)

Gooooooooooogle

An interesting forward that I came accross.

For time-pass, try this link. And find the different Google logos from 1999 – 2005. Some are too good, though repeated over the years.

And guys, how far do you trust Google Translation Service ?? :-)

Step 1: Go to http://www.google.com.my/language_tools?hl=en

Step 2: Enter the following line into the translate textbox:

Aishwarya's grand mom is nice and cool

Step 3: Translate from english to spanish.

Step 4: Copy the translated text, and translate it back from Spanish to English.

Assorted fact:

When Google was a Stanford research project, it was nicknamed BackRub because the technology checks backlinks to determine a site's importance

What's in a name?


After having decided to put up a blog (and put an end to the misery of answering difficult questions as - "You like writing na? Why the hell you don't have a blog?") I've finally managed to post my happenings (and non-happenings) on this online medium which can reach accross to ... well, millions! (sigh... only if me were so famous)

To start of with, a very intimidating task was to come to an appropriate name for this creation of mine... Thank God it's not like naming your baby - where you can do it only ONCE! Here I have the privileges bestowed upon me to change the title as and when wanted.

But the question remains: "Why 'Comfortably Numb'? Of course its a tribute to probably the greatest band to happen to the planet, PINK FLOYD !!






Vaise, in Engg (and also in MBA) there was this saying goin on: To answer a question (posted by a frustated student) as: "How the hell did we manage to get into such a course?"
The befitting statement was: "Oh, it was a Momentary Lapse of Reason.... but now we are Comfortably Numb...." :-)

Floyd's great hits were just apt to describe our sorry state of affairs.... but hey, no one was complaining!





Well, could go on and on about Floyd but this post was not exactly meant for this sublime purpose. The purpose of this post is to give a start to my blogging habits, coin an apt title for my publishings (which's already been done) and to... well, put me in the 'elite' list of Bloggers....


Mantra for the next many sessions: "Write here, write now"
