Rise of the Titans

Hello every one, there are some events in the world that goes unnoticed. We need to be extremely careful in such situations and must always be alert to look out for the signs. This is exactly what Microsoft is doing right now ?? Well why am I talking crap here? Now coming to the point.

The story unfolds like this.
Time : Morn. Location : SantaClara Valley.

Senior Technical Manager: ...."But that is my decision.."

Steve Balmer: " I can offer a better compensation package than them ".

Senior Technical Manager: " .....The decision is entirely based upon the career prospects andjob enrichment "

Steve Balmer: (Angry) "...I have done this before.I will kill them.I will do it once again.............."(Throws a steel chair at the STM)

Six Months Later

Location : SC valley.

The court verdict : Its up to kai Fuu Lee to decide whther he wants to remain in Microsoft or not.But the joining date for the new job has to be postponed by atleast another six months.


Hey friends we are not reading a novel wake up! So what was the reason for the above two cases .The answer is simple six letter word which is soon going to shake the world and Microsoft out of its top positon.You must have got that by now.Yes its- "google".There is a tremendous attrition rate among the Microsoft employees and where do these people join??The answer is google.With its founders into top 20 places in the forbes 100 and the company increasing its fortunes seven folds every thing is possible for google. Microsoft has prepared the threat list for the year and who stands on top no doubts its -google again.

So what made google so famous.Every body think that google is just a search engine and nothing has come off from google labs except the famous page-rank algorithm. That is an absolute wrong misconception .The headlines every where today is "Abdul Kalam Opposes Google ?" .But why?the reason being their new satellite imaging software called the google earth.Which gives out an almost picture perfect view off the landmarks from the space.The reward which they got from the Indian President - "The Tool Which would help the Terrorists".Moving on to the mergers that they have made it seems that google is soon set to be the king of the net world with the wide variety of products ranging from google maps,google earth,gogle print,google blogger,picasa,flickr,google adds,google talk.........




Again this was what exactly predicted in the Microsoft's Think tank Ten years Ago when one of the executives said that " Microsoft cannot enjoy the leadership by just suppliying the desktops ".Microsoft needs to be there on the net too.But Steve Balmer ignored that and did get a short term success by ignoring the reality.At that time the only threat that Microsoft ever faced was from Netscape which was ultimately bought down by Microsoft.So Microsoft enjoyed the leadership for 10 years and now the same nightmare had started haunting Microsoft in the form of Google.But this time its too stronger for Microsoft and certain reliable sources say that google is bulding a linux supercomputer with which you can boot the system thru phone and internet,So why do you need an operating system installed on your hard drive when its available at the time of booting from the net.If this is going to happen then why do you need an expensive O.S. ????? So its crunch time for Microsoft , Other wise " DAVID IS GOING TO SLAY THE GOLIATH AGAIN !!!!!!"

Dada 's Dadagiri

Hello Friends I am really worried about this man captaining India in the future.After an open rift with Indian coach ,Ganguly did make an eventful century against an unknown oppositon.But my gut feeling says that he would take India to dogs if he is allowed to captain the team in the future.After reading the six page e-mail by Greg every bit of what the coach said seemed true.I did expect shutters down for the poor fellow ,but he escaped. This shows that BCCI is not in complete control of the situation at all ,right from the mumbai press conference to settling the rift between the coach and the captain ( where a magical comprise was deviced to fool the public ! ).Let's atleast pray that India doesn' get relegated to the level of underdogs!!!!!.

THE NEXT BIG THING

I think probably after the introduction of the Walk man the most popular thing that has captured the imagination of the man kind is the new cool creepy little thingy called the ipod.Suddenly every soul on this God's green earth wants to own an ipod.Well to tell you the truth the ipod is an excellent mixture of creative engineering combined with its simple to use "turn disc" . And you can Always expect that from the master of his trade "STEPHEN JOBS".Steve jobs has always been a creator ,that too delivering insanely great products with "out of the box" imagination at an affordable price.Finally to give a twist in the tale he now has a leadership in tune download that makes him doubly dangerous and what more can we expect from this balding CEO of the apple corp.The ipod has already the next big thing beating the rest of the competition by head and shoulders.So Watch out and grab your latest ipod nano to keep u rocking for 10 hours non stop!!!!!!!!!

Roger Federer " The Phenom "

The man is really unbelievable.Absolutely composed and cool in each and every match that he plays.To tell you all frankly the man is playing in his own league and there is no competition for him at all. If at all he loses,it is not because of the opponent ,Its because federer wasn't up to the mark.It's thoroughly humilating for any player to lose to an opponent for 7 and 9 succesive times.It is the situation with A-Rod & Leyton Hewitt.It shows the ruthlessness of the man.Many persons say that Tiger woods , Micheal Schumacher, Micheal Jordan and the Australian Team are Phenoms in their own Field. But its really amazing to see a person like federer who comes back at the opponent every time and thrahes him.Continue the great Work!!!!!

Finally "The Day" has come.

I am looking forward for tommorow very eagerly.Because tommorow is the day when I am going to join one of the major software companies in Chennai. Actually my parents were really eager and enthusiastic abt the job.I have been appointed as the application program developer trainee. Many of my friends say that I would be trained in the Mainframe Technology.O.K. Every thing said and done , a lot of preparation need to be done as I ' ve been asked to report with all the documents. So I need to take lots of Photo copies.And I am hoping that every thing wud work out perfectly with God 's Grace.

Windows 98 is a big pain in the ***

Enough is enough. I had lots of trouble after installing the win98.The reason every one tells is that "dude you use the internet on 98 and that 's the reason.....".come on cut the crap.
Well every second month i am afraid that my windows would crash again.Recently my system crashed and I can explain you all that ive did and you cud just figure out how fragile the windows 98 is.Forunately i have dual boot and have not experienced a single crash in the winxp.(probably im not using that os as exensively as the 98).i just installed the BLC ( brian lara cricket - 05 - which was a demo version any way).and i chose not to restart the system and then as usual i uninstalled few other unwanted softwares from my p.c. after which my sister played some songs on the wmp.(windows media player).I turned off the monitor.I was browsing the digit mag and my sister who wntd to study turned off the wmp and shut down the system.Later that night i turned on my p.c. and boom !! the cursor was blinking for a little longer time than it used to load the windows.I smelled a big trouble right away and to my horror my imagination was slowly becoming a reality when i saw the message " Abort disk - Failed/retry" , when i tried to change the drive.Then it was buisness as usual changed the boot priority and then made the windows boot from the cd and ran the set up.But why the hell shud i deal with such a fragile os which tend to loose any one of the three files every 2 months like himem .sys ,config.sys and dgbat.sys. At the begining I used to get frightened as there was not even a clue whthr there was a harddisc crsh or the os crash.Now that , the crash is almost expeced every 2 months i do not bother abt it. Not only in this case , iam experiencing some strange situations with my win 98.The other day i tried to install this game called " the worms" ( or what ever hell does that mean .....).In order for me to run the game in my system my DirectX has to be upgraded.Well i saw that my system was using a Directx 8.1.So i thought i definetly need to have move on from that "stoneage software". First i installed directx 9( not sure whthr it is "b" or "c"). Then i installed the game and then restarted my system.Every thing was fine until the system again took a lot of time to start , i smelled disaster , i wasnt ready for that because i installed the win98 2 days prior to that and there is no way in hell that i am going to sit for another 45 min staring at the blue screen of death.I was very fortunate enough to see the message " WINDOWS IS UPDATING SOME FILES AND IT TAKES FEW SECONDS FOR COMPLETING THE UPDATION". I was very much releived to see that message and suddenly the windows opened without the starting music.Goodness gracious me , my wmp is not playing songs.this time the message was " No Audio Driver Detected". Believe me i was so frustrated that i wanted to remove win 98 from my system right away. i booted my system and loged on to winxp and tried formatting the "C - Drive" which was futile. I tried to calm myself down and again i tried to run the Dxdiag prog that checks for the Directx. To my disbelief DxDiag is not functioning."yes i have found the problem ", i said and then loged on to the web to look for a software which removes DirectX. Fortunately I found a German Software which does the job. I Downloaded that not before trying to load the DirectX8.1 and the Realtek Audio Diver. I busted the Direct X 9 out of my system and then reinstalled the audio driver and the Dx 8.1. and after that every thing seem to fall in the right place.Still I cannot open my Norton Antivirus 2003 which says " A DLL CALLED MSVCP.DLL IS MISSING " and i m not sure whthr my autoprotect is on as i m unable to access the NAV software. But the beauty here is NAV is installed in my win98.Similar is the case with the I.E. 6 which is installed in the sys but i cannot access it. I am really not at all sure what is happening with this win98 and it is similar to the situation " Where a Blind man is walking in the field which has lots of Land mines burried beneath" and can explode any time. I really doubt how Microsoft has become one of the leading Comp. in the world with such a crap which deserves a place in the dust bin for sure. I am eagerly waiting for a new os or an updated version of x.p.( Thinking now , why did i not bought a mac instead of P.C.!!!!!!!)

Loosing Your Identity

This is one form of the latest identity theft that is happening.So after reading this blog please equip yourself against those malicious hackers.Please do not ever give your password on the net to an unknown person or a website.Reasently I came across a lot of persons who lost their passwords.Please login to your mail id with a care.Make sure you read all the messages that are displayed and then authorize it before login on to your respective email ids.This should save any unauthorised persons getting access to your email accounts.There are three main methods of hacking that are followed all over the world.First is the fooling of the server.this is done by forwarding a mail to a mailing address that virtually does n't exsist.followed by your mail id and your password and the victims email id.I am not sure how the above method would yeild results as the mail wud get auomatically rejected as "failure of delivery".Another method which cud be used for hacking is writing an html code which simulates an error in the login screen , but the un aware user gives his username and the password and accidently also approves the message " YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE THE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT TO AN UNKNOWN PERSON - CLICK OK or CANCEL".So please do not invite a trouble for yourself as there are already lots and lots of people who've lost their identity.The third method of hacking involves getting a hired gun that is a hacker.Hiring a hacker for cracking the passwords seems so foolish , but the hackers had made it a profession and they draw a good sal for cracking the passwords.I recently had an oppurtunity to view a hacker site who calls himself momo where the hacker first asks a person to give his mail id and then the victims mail id.The hacker asks for a two days time and wud forward the victims mail id along with his/her password for an amount of $50.So lots of clandastine activities are going on the net. So eqip yourself and be prepared for such an assault, as getting the information on the internet is just outsmarting the servers and the databases which holds the info and nothing else.

AMERICANS LEFT BEHIND IN THE RACE

I am going to reveal you all one of the most shocking news you ever heard.Can you imagine the country which has the largest technical skill in the world is left all alone in the information highway.Yes it is true,if an incident similar to the july 7 blast in England had happened in America,Then it would have spelt a doom to the country 's image. Because the country is not properly connected through the cellular network.It is impossible for the Americans to dial 911 from the underground train tunnel. As a result of which the rescue work would have been hampered a lot , if such an incident had actually occured in America.As a contrast when you look at the Japanese , they are able to access the high speed internet from a speeding Bullet Train. To Tell you all the truth America is no where in the Top 10 in data sharing and cellular networks. That is partly because of the politics and also because of the geography of the place. But the times are changing , Americans are looking ahead in improving the comm and networks , they no longer depend on the gov. to do this. The people themselves gather money and lay high speed connectivity cables to improve the comm.Right now americans stand at 16 th place in the world of communication inspite of having the comm. giants like AT &T and AOL.
