Facts About Social Media Marketing

As many organizations have understood the importance of Social Media Marketing to be incorporated in their marketing and communication strategy, as I have explained in my post Social Media Marketing – An Imperative Change to be Fit, there are few fascinating facts about social media and its growth that would allow you to imagine the position of Social media in business and our life in coming future.
Social media has reached people so rapidly that currently more than 90 % of the world’s populations know at least one social network on the net and 72% of internet population is active on at least one social network. In 1984 there were 1000 internet devices, now  read more.

Google succeeds completing Android

           Android 2.2 the complete Android has evolved into a real product, on a totally different level than its first year.
           Android 2.2—aka Froyo—is the most usable, polished iteration and seventh version of Android yet. But more importantly, it's the first release that makes Android truly compelling for a broad consumer audience.
           Without getting overly technical, Android executes its apps in a layer above its core Linux OS in a virtual machine called Dalvik. There have been the results of a 2x–5x performance boost read more

Creation of artificial cell - I would say an epoch in human history


May 20, 2010, it is the day that would be remembered forever as scientists announced that they have successfully created first artificial life in the history of human being on this day. It is the production of a living cell powered by man-made DNA. The inventors (Dr. Venter and team) call it the world's first synthetic cell, although this initial step is more a re-creation of existing life which is changing one simple type of bacterium into another — than a built-from-scratch kind.
The breakthrough could be a step toward creating artificial microorganisms that observers say might be used for such purposes as absorbing greenhouse gases or developing vaccines and fuel.
 They, however, have also expressed concerns that the research could result in the production of hazardous life forms or biological weapons and many more to come which would be a big threat to humanity.
"It's the first self-replicating cell on the planet that's parent is a computer," says Venter, referring to the fact that his team converted a cell's genome that existed as data on a computer into a living organism. Dr. Venter has a reputation as a maverick, having raced the federal government to map the human genome and finishing in a tie in 2000.
How was artificial cell formed?
The researchers picked two species of Mycoplasma, simple germs that contain a single chromosome and lack the cell walls that form barriers in other bacteria. First, they chemically synthesized the genome of M. mycoides, that goat germ, twice as large as the germ genome they had previously built.Then they transplanted it into a living cell from a different Mycoplasma species, albeit a fairly close cousin.
At first, nothing happened. The team scrambled to find out why read more

My Dream Death.

We are all aware of the fact that we all are gonna die one day. Our life is not permanent and one day we will leave this world and blaw, blaw and blaw..
Most of us actually have a dream which never will be going to happen at present that we want to live forever. And most of us dream about how we want to live to live in this world, how you want your life to be, how victorious you should be, how you want your friends, lover or life partner to be. But my dreams don’t end with this. Apart from these normal dreams, I have another dream “How My Death Should Be”.
Yes. I always have the great passion towards Astronomy and NASA. I wanted at least to be a part of NASA and travel once in space. But life doesn’t go the way you dream and certainly doesn’t go the way you wanted when what your wish is distinct and difficult, and on those occasions if  you don’t show any effort to achieve it. And of course, in life, priority matters. The wish to be a part of NASA still remains in me but the funny part is that sometimes I feel very stupid. I want the death to take me from a spaceship while I am travelling far in space. I don’t know from where the heck these stupid things come to my mind but certainly my happiest death, as I feel of now, would be me dying in space while making some space journey.

It is just one week in the company where I am doing my internship we had an ultimate party this Saturday night. It was the birthday of the one of the partner of the company. The team actually threw the surprise party to on Saturday to him.  Every Saturday we have Foos Ball and Counter Strike competition in the office. All of the members of the team are very nice and we have happy time going in the office. I am getting to learn many things here and I am provided with the project of my interest. I just thank the company for all this.

ME

I, as a person, am composite of three entities “mind”, “heart” and “me”. Most of the times these three entities conflict with each other. You must be quite bewildered with the above statement.
I just came to the above conclusion after going through an internal research in myself whenever I find myself in dilemma. It happens to me more frequently in the cases when I have specific task to complete and I find internal conflict in me. Most of the times it happens that my mind gets easily clear with my goals or tasks but this stupid heart comes with its totally contradicting view. My mind has hardcore understanding of any situation, it knows what it has to do, what I have to do. It’s most of the times coherent with me but suddenly comes the disapproval from my amateur heart. It just doesn’t understand the importance of the situation it just says “No, I want this way” and never tries to change it. After all it hurts the most not when we don’t get what our mind seeks but then, when heart’s wish doesn’t get accomplished.
In spite of tremendous efforts I am still not able to change my “heart” and thus every time give-up for it. Actually I would be more happy when my mind leads me because it is best in me and it knows me the best but I am deprived of a matured heart which would have  understood the situation better and accepted them with ease and for which there would not have been any sacrifices from mind. The most satisfaction is achieved on the completion of those tasks which was accomplished with the coherent wishes of all three. 22 years gone of my life but still waiting for the metamorphism to take place and I don’t know still how many years I have to wait for it.
I care for my heart and just want it to understand the situation and accept them happily when they are not according to its wish and just go on in life pleased with every moment.

Opera Smacks Chrome

Just after very few weeks of beta release, Google released Chrome 5 last week. It’s the first version to be available simultaneously on different operating system like Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

  Google was eager to demonstrate the speed improvements from its past versions.this can be understood as according to the SunSpider benchmark, there’s been a 305% improvement in JavaScript speed as compared to Chrome’s version 1.0 and a 213% improvement according to the V8 benchmark.
   
But guys Google likes to show their supremacy and advancement to every people. So Google has come with a video which demonstrates the browser’s speed in comparison with a potato gun, the speed of sound and lightning.
Don’t you believe this? Gosh! It’s true. Really.
Hey just Go through this video in you tube -  Chrome’s potato gun – Suraj Sharma
 “Hmmm… kaash humhare paas bhi itna paisa aur time hota!”
 Google Product Manager Brian Rakowski has stated that integrated flash player will be included when Adobe release the final version of Flash Player 10.1.
  As usual Chrome 5 can be download for all operating systems at google.com/chrome. Wanna update the previous version? Then it’s very simple. Just click the Tools icon, and About Google Chrome and finally click the Update button. And by the way do not forget to connect internet and do so. Kidding guys. Oh! Don’t mistake you actually need to connect the internet to update as above. Right?
But the funny part is still to come guys. I love opera for all this and can’t never ignore to install opera. Yes I have 3 different browsers and I use all of them while accessing internet.
I also install opera in my system because I like the fact that it’s actually opera that come with innovative features in the browser and they still possess some better feature. It’s just they fail in marketing and also are not able to impress the customer in spite the fact that most of their innovative features are copied by the other well known browser. But Google and Microsoft being the king in software and internet world it’s easier for them to integrate other features with the browser.
But see how opera responded the Google’s potato gun with a very low budget but far more amusing, very funny video.
It features two stereotypical herring-obsessed Scandinavians examining Opera’s speed. Potatoes still feature in the video but, this time, they’re being boiled. Opera’s this funny reply is great and very cheap as compared to Google.
Yes, of course they don’t waste their time much in all crap inventions rather they would like to have innovative features in opera.
Unsurprisingly, the video concludes that the browser’s rendering time is almost 20 minutes quicker than potato.

Life on Saturn moon..

Two potential signatures of life on Saturn's moon Titan have been found by the Cassini spacecraft. But scientists are quick to point out that non-biological chemical reactions could also be behind the observations.
Titan is much too cold to support liquid water on its surface, but some scientists have suggested that exotic life-forms could live in the lakes of liquid methane or ethane that dot the moon's surface.
This would result in a lack of acetylene on Titan and a depletion of hydrogen close to the moon's surface, where the microbes would live, they said. Now, measurements from the Cassini spacecraft have borne out these predictions, hinting that life may be present.
Infrared spectra of Titan's surface taken with the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) showed no sign of acetylene, even though ultraviolet sunlight should constantly trigger its production in the moon's thick atmosphere.
Yet the hydrogen is not accumulating near the surface, hinting that something may be consuming it there. The results reveal "very unusual and currently unexplained chemistry", McKay told New Scientist. "Certainly not proof of life, but very interesting."
        It is possible that the hydrogen is combining with carbon in molecules on Titan's surface to make methane. But at the low temperatures prevalent on Titan, these reactions would normally occur too slowly to account for the disappearing hydrogen.
Similarly, non-biological chemical reactions could transform acetylene into benzene – a hydrocarbon that the VIMS instrument did observe on Titan's surface. But in that case, too, a catalyst would be needed to boost reaction rates enough to account for the dearth of acetylene.
"Scientific conservatism suggests that a biological explanation should be the last choice after all non-biological explanations are addressed," says Mark Allen of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "We have a lot of work to do to rule out possible non-biological explanations."
Jonathan Lunine of the University of Arizona in Tucson, a member of Clark's team, agrees. But he says it may not be possible to distinguish between biological and non-biological explanations without additional missions to Titan. "The only way to know for sure would be to actually get hold of an organism and show that it is alive," he told New Scientist.

Change

In times your life seems puzzled. You don’t understand your way, your steps.
Then someone walks into your life and solves the whole puzzle, and everything becomes clear.
I would call myself lucky as I got to meet another person the same day, who helped me to sharpen my life profile.
The person did so without his knowledge and walks away but you get the most required thing in your life, your path.
Thanks almighty for clearing the chaos in my life.
