Microsoft shows off more Windows 8 details at Computex

Microsoft unveiled some of the interface for Windows 8 at D9 yesterday, but a few hours later it went into even more detail for the company’s hardware partners at 2011 Computex in Taiwan.

Microsoft’s press releases about their Computex presentation didn’t reveal anything that hadn’t already been covered at D9, but the video has now been posted. It’s 32 minutes long and goes into quite a bit of detail about the platform, particularly those details that would be of interest to Taiwan’s huge computer and display manufacturing industry.

Foursquare lets you "check in" to a place when you're there, tell friends where you are, and track the history of where you've been--and who you've been there with. Foursquare challenges you to explore your city in new and fun ways by earning points, winning mayorships, and unlocking badges and specials for trying new places and revisiting old favorites.

The World’s Most Expensive Stuff 2010

The Rich Spend Richer

For the world’s wealthiest, money is no object when extraordinary things enter the market—even during a global recession. Items may be deemed "priceless" for their cachet, beauty, rarity, or historic significance. Extremely well-to-do consumers have paid $3 million for a gold iPhone, but more unbelievable sums have been offered for elite luxury goods. To identify some of the biggest sales ever made, Bloomberg Businessweek combed through years of news reports and blogs and spoke with high-end retailers and auction houses. We looked at objects ranging from automobiles and boats to jewelry and electronics. The biggest price tag is for the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich’s new megayacht, the Eclipse, which is expected to cost as much as $1.2 billion. While average consumers cut spending during the recession, the market for diamond-studded accessories and high-end art has been surprisingly resilient. The economy has not deterred aficionados with the means to spend, says Bo Bengtsson, president of Transmission Audio, a company in Sweden that recently introduced a $2 million speaker set. "I’ve been getting calls from very rich people who are also huge music lovers," he says. Clickhere to see the world’s most expensive stuff.

My First Day in MGM

My First Day in MGM

As the morning of 27th June came it was a new way for me to go. At morning I walk up and i was happy to go to my new school i.e, MGM HSS Kuruppampady. As i entered to the school compound i found many people chatting each other and during my entry i was alone. Then, when i went inside i saw many of my friends standing on the stairs. I joined with them and we went to the hall where the function for new students was going on. There where many Functions going on. Principal Speech, Manager Speech, Chief Guest Speech etc. At last the only function was to group the children to the classes. A teacher came near the mic and started reading the names of the students who are in her class i.e.A1. She called my name and i was happy to a member of the A1 computer Batch Family. She called 39 boys and 14girls. It was a shock to know that there where 39 boys in my class. The teacher called us all and took us to ourA1 classroom. The class room was dark. After entering the class we opened the windows and then light came. I was seated at the last bench with jishnu s and anand. The teacher began to say her whole profile and then she asked us our name and from which school we came. The chat was over and she began to say about the school rules and regulations. After that we boys had a chat together and all new names became familiar to me. It was a pleasant first day for me....

Treasures at Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple

Treasures at Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple

After some time , I am after a small bang with my blog .I am here with my next post with a public happening , everything below are solely my own opinion ,no bad ideas ,just read the disclaimer at the very bottom of my webpage after reading this . . .


This is about a temple in Southern kerala , the Sri Padmanabhaswamy 

temple which is one of the most famous Lord Vishnu Temples in  South India which was built in the 16th century by the rulers of Travancore area .  


You all are familiar with this , especially south  Indians .  Precious stones , kilograms of pure  jewellery ,vigrahas , gold and silver estimated to be worth of thousands of crores have been found in the secret underground vaults of sri padmanabhaswami temple in southern India , A seven-member team appointed by the court including retired judges is still conducting an inventory of the vaults.The stock-taking process was ordered by the Supreme Court following a petition filed by an advocate T.P. Sundararajan over mismanagement of the temple affairs adding that the present people in charge are incapable of managing the assets of the temple . The temple has around 6 underground chambers named A , B , C , D , E , F . The first day's evaluation revealed treasures worth around 20000 crore as estimated by the team . On second day it came around 50000+ crores and still it's going on . 


"Treasures included very old gold chains, diamonds and precious stones which cannot be valued in terms of money," says Malayala Manorama,
The treasure contains ‘Kashi necklaces’ worth several crores, believed to be worn by kings of Travancore.Crowns, jewels and precious stones were also listed.The seven-member committee, aided by Fire Force, Rescue Force and PWD officials, entered the underground chamber, armed with oxygen masks.Three sets of crowns and an idol of Padmanabha Swamy have been listed.A large collection of ‘Saratpoli mala’, numbering 1,000,was also found. They are studded with gems called ‘aval’. Nearly a tonne of ‘aval’ was found.One of these chains was reportedly 18-foot long.‘Swarna dhandu’ in huge numbers and ‘pathakam’ have also been listed in this chamber.The chamber was feared to be filled with poisonous fumes due to which it was oxygenated first. The members who entered the chamber were provided with oxygen masks.
The committee has already opened the ‘C’, ‘D’ and ‘F’ chambers while the ‘E’ chamber could not be opened on Wednesday, as it required the presence of the ‘nambi’. This chamber and chamber ‘B’ on Today. The whole exercise began on Monday with the committee members opening the ‘C’ chamber which contained gold items, including golden umbrellas, pots,‘varps’ and silver pots. On Tuesday, the ‘D’ and ‘F’ chambers were opened.Precious stone-studded thrones and crowns have been found among the innumerable valuables stacked in these chambers. On Wednesday, the committee opened the ‘A’ chamber — which had not been opened for centuries — for a few minutes and decided to seek the help of Fire and Rescue Services personnel and Health Department officials to ward off any untoward incidents.


But ,on the basis of what they are estimating it's value ?????? 


The revealed items consist of necklaces ,gold coins ,precious & rare diamonds , golden vessels , golden crown , statues made of gold , golden emblems and all of them are antiques !!!! & how did they estimate the value of them  all on a sudden ?
Experts say that when all the chambers are opened , the overall value of the treasures will cross the assets of the Thirupati Sri balaji temple. The Chief Minister of kerala Mr.Oommen Chandy ordered for a strong security force for this famous temple. The temple is under tight security and monitoring under the police force and it is expected that central forces will be called on for expanding security .


And above all ,the curiosity lies in ,what is going to be done with this treasure ? ? ?


According to the the present progression ,it seems that ,the original value of the treasure may cross the overall income of the state .The estimation is going on still and when it is completed , next comes " what is next ? " The vaults are believed to be opened before around 150 years ,and it was very hard to be accessed . The  Known legends say that the kings of travancore kingdom sealed these immense tresures in nilavaras ( meaning vault in malayalam ) for future ,may be on the proverb in malayalam " sambattu kaalatt thai pattu vachal aapatt kaalat kapattu tinnam " , meaning if we save when we are wealthy ,we can use it when we are in lackage  & now it is in our hands . 


Anyway ,as the world says Indians are always intelligent and maestros in engineering ,then and everytime .The construction of the 'nilavaras' depict that . It was very difficult to break into some of the vaults even though it was very old on the make  .The kings also kept so much barriers in some of the vaults . Who then thought it will get to the hands of the right people atlast ? ?
 Let's see in the coming days ,what is going to be done with this when everything is revealed and the real value is estimated .

Learning from Gandhi

Gandhi Darshan, a programme that reaches out to students, hopes to make a difference in the lives of children.

Gandhi's teachings: Inspiring the young.

The upcoming generation is for sure familiar with Mahatma Gandhi and his relentless fight that brought the nation freedom.

But, is the Father of the Nation in danger of becoming just another figure in the pages of the history books?

Inspiring change

It is to avert such a possibility that the Kochi Centre of the Gandhi Peace Foundation has been reaching out to schools in the district under its programme — “Gandhi Darshan” — over the last quarter of a century. The programme is targeted at students from Stds V to IX.

“We were able to reach out to 35 schools during the last academic year. This year, we aim to cover all the schools in the district by roping in the service of the National Service Scheme volunteers in college campuses,” said V.M. Michael, secretary, Gandhi Peace Foundation, Kochi Centre.

Till the last year, the programme was limited to classes on episodes from Gandhi's autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth. Members from the Kochi Centre conducted one class in a year in each school after which the faculty in charge of the programme followed it up for the rest of the year.

This year, the Foundation plans to go beyond such classes to ensure that students assimilate Gandhian principles and implement them in their lives rather than simply learn about it.

Sensitising efforts

Concerned about news reports on the growing influence of alcohol and narcotics among the young generation, the Foundation has decided to focus their activities in sensitising the students against these social evils.

“We plan to embark on a massive awareness campaign against such bad habits in schools this year. Education authorities in the district have also promised to cooperate,” Mr. Michael said.

While seven to eight members of the Foundation have been visiting schools over the years under the Gandhi Darshan programme, they wish they have had more time for meaningful interaction with students so as to leave a definite impact.

Majority of schools are yet to allocate a fixed time for the programme but have been accommodating it during free time. “Allotting a few periods like the one on moral science for the programme would have made a big difference,” Mr. Michael said.

That yearning is not without reason. There can be no better lesson than the principles for which Mahatma laid down his life, especially amid the constant lament of a generation going astray.
