Google is ubiquitous. I still remember the day when I first searched on Google. It was in it's infancy and what grabbed my attention was it's simplicity and faster search results. Before Google, I was engaged with Altavista. Altavista had that huge directory like yellow/brownish interface and It was quite an overwhelming for starter where to start and search. Today, when we mean searching something online, Google has become the standard for searching. Though it looks so simple and vulnerable, overtime, it has grown to become as huge as 'kragen', it's tentacles have reached to that extent that to reach there, We've to furnish our searching skill even more.

I still consider myself not an advanced searcher but I don't hesitate calling myself beyond the normal searcher.

I've seen people searching on google with simple keywords. Most of young people search internet for music and if they want some bands mp3 to download, what they do typically is
for ex: "rolling stones mp3 download" and hit Search on google.

If you want to find biography of some great legendary figure, normally, they just enter something like "Elvis Presley Biography" and search.

There are many examples of simple search keywords which people use.

I'm not telling that this is not a proper way of searching but definitely It's not a smart way to search. Somehow you may get to the page you've searched for but after investing your precious times. Smart searching reduces the time taken and I'm going to tell what I know about google searching.

When I came here in USA, my usual search was like this:

"1 gallon in litre"(without quotes) and hit Search button on google.

My father's car gulped 13 gallon at one go and being Nepalese,
I calculated it again as
"13 gallons in litre"(without quotes) and hit search button on google.

Similarly, people were using pounds here as for measuring weights. For starter, if they want to know, try this:
"1 pound in kilogram"(without quotes) and hit search button on google.
I weighed 74 kilograms and to find my pound value, I typed:
"74 kilograms in pound"(without quotes) and hit search button on google.

How about some mile conversion to kilometers? Starter can use this way:
"1 mile in kilometer"(without quotes) and hit search button on google.

One day, we drove to San Francisco and my father told me it is some 200 miles far from our place. So, I typed on google how many kilometers we traveled:
"200 miles in kilometer"(without quotes) and hit search button on google.

That's it and google gave me all answers at just one go. I think these are the things we learned in school but you should try it in Google. I call it smart search and If you are wondering what is this all about, it's google's Calculator. And, hey if you want to customize such conversions with your own units, DID YOU NOTICE that 'IN' like "1 pound in kilogram". So, don't miss that IN and you'll get mathematical conversion easily.

In addition to that, if you know this following mathematical operator as:
+
-
*
/

then, you can get calculation easily too. for eg:
4*4 and hit search button on google. Try some more using above operators. Wow, it's google's calculater. I bet most of you didn't know this before.

If you know trigonometry, you can use it get the result for some complex formula. Since I'm not so well versed in trigonometry, I dare not describe that here.

Okay, Now, I'll tell you how to effectively search some practical things online. When you search online, don't get easily disappointed with the results. It's because of the keywords you searched for. So, just even a simple word or letter counts while searching.

I was searching for a picture of Moon which my father showed me in real life. The only thing I knew about the picture is that it's taken from Alaska and that's how it looked from Alaska. At first, I didn't believe but I tried following keywords,
"moon view from Alaska"(without keywords) and clicked the Images tab on Google's search engine. All I found were regular normal sized moon pictures. Pronto, I started playing with different keywords like:
"moon from Alaska"(without quotes) on Image search and I saw queer thumbnail of the same moon photo on first result of the page.
I removed the search keyword 'view' from above because, 'View' as a search keyword is very common word and to narrow my search and to get precise result, I removed that and I got my expected result at one go. Basically, when we search online, we've to take care of these things and remove unnecessary common words from the keywords apart from the one we're searching for. I couldn't delete 'moon' because, that's what I was searching for and I could've included 'moon picture from Alaska' or 'moon photo from alaska' but as I wrote earlier, 'Photo' and 'picture' they were again so common words not good for precise and quick result.

I quickly used the same keywords("moon from alaska") to find some information on WEB(not image). Well, there wasn't any relevant informations on it. I again played with keywords, used little bit of common sense( I knew Alaska is somewhere near North Pole) and this time I entered:
"moon from North pole"
Voila, there was the first page which had the exact information I was looking for. That's How I did, Ametya Ji.

Now, to get little on advance level, if you are searching some information from a particlue site, remember this keyword:

"site:"(without keywords)

suppose I want so search some informations from my own blog, like about games. so my keyword would be:

"game site:meroguff.com"(without quotes) and hit the search button on google.

That's it, you'll get all the results only from meroguff.com highlighting the searched phrase or keyword 'game'. Just remember this ,"site:"(without quotes) keyword to use. You could ask me why not go to site itself and use it's search bar, it's again same thing, being smart. You could choose long cut or short cut. I like short cut. If you are wondering how google knows all about my/your blogs and sites, because, google's search spiders crawl your sites and blogs all the time at definite period of time. And, they've records or snapshots of your site's data. You don't believe me?? here's how:

use this following keywords:
cache:www.somedeadsites.com

what this "cache:" does is that It keeps the snapshots of websites periodically. If you see some sites dead or not opening recently, just use "cache:www.somedeadsite.com" and you shall see that site still opening. But these days, google seems keeping records of only 3 days old records.

Now, to search or get definition of some keywords, you may want to use search keywords followed by a word called "define".
It's just like asking search genie your questions:
Try this:
"define love"(without quotes) and hit search button on google.
You could just use 'love' as your search keyword but the results would be vague again, as I wrote before. If some keywords are popular enough, you don't need to worry about because, most of the online encyclopedias like wikipedia would store them on their database.
Search this:
"Prashant Tamang"(without quotes) and hit search buttong on google.

What do you see is the first result stored by wikipedia. So, normally, if you are seeking for some information which are quite popular would be stored by sites like wikipedia but what if the search keywords are not that popular. You still can force it to search if it's there in Wiki or not just by using following keywords:
"keywords" +wiki

Did you notice "+wiki"?? that plus sign will tell google to include sites with 'wiki' word.

From above example, if you don't want to see information from wiki but from some other sites, use the following keywords:
"Prashant Tamang -wiki"(without quotes) and hit search button on google.

So, this '+' and '-' here are not mathematical operators but are used to include or omit the search results relevant to those searched keywords.

Eg: Apple (search for keyword 'apple' on google). What do you see? it's just Apple computers official site at first link, right?

Now, try this

"Apple +fruit -computer"(without quotes) and hit search button on google

This will only show the result relating to fruit but omitting all the results which are related to computers. So, this is smart search, I call. You could use and try that '+' and '-' for other different purpose. Just try it.

Now more advanced and somewhat unethical searching. It's like Get what you want. Are you searching for some ebooks online??
For example, if I'm in need of some ebooks based on visual basic, I would use following keywords.

intitle:"index of" "visual basic" ebook

intitle:"index of" - will fetch the sites with the title 'index of' and why we are using this because, most of the web sites are structured that way. Index will show the directory contents most of the time. So, this intitle:"index of" will give you the precise results for downloads of anything. Here you could use the title of the book most of the time, or you can try with authors name too. Just try and experiment.

And, to search music:

intitle:"index of music" "elvis presley"
or
intitle:"index of mp3" "elvis presley"
or
intitle:"index of music" "elvis presley" mp3

Don't use some thing like "elvis presley song" etc. Just narrow your site and you'll get what you want shortly.

I don't know if I should be writing this following keywords or not, but, I'm just letting you know these things are the black art of searching things online. If you are searching for some softwares, use following keywords

"(Name of the software) +softwarez +blog"(without quotes) and hit enter on search button of google

These are the keywords, I just discovered myself and I'm not telling anything more than that :)

Hope you had wonderful learning
and thanks for reading.
If you've any questions, let me know :)

Past few days, It's been raining here. And, it's just raining. I don't like rainy seasons I dunno why but whoever I asked, I've never met someone who has said he/she doesn't like rain. May be I'm the only guy who doesn't like rain.
It hailed sometimes .. bad weather, I don't like it(view from my place)
But, today, it did stop for few hours. After a tiresome trip to San hose and back to home, I took my usual evening walk and roamed around the Wharf. I saw Sea Otter floating on the water trying to break some sort of shell,may be for it's dinner which it might have picked from the surface below the sea.And, a Sea bird trying to steal it's prey, that was awesome and I managed to capture it in my camera. Hope you guys like it. That's how I spent weekend today. Back to home rushing, it was drizzling and now, by the time I'm writing this post, it's hell of a rain outside. Damn!! I hate rains.
Bunch of Sea Lions at the Wharf, taking rest lying their neck to eachother's body

Hope you didn't get bored with my rambling.

Today, I was having a little chit-chat with my father and unconditionally he showed me one photo. The photo was like from some dreamland. I couldn't believe it. He told me that, that was how Moon looks from north pole. Upon asking more, he told me that his friend gave him the photo and he collected it as souvenir. I just couldn't believe. Because, I felt, if moon came that near to earth, then only God knows what would happen next. I've never ever seen the moon of that size and I've never been taught that moon would look that big from some part of the earth.

I searched on Internet and I found the exact photo(which is below). We all know that in North Pole, there sun never sets for whole 6 months. And, I found people writing that the following picture has been taken during the month of June in North Pole, where sun is getting ready to go down. And, that Magnificent view of Moon was captured. That was their views. Quite convincing!!
This is how moon looks from north pole during the month of June. Sun just setting below Moon..(click image for larger view)

But, somehow I managed to find that It wasn't real. Because, I spent few more minutes searching on Google out of disbelief and I got the real answer hidden deep within.

Snopes.com has revealed the real truth behind this mysterious photo and the creator of this magnificent digital image is Inga Neilson, a german student. If you go and check his site, you'll find his other creations similar like this.

He was using Terragen(Terragen™ is capable of photorealistic results for professional landscape visualisation, special effects, art and recreation.),a computer software which can generate real lifelike digital terrain images.

I've used Terragen before and it's wonderful free software. You can grab the idea how to work with it within few minutes and start creating your own wonderful dreamlands. Followings are my Terragen images which I did few months ago. Not impressive but I tried.

Past few days, I was busy as dog to start my new blog. Actually, the domain name www.technewsnepal.com was bought around a year ago and since then, I just experimented with it with nothing useful to tell about. I was actively participating in this blog of mine(meroguff) and still I am. Now on, I'll be maintaining two blogs at a time.

Meroguff will be more focused on everything related to tech,fun,reviews,gossips and so, whereas www.technewsnepal.com will be strictly and strictly related to tech only and I'm glad to see that within a week of working on it, I'm getting lots of visitors. I didn't even promote my blog at all and visitors are already flocking in. I submitted my blog to one blog network site today and it's waiting for approval. I'll do this in coming days with other network sites too and I'm sure, www.technewsnepal.com will draw the attention of many.
..my visitor stat,today
The major difference between Meroguff and technewsnepal.com would be the engine they are using. Meroguff is totally based upon blogger engine whereas technewsnepal.com is proudly running on latest wordpress 2.3.2

One more thing, I should take a note of, is that technewsnepal.com would be independently running off it's own server. I've managed to load videos(good bye YouTube) from my own server and even managed to load shoutbox script from my own server. So, everything and everything will be running there using my paid server's resources. I'm glad I did that.
Previously, I had some favorite videos on YouTube and somebody deleted the video, at that time, I felt that I should've downloaded the videos and stored somewhere on my box. So, I learned that and I've installed a YouTube Video downloader script on my own server. Now, no worries, I'll get whatever YouTube videos that I like, download it and upload it to my own server instead of linking it with YouTube's server.

So, this is my new blog, www.technewsnepal.com
Hope you'll like my new baby :)

Ramola's computer was working fine yesterday. But this morning, her computer stopped working. What she saw on her computer screen was just dark blank screen. Nothing, not even a BIOS details. What could've gone wrong? She called his friend Kevin, who's bit techie. He visited her leaving all his work. He checked her PC and finally told her, her motherboard's capacitor is dead. She was worried about her data on her harddrive which were more important to her. She wanted them at any cost. Kevin took out her harddrive which fortunately was working, Kevin backed up all the data off the harddrive,burnt it into some optical medias. He even changed her new motherboard and luckily same drive worked for her without hassles. Ramola had to pay some $100 dollars just for getting her data backed-up. But how did he do that?

I want to thank Jim Owens for providing me with his best selling ebook called 'How to recover data from harddrive' and thanks Jim for letting me distribute this ebook on behalf of my readers. I really appreciate his greatness.

This ebook has all details which any newbie could learn quickly. It's all step by step instructions with 90% photographs and 10% description. That's not boring right? It's extremely helpful to solve your computer problems easily.

I love wrestling as a game and I've learned myself many trick moves just watching them. I thought it was only me, but seeing this video below, I'm proved wrong.

Hey, how much do you pay for any products in the market? Do you pay whatever it's labeled on products?? I've faced many awkward situations when I really wanted to buy something but didn't have enough money to spend on. Later, it's no where in the Market and while sitting on the couch one evening, I read news of low price sale of the same product. Moreover, (jeez), it's somewhere getting sold, not even in my nearest retail marketplace. You really gotta see my face at that time. My intention is not to presume that there are all people as unfortunate as me, however, if you are not seller, then the situation I've mentioned must have come through your life at one time. I bet on that.

With the advent of e-commerce technology, millions of people shop online. Many of them are paying just like the way, I've mentioned in above paragraph. Paying retail price. My focus is to let my readers know about how effective it would be if we get the same products at much much lower price without compromising on quality and feature.

Your key to smart buying is SAVEBUCKETS.CO.UK or you can just type SAVEBUCKETS.COM
It's same thing. When I write 'Smart buying' doesn't necessarily mean SAVEBUCKETS is selling things online. Nope, it's not selling anything, it's rather helping buyers like you and me to make an appropriate decisions and do smart shopping at lower price than of retails. SAVEBUCKETS.CO.UK brings all the companies,all the sellers at one place, it makes price comparisons and publishes the prices of product that we want to pay for. If you like one particular product, you've choices to make from which sellers you want to buy. There will be links to sellers, find your favorite seller and make your purchase online.

There are couple of things that I must not forget to mention. SAVEBUCKETS.CO.UK as a product comparison site has many exciting features. Two of them, which I liked most are:
My Price
Search Shops you know

My Price;
If you found something interesting product but don't have enough cash to shell out at that moment(which I faced many times before), 'My Price' allows you to stick to your budget when buying. Just enter your email address and the maximum amount you are prepared to pay against the product you've selected. They will then check the price of that product whenever a shop on their service(site) has changed the price and contact you by email when the price has reached or fallen beneath your maximum price with a link directly to that shop(seller).

This is lifesaver for buyers like me who don't have to face any awkward situations that I've mentioned in the early of this post. And, this 'MY PRICE' is always below the product of your interest to assist you. Isn't that cool?
MY PRICE
And, another feature is "Search Shops you know".
This is a search box on their very first main page of the site. There are two options; Search all shops and Search Shops you know.
Search Shops you know
I'm particularly interested on this 'Search Shops you know' because most of the buyers, instinctively follow only the shops which are popular, favorites of many, where considerable number of buyers flocks in and out regularly. And, 'Search Shops you know' will show only those shops which are most visited or where most online purchases are made. Besides, there is no harm dealing with other shops too because you can get great bargains from these shops as well..

Few days ago, accidentally my brother's Sony Mp3 player got crushed under the car's wheel. I was looking for a substitute and guess what, I found arrays of mp3 players listed on SAVEBUCKET.CO.UK. I've never seen such cheap and best offers. He's gonna choose one from these. Besides,these guys have linked to so many products of our interests, they are as follows :
* Baby Products
* Body Care & Cosmetics
* Books
* Cars & Motorbikes
* Clothing
* Communication
* Computer Hardware
* Computer Services
* Computer Software
* Consumer Electronics
* Electronic Games
* Food, Drink & Tobacco
* Games & Gadgets
* Gifts
* Health & Wellbeing
* Home & Garden
* Music
* Office & School
* Sport & Leisure
* Tickets & Events
* Travel

In addition to that, they've safety guides while buying online. You can find Guide to buying Safely Online here.

And, what they are saying, you can actually listen to this audio link below:

Be it kid or old, everyone loves games. No matter how professional they are in their field or to which extent they pretend as mature or grown up, there is a kid always inside who become kid with their kids playing games. Do you remember playing Pacman or say Tetris for hours? What about Super Mario in Mushroom Land? These are my all time favorites which just run fine on my cellphone's game emulator, now. Just trying to recall how these wonderful games have been developed overtime.

I grew up playing mario on NES system then. Gradually, the 8 bit gaming changed to 16 bit ,to 32 bit and so. When I recall those days, it really makes me feel go back to that time and have fun again,whatever..

..In 1952, A.S. Douglas created the first graphical computer game. It was a version of Tic-Tac-Toe , programmed on the EDSAC vaccum-tube computer, which had a cathode ray tube dsiplay. It wasn't truly a computer game but William Higginbotham created what might have been the first vdeo game, in 1958. His game, called 'Tennis for Two', was created and played on a Brookhaven National Laboratory oscilloscope.

In 1972, the first commercial home game system was launched the Magnavox Odyssey, by Magnavox, in the US. Designed by Ralph Baer , the first commercial video game console that could be used in home, the Odyssey, was released by Magnavox in 1972.

The first arcade video game that used vector graphics instead of a raster diplay was Space Wars. The game was released in 1977.

In 1978, Atari Football became the first arcade game to use a track ball.

The first computer book to sell one million copies was 101 BASIC computer games. It was published in the US by Creative Computing in 1978.

The Mattel Intellivsion was released in 1980, and was the first 16-bit home game console.

On JUne 17, 1980, Atari's 'Asteroids' and 'Lunar Lander' were the first two video games to be registered in the copyright office.

Did you know 'Tetris' had sold over 40 million copies worldwide , since it began in 1982. That comes to $800 million in revenues!(gulp) yeap, that's true. Back then, it rocked. And, later the same game as the first software to be imported form the Soviet Union to the US was Tetris, developed in 1985 by Alexey Pazhitnov.

In 1981, Shigeru Miyamoto, guided by Gunpei Yokoi, made the first game for Nintendo starring Mario, which was previously the arcade game Donkey Kong. And, Mario, one of the best known video game characters, was named after Nintendo's landlord.

Listen to this cool Mario Theme song and be nostalgic.
Extraordinary performance by ZackKim

If you are wondering about the word Nintendo, then it is composed of three Japanese Kanji characters, Nin-ten-do. These character can be translated into "Heaven blesses hard work". Cool eah?? I bet you didn't know this before.

Gunpei Yokoi was the creator of the Game Boy and Virtual Boy. He worked on Famicom, the Metroid series, Game Boy Pocket and did extensive work on the system we know today as the Nintendo Entertainment System.

PacMan got its name from the Japanese word "pacu", meaning "to munch". Since "pacu" is pronounced the same same as "f... you", only with a 'p' sound, its name was changed to "pacman"

In 1988, Sega entered the video game market with Genesis, which was called MegaDrive in Japan. The console, with 16-bit processor, was the first to challenge Nintendo's monopoly.

Nintendo started its enterprise in 1889, when the great-grandfather of the current Nintendo president, Fulsajiro Yamauchi, founded Nintendo Koppai, which made special playng cards called Hanafunda ("flower cards").

Sega released Sonic the Hedfehog in 1991 as a direct response to Nintendo's super NES gaming system.

Microsoft's Flight Simulator became the best selling PC game of all time after its release in 1993.

The first 32-bit home video game system was the Panasonic 3DO released in 1993.

Sony released a matte black version of its Playstation in 1997, which enabled programmers to create their own video games in the C programming language. It was called Net Yaroze.

The Sega Dreamcast, released in 1999, was the first console game machine to sport a 128-bit architecture.

Did you know that an estimated 1 lakh copies of the playstation game Tiger Woods 99 were recalled after The Spirit of Christmas, a clip in which Jesus Christ and Santa Claus get into fistfight over the true meaning of Christmas was discovered in a hidden file on the CD-ROM? The recall was necessitated due to the fact that the clip was unauthorized and was full of expletives.

Playstation 2 hit the shelves in Japan on March 4, 2000 and sold 98000 units in four hours.

Rest we all know, Wii,PS3 and XBOX 360 live?? they are swirling in the market now. Time will tell us in coming days, which of these is the record breaker and all time favourite.

People do pay the cost for owning a web host space/services/features and domain name. In addition to that, they are burdened with extra expenses for setting up their site,putting flesh and muscles to it. Believe it or not, the money they pay to some professionals to set the site up, it's exorbitantly much much more than they pay for owning the space and domain space. Some are adventurous enough trying to figure out things themselves and they try to setup online store for themselves. That's the invitation to the lots of troubles,time wastage,headaches,not properly working site interface, unprofessional look et cetera. Why am i writing all these?? Because, one can't deny the existence of online business. If you buy things from ebay and amazon, then you are already acquainted with the power of e-business. Do you think you can't make sites like one of them?? Do you think you'll have to spend thousands of dollars trying to learn how to setup online stores like that? Well, forget about all the troubles, it's passe.

You can now setup an online store without knowing any html or web programming. Any novice sellers and business entrepreneurs can setup their online store at ease without paying a penny to any middleman. but HOW?? The answer is ASHOP COMMERCE.

Ashop Commerce is a world-class provider of shopping cart software, internet programming and digital imaging who cater toward small to medium sized businesses that are looking to build or simply start their online division of business.

This shopping cart software is extremely easy to use and all you've to do is to work online and set things online. I've never found any ecommerce software like this so easy to work with. I'd also like to add that the 24/7 support team is excellent and one doesn't have to worry about anything. Their comprehensive knowledge base is extremely useful when someone comes across questions. If you are skeptical about how it would be after you pay the money, don't worry. Their free 10 days trial account is absolutely for people like you. One doesn't have to use credit card to get 10 days trial account. It's just sign up and you start working with. You'll realize that they really are worth of your money. So, it's up to you what to do next. If you want to try their service without signing up, you can select their LIVE DEMO pronto and feel how it's gonna be when you buy their service.

Thus, if you are thinking to setup your own business online, then this is the right time not to think but to purchase their service. Don't worry about domain name,web space, shopping cart software etc. Leave all these to them. They'll take care of it. The only thing for one to do is, just put their business and product informations. And the cost is perfectly feasible. Think of the money you would spend on middleman to set all things up for you when you purchase their plan. My verdict is i've never found shopping cart software so easy to setup/use and so affordable.

Did you know that each word you type and save on your blogs or forums or discussion boards (wherever on Internet), you are contributing to shape the future. I,as a blogger, felt good that when I was enlightened with a wisdom that I'm at least helping to create prophecies. You too are contributing.

Be it Nostradamus or Einstein, they had always been foretelling future(based on their mathematics and calculation)that was far way beyond their times. It's still subject matter of controversy that things closely turned out as of their predictions. If you ask me, when I study their analysis to present context, It forces me to believe all those controversies, all those predictions, all those prophecies. Once I read some predictions of Nostradamus where he wrote somewhere about the demise of entire humankind but before that he'd written some of the things like humankind has to go through terrible phases like incurable disease, losing self-conscience, disaster, natural calamities etc. To my judgment, all these are happening. Global warming being the major issue. War among nations for petty reasons, rise of terrorist group whose intention is to destroy peace, unnatural Climatic change, turmoil all over the geography of the planet, these are not good omen.

Oops, I unintentionally diverted myself to different topic. I was writing about how we are contributing to build the prophecy of our time. It's all about Internet and the project started in the late 1990's to assist in making stock market predictions(pretty accurate), is now being used to predict the future of entire human civilization. It's well known as 'The Web Bot Project'. Believe it or not, according to them they predicted major events, few of them were 9/11 and Tsunamis. People didn't believe, they're still skeptical about this particular technology but now the same researchers involved on the same project are predicting some devastation outcome in 2012. This has created some sort of sensational vibes among the researchers and scientists. Even normal people like me are equally the part of this prediction and much concerned about their sayings.

According to aphroditeastrology, "The technology(web bot project) uses a system of spiders to crawl the Internet and search for keywords, much like a search engine does. When a keyword is located, the bot program takes a snapshot of the text preceding and following the keyword. This snapshot of text is sent to a central location where it is then filtered to define meaning. "

And, if you are interested to read, what are the predictions of Web Bot project, click here or to know something about the project and people behind it, click here. You will be forced to believe that it's working and even if you don't believe, we can think ourselves, where are we going? We shouldn't be just limited to our daily home chores, our own selfishness, our monthly salaries, luxuries,affairs etc. Lets think above it and lets think where are we heading towards. These are the things which I often ask myself and I don't find any answers. But when I come into some conclusion, well.. that's not good enough to write about. I don't want to emphasize on superficial thing, I'm just asking to use your own judgment.

Whatever, we're shaping future and precisely,contributing to predict/foresee the future, our very own future. I never knew the technology would do that but It's slowly drawing attention. May be yours too. If you knew about this, please share with me, even if you've never heard about this, lets learn and discuss.

Few days ago, Apple Inc. Chief Executive Steve Jobs unveiled his latest Macbook series notebook called 'Apple Macbook Air'. Never showed much interest on Apple products other than Apple iPhone, this Apple Mackbook Air is even more astonishingly thinnest notebook I've every seen till date.

Steve Jobs announced that Apple Macbook Air would even fit inside a normal Envelope and when he said/showed that, It was unbelievable. It was extremely thin and when measured it's almost somewhere between 0.16 - 0.76 inch. It's not even an inch.



According to him, other so-called thinnest notebooks have compromised on display(low display screen),keyboard(resulting miniature keyboard),processing power(low processing speed), and so to achieve their kind of thinness on their notebooks. But, his Apple Macbook Air delivers all latest features with no compromise on anything.

Apple Macbook Air specifications are as follows:

- 0.16-0.76 inches thickness
- 13.3 inch widescreen backlit display
- Full size backlit keyboard
- Multi touch gesture technology on special trackpad
- iSight for video conferencing
- 1.6 GHz core 2 Duo standard(installable to 1.8 GHz)
- 2 GB memory
- 80 GB hard drive -(64 GB SSD drive OPTION as Addon)
- latest wi-fi (802.11n wi-fi, bluetooth 2.1 +EDR)
- USB Superdrive(optional)
- 5 hours battery life( with wi-fi,multimedia,internet surfing)

And, he announced it's price tagged at $1800. And this 'Big thing in Small package' will be available in market within 2 weeks from the date of his announcement. Which is now 8-9 more days to go.

Followings are his videos announcing his latest "Apple Macbook Air":

I came across a site called http://www.thespeakercompany.com which is selling quality loudspeakers at about half the price than retailers do. You may be wondering why half the price than retailers because, they are directly dealing with consumers cutting off all the middleman involved within. And, It helps in saving extra money to spend and I think it's very nice offer for consumers like us who is looking for great quality speakers at reduced price. They're no less than other big names in retail markets.

The same speakers would cost double the price at retail than this site is offering. And, I'm planning to get one for me. Since, I don't have one good speaker for my computer right now, I'm planning to get one of the PC speakers for myself. One of these are most suitable for me and quite affordable too. People looking for other kind of speakers like Bookshelf speakers,In Wall Speakers, Outdoor speakers etc are also available. In fact, if you visit their site, you will find all the speakers nicely categorized and moreover, for newbie like me, they've very nice guide on how to choose left/right Main speakers,surround speakers,subwoofer,outdoor speakers and in-depth guide to In-wall & In-ceiling Speakers. Their pricing for the best and snazziest speakers available today, is really irresistible. And, purchasing is just a piece of cake. Just Order online using your Credit card. Besides, shipping is free within the United States. That's the added benefit for people living in US.

So, this is obviously a good offer that nobody likes to miss. As their slogan says 'Quality Speakers Half the price',they live up to it by providing great products and service at an affordable half price than that of similar products in the retail markets.

Entrecard is a site which according to them acts like a real business card but for online world of bloggers. You just drop your card to whichever blog you visit and blogger behind the blog will get you noticed.

It's been almost 2 weeks for me ever since I used Entrecard. The response is good. Besides, the blog has to be the Entrecard member to be able to drop or get dropped. Signup is a cakewalk.

The fuel of Entrecard is the entrecard credits. When you signup, you'll start with zero credit and to earn credit, it's simple. Drop your card to every blog which is displaying Entrecard Widget. Each drop you make, you'll earn one credit. So, if you drop your card to 100 blogs daily, you'll earn 100 credits daily. Simple!! It seems quite hectic and time consuming though. Now, advertising plays the role to earn quick credits. If some advertisers come and place their adverts on you, you'll have to approve the advert request. By doing so, you'll earn some quick entrecard credits. How much credits you'll earn from advertisers depends upon how many entrecard bloggers dropped their cards to yours. If 15 people drop their cards to yours, your credit value becomes double the number of people who dropped their cards on yours. So, 15 people dropping their cards will make you earn 30 entrecard credits from individual advertiser.
hey!!that's my Entrecard running on someone's blog. I gotta drop my card on this blog
Most of the time, new entrecard members are bombarded with advert requests since it costs too less to advertise on new entrecard member's blog.

It compels you to visit blogs everyday, drop your card and earn some credits. Initially, when I did drop my card, I just didn't care much about the blog contents. My only intention was to earn credits as fast as possible so that I could advertise my blog on some other popular blogs. But, as I started dropping my card on daily basis, I came across some interesting blogs where now I spend considerable amount of my time reading them.

No matter if you don't care at first, but finally you'll start noticing blogs where you drop your cards. That happened to me and I think Entrecard, the idea is brilliantly working.

The reason behind this post today is because, I want to thank one person who is deliberately dropping her card on my blog everyday.As we know, only one entrecard drop,per blog a day is allowed. She's been dropping her card on mine since 10 days.

She's Sue from Ohio,United States and she runs a blog called Farvel Cargo. Farvel Cargo is a blog about family life, kids, husband and dog! Also filled with information on selling and shopping online.

Truly, I enjoyed reading her blog about her kids, her daily rantings and her personal experiences,stories et cetera.

Hey, SUE, thanks for dropping your card on mine and helping both of us earn some nasty Entrecard credits :) Yeas, you were the top dropper of all within these couple of weeks. And thank you all other droppers too. I'll feature any of you guys for second time(after SUE) once you reach maximum drops(this time 20 drops) on mine.



Thank you for reading thus far.

Now the world is progressing much more in science and technology. This is the 21st century where the demand of the technology is more. Information technology made the world smaller and smaller because people can access the whole world from one part of the world. They can shop and get information of the world with one click.

Our country Nepal is quite developing in Information Technology. Nowadays in Nepal different college have started teaching information technology courses to the students. From these courses, student can compete with the international market in IT field. Nowadays, from class II computer education are given to the students in some schools. But the education system of our country is aged. The courses that have been collapsed from the international market are being used in our schools and colleges.

To participate in international market, our education system should be changed and the new system should be raised. From class II to Bachelor level students get bored learning all this history, generation, computer system, and other replicating courses. The market based computer course should be taught in the schools and colleges, so that the unemployment problem can be solved to some extent. If the students get the market based IT course then they can even work in single PC at home and they can earn for their own.
We want to suggest the IT education system of Nepal should be changed and new course should be started which helps the students like us to established our own IT career and work for the country and the unemployment problem of the country can be solved somehow by the youth of the country. Some universities should provide the online graduation course so that student can work while studying. Some of our college say that the student can study in morning class and work in day but after joining the college the morning classes run up to 12PM-2Pm and who will give part time job to those student who have to work and study by the money collected by their work. If such colleges run the online courses, student can learn the course while they are free from the work. We should change the education system of Nepal. If student cannot get the market based courses, how can they work in the market though the course they have learned. So we have to think about that unless the education system of the Nepal is modified, the economic and social status of the country cannot build up.

Found a really neat interesting site which will actually try to tell you things about 2008 US Presidential election. If you are planning to think who is right or who is wrong or If already have best candidates in your mind, may be you would like to think..umm one more time .. by chatting with 2008 US Presidential candidates online??


Backed by artificial intelligence(AI) software based on Zabaware's award winning Ultra Hal engine, the site http://www.askthecandidates2008.com has been incorporated with transcripts of all the presidential debates thus far.

If you are discouraged to find that this is not even a real chat session with the candidates(when i wrote 'techy way', i really meant that jeez), don't worry, all the answers you need/get are as authenticated as you've imagined. The candidates on the site will be bot and they'll answer your questions. Select with whom you want to start dialog,hit your questions and there you are.

I found this interesting because, it answered couple of my questions and that helped me to get an idea on American politics. Its quick and easy but questions have to be genuine. Instinctively, don't ask funny/harsh/profane questions,else the relevancy level of answers would be zero.

Today, i'm posting something out of topic. My topic today is about very unique yet normal human beings. Someone truly has set a notion "Some are born Genius". And, i agree with that. I mean, these extraordinary human beings are none other than the people at their very early ages. I really really wonder how did they achieve such a talents which require ages/years of practice and dedication. For other, it's just a child's play but for child,a mere 6 years old kid himself/herself?? indeed for them too, it's a child's play either. And, when that happens, they usually draw attention of many and we start to think themselves as some gifted people, as some prodigies..

I'm featuring some 7 young talents from hundreds. They are very unique and you'd love to see them.

Chelsea, 6 years old is a great pianist. She doesn't need any notes to look at and play. Indeed an extremely talented girl.
http://chelseadock.com/

Richard Sandrak,now 11 but, something unusual about this young man is that he started bodybuilding since the age of 6. Most probably, he's the youngest and the most strongest guy of his age in this world.
Richard Sandrak

Lucciano Pizzichini, 7 years old, this dude truly rocks. I loved watching this guy when he played a guitar. This 7 years old strumming guitar strings is unique because, no one of his age could concentrate on music and play guitar with that level of professionalism.
Lucciano Pizzichini

Akiana, 12 years old art prodigy whose paints are extraordinarily magnificent and it looks no way done by some 12 years. But that's true, it's her work and according to her, all of her arts are inspired by GOD. She adds, she have been through heaven and talked to god. Strange but true, because, I saw something strange on her art. Something very beautiful. And, i kind of believing her.
Akiana

Kendali, 5 years old extraordinarily gifted drummer. Look at him, and you'll go 'oh my god'
Kendali

Andrey Khlopin,just 10 years old and a great scientist. He tells us about the mystery of transcendent universe. No scientists exist today to tell us what is beyond the Universe but this little guy his own theory. Veteran scientists are shocked and amazed to learn about this theory.
Andrey Khlopin

Jonathan,12 years old violin prodigy. No more words left to admire them. Just amazing :)
Jonathan

I was about to check the referral image to Flickr and when i tried to open, Flickr is like having a massage. Ha ha ha, what a humorous way to make people feel good even if they don't see their photos hotlinking to their sites/blogs.

This downtime normally won't last more than an hour(may be few hours) to my knowledge and i was fortunate enough to experience their downtime. Whatever, it just made me laugh when i saw that ' Flickr is having a massage ' ha ha ha. what an imperative way of implying they are having technical difficulties/server maintenance/data center moving blah blah blah.

Whatever, i liked their idea. what do you say?

Chinese government officials(city inspectors) beat to death a Chinese blogger(Wei Wenhua,41) who filmed their confrontation with villager in Central China.

This has created a kind of flaming issue in Chinese Internet Chatrooms and forums condemning the cowardly act. And, this has alarmed the advocates of press freedom.
An international press freedom group, Reporters Without Borders, protested the killing.
"Wei is the first 'citizen journalist' to die in China because of what he was trying to film," the group said in a statement.
"He was beaten to death for doing something which is becoming more and more common and which was a way to expose law-enforcement officers who keep on overstepping their limits."
In the response, it is said government fired all those involved into the incidents and informed further investigations are running.
Wei Wenhua(blogger)
A scuffle developed when residents tried to prevent trucks from unloading the rubbish, local news(Xinhua) said. And, when Wei took out his cell phone to record the protest, more than 50 municipal inspectors turned on him, attacking him for five minutes. Wei was dead on arrival at a Tianmen hospital, the report said.

It is really a bad news that a blogger is brutally murdered by some government officials.

Few weeks ago, i wrote about Arabian blogger who's whereabouts is still unknown. What's going on, i've no idea. And, contemporary blogger from Nepal, Umesh Shrestha has written dynamic and revolutionary posts depicting real face of then autocratic regime of king. I worry for his well-being because, no one sees whats happening next and I just want to wish him GOOD LUCK and BE SAFE message. The reason for this message is because, bloggers are being targeted for some reasons and more often these days.

Life couldnt be harsher
and i have no reasons left to live
Fear of death exist no more
and i have no emotions left to feel

Break me into millon pieces
and burn my rotten soul
Or throw me into burning flames
throug a millon meter hole

Not that i am leaving you
feel me within
Build your life over my ashes
to forgive all my sins

My shadow is scary
because it reflects me
in my own eyes
your pain i can see

take my sahdow away from me
even though i will feel cold
poke my eyes till
i cant see where to hold

Not that i am leaving you
feel me within
Build your life over my ashes
to forgive all my sins

Stop my breathing
till i suffocate and die
And leave my corpse to rot and
to be eaten by the beast of the skies

Make my death painful
still no pain i will feel
Cut me into pices
so your wounds can heal

Not that i am leaving you
feel me within
Build your life over my ashes
to forgive all my sins


Poem by Nirav aka Speed

Sir Edmund Hillary,88, was rushed to Auckland City Hospital(New Zealand) after a heart attack but passed away this morning at 9 am. He was the great adventurer and humanitarian who set the world's first ever record together with Nepalese Mr. Tenzing Norgay Sherpa to scale Earth's Highest Peak Mt. Everest(Sagarmatha) in 1953.
Sir Edmond HillaryRight now, New Zealand is in deep shock and paying tribute to him. He was a hero of New Zealanders and everyone in the country considered him as a role model. He often described himself as a modest guy but we know he is the emblem of great bravery.

He ended the debate of who reached the summit first by revealing things in his book 'View from the Summit' where he'd written things which he publicly denied to say.

"I continued cutting a line of steps upwards," he wrote.
Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa"Next moment I had moved on to a flattish exposed area of snow with nothing but space in every direction. Tenzing quickly joined me and we looked round in wonder. To our immense satisfaction we realised we had reached the top of the world."

Nepal and Nepalese Sherpas will be always and always grateful towards Sir Edmund Hillary's contributions for whatever he had done good for them, for bringing Rays of hope to poor local people,and for everything he's done with virtuous intentions to uplift the social,economic and education standard of Sherpas. He opened the gate for other westerners. He'll be always remembered and I'm sure, Sherpas and Nepalese are in big grief to learn about this tragic incident, demise of great New Zealander hero Sir Edmund Hillary. May his soul Rest in Peace.

Nokia N95, a strong contender to Apple iPhone, is coming in American markets with a bang. Nokia announced, the optimized version of the popular Nokia N95 will carry a feature to support 850/1900 MHz (HSDPA)high speed downlink packet access. With that, high-speed connectivity will be possible even on Mobile phone which equals or even exceeds the speed of home aDSL connection at some point. So, i would suggest people to try N95 since it has now 3.5G standard. Some Asian and European markets already have N95 with 3G standard where they could use the video telephone services at ease. But with this new 3.5G protocol based Nokia N95 targetted for America's market, it seems obvious that there will be some impact very soon on mobile phone markets.

Features-wise, Nokia N95 comes bundled with 5 megapixel camera Carl Zeiss optics lens,one-click access to Flickr and Vox,8GB of internal flash memory, a 3D graphics processor with ability to play all latest N-Gage 3D games, GPS, and a 3 inch QVGA screen.

Note: HSDPA, is an abbreviated form of High-Speed Downlink Packet Access which is a new protocol for mobile telephone data tranmission. It is known as a 3.5G (G stands for generation) technology. Essentially, the standard will provide download speeds on a mobile phone equivalent to an ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) line in a home, removing any limitations placed on the use of your phone by a slow connection.

What are MSN messenger Worms?
How to recognize them?
How to remove them?
How to prevent them?

What are MSN messenger Worms?

Any kind of worms/virus spreading through the use of Microsoft's IM client Windows Live Messenger/Msn Messenger, is MSN messenger worms/Virus. Normally what happens is if the system is infected with MSN messenger worms/virus, the only threat is that user's information is at risk. Previously, I've seen vicious worms which could transmit the data from the infected computer to worm writers. Besides, the threat level is low unless you don't share important informations across the MSN contacts.

How come latest Antivirus softwares are not detecting them?
Antivirus is not always the solution for variant nature of worms/virus which use IM networks(protocol). I'm writing variant nature, because, everytime, the worm writer puts the new name to it's worm. So, the worm gets new name more often and it goes undetected even by latest Antivirus softwares. After all, IM networks are made to share information and files.

How to recognize them?
-If all of a sudden, your friends(in IM) start asking you about the stuffs you never sent them. (Normally, they'll ask you 'have you sent me some links or photos' if they are smart enough, else they would click/open blindly)
-If you are feeling computer is getting slow(because, they do consume memory and they stay in memory, so they are memory resident)
NOTE: You may never know what's going on under your nose unless someone notifies you.

OR

if you are not infected but your friends whose computer is infected might send you with alluring texts or words without his consent.
"Hey, i've an interesting pictures IMAGE32131.jpg.com? to share with you" and you are given with the link to click


Normally, infected computer would send something like above through MSN messenger

So.. normally, you would see different changes on these words with the same objective, i.e to send you some obnoxious looking(at least for me) file name but trying to deceive people by making it look like JPG(image) file.

Innocent user just sees/reads the IMAGE**.jpg and forgets about another extention IMAGE**.jpg.com or IMAGE**.jpg.exe. Those .com and .exe are the executable file extention, which means it runs automatically, as soon as you double click them thinking to see an image files.

NEVER EVER CLICK any file name ending with .COM or .EXE. They are made to run instantaneously.

I recently got strange message from my friend on MSN messenger and these WORM WRITERS have come up with unique but working formula.
Infected computer sent me asking "
Hey, i've new pictures on facebook.com ..blah blah"
and the name of sent file was "newfacebook.com"
Again, innocent user might think, oh it's from facebook.com and he/she might end up clicking the same .COM extention.

NEVER EVER CLICK any file name ending with .COM or .EXE. They are made to run instantaneously.

How to remove them?
Ummm.. This is the most important part. Couple of years back, during Windows 98 age, i had big fight with these kinds of worms and i always won. But this is Vista age and Vista is not at risk for the time being. And, there are various forms of similar worms existing for XP. Before you try to fight and eradicate this worm, i want you to load one weapon in your arsenal,just for now. Believe me, it's pretty easy.

That weapon is UNLOCKER.
Unlocker is freeware software to detach some files from the system which refuse to get deleted/moved/copied.

Some files refuse to get deleted/moved/copied

You need this because, to kill memory resident worm, it will help you. And why you need it, because, the worm will be deleted instantly. Some msn messenger worms are very stubborn and they don't want you to delete them. so, Unlocker is the solution.

Download from http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/unlocker1.8.5.exe

Once you installed Unlocker, lets get to the business.

1. Run MSCONFIG
-Click 'Start' button --> Run and type 'msconfig' without quotes and hit 'Enter' key
-Now click the 'Startup' tab and carefully examine the suspicious file/item that's starting automatically, everytime your windows starts.
(Oh, lemme tell you something about MSCONFIG. This is small tool in Microsoft Windows which lets you control what to start and what not to start everytime windows runs. It has other things to do too but right now, you don't need to understand more than that.

MSCONFIG SCREEN and check the location of startup file in folder and registry

And, finding suspicious file/item from the 'Startup' is pretty easy. Just see the file/item and try to check their 'LOCATION' and folder location by extending your gaze at the right side of MSCONFIG screen. You'll see where those files/items are stored, you'll also see where those programs are set in the REGISTRY of windows. )

-Once you think you found the suspicious file/item(it could be MsgSprd, Messenger, newfacebook,pic1324,Image etc), uncheck that, click apply and click OK.

Just Don't restart the PC. Click the option which says, you'll restart your PC later time.

2. Click Start-->Run--->type 'Regedit' and hit enter key.
(Regedit will launch the Registry and please don't play around with it beyond my guide. One single mistake/delete of registry key could result useless Operating System and it's hectic going back to safemode.. and so, but don't worry)

If you've noticed the suspicious file name, remember its few initials and on the registry screen, follow this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Under Run, check on the right hand side and see if there is the entry saved for those suspicious files. Delete the one or two which look suspicious entry(Right click the entry and select DELETE key).

Close the Windows Registry. (actually, from msconfig, we did the same thing, but we're making sure with this second step that, it would remove it's traces from registry too)

3. Now, press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC key together and you'll be brought up 'Windows Task Manager' screen
-click the Application tab and from there, 'end task' any suspecting file/item.. only if there is.. else let it be.

4. And, Delete/flush the TEMP folder. In windows XP/98, go to C:\windows\temp and delete all the files from there. If some files refuses to get deleted, use UNLOCKER.
Right click on the file which is refusing to get deleted and select UNLOCKER. From the next screen, select 'Unblock and delete' option and click okay. That's it.

5. Not necessary, but still clean your browser's CACHED temporary files. Delete all offline contents from IE and firefox.

6. Lastly, remove/uninstall your MSN messenger and download latest version from http://get.live.com/messenger/overview

How to prevent them?
After you restarted your computer, my recommendations to your online security are as follows:

Good Firewall: Firewall will block all the access to your computer from remote computer. Firewall gives you control what to choose and what not to choose. If you don't have firewall, you are not safe.

Download COMODO firewall. From there click 'Download Now' button and select the link for 32 bit if your processor is 32 bit or 64 bit, if your processor is 64 bit. Mostly it's 32 bit if your computer is more than a year old or so.
COMODO is super firewall till date i've tried. So, believe my words and download it. Rest follow their online instruction to master this application. It's plain easy

Efficient Antivirus: Antivirus should kill/remove all kind of virus and worms,must consume low memory and so. Look no further, download NOD32(for XP) and follow this link
Follow each and every steps how to successfully installing this antivirus. Regularly update antivirus

Smart Anti-spyware: Words of caution, i've seen bogus anti-Spywares on net. Stay away from them. And always use, SPYBOT - Search and Destroy

This antispyware will remove all the spywares from your computer, so give a thorough scan after you install it and yeah, regularly update it's database too.

With the COMBO of these three, you'll be at least, 99 percent safe on net and use your brain(be smart) for 1 more percent to be hundred percent safe.

NOTE: never accept suspcious files, never open enticing emails, never visit suspicious sites or never install anything from any webpage if you doubt. Happy surfing.
