TALKING CLOUDS What is the chat up there in the sky ?

By VIKI (Copy rights reserved)

Scientists now believe that clouds can communicate with each other. In a nature journal a scientist now says that the clouds out there communicate with each other.

Cloud fields organize themselves in such a way that their components talk with each other and produce periodic rainfall. Scientist Feingold believes earlier scientists already observed this, as early as the 1900's by a scientist known as Graham.

So don't ever think you are alone...You may just have some one to talk to right above you in the bright blue sky

Just see the image above and it will give you a more clear picture of the cloud language...

Is it Blackout for Blackberry India?

It has almost become a part of every Indian Business man’s body. The blackberry that has been such an asset may see its line coming to an end, as the Indian Court will decide its fate. The time line set for Research in Motion (RIM) is August 31st 2010.

The main reason behind attacks on blackberry is because of its encryption system that does not allow governing bodies to intervene and spy through the e-mails and instant messages. So, the Indian government has smelt a rat and suspect that these technological marvels are not only being used by businessmen, but also used by terrorists and other anti-social elements.

There are an estimated 1 million users in the country and the Indian government now wants access in readable format to encrypted blackberry communication.

Blackberry has allegedly put down their guard for US, China and even Saudi Arabia. Will they have to do the same for India?

2 unknown features of i phone 4


There were so many things said for and against this work of art. But in all this mess two cool things about the i phone 4 was almost forgotten to be advertised...

1. Unified contacts: You may have your contact information of the same person at 3 or 4 different locations. Like your phone, mobile me account and even your corporate account. Now, when you sync this information from all three places, there will be only one single contact name with three layers of information in it.

2. Spoken Books: The new I Phone 4 OS gives you an option for to read out your e books, pdf documents and so on.
Just go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility and turn in voice over. Now open a book and tap the first line. Now you can swipe down to make the iphone start reading.

Google Maps makes life easier for bikers Gooycle (Google+Cycle)

Google maps now has an option that will make avid bikers go bonkers. It now allows you to plan your biking trip by giving you the most biker-friendly trail.

Well they have made cycling simpler with three indicators:

Dark green indicates a dedicated bike-only trail;
Light green indicates a dedicated bike lane along a road;
Dashed green indicates roads that are designated as preferred for bicycling, but without dedicated lanes

So all you have to do is go to google maps, key in your starting point and ending point and click on BICYCLING and voila...google does the rest for you. Although this is not very accurate, it is still fun to try out.

The beta version for cyclists is just a few months old. Spanning for more than 200 cities in the US and with plans to go international, there is no way to stop the cyclists now. Google Maps relies on a mash-up of data, from publicly available sources like bike maps to user-generated information.

But the best thing that can happen to this is if it comes as an i phone app.

So if you are a techie and have your old bike stacked up in your garage, well take it out now and gooycle your way...
