New Seven Wonders & Taj Mahal

Oh my god! Save me from mails..

Nowadays, I was recieving umpteen fwds a week which was motivating an Indian to vote for Taj Mahal which is currently in 14 th rank. Couple of weeks before, when I received the first mail, i thought of voting for Taj Mahal, went to new7wonders website. The website asks me to register before voting. I was bored and left the website without voting. Later, I realised this is absolutely dump to select wonder by voting like this and it does not reflect the true wonder of the world.

One, The person who visited all the listed wonders, was only capable of selecting the wonder. Other people, 99% support their favorite wonder, basically its by geography/culture.

Two, SMS/register to vote. This is completely stupid. As there is all possibility for one to make multiple votes.

Three, Voting for Taj Mahal, Wait.. Are you sure of the history of Taj Mahal? do you know, Taj mahal is a vedic temple and its not built by Shah Jahan.(try Google search). Even the history was unsure then.. how can I vote? Its hard to believe what we learned. (Pluto is not a planet.)

Fourth, This is just a media hype. Lets think future of this poll. The tickets of this world renown show were all booked and it seems there was a great profit for the organisation/country conducting poll. This will leads to another Poll and every year, there would be a poll for New Seven wonders, conducted by different countries. (is it another olympics?)

Fifth, Another suggestion for great corporate giants, They too can create their own poll and anounce the results for "Google's Seven Wonders of World", "Yahoo Seven Wonders of World", "Orkut Seven Wonders of World" etc.

Finally, I never felt voting to Taj or any other wonder. I doesn't mean that they are not wonders. The truth was, I have not visited any of them and I was not able to compare them. To me, this Life is the biggest wonder.

Firefox, Revisitied

Last couple of years, Microsoft was kicked back in web arena by Google and Firefox. Anyway this blog is not about firefox vs ie cold war and its all about sharing what i have seen in web today. The First one is the following Cover picture of the book (See Right), where Firefox was eating the blue e!. Its an intuitive thinking with the double meaning. ie = e! and the word Blue E matching ie icon.. When I see this cover, the thing that immediately pops in my mind is that. Mr. Project , a perfect opensource competitor of Ms Project . Microsoft Project or Miss Project. I have seen many instances where Microsoft Often refferred as Miss (Ms). I think she is planning to marry Yahoo to stand against mighty Google.. Lets wait and see.. The next one, is about Firefox 3 which is available in alpha 4. Firefox 3 has heightened my expectation because of its new functionality called FUEL ( Firefox User Extension Language) which seems to reduce the amount of time in developing addon. Already, there ...

Time… runs life

In each and every minute, its time that runs all the life. Be it work, eat or even sleep, its time that determines the action. Some say that Man's life is to kill time and some live life as a service to society. Whatever be the reason behind this life, the hardest truth is that Man is deficit of Time. It can't be saved but it can be made to live. One should always remember "Time is more costlier than money". have to take care of it.. Never turn back, look at the brighter future.. Sorry, Its too bright and so I cant see anything If you think, this blog is my wierd theory on time, you are absolutely wrong. Because It is about softwares that I was using to manage/plan my time with the slight touch of Firefox. The calendar, Be it 30 or 31 days .. its purpose is to plan one's tasks. Here goes the list of calendars I have used so far Diary/Notebook(no computer), Outlook(X), Mozilla Sunbird Firefox Reminderfox addon (Great) (on computer) Yahoo Google (Grea...

Working with Two Monitors

Many times I have wondered, how come a person, able to work on two pc simultaneously, at the same time. I remember in one of the Google Company videos where a guy ( Google Employee ) would be working in two big PC s . It takes me, almost more than a year, to realise that its not two PC s , its just two monitors with extended desktop option provided by the operating system. In those days, it was surprising for me, but now, it was part and parcel of my everyday life. Anyways, Its a great option by which can drag and drop application across the monitors.It was very helpful. Particularly, In my case, as a web application development, where I can code in one monitor and can refresh the browser on the other monitor. If I were doing some documentation. I would open my mail box in the one monitor and keeps doing on the documenting in other monitor. It makes the life simpler and working more effective. ( at the cost of electricity) .. So I would recommend anyone who buys a laptop to buy ano...
