This Day would have been just another day in my life had it been the year before. But it was special this year or maybe??? The day i'll look upon throughout my entire life. For, this day made a big difference and would make a big difference in my life. No Doubts bout it. For this marked a new Beginning,a new journey.... For this day i was returning from Pattukottai,having accomplished the reason for which i went there.
So, while the last post was the prologue to this one ,let me continue with my experiments.... :)
It went like this for two whole days....A bit comical Thou..but it meant serious business for two whole days. Tried my best and applied every bit of my effort..... All to make a Top Spin...
"Mastering the Art of Pambaram Vitting"
I even had a thought of calling up Vijayakanth for tips...But poor guy,he was in a political turmoil then. So yeah,well equipped with a string and the top i started to a vacant place in front of house where i could stealthily undergo the training.
Took tips from everyone and started to apply everything.But net result 0....
Hence i finally decided to resolve the issue applying my Engineering Skills. So sitting down,analysing the planetary data,Gravitational Pull and the earths motion into account ,considering the feedback,changing the angle of inclination etc etc....i started to analyse ,in what all ways i can "Master the Art of Pambaram Vitting"
hmmm....Not to forget how embarrassed i was when kids stared occasionally with a kind of mocking look...hmmm..."avanga Manasula enna Odithho" seeing a grown up guy like me..sitting with a top and the string.....
So here goes my application of physics....
"A rapidly spinning top will precess in a direction determined by the torque exerted by its weight. The preces
sion angular velocity is inversely proportional to the spin angular velocity, so that the precession is faster and more pronounced as the top slows down.The direction of the precession torque can be visualized with the help of the right hand rule.This process involves a considerable number of physical and mathematical concepts. A torque is exerted about an axis through the top's supporting point by the weight of the top acting on its centre of mass with a lever arm with respect to that support point. Since torque is equal to the rate of change of angular momentum, this gives a way to relate the torque to the precession process.The expression for precession angular velocity is valid only under the conditions where the spin angular velocity w is much greater than the precession angular velocity wP. When the top slows down, the top begins to wobble, an indication that more complicated types of motion are coming into play."
Quite a Catchy title...."My Experiments with Pambaram" lol.....hmm....wad to do..Thought of writing "My Experiments with truth"...But enakku munnadi Enga Thaatha Munthikittar....
For Those who donno wad a pambaram is...I give u Few options...
Option 1: Its the Tamil Vernacular Name For "Top ".
Option 2: Ask Our Dear Captain Mr.Vijayakanth
Option 3: Google Around
And if anyone feels that it is unnecesary or unworthy to know about it....Sorry...You got it wrong...
Coz... even silly things have great potential and can bring a big turnaround..Eg.... Price of onions brought down a Government in Delhi ...
So wads bout this Pambaram....It created waves in Tamil Cinema and it made Mr.Vijaykanth's popularity ratings Reach Sky high..
"The Pambaram Mania " caught up with the youth and it can be attributed to Vijayakanths Block Buster movie "Chinna Gounder".
Deeply Immersed into the Books i brought with me....
Shabba....."Etho Kadalukulla Muzhugi yentha Effect... How many days can i feign around with those books?..." Too much Overdose.... :)
Though not completely impressed by those books,but that was the need of the hour...felt so soothing....
And next thing to mention was the "Gavanippu",the way i am treated with, each time i go there.
Everything lined up for me,you can perhaps find most of the commonly seen stuffs in our habitat.Right From Chicken,mutton,Fish,Prawns,Crabs.What else! and what not!...smack smack...
And not to mention about the delicacies like Paagu-Kozhukattai, Kuzhi Paniyaram, Adai etc etc.But Everything comes with strings attached.This time me bulb vaang'ing.
It so Happens,that Everytime I announce and publicise that i am on a diet,things unfold..Maybe This is where murphy comes to play.So people start making special delicacies which i can't resist. Yeah.U Guessed it Right.
" Yen so called much publicised Diet restrictions follow pannatha,not realising that it is a trap filled with love, Nalla Bulb Vaanguvaen :) "
The Day Started off well.As i peeped through the window of the bus,i realised that It was a new world,new vision...No IT corridors,No malls,No multiplexes,No hypermarkets but it had everything i wanted.
Seri seri....
"Enna da ivan puthusa parkara mari sollaraenaenu.Nenaikka vendam...."
But this time it was completely new for me and i realised that i failed to notice it for longtime since i joined my engineering and ravish its beauty for quite some years. Deep inside,i thought to myself what sitting in front of PC 24*7 had resulted in. But Atlast....I was out of it...Atleast for a while....
Greeenery Everywhere!..... Aahan...Guys Wake up!....Naan Nallavan.....am not talking bout that..I meant the Real Green Pastures which we cannot find out at a place like chennai or wadeva,most rightly named "Concrete Jungle"
A thought Just Striked me...If my position is itself in a sorry state...then wad about future Generations...Laughed inside with a thought that perhaps in future we must explain to our children the results after Googling "greenery " and stating...
"Thambi Ithu thaan Greenery,Ithukku paeru thaan Vayal Vezhi,Ithukku paer than Kalathu medu".....and starting off.....
Long long ago...So long ago..But not so long ago....there existed these things ...lol.... :)
hmmm....It was again a Visit to my Chithi's Place. But this time,a visit of a different kind and a different purpose which only a select few know about. Armed with quite a few books like "The monk who sold his Ferrari" and "The Alchemist" ,I made a soulful retreat to her place. No PC,No Internet..... It was just me and the only outlet was my mobile
Following the footsteps Microsoft Zune was formally launched today only to get critics comment on it. Moreover some of them make Microsoft a Laughing Stock...Only to expose that it was particular in delivering the product for matching its rivals in terms of quantity but not "Quality"...The main rival here is iPod which has become a household name and even Sony Corp. Tried in vain only to declare its defeat!...
So here's the Laughing Stock
1. Microsoft Zune ....would work only in "Windows Xp" but not in "Windows Vista"...Thats really Cool...So we might have to look out for some third party vendors to create it soon enough..
"Maybe even the Developers of Zune were'nt given Access to its propreitery Vista's code"..Lol
2.It does not Synchronise with "Windows Media Player 11".Thank God...iPod supports all version of iTunes.
3. Bill Gates expression to the fact that Microsoft signed a multi milion dollor deal with a popular Music Content provider was "hm...is that so"...
So Why Cannot it Dent iPOD?
Microsoft's Zune music player has little or no chance of denting Apple's iPod juggernaut and contrary to all the digital ink spilled on product comparisons and reviews most of the reasons are strategic. Apple has built up quite a moat around its iPod business.
Bottom line: Even if Microsoft's Zune is just a first volley,it has a tough road ahead.
ONE : Apple has managed to integrate the iPod into daily life. Today Apple announced it is partnering with Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM and United integrate the iPod with in-flight entertainment systems. This development builds on an August integration deal with Ford, General Motors and Mazda and a January partnership with Chrysler. Overall, Apple has wormed the iPod into 70 percent of 2007-model automobiles.
TWO: Apple has critical mass to thwart new features on the Zune. The most interesting feature of the Zune is the ability to wirelessly share and download music.
"There won't be enough Zune users to make this feature really sing".
Apple has sold more than 70 million iPods. It could copy Zune's wireless feature and make a huge impact instantly. "The Zune's most talked about differentiator, wireless sharing with other Zunes, will not turn out to be a significant selling point. If, at some point, there are millions of Zunes in the market, the wireless sharing capability may prove to be a more compelling feature.
THREE: Content partnerships. Speaking of critical mass, Apple has lined up more video and music deals with iTunes relative to Zune's market place. While this moat is formidable it may be the easiest to overcome. Why? The entertainment industry is wary of Apple's clout and it can't hurt to have another big player as a counterbalance. The customer experience may be a little harder for Zune to conquer.
FOUR: The grandmother effect. Ask your grandmom about the iPod and you'll get a response. That state of affairs has taken years of marketing to cultivate. The Zune? Still confined to geekdom and one swell launch party isn't going to close the gap soon.
FIVE: The halo effect (or lack of it). If you believe in Apple's so-called halo effect, which dictates that iPod sales lead to Mac sales the reverse could be true with Microsoft. It's the holiday season and Vista's delay is likely to hamper PC sales. Will that impact Zune sales?
But Folks...That was Really an Awesome Attempt made by Microsoft to Dent iPod...But not Atleast for now..Just play it Safe!!..Kudos To Microsoft!...Hope Bill will succeed his usual way to impose Billings on Us ,To Build and Increase the Vastness of his empire and extend his clutches to all walks of our life!!!
Hm.."Belling the CAT"....Seems a well known phrase.But for me it has meant different.I too considered it easy to Bell the CAT...Cmon man..is that difficult to get 60 on 150.Are these people so Dumb!...hm..only then i Began to Realise.."How Dumb I am?"
So no way for me now except to..hope u got it from the picture!!!
hm..Anyway....Last minute preparations are getting along pretty well....hope i will give my Best Shot At it...Hope the tiger turns out to be like "The Bengal Tiger" @ Dada...hm..hope u got it right...

Tamil Movies Next....Hm...its been quite some time that orkut'ing has become popular in India and Of Course my Engineering College(Supposed to be)....There has Been quite a confrontation and cold war going on between us and our Lab Administrators...
Reason...."www.orkut.com"......hm..we guys are deeply engrossed in it nowadays and often end up opening a secret window of IE during lab hours.......
Hmm...Atleast they must have been happy that we were doing some work rather than posing before screens ,acting too smart like doing the lab excercises.....
So it ended up like one day...the most expected thing happened..."THEY BLOCKED ORKUT"...hm..Guys were a bit dissapointed until they found use of proxy servers...But not too fast..."Kproxy.com" was also forbidden soon...and this went on...Like we guys think intelectually and search at home for smartest access and new sites for using as proxy..But it wud work out only for some days....the thing wud be out and BINGO itll b blocked ....
Hm...But some of us needn worry bout that...hahaha...No worries..But we continued to use "ORKUT"....at any time aniwhere in lab and we didn worry about the whole "Forbidding " stuff....
hm..Because we used the "Worlds Mostly Used Server" for our proxy activities...But many till now do not know that it even serves as a proxy...We are talking about none ather than.."www.Google.com"....
Hm...still wondering if its true...Ssssh....ill tell you how to work thru it...This is a Reward for those who sincerely read my blog full of mokkai....
here it goes...http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.whatismyip.com
So let me tell u how it goes..."just place ur website address in place of "www.whatismyip.com"..so if its orkut...then
http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.orkut.com
Bingo it works...And the catch here is..this is actualy a translator service..."translate?langpair=en|en" here en indicates "English"...So actually u are using google for ur proxy service...Cool isn it..
So here is the reall challenge for admins...which of course is nearly impossible to win...The only way this wudn work is the Admin Blocking "www.Google.com".....But that isn possible....So Caught in the own Trap....
So Guys what are you waiting for....Are You Ready To Rock!!!
Put about 100 bricks in no particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.
If they are counting the bricks. Put them in the accounts department.
If they are recounting them. Put them in auditing.
If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks. Put them in engineering.
If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order. Put them in planning.
If they are throwing the bricks at each other. Put them in construction.
If they are sleeping. Put them in reception
If they have broken the bricks into pieces. Put them in IT.
If they are sitting idle. Put them in human resources.
If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved. Put them in sales.
If they have already left for the day. Put them in marketing.
If they are staring out of the window. Put them on strategic planning.
And then last but not least.
If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved.
Congratulate them and put them in management !!!

யார் யார் சிவம்?......நீ நான் சிவம்....அன்பே சிவம்....
It's Been quite some time ,since I have been answering to those queries in Yahoo Answers!!..The Idea was cute and implementation went right but still many went wrong ,is still going wrong. Nothing in the Part of Yahoo..
The whole Idea Behind is to query and get the answers from HomoSapiens.This goes fine.You might find a very Genuine Question Like
"What Is Bit Torrent"
"Wads new in Vista"
Hm..but don be surprised to see questions as dumb as:
"Can You Find My Real Name ? I'll Award 10pts to the one who Finds !!"
And there are Even Dumb question like..
"Hey How is my new Avatar"
Hm...So there are so many such people out there...So one thing is certain..
I'm Not a Loner...I've Got Company!!!
SO..ya..Technical interview started...My future associated arrived..hm..So i was waiting eagerly for my turn while i knew that they took a whopping 30 mins for each person...Everyone were in their toes asking each other wadeva they didn know..hm..the only answer I gave to someone who asked me queries from the sylabus was "Sorry..I donno"...
Finally my turn came...Entered there and introduced myself to them....Many advices had been given how to sit in the panel..but i just was myself.hm..the first question they asked was "Tell me About Yourself!!"...hm..I cudn believe if I told it...hm..Lotsa stuffs..and ya..they extended a warm smile after it....
Then was it..They travelled thru my syllabus..Asked about my project.Then was the most expected...they asked bout the paper i was working on and my favourite subject Software Engineering....hm..I think it gave that extra leap....
Finally when everything was over.they asked "do you have any questions"...Hm..tht was where bang came the reply from me...
"Tell my about eClearSettle ,a product of yours".....
Hm..they looked at each other and asked whether it was their product...hm..I Made it..I said ..Of course yes!!..hm..
Finally they gave up saying.."I am not in that Domain!!"
hm..So i thought they wud not offer me a job coz of it but it was vice versa...
God..I made it To Managerial Review!!
Hm...Some kinda feeling..though i was not particular about TCS..But...butterflies in my stomach...Its only because I cudn lay my hands on the Books in one night..
Hm..Everything Started but ya....As usual the Comedy of errors started for me..Ok ppl...have a Nice Laugh..
Hm...After crafting my resume for long time when i showed it too my placement officer...Omg..u must've seen that Reaction...She cud've have shouted at me...but she was very kind enough that she juz asked me to type one immediately..rather than making me tense...hm..The only reason for that is that I split my marks Semesterwise...but later it didn work out as TCS people were smart enough to as for split up..
Hm..Resume at the eleventh hour..I became tensed when my staff came to Rescue...God..I'd never Forget Mr.Mahendran who was kind enough that he said he'll type while i prepare for the Interview.Cudn Imagine wad wud have happn'd if he wasn there...Thanx a Lot sir...
hm..it didn stop there...when i was to wear my tie did i notice my shirt didn have a collar button...hm..Thank God my pal Santhosh had a spare shirt to spare for me...
Now i smiled back at my fate..but it wasn so soon...I again made that Wicked smile...
What an Idiot I wad..My tie didn have loop in it...My fate carved a mickey out of me..
Finally hm..Everything was ready ..but ya not so soon...Now damn with my resume..It had my Year of passing 10th was 2000 instead of 2001...hm...Fate....hm...but I decided to fight it back!!
hm..It was a Nice Morning..Didn Think that it be a Dawn in my life...Hm..
"Ethu Nadakka koodathunnu Ninacheno ath Nadanthuruchu"
Everyone buzzing with activities...Barrons,Agarwal..wad else..Everything we had ..Right from Wordlist to previous year Question papers...hm..Everyone were Learning..hm..me as usual was vetti..Some even asked prepare for the Aptitude Test...hm....I replied...
Pongada...neenga venumna paarunga...Puthusa oru q'paper koduthu Aapu adikka porannu ....hm..Yaaruku theriyum
Finally they led us to the online test room....hm....the hype was so much..The previous batch only 8 out of 70 qualified...hm..but hm..I wasn so interested in TCS....so i didn care a bit bout it...
To add upto my woes the first two system I sat had problems in it..and the staff asking me to not get tensed up..
So the Screen opened and the tests started....Gosh...hm..the Verbal Department...hm..I didn even know a single answer to any of the antonyms and synonyms...But Elimination led me a helping hand..so instead i concentrated on the Fill in with Correct Sentences...Then Came the Quantz...HM..that was really Nice one indeed...the paper was somewhat new and challenging and was a bit easy and not to forget the critical reasoning...hm..
Finally i decided that...hm..No chance of getting thru and i walked to the door when i heard someone saying "who's is the machine "..It was then i knew that i made it..I was happy not only for that but my Friends too got selected!!..hm...So hm...to the next stage...."Interviews"
hm..Already late in the Night...hm..So have to give my best shot..so started collecting some details about them..
Tata's ....here I come...hm..
hm...So the First Company to come for placement is TCS...hm..the Tata's...Hm..juz the thing i feared the most.I expected Infosys to be the first Coz I love that Company...A Damn Kool Company...okok...HM..I know the meaning of that stare..Not that I would be placed before it..but juz oru hm..mb .."Perum aasai."...
To me I'd like to be placed in Either the Tata's or the Infy coz they are Indian...
hm..
for me..Infosys -Best Company ; Nandan Nilakeni -Best CEO
TCS - Good Company ; Rama Dorai -Good CEO
hm..god only knows..where im going to be...
Hm...Finally the Exams are over...hm..okok..hm..not that im that kinda person with his head always engrossed in books....but im quite happy that i know a few things more coz...
"Yeh Dil Maange More...."
So the Exam fever has subsided and normally the next fever to catch would be the result fever...But this Time its different..We have a new kinda Fever On the Prowl in my college...Hm...the placement fever..I'm not an exception it caught me too but ...haha...
Like vadivelu says .."Haiyoo...Haiyoo"...hm.in the war that lasted I won..Hm...To be frank while other were very much deeply engrossed in those aptitude books I relied on my Attitude...Okok..No Staring Please..Juz..oru Build up....Ya i juz browsed internet doing all those vetti stuffs like Chatting etc...
Google...Has once again proved its mettle.Latest on its acquisition spree,sketchup seems to be worth every penny.Simple to the core but pretty effective so that hm...EVEN I CAN CREATE QUITE A GOOD 3-D MODEL.....hm.Google seems to catch up Microsoft and Yahoo quite fastly than anyone could imagine.Its worth a try for anybody.
So do you want to create your own wonder, just login to Google earth ....and bingo you can place your model anywhere in the world.

So what is so sarcastic ?.....As said before the election promises have gone to a very great extent that if we as a group of people approach any political party esp. of Ayya and Amma with a need...Bang you can be sure its in their manifesto next hour...So here is a glimpse of gimmicks...hm...who knows...Maybe Reality..Hm..Expressing it in regional language would be more suitable with expression ...hence people knowing Tamil Read it that way....
So these are following the recent campaign in the regional party channels in Tamil Nadu and most of the Complement is to Mr.M.Karunanidhi....
1. This is a conversation between a Anna University student and The Party........It goes like.
Student: Aiyoo !!!What is this..Can we not pass without an arrear?...And can we atleast clear the Arrears so far.
மாணவன்:ஐயோ...நாங்க அரியர் இல்லாமல் பாஸ் ஆக முடியாதா..இல்லை குறைந்ந பட்சம் இருப்பவைகளை பாஸ் ஆக முடியுமா!!!
Then there is a music played for the party and a cadre replies......
டட் டட் டடட டன்....
Cadre: Then vote for Rising sun...If we come to power we will write off your arrears as we write off debts for the poor farmers.
வேட்பாள்ர்:உதய சுரியனுக்கு ஓட்டு பொடுங்க...நாங்க ஆட்சிக்கு வந்தால் உங்கள் அரியர்களை தள்ளுபடி செய்கிரோம்...
hm....So is this the end .....Lots more but I think the space and time is not enough..............
This is the continuation of my previous post....So indeed they've found even more water seems to write their manifestos.The all great Amma has announced a Computer for every passout of 12th.Hm....So is there really that much money out there...
God I Know that our's is indeed a country rich in resources...but we can't go by that....One saying comes across my mind now...It goes like.."India is a Rich country infested by poor people"..Hope you got it....So As per our dear Vijayakanth Style..."in Tamilnadu there are more than 1000's of higher secondary schools and annually 7lakh students write their +2 out of which 36,000
are in private ,out of those there are 4lakh students passing out each year,out of which 40,000 enter engg college and if there is a PC for every student and for the government if it takes 10,000 for each PC then it tunes upto 400 crores"..Gosh its an accountable percentage of our annual fiscal deficit and not to mention about other sops(Ssshh.....sops turn to sobs after each election)...Oops....hm..I can't even write this how come our captain spoke in films...Hats off to him....Captain Vaazhga....
Now lets wait for the even more interesting sops by our sweet old Ayya!!!
It seems there is plenty of water after those floods...You might think what this has to mean with one discussed below..Hm..I think many know about the fact "Election manifestos are written in water"....Come election you'll have plenty of them to see...then comes reality..By the time the results are out in Tamil Nadu...
Either of this two happens.
1.The water gets Dried up due to scorching sun
2.The water get stale because the leaves block sunlight.
Come election you will know the creativity of our dear Indian Politicians...Even the bigwigs at Google needs to learn a Lot from them.People from Google might make innovative things out of something,but people her build up things out of nothing..Indeed nothing....
So what's the height of creativity...Colour TV's for poor,Rice at throwaway price,Monthy stipend for unemployed youth,acres of land for everyone...hm...what not...
So barely you can indeed come to a conclusion about wad the want us to do...
Sit at home ,See programmes in colour of their channels,Eat well and spent the money given as stipend...hm..So what a great Marketing strategy to improve their revenue and make people stop to think....Think Think Think....
And about feasibility about it...when you ask how about money for it...Bang comes the reply..."World bank provides us loans"...hm...man so is it really free...You indeed have to pay for this crap .....And they reap home with power and money.....Rest continued in next post...
I had a very good time indeed.It was a very good outing.Two days of On-duty ,allowance for travel,free accomodation,lots of new friends ,another new experience...What else would one ask for?...
We went to a college in Trichy to present our paper and to my knowledge it was quite successful indeed and we walked home with the Third prize.Right from the time we stepped in we had a very nice time.The first day started off well with initial problems of accomodation etc.But later we came across many friends from various institutions and got to know of each other soon.
The next day was our event and we did well enough and was quite sure to walk away with atleast the second until the last one came on stage.Gosh!! what language did she speak in....Then i came to know it was English..Hm...her accent was so fine indeed so that i was reminded of "What you say does'n matter but How you say matters a lot!!".....
But on the whole...It was a good outing away from lecture classes...
Hm...It was Indeed a wonderful day for me...Hm...wait...I'll think whether started off the day with my first glance on Fox's face....Hm....I think no...Oh..Yes..I looked myself in the mirror....okok...I think ill stop here....Romba overnu ..I think...
The student people from Microsoft,the company I admire came to our college. To put away juz like that they were just playing the job of marketing executives,marketing the long awaited Microsoft Visual Studio .Net .It went just like that.It started off with a presentation of the company(Not to mention as the brand name, too creative so that people at least look at it out of queer inquisitiveness).
They gave away hm...quit a good number of prizes by asking some of the general questions.But one thing was quite clear.They were not indeed interested to test anybody's knowledge but were interested in giving away the goodies ,All of them embossed with "Microsoft" brands so that it would enhance their advertising coverage.
But it was indeed a good time to be spent away from our regular theory classes.At least we were awake during those times rather than spending half-awake sessions of theory classes.
"Rang de Basanti"...Its the best of any movies "I" hm...can I put it like "We" have seen...I can really say that there might not be even one Indian who hasn liked it.It was a movie brought out differently ...Bringing out the emotions of youth and rekindling their spirits.It really has sparked a great revolution indeed with the youth of India.It has made the young minds of my country to foray into politics rather than sitting in their work desks and finding fault..As a whole it a must see movie for all Indians especially the young minds....
Intel expects its forthcoming Conroe and Merom chips to deliver a performance advantage of at least 20 percent over chips from AMD that are slated to be released at the same time.Merom and Conroe are expected to launch for notebooks and desktops, respectively, in the second half of this year.
The awkwardly titled Next-Generation Micro-Architecture is yet to receive a catchy name like Netburst, the Pentium 4 architecture it is replacing. Intel has already disclosed a few details about NGMA. It uses 14 pipeline stages instead of the 31 used by Intel's Pentium 4 processors. Information is processed through a processor's pipeline. The more stages in the pipeline, the less work each individual stage performs, requiring the chip to run very fast and therefore very hot. Intel has moved away from that design strategy in favour of smaller pipelines that do more work per stage, and can therefore run at slower clock speeds.
The microarchitecture also allows the processor to issue four instructions per clock, rather than three, as on Intel's current chips. It uses advanced branch prediction technology borrowed from the Pentium 4 designs. And chips built on that microarchitecture will also share the unified cache introduced with the Core Duo processor.Chips built with NGMA will use 4MB of cache memory.Unifying the caches on a dual-core processor improves performance by expanding the amount of cache each core can make use of, which will produce a huge improvement on single-threaded applications that only use a single core, he said.The combination of all those architectural changes will allow Intel to outperform AMD's planned offerings for the second half of 2006 without having to resort to adopting AMD's integrated memory controller design.
Intel has been hesitant to embrace the integrated memory controller since the failure of its last attempt to use such a design. Integrating the memory controller allows that vital gateway between the CPU and the memory to run at the speed of the processor, whisking data into the processor at high speed. But it also forces the processor to be designed specifically for a certain type of memory, which doomed Intel's Timna processor when its integrated memory controller was designed for Rambus' short-lived RDRAM standard.Instead, Intel will count on its microarchitectural improvements and a faster front-side bus to deliver the 20 percent improvement in performance over AMD's chips, based on standard benchmarks.
AMD is not planning any major architectural changes to its processors this year, but it does plan to introduce support for DDR2 memory. That memory standard can reach faster speeds than the current DDR memory used by AMD's chips, which will improve the performance of AMD-based systems.
At last the bid for the Delhi Airport goes to GMR- Fraport.GMR beeing an India based company, dealing in construction and infrastrucure development holds only a chunk of share while the lion's share is occupied by Frapport,a France based organisation managing the Frankfurt International Airport.
Don't be surprised to see a board hung in front of airports reading "Indians Not Allowed",prepare for another fight for liberty in the near future.All this selling of India is beeing termed privatisation,modernisation and what not. So in this country having a population of whopping 100 Crore ,isn't there a single person who can manage and develop our infrastructure in airports.Should we do a "Call for" to corporates from foreign nations to manage our airports under the name of modernisation.
If the Malaysian and Singapore governments can manage their airports very well then why not the Indians?. Not only the former manage their's very successfully but they are even ready to manage airports in India.So should we rely on others especially foreign governments rather than doing it ourselves.It just reminds me of India in the hands of the British.But the only difference this time is that we ourselves want them to take over us.

Apple's chief executive Steve Jobs on Tuesday served up the first Intel-based Macs, introducing a new high-end laptop and a revamped iMac.
The new machines both include Intel's Duo dual-core chip. The iMac will come in the same sizes and sell for the same prices as the current models, but the Intel chips make it two to three times faster, Jobs said. A new laptop computer, called the MacBook Pro, will be available in February, he said.In addition to the crop of new Macs, Jobs announced a new version of the iLife suite that adds a tool " iWeb" designed to make it easy to create Web sites with video, audio and blogs, and new features meant to simplify the sharing of photos over the Web and the creation of podcasts.
Jobs said Apple would transition to an all-Intel line-up of Macintosh computers by the end of 2006.The release of the new Macs comes just seven months after Jobs shocked the computer world with an announcement that Apple would move to Intel Chips, after years of using the PowerPC hardware made by IBM and Motorola.Jobs said last June that Apple would have computers ready to ship by June of this year. Beating that mark by almost half a year will help ease a transition some feared would result in several quarters of diminished sales.
Once released in February, the MacBook Pro line of laptops will include a £1,429 model running at 1.67GHz and featuring a 15-inch screen. That version will also come with an 80GB hard drive and a new infrared sensor to use with the Apple Remote control device. A second version will feature an 1.83GHz processor and a 100GB hard drive and cost £1,779."The MacBook Pro is the fastest Mac notebook ever, obviously," Jobs said.The company's consumer applications, including iLife, will run natively on the new Intel processors starting immediately, as well as on the Power PC chip. Professional audio, video and photo applications will be updated in March, and customers will be able to buy a "crossgrade," or new version of the existing software.
Most other applications will run smoothly by using the translation software called Rosetta, which will come with every new Intel-based Mac, he said. Microsoft's Office will be one of those applications.Microsoft Mac Business Unit General Manager Roz Ho joined Jobs onstage to say that the software powerhouse is moving ahead to create an Intel-based version of Office. She announced a deal between Apple and Microsoft under which Microsoft will continue creating new versions of Office for Mac for a minimum of five years.
The "commitment should leave no doubt in your mind that we're here to stay, and we're in it for the long term," Ho said.The quick release of the Intel-based products has left some developers, who expected a few more months before release, scrambling to transfer their own applications over to an Intel-compatible version. Code written specifically for that hardware will typically run faster than software written for the PowerPC chips, but using the Rosetta translation software.
Some of the largest developers have already done considerable work, and are nearly ready to release product.Developers are starting to release Intel-based versions of their products too, but they hadn't been warned of the change in the release schedule, Jobs said.
Leaving no doubt that Apple would launch a marketing blitz around the Intel-based machines, Jobs showed off a new advertisement introducing the products. Reminiscent of the "1984" commercial that touted the first Macintosh computer, it painted the new line of products as a liberation for the Intel chip itself.For years, the Intel chip has been "trapped inside PCs — dull little boxes, dutifully performing dull little tasks", the ad says. "Starting today, the Intel chip will be set free, and get to live life inside a Mac."
