Tied with Love,,,,,.........

May no gift be too small to give, nor too simple to receive, which is wrapped in thoughtfulness and tied with love."

Never deny love ...............

If we deny love that is given to us, if we refuse to give love because we fear the pain of loss, then our lives will be empty, our loss greater."

Love...........

"There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning."

Start Loving Yourself.............


Start Working...........

What u are waiting for........

Please help me in cleaning our mind from the hatred & dishonesty
Start Loving YOURSELF & Others.

1 & 2

When two people are at one in their inmost hearts, they shatter even the strength of iron or bronze; and when two people understand each other in their inmost hearts, their words are sweet and strong like the fragrance of orchids".

Before you do anything......

Before you do anything, think. If you do something to try and impress someone, to be loved, accepted or even to get someone's attention, stop and think. So many people are busy trying to create an image, they die in the process.

Love me ................

"Love me now, love me never, but if you love me, love me forever."

"I've made the most important discovery of my life. It's only in the mysterious equation of love that any logical reasons can be found". John Forbes Nash, in A Beautiful Mind

5 Sites That Are Better Than Google


How much do I love Google? Thanks to the stats provided by Google Web History, it's easy to quantify: Over the past four and a half years, I've Googled for information 43,295 times. That works out to about one search per hour, 24/7/365. If that doesn't indicate passion for the world's most popular search engine, I don't know what does.

But I'd never argue that Google is always the fastest, most effective way to find facts, seek advice, take actions, or simply satisfy your curiosity about the world around you. Actually, there are more viable Google alternatives than ever. For the most part, they don't compete by trying to out-Google Google at basic Web searching. Instead, they do useful things that Google doesn't.

I'm nowhere near as dependent on any of these five free services as I am on Google -- but I use and recommend them all.

When Microsoft relaunched its blah Windows Live search engine as Bing last year, it didn't just give it a different name and a fresh coat of paint. The new version is Google's most formidable competitor for general-purpose Web searching, with numerous nice touches -- for instance, you get playable previews of videos right in search results.

Microsoft smartly chose to put extra effort into a few key areas, such as its travel section, which is uncannily similar to the excellent Kayak.com. You can enter dates and locations for plane tickets or hotel stays, then get a grid of results that you can further refine -- to direct flights only, for instance, or to hotels with swimming pools. It'll even tell you whether you're likely to save money if you postpone making a reservation a while longer.

Aardvark is a free service (located at Vark.com) whose members serve as a panel of experts on an array of topics. You can ask questions via e-mail or your favorite instant-messaging service; Aardvark relays them to people who it thinks may know about the subject, then collects their answers and delivers them back to you.

It works well when you'd rather get quick advice from a few real knowledgeable people than scour Google results for relevant links on a question such as "Should I buy a mountain bike, a road bike, or a hybrid to ride around San Francisco?" When you belong to Aardvark, it gives you the chance to play expert too, by sending you questions from other users on matters you're interested in.

Wolfram|Alpha calls itself a "computational knowledge engine," but I think of it as a 21st-century equivalent of a thick, fact-packed paperback almanac. It's a vast repository of knowledge skewing towards the mathematical and scientific that you can explore by entering questions.

For purely factual, objective, simple questions such as "What's the wind chill in Barcelona?," "How old was Theodore Roosevelt when he died?," and "What was the population of the U.S. in 1970?," there's nothing better. It also knows the calories in a Big Mac (805). And it'll even tell me the chances that I'll win California's MegaMillions lottery if I enter (1 in 175,711,536).

If you already use Twitter, you know that one of the best things about the ridiculously trendy social network site is the bevy of links that members share to news stories and other interesting stuff. But you don't need to be a Twitter maniac to use it to find worthwhile links on timely topics. In fact, you don't even need to have a Twitter account.

You'll find a Google-like search engine at search.twitter.com that returns 140-character "tweets" from Twitter members, often containing links to articles around the Web. (I used it Monday morning to find interesting tidbits relating to Sunday's Super Bowl commercials.) It's a good way to dip your toe into the Twitter stream without getting overwhelmed or making a commitment.

Siri, which debuted last week, is surely the first iPhone app that's the commercialized result of a multimillion-dollar Defense Department research project. It's a "virtual personal assistant" that uses voice recognition, your GPS location, and links to local information and services to respond to requests you speak into an iPhone 3GS.

You can ask Siri to call you a taxi, or to reserve a table at the best nearby sushi joint, or to tell you who's playing at a local concert venue. The voice-recognition part works just about perfectly. And it all feels like a sneak preview of how we'll get and use information in the future, even though I'm occasionally disappointed by the results (Siri occasionally recommends local businesses based on skimpy data.)

Key Climate Change Data Laden With Errors

A science blogger uncovered a catalogue of errors in records that form a key part of the scientific evidence for global warming, it emerged Tuesday.

The mistakes, which led to the data from a large number of weather stations being discarded or misused, were overlooked by professional scientists and only discovered when Britain's national weather service, the Met Office, made data publicly available in December after the so-called Climate-gate e-mail scandal.

Although the errors did not alter the bigger picture on climate change, they were seized upon as a further sign that scientific institutions were not sufficiently transparent.

"It makes you wonder how many other problems there are in the data," said John Graham-Cumming, the programmer who spotted the mistakes. "The whole idea of doing science without releasing your data is quite worrying."

After being alerted of the problems last month, the Met Office issued a corrected version of its land-based temperature record on its Web site.

"We are grateful to Dr. Graham-Cumming, but they are quite minor changes," said Peter Stott, head of climate monitoring and attribution at the Met Office.

"It shows how open we are. We have put an exhaustive amount of information out there to show people exactly what we do."

The errors related to the calculation of the average global temperature trend since 1850, based on measurements from land-based thermometers. The record is regarded as one of the most robust pieces of empirical evidence for global warming during the past century.

After trying to reproduce figures shown in scientific publications and on the Met Office Web site, Graham-Cumming identified a number of problems with the way measurements from Australian weather stations were averaged.

He found that data from seven stations was discarded. Data from a further 112 Australian stations, 28 percent of the total, were not being fully included in calculations of year-on-year temperature differences.

"I'm not a climate skeptic, I think it's pretty sure that the world is warming up, but this does show why the raw data and not just the results should be available," he said.

During the checking procedure, Met Office officials discovered further problems with U.S. temperature calculations. They realized that 121 of the U.S. stations did not have unique identifier codes, meaning that data for these stations was either being overwritten or assigned to the wrong location.

When all of the errors identified were corrected, the temperature trend remained well within the 95 percent confidence range of the original plot, meaning that the difference would not be considered scientifically significant.

love is.........

"Love is just an abbreviation for everything we have ever wanted to say about that one person who truly means something to us, all wrapped up in a tiny four-letter box".

Future Group and Tata Teleservices launches GSM mobile services branded T24

Future Group, one of the largest retail chain in the country, has tied a knot with Tata Teleservices to lunch GSM mobile services in the Indian market. This revolutionary service got a fantastic name T24. Tata Teleservices will explore the concept of a marketing coalition between Retailer and Telecom operator by signing this agreement. The Future group will also give some extra talk time to customers on its sales and the company has launched this service with a very invoking tag line Shop more, Talk more and Talk more Shop More’.

Future Group has also explored similar arrangement with Virgin Group in order to offer mobile telephonic services. The CEO of Future Group even said that its customers will get surely shopping advantages for talking and talk-time benefits each time they shop at Future Group and will make sure that this idea will be completely based on dedication, commitment and trueness for its customers.

This service will also strengthen the company’s presence in the consumption space—in keeping with their vision of offering an incomparable shopping experience to their true-hearted customers, cutting across product and industry categories.

Managing Director TTSL, has said that this is a fresh, unequaled mobility brand that they have launched and is going to be acquirable to people who shop at any of the Future Group Outlets. So when they shop they also have the chance to talk. They will also give all details regarding the plan as they gradually set-up this service. They are right now working on those details and hopefully they will launch it in about 90 days time.

The Company has not yet revealed the details about the tariffs but said that the service will provide a free airtime to consumers who shop at any of the Future Group Stores and that airtime will be linked to their shopping in some way.

Noticing on TTSL's growth the Managing Director said that the company has added 3 million customers in January already. He even said that till December the company had 57 million subscribers and the company was still waiting for GSM spectrum in Delhi, the nineteenth circle.

The Analysts has given a report saying that Future Group’s 1,000 stores across 61 cities reaching subscribers would be easy for the Future Group and the principle behind the group entering an already herded space with multi-SIMs and lowered ARPUs was not clear.

love

"Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence." Goncourt

Notion Ink Adam tablet specs released



Notion Ink Adam tablet specs released


The Notion Ink Adam Tablet is one of the first devices due out with a Pixel Qi display and NVIDIA Tegra 2 chipset. If you put those things together, what you get is a heck of a lot of positive buzz for a product from a company that most people hadn’t heard about before CES. But it looks like Notion Ink is a few steps closer to bringing the Adam to market. Today the company posted the specs for the tablet on its web site, and tech blog Technoholik has snagged some hands-on photos of what looks like a production sample (as opposed to the rendered images we saw last week or the handcarved wooden prototype I saw at CES in January).

So here’s what we know about the tablet. It has a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel matte (non-glossy) touchscreen which can function as a full color display or as a high contrast (almost black and white), low power display that’s easily readable in direct sunlight. It has a Tegra 2 chipset which combines a low power dual-core ARM A9 CPU with enough graphics power to play 1080p HD video.

The tablet has a 3 cell battery, which should run for up to 16 hours in full color mode. Technoholik claims you’ll get up to 160 hours with the backlight off, but I’m pretty certain that’s not true, since the folks at Pixel Qi tell me you should generally expect to save just a few watts of power by shutting off the backlight. They’re also working on software that will afford greater power savings by allowing the CPU to shut down when the screen is inactive – for instance, when you’re reading an eBook and only need the CPU to power up to flip pages. But I don’t think that technology is available yet.

The Adam tablet supports 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth, 2.1 and 3G wireless. And it has a 3.2MP camera that you can rotate so it faces the front or back of the tablet, allowing you to snap pictures or use the tablet as a webcam.

There are 3 USB ports, an HDMI output, A-GPS, and an accelerometer. It will weigh about 1.4 pounds and measure just about half an inch thick.

What we still don’t know is the final price or when the Adam Tablet will be available.

Update: SlashGear has more photos, plus a demonstration of the Adam running Adobe Flash, something that rival tablet the iPad can’t do. What’s interesting is that the Adam uses the Google Android operating system, which doesn’t officially support Flash yet either. So either that’s about to change this week at Mobile World Congress, or Notion Ink has some pretty neat tricks up their sleeves.

'My Name Is Khan' earns Rs 250 mn on opening day

NEW DELHI: Controversies notwithstanding, the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "My Name Is Khan" has gone on to rake in around Rs 250 million (about $5.3
million) across the globe on the opening day.

Directed by Karan Johar, "My Name is Khan" was released on Friday.

"We are delighted with the performance and audience reactions across demographics. More so, because this is only phase one of the film release," Vijay Singh, CEO of Fox Star Studios India, the Indian distributors of the film, said in a statement.

"In addition to the release across 45 countries, MNIK will be rolled out in a phased manner across 25 non-traditional markets from April onwards."

The film features Shah Rukh as Rizvan Khan who embarks on a journey across America to win back the love of his life, played by Kajol. It shows how, along the way, his personality touches the lives of many and inspires a nation.

The movie is being marketed and distributed by Fox Star in India, in the US by its sister company Fox Searchlight and in the rest of the world by parent group 20th Century Fox International.

In New Zealand, the opening day collection was about $9,727 while in the Middle-East, the movie is already 50 percent higher than any other previous film in Bollywood with the earning estimated at $300,000.

There's also a huge demand for additional prints in the existing chains across the Middle East and the print count is expected to increase to around 60 by next week.

According to Fox, the film also will be released in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Oman and Lebanon in the coming week.

In terms of paid previews, the movie earned about $193,000 from 89 sites in Britain, which is said to be the highest for a single-day preview there. In Australia Thursday, paid previews collected around $34,000 and it ranked number 11.

MY NAME IS KHAN smashes records worldwide

Shah Rukh, Karan Johar & Fox come together to rewrite Box Office history as MNIK smashes all previous international box office records to record the highest-ever single opening day collections for a Hindi film worldwide.


Just when the industry believed that 3 Idiots had set records which would be stay for a long time, box office Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan's MY NAME IS KHAN looks set to break it just six weeks later!

Despite having a limited release in Maharashtra, Gujarat and parts of Madhya Pradesh on Friday, MNIK's worldwide box office collections are estimated at Rs. 25 crores for Friday! This is the highest ever collections for a non-holiday Friday in Bollywood history. Trade analysts estimate that it could have easily earned an additional 5-6 crores if it had been released normally across India. With the film playing everywhere across the country from Saturday onwards and given the strong buzz, this number is only expected to grow.

WORLDWIDE RECORDS

On the first day outside India, almost every record for Bollywood films was broken globally. Internationally, it is the biggest International opening day by almost 30% of its closest competitor, 3 Idiots.

UK BOX OFFICE RECORDS

In the UK, MNIK previewed on Thursday with an incredible £123k from 89 sites, 4th in the market place behind Avatar, The Wolfman Previews and Invictus.

In this market, MNIK has broken the record for the biggest GBO preview figure for any Bollywood release. The biggest single day preview figure in the UK was previously KANK with £98k.

The biggest total previews figure was 3 IDIOTS which had 2 days of previews (Wed/Thu) during the Xmas holiday period with £121k. MNIK single day previews are bigger than both days of 3 Idiots put together!

It is expected to be the biggest opening Bollywood film ever in this market by the weekend.

ANZ RECORDS

In Australia, Thursday previews of "MNIK" grossed a very good A$39K (US$34K). The movie is ranked #11 in the market. This is 107% of 3 Idiots Thursday BO.

In New Zealand, opening day took LC$ 13,627 (US$ 9,727). Bollywood films traditionally open on a Friday. The exception is 3 Idiots, against which MNIK has over-performed by 204%.

MIDDLE EAST RECORDS

The film is already 50% higher than any other previous film in Bollywood history with an opening day estimated at USD 300k.

There's a huge demand for additional prints in the existing chains across the Middle East and the print count is expected to increase to around 60 by next week.

Given the strong buzz, the film also will be released in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Oman and Lebanon in the coming week.

"We are delighted with the performance and audience reactions across demographics," says Vijay Singh, "More so, because this is only phase one of the film release. In addition to the release across 45 countries, MNIK will be rolled out in a phased manner across 25 non-traditional markets from April onwards."
