Next buzz iPhone with 3G

28 Apr

I came to know from engadget that apple has finalised the next iPhone which is going to launched not sooner than june.  Here is the list what you can expect in the next iPhoneiPhone

  • The first thing people will notice: the 2nd gen iPhone will be about the same size and shape as the first gen.
  • It will, of course, have 3G. And proper GPS!
  • The most noticeable physical difference is back of the phone is no longer metal — the whole thing is glossy black, from top to bottom. The volume buttons are now chrome.
  • Because it’s got a little less metal to deal with, it doesn’t have quite as many angular edges. The battery is (still) not removable.
  • The phone itself will be slightly thicker than the first gen device.
  • The headphone jack will no longer be recessed, and will finally be flush with the body.
  • The device itself uses roughly the same size and resolution screen as the first generation product.
  • No solid word on battery life or storage capacity.

Best Time Pass When you don’t have Girl Friend

18 Apr

I was searching for things about how different people pass there time who don’t have girl friend and I found very funny and amused to see how different people pass there time. Here I have listed what most people across the world do to pass time. The list is build based on data collected from different forums about what people do to time pass when they don’t have girl friend.

Note: Girls would be thinking how can they are seen as time pass but its true don’t agree ask your boyfriend. 🙂
1. Masturbate a lot.
2. Find a new one..
3. Downloading movies and watching.
4. Chatting online.
5. Search porn on net.
6. Scratch ur butt, Even if nothing itches, go ahead.
7. Go volunteer for a few hours where people are worse off than you – orphanage, refugee center.
8. Secretly award passers by marks out of ten as you go along, offering (unsaid) expert criticism
over their clothing, hairstyle and footwear choices.
9. Try to swallow your tongue, It is possible, but really stupid.
10.Dreaming about beautifull womens

Google App Engine – Enters into services bussiness

8 Apr

Today google is launching a Google App Engine on which you can simply deploy your application other things are taken care by google. What you get is full-stack, hosted, automatically scalable web application platform consisting of Python application servers, BigTable database access (anticipated here and here) and GFS data store services.

As per google:

Today we’re announcing a preview release of Google App Engine, an application-hosting tool that developers can use to build scalable web apps on top of Google’s infrastructure. The goal is to make it easier for web developers to build and scale applications, instead of focusing on system administration and maintenance.

Leveraging Google App Engine, developers can:

  • Write code once and deploy. Provisioning and configuring multiple machines for web serving and data storage can be expensive and time consuming. Google App Engine makes it easier to deploy web applications by dynamically providing computing resources as they are needed. Developers write the code, and Google App Engine takes care of the rest.
  • Absorb spikes in traffic. When a web app surges in popularity, the sudden increase in traffic can be overwhelming for applications of all sizes, from startups to large companies that find themselves rearchitecting their databases and entire systems several times a year. With automatic replication and load balancing, Google App Engine makes it easier to scale from one user to one million by taking advantage of Bigtable and other components of Google’s scalable infrastructure.
  • Easily integrate with other Google services. It’s unnecessary and inefficient for developers to write components like authentication and e-mail from scratch for each new application. Developers using Google App Engine can make use of built-in components and Google’s broader library of APIs that provide plug-and-play functionality for simple but important features.

A big competition to Amazon web services. Lets see if it wins. I know google is very strong on server side and opening it to world means we all have access to super computing power which google has. In next few years we are going to see huge number of new application running on google machines which will do bigger and great work. Possibly the major industries which will use google power are Video based services, Bioinformatics , Astronomical data based services etc. which requires huge computation and reliable 24X7 network.
