Have you ever wanted to know, what’s the earth’s people are getting busy lately? Hmm, according to a report from Google Inc, in the past 7 days, the following terms are increasingly searched in Google.

Top ten
1. masters leaderboard 
2. yuri gagarin
3. grand national 2011
4. grand national
5. government shutdown 2011
6. government shutdown
7. masters
8. ipl
9. onpe
10. 地震

As you see, most of the world is wasting time on sport, while some others interested in the past and the space history (Yuri Gagarin), and the remaining part is interested in government businesses. Lastly, I’m too lazy to use Google translate to learn the meaning of the 10th search and comment on it. so if you give a damn, just use google translate.

Does EFX Bracelet really work ?

It has been 2 days since I bought it. If you ask me Do I feel any different? Like I’m charged with super powers, super flexible, like one of the fantastic four, or I am in perfect balance as Kung Fu Panda ? Unfortunately, not. I don’t feel any different apart from I feel like I paid through the nose. I paid nearly 40 bucks for a silicon piece.

EFX Chronicles

Day 1;

Slept at 1:00 am and woke up at 6:00 am in the morning, I felt a bit tired which is contrast to what seller told me, “you’ll wake up completely refreshed”. Throughout the day I felt normal, not much energetic. At the end of the day I slept at 11:30 pm.

Day 2;

Today I woke up at 9:00 am in the morning, so I was late to work. Couldn’t wake up at 6:00 am. I feel totally worn out, exhausted, man! I feel like a hammered sh*t. This thing is like draining my life energy since I’ve worn it. It gathered lots of dust around itself and sticked to my wrist, can’t take it out, I am doomed like the scorpion king but without the super powers. In the gym workout I lifted half of the normal weight I usually lift, It’s like I’m weakening. I started to worry, seriously. The thing was suppose to increase physical abilities, in contrast it’s turning me into a bag of potato. Fortunately I was able to take it off before the end of the day. Believe me, I feel much more better, the thing didn’t even cause to a placebo effect, I’m not mentioning that it’s not working, in contrary It is working but in the reverse direction, it had some serious negative effects on me, and I barely found the strength to remove it from my wrist before it completely fused itself to my arm. Lucky me.

Don’t expect a silicon piece to turn you into a super human, if it would really works, why do they sell it to you for a cost of a dinner ? Or Why do you buy it, even if you know it’s not going to work for you? (just like me).

The answer is blowing in the wind : curiosity.

So recently did you notice something new in Facebook? In January 2011, Facebook announced the  “Sponsored Stories”. Apparently it is now being running. If one of your friend likes some product, Facebook will show the advertisement along with your friend’s name. Do you see the danger ? If your answer is NO, let me explain.

Google has added a fade in effect to its homepage. But it would better if we can hide links manually and other stuff other than the search box, so it would be a lot cleaner.

“Communicate & Collaborate in real time” says Google. A new but a belated step from Google for Social Networking. I’m pretty sure you are so late Google, Facebook has already digested its huge bite from the cake of social networking. Google has a single advantage, Google account owners need not to register again. Anyways, let’s say hi to wave.

Do you know that if you search the following phrase in google, you will find that wiki is offering samples of different cultures.

“music of ireland”

By the way how peaceful is the song from Ireland. You can search for your own country. If you are Johnie Walker, then search for bagpipes

After a long break (unplanned), I’m starting to write again, during this break, I did have chance to finish many things, like my first publication, which is being prepared to be published by Springer Lecture Notes, and it is titled as “A Local Behavior Identification Algorithm for Generative Network Automata Configurations”. Previously I have attended to ECAL 2009 10th European Conference on Artificial Life which was held in Budapest (I’m planning to share some more photos from my visit). Currently I’m struggling with my master thesis. From now on I’ll be posting new stuff more frequently, (I have started to use iPhone WordPress application). So stay alive

I am 24 years old, and have lots of eye floaters. I’m trying to live with them and sometimes it is so difficult to ignore them.

Social networks in the form of Yahoo or MSN communities always existed. But today social networking has acquired altogether different connotation and size. MySpace is known to be first social network and today with 20 million users, it tops the pack of social networking sites.

Whether we like or dislike emergence of such networking sites, fact is we cannot wish it away. There is money to be made from such data mined, and this would not stop. Instead of being paranoid about the cyber crime in any form, we need to develop strengths to deal with it and tap huge possibilities of networked world.
