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”

Long live wiki, you little Mozart …

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

What are Eye floaters?
-Cellular Debris which were detached from retina to vitreous gel.

Are they harmful?
-No they are not, in some cases, floater numbers are increased in a short time, and this may be a sign of a retinal problem. (Tears and etc…)

Are there any pills/medicine/eye drops to cure/diminish the floaters?
-No, there isn’t any medicine yet

What are the causes?
-There are many causes for eye floaters,

• Diseases
• Stress
• Bright Lights (for ex: laser pointers, any light that damages retina)
• Hard Activities (Weight lifting etc…)
• Cigarette
• Laser Surgery

Do they diminish over time?
-There is no answer for this, because sometimes they disappear, sometimes not.

Are there any treatments for eye floaters?
-Yes, vitrectomy is the answer. But doctors do not prefer vitrectomy except the cases that patient has lots of them. They tell you to ignore and how to live with them. Also vitrectomy has many complications and risks. In most cases a cataract operation needed after vitrectomy surgery. Also there is a laser treatment for floaters, but they just divide the floaters into very small pieces, they don’t diminish totally, many people had complained about that those small pieces are worse and more irritating than the big ones.

At Which ages eye floaters begin to appear?
-In generally, eye floaters are part of aging, but there are many people have them from very early ages. (Childhood/teenage)

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.
