I am moving to the moon !!!

I am going to move to the Moon.. Going by the present of real estate in Bangalore I am sure it would be better off to move to the Moon where the real estate I am sure would be cheaper.. and now here is all the more the reason..

The moon has a better bandwidth connectivity than what I can get at my house.. 100Mbps..

All the more reason to move..

Dont forget your laptop when going on a flight..

How about this news.. Pilot used the laptop of a passenger for checking weather.. for their flight ahead..

So you see it is better to carry your laptop when on a flight. You never know when it will be useful..

MIT Personas... Characterization of your digital life

Found this new project by MIT.. "Personas". The concept is so cool.. It basically tries to scrounge the internet for your name and provides an output which basically tries to characterize the digital life of you.

The best part is the way it does the characterization. The method it follows and the visual representation of the same is also soooo cool...

The only catch is it looks up by name and if there are multiple people in your name then personas might mashup all the characters together... Imagine if you had a evil namesake who is known for all illegal things ;-)

Anyway this is the output for me

Laser propulsion based space travel..

Came across this article.. now we can think of going to space without using present day rocket fuel based propulsion.. but with laser propulsion

Leik Myrabo, an aerospace engineer, who has been working on this for nearly 3 decades claims it can now soon become reality.. He also hints at using this technology to go from one region of earth to the opposite end within an hour !!!

Then we can commute between India and US daily for work;-) ... but still we might take more than that to commute to the laser transport station from our home in Bangalore with the traffic the way it is today :)

Read on..

Windows Media player wmv files playing at double speed...

I had a strange problem with my Windows Media Player that it was not playing wmv files properly.. I had upgraded to WMplayer 11 where the wmv files played only video and no audio. So when I downgraded back to WMplayer 9, the files started playing at twice the speed. :-)

After quite some searching found a solution for this vague problem.. Thanx to m05ue on this forum who posted the answer to this freak problem..
