The most important image ever taken

in Thought, Video

The universe is a big place. We hear about how big it is when ever we go to planetarium. But knowing something is big and being able to visualize it are two different things. We go about driving to work, cooking dinner, posting our videos on Youtube and its all too easy to forget about the rest of the universe. Afterall, we have much better things to do than think about how big the universe is.

The point here is, the universe is just so big that our brain is not made to hear and process large numbers like this. We orbit around sun, one of the 500,000 Million stars from our galaxy. This image from Hubble telescopes shows that there are billion-times-trillion such galaxies in the universe. The number is so big that the probability of not having life in some other planet is almost zero. Watch this remarkable video to be amazed.

Its too big that it makes human life too small to fight, being jealous and get angry. The things we cry about daily does not matter at all. The universe is spread across 46 billion light year and we don’t even represent a dot on it.

Do you think life is not fair with you? Watch this video and you will appreciate your life. This is a 23 minute frustration of a dude playing hardest Super Mario Bros ever. I just love the way he talks playing it. My favorite part is at 3:56. Whats your favorite part?

Terminator is not fiction, its here, its happening, now.

December 6, 2009

Robot war has already begun. There are UAVs flying over our head daily. UAVs are planes without human pilot. They can create mission on their own and destroy target. Right now, this second, there are at least 35 Predator drones in the skies over Iraq and Afghanistan. Around the world, robot prototypes exist that are mobile, armed and operate without human control. Living insects are being combined with machines for military use which can carry biological weapons. Watch this interesting small documentary with P. W. Singer (former coordinator of the Defense Policy Task Force for Barack Obama)

4 steps to get around with spam emails

November 29, 2009

In this post I will talk about how I effectively get around with email spam. (May be I will post about how to get rid of the snail-mail-spam in another post sometime)

The main key to get around with spam is to hide your email address. This is very difficult if you use only one email address for all your needs. Because no matter how hard you try to hide your email, it will be exposed to the spammer. I have split all my email traffic between four email accounts. Here is a summery of what email traffic goes to what account and what email is to be used for what audience.
