PacMan

Read an article here which states that the number on man hours wasted on the Google PacMan logo amounted to $120m US Dollars. Interesting read.

Backup

Saw this on a website that I frequent. Seems really useful. Much better than the IDE-to-USB connectors, albeit more expensive. But this would solve the heat problem with a standard hard disk, along with the lack of messy cables running round

Revelation

Was reading random articles on Wikipedia and I suddenly saw it. It was like a revelation.

Pythagoras Theorem is a derivative of the Rule Of Cosines

Efficiency

Its amazing how some people think that using Ctrl-C & Ctrl-V is doing things efficiently.

Using a built-in command to compile...THAT is efficiency.

Market

Excellent comic found here. Kinda explains how irrational the market can be.

Blink

Just finished reading "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. It brought forward a very interesting concept. It explains that humans make split second decisions that are actually very accurate. Sometimes even more so than long tests and expert opinion.

But the most interesting concept that one that our subconscious affects how we function. And it affects to a larger extent than most of us ca comprehend. I took a test that was mentioned in the book and below are the results.



Interesting. Considering that I thought I treated slim and fat people equally.

Search

Would doing a search on two single quotation marks yield the same result as doing a search on a double quotation mark?

Courage

Faint heart never won fair lady....

How

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

How? Like the lyrics of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" say, "So many things to tell her, but how to make her see". How?

Emotion

Think I have too much pent up in me.

Been having very random dreams with lots of emotions involved.

Looking at you makes me wonder if it could be me.

On another note, Alison Lee! Where art thou?
