Microblogging services -which let subscribers post short personal updates online or broadcast them as text messages—have inspired a slew of ancillary services.
Clients -These are desktop or mobile-device applications that access microblogs’ content.
Toys -are sites that present the content in new ways, often combined with other data.
Accessories meet needs specific to microbloggers—such as a way to shorten Urls so that they fit inside status updates.

1. Asking Question : Mind should be curious to ask questions and have a blind trust to that that questions are the ones worth asking.
2. Attention to the detail :Observing patterns from the varetiy of data we get
3. Tolerance to Confusion by being patient this will allow the questions arised to become difficult and complex before they begin to give up a result.
4. Through Hands-on – playing around and tweaking with possibilities, creating drafts, and then constantly tinkering with and improving them.
5.Be a Sceptic – asking how it works ,what’s your warrant for that statement, why should I believe you.Unless and until you cant replicate the result there is no result
Google has released Google Chrome a beta browser built with open source code from Chromium.
Design Decision I liked:
1)Making chrome a multi-process application instead of multi-threaded
2)New JS engine
3)Implementing blacklisting of sites(both malware and Phisihng sites ) by default which is powered by Google .
4)Sandboxing all the tabs making it detach from the underlying OS makes it at least safe
5)Task manager for each tab with the stats of CPU and memory usage makes it cool.
6)Loading is pretty fast DNS- prefetching is activated by default
Issues :
1)As I was seeing Process Explorer, each tab process runs in a sandboxed process with the unsandboxed browser process as the parent but when the browser process is sandboxed it doesn’t appear to be able to create it’s own sandboxed children as compared to firefox sandboxed can launch other process in the sandbox with charm .This ties me not to use 3 rd party Sandboxing tools
2)Popups are not blocked but open in minimized window. This feature can be used for malicious activities
3)Plugins used by Chrome may bypass the security model of Sandboxing looks like there is POC up and running on this attack
4)It also suffers from other Dos attack according to this advisory
Looks like the whole innovation of Chorme is driven by Green Border acquisition by Google last May 2007 like the patent “Methods and systems for providing a secure application environment using derived user accounts” (technology presumably incorporated in Chrome).
Here is the Chromium source code.

When ever I think of love there is this dialogue in my mind between my two selfs,as two opposite ideas often reflect reality more accurately than one idea can I tried figuring out what the fucking is this Love
Here is the dialogue posted live :
Lover says :I can’t help falling in love it completes me it builds my character. It makes my life worth living.Love makes me humane.Its worth a compormise.Look the old couple crossing the raod how happy they are helping each other. We all need someone to care for us and to care for. So love? Of course, what could be more true, natural, and good? And besides, I can’t live without it.
Hater says :Love is like cocaine a dangerous and expensive drug I’m best off avoiding or at least limiting.It’s addictive.It’s for weak will people with a apetite of symboytic realtionship.
Its the one which drives the mutual admiration society,in which I find someone who will say untrue things about how exceptional I am so long as I reciprocate.
Love is like a Credit Card enjoy(spend)-now, (pay)commitment-later.
So why do we fall for it? More often than not, it’s looks, young people have more thing to do then to fall in love
And the argument continued …
