Google Nose

Ages ago, many of us noticed the addition of a strangely catching tab on Googles pages. Some ignored, with the presumption that it’s another new product by Google, while some investigated.
The idea, as it said on the Google Nose’s home page was that users could actually sniff __stuff they search for. An example they themselves gave in a screenshot was “wet dog.” As you click on the Nose button, it’d instruct you to bring your nose close to the screen and sniff, and when you do, the screen would go all frosty at places, but you won’t even get a whiff of what a wet dog is supposed to smell like, cause the whole Google Nose thing was nothing but an April fool joke!

There’s always time

And you can always waste it.

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time? Bertrand Russel or John Lennon?

What I’d love to see happen

Chromium OS, and Android, both are light-weight, open-source OSs developed by Google, improving and getting popular, _gradually, _over time.

I think it’s only a matter of time before Google adds features for fully integrating one into other and soon, eradicating either of the two names and merging the two projects, into a single one, an OS available for both desktop and mobile devices.

Bitcoin Thefts Surge, DDoS Hackers Take Millions – Slashdot

Bitcoin, the online currency, P2P money, which was first introduced in the year 2009, and the idea behind it was to introduce a currency, unniversal, for e-commerce, perhaps the first of it’s kind. Users create account and get _wallets, _where they store their money, and some form of these wallets can also be downloaded to your computer and mobile devices.

On the first of December, 2013, the site was attacked by a group of hackers that did manage to get their hands on a whole lot of money.

Chromecast

Came across the term for the first time when I was checking out stuff on the play Store. It’s another project by Google, which in itself is naught but like a USB flash drive, but there’s more to it.
The Chromecast enables you to enjoy media content on your HDTV. Means if for example you come across a YouTube Video, while checking out your Facebook feeds, all you have to do is look for and press the chromecast button. It would prompt you with a list of available devices, selecting any of which would play the content on whatever device you chose. To do so, what you are gonna need is true chromecast USB device of course which has to be plugged into the TV.

Here, a link to the official video:

The page RIP Paul Walker gains 1.5m likes in like a day

99% of the posts in our news-feed seem so say naught but stuff like “RIP Paul Walker.” Walker, an actor best known for his role as Connor O’Brien, in the Fast and the Furious movie series, died yesterday in a car crash.
Someone, no idea who, created this page on Facebook, with the name RIP Paul Walker, that has about 1.5m likes right now, and from the look of it.. it does look a day old..  Guy did seriously have quite some fan base..

Tofu

Tofu, @tofu_product, is a Twitter account, that seems to have a thing for confusing tweets, and following General public.
Actually, it is supposed to be a bot. The moment you follow him, he’d follow you back, and he’d go through your tweets, make something out of them, and tweet it to you.. sounds stupid eh? But that’s more or less like what happens. A Tofu tweet normally doesnt make much sense.
Do give it a try, find him on Twitter and follow him. He’d follow you back instantly. Wait for another few minutes and he is bound to tweet something to you..

The not-too-light lightweight distro

I used to think the Lubuntu was capable of running on any machine available, until I read on some blog a post where a guy was hoping to find a nice damn-light distro for his Toshiba Satellite 300CDT, that had only 4GB storage and 48mb of RAM..
Well, guy could do with slax, as the minimum memory requirements for the 32bit version inn text mode happen to be exactly 48mb…
