Corporate greed – times of india Online

by Leave a Comment

Finally like  all other big corporations  that only want to make money, times of india Online has joined the bandwagon and decided to charge  people to read their online version of the newspaper.

 Times of india online versionThe times of india online version which was one of my favorite  newspapers to read online , has now joined the likes of wall street journal  who have started charging people to just read their content  online , when pretty much all other news available on the internet is free. This will definitely  bring down their goodwill with the junta to a lower level  while filling their pockets with more money. I know i  will be  checking out other reputable newspapers  on the net from now onwards which are still free.

Good luck here are a few other Indian newspapers online

Dennis Gabor – the guy who started 3D rolling

by Leave a Comment

Dennis Gabor (original Hungarian name: Gábor Dénes) CBE, FRS, (5 June 1900, Budapest  – 9 February 1979, London) was a British-Hungarian[1]  electrical engineer and inventor, most notable for inventing holography, for which he later received the 1971 Nobel Prize in Physics.

[b. Budapest, June 5, 1900, d. London, February 9, 1979]

Gabor got his first patent at the age of 11 (for a carousel using real tethered airplanes). He studied electrical engineering in Germany, where he later developed the modern-day mercury-vapor lamp

His first holograms using mercury-vapor lamps demonstrated the principle, but were dim and difficult to view. Holograms require a coherent set of waves, not easily available until the advent of the laser in 1960. By 1964 holograms using lasers were producing three-dimensional images and since then many other applications of holograms have been developed.

Dennis Gabor received many honors. In 1956 he was nominated to the Royal Society; he was made an honorary member of the Hungarian Academy of Scientists; and in 1971 he received the Nobel Physics Prize for his holographic work. He died in London on February 8, 1979.

Dennis Gabor Quotes

 

Poetry is plucking at the heartstrings, and making music with them.
Dennis Gabor

The most important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs or of archetypal wishes, but the reparation of the evils and damages by the technology of yesterday.
Dennis Gabor

Till now man has been up against Nature; from now on he will be up against his own nature.
Dennis Gabor

Index Corporation of Japan introducing a new range of ringtone collections known as "Hana Sukkiri Melody”, or "Cleared up nostril" melody after translation. Apparently, this ringtone is able to make a nose resonate at the same frequency with pollens adherent inside your nasal cavity, letting them fall down eventually thanks to the use of 27 variations of frequency from420Hz to 1070Hz.

A company called Japan Ringing Tone Laboratory has created the "Hana Sukkiri Melody" ringtone, which claims to be able to clear out your sinuses whenever anybody calls you.

The company claims that "the ringtone will make a nose has resonant frequency with pollens adherent inside your nasal cavity, so eventually pollens fall down." The application is developed by Japan Ringing Tone Laboratory (JRTL), who “develops scientific approach on ringtones”, led by Dr. Matsumi Suzuki [J] who is a professor of Adam Smith University (diploma…)

Luckily, JRTL has some much more sensible-sounding ringtones in the pipeline, including "sleep-promoting ringtone," "ringtone makes your date," "crow scarer ringtone," "ringtone makes your skin beautiful," and more.
