My Sunday

Sunday, a day with no college and nothing to do, sitting in front of LCD screen all time and annoying my parents.
While surfing, I discover a lot of unusual but amazing things and I want to share them with all you.

1. Here's a video i found on the youtube and couldn't stop laughing after seen it.

Being a student of IT field I really know how engineers think.


Animation Vs. Animator


2. Here's a game, which also considently a bit technical in itself but everyone can enjoy it and pass their Sundays playing it. Fantastic Contraption

3. Some funny pictures



4. And no Sunday can end with a joke - IBM employees

How many IBM employees does it take to screw in a light bulb?
10,000: one to hold up the light bulb, and 9,999 to turn the building around.

in.com is out for me

Today it's been third time when I denied access to my in.com account. It says incorrect username or password and asks if i forgot the password. When it happened to me first time I thought I really forgot my password this time and clicked on the forgot password option. It asked me about my alternate email id and after some time my new password mailed to me to the mentioned id. I logged on to in.com using this password and immediately changed it acc. to my convenience. Now when I tried to login next time the story just repeated itself and I denied access. Again I logged in with their sent password and again changed the password to my convenience.
Well that's not the end of the story, today I denied access for the 3rd time in a row. But this time I am not opting for their forgot ur password scheme rather trying to access my account with my own choosen password. I cannot login like these more, it's frustrating and annoying. I mean what the use of password if one has to do like this.
If anybody has a similar experience please do tell and others can also post their reviews about in.com .

India introduces public smoking ban

On Thursday, India issued a world’s biggest public smoking ban and this came on the birthday of India's independence leader, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who did not smoke or drink. The ban applies to all public places, including restaurants, bars, offices, airports and even bus stops.

India is the third largest market for cigarettes, with up to 120 million smokers and this would definitely forced them to stub their cigarettes. The ban carries a fine of 200 rupees and is expected to rise up in future to 1000 rupees.

Most Indians supports the ban on smoking in public places, according to results of a survey. Some 92 percent of the 1,030 people who answered the survey in Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai and Kolkata, strongly favoured curbs on lighting up in public places.
But on the other hand India’s largest cigarette manufacturer ITC Ltd and Indian Hotels Association have moved the Delhi high court challenging the Union government's notification that bans smoking in "public places". They have argued that the notification makes no distinction between private space and public space.

The govt has issued the ban (second try in four years), but I think forgot to consider how they would watch 1.2 billion people 24x7. The real challenge for the govt has just started.

The local vendors are maintaining that the govt. should ban the manufactures instead of the ban as no cigarettes no smoking no deaths or even set up smoking zones first. I think if the law even managed to reduce some amount, this would make a lot of difference in the society.

SSS

Thinking what the hell on earth that means !!! well don't bother your brain horses to much as I am going to tell you just that.
It's Sony's Smile Shutter tecnology, which I recently became aware of through Tv commercial. In India, this feature was first appeared in HDR-CX12 camcorder which was launched in August for about $900.

Smile shutter is built around the intriguing notion that the camera will automatically snap a picture the instant your main subject cracks a smile or grin without having to press the photo button. Now no need to wait for your subject to smile. But there is still a problem which this technology don't take care of is how to make your subject laugh. Well jokes apart.... this concept certainly faced a lot of problems and had received a cold response from the industry. The camera is more likely to detect a broad smile when your teeth are showing. Wonder how the camera tackles the babies smile with no teeths. Smile-detection accuracy also rises, if your subject narrows his or her eyes.
The one big drawback is that one can't take picture manually if the camera goes into this smile mode.

But whatever they say I think the concept is appealing and just needed to look in a more practical way.
