Google Is a Calculator

When you can’t be troubled to reach over and pick up the handheld calculator sitting on your desk, you can use Google as a high-tech web-based calculator. All you have to do is enter your equation or formula into the standard Google search box, and then click the Google Search button. The result of the calculation is displayed on the search results page; it’s that simple.

You can use the standard algebraic operators to construct your calculations—+, -, x, and / for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, accordingly. For example, to add 2 plus 3, enter 2 + 3 and press Enter. To divide 10 by 2, enter 10 / 2, and so on.

And Google’s calculator isn’t limited to basic addition and multiplication. It can also handle more advanced calculations, trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions, and logarithmic functions. Just enter the proper formula into the search box, and wait for Google to display the answer.

What Happens To Your Body If You Drink A Coke Right Now?

What Happens To Your Body If You Drink A Coke Right Now?

In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.
20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get it’s hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dialate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
>60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
>60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
>60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

"Top Ten" Apple rumors "of all time"

"Top Ten" Apple rumors "of all time"

Perhaps it's because human beings like to assign markers to their perception of time, or maybe because it's a slow news week, but the final week of December invariably generates "best of" lists. The Crave blog at C|Net UK has compiled a list of Apple rumors that they feel are the most prominent, but anyone who has been watching Apple Computer for more than a few years will likely disagree.

Apple Computer to buy Nintendo
Mac OS for the PC
Return of the Newton
Apple to buy BeOS
A "secret" OS X build
iPhone
iTunes record label
"True" video iPod
30th anniversary Mac
Apple to buy Disney

While the choices are interesting, they seem to be weighted towards the post-millennial Apple Computer, and even then shouldn't the rumor that Steve Jobs was dying make the list? Going back further, where is Copland? The mythical OS occupied the minds of every Mac user from at least 1995 until the return of Steve Jobs. And while a revised Newton might be considered an iTablet, where is the perpetual rumor that is the low-cost, expandable desktop? How can you have a rumor list without an xMac?

If you were paid to write whatever popped into your head after a cup of tea in the morning, what would make your list of Apple rumors for all time?

Evolution of a new born Panda

Fri, 18 May 2007 14:40:12 GMT

clipped by: zephyr1

Clip Source: news.worldwild.org

Once upon a time the female panda was pregnant and when the time came she gave birth to this little fellow….

The new born cub was so small and fragile that he seemed to be more of a cat cub than of a panda one…

Attention, good care and all the time needed were spent so that the little cub would grow healthy and beautiful…

In a week, he is already acting as a ” big ” and powerful animal, sniffing around…

At 25 days, the cub begins to look as a panda…the specific black spots have already appeared but he’s still blind…

After 30 days, the cub looks like a little pig ..

In a couple more days, we have a brand new panda cub able to eat and start to play by his own.

When he’s 85 days old, no one knows what he’s up to….

But he still is somehow funny and he sleeps just like a human baby…

Let’s blow the candle, the cub has reached 3 months old ….

Mammals evolve the same way as humans do and still, people couldn’t care less about them, about the environment and about living a healthy life…

5 Tips to Increase Your Likeability

1. Be positive.

"Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid." - John Keats

2. Control your insecurities.

"The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything." - Theodore Roosevelt

3. Provide value.

"The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the person you want to be... Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others." - Wilfred Peterson

4. Eliminate all judgments.

"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same again." - Og Mandino

5. Become a person of conviction.

"One needs to be slow to form convictions, but once formed they must be defended against the heaviest odds." - Mahatma Gandhi

The Future of Web 2.0

The Future of Web 2.0

2004: Web 2.0 coined, the movement named.

2006: "You" named TIME Magazine's "Person of the Year", a tribute to Web 2.0.

2007: You are here.

2008: Firefox 3.14159 ships (those geeks at Mozilla just won't be able to help themselves, and the resulting flamewar and developer resignations over whether to call it "PiFox" or not will lead to it being dubbed "PyreFox"). This version adds offline support to Ajax web applications. People will want to call the result "Web 3.0" but that term was claimed in advance by the Semantic Web so the blogosphere will quickly decide to call this Web 2.86 but the period will be quickly quickly lost (to the condemnation of purists) and the media will refer to "Web 286".

2007 Web Predictions.

Wed, 20 Dec 2006 06:29:26 GMT

clipped by: mingkymomo

Clip Source: www.readwriteweb.com

- RSS will go mainstream in a big way next year - not only integrated into Microsoft's new Vista OS, but also fully integrated into Yahoo Mail when it comes out of beta (the Ajax version). Plus we expect some of Google's RSS experiments to come into play more in 2007 - especially Google Base, which uses an RSS variant called GData. In addition to all this, new and interesting (if not overly innovative) services will be built on top of RSS - e.g. the Techmeme RSS Ad-delivery.

- Widgets exploded in 2006 but will continue rising in 2007 thanks to blogs and social networks like MySpace. MyBlogLog is an example of what we'll see more of, but also look out for more e-commerce and multimedia widgets.

- Microsoft's Windows Live services will gain real momentum next year, thanks to Vista and also Live services going out of beta and usurping their MSN counterparts (e.g. Windows Live Mail taking over Hotmail).

- WebOS /GoogleOS: To counter the Vista and Windows Live threat, Google may come out with some form of GoogleOS. This is contentious, but one theory is that if Vista's default services (Live.com) can put pressure on Google, then we may see a Google optimized Linux .

- Browser War II. In 2007 expect the competition between IE7 and FireFox (plus Flock, Opera and Maxthon) to be intense. Perhaps we'll even see a G-Browser? Stranger things have happened.... or will Google continue to utilize Firefox as its cover? The latter is more likely, as Google does not want to seem too distracted with operating systems and browsers; this would be a bad signal for the NASDAQ investors.

- Broadband continues to grow: For example Fiber Connections in France. There will be similar baby steps towards faster internet all around the world. After all, the broadband revolution created web 2.0, Google and web apps. So it's worth following this trend!

- VoIP space will really hot up. Skype and a bunch of new competitors will compete and potentially disrupt the telecoms industry.

Her bark's bigger than she is

At 6 inches long and less than 2 pounds, Brandy the chihuahua is the world's smallest dog.

Brandy the Chihuahua is so small, she's not allowed on her owner's sofa -- for fear she'd be injured if she jumped off.
