Bill Gates: Ctrl-Alt- Delete "Was a Mistake"

The keyboard combo that is
Control-Alt-Delete may have
become iconic—but according to
Bill Gates it was all just a big
mistake.
Talking to the Harvard
fundraising campaign, Gates
admitted that the series of
button presses was far from
intentional:
"It was a mistake... We
could have had a single
button, but the guy who did
the IBM keyboard design
didn't wanna give us our
single button".
Indeed, responsibility for Ctrl-
Alt-Delete rests with David
Bradley, an engineer who
worked on the original IBM PC.
It's an enduring legacy, too; the
button combo still works in
Windows 8 to lock a PC or run
Task Manager. Quite a long
history for a mistake. [ Harvard

The circus trees:
Never has a California tourist trap
been more influential on someone’s
future. While touring Santa Cruz,
California’s aptly-named “Mystery
Spot” with his family, Swedish
American Axel Erlandson decided
that he wanted to be the forbearer
of a similar establishment. But
instead of relying on curious
gravitational and magnetic pulls,
Erlandson took to shaping trees in
bizarre, other-worldly patterns. His
idea was a hit; Ripley’s Believe It Or
Not made a visit to the far-out forest
in 1976.

The Quaking Aspens:
Beyond its stunning, canary-colored
foliage, quaking aspens are a
testament to the fact that
unification and solidarity are the key
to a long, golden life. While on the
surface these trees seem like a
cluster of individual timber, the
truth is that beneath the soil, all
the trees are rooted together into
one giant organism, so large in fact
that it can be up to 20 acres wide.
This serves an advantage in terms of
longevity, seeing as one stand of
quaking aspens in Bryce Canyon
National Park is estimated to be
approximately 80,000 years old!

Rainbow eucalyptus tree:
Like most aphorisms, the adage “art
imitates life” is applicable in many
cases, but is especially so when
remarking on the stunning canvas
that is the rainbow eucalyptus tree.
Resembling some sort of psychedelic
Pollock painting, what one might
easily confuse for frenzied, highly
saturated brush strokes is actually
Mother Nature’s grunt work. This
brand of eucalyptus tree sheds its
bark in patches sporadically
throughout the year and in the
process transforms into a technicolor
dream. Initially, the exposed
undergrowth is bright green, though
as it matures the colors shift to
blue, purple, orange and then finally
maroon tones

How to connect your external USB or micro USB to your Samsung galaxy pocket or series smart phones

ByToday I am here with the info on connecting pen-drive with Galaxy Pocket. Most of guys here might know it very well, but some folks are still not aware about it. The next time you are on your way and meet a friend who has some of your most wanted movies and games on a Pen Drive with him, you would always want to have a copy of the stuff for yourself. But, since, you do not have a laptop or net book, you would miss the good opportunity. Not the next time!!! From now on, your Android phone could outsmart the purpose that a laptop could have served. And, for this you do not need any high end Android Device. Our Galaxy pocket can serve this purpose. So, now, after going through this post, you would know how to connect a Pen Drive to your galaxy pocket and do anything that you could have done with your Mac/PC.

You would need just aUSB OTG Adapter or OTG cable for this to work. Its small, light weight and can be kept in your wallet to serve the purpose. It plugs into your phone’s mini-usb interface and gives you a full USB port instead. The normal Micro USB Adapters and OTG cable look like this. These will connect to your Device with a Micro USB port i.e. the port you have.

Moving ahead from connecting Pen Drives to your Android device, there are OTG adapters that even allow you to read I Micro SD cards and other memory cards. The following is the one that allows you to plug in pen drives and all types of memory cards:
And, definitely, the one above has the highest usability quotient.These USB OTG adapters will be compatible to complete Samsung Galaxy range of devices just because they run with the brotherhood of Android, a seamless and compatible platform.

Albert Einstein's theory aids discovery of new planet

Astronomers, for the first-time,
have discovered an exoplanet using
a new method that relies on Albert
Einstein's special theory of
relativity.
"Einstein's planet," formally known
as Kepler-76b, is a "hot Jupiter"
that orbits its star every 1.5 days.
Its diameter is about 25 per cent
larger than Jupiter and it weighs
twice as much. It orbits a type F
star located about 2,000 light-years
from Earth in the constellation
Cygnus. The planet is tidally locked
to its star, always showing the
same face to it, just as the Moon is
tidally locked to Earth. As a result,
Kepler-76b broils at a temperature
of about 1,982 degrees Celsius.
Interestingly, the team found strong
evidence that the planet has
extremely fast jet-stream winds
that carry the heat around it. As a
result, the hottest point on
Kepler-76b isn't the substellar
point ("high noon") but a location
offset by about 16093.4 km.
This effect has only been observed
once before, on HD 189733b, and
only in infrared light with the
Spitzer Space Telescope. This is the
first time optical observations have
shown evidence of alien jet stream
winds at work.
The two most prolific techniques for
finding exoplanets are radial
velocity (looking for wobbling stars)
and transits (looking for dimming
stars).
The new method looks for three
small effects that occur
simultaneously as a planet orbits
the star. Einstein's "beaming" effect
causes the star to brighten as it
moves toward us, tugged by the
planet, and dim as it moves away.
The brightening results from
photons "piling up" in energy, as
well as light getting focused in the
direction of the star's motion due to
relativistic effects.
"This is the first time that this
aspect of Einstein's theory of
relativity has been used to discover
a planet," said co-author Tsevi
Mazeh of Tel Aviv University.

Save nature

For all things we do right thing, for this don't do right, please go with left. Save nature, save the world

Protect the animals

Please prefer to see animals in their natural habitat rather than in zoos. Save and protect endangered species like tiger, rhinoceros, etc.,  Earth is not only for man
