Ya’ll must hav come across this saying before, “Slow and Steady wins the race” – at least back in the childhood, when this was used as a Moral in the “Hare and the Tortoise” Story. 

So I edited it and gave a new form, which stands like, 

The Too Fast and Too Furious wins the race!

More in the “Incoming List”!

The huge contemporary Olympics village, which stands in the dimension of a huge-Chinese legendary dragon, took many years and came up big at a cost of $40 Billion+, the most expensive and extravagant arrangement in Olympic History. 

Just a couple of days before the startup, the Chinese were taken aback by the stubborn haze-formation which stood above the village trying to distort that glitzy-picture, the China wanted to portray. This demanded an additional $13 Billion to be pumped in, which in turn formulated a pretty view which was much projected. 

To make sure the opening open was rain-free, Chinese send around 1,104 customized rockets to moderate the weather and to root out the terror fears, the officials appointed 500,000+ paramilitary personnel in and around the locus of the Bird’s Nest Stadium, a huge stadium with the capacity to hold 91,000 audiences and which got that name from its distinct shape of a bird’s nest. 

To make sure the Poverty visibility status was 0% in Beijing, it veiled the surrounding slum-areas with special wall with, the main slogan “One World, One Dream”, pasted on them at the so called “fun and Brighter” side of China. Below is a picture to support my argument.  

So people and critics even argue that many events in the Chinese Olympics (Day 1), were trying to pull wool over the eyes, for instance, they state that the lil’ small girl who rhymed a Chinese poem did nothing but move her lips as everything was pre-recorded. They move on in their “Questioning Spree” by also mentioning that the fire-works, for the viewers behind their TV sets, were edited and made more glorious. 

What went against the truth is certainly known by the people, who’re the organizers, a support for the general fact that Chinese market is filled with duped product.  Even at our place, when people look at something with a “Made in China” label, they think twice. Maybe that was the reason it was compelled to make the next generation of labels, “Made in PRC*”.

But, what can’t be denied is the reality that China is really in a velocity trying to get a top position at the “List of the Powerful and Competitive Countries”, a move which is required of India if it wants to achieve the 2020 dream, which would be like “putting-into-action” the words of a wise person who remarked, “Get influenced by the good actions and not the bad ones” 

 * stands for People’s Republic of China

Out of an extreme yearning to post this one on my blog, I broke my resolution which was not to post anything in this month of June so you guys better appreciate it. Gud Luk!

Hi, there

I took sum time out of my xtremely busy schedule (ya’ right), and posted this article up here.

So here it goes … Ever since I updated my Blog about 15 days ago, the traffic turning in has been certainly incredibly astonishing. Getting an average of 266.8 per day is really weird because there’s nothing in here which is worth giving a memento or something, but that’s actually good for me as I can consider the idea of signing up for the Google Adsense Program and can start earning. (if it really works!!!)

I presume there are certain factors which cause some amount of surge in the incoming traffic levels to any  blog or website and they were as follows:

1)    keeping its face updated with anything, even adding a new link will do (In my case, I keep on changing the theme)

2)    Submittal of your URL address to some of the top search engines. (This is something I did on the very first day of blogging as I was getting crazy of my stats…Mo’s article, ‘Lifecycle of a Blogger’ is true after all!)

3)    writing about something which is talked about every now and then (in my case the post, ‘Hello Kitty for Men!’ was the most attracting one)

4)    Of course, reminding everyone in your contact list (of your brain) about your website or blog. (I even pinned a paper onto the corridor NOTICE BOARD, featuring my blog’s address, http://ivitamins.wordpress.com, To my horror It was ripped out the next day by some moderator.)

5)    Always keep testing the ways you can increase traffic and be on the lookout for innovative pointers.

And these bullets down here are the factors which can cause an decline in the amount of attraction (in kgs or…):

1)    By posting articles and  writings that the aggressive and immoral,

2)    By uploading certain damage-causing elements like spywares, malwares, etc.

3)    This list can go on forever more…

I’ll logout for the rest of the day.

Dumb Doctors and Cool Technology!!

(If you are still relying on Google to snoop on your friends, you are behind the curve.)

Armed with new and established Web sites, people are uncovering surprising details about colleagues, lovers and strangers that often don’t turn up in a simple Internet search. Though none of these sites can reveal anything that isn’t already available publicly, they can make it much easier to find. And most of them are free.

Wendy Bounds on when venture-capitalists hire spies. Read her latest post and share your thoughts.

Zaba Inc.’s ZabaSearch.com turns up public records such as criminal history and birthdates. SpockNetworks Inc.’s Spock.com and Wink Technologies Inc.’s Wink.com are “people-search engines” that specialize in digging up personal pages, such as social-networking profiles, buried deep in the Web. Spokeo.com is a search site operated by Spokeo Inc., a startup that lets users see what their friends are doing on other Web sites. Zillow Inc.’s Zillow.com estimates the value of people’s homes, while the Huffington Post’s Fundrace feature tracks their campaign donations. Jigsaw Data Corp.’s Jigsaw.com, meanwhile, lets people share details with each other from business cards they’ve collected — a sort of gray market for Rolodex data.

Some people have come across dirt on their loved ones without even looking for it. Doug Orlyk, a 42-year-old librarian in Bensenville, Ill., recently turned to ZabaSearch to find his new boyfriend’s address so that he could send him a card. Instead, he found out that the boyfriend had been lying about his age — he was 43 years old, not 35 as he had claimed to be on the dating site where Mr. Orlyk had met him. “I thought, ‘You’re a liar! You’re older than I am!,’” Mr. Orlyk recalls. His new relationship ended soon thereafter.

Others rely on the Web to gather information on the job. Art Feagles, a technology specialist at the Cate School, a private high school in Carpinteria, Calif., runs the computer system for the alumni and development office. But his colleagues, who fund-raise for the school, keep tapping him for another tech skill: researching potential donors online.

Last year, for example, Mr. Feagles wanted to learn more about a potential donor by using the person’s address. So he searched for it in Google Inc.’s Google Earth aerial-mapping program, and saw that the address was for a golf-course condominium. From that, he gathered that this was probably a second home, and therefore the person must be rich — and a good prospect for a donation.

The Web sites, for their part, say they’re merely trying to provide services that people will find useful and entertaining. Ray Chen, a cofounder of Spokeo, says he and his partners “don’t want to stalk people.” Instead, he says, “we’re just trying to make something that’s fun to use.” Zaba CEO Nick Matzorkis says the dissemination of public information online is “a 21st century reality with or without ZabaSearch.”

Larry Yu, a Google spokesman, says the use of Google Earth and Maps to glean personal information about others “is not the intent of the products.” He touts their other uses, such as helping users visualize driving directions.

Many online sleuths start by signing up for an account on social-networking sites like Facebook Inc. and News Corp.’s MySpace, where they can search for individuals by name. (News Corp. is the publisher of The Wall Street Journal.) An acquaintance’s home address can be dug up using ZabaSearch or another public-records search engine; that can then be plugged into Google Maps, where the Street View feature might show an image of the address from the street, or Zillow, which can estimate the value of the home. Those trying to make a business contact might try Jigsaw, which invites users to provide phone numbers, email addresses, job titles and other information from business cards they’ve collected.

Some popular Web sites make certain content visible to the public by default — for instance, photos stored on Yahoo Inc.’s photo-sharing service Flickr, favorite online bookmarks on Yahoo’s del.icio.us service and wish lists on Amazon.com. If you enter your email address and password into Spokeo.com, the site will build a list of the people on your email-contact lists. Then it tracks those contacts’ activities on Web sites such as Flickr, del.icio.us, Amazon, MySpace and online-radio service Pandora Media Inc., sometimes turning up surprising material, from family albums to embarrassing shopping lists.

The bad news, for those who find themselves targeted by snoops: There is no foolproof way to protect yourself from embarrassing personal-data leaks. But you can avoid many mishaps by going to the root of the leak — that is, by keeping individual pieces of personal data from being made public in the first place. If you don’t want people to find your address online, for example, don’t list it in local phone books, which often provide data to online address-search services. If you don’t want others to see your Amazon wish list or the photos you’ve stored on Flickr, visit those sites’ privacy pages and adjust your settings accordingly.

Some sites use the ability to snoop as a selling point. The Huffington Post’s Fundrace feature, which allows users to enter their addresses and see a map showing their neighbors’ political donations, uses this come-on: “Want to know … whether that new guy you’re seeing is actually a Republican or just dresses like one?”

Other sites make it easy to accidentally expose embarrassing details about yourself. Amazon’s wish-list feature, for example, lets people create public lists of items they want to buy. Says Amazon spokesman Craig Berman, “We make it really clear that these lists are public and searchable.” But some people use the feature as a quasi-private things-to-buy-myself list.

Ruth Funabiki, a 57-year-old law librarian in Moscow, Idaho, recently discovered through Spokeo that a friend added something unusual to her wish list on Amazon.com: one of those disposable pads that protects mattresses from bedwetters. “There’s a voyeuristic aspect to it,” she says. “I’m embarrassed. I shouldn’t be looking.”
