Crazy people.!!!!

They say that Mayan Calendar ends at 2012, I know the real reason..

The author of the calendar might have slept after writing the 2012 calendar..If Not Then why the HELL he did not write the 2013 calendar without a " P.S note " stating, "World Will End In 2012".

I think I'll get a Nobel Prize for this amazing invention if this annoting 21-12-2012 doesnt happen..

First moon landing by America is " FAKE "

Top 5 Reasons Why People Think the Moon Landings Were Faked


Over the years, many people have claimed that the moon landings were faked due to a variety of things, and we've rounded up five of the most common reasons - all of our descriptions are responses gathered from online forums, and not definitive explanations by any means. Yes, FOX even aired an entire special on this topic.

5. Spotlight:
The well-known photograph of Buzz Aldrin standing upright in the spotlight is a giveaway because he is actually being illuminated in a spotlight from supposed rays from the sun even though the terrain around him remains in darkness. Just how could the sun add a spotlight around a certain individual akin to a stagehand directing a spotlight on an actor or even performer on stage? This was undoubtedly a significant screw up, and NASA was reckless for believing that not a single person would realize or that they could get away with it. In fact, it was such a blunder that NASA even tried to cover it up by brightening the rest of the surface in subsequent versions of it.



4. Shadows:
The shadows diverge and converge in many of the moon landing pictures. A number of them also join at perpendicular 90 degree angles. This simply cannot be if there is merely one source of light, the sun, as NASA alleges . Under the sun, shadows run parallel to each other. They just do not converge or intersect . And so, there would have to have been one more light source, along the lines of fill lights utilized on a motion picture studio stage to balance out the lighting, because officially, the astronauts did not actually bring along any other light sources on them. Apollo defenders try to cop out of this by claiming that the slant of the surface, angle of the sun and perspective of the viewer can cause shadows to converge or diverge. However, many of these shadows are on objects close to each other, and there is no indication that the sun is at an extreme angle. Most of the shadow anomalies were on fairly level surfaces, and even on those that weren't, the slight slant was not enough to account for the distorted shadows.


3. Footprints
The snapshots of the astronaut bootprints on the moon dust should not be at all possible. Boot prints are only feasible if there is moistness in the sand or perhaps dirt . Having said that on the moon, there is not any moisture. As soon as a person steps on dry sand - for instance on sand dunes - no footprint is left and no ridges from the shoe or boot soles are embedded. All that's left is small dent in the sand. So this is a curious anomaly.



2. Halfway to the Moon
In Bart Sibrel's documentary "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon", a video recording is revealed of the Apollo 11 astronauts faking an image of the Earth from low orbit, while radioing to NASA that they were 130,000-miles from Earth, or halfway to the moon. The astronauts stated at some point in the clip that the camcorder was set up against the window. And yet an object obstructs the view of the purported distant Earth, along with a light structure can be viewed moving in the corner too, which isn't possible if the camera were situated against the window. When the lights go on, we see the blue light outside, which means they were either in low earth orbit, or in the daylight blue skies of Earth. In fact, the blue light can be seen from two separate windows in the command module.


1. Wires
In a number of the videos of the Apollo moon walks, you will notice wires installed on the astronauts, which sometimes even flicker in the light a couple of times. This can be viewed as smoking gun footage as well. To view them all, head over to YouTube and enter "moon hoax wires". But why would the astronauts need wires attached to them , unless they were in a staged movie studio?

New Camouflage Material 'Quantum Stealth' Could Make Soldiers Invisible

A NEW fabric has been created which claims to be able to give troops the power of invisibility - just like Harry Potter.
Canadian company Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp claim its Quantum Stealth fabric is completely invisible.
Picture: Hyperstealth.com
While the company hasn't provided images of the actual material being used, it has made a video which it says demonstrates the overall concept of its magic fabric.
For security purposes the real technology cannon be revealed - or hidden - as the case may be.
While the company hasn't provided images of the actual material, it allowed CNN to make a video which it says demonstrates the overall concept of its magic fabric.
"A material that renders the target completely invisible by bending light waves around the target," the company states on its website.
"The material removes not only your visual, infrared (night vision) and thermal signatures but also the target’s shadow."


Picture: Hyperstealth.com
But for security purposes the website can’t discuss details about how it accomplishes the 'bending of light', but it says groups from the American and Canadian army have seen the fabric in operation and can verify that it does work.
They cannot say, however, if it will help you escape the clutches of evil Lord Voldemort if you were to encounter him.

Samsung S IV

Posted by Varatha krishnan On 0 comments
PROJECT J :-


Samsung will release its next-generation Galaxy S4 smartphone at some point during the first half of 2013. As releases go it doesn’t get much bigger than a new flagship from Samsung, now the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturer. 
Up to now most big releases – well, ones that piqued the attention of millions of people all over the globe – were the sole reserve of Apple and its iPhone and iPad. This is no longer the case, however, with Samsung commanding just as much, if not more, attention from consumers en masse. 
So while the release of the iPhone 5S will no doubt be a big deal, Apple launches always are, we think Samsung’s Galaxy S4 could well eclipse the new iPhone, both in terms of shipments, interest, and features. Case in point: the Galaxy S3 outsold the iPhone 4S in Q3 2012. 
The Galaxy S3 was a resounding success, cementing Samsung as the true heir to Apple’s throne. The device was bigger, better, and faster than nearly all of its peers and made the iPhone 4S look practically remedial, a point that was further cemented by the introduction of Google Now via the Android Jelly Bean update.  
So what can we expect from the Galaxy S4? Read on to find out: 

Galaxy S4 – Design

At this juncture in time it’s hard to talk specifics about a handset that’s probably not going to see the light of day for potentially another six months. But because it’s Samsung we’re talking about here it’s probably safe to assume that the device will be constructed from similar materials to those used on the Galaxy S3 and Note 2. And that means plastic – and lots of it. 
We’d expect the device to be significantly slimmer than the Galaxy S3, as well as bigger, owing to the inclusion of a larger display. But beyond that it’s difficult to speculate any further. We would like to see Samsung up the ante in the build materials department though – perhaps even introducing a unibody aluminium chassis? 
What to expect? The Galaxy S4 will be bigger, slimmer, and lighter – and hopefully constructed from better quality build materials.  

Galaxy S4 – Display 

Latest reports suggest the Galaxy S4 will feature a 5-inch full HD 1920x1080 pixel display that’ll pack in a staggering pixel density of 441ppi. Samsung is also reportedly using flexible OLED panels rather than glass setups aboard its next flagship, although whether this actually turns out to be the case remains to be seen. 
According to a one unnamed Samsung exec, ‘the company will pull out a handset featuring ultra-thin AMOLED material and a screen with a 441 pixel per inch density,’ according to Tech Radar. Either way you can bet your socks that whatever Samsung launches will rival anything produced by HTC, Sony, and LG in the coming months. 
What to expect? A 5-inch full 1080p HD display with a staggeringly high pixel density

Galaxy S4 – Processor

Samsung will be showcasing a dual quad-core mobile processor at the International Solid-Stat Circuits Conference in February next year.
The System-on-Chip (SoC) is a 28nm chip, with one quad-core cluster running at 1.8GHz for high performance apps, and the other running at 1.2GHz for energy efficiency. Based on an ARM A15 Cortex setup, this chipset is widely believed to be the one that will power Samsung’s Galaxy S4. 
Analyst Kevin Krewell at Linley Group told EETimes, 'We expect the Samsung part is the first big.little processor. The A7 cores should be capable of handling most [smartphone] tasks, with the A15 cores only required for maximum performance needs, like video games.'
And because the Galaxy S4 is likely to be such a big release, we’re inclined to believe that this is potentially the chipset that will power it. Samsung likes to show off, and launching a new flagship on either of its current Exynos SoCs just isn’t the company’s style. 
What to expect? A new Exynos-branded ARM A15-based SoC capable of staggering processing power – we’re expecting something very impressive here.
Other rumours have broken that the Galaxy S4 will in fact feature a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU. This latest leak is based on a NenaMark2 benchmarking test, which also suggests the device will run on android 4.2 with a 800x480 pixel screen. We're sceptical, that's for sure.

Samsung Galaxy S4 – Release Date 

Latest reports suggest that Samsung is now testing a device, referred to internally as Project J, ahead of a suspected April launch event. If said device turns out to be the Galaxy S4 that could mean a May/June release is indeed on the cards.

 The first transistor was invented at Bell Laboratories on December 16, 1947 by William 

Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain. It later made possible the integrated circuit and 

microprocessor that are the basis of modern electronics. Prior to the transistor the only 

alternative to its current regulation and switching functions (TRANSfer resISTOR) was the 

vacuum tube, which could only be miniaturized to a certain extent, and wasted a lot of 

energy in the form of heat. 

Although video was possible with vacuum tube equipment, as was the case with the Ampex

VRX-1000, without the transistor video products would never have gotten very small.

World's Shortest man and woman meet for the first time.


Guinnessworldrecords.com can today reveal a sneak preview of the 57th edition of the world's best-selling copyright book, Guinness World Records 2013, with these exclusive pictures and video of the world's Shortest Man, Chandra Bahadur Dangi (54.6 cm), and the world's Shortest Woman, Jyoti Amge (62.8 cm), who met for the first time for the production of the new book.
The historic moment was recorded earlier this year and is the first time in history the shortest male and female in the world have met. Each wore traditional outfits from their native countries and smiled and laughed throughout.
To add scale to the picture, the classic Guinness World Records book - which measures 1ft tall (30cm) - was placed in between them.
Chandra Bahadur Dangi and Jyoti Amge
Marco Frigatti, Official Guinness World Records Adjudicator, who also took part in the shoot, said: "It was an extraordinary moment; they're both such incredible individuals. Everyone knew this was a special moment, the atmosphere was magical."
The picture and new footage coincides with the recent announcement that the world's Shortest Woman, Jyoti Amge, will visit the UK on the 13th of September to help launch the new Guinness World Records 2013 book.
Jyoti, from Nagpur, India, took the title of Shortest Living Woman when she reached the age of 18 in December last year.
She has a form of dwarfism called Achondroplasia and won't grow any taller than her current height. Due to her size, she has to have clothes and jewellery specially made. She sleeps in a tiny bed and uses special plates and cutlery to eat.  She loves fashion and make-up and is currently pursuing her dream of becoming successful actress in the movie business.  She has already starred in a number of Indian films.
Jyoti said: "Since being recognised by Guinness World Records I have been able to visit lots of different countries. I love travelling. I have visited Japan and parts of Europe and now I can't wait to visit the UK."
In February this year, Chandra Bahadur Dangi from Nepal made headlines across the globe when he was crowned the world's Shortest Man, standing at 54.6 cm (21.5 in).  His size also meant that he inherited the title of Shortest Man in history, breaking the previous record of India's Gul Mohammed (1957-97) who was 57 cm (22.5 in) tall. 
Chandra is 72 years old and weighs 14.5 kg (31 lb 15 oz). Until the recent record announcement, he had spent his entire life in the remote Nepalese mountain village of Rhimkholi, about 250 miles west of Kathmandu. He said: "I'm very happy that I'm being recognized by Guinness World Records and that my name will be written in a book.  It's a big thing for my family, my village and my country.  I am very happy."
Marco with the record Holders
The latest edition of the world's best-selling copyright book was first published in 1955 and has sold over 120 million copies to date in over 100 countries. For more amazing world records including the latest records in science, nature, sport, entertainment and everything else, check out the new Guinness World Records 2013 Edition available worldwide on Thursday 13th September.

Unbelievable true facts-II

Posted by Varatha krishnan On 0 comments
HOW COMPANIES GOT THEIR NAMES?

Adobe: This came from the name of the river Adobe Creek that ran behind the house of founder John Warnock.

CISCO: It is not an acronym as popularly believed. It's short for San Francisco.

Compaq: This name was formed by using COMP, for computer and PAQ to denote a small integral object.

Corel: The name was derived from the founder's name Dr. Michael Cowpland. It stands for COwpland Research Laboratory.

Hewlett Packard: Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett.

Intel: Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new company 'Moore Noyce' but that was already trademarked by a hotel chain so they had to settle for an acronym of INTegrated ELectronics.

Lotus (Notes): Mitch Kapor got the name for his company from 'The Lotus Position' or 'Padmasana'. Kapor used to be a teacher of transcendental Meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.


Microsoft: Coined by Bill Gates to represent the company that was devoted to MICROcomputer SOFTware. Originally christened Micro-Soft, the '-' was removed later on.

Motorola: Founder Paul Galvin came up with this name when his company started manufacturing radios for cars. The popular radio company at the time was called Victrola.

Sony: It originated from the Latin word 'sonus' meaning sound and 'sonny' as lang used by Americans to refer to a bright youngster.

SUN: Founded by 4 Stanford University buddies, SUN is the acronym for Stanford University Network. Andreas Bechtolsheim built a microcomputer; Vinod Khosla recruited him and Scott McNealy to manufacture computers based on it, and Bill Joy to develop a UNIX-based OS for the computer.

Apache: It got its name because its founders got started by applying patches to code written for NCSA's httpd daemon. The result was 'A PAtCHy' server - thus, the name Apache Jakarta (project from Apache): A project constituted by SUN and Apache to create a web server handling servlets and JSPs. Jakarta was name of the conference room at SUN where most of the meetings between SUN and Apache took place.

Tomcat: The servlet part of the Jakarta project. Tomcat was the code name for the JSDK 2.1 project inside SUN.

C: Dennis Ritchie improved on the B programming language and called it 'New B'. He later called it C. Earlier B was created by Ken Thompson as a revision of the Bon programming language (named after his wife Bonnie).
C++: Bjarne Stroustrup called his new language 'C with Classes' and then 'newC'. Because of which the original C began to be called 'old C' which was considered insulting to the C community. At this time Rick Mascitti suggested the name C++ as a successor to C.

GNU: A species of African antelope. Founder of the GNU project Richard Stallman liked the name because of the humour associated with its pronunciation and was also influenced by the children's song 'The Gnu Song' which is a song sung by a gnu. Also it fitted into the recursive acronym culture with 'GNU's Not Unix'.

Java: Originally called Oak by creator James Gosling, from the tree that stood outside his window, the programming team had to look for a substitute as there was no other language with the same name. Java was selected from a list of suggestions. It came from the name of the coffee that the programmers drank.

LG: Combination of two popular Korean brands Lucky and Goldstar.
Linux: Linus Torvalds originally used the Minix OS on his system which here placed by his OS. Hence the working name was Linux (Linus' Minix). He thought the name to be too egotistical and planned to name it Freax (free+freak+x). His friend Ari Lemmke encouraged Linus to upload it to a network so it could be easily downloaded. Ari gave Linus a directory called 'Linux' on his FTP server, as he did not like the name Freax. (Linus parents named him after two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling).

Mozilla: When Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape, created a browser to replace Mosaic (also developed by him), it was named Mozilla (Mosaic-Killer, Godzilla). The marketing guys didn't like the name however and it was re-christened Netscape Navigator.

Red Hat: Company founder Marc Ewing was given the Cornell lacrosse team cap (with red and white stripes) while at college by his grandfather. He lost it and had to search for it desperately. The manual of the beta version of Red Hat Linux had an appeal to readers to return his Red Hat if found by anyone!

SAP: "Systems, Applications, Products in Data Processing", formed by 4 ex-IBM employees who used to work in the 'Systems/Applications/Projects' group of IBM.

UNIX: When Bell Labs pulled out of MULTICS (MULTiplexed Information and Computing System), which was originally a joint Bell/GE/MIT project, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie of Bell Labs wrote a simpler version of the OS. They needed the OS to run the game 'Space War' which was compiled under MULTICS. It was called UNICS - UNIplexed operating and Computing System by Brian Kernighan. It was later shortened to UNIX.

SCO (UNIX): From Santa Cruz Operation. The company's office was in Santa Cruz.

Xerox: The inventor, Chestor Carlson, named his product trying to say 'dry' (as it was dry copying, markedly different from the then prevailing wet copying). The Greek root 'xer' means dry.

Yahoo: The word was invented by Jonathan Swift and used in his book 'Gulliver's Travels'. It represents a person who is repulsive in appearance and action and is barely human. Yahoo! founders Jerry Yang and David Filo selected the name because they considered themselves yahoos.
3M: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company started off by mining the material corundum used to make sandpaper. It was changed to 3M when the company changed its focus to Innovative Products.
