Idea for Facebook Profile
I was wondering...
:)
Since Facebook as started behaving as twitter, I was wondering if it could also come up with some ways to have some info on who just visited my profile.
I would love to have such widget. Such widget ideas do already exist in the world. It is just matter of being able to integrate them. When I talked about the widget, I was referring to one just like the stumbleupon feature. There are similar widget in Mybloglog and Blogcatalog which shows the recent visitors...
Next would be Facebook Email(/send as private message).
You can see clear mentality behind these ... If I can not come up with new ways to impress people, I will try to clone the ideas and mix them up and sell it as cocktail!

if you can read this, you have a strange mind too. can you read this? only 56 people out of 100 can. i couldn't believe that i could actually understand what i was reading. the phenomenal power of the human mind, according to a research at the Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and the last letter be in the right place, the rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. this is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. amazing huh? yeah and i always thought spelling was important!

How Bacteria Communicate: Next Gen AntiBiotics
I came across an outstanding talk by Bonnie Bassler in TED. The talk is on the molecular biology. I used to be a good student of Biology during my Undergraduate classes in Nepal.
Traditionally we have been killing the Bacteria and hence evolution will make the mutant bacteria which are resistant to the AntiBiotics. We have seen the failure of the same medicine over the time because of such development of drug resistant properties of Bacteria. In this talk she talks about the new way to cure the attack of bacteria.
It is amazing in the sense that it turns the things around.
How?
Watch the video...
If they can not communicate... they can not launch the attack!

Portable Ubuntu: Run Ubuntu Inside Windows
I found an interesting article about running Ubuntu inside Windows.
head on to lifehacker ...
My Recommendation would be to have a separate partition for Ubuntu and run it!

The Rock Obama: Angry Version of Barack Obama
Everyone has seen the calm part of President Obama. A preview of angry part of Barack Obama was just unleashed by Saturday Night Live.

I liked the way THE ROCK did his job.
