Self Appraisal

Its Just Awesome... Just Read it....


A Little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a store and dialed a number. The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:

Boy: “Lady, can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?”

Woman: (at the other end of the phone line) “I already have someone to cut my lawn.”

Boy: “Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person who cuts your lawn now.”

Woman: “I’m very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting the lawn.”

Boy: (with more perseverance) “Lady, I’ll even sweep the floor and the stairs of your house for free.”

Woman: “No, thank you.”

With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy.

Store-owner: “Son….I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job.”

Boy: “No thanks.”

Store-owner: “But you were really pleading for one.”

Boy: “No Sir, I was just checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!”

8 Traits That Lead To Great Success

8 Traits That Lead To Great Success --->

A lot of us want to know, “What really leads to success?”
Success expert and world acclaimed author, Richard St. John spent 10 years trying to divulge the secret behind achieving success. In his book “8 To Be Great”, he shares what he learned from every extraordinarily successful people he interviewed. It comes as a surprising revelation that the secret to success can be summed up into the following 8 factors:

1. Passion – Successful people do things for love, not money.

2. Work- Great people are hard workers. In order to be successful in anything, you have to work hard. Be workafrolic and not a workaholic. Work hard, and have fun doing it.

3. Focus – By narrowing your focus to one thing, you are walking your way to greatness. Don’t get easily distracted by other things. Focus hard and get the job done.

4. Push – Push yourself to the limit. Combat shyness and self-doubts and just push yourself to the limit so you can become all that you want to be.

5. Ideas – Every great thing starts with an idea. Unfortunately, ideas are hard to come by and knowing which ideas will lead to something significant can be tricky. To help you come up with ideas, here are 5 easy tips from Richard St John:
Be curious
Listen to people
Look around
Write it down
Connect things

6. Improve – A lot of great people would not be where they are right now if they stopped improving themselves. Never stop improving yourself and keep in mind that practice makes a lot of difference.

7. Serve – Great people don’t do things for themselves; they try to offer people something that may be of value- be it services, products, tips, or anything else.
By selflessly serving other people, they gain something back without actually asking for it.

8. Persist – Greatness does not happen overnight, and it takes time for people to succeed. Oftentimes, we get sidetracked and discouraged by uncertainty and fears. When all else fails, persist!

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT FROM BEING HACKED ????

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT FROM BEING HACKED - ADVICE FROM HACKERS.

We've been giving tips on how to hack but also we should show you how to protect yourself from other hackers so you always be one step ahead.
So here are the tips, straight from hackers’ mouths on how to protect your facebook account from being hacked:

If you are ever asked to enter your Facebook password, confirm that the URL is www.facebook. com. Hackers will try to trick you by displaying fake login pages (phishing), but faking the URL is much harder to do.

Always make sure you are using an SSL/HTTPS connection anytime you are entering your password (in fact, you should use it every chance you get).

Even after you login to Facebook, an attacker could still try to steal your cookies and pretend to be you with them.

Don’t click on any links in emails you receive from Facebook — instead open Facebook manually and use the notification feature to see the friend request, etc. Faking a friend request, notification that you have been tagged, etc., is very easy to do, and an attacker will replace the links in the email with links taking you to fake login pages to steal your credentials.

Your Facebook password should be unique: Don’t use it anywhere else. If your Facebook password is the same as your banking or email password, then the damage of losing it is greater than just Facebook.

The others are general common sense stuff like not leaving your account logged in on devices that are not yours and not giving people your password :)

How to detect Fake Indian Notes

Problematic issue like circulation of Fake Indian Currency deeply touches mental state of Indian Economy think tank. Because it hurts growth rate of Economy and also starting chain of acceptance of fake currency. As you know well fake currency are circulated in majority of Indian Market. So, the responsibility of detention of these Fake Currency from existing market and preventing of circulation are uphill tasks for concerned authority. Ignorance to not identifying fake currency are main reason behind circulation of fake money. The menace could be sort out through awareness programme at various level.

However, department of Currency Management has been actively engaged to spread out the message to identify fake Indian Money. Right now, to curb situation like this RBI has come with an other awareness solution. It has introduced a websitewww.paisaboltahai.rbi.org.in with tagline of ‘Pehchano Paise Ki Boli, Kyunki Paisa Bolta hai’. In fact RBI has pointed all specific location on of each denomination note. After paying heed to instruction, which mentioned below, anybody will be able to detect fake Indian note.

Each genuine Indian currency has all these features. Therefore, pay heeds and avoid acceptance of fake currency. As a example we are presenting graphic of Rs. 1000 banknote with all specific location, whichever pointed out by RBI to curb fake currency issue: -
See though Register: The floral designs printed on both front and reverse in the middle of vertical band next to watermark.



Watermark: Hidden portrait of MK Gandhi with value showing money.

Optically Variable Ink: The colour of printed note value turns green when banknote is held flat would change to blue when tilted to an angle.

Fluorescence: It shows banknote series, number panel, security thread.

Security Thread: It has inscriptions of RBI, ‘Bharat’ and Banknote value. It looks like continuous line when viewed against light.

Intaglio Printing: The portrait of Mahatma Gandhi with RBI seal showing amount of banknote.

Latent Image: The extremely right vertical band contains value of note in hidden form.

Micro Lettering: It can be seen through magnifying glass, which shows RBI and value of Banknote.

Identification Mark: A sign stays extremely left and below to See through Register, which helps visually impaired persons to identify denomination.

Year of Printing: It appears on the reverse of banknote.


Through help of these noting points matter of eradication of fake currency could be completed. Hoping you all will be benefited with suggestion like above mention.

Steve Jobs' Awesome Convocation Speech at Stanford

Steve Jobs' Awesome Convocation Speech at Stanford



Thank you. I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college, and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today, I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.




The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?




It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.




So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy; Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college. This was the start in my life.




And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.




So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.




It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned coke bottles for the five cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.




Let me give you one example:




Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.




None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the "Mac" would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.




If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years later.




Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the wellworn path, and

that will make all the difference.




My second story is about love and loss.




I was lucky I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz¹ and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion dollar company with over 4000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation the Macintosh a year earlier, and I had just turned 30.




And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. And so at 30, I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.




I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down --that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me: I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.




I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.




During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT; another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, and I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.




I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometime life sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love.




And that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and --don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking don't settle.




My third story is about death.




When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I've looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.




Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.




About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for "prepare to die." It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes. I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I'm fine now. This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept: No one wants to die.




Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It's Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true.




Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.




And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the "bibles" of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 60s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was

sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along. It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions.




Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous.



Beneath it were the words:




"Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I've always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin a new, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry.

Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

VTU changes printing process to plug question paper leaks

VTU adopts new method for printing question papers

Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belgaum will adopt the new method for printing the question papers from the next semester exams to overcome the questions papers leakage. During engineering first semester exams was held in December 2012, it found that the Mathematics paper was leaked 30 minutes before the exam. This lead to postponement of mathematics exam. To overcome these kind of issues from next semester, the university has eliminated the outsiders for printing the question papers and have a new method of printing the papers. VTU Vice-Chancellor, Dr. H. Maheshappa said that the paper leak was found that, the outsiders involved in the paper printing were responsible for the leak. From next semester exams, only the principals of the respective colleges will be involved in printing the question papers. Supporting the present system, a CD of coded encrypted question paper with a key to access the paper will be provided to the respective examination centres. In new method of printing of question papers, a third party vendor is hired to print the question papers 25 minutes before the exam and principal of the colleges, deputy chief external examiner from the other colleges nominated by the VTU and deputy chief internal examiner of the college will allowed in the process of printing the question papers. Each of these three people is given access to colour-coded keys which pop up as soon as the delivery window is opened. The third party vendor will collect these codes from three persons and types in the combination of the keys to access the question papers in the question paper printing delivery system, which verifies the correctness of the keys. Once the codes are correct, then the question papers will be accessed and printed. The VTU has decided to handle the process of printing the question papers by the respective colleges principals only. Maheshappa said, "The paper will be automatically deleted from the system one the required number of question papers is printed,"

VTU changes printing process to plug question paper leaks





Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) will change the process of question paper printing from the next semester, after the university officials faced embarrassment following question paper leak in the first semester examinations.

During the first semester exams held in December last, Mathematics paper was leaked ten minutes before the start of the exam leading to chaos and re-examination. To avoid such situations, the varsity has now eliminated outsiders involved in question paper printing.

Speaking to Deccan Herald, VTU Vice Chancellor Maheshappa said a probe into the leak found that the outsiders involved in the paper printing were responsible for the leak. From now on, only the principals of the respective colleges will be involved in printing question papers.

Under the present system, a CD of questions stored in encrypted form and the key to access the coded paper is provided to the respective examination centres.

A third party vendor is hired to print the question papers 25 minutes before the exam. Other involved in the process are the principal of the college, deputy chief (external) from other colleges nominated by VTU and deputy chief (internal) who is a professor or an assistant professor in the college.

Each of these three people is given access to colour-coded keys which pop up as soon as the delivery window is opened.

The third-party vendor will collect these coded keys and types in the combination of the keys to access the question paper in the Question Paper Delivery System, which verifies the correctness of the keys.

If it is correct, then the papers can be accessed and printed. With the probe pointing fingers at the outside vendors, the VTU has decided to let the principals of the colleges themselves handle the job of printing the question papers.

“The paper will automatically be deleted from the system once the stipulated number of copies is printed,” Maheshappa said.

He rubbished claims that as many as 20 question papers were leaked during the exams held in December.

Recently, the Dean of Engineering, Prof Debaraj, resigned stating that the varsity had failed to admit the other paper leaks.

Prof Debaraj, who was the chairman of the committee set up to probe the Mathematics paper leak, claimed that the university was tight-lipped on 20 paper-leaks that took place during that exam.

Maheshappa, however, denied it and claimed that a section of the university was trying to malign him.

Five features iOS should steal from Android

Five features iOS should steal from Android

If you've come anywhere near a tech site in the last year or so, you've heard it all before. "iOS is getting stale compared to Android! It needs some new ideas!" Whether that's actually true is up for (heated) debate, but those with an open mind are usually willing to acknowledge that Apple and Google could afford to swap a few ideas when it comes to their mobile OSes.

So in a fantasy world where we could bring over some of the better Android features to iOS, which features would those be? Among the Ars staff, we sometimes have spirited "conversations" about what aspects would be the best for each company to photocopy. So, we thought we'd pick a few that might go over well with iOS users. Don't worry, we have a companion post of features that Android could afford to steal from iOS. The copying can go both ways.

No one wants iOS to become Android or vice versa. This is about recognizing how to improve iOS with features that would be useful to people depending on their smartphones for more than the occasional text or phone call. We recognize that Apple tries to keep an eye towards elegant implementation, too. So which features are we talking about? Glad you asked...

Google Now-style contextual services

For those who aren't familiar with Google Now, it can be a little complex to explain due to its wide range of services. (Check out Ryan Paul's writeup about it last August here on Ars.) On one side, Google Now does Siri-like voice actions, but that's not the part we want Apple to take from Android. The part we want is Google Now's ability to provide notifications and other services based on a range of contextual information, such as your location, whether you're physically moving or not, your schedule, and so on.

"Google Now can display similar routing and traffic notifications for places that the user intends to go, by scanning the upcoming appointments in the user’s calendar. When the user approaches a mass transit station, the software displays transportation schedules. It can also inform the user when they are close to points of interest—but living in the incredibly dull suburbs outside of LA, I have yet to see this feature in action," Paul wrote in his piece.

But Google Now can do other things too, like examine your past search history in order to find out which sports teams you follow regularly or whether you've looked up a flight recently. The service will then start offering you notifications with updates about this information. Or, as Ars Technical Director Jason Marlin pointed out, Google Now can remind you that visitors are in town based on forwarded itineraries in your e-mail, or alert you that a package is out for delivery—all without you having to set up those kinds of notifications.

There will certainly be users who don't like the idea of Apple automatically filtering through their e-mail or constantly reading their GPS location. But it should be something you can opt in and out of easily. And for those of us that are more comfortable with such a feature, wouldn't it be nice if Siri could perform these same (or similar) functions?

Quick settings in the Notification Center

There are some device settings we just plain use more than others on a daily basis. For me, it's the Wi-Fi on/off toggle on my iPhone, because my very Comcastic home Internet connection can't seem to stay up when I need it. For others, it might be the screen brightness control, the Do Not Disturb switch, or the Personal Hotspot toggle.

Android users are able to access certain settings via their own version of the Notification Center, allowing them a quick and easy way to toggle these without having to jump all the way out of an app, into the Settings app, and back. As reviews editor Florence Ion said, "It’s frustrating having to switch back to the settings to take care of the brightness if I’m in the middle of watching something on Hulu."

If you could pull down the Notification shade while inside of a third-party app, you could adjust the brightness (or turn off Wi-Fi, or turn on Do Not Disturb) without having to leave the app in the first place. At the very least, a feature like this would greatly reduce the number of taps required in order to get a task done, thereby simplifying the usability and making the iOS experience that much more enjoyable.







Autocorrect and spelling suggestions

It's no secret that Apple's method of offering spelling suggestions and autocorrect can be a huge frustration for iOS users. You're just typing along with your thumbs when iOS decides something you've written—perhaps street names or just plain obscure words—isn't right. At this point, iOS begins to tell you what word it's going to autocorrect to if you don't tap on your original word to tell it "no." If you're like me, you tap on your original word over and over and over with your fat fingers, but iOS autocorrects to its own word anyway. Then you have to backspace over the entire thing and start over—usually battling with iOS yet again over the spelling of your original word. Wash, rinse, repeat.

And, of course, there is no directly user-editable word dictionary in iOS. You either have to enter your obscure words as text macros (which is not exactly the original intention of that feature), or simply hope the app in question eventually figures out the spelling you wanted after entering it a thousand times.

There has to be a more elegant way of doing this, right? Android users seem to have the better end of the stick when it comes to handling autocorrections and spelling. When typing out a weird word, the OS will offer alternate spellings as buttons above the keyboard. But more importantly, if it manages to autocorrect your word to something you didn't want, a single backspace will restore the original spelling. And, it will ask you if you want to add that word to your dictionary to boot. For the sake of all our sanity, Apple should adopt this kind of autocorrect behavior, stat!

The ability to set default apps

You know the drill: perhaps you prefer Chrome over mobile Safari on your iPhone, but every time you tap a link from e-mail it opens in Safari anyway. Or perhaps you like Google Maps or Waze, but anytime you try to get directions from another app, it forces you to use Apple's Maps app. There's no way to change which apps are used by the OS as defaults for these actions—you're held hostage with Apple's own apps as the default.

Do iOS users know how to beat a dead horse on this topic? Yes. But that doesn't make this feature any less desirable, especially since our Android-using friends get to throw it in our faces all the time. When they launch a new browser, the OS asks them if they want to set it as the default—thanks to the fact that Android can recognize when you have multiple apps installed to perform similar functions. Alternately, they can change their default apps in their settings by going into an application manager to choose whether that app launches by default for certain functions.

"The nice thing is that with pictures, for instance, I can select which app to edit in without going into another app and looking it up in the gallery," Ion said. Indeed, while perhaps not every iOS user wants this feature, enough of us care about it to make it a worthwhile addition to iOS.

Home screen shortcuts to places within apps

iOS allows users to set home screen icons that act as quick bookmarks to Web apps or other Web pages in Safari. This is pretty convenient, but you can't use that same functionality to set a shortcut to a "page" or functionality within native apps. Our Android friends can, though, giving them easy access to certain information without having to navigate there every time.

"I can set a shortcut in Google Maps Navigation as an icon on my homepage. For instance, if I’m lost in the car and need to get home, all I have to do is press the icon that I made and it launches the Navigation to my home address," Ion said. "I know that iOS has this for bookmarks and the like, but I like being able to do this with specific applications."

Indeed, there are numerous iOS apps I use on a regular basis that force me to navigate all the way through several screens before getting the information I want. If I could create a new home screen icon that links directly to a certain functionality within an app—third-party or otherwise—it would significantly cut down on taps. (And in the winter when it's 11°F outside, that means less time with my poor, uncovered flesh being exposed.)

This may be the least likely of all the suggestions here, but it's one that could be potentially useful to the greatest number of users. Just think: how many of you have at least one iOS home screen shortcut to a Web page? Exactly.

Stressed? Too much to do???

How famous Brand Names were created..??

How famous Brand Names were created..??


Let's have a look..

APPLE COMPUTERS:
It was the favorite fruit of founder Steve Jobs. He was three months late in filing a name for the business, and he threatened to call his company Apple Computers if the other colleagues didn't suggest a better name by 5 O'clock that evening.

MERCEDES:
This was actually the financier's daughter's name.

ADOBE:
This came from 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 is short name 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 REsearchLaboratory.

GOOGLE:
The name started as a joke boasting about the amount of information the search-engine would be able to search. It was originally named 'Googol', a word for the number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros. After founders- Stanford graduate students Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor, they received a cheque made out to 'Google' ...thus the name.

HOTMAIL:
Founder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing e-mail via the web from a computer anywhere in the world. When Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business plan for the mail service, he tried all kinds of names ending in 'mail' and finally settled for hotmail as it included the letters "html" - the programming language used to write web pages. It was initially referred to as HoTMaiL with selective uppercasing.

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.

Main Differences between windows 7 and windows 8

Main Differences between windows 7 and windows 8

1)boot time: win7 48 sec. win8 10sec.

2)desktop : Microsoft has

replaced
the normal shortcut icons with
dynamic tiles. You can change
their
size and place similar applications
around each other- or
anything else
that my suit you.
3)mounting iso images:
Windows 7 could only burn an ISO image
to a
DVD but Windows 8 actually
betters
this by offering you the
option to mount the image too. In
Windows
7, you didn’t have the option
to
make virtual drives to use the
ISO image’s content but Windows
8
allows you to
create a virtual drive to mount
the
ISO image so that you can easily use
it just like a normal DVD.
4)Built-in Antivirus(bad news
for
hackers): Windows 8 has an
antivirus present inside the kernel
of the operating system. This
means
that
your system won’t boot if a
corrupt USB device is plugged in. It
sounds
impressive though I don’t
know
whether it would pass the test
of time…. and viruses! All in all, I
do
expect Windows 8 to be a
serious
upgrade on Windows 7 and
with Microsoft working on the
things
that require some tweaking; I
genuinely believe that
Microsoft is
finally ready to launch an OS which
will take the world by storm
5)Multiple monitors support in
Windows : Microsoft
announced that
customers can use more thanone
monitor to connect with
Windows 8
operating system. Windows 8
PC
management allows customers to
use multiple monitors at same
time.
It means Windows 8 offers
flexibility by allowing start
screen at one monitor and desktop in
another. Customer can also
choose
taskbar on both screens with
different icons on each
monitor. Moreover, you can play with
background images as well by
changing it separate on each
monitor. Such support is not
available with Windows 7
operating system.
6)Windows based apps store
Windows 8 operating system
introduces new app store in
which
different apps is implementedfor
various devices and settingson
right
of the screen. The settings
section
includes contextual apps like volume, brightness,
restart
and
power options. You can share
content, links, app reviews,
contacts, metro apps,
Facebook and twitter applications with your
friends or colleagues. Windows
8
store offers both desktop apps
and
ecosystem for developers. On the
other hand, Windows 7 OS is
missing all these features.
7)Inbuilt Windows Touch
features:
The main difference between Windows 7 and
Windows 8
comes
with its metro style interface
that
provides live title of rectangle
shape which has replaced theicon
pattern
in Windows
8. In Windows 7 operating
system,
software shortcuts are in theform
of icons. As far as the touch
interface is concerned then
Windows
9) supports touch interface but
not that much, what was
expected. So,
Windows 8 comes with true
touch
interface for Metro style apps.
It is fast way of accessing data by
using
an improved on-screen
keyboard
and handwriting recognition

NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!!! DON'T LET GO OF HOPE...

DON'T LET GO OF HOPE

Hope gives you the strength to keep going
when you feel like giving up.

Don’t ever quit believing in yourself.
As long as you believe you can,
you will have a reason for trying.

Don’t let anyone hold your happiness in their hands;
hold it in your own, so it will always be within your reach.

Don’t measure success or failure by material wealth,
but by how you feel. Our feelings determine the riches in our lives.

Don’t let bad moments overcome you.
Be patient, and they will pass.

Don’t hesitate to reach out for help;
we all need it from time to time.

Don’t runaway from Love, but towards love;
because it is our deepest joy.

Don’t wait for what you want to come to you.
Go after it with all that you are;
knowing that life will meet you half way.

Don’t feel like you’ve lost when plans
and dreams fall short of your hopes.

Anytime you learn something new about yourself,
or about life, you have progressed.
