Ipill, The Intelligent Pill!

<– That thing is an ipill. No not the ipill you're thinking of, not the anti-pregnancy thing. This thing here is a beauty developed by Philips, still not being manufactured comercially, but you'll see it soon enough. You swallow it. It gives you your meds. Interesting new gadgetry. Interesting idea.

"The iPill releases medicine from its drug reservoir via a microprocessor controlled pump, allowing accurate programmable drug delivery. In addition, the capsule is designed to measure local temperature, and report measurements wirelessly to an external receiver unit."

Can you imagine for some of us folks who take multiple meds a day? Would we be electrocuted if one of our magic electronic pills shorted out and sparked a chain reaction? But what if you have diverticulitis? What if you get constipated? And just how much would an iPill cost? Two arms and one leg, I’m betting. At least, for those of us of the working poor uninsured masses. Well at the prototype stage, its around $1000, which would significantly come down if the concept becomes popular.

I can’t wait til the ePill comes out and we just log in to get our meds. It can’t be that far away. I’m all about being ready for that one.

The Return Of The Jedi (MSP)

Guess Who's Back!! Back Again.... hehe!!

Alright now, its been a long time! And if you're wondering what i've been doing all this time? or why i'd stopped posting? KEEP WONDERING... [;)]

So first things first... i am an MSP now (ummm.. whats that??). And it says there that one of my responsibilities among the lot is to maintain a blog.. so i contemplated creating a new one (its free after all), but then thought why not continue with this Skein Biogenesis.

So now you can expect reading a bit less of random thoughts and happenings here and i'd rather let this bit of webspace take a more informative turn (yea, movies count as informative). Also, through this space now you'll get all the news about new developments and researches microsoft's coming up with (their beta versions too), and you are free to comment, criticise, praise, acknowledge or just show ur unresponsive, unaffected behaviour towards them!

So here's to a new beggining.. a new start.. Cheers!!!

Finale....

THE BLOG IS DOWN..

Blonde vs Blonde

Yeh hai Dilli meri jaan!

Ok, here's something interesting i found and thought would share it... Its about our very own city DELHI.... its hardly 2 years in delhi and i feel like a true blue delhite.. now places like NFC, CP, and other concepts that only a delhite could understand aren't foreign to me anymore. :)

"Many many years ago someone named all of Delhi’s ‘Clonies.’ At that time I’m sure that all the names were very accurate and well thought of. However over time things have changed and now the situation on the ground is very different. See if you recognize these colonies.

UnGreen Park is where it’s almost impossible to find anything green, the whole colony is virtually stone and concrete. While at Uday No Park, you just can’t find a place to park your car… careful don’t park there, someone may shoot you. Then there is that lovely colony where so
many retired people live, they all have gentle stomachs that poke out, yup it’s Paunchsheel Park.

How about that colony where there are so many foreigners that the Pan Shops accept foreign currency, welcome to Dollar Vihar. The poorer foreigners however get straight off the train and head for Ferung Gunj, where you can get bed and breakfast for 10 dollars.

In Alligator Kailash II, where there are millionaires lurking behind every bush, tree and stream with just their eyes poking out from their 15 foot fences, like stalking alligators. This is the newer money of course. The old money is in Crore Bagh, where they played Kaun Benega Crorepati forty years back, and all the millionaires hide in middle class houses.

Near my colony is Chitto and Ronjon’s Park where you can get bherry good pheesh and find Chatterjee, Bannerjee and Mukherjee building up enargy.
Moving to Lutyen’s Delhi there is Cannotplace where you cannot even place a cycle because it is so crowded. Near that is Got Links, a colony where everyone has links. And it seems, BMWs.
Then there was this quiet nice little colony which had a nice cinema hall but we will have to rename it Sankat because they are building 5 malls there and messing up everything.
Despite being the largest colony in Asia there is Lonely Kunj, which seems very far removed from Delhi. On the other hand RKRKRK Puram is the largest government colony in Asia so it has to be officially spelt in triplicate.

Which brings us to our two famous Satellites. There is GarbarGaon where- from water, to roads, to electricity there’s big trouble. And there is the wild west – where the fastest guns survive… Nevada. "

Well, as for me i live in FARIDABAD... where its all mud, all dirt, potholes are as big as craters on the moon! dont't get me started on faridabad please!!!!!!

More Than Paranthas

hmmm!!!

That's a Murg Methi Malai, a chicken tikka parantha and a chicken tikka methi parantha.. onions, green chutney... and thats about it!! a hearty meal! a satisfying meal... a heavy meal!!

More than paranthas!! thats the name of the place... well it didn't really live upto its name this time around.. the paranthas were decent and nothing special... the chicken was quite good, not exactly upto my taste buds, but thats just because my taste buds are habitual to the spicy and very oily butter chicken stuff.. this one was different, this was creamy, rich and filled with dry fruits of which am not really fond of!

After the VERY HEAVY meal, theres booze waiting for us.... and yea.. all this is when we have our WD sessional tomorrow... sessionals are like a party this time around... you go for the college for a few hours and the rest of the day is like a bunk! Party away in the evening and laze around in the morning... and its time for the exam...lets move!! haha!!

Right now, we're full, we are intoxicated with all the chicken we've eaten and theres still the beer bottles in the freezer!! its gonna be a short day tomorrow!! hopefully i'l wake up before the exam! CHEERS!!

Warranty Extended!!

So, Finally it feels as if I've won a case in the court or something...
The Dell Issue finally got resolved!

Received a mail from an executive of theirs confirming that my lappy's warranty had been extended, however they could not do anything about the other freebies that my salesperson had promised me, namely the optical mouse and the accessory kit. Initially i was skeptic about the warranty, had speculated that the Dell folks would crib about the warranty but would easily give away the mouse and kit.. it turned out to be the other way around though, and no one's complaining![:D]



This is what i received from the Dell executive... a screenshot of what the dell database might look like... It contains everything, right from my name, to my address, to my order date to the date the lappy was delivered!! :)

Internet goes 3-D

Now here's something interesting, How about 3-D websites??? yeah yeah i know there are 3-d websites, but those are like just a single website which might have 3-d functionality... how about a tool which could convert any website on your browser into 3-D?? That would be way cool, it could change the way internet works!!

Just to illustrate.. i quote..
"Browsers can use the tool to turn their social networking pages on sites such as Facebook and MySpace into a virtual apartment, where photographs are displayed on the wall and links to friends are "doors" leading to other apartments. Users can customise their flats by "decorating" with 3D versions of couches from stores such as Ikea or downloading an e-jukebox to play music clips stored on their personal page."

So you go on like.."i'll visit my friends apartment online today..".... "hey check out the new couch i bought for my apartment".... way cool!!

Check out the whole story here.

Winters Approaching

Its a turn of events, its a turn of the weather, and both have been for the good! Life's getting on the smoother road... i hope it is!

The main thing to be discussed at the moment is the weather... Its been awefully nice!! its been chilly!! the fans are off, the sheets are out! The sun hasn't shown for two days now, and that's what i like... Funny, how all other people seem to yearn for the sun to shine and I'm like praying... no no no, let it be like this, let it be cloudy, let it be overcast! I should've been born in England ;).

OK, so lets see... its sessionals from monday, currently I'm not prepared with anything.. its gonna be a long day tomorrow. Will have to spend the night with "Analysis and Design of Algorithms"... man. this is torture!

Meanwhile, news pours in that there's been a blast in Pakistan now... wtf man... Terrorists are like infiltrating everywhere... folks at home tell me how Chandigarh is on high alert and its traffic jams everywhere... the country is in a sensitive situation right now... When will the "War On Terrorism" end??
For the time being, i enjoy the weather... will get some algorithms done with tonight and looking forward to a heavy breakfast tomorrow!! :D
