Robin Slogan: Highest twitter with more than 5 Billion posts

November 11th, 2009 admin

Robin Slogan who is the former Current Media Executive is said to have the highest twitter’s post around 5 billionth tweet. slogan wrote it in the form of an answer to another twitter who only read a part of the reply that is “Oh Lord”.

Gigatweet is a group or otherwise a third party who is counting the number of tweet’s in service. Few users are claiming that it is getting close to 5 billion and they are saying that twitter’s engineers are putting this number up for more than once. And may be more number of test tweets must have been send in early days.

“The Pentagigatweet” is the name given by Slogan to his tweet, has got a lot of importance because the number of URL is actually 5,000,000,000. The reason how we came to find this out is that the end of a tweet’s URL is the current running count of tweets given until that point. A mail has been send to the twitter’s co founder Mr.Biz Stone for still more information about this tweet, Hope he reply’s back.

This sounds strange but the twitter’s 5 billion tweet’s did not come from some huge marketers or some big celebrity company who are trying to provide service since some time now, But it came from a dot-com nerd from San Francisco. Slogan who was the first person to form loyal pack of users, left his gig recently in San Francisco which is only a few blocks away from Twitter’s base in near the neighboring area in the South Market.

Slogan wrote a book “Mr. Penumbra’s Twenty-Four-Hour Book Store,” which he will be funding through Kichstarter, a creative microfinanace site. He is getting more publicity now.

Few people have a opinion that Twitter’s rapid and extensive growth is slowing down. Around $1 billion funds have been raised by the company at a valuation in the neighborhood.

"Google Classic", the google search service at the end of Internet!

June 15th, 2009 admin

When you talk about internet giant, the first name that pops up is “google! Google is currently ruling the entire web with it into nearly every web technology you can think of. It is best known for its superfast and highly reliable search engine. But how would it survive when the internet comes to an end? Take a look below:

Google Post card

Google Post card

They will never stop giving you the search engine services. With the end of internet, google will resort to regular postal service for searching anything. Just that, this time the result will not be shown in 30 seconds, rather it would take 30 days for the same!

Amazing zoom in on google maps, Just unbelieveable

November 5th, 2008 admin

Well, you would be amazed at this one. Google sure got a new revolution in technology with its maps service. well not exactly revolution in technology, but atleast revolution in getting hands on technology!

With google maps you can see any location, get the directions and know which place is where. But would you believe, at times google maps can give you a real close shot of a place that you can identify the people by their faces and see what they are doing?

Yes its true. In some areas of the world, you can zoom in to such levels that you never imagined. For instance, have a look at the picture below:

Scares you, doesn’t it? that means there might be people watching what you do daily! Well, i am talking about those dudes and others who are always on system trying to peek into the world.

But really, this is cool. Comeon just imagine, zooming in so closing. And look at that fella looking all the up as if he knows we are taking his shot!

Some of you might be thinking this is fake, right? For all such bunnies, here is the link, see for your self:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f…m=1&iwloc=addr

Doesn’t this prove that Bush fooled everyone saying “we are going to catch Osama by going to Afghanistan”. If we could watch any tom, dick and harry, couldn’t our government simply see what he is upto in some part of the world? What a lie over Oil capture!

New Scientific Break Through! Large Hadron Collider Tests Begin

September 11th, 2008 admin

Another great break through for mankind, the recent news of beginning of particle collider tests takes us to the next level of Science. The History of this project goes back to as late as 1984 when it first got incepted. This new break through can now open the mysteries of knowing the dimensions of Time and Space.

On Wednesday, 10th September 2008, The world’s largest Particle collider passed its first major tests by firing two beams of protons in opposite directions around a 17-mile underground ring. At around 10:26 am, two white dots flashed on the screens after series of trials. These flashing dots indicate that the protons had traveled a full length through the Large Hadron Collider. This Large Hadron Collider was built at a cost of whopping $3.8 Billion and is the history’s Biggest Science Experiment.

With this all the physicists have much more power to crush the atoms to know more details about it. The Organization carrying out this experiment is called “CERN”, by its french name. It began these tests by shooting protons through the tunnel in steps with first shot at 9:35 am. Another shot was fired about 5 hours later in anti clockwise direction.

Two beams would finally be fired in opposite directions in order to reproduce the effect of Big Bang, The theory behind creation of Universe. This collider is designed to make protons travel at the speed of light, zooming 11,000 times per second around the tunnel. These beams are fired through two hoses, speeding through the vacuum that is colder and emptier than outer space. The collide of protons would finally happen when both beam cross each other eventually and a set of large and heavy digital cameras would take pictures of the collision. The cameras have the capability of taking millions of shots per second.

These CERN experiments could reveal more about the Dark Matter and Anti matter. The hypothetical particle, called “Gods particle” could also be possibly detected. Though dangers involve in this expriment, particularly when the beam is fired at full power, there are high chances of the accelerator getting damaged.

Lets wait and see when the experiments are officially and properly carried out. No dates have been set yet, but possibly these expriments would resume within few months.

Chrome: Google's Reply to Browser Giants

September 11th, 2008 admin

In already fierce battle of Browsers, there seems to be a new competitor. Guess what? Its again Google creating a hostile environment with its technology.

Google has announced the Beta version of its browser, called the Chrome, which is all set to win over users from other browsers. This browser has a comic feel in it and is entirely different from any other browser used in the past. It uses Web kit engine just like Safari and has been developed right from scratch to work without any error.

Chrome comes with some amazing features when compared to the Browser giants like Mozilla Firefox, IE, Opera or Netscape. Though the differences appear to be very simple, they can have great effect on the way it is used.

First of all, every tab in chrome works as an independent browser and has nothing to do with any other tab within it. If say one tab crashes, only that is closed and all other tabs have no effect on them. This is a great feature for people who use multiple tabs.

Second advantage is the all new JavaScript engine which is much more faster than previous fastest browsers. Multithreading is another feature. There is also a built in task manager which shows which takes how much memory or CPU time.

We made an attempt to use this new chrome with other browsers and see if it worked better. We installed all the browsers without any plugins. We tested it on our notebook which has intel centrino duo core, 4 gb ram and works on vista.

First, we checked the launch time of each browser which is very crucial for users. The following was the outcome: IE – 1 second, Firefox – 2 Seconds, Opera – 3 Seconds and Chrome – 1 Second.

Then we checked the java script speed. With several tests already in place to check Javascript speeds, we tried one of them. Opera gave handled it in 600 milliseconds which was lowest amongst the three old browsers. on the other hand, Chrome completed it in just 350 milliseconds. That was damn too fast!

However, these results might vary in different cases. Chrome truly has an advanced JavaScript engine which can beat any other browser in competition.

We now checked the memory usage with 5 tabs. The results were: IE – 60 MB, Firefox – 64.4 MB, Opera – 52.2 MB and Chrome – 75.4 MB. On the face of it, it seems that chrome is using more memory.

However, we checked the results again after 11 minutes of usage. The results were: IE – 96 MB, Firefox – 109.8 MB, Opera – 96.6 MB and Chrome – 84.1 MB. Well, chrome again proved to be exceptional in memory usage.

These were some of the experimental tests carried out by us to check the chromes chances of surviving. It sure proved that Chrome is here to stay and can bring a revolution in the browser world. What more, Google is going to keep chrome as open-source, which means developers can come up with better versions of it going forward. The final and user version of chrome will soon be released. Only Time would tell its performance in the real world. Anyways, Kudos to Google!
