Microsoft’s glimpse into the future of Technology.
Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo Mobile is back with its next bang in the market. After presenting the world’s thinnest mobile phone this July, Oppo Mobile is here with its new flagship, Oppo find 5. Its a quad-core flagship with 1080p display(yes, it can put your TV screen on shame), sporting the mind-blowing pixel density of 441ppi. A 441ppi pixel density is roughly 100ppi better than the next best smartphone and a cool 115ppi better than the Apple iPhone 5. The rest of the Oppo Find 5 rumored specs include a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, 2GB of RAM, 12MP camera, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and a 2500mAh battery.
My experience with Data Mining has not been superb but still I feel that Data Mining is quite interesting subject to study specially when you know exactly how and where you will be using the tools and algorithms. It comes out to be more interesting if you ever try to find amazing statistics of data and its usage. I did some digging around the web and found some interesting statistics. I have already posted some statistics about facebook in last few posts so I will not repeat that and will present few fresh cards.

Sanket is not showing his face in the class and nobody cares. He has been a consistent student in every semester (consistent for not attending classes!). He is my good friend so I decided to dig the situation and find the reason. Earlier I thought that he may be busy in his usual stuffs of P viz. Python, Pypi(she is the c@, watch her) and (extremely)long midnight Phone calls with yet another P. But what I have found is astonishing. He is in a quest for dead man’s blood. At first, I was not able to understand the situation. After further digging I found that Shekhar too has good share for Sanket’s condition. But I can’t put all blames only in his bag. Since I am the author of this post I can easily omit any involvement of mine (if any)! Now the situation is crystal clear to me.
Actually it began before the mid-semester exam (mid-October) when I had completed six episodes of Sherlock (thanks to Shekhar). I spent next two days to find the method for death-escape for Holmes. Fortunately I was able to get fairly reasonable plan which Sherlock Holmes might use for his death-escape. After finishing up sherlock, fortunately or unfortunately, Shekhar again cane to rescue and provided all episodes of first season of ‘supernatural’. I completed first season during examination and second season during vacation in home and third season again in college. Meanwhile, Sanket was also watching ‘supernatural’ but he took it little more seriously. He completed all episodes of first three seasons by watching back to back(with small breaks of playing with python codes and tweaking css for our secret project) It is important to note that Shekhar had started watching third season of ‘supernatural’ before summer vacation(May) and still he has not completed half of it(now I understood how he gets top rank in the class). Anyway, back to Sanket . .watching more than 60 episodes in such a short time put a troll on him. Now he consider himself as a demon hunter. He has started keeping salt on door and windows to keep demons, ghosts and other supernatural things out of his room. He now keeps cross(made of silver and made in Italy), a mug-full of holy water and sharply pointed wood. He searched Greek and Latin books in Library as we have good amount of books which have been printed more than 30-40 years ago and few books really look like centuries old. After failing to get the required book(as usual), he now struggles on the Internet to find books for spells and supernatural things.

This post may(or may not be, who knows!) the result of modification, morphing and emission of facts and events from real events.
Everyone wants to have short, simple and meaningful domain name for their site(and so do I). But do you know which is the longest domain name in the world ? It is “http://thelongestdomainnameintheworldandthensomeandthensomemoreandmore.com/”.
hp.com is the first two letter domain name registered. There are domains for which people burn huge amount of money just to get the name and at the top of the list is “sex.com”, which was sold for hefty $ 13 millions. The former owner of Sex.com, Escom LLC, failed to turn it into a viable business and declared bankruptcy in 2010. There’s a whole story attached with this domain name which can you read on its wikipedia page.
(Note: World’s most expensive domain name doesn’t worth your visit, so please don’t visit.)
In a post on the official Facebook blog, founder Mark Zuckerberg shared a note celebrating the milestone of 1 Billion active facebook users! According to World Bank’s data of 2011, 6,973,738,433 is the world’s population(now it has crossed 7.043Billion). That’s roughly 1/7 of the world’s population, logging on to the same social network and actively using it on a monthly basis.
A number of key metrics with users along with the announcement has been posted and here’s are few of them:
Paul Allen has publish an extensive review of windows 8 in which he says, Windows 8 is “bold and innovative” and unlike many reviewers, he is “impressed” with “the integration of a bimodal interface to simultaneously support both desktop and tablet use in the same operating system.” Despite all of this, though, he also calls some aspects of Windows 8 “puzzling.”
( Paul Allen is Co-Founder of Microsoft, who resigned from the Microsoft board in 2000)
In windows 8, some applications like Internet Explorer, come in both Metro and desktop mode versions. These different apps don’t necessarily talk to each other and are different applications that share the same name and can be used for the same purpose. Another thing which irritates him(and many others also) is, you can’t direct Windows 8 to set the desktop mode as your default view instead of the Metro-style Start menu.
Here are a few additional puzzling things about Windows 8(according to Paul Allen):

Do you know what is the value of ~1 in python? Or the value of ~0,~(-2) in python.
No, ~1 is not equal to -1.
Actually python just add one to the integer value and invert the sign and for any value other than integers it yields error.
>>> ~1 -2 >>> ~0 -1 >>> ~2 -3 >>> ~4 -5 >>> ~7 -8 >>> ~0 -1 >>> ~(-2) 1 >>> ~(-6) 5 >>> ~(-6.8) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: bad operand type for unary ~: 'float'
Also note that, this behavior is not for python only but C also does the same. Since python follows and heavily based on C that’s why it behave like C
Try this on your python interpreter:
>>> print 'ernquovyvgl pbhagf'.decode('rot13')

If you are a python programmer then you might liked importing antigravity. Now try importing this module and you will see a poem.

The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren’t special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one— and preferably only one —obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you’re Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it’s a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea — let’s do more of those!
Intel has been one of the major contributor to Linux for all days. But it is now deviating from its path and moving more close to M$. The company has revealed Clover Trail Atom chip, the upcoming Intel chip for laptops and tablets at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. Intel also reveled that it will not support Linux. In fact, the chip will support only Windows 8 operating system.
Earlier, Intel announced that around 20 Windows tablets were already in works including Asus Tablet 810, which was showcased at the Computex Show in June. Intel has no intention to port Android to this chipset. This is like taking two opposite route for walking. Earlier Intel has promised to provide better support to Android and now it is abandoning Android to be ported on its upcoming chips.
Only Intel knows the reason and strategy of this game. We can just wait & watch, if Intel gets its wisdom back.

If you are are an apple fan, here’s another reason for burning your hard earned money to make a company(apple!) even more rich.
Have a look on the coming window animations to Ubuntu 12.10. These animations will put Ubuntu more close to the Mac OS. Ubuntu already has the universal bar and lock/unlock system in the system window to change the settings, which we see in Mac OS. Would you like to get such animations for your next Ubuntu….?
A programmer is a person who passes as an exacting expert on the basis of being able to turn out, after innumerable punching, an infinite series of incomprehensive answers calculated with micrometric precisions from vague assumptions based on debatable figures taken from inconclusive documents and carried out on instruments of problematical accuracy by persons of dubious reliability and questionable mentality for the avowed purpose of annoying and confounding a hopelessly defenseless department that was unfortunate enough to ask for the information in the first place.
