1959 Opel gets over 350 mpg
...the car is efficient because it's extremely light. In fact, there's nothing inside it. One tiny plastic seat, no dashboard, no passenger seat, no back seat, no trunk. There aren't even headlights. The rear wheels have been replaced by a single, ultra-hard wheel and the drive-train is just a bicycle chain....

What's our world worth? Financially...
Marketwatch reminds us that the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is about $15 trillion. The GDP of all nations combined is approximately $50 trillion. The total value of all the real estate in the world is estimated at $75 trillion and the total value of all the world's stocks and bonds is about $100 trillion. But there's a $500 trillion market in derivatives!

When does life begin?
Sometime back in August when Obama and McCain were talking various issues at pastor Rev. Rick Warren forum, they both were asked, when life begins.
Obama answered that it is above his pay scale to say exactly when life begins.Means, he really doesn't know.
McCain answered life begins at conception.
In my opinion Obama gave an honest and correct answer.
McCain, on the other hand, gave a politically correct answer.
I believe that no one can really tell when life begins exactly.
Lets say, like McCain, we say life begins at conception. Then do we really know our own date of birth and place of birth?
It's not the date and place where we were delivered, but its the date and time and place where we were conceived.
Now, seriously, how many can answer that question?
All our birth certificate, and legal papers should have the date, time and place where we were conceived because that's when our life actually began and not when we were delivered.
Sounds complicated right ?
It does.

Google Chrome
Google came up with the announcement that they are coming up with a new product called Chrome, a web-browser.
Everyone is surprised.
I was telling about this to some friends of mine few years ago.
I told them not only Google's browser will just be a web-browser but lot more than that.
This is my prediction. Or this is how I would develop Chrome if I was running the project.
Chrome, will be more than just a browser. It will be a mini-OS.
It will have pretty much all the capabilities of an operating system and few basic applications all in-built.
So for an ordinary computer user, who just uses the computer for, just say,
browsing,
chatting,
emailing,
sharing pictures, videos,
webcam,
text editing,
e.t.c
they will not need an OS like Windows, or OS X, orLinux.
Chrome will evolve to be a mini-OS.
I will be designing Chrome in such a way that in future, ordinary users who use computers for basic functions like listed above, will only need to buy a LCD monitor(or even use TVs) and a keyboard and of course an Internet connection. They will be able to use a USB flash drive loaded with Chrome and plug-in the USB in the keyboard and start browsing/chatting/emailing e.t.c

Sarah Palin - McCain's VP choice
McCain has chosen Sarah Palin as his VP.
I wonder if the move is to get the women votes, mainly Hillary Clinton supporters and feminists.
Many Clinton supporters who wanted to see a women in the ticket was disappointed when Obama chose Biden as his VP.
Sarah Palin may give them a chance to see a women in the ticket.
But what if it backfires for the hardcore Clinton supporters?
By electing McCain they will make history that Sarah Palin is the first women VP. And who knows maybe making way for the first women President in the future (2012, 2016) and deny Hillary that fame.

Barack Obama and 8
The Chinese consider 8 as a lucky number. That we all know.
How about this.
Barack Obama was born on the 8th month of 1961 (year adds to 8 too).
He entered Harvard Law School in 88.
He is running for office in the year 08.
Hillary Clinton officially declared support at DNC on 08/26/08 (day adds to 8)
He got officially nominated for president on the 8th month, August.
If he becomes president he will be the 44 th president (adds to 8).
By Numerology the name 'Barack Obama' adds to 8
What else I wonder!

Earthquakes and causes
"This great earth, Ananda, is established upon liquid, the liquid upon the atmosphere, and the atmosphere upon space. And when, Ananda, mighty atmospheric disturbances take place, the liquid is agitated. And with the agitation of the liquid, tremors of the earth arise. This is the first reason, the first cause for the arising of mighty earthquakes."
-Buddha,
Maha-parinibbana Sutta 3:14
"Nasa scientists have said they could be on the verge of a breakthrough in their efforts to forecast earthquakes.
Researchers say they have found a close link between electrical disturbances on the edge of our atmosphere and impending quakes on the ground below. "
