Be Enthusiastic About Your Product
You can see how Apple executives use superlatives so many times during keynote presentations .In fact, so many times that we start to believe it,no matter what.But this works for Apple so efficiently because they actually believe what they are saying.Just look at the excitement of Jobs in this video,he for sure knows what he is talking about is simply amazing and that's what actually translates on a level unseen.He is excited about it.So is Phil Schiller and the others on the apple team.
This is hardly an Apple-only phenomenon. They’re just one of the best at translating their enthusiasm on a big stage several times a year thanks mainly to the charismatic Jobs. But really, I think you’ll find in most successful companies, the enthusiasm about their product is a key to how well that product is doing.

The Story of Twitter
Twitter, Twitter, Twitter. Seems every where you turn these days that little blue bird is staring you right in the face. But how did it all start? Where is it all going? Who’s to say really, except you I suppose, in 140 character bursts. In the meantime let’s take a look back on some milestones of microblogging.
Please do enjoy, The Story (so far) of Twitter. Start at the bottom and work your way up on this one.

Top 11 Ways to Provoke a Geek Argument
Geeks, as a general rule, are pretty easy-going. We like to think things through, so passionate confrontations aren’t commonplace for us. When we get well and properly provoked, though, watch out! We won’t stop talking until every last point that we can think of has been made at least twice. So, what do you say to provoke a geek? Glad you asked!
11. “No real programmer would ever use PHP.”
10. “Comic books are just for kids!”
9. “Internet Explorer is much better than Firefox—why else would it be the most popular
Browser ?”
8. “Role-playing games are just for people who can’t deal with real life.”
7. “Homeopathy works, no matter what ’science’ has to say about it.”
6. “The Pirates of the Caribbean movies are so realistic!”
5. “If open-source software was really that great, they’d charge for it.” - I’ve actually had people say this to me a few times over the years. As a software engineer who’s used lots of open-source projects, I’m particularly sensitive to this one.
4. “Dreamworks kicks Pixar’s animated butt!”
3. “Mac, Windows, or Linux? Does it really make a difference?”
2. “Batman is so boring—he doesn’t even have any super powers!”
1. “Who needs Gmail? I’ve got AOL!”

My Music Library
This is my iTunes music library that i created over a period of one month.No iTunes account,no money spent.All i did was doing an extensive 'Musical Research' and taking the help a couple of web based and another couple of desktop based applications!!!
And, of course,my creativity on top of everything.One more thing-hard work.I did not sleep at night for about one month ,doing my study on -everything music.It included various artists,their albums,their accolades and the impacts they have made on the music scene and the world.
My iTunes music library comprises well over 900 songs, 75 albums,34 artists that it make it about 6 GB of music.And the genres include-R&B,Soul and R&B,Pop,Alternative,Alternative Rock,Pop Punk,New Age,Jazz,Rap and Bollywood Soundtrack
The Real King Is Here
Just when we thought browser innovation was reaching the saturation point Opera proved us wrong again. With new features like Opera Turbo,Enhanced Tabs,More Powerful Speed Dial and Re-sizable Search Field ,Opera 10 Beta is all set to make the web surfing the most enjoyable experience ever.It has got a sleeker design and -oh i forgot to tell you- 40% faster speed which makes it THE JACK OF ALL TRADES.
The image above shows my Opera browser with its speed dial beautifully configured with my favorite websites on the internet .I like Opera more than ever now.In terms of features and user-friendliness Opera leaves other browsers far behind.Opera,put simply,rocks!!!
I will probably never fully, satisfactorily understand why Opera has a market share of less than 1% when a mess called Internet Explorer is still enjoying a market share of more than 70%.And then there are comparatively featureless Safari and Chrome still having a significant market share.But the fact remains that when it comes to the browser war,because of all the things it can do for its loyel user,OPERA IS THE REAL KING.

The Matrix Immortal
Morpheus Quotes
"Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony."
"What is "real"? How do you define "real"?"
"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill -- the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill -- you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."
"I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it."
"Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream, Neo? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? "
"The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."
"What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad."
"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."
"If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."
"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."
"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path."

Favoirite Stephen Hawking Quotes
My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
If we find the answer [the unified theory], it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for we would know the mind of God.
Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?
The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.
When one's expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have.
The old paradox: Can God make a stone so heavy that he can't lift it?
I put a lot of effort into writing A Briefer History at a time when I was critically ill with pneumonia because I think that it's important for scientists to explain their work, particularly in cosmology. This now answers many questions once asked of religion.
If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone . . . . Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.
I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.
Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.
It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.
It matters if you just don't give up.
