A robot that really will make you smile

Filed under: Technology — Saurabh @ 1:00 am

A robot that really will make you smile
And I mean it — literally. An article from Vaughan Today, Canada, reports about robots which help straighten smiles. According to this paper, ‘Dr. Kevin Davis and his team are the first and only in Canada to offer SureSmile, a high-tech, digital method of producing precision braces.’ Davis says that the SureSmile technology shortens tooth-straightening by almost 40% to about 15 to 18 months. The technology uses 3 steps: a 3-D scanner to build a model of your teeth, a proprietary software to develop a custom archwire prescription, and a wire-bending robot to design braces according to your specific treatment plan. And it’s not terribly expensive: the SureSmile procedure costs only $700 more than conventional orthodontic treatment. But read more…

Generating electricity with polymers?
After yesterday, here is another story about using plastics as a power source. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are using ionic polymers immersed in a river to generate ‘clean’ electricity for the city of Vandergrift, Pennsylvania. If the project is successful, the city’s downtown ‘could one day get 20 percent or more of its electrical power from a mile-long array of tiny plastic devices wiggling away on the bottom of the Kiskiminetas River as it sweeps around the town.’ Even if the scientific angle of the story is interesting, the fact that the idea for this project started at a city improvement program instead of a lab is fascinating.

$100K Earning Worker Lived in Company Shed for Three Years

$100K Earning Worker Lived in Company Shed for Three Years
People keep saying a million bucks just ain’t what it used to be. Well, obviously that means that earning $100K a year isn’t quite what it used to be either - especially when you decide living in a house or apartment costs just too much money while living in the company shed would make […]

People keep saying a million bucks just ain’t what it used to be. Well, obviously that means that earning $100K a year isn’t quite what it used to be either - especially when you decide living in a house or apartment costs just too much money while living in the company shed would make more sense.

Sure, the article says the shed had a couch, microwave, and refrigerator, but I see no mention of a television - so that rules me out. Actually, they also mention that the man is now living with his wife, which begs the question: what the heck was the wife doing this whole time? Great way to say I love you - rather than staying at home with your wife, you choose a shed on company property.

File that under shed timeshares are selling like hotcakes.

More Prankers Than Prankees
While about 80% of you said that you’ve pranked a coworker, only 55% have actually being on the receiving end of a work prank. Have you ever been pranked by a coworker?

  • Yes (55%, 24 Votes)
  • No (45%, 20 Votes)

I did expect the number of “prankees” to be a bit less than the 80% found for prankers, but apparently the difference is actually quite a lot. It must be nice to be able to pull off an office prank without retaliation - though you’re victims may all be plotting their revenge at this very moment!

‘Singh Is Kinng’ director Anees Bazmee denies replacing Harman

Filed under: Bollywood Gossips — Saurabh @ 1:02 am

‘Singh Is Kinng’ director Anees Bazmee denies replacing Harman
Post LOVE STORY 2050, rumours of all kinds have been floating around vis-à-vis Harman Baweja. One of them pertains to Anees Bazmee unwilling to work with Harman in Sanjay Kapoor’s home-production, which co-stars Genelia. What’s surprising is the fact that Anees has already shot quite a bit with Harman, but with LOVE STORY 2050 proving a box-office fiasco, the director is looking for a replacement, at least that’s what is being said. “Absolutely untrue,” Anees Bazmee tells me, “There’s no question of Harman’s exit from the project. I have tremendous faith in Harman’s abilities. Much before his father [Harry Baweja] launched him in LOVE STORY 2050, I had expressed a desire to make a film with Harman. He is handsome, dances exceptionally well, is proficient in acting. Most importantly, I have confidence that he would carry off the lead part in my film very well. So what if his debut film has failed? That’s not the end of the world.” With this film Anees goes back to a genre he started his [directorial] career with — romance. “I’ve been itching to make a love story after making three back-to-back entertainers [NO ENTRY, WELCOME, SINGH IS KINNG]. I am really enjoying the experience,” he states.

Shama wins Khali over Tanushree
Shama wins Khali over Tanushree

 
 
/photo.cms?msid=3048393 Tanushree Dutta’s dream to be the first actress to work with an international wrestler Khali has gone kaput. Tanushree was excited and looking forward to shoot with Khali since the time she came to know about him being part of her forthcoming film Rama The Savior . But before her dreams could turn into reality debutant actress Shama Sikander grabbed the opportunity to shoot with him first.

Interestingly Khali has already shot for a promotional music video of Dhoom Dadakka . Shama has got the opportunity to shake her leg with Khali. Extremely overjoyed Shama says, “I am just back from Madurai yesterday. I was very excited when I came to know about Khali being part of the movie and that I’ll be shooting with him for a song.” She informs Khali is not in Dhoom Dadakka just for a song but he is very much part of the film. Khali plays himself in the movie.

This song has been choreographed by choreographer Pony Varma. Shama reveals the song is a celebration dance in Khali’s welcome so he will be seen dancing in the movie. When asked how good are his moves on the dance floor? “Well he is good. He can dance. He is a very simple and sweet person. There’s no air at all. Though he was little nervous, he enjoyed the whole process of shooting.” She adds

After DD Khali will be shooting for Sahil Khan’s Rama The Saviour which he signed first. Apparently Tanushree who was in the buzz for Khali’s first lady in Bollywood, has now become the second Bollywood actress to share screen space with Khali.

Riteish Deshmukh the prankster
Riteish Deshmukh the prankster

 
 
/photo.cms?msid=3052632

Riteish Deshmukh is best known for his funny roles in films like Masti and Dhamaal . In real life, as well, he is a complete prankster. We caught the mischievous actor on the sets of his upcoming film De Taali.

A promotional song of the film was being shot at N.D. Studios in Karjat. It was a night shift. Aftab Shivdasani, director Eshwar Niwas and producer Ravi Walia amongst the other crew members were present on the sets.

Ravi is a very shy person who normally does not give any interviews to the media. But after a lot of convincing, he finally agreed for it. He was quite nervous about it. Just before he was about the give the interview, Riteish asked his make up artist to apply some make up on Ravi and also asked the cameraman to start recording. The make up artist applied some powder and hair gel on Ravi and gave him a complete funny look. All this while, the cameras were rolling. Riteish could not stop laughing and said, “This is how we prepare our producers to give interviews.”

Riteish certainly helped the crew in staying energized through the long night shift with his little pranks. Also, when a television news reporter came a bit late for the event Riteish acted as if he was very mad at the reporter and refused to give him the interview. This really made the reporter very nervous. Only later did he come to know that Ritiesh was actually playing a prank on him.

Even on the sets of his earlier film Heyy Babyy, he played pranks on the costars and crew members. The film writer Milap Jhaveri, who was also in Australia during the shoot of the film, was oppressed by Riteish as well. Once Milap headed for a shower while Riteish was in his room and poor Milap requested Riteish to pass him a towel but, Riteish the prankster under the pretence of handing Milap the towel, apparently barged into the bathroom and started taking his nude pictures with his camera phone. That was not all as next day Riteish forwarded the MMS to Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan, Sajid Khan and even Vidya Balan.
Milap was so embarrassed that for two days he did not come out of his room.

The aftermath of Omkara

Filed under: Entertainment — Saurabh @ 1:01 am

The aftermath of Omkara
I used to think there’s just one Peter Jackson who defines reverence and understands tribute.

And then Vishal Bhardwaj comes along.

He really seems to know his Shakespeare. And more than that, he really knows his art.

The magnitude of Omkara’s impact is so potent. It’s almost severe. It’s like having two-dozen machine guns fired at you. And you die willingly, gloriously.

To know a tragedy beforehand and yet jump out of your tense concentration when the moment of stark reality reveals itself.

To smell early traces of dishonesty in the vicarious schemes of limping, jilted villain’s intentions and yet hoping for a glint of repentance only to be as shocked by the outcome as his target is.

To be certain what to expect and yet walk out with much more in the form of dark splintered pieces of complex human minds.

The aftermath of Omkara leaves you with a souvenir of unsuppressed awe for startling performances, simmering vision, breathtaking narrative, flowing composition and dramatic direction.

Omkara is a flawless depiction of flawed protagonists.

And for those who didn’t like it and are contributing to its poor trade, I’d say: Oye kathor! (Darn you heartless person!)

Toward more efficient fuel cells?

Filed under: Technology — Saurabh @ 1:01 am

Toward more efficient fuel cells?
A very short report from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), ‘A cool fuel cell,’ says that Spanish researchers have developed a new way to operate solid oxide fuel cells, which could potentially provide electricity on an industrial scale, at near room temperature. This new super-lattice material ‘improves ionic conductivity near room temperature by a factor of almost 100 million.’ Wow! As said one Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researcher who characterized the material’s structure, this represents ‘a colossal increase in ionic conduction properties.’ But read more…

Aashirwaad…… the blessing!

Filed under: Humor — Saurabh @ 1:00 am

Aashirwaad…… the blessing!

……being born and bought up in metro like Delhi, where everyone’s concerned with their own interest, and nobody is bothered about the other guy,….yes a society still exits there but merely to exchange gifts in diwali and drink in holi!

….waiting for my school bus at bus stop, with other kids and their parents, and uncle X comes with his kid, and my dad said….”beta uncle ko namaste karo!”(say hello to uncle), …..me being a curious creature always, thought why my dad always insists to say “Hello” to that uncle!…..as the things started passing by……I started greeting uncle and afterwards, get engaged with his son talking stuff like cartoon, movies and games…….while my dad and uncle get into their kind of talks….don’t remember exactly what they used to coz I was least concerned about their stuff!

….few year down the line we went to our village, where my grandparents stay. I was always fascinated about the things in village like the water-well, the huts and mud houses, cows, buffalos  and their calves, and other nitty gitty things I’ve heard from my mother’s long lasting/never ending village sagas! The village added an additional level of curiosity when, I was commanded by my grand-pa to touch the feet of a person, that person was my grand-pa’s friend and a Brahmin, and the same question popped out of my curious mind,…..why?

….I tried to find out why we are forced to do that exercise, and at that point in time just got one answer that just because they are elders we should!! …..even though not with the excuses/reasons given to me…..I followed the pattern blindly…..as most of us do!

….In my collage days, I met two guys from Bihar, and we later became good friends, I used to go to their places for study or other reasons like, fixing up their computers!(….yep that was my part time job during my collage day…;). During the visits to their place I found out that these guys do lot’s of feet touching  exercise in their normal course of life, whenever somebody comes to their house…..and the same old curios million dollar question!!! WHY!!!

…..this time I was a bit matured and tried to infer why? why is it necessary to say namaskaar to our guests/uncles/aunts? why it’s necessary to touch our elder’s feet? or specially on occasions like festivals or exams? and finally got the answer that ….. it’s not merely a ritual but it’s a way to show your affection towards them! It’s a way of getting their blessings which will never come out directly in front of you! On the other way round, you show your respect towards that comes from inside.

….and after this enlightenment I was never shy of touching my elder’s feet or saying “Namaskaar” to them….and that voice always comes from the depth of my heart!

Namaskaar :)

Few useful Installation Script(VBScript) functions
After so long I’m posting something, lately I was working on installation script of our project, and came across few good things. I’m sharing few of them here:
 
‘ *****************************************************************************
‘Global variables
Dim objFSO, objLogFile, WsShell
Set objFSO = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
Set WsShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
 
‘Getting Program Files path

Dim objShell, objFolder, objFolderItem, strProgramFilesPath
Set objShell = CreateObject(“Shell.Application”)
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(PROGRAM_FILES)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
strProgramFilesPath = objFolderItem.Path
WScript.Echo strProgramFilesPath
