Top 10 Interesting Facts About Intel Posted: 04 Sep 2013 10:52 AM PDT Computers have become an indispensable part of our world. If all the computers were to stop working tomorrow, we’ll have a mass collapse of economy, society and order. All this started with the development of integrated circuits. These semiconductors allowed building computers that were small enough to be used for personal use. Intel has been at the forefront of semiconductor manufacturing and in 45 years since its formation has helped us to have increasingly powerful machines for our personal use. Today all computers use parts manufactured by Intel and the company itself has become one of the most successful, powerful and recognizable brands in the world. Here are top 10 interesting facts about Intel. 10. The Beginning:Intel started in 1968 when physicist Robert Noyce and chemist Gordon Moore decided to start their own company after having worked together for Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory and later at Fairchild Semiconductor. Noyce created the integrated circuit along with Jack Kilby. Initially they wanted to name the company Moore Noyce but decided against it when they realized that it sounded similar to ‘more noise’. 9. New Name:The new name of the company came about as the combination of the two words “INTegrated circuits” and “ELectronics”. Thus INTEL was formed and since then it’s become a worldwide recognized brand when it comes to computers of any kind. A hotel chain had the same name and they had to pay them $15000 to use it. 8. Intel Inside:The “Intel Inside” brand campaign was launched in 1991 and it helped Intel become one of the most popular brands in the world. It holds the number one spot in the market for semiconductor manufacturers beating the second place Samsung Electronics by quite a margin. In 2009 Intel was named the 23rd most powerful brand in the world. 7. The Cubicle:Intel was one of the first companies to use the cubicle system in its office. You can thank Intel for the slight claustrophobia you feel on a daily basis. The current CEO Paul Otellini supports the cubicle by using one as his office space instead of a personal office. 6. Intel Museum:Intel has a museum that houses different artifacts and interesting facts about the company and its 40+ years old history. The museum is visited by more than 80,000 people annually. 5. Mentored Steve Jobs:Robert Noyce has always been helpful towards young tech upstarts and has mentored a lot of them to achieve success in the business world. Among the people he mentored is Steve Jobs who went on to create Apple. That’s an interesting connection between two of the leading companies in the IT industry. 4. Cleanroom:Intel has a special cleanroom where the chips are manufactured. It is kept cleaner than a hospital and not even a speck of dust is allowed to enter. The employees have to wear special bunny suits to work in the cleanroom. The air in the cleanroom has no particles above the size of 0.5 microns. To put that in perspective a human hair is 100 microns thick. 3. Acquisitions:Over the years Intel has worked on acquiring lots of different companies. Intel Capital has invested over $9 billion in 1000 companies since 1991. In 1972 they acquired Microma to enter the digital watch market. They recently acquired McAfee. They also have companies in the car security systems and digital content protection services. 2. Finances:In its first year Intel earned a total revenue of $2,672. It went public in 1971 and raised $6.8 million with each share costing $23.50. Today it is worth $54 billion. In 2010 it reportedly spent $6.6 billion on research and development. It has a “tick-tock” method of continuous development of microprocessors. It employs about 80,000 people. 1. Chips:Intel’s first big success came in the form of the 4004 microprocessor in 1971. It contained 2300 transistors and was a 4 bit CPU. The 8088 CPU that came ten years later had 29000 transistors and was used in IBM computers. IBM had used an outside vendor for the first time and the partnership changed the world of computers. The Core2duo processor has 100,000 times the transistors of the 4004.

Top 6 Health Benefits Of Cycling Regularly Posted: 04 Sep 2013 08:19 AM PDT Cycling a few minutes every day is a great low-impact exercise that can benefit people of all ages, as well as protect our environment. Why cycle when you have the comfort of AC cars? Well for one thing, according to WHO, physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyles are ranked second to tobacco smoking as a health risk in developed countries. At present, with pollution taking over the crowded cities and traffic jams making you wait for hours, cycles are being preferred by more and more people for transportation. Riding cycles to schools, colleges, work or shopping is the quickest way to get around; in addition you get a great work out for whole of your body. Whether you choose cycling for that adrenaline rush, exercise or for transportation, overall health benefits come with it free. If you do not own a cycle yet, here are the 6 amazing health benefits of cycling that tell you why you should buy one today. 6. Builds up your stamina:Can't walk a few steps without huffing and puffing? Then it is time you started cycling, seeing that cycling is the best way to build stamina. People enjoy cycling; hence they do not mind going a few more meters every time they go out, which increases their endurance. Start with shorter rides and go on increasing the distance you ride at a moderate pace. Once you reach the goal you tend you achieve, you can concentrate on increasing the speed until you get into the aerobic zone. 5. Controls weight:Is your expanding waistline adding to your stress? On average, a person weighing 170 pounds will burn more than 600 calories with an hour's riding, in addition to toning up their whole body, especially legs and bottom. Sports physiologists discovered that the metabolic rate of our body increases during cycling, moreover it remains high for few more hours after you stop. If you eat calories after cycling for 30 minutes, the high metabolic rate will eat up those calories faster. Cycling at medium pace is known to burn out 300-500 calories per hour. If losing weight is your aim of cycling, than incorporate fast intervals during your ride which is known to burn 350% more fat than you would at a leisurely pace. 4. Improves Mental Health:Exercises are great stress busters, and they are known to improve mental health; the best being cycling outdoors. Even though you may start the ride feeling stressed; your mind will tend to relax as you zoom away on your bicycle with wind in your face. Not hair, because your helmet is covering it. People who ride bicycle regularly are at lower risk of being victims of depression, anxiety, panic attacks or stress. They often have higher self esteem and feel confident about their health and fitness. 3. Boosts your energy levels:If you say "I am feeling sluggish today, I may have to skip cycling" you are quite wrong. Scientific research has proven that getting on the saddle increased the energy levels of the body by 20 percent, while at the same time it reduced fatigue by 65%. Sounds unbelievable, but scientists explain that cycling triggers the brain activity releasing dopamine, which is linked to energy levels in our body. Peddling leisurely, just 3-4 times a week is known to lower fatigue levels and boost energy in a great way. 2. Tone up those sagging muscles:Often it is believed that cycling involves the muscles of legs, though the fact is quite contrary to it. Though the muscles of legs, calves, thighs and rear end get worked out a bit more, cycling involves every part of the body increasing the general muscle function. It is great for the mobility of knee joints and hip bones. Those with injuries, arthritis or health issues can take up cycling, because it is a low-impact exercise that places little stress and weight on joints. 1. Cycling keeps you fit and healthy:Cycling every day, keeps the doctor away could be your new mantra. A person, who cycles an average of 20 miles a week, reduces his risk of coronary heart disease by nearly 50%. Cycling improves the cardio-vascular fitness as it raises the heart rate, strengthening the heart muscles and reducing risk of high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke. Cycling is a great stimulation for lungs and circulatory system. It is known to boost our immune system which can protect against many other illnesses, including certain cancers.

Top 10 Things You Can Do With Only 100 Rupees In Pocket Posted: 04 Sep 2013 05:39 AM PDT The value of the Indian rupee has been falling consistently for a few years now, which means that there’s not much you can get for a 100 bucks now-a-days. A good evening out with friends in a decent city in India can cost quite a lot of money. If you add shopping to that, your wallet is going to take a bigger hit. But still there are many places out there where you can have fun for very less money. You can have quite a bit of fun with only 100 rupees in a day if you are willing to lower your expectations a bit and are open to try different things. Here are the top 10 things you can do with only Rs 100 in pocket. 10. Eat Some Street Food:Street food is still cheap in most cities if you know where to look. With 100 rupees you can eat a lot. Choose the smallest and oldest shops and stop worrying about hygiene for a day. Golgappe, Samosa, Kachauri, Jalebi, Chole Kulche, Rolls, Momo etc. can all be found at cheap prices in all cities. You can make a good evening out of finding the cheapest and best tasting street food your city has to offer. 9. Feed Some Street Urchins:If you roam the streets of any city you are going to be pestered with little kids trying to sell you old flowers or balloons or simply begging. Giving them money is not always a good idea because a lot of these poor kids work for gangs who take all the money they collect and the kids get nothing. If you want to help such kids you can treat them to a meal with the cheap street food we just talked about. It’s a great way to spend some time and also do some good. 8. Visit a Zoo:If you are looking to spend a long amount of time for a small amount of money then Zoos are a good place to visit. Most govt. run zoos have a very small entry fee and you can stay as long as you want. Instead of rushing through the zoo spend time with every animal and spend time observing them. Find a place to sit and do some sketching or just take photographs. With the small entry fee you’ll have enough left over to snack inside the zoo. 7. Visit a Museum:If you’re not in the mood of a zoo you can always visit a museum. Museums are again great places to spend a lot of time without having to spend a lot. There’s a lot to see in a museum and a usual tourist group visit doesn’t give much time to take everything in. When you are visiting without a time limit you can really enjoy the exhibits and also get to learn a lot about the history of your city. Add some street food in the middle and it’s a whole day spent for less than 100 rupees. 6. Picnic in a Park:Zoos and museums can be tiring as you have to walk around all the time and if you are in the mood of resting then go to a park. Take your own bed sheet from home and whatever cheap snacks you can gather for less than a 100 bucks. The park might have a small entry fee as well. Go early, find a nice spot in the shade and spread the bed sheet. It’s a great way to spend time with a friend or just even with a book. Don’t try it during the summer or monsoon months for obvious reasons. 5. Window Shopping:If you are not in the mood to do any of the above and instead want to spend time in air-conditioned malls then learn the art of window shopping. Go with just 100 bucks in your pocket to make sure you don’t give into any temptations. Leisurely stroll through the mall and if you want to have fun you can even go into every shop and try out different outfits without buying anything. Don’t overdo it to the point that the salesmen start shouting on you. 4. Look For a Bargain:If you want to enjoy shopping including the excitement of buying something new then try the streets instead of the malls. Street side vendors have great offers and if you work hard you can find a piece of gem in the pile of stolen goods. It’s also a great way to improve your bargaining skills. You have a budget of just 100 rupees and you can make it a game to see how much you can buy with it. You’ll be surprised to find out the answer. 3. Party Desi Style:If you are in the mood to get drunk and party there are many options to get completely wasted for cheap. You’ll just have to forget about vodka and beer and instead try some of the “Desi” liquor. You’ll have to be a little careful about this as you don’t want to die of alcohol poisoning but if you look carefully you can always find a cheap but good liquor shop where you can get good and drunk for a small amount of money. 2. Watch a Movie:If you want to watch the latest blockbuster while having honey dipped popcorn in a multiplex then you’ll need a lot more money than just 100 rupees. But if you lower your standards a bit there are many halls in every city showing cheap B grade movies. These movies are just bad porn more than anything but for a small amount of money can lead to quite an entertaining experience. If you feel awkward going to such a hall, do the previous step first and get good and drunk. 1. Occupy a Café:A lot of these things mentioned in this list can be good fun to do once or twice but you can’t do them all the time. If you don’t want to lower your standards but still want to have a good time for under Rs 100 then learn to occupy a coffee shop. Go to a café with a book and find the loneliest table there. Don’t make eye contact with the waiters and delay placing an order for as long as you can. You should be able to get one or two drinks for less than 100 rupees and the idea is to extend your time in the coffee shop for as long as possible. Spend the time observing others or just reading a book. Don’t ask for the bill and see how long before they throw you out.

Top 10 Absurdities We Are Taught Right From Childhood Posted: 04 Sep 2013 05:00 AM PDT Childhood is a really important part of our life. We become the person we are today because of the things that happen in childhood. Our parents, teachers and other adults shape us, knowingly or unknowingly in their own image. This means that if you have good parents and teachers you can have a great advantage as an adult. But as hard as parenting is, there are few things that our parents consciously try to teach us which don’t make much sense. Some of them are lies and others are just wrong advice. Here are the top 10 absurdities we are taught right from childhood. 10. The More the Merrier:Every child hears this phrase too often. Parents say this in order to make their child more sociable. They think it will be a great advantage in the future and to a certain degree it is advantageous to be outgoing and be able to easily mingle with strangers. But the more is definitely not the merrier. As you grow up you want to have friends to share with but you don’t want a whole lot of them. Being in a crowd is never a good idea. Maybe parents should teach us that the medium the merrier. 9. Honesty is the Best Policy:Another moral that is taught to children is that honesty is the best policy. It is wrong to teach this to children because they can see that parents are being hypocrites. They can see that their parents lie all the time and tell them to be honest all the time. This confuses the child and if someone were to grow up really believing in this and always speaking the truth they’ll not be able to function in the society we have created. 8. Don’t Fight:We teach kids that fighting is bad. It makes a little sense but the extreme of everything is bad. It is not right to teach them to never fight back. When a bully is hurting them they should know that fighting back is alright. That’s how they’ll grow up into individuals who fight for their rights. If you teach them that all fighting under all circumstances is bad then they’ll grow up to be meek individuals who are bullied by their employers, government and everybody else. 7. Monsters in the Dark:Out of the many lies we tell children the cruelest is to tell them about monsters hiding in the dark. It is an easy way to control children and stop them from getting into danger in the dark but it is also wrong to tell them about things you know don’t exist. It also makes them afraid of the unknown which later seeps into other areas of life. 6. God is Watching You:Children should be taught to be good for the sake of being good not because some supernatural entity is watching their every move. This is another lie that does more harm than good. To create the sense of a big brother always watching and judging their every move is to crush their independent spirits in childhood. It also fills them with a sense of guilt and shame that might be good to keep people in line but also lead to an unhappy life. 5. It’s for Your Own Good:Whenever a parent wants the child to get to do something they tell them that it’s for their own good. If used in moderation this is not such a bad thing and might be important to get the children to eat medicines etc. But if overused to find an easy way to control the child, this can become a crippling statement. The child starts thinking that their good is in crushing their own desires and dreams and following orders. As adults this belief can lead to an unfulfilled life. 4. Don’t Argue:Children have a lot of questions and when parents run out of answers they start telling children to stop asking questions. If a child is answering back, it’s a good thing as it points to a curious and intelligent mind. But in order to get their way parents start telling children to not argue. This stops them from growing their intelligence and questioning skills. Children should be allowed to argue and in fact should be taught how to argue constructively. 3. Just Do as I Say:When parenting gets hard, every parent resorts to the age old, “just do as I say!” This is not the best way to deal with a child. It is a way of threatening obedience from them. Parents feel that they made their children so their children should obey them at all times. But to encourage this type of unquestioned obedience will result in weak individuals who can never live fully under the pressures of the society. 2. Winners Vs Losers:All parents want their kids to win at everything. They want them to be the best at whatever they do. They teach them how winning is very good and how losing is very bad. While competitiveness can be good too much of it is not a good thing. Children should be taught to do things for the sake of doing them and enjoying them not just to win. And they should not be discouraged from losing. The fear of losing is what stops so many adults from trying to achieve their dreams. 1. Good Grades mean Good Future:One of the worst things that children are taught is that good grades mean a secure and safe future. They are forced to study hard to get good grades and a lot of times their other interests are not encouraged. It puts undue pressure on the kids. Just because they can’t get good marks doesn’t mean that they’ll be a failure in life. In fact there have been many great men and women who didn’t do too well in school and there have also been many people who were great in school but never lived up to their potential.

Top 10 Meanings Attributed To Our Existence Posted: 04 Sep 2013 02:58 AM PDT What is the meaning of life? This is the question that man has wondered about for as long as he’s been around on this planet. In every culture and every country, through out history, philosophers have wondered about this question and they’ve all come up with many different answers. Some of these answers try to be completely rational while others are more about faith. Some are negative while others are positive and optimistic. Here are the top 10 meanings attributed to our existence. 10. A Random Accident:One perspective is to think that there is no meaning to life. Life is just a random accident and in the long run it really doesn’t matter if life survives or dies. As an individual our lives have no meaning either. On one hand this theory can be very depressing but on the other hand it can be taken positively to mean that we are completely free to do whatever makes us most happy. 9. To Suffer and Die:A highly negative view of our existence is to think that the purpose of life is to make us suffer before we die. It’s common among teenagers to have such a pessimistic view of life but many intelligent adults have held such a view as well. They feel that earth is the hell where we come to suffer for our sins of another life and we suffer all our life and then die. 8. To Become Better:One way of looking at life is to think that we are here to become better human beings. This view is common in many religions. In Christianity we are supposed to atone for our sins and in Hinduism we are supposed to gain good karma and wisdom in our recurring lives till we become enlightened and achieve nirvana to break the cycle of birth and rebirth. 7. Biological Evolution:A scientific way of looking at life is to think about evolution. We are part of life and even though individual members of every species die, life continues to survive and evolve. According to this theory our personal lives don’t mean anything as we all are part of the process of biological evolution irrespective of how we live. According to this view reproduction is the only purpose we have on earth. 6. To Love:A romantic view of life is to think that we are here to love and be loved. We are sent on earth to spread love and happiness. When we get here we forget about our purpose and that’s why there is so much hate in the world. The best life we can live is to spread love and peace to everyone we meet. While romantically appealing, such a psychedelic view of life is not very productive. 5. To Live “The Good Life”:A common view among philosophers in the western tradition is to think about “the good life”. We are here to find out what is the best way to live and then to live our life that way. We are also supposed to help others find this way of life so that everyone can live this way. Different philosophers at different times have held different views about what this good life was. 4. To Observe the Universe:According to this point of view life is just a part of the universe, no different from matter and energy. Life in fact is the universe becoming conscious of itself. The purpose of life is to observe the universe. Life has evolved so that the universe can observe more and more of itself. We humans can not just observe a vast majority of the universe but we can also try to understand how it works. The pursuit of universal laws is the highest pursuit for us. 3. To Gain Knowledge:A slightly different version of the above point is to view life as an opportunity to gain as much knowledge as we can. The knowledge doesn’t have to be about the workings of the universe alone but can be of any topic. By gaining all this knowledge we are moving towards becoming more conscious and aware of everything. 2. To Achieve Dreams:A positive way of looking at life is to think of it as an opportunity to live our dreams; to experience both the pain and struggle of hard work and the joy and excitement of success. This life is an opportunity for us to realize our full potential. So the pursuit of our dreams is the only way of living. It’s definitely a motivational view of life. 1. Spiritual Evolution:One view to look at life is to think about evolution and universalism but in a spiritual context. Life has evolved so that the universe can observe itself and our consciousness is actually the universal consciousness. We have evolved to become more and more intelligent and the next step in the evolution is to become more spiritual. One day we’ll be able to evolve into much more spiritual beings who can observe the universe at a much deeper level. The ultimate goal of spiritual evolution is the realization of the universal consciousness or soul; when all spiritual beings merge into one and attain Godhead.

Top 10 Hindi Horror Movies Which Are Funnier Than Hera Pheri Posted: 04 Sep 2013 02:54 AM PDT Traditionally, Bollywood fans love romantic, comic and action-oriented flicks. The out-and-out popularity of these genres rarely allowed horror flicks to establish themselves in the Hindi movie industry. However, going down memory lane one observes that during the late 1980 and early 1990s movies makers in India did experiment with horror scripts. Unfortunately, these films lacked adequate technological inputs and the result was – these movies ended up qualifying as comedies. Some of them can in fact complete with Hera Pheri when it comes to the laughter they evoke. It's no exaggeration if we classify them under laughable-horror-classics. Here are top 10 Hindi horror movies, which are funnier than 'Hera Pheri.' 10. Raat:The movie released in 1992 was an outright success right from the time it hit the theatres. The story revolves around the typical 'ghost' ideas prevalent in our society. The 'Sharma family' in the movie moves to a new locality that exhibits a supernatural reputation. As soon as they move into their new house, a sequence of creepy events follows. From butchered cats inviting bad omen, to screaming women running from invisible ghosts, there is not a scene in the movie that doesn’t evoke laughter. 9. Wo Kon Thi:No one could trace 'her' out even after spending 2 ½ hours in the movie theatre. To me the movie seemed to be asking questions from the film watchers – if they had any idea about the female evil spirit. The introductory sequence, where a young woman asked for a ride from motor driver (who was traveling on lonely roads in the dead of night for no clear reasons) to drop her near a graveyard was where it all began. She disappeared singing a song 'naina barse'. If in reality ghosts are that melodious, a tete- tete with one is definitely on the cards.
8. Do Gaz Zameen ke Neeche:This 1972 horror flick directed by Tulsi Ramsay was probably the first attempt by an Indian movie maker to introduce the audience to the concept of zombies. The simple story of a scientist betrayed by his wife and her uncle makes him defy death and return back as a zombie seeking redemption from the two. Although the portrayal of a zombie was far from real, what made the movie a success was the frenzy of laughter every scene put the audience in. 7. Purana Mandir:The relationship of Saamri with Bollywood's third-rated-horror-flicks is one of the most defining moments for the most ignored cinema of the country. The plot revolves around a 200 year old curse inflicted on a palatial house by a blood thirsty Saamri. This follows funny and nonsensically directed sequences which can only evoke laughter, and in the least inspire fear. 6. Woh Phir Ayegi:It was the day my matriculation results were out and as expected I was depressed to the core. Really, I was! And, then I turned on the TV to Who Phir Ayegi. An unforeseen booster, this movie tickled my funny bone like no other comedy movie ever did in the past. The movie narrates the story of a married woman possessed by an evil-spirit and her husband tries hard to ward it off. His hilarious groans and overly-dramatic chants are enough to make you roll off the floor. Throughout the movie, the guy seemed to be constipated while taking the fight against the evil-spirit. 5. Bhoot:I guess even the 'Scary Movie' series can't compete 'Bhoot' for its entertaining quotient. Humph! Now I know why horror cinema lost its plot in India even before making a decent beginning. Ajay Devgan with his stoned expressions already looks like a zombie and therefore, any attempt to create fear on his face makes him funnier. Similarly, the 'Rangeela' girl could have easily won the award for best comic character had her producer been serious enough in recognizing her humoristic potentials. The movie is just the right depiction of a horror flick going abysmally wrong. 4. Paapi Gudia:Has anyone ever heard about this movie? In case you still haven't, then do go ahead and hit Google to know more about this hilarious masterpiece. Except for the scary name, the movie has nothing to do with horror. Oh sorry, something did haunt me for many years – Karishma Kapoor's bushy eyebrows that almost touched her eyelids. And guess what, Shakti Kapoor played one of the lead roles. Isn't it enough for the movie to lose its horror appeal, if it ever had any in the first place? 3. Veerana:A block buster in its time, Veerana was more popular for the sexy 'chudail' than its storyline. The same old 'thakur', 'buri haveli' and 'ramu kaka' with his age old lantern played a part in adding humoristic touches to the tale. Barring the ones who are born to grace this world with a frightened face, almost everyone will laugh their hearts out when they see the movie. 2. Darwaaza:Considered to be a landmark creation in horror cinema, Darwaza remains a perfect stress buster even today. Ramsay brothers could have been easily credited for bringing out the new genre of comic-humor had the movie analysts of the time been honest to their profession. The movie created a lot of hype at the time of its release. First the producers announced to award a cash price to any person who dares to watch the movie alone, and then rumors spread that a person who did meet the dare, lost to life to a cardiac arrest.
