Mukesh Ambani beats Bill Gates

Mukesh Ambani beats Bill Gates in the march of Richest Men. Well its still an unbelievable event for me. but check out the news:
 

Billionaire Mukesh Ambani today became the richest person in the world, surpassing American software czar Bill Gates, Mexican business tycoon Carlos Slim Helu and famous investment guru Warren Buffett, courtesy the bull run in the stock market.

Following a strong share price rally on in his three group companies, India's most valued firm Reliance Industries, Reliance Petroleum and Reliance Industrial Infrastructure, the net worth of Mukesh Ambani rose to $63.2 billion (Rs 2,49,108 crore).

In comparison, the net worth of both Gates and Slim is estimated to be slightly lower at around $62.29 billion each, with Slim leading among the two by a narrow margin.

The five richest people in the world with their net worth


1. Mukesh Ambani ($63.2 billion)
2. Carlos Slim Helu ($62.2993 billion)
3. William (Bill) Gates ($62.29 billion)
4. Warren Buffett ($55.9 billion)
5. Lakshmi Mittal ($50.9 billion)

Google - Microsoft "Ads Deal"

This is really funny, well i just came across, while doing a Search on Google for the keyword Microsoft and c++, i found Microsoft's Website in the Google's Sponsored Link. So do Microsoft pay Google? or is Microsoft Depending on Google for traffic?? What ever may be.. its just "WOW" check out the screenshots :)

Monster or a Plane?



 What is this thing? i just came across this HUGE plane while searching photos of some good planes. I didnt like this style, a plane with 2 decks... ah.. looks terrible, like a monster!!!





Burning Feeds..

I registered with Feed burner to see my feeds performance.. i came across a few buttons :

I heard many of my friends say to use feedburner. Google aquired feedburner recently. I am expecting to get Google Adsense for Feeds :) ah i have no idea on what next.. i want to track the performance of feeds. lets hope feedburner has something new :)




VIRUS VIRUS VIRUS

last day i was attacked by a strange Virus from my pen drive. It disabled, task manager, registry editing, folder options, msconfig etc.. it changes the status of Yahoo messenger to something like :"Bé gái b? gi?t, xâm h?i tình d?c freewebtown.com/gaigoitanbinh/index.html ", and sends IM to entire list .... also it did not even allowed to search google for the solutions for this, for example if we search "Windows Task Manager loads for 1 second, then closes itself automatically" in any search engine, the browser closes itself. I searched from my friends computer for a solution for this. And finally i got it from only one site.. thanks to them :

The solution given in that site really worked and i completely removed the virus without a format




30 Year Continuous Power Laptop Battery

Here is something interesting i found on TechTree: Tired of carrying your laptop charger and spare batteries around? Soon you won't have to. Thanks to work being funded by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, laptop batteries could have a continuous power battery that lasts for 30 years without a single recharge.

Scientists have developed the breakthrough betavoltaic power cells that are constructed from semiconductors and use radioisotopes as the energy source. As the radioactive material decays, it emits beta particles that transform into electric power that is capable of fueling an electrical device like a laptop for years.

Though they sound nuclear, they're not. They don't use fission, fusion, or chemical processes to produce energy and therefore don't produce any radioactive or hazardous waste. Betavoltaics generate power when an electron strikes a particular interface between 2 layers of material. The process uses beta electron emissions that occur when a neutron decays into a proton, which causes a forward bias in the semiconductor. This makes the betavoltaic cell a forward bias diode of sorts, similar in some respects to a photovoltaic (solar) cell. Electrons scatter out of their normal orbits in the semiconductor and into the circuit, creating a usable electric current.

The profile of the batteries can be quite small and thin. A porous silicon material is used to collect the hydrogen isotope tritium, which is generated in the process. The reaction is non-thermal, which means laptops and other small devices like mobile phones will run much cooler than with traditional lithium-ion power batteries.

The best part about these cells is when they eventually run out of power: They're totally inert and non-toxic, so environmentalists needn't fear these high-tech scientific wonder batteries. If all goes well, plans are for these cells to reach store shelves in 2 or 3 years.
