Bhaiya , I will take my chances . A Company that does not respect my freedom of choice is a company that does not respect its employees .

Good riddance is all I say ..

that is what I will say too.
but look at India. Bloody hell want to know your marital status, how many kids, age, photo, etc all on the resume. Isn't that shitty?

Very True , and it is ironic that the resume in India is formatted this way . Lot of unnecessary information is required . Like naukri ke saath stock options and one chokri also if single .

Do you like to watch TV in the shower ?
Will this be the kind of tv you will be interested in?

The presentation is really worth a watch . The ending is really good .

I knew of his grad students playing with this since 2008...so, in fact his grad students solved the problem...he gets a free ride because he wrote a proposal and got monies from DARPA or some agency like that

How many here will give up their FB password for a good paying job ?

You can always say you don't have a FB account...if they find your pic...you can argue that somebody may be impersonating me and that I will look into the matter

Software Detects Motion that the Human Eye Can't See

A new set of software algorithms can amplify aspects of a video and reveal what is normally undetectable to human eyesight, making it possible to, for example, measure someone's pulse by shooting a video of him and capturing the way blood is flowing across his face.

So now that we have 'deliberately' set up the experiment to determine the 'Particle' nature of light, it happily obliges and behaves as a particle.. But if u leave it alone, it will behave like a wave..!!

JaySpeech was talking about electrons (as in Feynman Lectures on Physics, vol 3 chapter 1)....

There is already a semi quantum computer available in the open market: D - Wave One.

It costs 10$ million bucks a piece and is the size of a room.

I predict in another thirty years, all of us will be carrying pocket quantum computers.

History never repeats... it betters itself. Instead of pocket-quantum I would think quantum-injected bodies... a computer merged into a human... man-machines.

So can your digital trace give an idea about how you are feeling.

This is a project by stanford university that indexes blogs all over the world to generate what the world population is feeling at any given time .

So many different feelings you head can spin
