WTF!

duniya ne hume chhoda - e dil - hum chhod na den kyon duniya ko
duniya ko samjh kar baithe hain - ab duniya duniya kaun kare

Marne ki duyaaen kyon maangun, jeene ki tamanna kaun kare
ye duniya ho ya wo duniya - ab khwahish e duniya kaun kare

BlackBerry Bold Touch

We're just mere days away from the RIM's BlackBerry World Conference and while we speculated that the new device they'd be showing off there would indeed be the all new BlackBerry Bold Touch,

RIM has for lack of better words -- confirmed it via a slip up on the BlackBerry homepage. While the the images are now gone, this is a pretty big slip up to be making in the first place, considering it gives out the name of the device and even shows off the fact it will be running BlackBerry 7.

Go The Fuck To Sleep – Story Book

 

51UHdP8qDZL._SS500_

Go the Fuck To Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing off to dreamland.

Honest, profane, and affectionate, Adam Mansbach's verses and Ricardo Cortés' illustrations perfectly capture the familiar--and unspoken--tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night, and open up a conversation about parenting in the process.

Beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny, Go the Fuck to Sleep is a perfect gift for parents new, old, or expectant. Here is a sample verse:

The cats nestle close to their kittens now.
The lambs have laid down with the sheep.
You're cozy and warm in your bed, my dear
Please go the fuck to sleep.

Remember It – Yet Another Pointless iPhone App

New Picture

but it's really pretty simple. Set the alarm in a place and it goes off when you leave that place.

Link

So this is a location based alarm - I get that. What I don’t understand is - how will the alarm remind me that I have forgotten my keys or credit card or whatever?

From what I can understand, this is supposed to work by the app alerting me when I move from a location. So, when the alarm goes off, I am expected to check for everything I came in with?

I honestly don’t see how this is of any use. If I can remember to set the alarm (when I walk in to a bar) and disable the alarm (when I am walking out of a bar), I can definitely remember to check that I am leaving with everything, right? It’s not like this thing is going to alert me and say ‘hey, you forgot your car keys on the table’.

One of the Perfect for situation highlighted is When you leave your phone charging.

Err.. well, the phone will be in the same place, the phone won’t move which means the location won’t change, which means the alarm won’t go off! How the hell is this perfect for when you leave your phone charging??

Casio Wristwatch 'the sign of al-Qaida'

The possession of a Casio F-91W model watch and the silver-color version of this model, the A159W, is an indicator of al-Qaida training in the manufacture of improvised explosive devices (IEDs)

The watch they are talking about:

I seriously doubt that I will ever be able to figure out how anyone can take these “analyst” reports seriously. There is an obvious lack of intelligence when it comes to the intelligence agencies.

This is just as bad as the time someone had proposed to monitor the food items being sold to determine if there were sleeper cells in an area. Eat falafel? You are a terrorist [Link].

Background Send - Gmail

Sending

To help give you that time back, there’s a new feature in Gmail Labs called Background Send. Once you turn it on from the Labs tab in Settings, you can get on with what you’re doing while Gmail quietly sends off your mail in the background. You can keep reading your inbox, compose new messages, chat with people — all the things you’d usually do. You can even send more than one message in the background at the same time.

If anything goes wrong (maybe you got that email address wrong, or maybe your connection had a hiccup), you’ll see a warning message that prompts you to go back and fix the issue or try again later.

The “Send errror” message will stay around until you decide to fix things, so you don’t have to stop whatever you’re doing right away.

The only catch is that you should wait for your mail to finish sending before you close Gmail or shut down your computer. If messages are still being sent in the background when you shut down, your messages are probably going to be lost. You’ll know you’re good to go when you see a message like this (screenshot below).

IRS 3,000 to 19 Pantry Workers Of Rajdhani Express

New Delhi:  Alert pantry staff of the Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani Express averted a major tragedy on Monday and saved hundreds of lives when three coaches of the train caught fire.

Now, making mockery of their bravery, the Railways has awarded just Rs. 3000 to 19 pantry workers, which works out to Rs. 158 per person.

Seriously, why bother giving anything at all!

How To “ACACT” In Case Of Fire

Clicked this one at the hospital.

The “ACACT” made me chuckle. What really got me wondering was – Point No: 7 and 8. First take everyone OUT of the building and then go BACK INTO the burning building to switch off mechanical, electrical and gas systems?

There wasn’t enough time, or else I would have tried to get a better picture.

  • A turtle doesn’t run, or do any of the things the others named here do … yet lives a hell lot longer.

I rest my case!
