In the afternoon, my friend and I had a conversation over the phone to meet at seven at a restaurant nearby. Since I arrived early, I decided to take a table. It’s evening now. I’m sitting in a cafe at Koteshwar . The girl across the table is seated with a confused-looking fellow, who might be in question, a worker at a local furniture-maker. They speak with a low voice, look at each other and leave. I take a few sips of the liquid the restaurant calls coffee. I think whether my stomach will get upset over this issue. I take a quick glance around, only to see the dissatisfied faces of some waiters. Are they underpaid? I try not to think over their financial inadequacy. Suddenly my friend enters view. He is a vet, and a most polite fellow. He talks with reason, and gives his personal point of view in most cases. Just as he gets seated, he mumbles a comment about a waiter’s face, “Is he underpaid?” How much I’d like to know! Our conversation turns towards cost-estimation for running...

Fujifilm, the maker of cameras and camera accessories has made available one of the first 3D cameras for sale. According to its website , the 3D camera can efficiently replicate colours with with 10 megapixel sensor. Traditional cameras have been able to shoot and display frames in two dimensions, but this one can capture a third dimension: depth. the trick is to add a second lens. While the first lens does the routine 2D work, the second lens does a magical job of capturing the inherent depth. Two separate processors, built inside, then mix the two into a composite image that can be viewed normally on a 3D LCD monitor, thereby providing a richer experience. Or if you don’t want to invest on a 3D monitor, the camera has one built-in – so there is not an actual need for that. But it’s a good idea to get one, because more digital content will eventually require 3D viewing in coming years. And did I say that the camera has a 2D shooting/viewing mode as well? With the cost of electroni...

Murphy's Law ("If anything can go wrong, it will") was born at Edwards Air Force Base in 1949 at North Base. It was named after Capt. Edward A. Murphy, an engineer working on Air Force Project MX981, designed to see how much sudden deceleration a person can stand in a crash. One day, after finding that a transducer was wired wrong, he cursed the technician responsible and said, "If there is any way to do it wrong, he'll find it." The contractor's project manager kept a list of "laws" which he called Murphy's Law. Over the years, many people have made their own additions, and the compilation is pretty impressive. Take a look . MURPHY'S LAW – If anything can go wrong, it will. O'TOOLE'S COMMENTARY – Murphy was an optimist. MURPHY'S FIRST COROLLARY – Nothing is as easy as it looks. MURPHY'S SECOND COROLLARY – Everything takes longer than you think. MURPHY'S THIRD COROLLARY – If there is a possibility of several thi...
