Guy Kawasaki has also hands-on on this book and reviewed it here.

After reading iCon, my interest in Apple has n'ed and am just waiting for this book like a 8-year old pig-tailed kid waiting for her first Barbie Doll ;)

Getting crazy - Thought Process Entanglement!


Yesterday night i was reading about quantum entanglement and a little about how the superposition of states lead us to an almost infinite amount of number-crunching.Then I was reading about Galiliean Motion and the concept of space and time, and objects(points) too. Today was also mentioning the same to one of my pals online.

Later in the day when I was reading about DOM and distributed objects online w.r.t EJBs , then suddenly the 'Objects in EJB' led me to ponder for a second about Galilean Physics and the notion of Objects!

Death Predictor


Now this is something that kept me LoLing for atleast 10-15 mins. I have come across the Death Calculator and could at least understand the 'random' number generator funda behind it; but this is just the heights of it. This link tells you "How will you Die'!!! Note : the 'How' factor and not the 'When' factor :)

Venkatraman.S: At age 75 you will die from an equipment malfunction in an exciting, fear based reality game show. Your death will receive the highest ratings of any episode of any reality show, ever.


Check out the last few words, does it mean that i will be a great celebrity then !! or just some menial being's death has been exaggerrated by the media/press.
[ Dont waste your precious grey cells pondering this ]
