App Inventor Versus Scratch

Google has launched it's latest innovative solution for mobile applications. Now you may think what so special about it? Well, it is special because now it is not required to be a programmer to develop a mobile application for Android operating system. With the help of this latest App Inventor, any non-programmer can develop a mobile application. The idea is quite innovative, as it uses blocks instead of textual code to create an application. Though this idea is not so unique, since another language named Scratch, that is meant for kids, was launched in Dec, 2007 by Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. Scratch has been developed keeping kids in mind. So it was made to teach programming language to kids in a very simple way. And to make it so, all the complexity have been removed. Hence, the result were blocks of hidden wrapped codes. It seems that Google has taken this idea further and made it more general purpose. In fact, it looks more useful, if it can be used...

AS3: Function to resize an image

My first self-review of my performance & work in my first job

Below is my email that I'd emailed to my Boss before my first performance review and it was before I got permanent in the G-Cube Solution. It was my first survey of my performance & work to show it to my Boss on 24th May 2007. After reading this email my boss was surprised because nobody (no employee) had ever done this type of work in his life. My boss Kapil Sir with another director Ankit Jain (Hr head) talked to me about this email and many other things with that. The reaction I'd got was just amazing. Have a look at my email that is given below: I’ve asked people about the cases when someone out of their colleagues got promotion or salary hike then what happened, what type of problems they faced, what was the reaction of their colleagues, etc., before I’d joined the company. And on the basis of those cases, I have analysed this.   Possible problems arise when someone  (an employee , say A )   gets  promotion or salary hike and if  their  colleagues do not accept that :-...

Algorithm of Luck

Luck = Preparation + Opportunity.

There is a new SOS/SOSG code out for chatters

There is a new code out ... just like "lol" or "brb".  This one is a little different. Plz take a look. It can help u. PROBLEM : You all know how it feels when your talking to someone online and someone is standing behind you lookin at everything you type, especially MOM or DAD.  SOLUTION : To solve this problem, now online chatters have deviced the "code SOS" system. According to this system, SOS = Someone Over Shoulder SOSG = Someone Over Shoulder Gone IMPLEMENTATION : Simply type "SOS" when someone is watching over ur shoulder.  change ur Mode of Talking,  from CASUAL to ATTENTION  That way, the other person will know what ur talkin about and start talkin about homework or something irrelevant.  When they leave, type "SOSG". change ur Mode of Talking,  from ATTENTION to CASUAL That is, u can now go back to ur normal conversation again.  . . . SPREAD THE CODE 'SOS'.

Orkut is deleting profiles - Myth busted

Hey you all orkut users, as I've came across many messages that says 'Orkut is deleting profiles' or something like that. So I thought to clarify this problem. As many of the users are afraid of this. GOOD NEWS !!! Orkut couldn't delete any of the profile without prior notifications.  I suggest you to see the link given below:- http://www.google.com/accounts/TOS This link will show you 'orkut.com Terms of Service'. As per our habbits, we generally ignore to read these things while registering or opening our account. So now give it a look. In the 'term and termination' section,  "... We may terminate your membership immediately at any time, for any reason. ..." is stated. But they can delete the profile "... who does not receive this scrap ..." is ridiculous.  If they want to see who are using/not using their account then why don't they look the record. In which it is stated that when a user has last login or have done last scrap/m...
