Gobbledygook

I am a member of Counter strike clan named AZOSH…………..named after me and my brothers. Every one has a nick and mine is Gobbledygook………..Why? What is the reason behind this nick? So to know the reason behind my nick, here we go

At the time of my graduation I received the title of “Min Min Jee” ( in Urdu) which means that I talk in so less volume that every other person thinks that I am just moving my lips and making small sounds……….or I am just doing gibberish

So I started looking for something similar to the title I received and found Gobbledygook. To some it is a nonsensical language and for some it can be a secret language for sharing thoughts; but to my clan it’s a player with non sensical strategies and this clearly describes why my blog is gobbledygook……….because there are no links in all posts in my blog and it makes no sense whatsoever I am posting, just like this very post………which itself has become gobbledygook

Wag the Dog….

Why does a dog wag its tail?

Because a dog is smarter than its tail.

If the tail were smarter, the tail would wag the dog.

The above part looks funny but it’s true and it is very well presented in a classic film Wag the Dog. I usually suggest this film to all my friends, but they rarely find and watch it. But today, I found the movie in youtube and therefore I am uploading all the links here

Murder or Suicide?

Last night I received a mail form friend with this subject. I thought that it might be a riddle or some problem for which I will have to spare some time and find solution. But when I checked it, I was surprised to see the following story:

Its still a mystery whether this incident took place or not? The same thing has been filmed in a major Hollywood Movie named “MAGNOLIA“. Here is the clip from  the movie of the same scene, of course the name of the characters as well as the dates are different from the one mentioned in your attachment.

The Crisis of Credit

I received this video in my group and thought it is worth sharing. It shows how credits can effect the society. Nice work by Jonathan

The Story of Pakistan

The Story of Pakistan, its struggle and its achievement, is the story of great human ideals, struggling to survive in the face of odds and difficulties…

- Quaid e Azam (Chittagong, March 1948)

Story of Pakistan is the most comprehensive reference of political history of Pakistan. I prepared for my exams from here and got 90% result , jokes apart but it is a great site. It has information about almost all those heroes who contributed in their different ways to create Pakistan; and it also has information about almost all those who contributed to bring Pakistan into stability and enable Pakistan to face the modern age.

40th Birthday of Mouse

This week the famous computer mouse celebrated it’s 40th birthday, but the question arises whether the new growing technologies will make the mouse obsolete or not.

Forty years ago this week, the computer mouse made its first public appearance at a technology gathering in San Francisco.

The device was the brainchild of Doug Engelbart and his team at Stanford Research Institute in California, who were looking for a new way to control their computers. Before the mouse scrolled its way onto the scene, the team had been using light pens, similar to those favoured by radar operators during the war, to navigate around their screens.

Although the team tried a variety of new input methods, it was the mouse that proved the most successful. “The mouse won in every category [of tests], even though it had never been used before,” recalled Mr Engelbart. “It was faster, and with it people made fewer mistakes.”

No-one can remember who started calling the wooden device a “mouse”, but the name stuck, and the gadget went on to become one of the most significant developments in the history of computing. Apple was the first company to really take the idea of mouse control to the mass market, but it was Microsoft, who developed an entire operating system around the input capabilities of the mouse, that cemented its place in the public consciousness.

For years, the mouse has remained the pre-eminent computer controller. While the rubbery track-pad may have made way for infra-red sensors, and some mice now offer so many buttons and personalisation options that they wouldn’t seem out of place on a space shuttle, its simplicity and ease of use has guaranteed its place in users’ hearts. In fact, just this week Logitech, one of the biggest mouse makers in the world, announced it had turned out its billionth mouse.

But the mouse could soon find its days numbered, as hardware manufacturers and software developers seek new and improved ways of simplifying the interaction between people and technology.

Some experts predict that within the next decade, the mouse could be consigned to the digital scrapheap, as more and more computer uses turn to touch-screens and gesture-recognition to control their computers. “I very much doubt that we’ll be using the mouse in 40 years’ time,” says Steve Prentice, an analyst with Gartner.
