    So Google dropped the Gmail tag from the logo and new account address of its Email service, in UK, bowing to the demands of a small British firm that claims the US giant has infringed its trademark, lol!! The name change applies only to UK users!

    Today I was not feeling like attending a lecture at my college so I bunked the damn thing. So when I was roaming around in the campus I found out that the college is much more bigger than it seemed to be! A lot of greenery with complete silence... So from now onwards when I bunk the classes there is a lot of room to hide!! hehe... 😉

  • India Googled

    Google released fresh satellite images of New Delhi, South Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad as a part of its new initiative Google Earth. These images are available to anybody with access to the net, provide users with images of earth from Space, and its not enough, they have also released the most confidential images of Palam Airport, Delhi which is guarded by army personnel 24x7! I think its rather dangerous to a country's privacy!

  • Always remember…

    In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents", replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents", she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream", he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished his ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.

  • Family problems

    Just read this and laugh xD A few years ago, I met a young widow with a grown-up daughter. We got married and got myself a stepdaughter. Later, my father married my stepdaughter. That made my stepdaughter, my step-mother. And my father became my stepson. Also, my wife became mother-in-law of her father-in-law. Much later the daughter of my wife, my stepmother, had a son. This boy was my half-brother because he was my father's son. But he was also the son of my wife's daughter which made him my wife's grand-son. That made me the grand-father of my half-brother. This was nothing until my wife and I had a Baby. Now the half-sister of my son, my stepmother, is also the Grandmother. This makes my father, the brother-in-law of my child, whose stepsister is my father's wife, I am my stepmother's brother-in-law, my wife is her own child's aunt, my son is my father's nephew and I am my OWN GRANDFATHER! And you think you have FAMILY PROBLEMS!!!??
