This is so brave of Anderson Cooper to venture into such circumstances and still be so cool-headed to save a boy. Considering the conditions he is in, I would never have even dreamt of doing such a brave thing. Hats off to you dude...

I am an Opera fanboy, and I admit it. But why? Just because it caters to all my basic browsing needs and now they are going to come up with a new version of their browser Opera 10. It is still in alpha stage and I haven't tested it till date but would love to. I just downloaded it and will give you a detailed report once I feel that I had a good feel of this brand new browser from Opera.
For those who want to risk the alpha download at your own risk from HERE...

Vaastu Shastra is a Sanskrit language term combining the words Vaastu, meaning a dwelling or work place, and Shastra, which means a system of science or art. Vaastu Shastra is an ancient Indian architectural science that evolved some 5000 years ago with roots in the sacred Vedic texts. Its principles of building planning and construction seek to bring about an ideal and harmonious balance between humans and the environment.
Vaastu Shastra considers the earth as a living entity from which other living beings spring forth. What makes this possible on our planet is the presence of the Five Elements (Panchmahabhuutas) - Space/Sky (Aakash/Ananta), Air (Vaayu), Fire (Agni), Water (Jala), and Earth (Bhumi). To bring about its aimed-for balance, Vaastu Shastra coordinates these Five Elements with Cosmic Energies and human activities.
The basic rules of Vastu Shastra are based on the eight directions -
Four principle directions:
North (Uttara, ruled by Lord Kuber, God of Wealth)
South (Dakshina, ruled by Lord Yama, God of Death)
East (Purva, ruled by Lord Indra, King of Gods, and Lord Aditya/Surya, God of Sun/Energy)
West (Pashcima, ruled by Lord Varun, God of Rain/Water)
Four secondary directions:
East-North (Ishanya,ruled by Lord Ishanya, God of All Quarters)
North-West (Vayavya, ruled by Lord Vayu, God of Winds)
South-West (Nairutya, ruled by Pitru or Ancestors)
South-East (Agneya, ruled by Lord Agni, God of Fire)
Of these, the East and North are considered the most auspicious.

What will you do when your browser shows a pop-up which says your system is affected by virus and you should run anti-virus check? This is a kind of ads-spread virus. I take the credit for giving the name ads-spread and even the word corporate-spread. This virus just installs some adtracker in your system and keeps on nagging you to do system check. You can't use your browser and you can't access your files as well. This is strictly for Windows operating system.
I had this attack twice and I fell flat on my stomach but could do nothing but reinstall the complete OS, which by all means is a very bad habbit. But now I guess I know what to do. Just recently a computer in my house has been attacked by similar virus and I was worried what would happen to this. But there was this guy who I guess saved the day for me. When I saw and learnt what he did, I felt bad for myself. I was thrashing myself for not getting such a simple thought.
What he did was he shut down the computer, but before shutting down he turned the wireless internet connection off and then he navigated to the "temporary internet files" folder from the run command and deleted the files in it. I thought why through the run command, pat came the answer, because what ever folders you access you might be affecting those folders as well. Okay now all set I shut down the computer and restarted it. I repeat shut down not restart. Hope the virus doesn't come back again...

Here is a list of the oldest registered .com, .net, .org and .edu websites. I found it from the digg.com website and thought to share with you. This list contains some of the leading software gaints like hp, ibm and att. It was good to find that most of the top schools in U.S. are in the list for registering their domain as .edu.
Just have a look at the list, it isn't that great to look at nor it is that appealing but it is still history to relish. Here is the link:: Click Here
