Yesterday I got a pen drive from my friend and inserted it into my PC. The pen drive had some video clips and pdf books which my friend had put from his system. Unfortunately when I opened the pen drive on my system, my anti-virus software alerted me about some viruses and worms in the pen drive. So I selected the heal option and some of the viruses where quarantined. After cleaning up I again opened the pen drive. To my surprise all the folders and files were missing and the drive was empty. I was very much disappointed because it had important data and I was eager to access them. When I checked the properties, it showed that the drive is full. So I got an idea. I just right clicked on the pen drive icon and clicked on search option. Voila! All the files became visible in the search results. I copied them from the search window in to my own hard drive. What a misery with viruses and worms..!

Everyone loves to wear jewellery to augment their beauty and portray their fashion statement. Golden jewellery is the most common and affordable to the middle class. The rich might opt for diamonds, platinum, pearls... etc apart from gold. But the price of gold has increased enormously making it difficult for the middle class to buy. I guess it will be a good idea to wear techellery. Techellery is the fusion of technology and jewellery. It is the new fashion trend gaining popularity. If you wish to propose to a girl how about the idea of presenting her a USB heart pendant. Philips and Swarovski have come up with a plethora of wacky tech accesories for youngsters. Head phones are not only meant for hearing audio but they will also serve as colorful hair bands with studs for a glittering scalp. The most famous of them is the digital pendant which is available in the key chain and chain form. Jewellery will no longer be only a passive aesthetic structure but also serve multiple purposes in the form of techellery. Now it is time for you to grab your own piece of ornamental gizmo and make a style statement with these ubiquitous gadgets.

Haptics is the science of sensing and maneuvering objects by touching. The field has made good progress and things are looking up. It is a fusion of virtual reality and communication mechanism by which you can feel remote objects in a 3D environment just by looking at your computer screen.

If haptics advances at this rate there is a possibility of performing remote surgeries on humans. A doctor can get the feel of the patients body and organs from a remote place and manipulate the movements of a robot to perform the surgery. A lot of work has to be done on this to ensure precision and prevent mishaps. Scientists believe remote surgery will be possible in the future. Haptics has already taken hold in several fields like teleoperators, gaming and several day to day applications. The user can get a feedback about the weight,dimensions and the hardness of the virtual objects. Research is going on to incorporate Peltier effect devices whose temperature can be controlled by applied voltage to get a feel of the temperature of the object. Also the texture of the objects can be felt from variations in friction. Haptic interfaces with sensors can help persons with impaired hands to get a feel of objects. The real challenge will be to get the technology ready to perform remote surgeries in order to save valuable human lives.

Engineering graduates here in Tamilnadu who don't perform well in academics are forced to join BPOs and other lower paid jobs. Many companies have a minimum eligibility criterion in order to get placement. But most of the students in third class studying in third class engineering colleges which do not have campus placement struggle to get placed in an IT company. They end up in call centers where their co-workers are from the arts & science stream who have not spent too much for their degree. Experts say that it is always good to choose the domain for your wards that is most suitable for them. Students forced in to the engineering stream lack interest and don't get good marks in their exams. When they come out of college life they don't get better jobs. But if you allow your children to select what they desire to study they'll perform well.

In recent years the number of accidents because of people talking on the phone while driving is high. The cause for this is now biologically proved. It is due to the interference between the two actions and the brain fails to multitask simultaneously.

A group of researchers have found that the act of speaking and thinking what to speak overloads the brain and puts excess demand on the resources of the brain. This is something similar to the CPU usage in our computers. They came to this conclusion based on two experiments. Some 50 people were tested and asked to detect various shapes on a screen while listening and responding on the phone. In the other experiment they were asked to track a fast moving object with the help of the mouse. The measurements revealed that the subjects were more diverted while preparing to reply or speaking than while listening. They seemed slightly at ease while listening. The experiments were conducted in a circular surround sound environment and the speakers were hidden from the subjects. There will be a significant drop in their concentration levels of a person while talking on the mobile phone during driving which could be fatal. Prevention is always better than cure....
