Eyjafjallajokull Iceland Volcano

After the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull volcano, I was curious to know how long do volcano eruptions last? I found the below table from VolcanoLive. Almost 28% of eruption last for 1month to 6 months. It is scary to see that almost 75% of the volcano  lasts more than one week and more than 56% last more than a month.

Also check out the live pictures of Eyjafjallajokull (Iceland).

Google's Nexus One Phone

Google has launched its own phone Nexus One.

The reviews across the web have been mixed:

Techcrunch says:

Overall the Android is a superior mobile device, particularly when paired with Google Voice. Google is calling this the first of the Super Phones. And they may not be exaggerating all that much.

The Nexus One is an important milestone in the smartphone market. This is a software company, frustrated with making compromises with hardware manufacturers, that has taken the product bull by the horns. HTC makes the phone, but the branding is mostly Google and it’s clear that they directed every aspect of the development of this phone. It’s Google’s vision of the perfect Android device, from the huge and beautiful screen and massively fast Snapdragon processor to the software elegance of Google Navigation, Live Wallpaper and the Voice Keyboard. When combined with Google Voice there is no phone on the market today that can touch the Nexus One.

Unlike previous Android phones, and I’ve used most of them, the Nexus One has no obvious flaws or compromises. The phone is the state of the art in mobile, and I will use it happily. Until, as I always say, something better comes along.

Mashable says:

Overall, it’s what we expected: a slick, fast Android smartphone meant to be a true competitor to the Apple iPhone. It provides some new features (the voice technology is especially impressive) and is fast, but we’ll have to wait to see whether or not this is the phone that will give Apple a run for its money.

Wall Street Journal says:

The Nexus One finally has the right combination of hardware and software to give Android a champion that might attract more people away from their iconic iPhones and BlackBerrys. It has a larger screen than Apple’s phone, and is a bit thinner, narrower and lighter—if a tad longer. And it boasts a better camera and longer talk time between battery charges.

Finally, the iPhone is still a better apps platform. Not only are there more apps, but, in my experience, iPhone apps are generally more polished and come in more varieties.

But, with its fresh phone and bold business model, Google is taking Android to a new level, and that should ramp up the competition in the super-smart-phone space.

Engadget Review says:

Industry politics aside, though, the Nexus One is at its core just another Android smartphone. It’s a particularly good one, don’t get us wrong — certainly up there with the best of its breed — but it’s not in any way the Earth-shattering, paradigm-skewing device the media and community cheerleaders have built it up to be. It’s a good Android phone, but not the last word — in fact, if we had to choose between this phone or the Droid right now, we would lean towards the latter.

Accenture: "We know what it take to be a Tiger!"

It is not at all surprising that even after few weeks of Tiger Wood’s scandal the news is still making headlines and currently the hottest trend on Google.

The latest news is that Accenture has dropped Tiger Wood as its brand ambassador. As per the reports Accenture was paying Woods $7m a year. Accenture has even removed Tiger’s picture from its website. It is such an irony  for Accenture to create the above advertisement that says: “We know what it take to be a Tiger!” I guess now everyone know!

In another news Tiger Woods announced hiatus from golf:

AVATAR, directed and written by James Cameron, is a 3-D science fiction epic film due to be released on December 18, 2009 by 20th Century Fox. Avatar takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home.

The movie focuses on an epic conflict on a far-away world called Pandora, where humans and the native species of Pandora, the Na’vi, engage in a war over the planet’s resources and existence.Pandora is also home to the Na’vi, a sentient humanoid race, who are considered primitive, yet are more physically capable than humans. Standing three meters tall (approximately 10 feet), with tails and sparkling blue skin, the Na’vi live in harmony with their unspoiled world.

Some interesting facts about Avatar:

• James Cameron, the Oscar-winning director of “Titanic”, first conceived the film 15 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not yet exist.
• It took more than four years of production and the movie claims to have a new generation of special effects delivering a never seen before cinematic experience.
• According to Cameron, developers of proprietary Fusion digital 3-D camera, the film is composed of 60% computer-generated elements and 40% live action.

The director planned to create photo-realistic computer-generated characters by using motion capture animation technology. Unlike previous performance capture systems, where the digital environment is added after the actors’ motions have been captured, Cameron’s new virtual camera allows him to observe directly on a monitor how the actors’ virtual counterparts interact with the movie’s digital world in real time and adjust and direct the scenes just as if shooting live action.
