Googly for Google?

At last a competitor for Google?? Here comes previewSeek, a super search engine that uses Bayesian statistical data mining, word-sense disambiguation, cognitive visualization theory, heterogeneous database querying technologies, and behavioral psychology all made possible by 20+ yrs of research into AI. Well, thats what the developers in UK have to say about this -> About Previewseek

Aha! Getting toooooo technical isn’t it?. Namma cosmic energy coupled with atomic energy thaan nyabagathukku varuthu :-).

Previewseek categorizes search results by relevance. I did a search on Mainframe and boy, I had results categorized beautifully on the left, into Computers, Systems, Technology, COBOL, Users, H/w, Downloads and many more. So if I need something about the latest info on Z/OS, I would just click Technology and look further. Sounds cool isnt it? Thats AI for you. If you would like info on Java, here we go. Java as coffee, the programming language, as the Indonesian island etc., That would perhaps make previewseek, once launched, a cut above the rest. Yes yes, its still a beta version.

And once you get the search results, there is a micro screenshot of each search result. Hmm... So looks like these guys are all set to give Google a run for its money. Lets wait and watch. After all, this healthy competition is going to make life absolutely easy for mankind. :-)

Check it out… Previewseek

Captain "Karunguly"

One word to describle the axing of a "batting alrounder" - Rubbish (read it the way Geoff Boycott pronounces it..summa thaan...just for a punch). Including a player as "batting alrounder" itself was "dubaakoor velai". The term "batting alrounder" reminds me of "Deferred Live" made famous by whoelse?? DD! Still better was "deferred live ka seedha prasaran" during 2002 football WC ;-)

Captain "Karunguly" as he is affectionately called by Lollu Brothers has just played 2 good innings and saved nearly 10 runs while fielding at mid-on. No marks to anyone saying hez been made a victim of board politics. This is not the way you treat a player, leave alone the tag-lines "most successful captain" or whatever.

Hey guys.. come on... India is a happening place. Batting alrounder being replaced by a batsman at the expense of one Mr.Zaheer Khan who has been just outstanding in Ranji Trophy, captain "Karunguly" getting a place in test team while the shorter version of the game is his stronghold, retaining winning combination for one-day games while disturbing the winning combination for the test matches..... it all happens... only in India courtesy dirty administrators, or rather, a bunch of jokers belonging to a body called BCCI.

As Calcutta went berserk burning effigies of More and slapping it with sticks and slippers while it was burning, I could only say "podra.. nalla pottu medhi da avana". I feel sorry for you Sourav. But I am happy you were removed rather than being made to carry drinks. Dada, pls comeback with a bang. My prayers for that

The selectors are real puppets, rather "Rubber Stamps" - what a wonderful term Navjot Sidhu has coined for the underachieved (they say they get only TA), degenerated losers! The reason they have given for his exclusion - height of stupidity.

I will finish with the Quote of the day.

"There are two things that are abundant in this world. Hydrogen and Stupidity. Unless somebody utters something stupid, the world is a very dull place to live in" - Navjot Sidhu

Hall of Shame

The topic name... is the term I would prefer to use to refer to our parliament. I feel really bad, rather ashamed to say this, but not many would disagree with me after the sensational expose of 11 shameless losers accepting money to ask questions in Parl. What else have these morons been elected for? And these guys have not yet been expelled or even suspended... Thats the state of India. Oopssss... we are the losers for having voted these guys to power. Ha ha... my name has never been in the voter list!
