Yesterday I learnt so many things…

The learned about feotus, birth of the twins, triplets and the quadruplets. Then it followed by by heroic person named Rescroler or Rick who had help saved many lives in the 9/11/01 World Trade Centre attack, though he himself died in that attack. Then finally I learned about the manufacturing process of the world`s most advanced helicoptor- the Apache!

Now let me share my learning experience with you all…

The feotus story…

The National Geographic Channel showed 3 instances. In one a twin were growing up, in another there were a triplet and in the last one a quadruplet were growing up!

It showed the 4D scan pictures through which the doctors were monitoring the babies in the feotus. The way they were groing inside it.

I will only write it here in a bulleted form, because I am no expert here to describe the things which I had seen and/or learned.

There are millions of internet users across India as well as West Asia who are suffering with the same fate!

The Incident:

The undersea or submarine cables, which carry our net data to and fro between India and parts of the world have been accidentally hit by a ship off the port of Egypt in the Mediterranean sea.

The reason was that the ship was not allowed to dock in the coast due to storm in the sea.

Over the years, since Netaji died, there has been a controversy about the way in which he died. The debate will continue to go on as long as people dont get any hard evidence confirming that he had indeed died in a plane crash.

There were 2-3 commissions to find out the facts about the death. There were/are allegations that the government had always tried to cove-up the incident from public due to unrest problems. there are quite a few NGOs and organisations trying to find out the real facts about his death.

Latest Development:

Very recently there has been an interesting development in this regard. An organisation based in Delhi had sought information and/or documents for the government departments. It had done so, under the RTI act.

It had sought those documents/informations based on which the commissions had declared that Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose had indeed died in a plane crash. The government thus released very interesting and untold articles thus far to the public.

Again a bag containing explosives have been found in a local train in Mumbai. Its such a scary thing, isnt it?

The commuters have found a bag lying on a row of seat in the train, when the train reached CST or Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus… a very busy terminus, infact one of the most busiest terminals there.

They then informed the GRP(Government Railway Police) which in turn called the bomb detection and disposal squad.

The bag contained explosives, 13 live unused cartidges and country made guns. The bag also contained local made sweets!

The explosives have been sent for examination.

It proves that terror cells in the financial capital of India are all active and thriving. intelligence forces and departments must wake up and reign them before we have a second Mumbai local train blast, which he had witnessed in June 2006. The local trains of Mumbai is a life-line for lakhs of commuters who travel through it daily. Those trains must be protected and thus the sentiments of common people.

These are few of the digital trends which are thought to be making big this year. All the forecasts are for India.

Lets find out what are these…

GPS comes into our cars -
In 2008, we’ll see screens in our cars which show — thankfully not DVDs but live map directions via satellite. No more getting lost in Gurgaon or in Whitefield.

Net on mobile -
Today less than 10 lakh people do it. In 2008, over 25 lakh will. That, between, is more than the people who access it through a landline today.

E-commerce gets real -
We’ve waited for this since 1998. But this is the year that people will truly start buying stuff online. Over Rs 10,000 crores worth of it will be bought by consumers.

This is a scary news. Social networking site Myspace.com was hacked. It was done by hackers, by getting access of an account of a member there.

The hackers somehow got access to a member account there and used it to post a Microsoft Update relating to a malware removal tool, which was actually a malware in disguise.

When somebody clicked on the popup, which advertised to be malware removal tool from Microsoft, hoping to update their windows OS, a picture opened before them which covered most part of the screen. If anybody clicked anywhere on the picture, the malware started downloading itself in the background.

Luckily the attack was not wide spread and not many users were affected by the attack.

The Trojan, known as TFactory, is a well-known piece of code that has been used by criminals for well over a year, according to Dave Marcus, a security research manager with McAfee.
