Wikipedia Turns Eleven, Users Celebrate Worldwide
2012-01-16 12:34:00 Eleven years ago, in 2001, Wikipedia dot org was born. Part of the Wikimedia Foundation, it is a student’s gift from heaven, a researcher’s delight and a professor’s nightmare. Wikipedia aims to collect all the information known to mankind under one (virtual) roof, and they have done an admirable job of trying to do so. With tens of thousands of regular editors and contributors across the globe, they are the go-to website for pretty much anyone searching for information. On Sunday, 15th January, Wikipedia marked their 11th Anniversary. On turning 10 in 2001, Wikipedia Editors across the world had parties celebrating the milestone.

Solar Energy Companies Worldwide Threatened by Cuts in Government Subsidies
2011-10-28 21:23:00 In any country, at the end of the proverbial day, both energy utilities and consumers are finally interested in the technologies that generate a kilowatt of electricity most inexpensively, all other considerations aside. Accordingly, all countries involved in solar energy are optimists, but nascent industrial efforts to generate power on a commercial scale from the sun are without exception dependent upon current government subsidies to enter the market, which is littered with optimism, the failure of U.S. federally subsidized company Solyndra being Exhibit A. But countries worldwide are seeking government support to shield their embryonic solar industries from market realities until conditions improve, and few countries are more caught between the realities of the "free market" and national priorities . . . → Read More: Solar Energy Companies Worldwide Threatened by Cuts in Government Subsidies

WORLDWIDE UNREST
2011-10-04 08:55:00 A recent New York Times article highlights a very fascinating and intriguing movement that's sweeping the globe--unrest. Yes, we've seen it everywhere this year, from the Twitter-induced revolution in Libya, to the riots in London, to the more recent Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City. According to the article, more young people than ever before are outraged with politics and government corruption, and letting it be known! A big factor, the article also explains, has a lot to do with the leaderless Web culture that is so prominent among many of these young rebels. The resources available via the Internet have created almost perfect storm conditions for worldwide upheaval.

What Is A Cult? Does Sathya Sai Baba Preside Over A Servile, Worldwide Cult
2011-03-21 04:12:00 Is the Sathya Sai Organization a cult? It is a fair question. No careless use of terms will serve us well. We might also enquire - perhaps of our own selves, more than anyone else, whether there are significant cultic elements in those institutions we may too readily deem 'mainstream' or liveable-with, or somehow 'rational', 'normal', and so forth. Does not the human mind tend to cling to certain presumed verities? How would we do traveling, for a while, without them? Even if such 'verities' had some substance to them, does the clinging in itself nullify any more profound nurturing of our being that we would wish to be mediated via our belief systems? I pose questions, here, rather than wish to plunge into answers. Perhaps it is our human readiness to come up with answers, and structures and tenets that traps instead of frees us. Perhaps we need, first, to posit, for the sake of argument or simply the fun of it, that we are trapped in our 'verities' and 'solutions'...

State Department Worldwide Travel Alert
2010-09-10 18:48:00 The Christian minister of a small church in Florida canceled on Thursday his plan to burn copies of the Quran that had been scheduled for Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. The planned protest had sparked angry demonstrations by Muslims around the world. The Reverend Terry Jones announced his change of heart at a news conference late Thursday in front of his church in Gainesville, Florida. Jones said he called off the Quran burning protest because he had secured an agreement with Muslim leaders in New York City to move the location of a controversial planned Islamic center and mosque away from the site of the 2001 terrorist attacks known as Ground Zero in lower Manhattan. "The American people do not want the mosque there and, of course, Muslims do not want us to burn the Quran," said Terry Jones. "The imam has agreed to move the mosque. We have agreed to cancel our event on Saturday. And on Saturday, I will be flying up there...
Worldwide Mobile Subscribers Now Stand At 5 Billion
2010-07-16 13:35:00 Though not very new, Mobile mania does not seem to be losing its popularity till today. This is evident from the fact that the total number of mobile subscribers in the world has crossed a whopping 5 billion mark. The milestone was reached on 8th July, 2010, Telecom major Ericsson reports. With the entire population of about 6.8 billion in the world, this figure indicates that as much as 73% of these people have mobile phones. And the day is not far when everyone on this planet will be on mobile. India and China seem to have been adding on to this growth at a substantial rate. The global figure stood at 720 million, just about a decade ago. But China alone has this many subscribers today. India is following a competitive trail with a user base of about 600 million. Mobile phones apart, the number of mobile broadband users is also growing at an exponential rate. If it grows continually (which is very much likely to happen) at this rate, it is expected that by the year 2015 there wou...

McAfee Update Causes Windows XP SP3 Machines to Fail Worldwide
2010-04-21 22:34:00 I imagine that 21st April 2010 will be a day that McAfee will remember for sometime to come and probably one they would much prefer to forget! The antivirus vendor issued its daily security update DAT5958 at 06:00 PDT (GMT-7), but by 13:00 BST (GMT+1) the update was wreaking havoc on many corporate networks in the United Kingdom, let alone the rest of the world! The update affected Windows XP machines with Service Pack 3 applied, falsely detecting the svchost.exe file as Win32/wecorl.a. The vendor’s VirusScan product essentially prevented the svchost.exe file from running, causing Windows to endlessly reboot in many cases. McAfee acted fairly quickly by pulling the affected virus definition file (DAT5958) from their download servers, preventing more customers from becoming involved in what must be one of the worst update issues to impact corporate networks for some time. They released DAT5959 to replace the affected virus definition file at around 10:15 PDT (GMT-7). ...

I was thinking about the fun I'd have for the rest of the day far away from my cubicle when all of a sudden my tranquillity was interrupted by something that sounded like a big explosion.

Then another loud bang almost made me dropped my precious coffee on my Polo robe. ?What The Flying FAK', I thought?

Michael Moore Makes It To the "Big Time" Again..... Worldwide......Larry Ki
2009-09-22 15:42:00 Artists always have to encourage and cheer for other artists no matter what their medium is. If any artist has figured out how to make it to the "big time" i.e. making money from their passion craft of choice, every other artist should be clapping for that artist. If anyone knew the odds of making it to the "big time" and this rare and strange event happening, they would just become GM assembly line workers as I'm sure that is what was expected of Michael Moore. They'd have their life's work pre-determined for them. They'd make an honest decent living. Their calling would be on the assembly line of life. That's the way it always was and ever will be. Now shut up. Do your assembly line robot job. Be happy you got that. Don't make waves, and for God's sakes don't ever ever ever wonder if this is really what you were meant to do all your life. This is the blue collar way. God himself could be tapping you on the shoulder saying "Hey, I need you over here Michael" But blue col...
