			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The search engine giant has update the crisis with some other information as well. It started with Person Finder tool, which started with only 4000+ records and now has more that 88000+ records while I am writing this post.<span id="more-1144"></span></p>
<p>The tool lets you find someone and enter someones record in Google&#8217;s Database, in case you come across a person with an ID to enter. This would help many poeple to find their loved ones.</p>
<p>The crisis page also includes Japan&#8217;s local emergency numbers that people can use  when they need one and in this scenario, everyone is going to need one. It also lists Alarms and Warnings, disaster message boards, transportation status (bus, flight, etc.) and blackout status, where the electricity will not be available for quite a few days.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of what<a title="Google Crisis Response Page" href="http://www.google.com/crisisresponse/japanquake2011.html" target="_blank"> Google Crisis Response page</a> looks like. Follow the link to see it in person.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s past 12:oo O&#8217;clock and it is the blissful day dedicated for love, yeah friends, it is none other than Valentine&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p>Google has changed its doodle/logo for this very day. It might last for a couple of days, but anyway that&#8217;s none of our concern. Google&#8217;s love doodle now wishes &#8216;Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day from Google and Robert Indiana&#8217;, so we &#8216;wish them lots of love back&#8217;.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 529px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-989" href="http://www.tastethetech.com/2011/02/14/happy-valentines-day-from-google-and-robert-indiana/google-valentines-day-logo/"><img title="Google Valentines Day Logo" src="../wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Google-Valentines-Day-Logo.jpg" alt="Google Valentines Day Logo" width="519" height="293" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Google Valentines Day Logo</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>Anyway, this Valentine&#8217;s Day thing is not much celebrated in India and there are people with several unique values who despise Valentine&#8217;s Day, because folks can get away by &#8216;come on pa&#8230; it&#8217;s just valentine&#8217;s day&#8217;.<br />
You get to wish and tell some precious peoples that you love them (it&#8217;s not necessary your soul mate you know) and will always care for them. however, does valentine&#8217;s day actually bring people closer? Who knows? But if you don&#8217;t wish yours special ones, you will definitely be in a lot of trouble.</p>
<p>Stay safe and enjoy today&#8217;s day friends. <img src='http://www.tastethetech.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How crazy can you be to do life casting? That is a valid question until I tell you that Wafaa Bilal, a NYU Professor, actually planted or surgically installed a camera in the back of his head to do life casting in real time and by that, I mean, big time real-time.</p>
<div id="attachment_952" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.tastethetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Wafaa-Bilal-removes-camera-from-his-back-of-head.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-952" title="Wafaa Bilal removes camera from his back of head" src="http://www.tastethetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Wafaa-Bilal-removes-camera-from-his-back-of-head.jpg" alt="Wafaa Bilal removes camera from his back of head" width="500" height="281" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image Credit - BradFarWell</p></div>
<p>So, there&#8217;s that and now we come to know that he is facing a lot of pain which, I guess, was bound to happen sooner or later. You see, it was something like, messing with the processor of a system. This is tech blog, so bear with my language.<br />
You can&#8217;t let even a micro-particle (dust or something like that) inside a processor. This brain is a fricking badass processor friends.<br />
In any case, I&#8217;ve seen a lot of life casting on Discovery and they used it to research how animal live their awesome/savage life.<br />
Bilal did eventually give up for the pain, but I do appreciate his guts to hold for this long, and removed the camera from his head (or back of the head if you will).<br />
In any case, I do not recommend anything like that. I do recommend reaching for a cliff and see the life in its full glory, but when your head hurts like hell, even that gloriousness seems hell, aren&#8217;t I right?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>This time, Google logo will be &#8216;Almost Alive&#8217;!!!</h1>
<p>So, have you heard about Google Demo Slam competition that ended on 30th January 2011? Well, it finally did! Some seriously crazy and amazing stuff took place and we got the chance to see Google logo in every unique way possible.</p>
<p>However, who would have thought that Google logo could be brought to life with <em>science coupled with craziness. </em>Professor Dr Edward Johnson and Clayton Wright from the Eastern Virginia Medical  School did it with remarkable success and fun.</p>
<p>How about you watch the video right here and leave your amazing words in the comment section below? Sounds like a plan, right?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[
In any case I came to just one conclusion and that was, I can't definitely watch any of these with my parents or grandparents (they won't understand any of those heart-touching stories).]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are pretty lame questions aren&#8217;t they? The main reason that brought me down to my desk and type all this stuff is because yesterday, I was kind of thinking about how I should categorize the Anime that I&#8217;ve seen until now.</p>
<p>Well, apart from their general category, like romantic comedy, mecha, science-fiction, super natural, action, comedy, adventure, slice of life, etc., I didn&#8217;t know how to put them in my watch-list. I am not certain if I should watch Naruto Shippuden with my buddies or not, or Ah! My Goddess with my little sister or not, etc.</p>
<p>In any case I came to just one conclusion and that was, I can&#8217;t definitely watch any of these with my parents or grandparents (they won&#8217;t understand any of those heart-touching stories).</p>
<p>Personally, I just love to watch Romantic Comedy Anime and I&#8217;ve got my own reasons for that.</p>
<p>i) I love to watch comedy because it gives me a break from this ridiculous and bored life of mine.</p>
<p>ii) And with a slice of romance in comedy, everything just feels so perfect and I can&#8217;t help myself from watching same Anime several times.</p>
<p>I would like to put Ouran High School Host Club at the first place because I just can&#8217;t get enough of it. Every time I watch it, I just can&#8217;t stop myself from toppling off the sofa.</p>
<p>There are so many Anime and so less time to watch, so I always search (or Google) for top ten or top five best romantic comedy Anime and every time I get different results on different blogs and websites.</p>
<p>My favorite blog (if you really want me to say) for this information is Neko Kyou&#8217;s blog. His list introduced me several new Anime (I was a beginner in this Anime world and wasn&#8217;t used to watch many) and I had a lot of fun watching them.</p>
<p>I wish I could do this, but I want to thank him personally for introducing me, Ouran, Kenichi, Wallflower, Fumofu and Ranma ½.</p>
<p>Anyways, what was my topic again? Oh yeah! Why Anime are known as adult cartoon?</p>
<p>Well, cartoons don&#8217;t appeal us so much, at least they never appealed to me. Although, there was this one cartoon that I loved so much, when I was a kid (not too long ago) I used to dream about it. It was one of the best shows on Cartoon Network (India).</p>
<p>I was too dumb to figure it out back then. It was actually an Anime, it was Dragon Ball Z. My very first Anime that I loved so much.</p>
<p>I thought that this show was definitely for kids but with a different plot (a big one). It had a goal, something to thrive for, some teenage humor, etc.</p>
<p>But later, when I came to know about this big world of Anime. I couldn&#8217;t stop myself from saying, &#8220;Whoa!!!&#8221; Then I came to know and was sure, &#8220;Anime are definitely not just ordinary cartoon&#8221;.</p>
<p>They were more than just silly bugs laughing around and kids playing in sand, cat chasing mouse, a sailor beating the crap out of someone with just a can of &#8216;spinach&#8217;, &#8230;&#8230;&#8230; there is not an end to this if you know what I mean!</p>
<p>There was a better and advanced side to cartoons (which opened to me just 3 years ago) and that&#8217;s what we know as anime (not just Japanese cartoon).</p>
<p>A boy to gain respect from his village, a boy to learn martial arts so that he can defend people who are most important to him, a girl who loves darkness and fights the world with flashing creatures, a boy who is able to share moments of his life with a goddess&#8230;&#8230;. (As you know this too well, there is also not end to this one as well)</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s why I love anime (and I call them cartoons for adults) because somehow they relax me in a different manner. And, to tell you the truth, they fill up a spot in my heart which is blank because I am just too dumb to interact with the world around me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8216;Why on earth do you believe in God?&#8217; my friend said after a long chat in café. &#8216;Listen! Not everything in this world has a reason to begin with&#8217;, I said when I had nothing else to say or put a fact.</p>
<p>My words were like I was hanging on a leaf to save myself from drowning. A long silence followed between us in which neither of us said anything. After all, some things really don&#8217;t have a reason at all.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I am writing this piece right now. If everything were for the sake of questions and answers, I don&#8217;t think we would be the way we are now.</p>
<p>My friend was moved when he watched George Carlin&#8217;s show, &#8216;It&#8217;s bad for ya&#8217;! He came straight towards me and started questioning like an interviewer. Everything went well until we came to our good old topic, God and religions.</p>
<p>He asked me those questions that I never thought in my life, never questioned about them from anyone. Not even from my parents who were the source of this knowledge of God and religion.</p>
<p>He cornered me with a line which is worth mentioning here. &#8216;Have you ever thought that we (human) are the only species who have killed our own kind more than any other species on this earth?&#8217;</p>
<p>I obviously did not know what to say, he told me that the line was from George Carlin&#8217;s show.</p>
<p>We left the café after a silence of 15 minutes. I don&#8217;t know if I was infuriated by his vast knowledge or my lack of knowledge. I couldn&#8217;t help myself from saying, &#8220;Everything in this world can&#8217;t be explained with your Science!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Was I wrong when I said that or was I merely trying to escape the fact that I knew nothing about the things I thought I knew? In any case, I am now thinking whether everything in this world that is happening or about to happen has a reason from the very start!</p>
<p>May be or may be not! I do have reason for several things that I do in my daily life. I&#8217;ve a job and reason is I want to earn money; reason, I want to buy things I like or need; reason, I can&#8217;t live without them or feel happy with those things around me; reason, &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. (silence)!</p>
<p>Now when I think about it, the only reason that made me shake was, why on earth do I want to be happy?!</p>
<p>Pretty lame question isn&#8217;t it? Well that&#8217;s what made me feel a bit better after the horrifying interviewing session with my friend.</p>
