Google StreetView Spies Burning Home, Does Nothing (Probably Microsoft Guy's House) [The Roof Is On Fire]

Google StreetView has been a peculiar bird since its inception earlier this century. It's been blamed for voyeurism, the trampling of privacy rights, and other infractions, but then again it's also been known to capture a few nose pickers or two—so it's a wash as far as I'm concerned. Today, we received word it has some hot new imagery on its hands, literally. As in, this burning house on Eagle Point Drive in sunny Sherwood, Arkansas. [Google StreetView via J-Walk Blog]

Quotes:



Pilgrims deserve better

To my mind, whether or not the land in question should be transferred to the SASB is only a technical question, not the heart of the issue. The more important thing is whether the state government feels that it has an obligation to improve the facilities that would make the pilgrimage of thousands of Hindu devotees more secure and more comfortable

    via TechCrunch by Jason Kincaid on 8/5/08

    Medialets has posted the results of a recent Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research report that details the breakdown of the first 1 million iPhone 3Gs sold worldwide.

    Earlier this month Apple announced that it had reached the milestone in only three days, compared to 74 days for the original iPhone. Of course, the two figures are hardly comparable, as the the 3G version launched simultaneously worldwide in 21 countries - the original iPhone was exclusive to the US for months after its release.

    Unsurprisingly, the report says the United States accounts for 60% of all units sold during the three day period, with a total of 600,000. Trailing by a factor of nearly ten fold is Japan, with 70,000 units sold. Japan’s finish in second place may well be a result of pent up demand, as the original iPhone was never officially sold there (even unlocked phones wouldn’t work, as the original iPhone doesn’t support UMTS).

    The results for carrier distribution aren’t particularly surprising, either. AT&T leads by a wide margin because of its US sales. Despite selling the second highest number of phones, Japan’s carrier Softbank ranks behind T-Mobile and Orange, which both have customers in multiple European countries.

    Above all, the figures reflect the explosive demand for the iPhone seen worldwide, and are especially impressive given the difficulties Apple had with activation in a number of countries. In the United States, the iPhone is still selling out at many stores in a manner of minutes. What remains to be seen is how long the public’s obsession with the iPhone will hold, and if Apple can reach its goal of selling 10 million iPhones in 2008.

    For more details, check out the Medialets post.

    Cannot believe this. A simple search text does not figure in Cuil, the new search engine.
    The same that got so much publicity on TechCrunch over the past 24 hours.
    As often we have seen, Cuil's servers too went crashing after TechCrunch broke the news of their launch.

    I like Ask.com and Google for most of my search needs. I compare the same text in these two and got what I want.
    Ask is one step ahead in sidebars, which I really like.  Google is by far the most powerful.


     
    Excellent interface. Specially the recommendations on the left.

     
    Google is plain English but the results are most relevant.

My Review http://pankaj.posterous.com/jaane-tu-ya-jaane-na-my-review http://pankaj.posterous.com/jaane-tu-ya-jaane-na-my-review

     All about love and relationships

    Nice attempt by the director in showing love relationships. But then we have seen so many films based on the same theme but done better. I mean even though the whole crew is the college crowd, the college atmosphere is missing (which can be a real fun). The film sets in after the college is over for the characters. The best I can think of is Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.

    Acting was good by all the folks and I liked the new faces all around. Even the old timers from small screen looked fresh on the big screen.

    Music was good but those slow numbers could have been somewhat better.

    I would recommend the movie still because there is an air of freshness in the movie and it reminds you of your college masti you had done in your time. But if you see college masti as non-sense and boring then please waste your time.

    Heikki Kovalainen (FIN) McLaren celebrates his first pole position in parc ferme. Formula One World Championship, Rd 9, British Grand Prix, Qualifying Day, Silverstone, England, Saturday, 5 July 2008

    The home fans wanted it to be Hamilton, but it will be the other McLaren of Heikki Kovalainen that will start Sunday's British Grand Prix from P1 on the grid. The Finn won his first F1 pole position the hard way, fighting rain spits and high crosswinds which sent cars skittering all over the place during the first runs in the final session.

    :-)

    It is yet another Federer - Nadal final here in Wimbledon. 
    He defeated Germany's Rainer Schuettler to move into the final.
    Federer defeated Marat Safin in the other semi-final.

    My prediction - Federer will take revenge for his defeat in French Open final.

    It took them a long time to stage such a comeback. All Williams' finals at Wimbledon. Great to find them back in prime form.

    Venus, Serena roll to first All-Williams Wimbledon final since '03

    Defending champion Venus Williams overpowered fifth-seeded Elena Dementieva to advance to the Wimbledon final.
