Google introduced a new feature in Gmail service. Gmail now shows last 5 access types and IP addresses which accessed the current account and lets you end sessions from other locations (where you might have hit remember me option)

Seriously, this is one kick ass feature I’ve been looking for in gmail and they’ve done it with a sweet add-on (I never expected the remote sign-off feature) and for this feature, love you Google.

Don’t ask me why I’ve covered my IP address, I’ve no clue why I did that. May be because, I usually find IP addresses and IDs concealed in screenshots.

This is an old news, but I came to know couple of days before when I was watching TED Talks couple of days before, I came across “The true face of Leonardo Da Vinci” by Siegfried Woldhek. The presenter himself is an artist and he has done a good research on finding the true face of Da Vinci. He uses the known facts about Da Vinci and proves that Da Vinci did three pictures of himself. And he points out the similarities of the three pictures. Well, you can watch it here

But, for the lazy folks who cant/wont/dont have time to watch the show, here are the three pictures.

1. Franchino Gaffurio, The Musician
   
2. Vitruvian Man
   
3. His portrait in red chalk
   

He also stated that the age of the subjects in the photos suit the age of Da Vinci and the time of the photograph. For me, the rather interesting and fascinating thing is that the man in the painting Vitruvian Man was Da Vinci himself. Anyway, this research was presented in an interesting manner and the talk is a small one. So, now stop being lazy and watch it.

As usualy, after watching a movie, rather than going back to my normal life, I started to analyze it. This time the analysis was even more as the movie is one of the worse I’ve ever seen. Even after watching Rajeev Masand’s review on CNN-IBN, where he clearly told that movie sux, I shouldn’t have watched it. But after watching it, I understood that the movie was not just crap but a very crappy copy of great movies I’ve seen.

First half is in 2008 where the movie sucked, even then I could withstand. It started to suck more when the hero reaches 2050 and where I could see buildings, cars, robots copied from some hollywood flicks but shown in a very intolerable way. One Darthvader type of a guy who does Shivaji’s Motte Boss type of sound on his head and uses force to do some kind of blasts through his hands after a dance and his guys with Laser Guns and Tube Lights in their hands (Well, tube lights are supposed to look like Light Sabers) A Robot which tries to be part of iRobot, and one annoying teddy bear. Even if you manage to withstand all of them, the hero is a big problem as he tries to be a copy of Hrithik.

After that movie, I wanted to try my vision of future and it ended up very bad. I guess that flop movie had better future than my thoughts. Anyway, later I renamed it from my future to a present alien planet or how about an ant colony ? If the background doesn’t suit, how about Colony of IT ants which work on computers ? Ah nvm, I’m freezing the name to Alien Planet. I know that its very crude, but come on, its an alien planet and none of us know how it would look as of now

A shocking revealation. A good friend of mine was hiding some thing from us from long time and he revealed it finally in his blog post. This image will make it straight forward for you guys to understand what he was hiding from us.

Yes, I was as surprised as you guys are when I came to know this truth. But, I ‘was’ happy to know that he was doing something what he loved from his childhood. He followed his force and became what he wanted to become.

But, being a guy who sits next to him through out the day at work, I wanted to see his light saber skills. I was astonished by his skills when I saw them. Later I had to accept that he is far better in coding skills than his saber skills. Well, you need to know the shocking reason.

This is ME after the exhibition of his skills.

I request you all to sign this post as a petition for him to stop being a Jedi. Yoda, if  you are reading this post. Please, leave the Jedi council, ask him, you must.

I had a small hobby of doing some neophyte art images on computer when I was in my college. I lost that after college. Some good old albums made me remember good old days of passing time tryign to render the 3D worlds on a 700Mhz processor computer with 128Megs of RAM. Today, I wasn’t able to sleep properly, was little sad that my DSLR’s sensor wasn’t cleaned properly by the service center guys, and was extremely bored. Well, this is result of the boredom. I would love to take a snap like that on my cam though. Anyway, now its going to be my desktop wallpaper for few days.
