Bill Gates admits 'Ctrl+Alt+Del' was a mistake

You start the day at office by pressing the three magic keys Ctrl, Alt and Del all at once. Some how it seems to be secure and make us think like Microsoft made this combination so that one cannot simply login into machine by pressing single key. But in reality it was frustrating for some one to think like why I need to press so many keys at once. The same question was asked by David Rubenstein, Harvard Campaign co-chair to Bill Gates. And Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder admitted that Ctrl+Alt+Del was a mistake. He said it was mistake from an IBM keyboard designer at that time, David Bradley. Earlier Bill asked for a single key to login, but the design was made already at that time.

David Bradley, once gave answer for the same question at 20th anniversary of IBM PC. He said

“It was like a five-minute job in doing it. I didn’t realize I was going to create a cultural icon when I did it. But I have to share the credit. I may have invented it, but I think Bill made it famous."

MeeBhoomi - A good initiative from AP Govt.

We bring nothing when we come to this world and we take nothing when we died. But still, what we have in the life will be valuable at least for the time we live. Wait, why I'm saying this now, because most of our valuable time is well spent on the land issues. And there is so many things need to happen to know the present owner of the land. Recently AP (Andhra Pradesh) government announces a portal for public to access all the land details.

Google's Stadia, the GAME changer!

Having a high-end computer or any one of the boxes (Xbox, PlayStation) is not necessary to play high end games in the near future. Recently Google announced a new product from its armory related to gaming at GDC2019, called Stadia . Stadia offers to stream the game in the web browser itself. The game will be loaded and run on the server side, only the video will be played on your computer/mobile. This can be called as Cloud Gaming or Game as a Service (GaaS). All we need is a decent internet connection and probably a subscription for Stadia. No need for any boxes. The traditional premium boxes will be second thought. Since they are expensive for a casual gamer, Stadia will be the best option to experience big games. High tech spec GPUs, high speed processors and all the expensive hardware part will be saved. Hmm, it sounds awesome!! This is another master plan by Google to rule the digital world. Already Google and it's echo system is way more penetrated...
