What happens inside black hole???
A black hole is a place where the force of gravity is so powerful that you would need to be traveling at a speed faster than the speed of light to escape its pull. Since nothing in the universe is faster than the speed of light, nothing that falls into a black hole can ever escape. The border at which gravity becomes strong enough to create that phenomenon is known as the "event horizon"; it marks the outer boundary of the black hole. (Until the 1940s, some scientists believed that matter crusted up on the event horizon and didn't fall in.)
Closer to the center, gravity is even stronger. If you were caught by the pull of a black hole, you would be sent into free fall toward its center. The pulling force would increase as you moved toward the center, creating what's called a "tidal force" on your body. That is to say, the gravity acting on your head would be much stronger than the gravity acting on your toes (ass...uming you were falling head-first). That would make your head accelerate faster than your toes; the difference would stretch your body until it snapped apart, first at its weakest point and then disintegrating rapidly from there as the tidal force became stronger than the chemical bonds holding your body together. You'd be reduced to a bunch of disconnected atoms. Those atoms would be stretched into a line and continue in a processional march. As Tyson described it, you would be "extruded through space like toothpaste being squeezed through a tube." No one knows for certain what happens to
those atoms once they reach the center, or "singularity," of a black hole.
In a small black hole—like the one predicted by the LHC doomsayers—this dissolution would occur almost immediately. In fact, for all but the largest black holes, dissolution would happen before a person even crossed the event horizon, and it would take place in a matter of billionths of a second.

3D printing
IT COLLECTION
3D printing- Next big thing or next big bust?? What do you think?
3D printing has been dominating the news lately and you'd be forgiven for thinking we're on the verge of a Star Trek-like future of desktop manufacturing and zero-waste production. An honest appraisal of the tech reveals two things: It has a long way to go, and we should all be pretty excited.
It’s being called the Industrial Revolution 2.0; “Manufacturing’s Big Bang.” Forget about “Made in China,” the future will be constructed in your living room — everything from cars, food, guns, drugs, even human organs. If you believe the hype surrounding 3D printing, which reached a crescendo last month with the opening of the first MakerBot retail store and the New York Maker Faire, you’d be forgiven for thinking we’re entering a Star Trek-like age of endless possibility.

Micosoft surface tab display quality is better than iPad?
Referring to screen resolution as only one element affecting detail seen on the screen, Bathiche talked up a technical measurement called Modulation Transfer Function, which he described as a combination of contrast and resolution. "Without good contrast, resolution decreases," said Bathiche.
And in this area, Surface apparently gets the edge as a result of Microsoft's ClearType display technology.
"The amount of light in a room and the reflections off the screen have a huge effect on the contrast of the display," Bathiche said. "In fact, a small amount of reflection can greatly reduce contrast and thus the perceived resolution of the display. With the ClearType Display technology we took a 3 pronged approach to maximize that perceived resolution and optimize for battery life, weight, and thickness."
...
Looking at Surface, though not officially, Bathiche said the amount of light reflected off Microsoft's tablet was measured at around 5.5 percent to 6.2 percent. In contast, the light reflected off the iPad was larger at 9.9 percent.
"Doing a side by side with the new iPad in a consistently lit room, we have had many people see more detail on Surface RT than on the Ipad with more resolution," Bathiche added.
However, another person challenged Bathiche, asking why Microsoft opted for a higher resolution in the Windows Pro version of Surface.See More

three apples change the world
3 Apples that changed the world
Someone highlighted to me that three Apples have changed the world...
Adam and Eve
Isaac Newton
Steve Jobs
A bit cheesy but food for thought none the less!! So, with the passing of Steve Jobs this week I wanted to write about him and also the three apples that completely changed the world.
Adam and Eve – the power of storytelling
The Biblical story of Adam and Eve eating the apple – the forbidden fruit - will be well known to you, whatever your religious viewpoint. In fact it is one of the best known stories in the entire world.
Adam and Eve is the story of creation and sets the tone for God’s relationship with human kind. It tells the story of our fall from Grace, is the basis for the Christian doctrine of Original Sin and forms the basis of not just one but three of the great religions of the world.
These are complex theological ideas but brilliantly delivered in a story (whatever your view of Biblical truth or allegory) and one of the best examples in history of the power of story-telling to get over complex ideas.
Isaac Newton – this is the modern world
Isaac Newton is widely considered to be the most influential scientist who has ever lived and his greatest theories – on which our entire understanding of the physical universe is based – are said to all be based on an apple falling on his head while he sat under a tree.
Newton laid the foundations for classical mechanics by describing universal gravitation and the three laws of motion which describes how we have understood the physical universe for over three centuries. His work forms the basis of the Physics we learn at school to this day.
He also proved the concept of planetary motion and established that the earth circles the sun – not the other way around.
He also takes the credit along with a guy named Leibniz for the development of differential and integral calculus.
He did a lot of other clever stuff, was a theologian, ran the Royal Mint and was an all round genius.
Put simply, he advanced the scientific revolution that created the entire modern world we live in to this day.
Steve Jobs – intuitive beauty
And so to Steve Jobs who sadly died this week. Steve Jobs is synonymous with Apple, the company he co-founded and the company he has led since 1996. In his innovative drive he has changed so much about technology and the way we live our lives today.
He developed one of the first commercially successful PCs – the Apple II
He created the MacIntosh because he saw the potential of a mouse driven graphical user interface – how crap and unintuitive was computing using the keypad and BBC Basic command prompts.
He set up Pixar out of Lucasfilm which lead to the re-birth of film animation and to films like Toy Story and a Bugs Life.
His revolutionary work at NeXT included a multi-media email system which could share voice, image, graphics and video in email for the first time.
He went back to Apple and turned in upside down, becoming the completely dominant figure.
He achieved enormous commercial success with the iMac based on beautiful design.
He developed the iPod and iTunes digital software which revolutionised the way we access, buy and listen to music. MP3s and digitally sourced music has all but killed CDs and high street record stores. You are more likely to listen to your iPod on the bus or out jogging than listening to music on the car CD player now.
He then developed the iPhone – the first smartphone – a multi touch display mobile phone.
Jobs was an inspirational, charismatic and highly energetic business leader – autocratic too. He was also something of a lifestyle guru. His foresight in setting trends and in innovations of style and intuitive usability has shaped much of our day to day living and the way we use technology in our lives.
Jobs didn’t do market research. He was a true market leader, knowing what the public wanted before they knew it – understanding the marriage of intuitive functionality and beautiful design.

facebook also and it only the easy way to connect with facebookin a fullflash
mood completly is black berry.here we can see many example of students who used
facebook on their smart phone through their smart phone they intouch with social media
as the socialusage of media increase with the aspect of this facebook is also increasingly
popular for maintaining personal and proffesional connection.
and while early adopters of facebook were university students.
''ADVANTAGES OF SMART PHONE''
interenet experience you can send email with attach file browse the internet and watch vedio
