Less did I know that committing suicide was cool. Its on rampage. The last post was on seppukoo. It was just to commit suicide on facebook. Check this out, suicidemachine.org. They call it Web 2.0 suicide machine. It helps you commit suicide on facebook, twitter, linkedin & myspace. Wipe out your Web 2.0 identity! Unlike seppukoo, this one helps you kill yourself completely. No resurrection.

Sounds like some sick stuff, doesn’t it? Watch the video. The dude has some valid points.

Remember the news where the village head is proud of some kids naming their company after his village? Yeah, it was Google village. More Google love. Here is a post at TechCrunch on a school being named after Google, with a bit of typo. Indeed the name Google itself is a typo, isn’t it? Keep it coming…

Remember how Tom Cruise commits suicide in The Last Samurai? The very act is called seppuku in Japanese. Here is a site inspired from it called seppukoo. Have fun of committing suicide of your facebook profile. How weird? But its a trend. Hold on you gotta wait. Facebook has banned it to stop the suicide pandemic. Hope you can commit suicide when its reinstated.

As they say, getting it right is expensive, getting it fast is cheap. One more instance of leading bloggers not caring for the validity of the news.

Microsoft ‘Talking Tech’, Bangalore

The Agenda was -

Virtualization, an alternative IT environment
High Availability – Always on Technologies in SQL Server 2008
An introduction to Cloud Computing – Azure services

Nischay spoke on Virtualization. It was all about Hyper-v & a bit on how System center of win server 2008 would help in virtualizing Profile, Application, Desktop & Presentation. I was more interested in Desktop virtualization, which Hyper-v fares badly when compared to Vmware Workstation which pretty much supports every OS on earth. Find out comparison sheet here.

Next session was on SQL Server 2008 by Amit. It was a brilliant presentation. He knew very well what he spoke & did demonstrate hands-on. He presented stuff on Failover Clustering, Database Mirroring, Database Snapshots etc..

Following sumptuous meal was the session on Azure by Tulika. This was the session for which I was there for. As it says in the agenda it was just an intro & nothing interesting turned out of the presentation.

The event also had a lab to check out the technologies discussed.

Give away, also included a cool 2GB thumb drive. Thanks Microsoft!

I bet you cannot get more innovative. Watch this ad for Samsung LED. This is my second post referring to Samsung’s marketing initiatives. The first one was building superfast computer with their SSDs.
