Top 50 companies to work for!!!

Recently Glassdoor.com, a very good website to find out reviews and information about the companies, announced a List of Top 50 companies to work for.  


The ratings are based on Employee satisfaction which plays an integral role for a company to succeed in all aspects. Here's a snapshot of all the Top 50 companies that one can wish to work for.

Facebook, rated No 1 Company to work for, is indubitably, the Leader in this segment and has managed to beat Google, which stands at No 30. Based on this results, one would certainly agree with the fact about the kind of revolution Facebook has created and also provides the belief that, there is potentially no end to creativity in technology. 

Facebook or rather Mark Zukerberg has set himself as the right example to prove the fact that, Technology can become outdated, but never obsolete and this forms the fundamental rule and a basis for our survival in near future. There is no end to technology until the human race ceases to exist. We are in the core of the Revolution called "The Social Networking" and there are many more such revolutions expected in future.

My Next DIY Project : Ugly Duckling Study Lamp

Hey ya'll,

 Was thinking of buying a study lamp for myself, as I had to have one at home.  So when i started researching the variety of study lamps available in today's market, I bumped into this awesome creation by a Hong Kong based designer Karmic To. 

This is an awesome interpretation of a literary story, wherein a ugly duckling who matures into a swan. You will be amazed at how simple this design is and how creative one can get with simplicity. 

Its wonderful to see how To has interpreted this idea using PVC pipes, which are so commonly available and a material often leftover from construction or renovation. He uses the pipe in combination with discarded plastic bottles to create these beautiful, yet ugly :), aesthetic table lamps. 

The design itself represents in a way, the neck and head of swan, which provides an aesthetically appealing piece of art, just composed out of some ugly resources. Hence the name Ugly Duckling ;) 

Designer karmic has certainly inspired me to do this as my next DIY Project and will post the shots of my new Ugly Duckling Study/Table Lamp asap.

Why graphic designers are Hard to Date!!!!

How much is a PetaByte

The preceding infographic, provided by the online storage site Mozy, is an intense look at all the qualities of a petabyte, which is equal to one quadrillion bytes. Quite a lot of memory, right? To put things into perspective, one single petabyte is equal to 20 million four-drawer filing cabinets filled with text, as the graphic notes. It’s also equal to 13.3 years of HD-TV video. So, how much are 1.5 petabytes equal to?  That’s the size of 10 billion photos on Facebook. When you start getting into 20 petabytes, you begin looking at crazy numbers, for 20 petabytes is the amount of data that Google processes on a single day. And get this, the total manufactured hardrive space in 1995 was equal to about 20 petabytes.  Ready for  a stat sure to shake you out of your boots? 50 petabytes, only 30 more than 20 obviously, is equal to the entire written collection of work by all of mankind (in all languages) since the dawn of civilization.  So, when you consider that Google processes 20 petabytes in a single day, it’s not inconceivable at all to think it will one day have records of every single text in human history. I mean, they are already processing more than 50 petabytes of data in a given week.

Since this graphic was created by Mozy, you might be wondering how many petabytes Mozy has stored, and the answer to that question is roughly 15 petabytes.  The graphic contains many intriguing facts, such as the fact that that worldwide datacenters now annually consume as much energy as Sweden. Hardrives are getting larger and larger, but they remain affordable because the price of them continues to go down. In 2007, Hitachi announced the world’s first terabyte hard drive which holds 1000 Gigabytes.  One company, Colossal storage, predicts that it will have a 1.2 petabyte hard drive on the market in the next 2-5 years.
