Difference between P2P and Torrent. Find out here

there are a lot of dicsussions going arround this. BitTorrent itself is a Peer-2-Peer sharing but the biggest difference is that bitTorrent breaks the file in several pieces and download each piece simulataneously from those who already have downloaded that piece or the complete file. This mainly makes it faster for bigger downloads.

Check out a few of the links below:

Sync it up …

The advent of internet has made it all possible.

Microsoft may have been giants of software but somewhere down the isle, there are a few big names who are projecting a new paradigm of software, which is “Service”. Google, are the very first in this list who presented whole lot of services, you may call it Google Docs, spreadsheets, earth or maps, wave and voice, the Android and yes, above all, Chrome OS. It’s all good, better to say, great. However, the question is, where will all the existing stuff will go? How General People are going to adopt this in an instant? Are you ready to give it all up and start using this new paradigm overnight?

Perhaps those are a few reasons for me not being able to switch to Google wave yet. I mean why would I need to have a Google account in order to be able to see any wave anyone has just sent me? or, should I expect everyone to have a Google account with whom I communicate? That’s one point that perhaps no one would consider if communications were invented today.

On the other hand, the Google Docs has made a fine job there. Irrespective of browser or the platform you are using, you can still use the Google Docs. As far as I can see, I think they have written some application to run on the browser, didn’t they? if it is, then I guess it might take a very long time to make any web app as rich and interactive as desktop is now. Instead why not we develop some engine that could ship the very desktop apps to the web. If Google or any other are able to do that, they would no longer need to write an operating system for the browser, they can easily ship the whole Windows to the web.

As far as Microsoft is concerned, I’ve just had an experience to use Windows Live Essentials Beta, and I believe that with the 25 GB SkyDrive and online Microsoft Office Suite Web Apps together with Windows live sync beta,  Windows live mail beta, movie maker and writer, has taken a huge leap ahead here. The point is, this all is basically the same software that I use on my desktop and now I’m using it on the internet. The same experience and the same usability. Just got synced up!

Performance Appraisals

"A horse gallops with his lungs,
Perseveres with his heart,
And wins with his character." ~ Tesio

Have you ever experienced a horse racing?

Why does the horse run to his breath out? 

Does he have anything to do with the prize money?

There are a lot of such questions that no one might never have thought about. However, the answer actually lays beneath the question lines themselves. A horse doesn’t run for prize money or fame, he just runs, only because he likes to run when his master makes him run. He does not want any special grass in lunch. All he need is gentle touches of his master on his back.

“The spirited horse, which will try to win the race of its own accord,

will run even faster if encouraged.”

The reason I’m writing this here has a message to tell. Every now and then, and in every situation we all come across Performance Evaluations and Appraisals and Awards. No matter if we are on job, or in studies, or making movies in showbiz, or even in home where the evaluators are our elder siblings and parents. With the results, we are often happy, and sometimes, when it doesn’t come our way, we take it wrong. And unfortunately in that point of desperation, some of us make bold decisions that we don’t fully understand either. These decisions are sometimes good, and sometimes result in not being good as well. It’s not actually the low wages that drive people in or out, it’s the Managers who are unable to show enough commitment and backup to those fast running horses of organization.

The key thing is the motivation and encouragement. Yes, that is the only thing that is beyond money or increments or appraisals. It’s the commitment that one shows when they are socially bonded with the place where they work. And on the other hand the motivation that organization shows with warmth of their words.

“One word of appreciation is far better than a thousand dollar increment.”
