Installing MAC on your PC

Some time back, when I was in India, I tried a couple of new things like "Installing a Mac on a PC" and you know something it worked. All you need is the patch (AMD or Intel) which you can get from the internet and the installation DVD of Mac OS X. Be a good human and get it from Apple or from some authentic source. With these the installation is nothing, just like installing Microsoft Windows. If you are not able to get the CPU patch, then download VMWare player and use it to install the Mac.
I think the following links might be of use to any one of you,

http://tgrounds.blogspot.com/2007/05/osx86-on-pc.html ---> This site explains step by step procedure to install the Mac on your PC.

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Installation_Guides ---> This is a cool wiki, which has mostly answers to all issues faced when installting Mac OS X on your PC. I like these guys and they are doing a good job.

http://aspnetresources.com/blog/macosx_in_winxp.aspx ---> This site discusses about a software called "PearPC" something like VMWare player. I haven't tried it, may be you can give a shot and post a reply as how it is .

http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/964/install_osx_tiger_on_intel_usb_drives_windows ---> This is another one discussing about installing Mac on PC.

Finally before ending up a good site which I found as a useful introduction as how to use VMWare player

Ah, Please take care that you do not use PIRATED stuff anywhere. Give some respect to other's work, cause you will also be in that state one day....

Ok, I am signing off for now. Catch up later ppl..

Business logics or tactics?

Hi all, how is life going for my blog readers? I prefer this question in a simple way like, "How are you treating life?". If I put this question in the other way like, "How is life treating you?", then you ppl. would start complaining, some thing or other. This is mainly because, the life is the director and the person being questioned will turn to be the actor. So instead if the question is framed in the first way I asked, then, the person being questioned turns to be the director and the life is actor. So it makes clear that everyone's life (or fate, the way you wish to call it) is defined and decided by them. Ok enough of philosophies (is it so?) and lets get to my long tried blog story.....

Sometime back, that's around December 2007, I went to a bag shop for getting a bag (obviously.. ;) ). The bag shop owner/sales man was doing an awesome trick (strategy?) to sell some of his costly bags. Following was what happened (this is what happened for another person in the shop. Read the 'You' in following points as 'that person')....

  1. You enter the shop and you are directed to the corresponding section.
  2. In there you browse through what ever you want and pull down anything, test anything. In short you can do anything you want and no body will disturb you.
  3. You can play around like this for 10 minutes. If you are smart enough or very clear on what you want, you can select a normal bag which suits both your need and budget within this stipulated time. But selecting within this 10 mins. is next to impossible, unless you are least bothered about the price and only care for features. The reason for (my)this statement is either the price tag will be unclear or if you select one and reach the cash counter the sales person will say, there is a discount for this and some other varieties. So he will lure you, so that you will get back to the section and will also ask for his help. If you are really really smart or clear in mind, you can end your shopping spree with this step.
  4. Now you will enter this step whatever was your action in the previous step. Now, the sales person starts stuffing you with choices without even letting you think for a minute. This will go on for next 10 mins. Now if you observe carefully, you can notice that atleast half dozen choices offered are of no use to you or from a different section. But this will happen so fast that you will not notice this and think those bags fall under the type you are looking for. Being innocent, you will reject them. :( .
  5. Even if you are some one born and brought up for shopping, you will certainly get confused and will end up with some 3 or 4 choices. Now the usual talking of sales person like "Take this sir/madam, this is good and will suit your need." "This has discount, whereas this doesn't has". "This is good quality, good brand"...yada yada yada.....Finally a bag will be selected and when you are about to reach the cash counter or even after you reach the sales person will be explaining about a bag like it is something which perfectly fites your need, budget, quality scale, warranty, good brand?! etc..etc.. (fill in with what you want and what you have in your mind).
  6. Now here again, he indirectly lures to take up something and by some strange coincidence you will take that up. By my observation, nearly all who where with me in that shop fell for it (including me... ;) ). This final step, the bag sold is certainly of higher price than what ppl. have selected.

I was able to deduce the logic for the first five points, but never able to understand the logic/concept behind point number 6. What was hit, that made ppl fall and why didn't anybody reject the final offer or why they changed their mind at last minute. This piece is a mystery for me and if you can unravel it, please let me know that plzzzz......I think this 6 point procedure might look idiotic or dumb for many, but it seriously matters and un-understandable for me.

Signing off for now....

about male orgasms...

Well, first point to note before reading the blog, I am not a medico. Ok, next I am going to write a little about orgasm. I am writing this mainly because, I feel there is a lot of myth surronding it (rather I am taught that way, and I am still unclear). So why not give an introduction about it, clarifying atleast some basic concepts.

First about male orgasms, problem in this is many people confuse this with ejaculation. Ejacualtion is an act in which sperm content is expelled (hope its a right choice of word) from penis (male sex organ).
Hmmm then what is is orgasm. In terms of definition from dictionary orgasm refers to the peak attained in terms of emotional intensity, a climax in non sexual sense also applies here. But recently this word is being associated with sexual orgasm alone. Orgasm is the climax of sexual excitement, consisting of intense muscle tightening around the genital area experienced as a pleasurable wave of tingling sensations through parts of the body. (defintion taken from encarata dictionary).
In medicos term there are rapid, rhythmic contractions of the prostate, urethra and the muscles at the base of the penis, which typically forces stored semen to be expelled through the penis's urethral opening blah blah blah....
Ok now this process takes plae for generally around 3 to 10 seconds of time and as the man grows older, this time might get reduced, but this NEVER means that it's going to reduce the pleasure he is going to expereince.

Since we now have a fair idea about orgasm, what happens after this?? . Ok this period is called as refractory period and in this state, the penis will not be strong enough to expereince another encounter and it takes some time to get ready. This period varies from minutes to half day based on the persons age, health condition blah blah blah...
There is another concept in which a male can attain an orgasm by stimulating the prostate gland, but it's tooooo techie in terms of medical for me, so will skip it. If you are interested please go through the link I have provided at the end of the article.

Now coming to the concept of male multiple orgasm (yahhhoooo even men have this, not just females enjoying this wonder.). Ok now there are two types of acts in this, one in which there is no ejaculation, but just the pleasure (a feeling or state of mind, i guess) felt called as dry orgasm. In the second type, there is ejaculation but no orgasm (no state of mind.) Man why do people do this second part, no fun in it at all. But one thing stated is if you follow any one process, during the final ejaculation (when having orgasm) the volume will be phenomenal, mean to say volume will be much higher than usual. This (mutliple orgasm) can be achieved by putting pressure on the perineum, just halfway between the scrotum and anus before ejaculating. Great whos got that patience and sure there will lots of failure even for just one success. But please mind that, this is never ever good for health on longer run causing damage to the never and blood vessels in that area. I think all want thier life to be for a longer run. Next thing i dont know what or how to do it and you also better not try something and cause some damage to you. Please speak with some doctor or if you do anything it's your wish to spoil your life, nobody can assume responsibility for it.
Now the other technique for mutiple orgasm is the usual one just relax and let yourself go and all these patient things.
Ok now there are few scientific studies pointing out that, a hormone named prolactin is a likely cause for the refractory period. So based on all these there are as usual great claims made for some medicines in the internet. (I guess all are some marketing ad and wonder how many really work). Ok anything, i don't care, just speak to a doc or a pharmacist before venturing into them. Whatever you do, get some advice from someone qualified.

well I have given a jist of what I read from wikipedia. I am providing the link for it below. I hope that people who posted it there won't mind me using it here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgasm

Page also contains about female orgasm, anal orgasm, it's dsyfunction and how taking drugs might affect it etc. etc..
If you want my version, I am planning to write about female orgasm in next blog and end my part. Remember I am only planning not decided to do it.

Creating VC++ smart device project in VS2005

Ok, this is would be my first technical article here. Here we go
Well many of you people have been using Visual studio 2003 in their developmental activities. Recently windows has released Visual Studio 2005 and many people (also in their offices) would have upgraded to it. Some would have problems in creating VC++ smart device projects in this new environment and others would have nothing. What I mean problems here is "even creation of VC++ smart device project in the Visual Studio 2005 will not be possible." . This specific problem will be faced only in systems whose Internet explorer version is 7.0. . Strange as many of you might think and what could be the connection, when I am able to create a VB or VC# based smart device application in the same system using VS 2005. Again why not this happens if I have IE version 6.0. and VS 2005? So, instead of me explaining, I would like to borrow the words of Fernando Zandoná , the PM in charge of Windows Mobile SDK (Software Development Kit). He has mentioned the following in his blog,


Unable to Create Native (C++) Projects
VC++ Project Wizards are pretty much HTML files + scripts - Visual Studio uses IE to render and present those "web pages" as a wizard. The problem is that, due to the new security model, IE7 does not trust some of those scripts; as a result you keep getting the "New Project" dialog and can't move forward on the wizard. The workaround here is to let IE know that the smart device VC++ wizard is a nice guy and ok to run.

Now, how to overcome this. All you have to do is a simple modification in registry. Hey this modification is also mentioned by the same guy and not me.

Ok, now lets get started. Click on "Start" and then "Run". Now, type in "regedit" on the run dialog box and click on OK. Navigate through and open the following registry entry,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\PreApproved

In this entry create a new "key" (remember I mean a "registry key" and not a "value") with the following name,
{D245F352-3F45-4516-B1E6-04608DA126CC}

You need not add any value in this registry key. Hey while naming the key, don't forget the opening and closing curly braces.

After doing this, close the regedit and you must be able to create VC++ smart device projects in VS2005 environment without any problem.

So what say guys.
