Bye Bye Google :(

In this post I will review Cuil and Bing an unpopular search engines and a “real" alternatives for Google.

Cuil ..

Cuil pronounced as "Cool" means Knowledge is an old Irish word. It was launched in late July 2008 which claims to have larger index than any other search engines. It is available in English, French , German , Italian , Portugese , Spanish and Turkish.

It claims it searches three times as Google and ten times as Microsoft( Source : Click Here). <----I Strongly DONT agree on this with my practical search experience.

I thought rather than re-writing boring stuffs which is available in the net , it would be worth enough to compare and present the practical difference between Google and Cuil.

To compare them I searched the keyword "Vellore" ( a small city in Tamil Nadu) in both of them. Please check the screen shot of the result page

Google Screen Shot



Design:
I bet Cuil stays far better than Google in many aspects. What I do like most about it the search results are displayed in Columns wise rather than Row wise so that it avoids empty space as much as it could. It has tabs with in the webpage itself as like modern web browser which makes the user to navigate across different search alternatives. Instead of displaying images in the front it associates images with the website which is good one. I like the background color which is black and of course its people's opinion and choice.

Speed:
Eventhough Cuil claims it has more indexing, I find Google is much much faster than any other search engines with my various testing results. For instance, for the search Keyword "Vellore" the response time for Google is 0.23 seconds and since Cuil doesn't reveal its speed ,I tested with third party performance testing tool and found the response time for the same is 0.47 which is almost double than Google.

Search Content:
Its the most important feature for any search engine as the users are heavily dependent on the fact search results.

The number of search results thrown is actually depends on the search keyword . For the search "Vellore" Google returned 5,010,000 pages Cuil returned 23,728 pages only and for the search "Karthik" Google returned 2,120,000 pages only and Cuil returned 6,822,795 pages but I don’t think any user will check more than first 20-40 pages so its important for the search crawl engines to decide what it should put in the first few pages.

Google ranks the site and filters based on the popularity and number of website hits. Cuil says it doesn’t look for the number of hits but the content of the website.

The best part of Cuil is "Explore by Category" which displays relevant search topics. If you move your mouse cursor over the category it will open a short note which provides additional information
For the search Vellore it provides "Time line for Vellore" in a small scrollable window which provides information about the Vellore since from 400 BC till this date .

In the beginning Cuil was heavily blamed for irrelevant search results and inappropriate content. Now it is providing an option to filter adult sites.
The best part about Google is Images,Video,Maps,Booking etc is integrated into a single place where as in Cuil you can just search websites alone. You can’t search videos or Images in Cuil which is one of the major drawbacks for Cuil.

So both Google and Cuil have its own pros and cons. If you are the one who is plainly searching for data I'd suggest Cuil and if not and you are looking for Videos, Images, Maps then it’s better to go with Google.

Bing........

Microsoft launched its new search engine Bing
Beta version on Jun 05 2009. As its a Beta version , I hope it wouldn’t have delivered all of if its features so it wont be appropriate to compare with the giant Google who is on the market since many years.

The tag lines for the Bing are
"Bing is decision engine, not search engine"
"We will deliver answers , not WebPages"

It’s always been difficult for me to watch videos while surfing at office since its forbidden. It’s a big relief for me now as I can preview the videos in Bing itself rather than watching them by logging in third party site. I bet this feature will make a traffic jam in Bing.

Bing is aimed at online shoppers and will initially focus on helping people make buying decisions, plan trips, research health matters, or find local businesses.

The most important factor for Bing is its a product from Microsoft and it knows all the techniques to market even a donkey by showing them as a horse.

PS : The best part is I googled the features of Cuil and Bing . Google Rocks!

Can Women Rape Men ?

Around a month ago when me and my friend was reading some Tamil paper we read the news "College girl raped, Young men arrested ". The moment I read it , I recalled a program where a famous psychologist getting interviewed in Vijay Tv(Tamil channel). She said a women can not be raped without her co-operation unless and until she is unconsious.

In the process of rape after certain point of time women will lose her emotionally and physically and will surrender herself to a rapist. In this case a women is having intercourse doesnt mean she is not raped, if its the case then it means around 95% of rape are actually not a rape at all.If a women(victim) co-operates but with no interest at the initial stage also can be defined as rape.

Now comes an interesting question "If the victim also co-operates Can Women Rape Men ??" Yes , ofcourse ! Both women and men can perpetrate rape.

One in five male victims are sexually abused by women, a new study has revealed. According to 'Spiritus Kinections' counselling services co-ordinator Dr Gary Foster, 5-10 percent of all reported rapes in any year see adult male victims.

In 1997 , Theresa S 36 years old female living at Spokane(City in United States) convicted of raping a man was given a judgment of 30 years in prison. She was accused of torturing the 42 year old man at her apartment.The male victim was raped , beaten and threated with the knife.

Linha Sinha , Indian origin female teacher convicted of having sex with her students. If one has sex with less than 15 years old , its also termed as rape even it has happened with the interest of both of them.

In another incident widely reported in the South African media, two women allegedly lured a 21-year old job seeker away from a brick company by pretending they were equally looking for work. While walking across an open field, they pounced on the oung man and raped him. According to report, police arrested a woman while the other escaped. The victim told the police thus: “They threatened me, forced me to take off my pants, and then rubbed lotion on my penis to get an erection. The other woman kept watch while the arrested woman had sex with me.”

Now comes an interesting question again ? If a man is not in a mood to intercourse how can he be raped ?

If a man is not in the right mood for sex, the female rapists have a way of creating one. They caress, suck and rub the victim's penis with a lotion. And before you say rape, the penis is erect and ready for action.

Getting an erection or ejaculation during sexual assault doesn't mean a male victim really wanted it or consented to it.Erection shows nothing other than your body responds how it is suppose to do and most of us misunderstood that errection equals arousal .

Both errection and arousal are actually different.In reality errection means is that part of the body has nerve endings that respond to touch and that touch can be wanted or not wanted, pleasant or non pleasant.

Now as far as ejaculation goes, again this is a very normal thing to have happened.First off, it is because it is a normal reaction to stimulation. Second, the pressure on the penis will, by it's self, release some fluid, making the penis more sensitive to that stimulation.One other thing to remember, is that ejaculation against your will, and an orgasm when having a wanted sexual encounter are, two totally different things.

The issue of women raping men is now one of the major problems in South Africa.It has revealed that female rapists are mostly

AIDS infected prostitutes. They are angry that men have given them the disease and have decided to give it back to them.

Myth - Hindi is National Language of India

Huh .. ! Finally I have decided to write this blog as I am completely fed up of repeatedly debating about Indian languages with my North Indian friends. At any cause this blog is not intended to create a hate between North-South Indians and it purposely cares to showcase the views of Tamil Nadu on behalf of every Tamilian.

For the past couple of years, I am closely interacting with North Indians in my college, office and also met few in social networking sites. I studied in a college ( http://vit.ac.in/ ) which is in Tamil Nadu where 70% are North Indians, 20% are from Andhra Pradesh and remaining 10% is shared between foreigners and Tamilians . I could see that there is lot of "hate" between the students since everyone doesn’t share the same language, and students are grouped based on the language, state and religion

North Indians proudly "assume" themselves as true Indians just because they speak Hindi and feel South India especially Tamil Nadu are not a part of India . Whenever I debate(sometimes fight) with some of my North Indian friends regarding north-south divide the first word that comes from their mouth is " Tamilians dont even speak their national language, Hindi " . Here, I would like to make a point that “Hindi is not our national language . Neither the Constitution of India, nor any Indian law defines any national language.” It is most widely spoken language and just because it is spoken by 40% of Indians doesn’t mean that it should be treated as National language for others too and they should speak it . How does it sounds if an American says that “English is the global language “ as it is widely spoken

I strongly don’t think just because if everyone speaks the common language then entire nation will stand united, It is people's self interest differentiates us and not the language. So if we assume like that, then just because Hinduism is followed by 80% of Indians can we declare "Hinduism as a National religion" and everyone should follow it .. No, of course not ..

Assume North Indians has so much respect in the word "National"

1. How many North Indians do care about National game - Hockey
2. How many North Indians do care about National animal/bird which is being tortured in zoo
3. How many North Indian women do keep National flowers in their head or use it for spiritual purpose.

If a person is coming from one place to other for short time for the purpose of making money or gaining knowledge , is it his/her responsibility to acclimatize to that place or should he expect that society forgets his long living customs , traditions and adapts to his culture ?

I would like to ask my North Indian friends that as you expect every South Indian should speak Hindi if you come to South India.. Do you expect the same if you go to US/Europe for short term . Where do you get Roti/Dhal if you go to Western Europe ? I have seen lot of my north Indian friends who complaint about Idly/Dosa and Tamil , they don’t have any problem in eating out burgers , dogs when they go to western countries. I aint quoting those are worst food and Idly/Vada are better that that . It’s all in your attitude that confines your views.

I, being with a Mother tongue of Telugu learned Tamil as I have grown up in Tamil Nadu . If I come to North India, I will learn Hindi for my survival. Just because for my survival can I expect everyone in my community should learn Hindi and tomorrow if I go to China ,will I ask everyone to learn Chinese...and what if I go to Korea ..

We Tamilians are not restricting anyone to learn any language, just because of 2% people self interest 98% can’t follow it.. If personally someone interest to learn any language they can learn it ..

I would like to bring up the story "Anna Durai and Two dogs theory !" which is written by Ex-Chief Minister of TamilNadu , Anna Durai .

A man had two dogs - a big one and a small one. He wanted his dogs to go in and out of the house freely without him having to keep the house door open all the time. So he built two "trap doors" - one big trap door for the big dog and one small for the small dog.

Neighbors who saw these two doors laughed at him and called him an idiot. Why put a big door and a small door? All that was needed was the big door. Both the big and the small dog could use it!

North Indian arguments for making Hindi the official or link language of India is as ridiculous as the need for a big door and a small door for the big dog and the small dog. Indian government agrees that English is needed for communication with the world, and every school in India teaches English after the fifth grade. Then the Indian government says that all of us should know Hindi also in order to communicate amongst ourselves within India.

"Since every school in India teaches English, why can't it be our link language? Why do Tamils have to study English for communication with the world and Hindi for communications within India? Do we need a big door for the big dog and a small door for the small dog? I say, let the small dog use the big door too!" .

I wish and hope those who are reading doesn’t take it as North-South divide and understand its purpose of our stand. Finally , we Indians have lot of difference in everything right from religion , language , food , entertainment , attitude , color and everyone can’t follow the same thing. We should understand the uniqueness/specialty of each other’s and appreciate it, that’s what our forefathers called it as “Unity in Diversity" .

Pseudo Secular Indian Media

Since I didn't get enough time to pen down and write this blog it has become a long over due to post it . Here , I'd like to thank few Orkut users for their valuable contribution and for sharing their views either in support or against to me .

Before I begin to talk about them, I define the word "Secularism" as
"Secularism is not supporting minority , Secularism is Liberty "

"Responsible,Unbiased and Honest reporting journalism are strong pillars of society "
"Reporting truth and unbiased news will be public eye openers "

I'm surprised to know whether our Sickular Indian Media have ever heard of these quotes or not . I'd list how these mass media partially telecast the news and hides the rest . It indeed not a mistake by them alone, but also from some of the EDUCATED STUPIDS who are proud of watching only English news channels , and therefore they are lacked of acquiring real knowledge.

FACTS ABOUT INDIAN ENGLISH MEDIA

Why our Sickular Media is so Anti Hindu but favours Congress , Christian Missionaries ,Muslims and Marxists .
The answer lies in the ownership of media

NDTV :
It is much better news channel among others but still there are some facts . It is funded by Gospels of Charity in Spain , It supports Communist . Recently it has developed soft corner towards Pakistan because Mushraf allowed only this channel to be aired in Pakistan .

Indian CEO Pranoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat , General Seceratary of Communist Party of India .Do you see the connection ?

Indian Today : It used to be only national weekly which was true but has now been been bought by NDTV . Since then tone has changed to Anti-Hindu .

Times Group : It is owned by Bennet & Coleman "World Christian Council " does 80% of the Funding and an Englishman and Italian share 20% . The Italian Robertio Mindo , who has 10% stake in Times group is close relative of Sonia Gandhi ? Do you see the connection ?

CNN IBN :
The worst among all CNN(Communal News Network) . This is 100% funded by Southern Baptist Church with its braches in all over the world with HQ in US . The church annualy allocates millions of money for promotion of its channel . Its India head is Rajdeep and wife Sagarika (the one who wants Sita to wear moden dress). Southern Baptist Church is the largest Baptist griup and second largest group of Christians in US.
Conversion is their core. No wonder CNN supports Christain Conversion .Do you see the connection ?

Start TV
It is run by an Australian , who is supported by St.Peters Pontifical Church Melbourne . This channel is another conversion sympathizer . This has been recently taken over by Joshua Society based in Switzerland .

Check this link : http://www.joshuaproject.net/ ( Place for conversion)


Asian Age and Deccan Chronicle :
It is owned by Saudi Arabian COmpany with its Chief Editor M.J Akbar . It is the same Saudi Arabia which is the biggest supporter of terrorism and exporter of Wahhabism which belives in Islamic Supermacy and supression of Non Muslims .

1. CNN(Communal News Network)-IBN :
It says CNN says that it has not aired the cash for vote tapes because the investigation is "incomplete" and has some "loose ends".This is highly unethical to professional journalism . Investigation is not the job of media. The job of the media is to present facts collected by it.No TV channel or newspaper should do investigations and give judgment .Investigating agencies and the judicial process should care of it .

2. CNN_IBN sees everything communal . Even in a Monkey . Here is their news headlines .
"Hindu" Monkey bites Muslim , held . Communal war in monkey also . Does that monkey knows whether its Hindu or Christian ?
www.ibnlive.com/news/hindu-monkey-bites-muslim-kid-held/24127-3.html

3. They are silent on the fate of 3,50,000 Hindus terrorized to flee from Muslim Majority Kashmir,they dont talk about the hundred of people who have been bombed to death in Coimbatore , Hyderabad , B'lore , Mumbai , Delhi , Meerut , Varanasi . They talk more about human right violations for Muslims and their Jehadis . If a SIMI is arrested with proper evidence , its Human right violation .

4. Bhupendra , CNN reporter . Is this guy reporter or just road side parrot astrologer ? On Gujarat election he predicted Modi will loose with his PARROT . Hell !

5. In an interview he asked Modi itself whether terrorism is problem of Gujrat or India and why Modi should talk about ?? Is he reporter or uneducated stupid dump to ask that question ?

6. Banned book : "Satanic Verses"
Banned movie : "Da Vinci Code "
But allowed criticizin Ramayana

7. Restricted publishing cartoons on Muhmmad , Restricted publishing articles on movie criticizing Christ : Da Vinci Code .They argued it will create communal rights . Generously allowed publishing painting of MF Hussain depicting Hindu Gods and Godesses nakes . Argued it has freedom of expression and liberty .

8. Call agitating Muslim and Christian group as innocent Muslim and christian right groups where as Hindu agitating group are Fanatic Voilent Hindutva Hindus .They have foreign origins . It looks like their interest are mainly to inject and instigate communal disharmony and see air time . People of Gujarat completely forgot the past and moved on . But not the media.

9. This bloody M F Hussain raises Pakistan Flag in India eating out Indian food , and Secular assholes remains Silent .If Hindus done something in return to what they have done , its
majority voilent .

Aren't you ashame of all these ?

THESE ARE OUR PSEUDO SECULAR INDIAN MEDIA WHERE WE FEEL PROUD OF WATCHING JUST COZ THEY ARE TELECASTING IN ENGLISH.
