When the Go gets Going (Google Go)

Google the search engine giant has introduced its newest programing language called "Go". This is the second programing language Google has released in the recent past. In july this year they released the language called Simple.

Go is a system language like C, C++ but as they claim it is an extremely fast for development like Python. Go works with Google's open-source technology Native Client, designed for running native code in web-based applications, but it is not known yet whether Go will be used in the new Google operating system, Chrome.

Here is the URL for Go language's official website http://www.golang.org. You will find tutorials, samples, compiler downloads and many more in this site.

Facebook, the modern age Detective Service

This is a very interesting news which I read today. A boyfriend of a rape victim has started Facebook group called "Find the Sale rapist", where he is asking help from the Facebook community to help the police to identify the suspected rapist. He has included some CCTV images in this group. This is what he has to say about this

"I WANT THIS "SUSPECT" TRIED AND CONVICTED FOR WHAT HE DID TO MY FIANCEE AND TO STOP IT EVER HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSETHIS "SUSPECT" IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY AT TRIAL A TRIAL I WANT TO HAPPEN!"

This is a very interesting move and apparently the first time the social networking site has been employed to identify a criminal.

And what is more interesting is the way Technology is contributing to a better society. Lets wish him best of luck.

Second life : The revaluation of modern web

If you have ever heard of Second life (http://www.secondlife.com/) you must know how exciting it is. When I came across this for the first time I felt like it will be the next generation of web. It has given a birth to the most lacking part of the web (virtual representation of the community).
For those who don’t know what it is this is how SL defines itself:
"Second Life® is a 3-D virtual world created by its Residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by millions of Residents from around the globe. "
When you get registered there you can create an avatar which is basically virtual you. And you can build your own house according to your own design. You can buy stuff using Linden Dollars (SL currency) or start your own business. Also there are lots of events everyday you can participate from community service events to fashion shows. The most important thing is each and every person you meet there is actually a real person. And also for the people who do code can use Linden Script Language (LSL) to code a small game or a highly complex program. If you build something interesting you will have a good consumer market so you can earn money. And also you can exchange your Linden Dollars to USD at any stock exchange inside the SL.
This site has initialized in 2003 and now it has more than 1 million residences, so if you go there you can meet lots of people and if you are smart enough you can be rich or famous in the second life. There is a real chance that you may feel the second life is better than your first life. At the moment there are people who has addicted to this and spent most of their time in this virtual world and live less time in the real world.
