Customized Newspaper

Blogging after a long time.. had been a little busy, I guess, these times.. ok..
Point is - again, looks like, one of my old junk idea is patented by Google :(
It is Google Magazine. I was thinking to have a newspaper in the way the reader wanted, i.e, based on his interests. Some may think business news should come in main paper and some may think sports should come in the main paper. Finally, wanted to say is - newspaper/magazine should be in the interest of the end user i.e., the reader.
They gave the caption as "Customization of Content and Advertisements in Publications.” They covered a lot in their patent like revenue in ads etc.
I just got this idea and mailed myself to work on it before 2005 July itself, but, never done it :( One problem you can see here is - printing. Google guyz patented it in 2006. I think they don't want to make it as a product. I guess - they want to enjoy the royality.
Whatever it may be, once again, I lost my chance, that too, to Google itself. I don't know whether I should feel happy or not.
One qn - can I ask royalty from Google by showing that mail? Waiting for responses

Technology Review Young Scientists TR35 - INVISIBILITY CLOAK

Technology Review have very good articles. There is one article on Invisibility Cloak . It made grin on my face from this ear to that ear as its a proof for Harry Potter story to come into reality. This may lead to BreakThrough in technology. Some nice fundu statements from article Shedding Light on how our brain recognizes faces
.. unravel the process by combining two of the most important tools in neuroscience: brain imaging and electrical recordings from single neurons.
Some nice articles:
Securing systems cyptographically
Optimizing Networks

List of Young Scientists is here

This "Invisibility Cloak" made me to remember the invisible car in "Die Another Day" James Bond movie also. Their villain wears some special type of spectacles which can track it. That should be X-Ray ones according to this article.

My Xperiences with nOvels

Thought of reading novels, to increase my vocabulary. But, my first attempt made me a Boring Chemistry Lecturer. Its because my first novel was "Arrow Of Time". It went like a semester course for me. Finally, stopped reading it.
Somehow, I got Harry Potter - 3 from my friend and read few pages of it. I became big fan of that. I bought the first 2 books and completed them within 2 weeks. I liked them very much. All the time, the characters were roaming in my mind. ('m usually of that kind where the things will be there in my mind roaming. May be same case with many). I just LOVED them. I think - it increased my communication skills, increased my vocabulary too. (I will try to use them in my blogs)
I was under impression that how people can read novels instead of reading technical books. Now, I got to know why people read novels - it increases the visualizatin power, vocabulary, thinking capacity and communication skills ofcourse. But, any thing exceeding limits will hurt and cause problems. So, Happy Reading nOvels to All :)
I will put some of my favourite phrases from that book in my next blogs :)
