Live TV Show from a Plane

Few years back watching Live Satellite TV shows on a Plane was kind of a stretch. Now Few Airlines have Live TV Programs available. Even though Domestic Airlines in US providing this service is small, Virgin America is one of them which can do this. Virgin America has been living on edge by trying to do something. Their Inflight Entertainment called RED is state of the art. I am not saying this as a PR crap but having used the system on the plane on few of the segments. They started a trend and in turn created history by being part of telecasting Live TV show from plane 35,000 feet. Virgin America launched GoGo their WiFi hotspot on plane services last November with a similar YouTube Live Concert. But today this is different, a segment of CBS Early show was televised from the plane. Here is the clipping. Watch closely you will be surprised ;-)

Fermat's Last Theorem

I happened to glance through one of books which I always wanted to read. Fermat's Enigma by Simon Singh is one of the page turners. I have read few books for their story telling ability or their literary ability. I have read few text books for the sole purpose of digesting the contents. This book is mind boggling and will make you turn the page and will let you think as well. This book is written in explaining simple concepts. The book does contain appendices for math junkies who like to digest proofs. Well what is Fermat's last theorem and why does this have so much significance for Mathematcial community, I would say you got to read the book or journals or cheat like me to watch youtube to get proof of Fermat's last theorem. Here you go.

S*** Happens

The title of the post is kind of odd considering I already have a category for the same title. This is nothing new we all know S*** happens everybody is affected in varying degrees at varying instance. I want to echo for folks who are in greener pastures, the pastures seem to be drying with no green anywhere. For folks who moved to US for greener oppurtunities(Dollar bill is still green) with a better conversion rate of Dollar and the enevitable Green Card. Both seem to be fading to a dark brown color. Dollar has been highest point in Weakness in 17 years. With US coming to a 0.5 GDP last quarter, salary wont be rising for Worker class. With folks fighting to battle for white house the uncertaininty is in the air.

Everybody talks about recession hitting US, nobody talks how long or how deep will it be , the last time US was hit by recession US saw a minor deep or that is what the Economics Gurus has been seeing, well if so when every body talks about being hit by recession but nobody talks when we get out of it? I guess everybody talks in retrospect with no idea of how economy is headed? Everybody is talking about democrats taking control over white house soon but we dont have a front runner, CNN predicted a dead heat until Democratic convention to nominate a candidate which means 6 months of misery before we find out who is the president, stock markets will swing both ways when there is a news of who is the front runner , Believe every wind of a news will make it happen. While this is happening what about folks who moved here for greener pastures of second kind? Green Card will be distant dream for folks from certain countries such as India, China, Philipines and Mexico. These countries use up quota every year which means that folks waiting for green card will wait longer and longer and longer. I am talking about folks who have Bachelors 4 year degree atleast. There are folks who have Masters degree in US they seem to be in the most of pain with running out of Immigrant visa within couple of months of Fiscal year( A fiscal year for Visa begins October of every year) why is this happening because the Immigration system is ancient while the folks who make the technology happen dont seem to enjoy newer rules and nobody wants to do anything. I guess this is another issue like Abortion or gun control where you talk the system is broken to get elected and do nothing about it to pave the way for others to do the same in a same manner while adding misery to lives. Every white house candidate talks about Immigration System is broken and we got to fix it but havent seen any step positvely to correct, granted rules have been changing to address this unless visa numbers are increased for folks who are skilled I dont see light at all as unskilled worker gets his green card in few months of landing while skilled worker continues to pile on his misery.

This is just not a post to vent my frustration but for folks to evaluate what is happening around them.
