Get Netted

Well to be honest cats were never easy to bell, but there are some cats that only 6 or 7 in 250 thousand people are able to bell them. This cat isn’t any animal, it is CAT or common admission test, the score of which is used to determine fate of thousands of students.

CAT is conducted by various IIM, one of world’s most prestigious management education institutes, on third Sunday of November every year. It is an objective test that usually consists of three sections, Quantitative aptitude, Data Interpretation and logical reasoning, and English. Quality, concentration and number of question that appear in the exam do not have any set pattern. CAT has changed its pattern literally every year in one respect or the other. While in 2006 it was 75 questions with easy quant and DI sections, 2007 saw 75 questions with tough quant and easier DI section. English has always been tough; actually it won’t be wrong to say that English is more of a lottery than a paper. You attempt more and hope to get at least half of them correct and you will be through.

Scores of CAT are declared with two respects, first is the normal scoring while the other parameter is percentile. A percentile is score that determines how many students that have appeared for the examination have scored lesser than you. It is a special feeling scoring 100percentile in the CAT among 250 thousand other aspirants. So if you feel like appearing for CAT keep in mind one thing CAT is unpredictable.

When we first started blogging, 5 months back, we never thought of making money out of it. It was a passion and passion indeed which brought this blog to this stage where we can guide our readers to differentiate between good and great. Until now we were mostly raising important current issues with a bit of added humor but now, we feel its time to move on.
We were looking at ways to monetize this blog and guess what, we have found one. One of our friends introduced us to this wonderful opportunity. We have signed up at payperpost and we would be writing sponsored articles from now on.Payperpost is the most renowned medium that connects bloggers with the advertisers.It has literally redefined blog marketing. What we like about payperpost is that, it has provided thousands of bloggers with opportunity to generate some extra revenue from their blogs. This would be a new start for us. The extra money generated from this would be poured into maintaining all three of our blogs and further improving their quality. Hope we make this start into a successful career.

So much awaited PR update is over, and with it starts another two to three month wait for the next one. It is like a test for most of the bloggers, and no matter how fine the blogger has done in phase between the two updates, he is never sure of the results and that’s what makes it cunningly exciting. Some bloggers are happy with the update, some are satisfied and some of them can be found giving Google tips on how to go about a PR update. These are the bloggers whose sites have been degraded in the PR update.
For us, it was nothing less than a opportunity to party. As you all know, we own three different sites, a general blog apart from this one and a web directory. These sites were having PR 3, 2 and 1 since the last update. We had it in mind to experiment with the whole PR thing, so we decided to implement two different strategies, one for each site. We went for quality, in content, link for wlug, and we stayed away from tons of worthless links from sites of different niche. On the other hand we tried out quantity for rocking future, developing lots of links even from sites which had nothing on them. This yielded us over 1000 back links and some confidence going into this PR update.
Well the results were out today and we are pretty happy about how things have gone. We have achieved PR 4 for wlug and PR3 for rocking future while we have got our web directory to a decent PR3. Soon we would be taking some dollars for link submission in the directory.
Well it’s time to analyze our strategies and to form new ones for the next update. It’s easier to go from PR 1 to PR3, at least easier than upgrading from PR 3 to PR 4. But time and money spent in obtaining quality links is quite large while you hardly have to spend any time in the quantity link. You can get thousands of them for hardly 30 odd dollars. Now let’s cut it short. After long analysis we have come to the solution that while on one hand we would continue to look for quality, in content, links we would also try links in quantity for both of our sites and hope we would go a step higher in the next update.

We are in 21st century and seeing the rate at which technology has developed in the recent years it seems that it won’t be long before machines start replacing us humans at every step of life, somewhat similar to what was shown in Terminator movie:The rise of Machines. Human would make machine so powerful that they would be capable of thinking for themselves and then later machines would take over human race as some dictator would do.
We would then find ourselves in the same position as we were 2000 years back hunting animals and eating grasses, sacred of big animals for our life. However the difference this time would be that we will be scared of machines and not animals. We would be absolutely helpless and won’t be able to do anything because when this time comes we would actually be so dependent on machines that we would find waking up as hard as job as breaking a rock.
To avoid such a situation I think humans should focus more on machines that could be run purely on mechanical power and not require any electrical power as it is highly unlikely that a machine with absolute functionality as mechanical power would be able to hurt any of humans

Come on, how illogical it sounds, fortune favors the brave. Why would a brave person need the helping hand of fortune to carry him through? He is brave enough to create a path for himself and go ahead. What should actually happen is that fortune should favor the coward. A coward is a coward and therefore needs the help of fortune to survive, let alone pass anything.
Why not try this formula on a story that just came to my mind. There were two friends, one brave and obviously other one coward. One fine day they decide to go to city from their village to buy some food items. They take their car with them, and since they have to pass through jungle and it can get dangerous so they carry their guns with them as well. On their way to city they had to go to answer nature’s call so they both get off and lighten themselves at some distance from the car. When they are done with it and return to car they see two lions guarding the doors of the car. They take their guns out and aim at the lions. The coward by nature is really afraid and can’t unlock the trigger of the gun while brave person does everything right and is ready to fire.
Ok so this was the story. Since we do not endorse killing of either humans or animals we won’t continue the story any further. Now it’s upon you to decide who should fortune favor, the brave or the coward. A brave person behaves well in crunch or deciding moments and doesn’t need backing of fortune while cowards are famous to panic in these situations and end up on the losing side and therefore fortune should favor the coward.
That’s my point of view feel free to share yours

I know most of you envy watching Rossi and Stoner race at speeds of over 250 kmph. Race is full of thrill and excitement and is a pure adrenalin rush for both the racer and the fan that is attending the race at the track side as a spectator. These races are take place at purpose built tracks which allows racers to achieve speeds as high as 320 kmph on tracks like Monza.

But have you ever thought about a bike race at the speed of 10 kmph. No its not a race in which the person who comes last wins. It is bike racing on loose sand and loose gravel. I and my friends do it on alternate weekends. The place where this race takes place is about 65 km from our town. We are a group of 8 people and we drive our bikes to the place. None of the bikes have been modified so that no one gets any kind of advantage. We race 2 laps of 200 m each on the track and the winner takes home 200$ as the prize money. This money is purely contributed by us.

We do this for excitement and believe me it is in no way less than excitement gained by racing at higher speeds. The excitement levels are highest at the start and finish line. We have to accelerate very carefully so that we get linear motion out of our tires and not only rotational motion. Most of us dig big holes before moving an inch. In the middle part of race, it gets really hard to control the bike as it begins to move at its own will, rarely in the direction the rider wants it to go. It is great fun to drive a bike like this. It requires some skill and bit of luck to win a race on loose soil. I have won 2 races till now and I hope this weekend I can add another victory to this tally.

Standing at 7 feet 3 inches tall, he is the largest active athlete in the world. We here take opportunity to have our say on the man that most of us wouldn’t want as our enemy. He is WWE wrestler The Great Khali and is more than 7 feet tall and weighs over 420 pounds.
He belongs to India. He used to work for Punjab police when the then commissioner of police spotted his talent and guided him towards body building world. He already had tremendous height and with his hard work he developed a figure that would impress everybody. It was this figure that brought him the crown of Mr. India.
Now life has moved on and so has Great Khali. He is a former WWE champion and has been in t=his field of wrestling and body building for over 15 years now. When you compare his mammoth career with that’s of our blog only one phrase comes to mind. A person too big, a blog too small.
The great Khali has defeated nearly everybody that has faced him in the WWE including Undertaker, Batista, Kane, John Cena, Rey Mysterio and many more. At backlash, 27th April he faces yet another challenge, probably the biggest of his career, the Big Show. Big Show is just a bit short on height but 50 pounds heavier on weight. In this makes this contest so much more interesting. Well looking back at the history of WWE at crunch matches like when crowd’s sentiment are equally attached(Great Khali will be visiting India after Backlash) with both the wrestlers they try to find a middle way and most of the times these matches end either in disqualification or no result. Let’s hope that the match is decided on merit.

It is probably the most important criterion by which different search engines judge the relevance of a site. These engines assume that if a particular site is having a relevant and quality content, the larger number of sites would link to you. You might be thinking that a large number of dummy sites linking to your site would help increase you rankings. Not any longer, my dear. Search engines, unfortunately are not fools and they have caught up his method used by different sites which is known as link farming. While this procedure might not help in increasing rankings but it is definitely going to boost your chances of attracting penalty if search engines detect that you are using link farms to your benefit.
Then what do search engines actually count. Search engines usually count, in content links. Not only this, they are very strict about the words that surround the links. Let us understand this by an example, say you are running a jokes forum and you are linked to from a health blog, a simple link would carry less weight age than if your jokes forum was mentioned somewhere in the blog post. Also the anchor text has role to play in determining the value of the link. For example, have a look at this forum will have far less weight than, check out john’s jokes forum.
It is obvious that you can’t determine what other bloggers write about you and how do they link to you but for sure some home work regarding this can be done. Go to Google and search link:yourdomain.com/org/net or applicable extension. This will give the number and the list of people that are linking to your site. Now you can politely contact each of them to edit the anchor text as per your requirement.
Hope this little tip helps you achieve higher search engine rankings.

Cricket these days is getting shorter and shorter just like modern dresses. We started with 6 day test matches, moved on to 5 day test matches, then on to 50over cricket and now we stand at 20-20 matches.  Going by this if we were asked to guess the type of cricket that would be played 15 years from now we would say probably the match would end at toss itself. The captain who wins the toss will be declared the winner of the match and the cricket would be called as toss-toss or zero-zero cricket. This would also ensure that cricket makes it to Olympics and other major events. Also it would ensure that every team has equal opportunity to win.
But that’s probably way ahead in future. In present we are observing huge changes in the acceptance of results. We have already seen people hitting team mates with cricket bat and we are seeing people slapping there national team pals. Whatever is happening is purely ridiculous, unprofessional and needs to be sorted out pretty quickly. Not only this the hype that media builds around tournaments like IPL has to taken under some constraints.
Yes there is always some friction between players I matches and only increases with the pressure of performance. The pressure is greater still when you have been hit out of national team’s captaincy and you get a chance to prove yourself as one. Above all one has to understand that if a dead cricket field can have boundaries why peoples that are indulged in the game can’t have boundaries for their personal behavior.

Got a new stand for my laptop. It is just a bit tilted and has fans in it to throw hot air. Previously the laptop was on parallel surface and as such there I thought it wasn’t good enough to meet the cooling needs that a laptop requires or deserves. Come on every thing in laptop is so closely packed that there is hardly a part in lappi that doesn’t cry for optimum temperature.  You can’t have an ac every where and I don’t have it at my home. So the stand was necessary and I bought it cost me $ 9 so it wasn’t heavy on pocket as well.
I think it was a wise decision on my part in order to increase the life of my laptop. I would suggest all my readers to go for this stand because laptops are normally made to things that they are really not supposed to and as a result the get over heated . They should get some relief as well. They are not supposed to work for the durations that humans work for. at least I don’t think so .
So try and give your laptop a new life or at least think about it .
