I wasn’t really worried until this latest recall news on Toyota Prius has come out. Software problems? Brake problems? This is an eerie reality to android cars in Hollywood movies that take control of the driver and kill him/her. Stopping distance is what I am currently covering in the transportation engineering class I am teaching. […]

Dylan Ratigan was one of the very few sane reporters on CNBS. He was shown the door for reasons not disclosed. However, he came back to host a morning show, “Morning Meeting” on MSNBC about 10 months ago. Listeners of Mohana Murali GaanaLahari know that I strongly believe that President Obama only talks tough and […]
[Via – Shyam’s Column] Common sense technique coupled with out-of-the-box thinking can help slash your living expenses. Over the last few weeks, the missus and I have been trying to ‘optimize’ (euphemism for cutting) our living expenses. The reason for this sudden frugality exercise? Well, for once, the missus has agreed that continuously striving for […]
అమ్మ మీద ఎన్నో పాటలు వచ్చి వుంటాయి. ఎన్నో గొప్ప గొప్ప పాటలు, తెలుగు, తమిళం, హిందీ మరే భాష అయినా సరే. కాని, ఈ పాటలో ఎందుకో తెలీదు విపరీతమైన ఆర్ద్రత వినిపించింది నాకు. భాష అర్థం కాక పోయినా భావం అర్థం అయింది. ఇందుకోనేమో వీళ్ళని సరస్వతి వరప్రసాదులు అంటారు. ముఖ్యంగా పాటలో అతను అరిచే అరుపు గురించి చెప్పాలి. అలా అరవాలని నేను ప్రయత్నిచాను. గొంతు బొంగురు పోయింది కానీ, ఒక్క శాతం […]

The chief claim is that the numbers include public and private education. The separatists have argued that Nizam Telangana was discriminated when it came to government expenditure on public schooling. […]
The tradition of Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog, forecasting the length of the reminder of winter by looking (or not looking) at his own shadow has been a ‘tradition’ in the USA for over one hundred years. This silly tradition on February 2nd has become something to look forward to during the bitter cold days of […]
When you bought that impressive new flat-panel TV to replace your old CRT model, what did you do with the clunker? If, like many Americans, you moved it to another room and set it atop a dresser or bureau, you may have inadvertently created a death trap.
A rubber band may aid in providing enough grip to remove, or at least loosen, the screw. Place a wide band rubber band inbetween the screw driver (we recommend bumping one size up from the screw head which caused the strip) and the screw, then apply hard, but slow force as you turn. If you’re fortunate, the rubber band will fill in the gaps caused by the strip and allow extraction.
[Via – ConsumerReports] High on the list of consumer annoyances these days, according to a recent poll of ours, is the near-impossibility of getting a human being on the phone when you call a big company’s 800 number with a question. I was reminded of this yesterday when I had to call a mail-order pharmacy. […]
Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated on February 2. It is held in the United States and Canada. According to folklore, if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day fails to see its shadow, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter will soon end.
