Chat Language for Dummies - by a dummy

Category: , By bloodhound94
You dont know how desperate the grown-ups of our modern world are to learn the lingo we, that is to say - teenagers, use. They do not realize their position, the current situation! The average Indian parent doesn't know half the things his/her boy does at school. At home, he does his homework and does his chores and plays the good boy role, at school he's a different person. It's not totally bad, the boy isn't an evil criminal, ofcourse it's all a part of growing up and I dont blame the parents for wanting to keep a close watch. Which brings us to social networking websites. Stalking the boy on Facebook. Some parents join with a different purpose - trying to become younger. Dont believe me? Check this out for solid proof: http://myparentsjoinedfacebook.com/
See how embarrassing that is? It's best they just stick to their age group online. They want to learn the chat language, that's fine. But they don't know how awkward they're making themselves look using "LOL" and "ROFL" at the age of forty!
Last week I came across an article in The Hindu titled, How To Use The Teen Lingo.
As soon as I saw the title I was like "WTF!!" This is ridiculous!! I mean .. Come ON!!
I read the article, half-annoyed and half-disgusted. Apparently, everybody uses "LOL" to show that they're kool (apparently you're cool if you replace the "C"s with "K"s), and the only adjective we use is "bling" (Who the hell told you that? O_o), and we refer to all guys as "dudes" and girls as "babes".
The last line of the paragraph is supposed to be an example of how you talk online. Standing JOKE!! Let me recite it one more time before laughing my arse off.
Hey, isnt tat the dude fm d dance thingie we went to lst week? He snt wid that bling babe anymore. Cool no? lolzzzz!!
*Evil laugh* Dont worry, wannabe-youngsters! You are never gonna get younger! The wrinkles on your face and the fungus between yer toes will haunt you for the rest of yer life! Muhahaha! Just kidding. Ahem. That's it for now, until next time, this is Azeron signin off.
 


Waddup with Google?

Category: , , By bloodhound94
In recent years, Google has made unthinkable progress, accomplished more than any other internet megagiant has, to the extent that the word 'Google' has almost become synonymous with 'search', to the extent of the word 'Google' becoming a verb in everyday English.
Still, Google still hasn't learnt the art of privacy.

Google Maps - Google Maps is a masterpiece, truly fascinating and highly informative internet tool putting Wikimaps behind it. For one thing, Google Maps enables street views of places, making locating a restaurant as easy as clicking a button on your mouse. But here's the scary bit. Google Maps also provides aerial views of important and strategic locations, which means planning terror attacks can also be as easy as clicking a mouse button.


The White House


Gateway of India

Rashtrapati Bhavan

And sure enough, our former President, Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam expressed his concerns and requests to Google, but with no response, and ofcourse he was'nt the only one. If Google had ignored the pleas of the American government itself, what good are our protests?
Screw Google! And the street view thing could also be scary - in terms of privacy - I mean, they update these photos every month or so, with cameras fixed on top of cars. And these photos include several embarassing photos of people who do not wish to be seen in those situations. I mean, who, with a perfectly functioning cerebrellum, would want to be seen in..., and coming out of a ... and ... and so on..


Yeah this is what I mean.. Google has started its candid car in Australia and you might notice the shop behind it, the many privacy breaking photos of Google include several men going inside one of those.. Social networking websites are flooding with Google's photos of couples kissing, people going into one of those stores, an obvious and failed theft etc.
