Bill Gates will leave Microsoft

His reason: to focus on running the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundaton.

He said: “I believe with great wealth comes great responsibility – the
responsibility to give back to society and make sure those resources
are given back in the best possible way, to those in need.”

Sounds great.

Anti-aging molecule discovered!

If this discovery will be technically viable what will its effect on the population?

A team of South Korean scientists on Sunday
claimed to have created a “cellular fountain of youth,’’ or a small
molecule, which enables human cells to avoid aging and dying. The team, headed by Prof. Kim Tae-kook at the
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, argued the
newly-synthesized molecule, named CGK733, can even make cells younger.

Magandang kwento . . . totoo at tumatalab . .

Isang
bagong-saltang kaluluwa ang umakyat sa langit ang ngayon ay nakaharap kay San
Pedro. Namasyal silang dalawa sa langit. Magkahawak-kamay silang
naglakad-lakad sa isang malaking silid doon na puno ng mga
anghel.

Huminto si
San Pedro sa harap ng isang lupon ng mga anghel at nagsalita, “Ito ang
silid-tanggapan. Sa silid na ito, tinatanggap lahat ng mga kahilingan sa
panalangin.”

Pinagmasdan ito ng kaluluwa, at nakita nitong abala ang
lahat sa pag-uugnay-ugnay ng mga kahilingan na nakasulat sa bunton ng mga
papel na galing sa buong mundo.

Nagpatuloy silang maglakad hanggang
madaanan nila ang pangalawang lupon ng mga anghel. Ang wika ni San Pedro sa
kaluluwa, “Ito naman ang ‘Packaging at Delivery Section’. Dito, ang biyaya at
mga pagpapala na hiniling ng mga tao ay binabalot at dini-deliver sa mga tao
na humingi noon.”

Nakitang
muli ng kaluluwa kung gaano ito kaabala. Maraming anghel doon ang talagang
subsob sa trabaho sa dami ng mga pagpapalang hiniling at dini-deliver
araw-araw sa lupa.

Hanggang sa dumako sila sa huling lupon, sa
pinakamalayong lupon.  Huminto ang anghel doon sa isang maliit na lupon.
Sa kanyang pagkamangha, iisang anghel lamang ang nakaupo doon, walang
ginagawa.

“Ito ang
‘Acknowledgement Section,” sabi ni San Pedro.

“Bakit tahimik?
 Wala ba silang ginagawa rito?”

“Nakakalungkot,” sagot ni San
Pedro,”pagkatapos makatanggap ng sagot sa kanilang mga panalangin ang mga tao,
kakaunti ang nagbibigay ng pasasalamat.”

“Papaano ba magbibigay ng
‘acknowledgement’ ang mga tao sa Diyos?”

“Simple
lang.  Sabihin mo lang na “Salamat po Panginoon.”

“Ano bang
pagpapala ang dapat nilang ipagpasalamat?”

“Kung may pagkain ka sa
iyong hapag-kainan, damit na sinusuot, may bahay na tinutuluyan at kamang
tutulugan, ikaw ay mas mayaman sa 75% sa mundong
ito.

“Kung may
salapi kang naiipon sa iyong pitaka at may natitira pang pambili ng pagkain,
ikaw ay isa sa 8% na may mga kabuhayan sa mundo.

“Kapag nakuha mo ang
mensaheng ito sa iyong computer, bahagi ka ng 1% sa mundong ito na may ganyang
oportunidad.

“Kapag gumising ka sa umagang ito na walang sakit, mas
pinagpala ka sa milyong tao sa mundong ito na hindi na makagising dahil sa
hirap ng buhay.

“Kung di
mo nararanasan ang takot sa gitna ng giyera, ang kalungkutan sa loob ng
piitan, ang pasakit ng mga pagsubok, at ang pangil ng pagkagutom, mas malayo
ka nang milya-milya sa 700 milyong tao na nabubuhay sa mundo.

“Kung
buhay pa ang iyong mga magulang at nananatiling magkasama sa bisa ng kasal,
kakaunti lang kayo.

“Kung naititingala mo pa ang iyong ulo nang may
ngiti sa iyong mga labi, hindi ka kasama sa karamihan.  Naiiba ka kaysa
sa kanila na puno ng kapighatian at mga kagulumihanan.”

Tanong ng
kaluluwa, “Kung gano’n, papaano ako magsisimulang magpasalamat?”

“Kung
nababasa mo ang mensaheng ito, nakatanggap ka na naman ng dobleng pagpapala,
dahil may isang nagpadala sa iyo na iniisip na espesyal kang nilalang, at mas
pinagpala ka kaysa sa dalawang bilyong mga tao sa buong mundo na hindi
marunong magbasa . . .

“Pagpalain
ang araw mo, bilangin mo ang iyong mga pagpapala, at kung ibig mo, pagpalain
mo rin ang mga tao sa iyong paligid upang malaman din nila kung gaano sila
pinagpala ng Panginoon.

ATTN: Acknowledgement Department: “Salamat po, Panginoon.  Salamat po sa
pagbibigay mo sa akin ng abilidad na ibahagi ang mensaheng ito at sa
pagbibigay mo sa akin ng mabubuti at magagandang tao na babahaginan
nito!

Data Mining on the Internet with Google

i came across a site on Data Mining on the Internet with Google.

The Differences Between Men and Women

If
Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose go out for lunch, they will call each
other Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose. If
Mike, Charlie, Bob and John go out, they will affectionately refer to
each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Scrappy.

When
the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie, Bob and John will each throw in $20,
even though it’s only for $32.50. None of them will have anything
smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY:

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item
that she doesn’t need but it’s on sale.

BATHROOMS:

A
man has six items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor,
a bar of soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn.

The
average number of items in the typical woman’s bathroom is 337. A man
would not be able to identify most of these items.

ARGUMENTS:

A woman has the last word in any argument.

CATS:

Women love cats.

Men say they love cats, but when women aren’t looking, men kick cats.

FUTURE:

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a
wife.

SUCCESS:

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

MARRIAGE:

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change and she does.

DRESSING UP:

A
woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the
garbage, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL:

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

Ah,
children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist
appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears
and hopes and dreams.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Any married man should forget his mistakes.

There’s no use in two people remembering the same
thing.

How to Stay Married

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had
shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no

secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box
in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to
open or ask her about..

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day
the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not
recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took

down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside.

She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box.
When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of   money

totaling $95,000.

He asked her about the contents. “When we were to be married,” she
said, “my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to

just keep quiet and crochet a doll.”

The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two

precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two
times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with
happiness. “Honey,” he said, “that explains the doll, but what about

all of this money? Where did it come from?”

“Oh,” she said, “that’s the money I made from selling the dolls.”

Online office softwares

I just tries the online gOFFICE spreadhseet. Although it is not as sophisticated as OpenOffice or MS Office its useful.

There is a news that Google in partnership with Sun will soon offer a free online spreadsheet. I hope will be made available soon.

How to Win “Pera of Bayong”

I came across a mathematical problem called “Monty Hall Problem”.

The problem says that your chance of winning in Pera o Bayong will increase dramatically if Vic Sotto will give you a cahnce to change your choice after he opened the other eight boxes. In this situation your chance of winning will increase form 10% to 85.7%.
