The Next Great Product

One time, he asked my brother to put his hand and let him push a 4-5 inches thick concrete wall. Are you getting Crazy People? What the... After several years, I understand what he is trying to say: The Law of Action and Reaction, Newton's Third Law. " For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. " Or simply, In every force you exert there is always a force opposite and that's equal or else when you push the wall it will break and your motion will not stop. I began blogging 10 months ago and because of that it push me to the limits that I saw the reaction of users and I created WinBubble . What I am saying? We can't understand... Me too... During the past few days , I am seeing something that should be done to this enormous data that we have. I saw a system that is not considered an A.I. (Artificial ...

"Application not found" Error Message in Vista/XP

Opening CD/USB Flash Drive: A friend of mine borrowed the flash drive to copy my program WinBubble and Youtube File Hack Tool . She brought back the USB Drive and I inserted it to my laptop (Drive D:, E:, F:, G:, H:, I:, J:, it depends on the number of drives exists). After Clicking the Drive Icon the Error Message appears: " Application Not Found " and because of that I cannot access the Drive. Usually, this kind of problem occurs in CD/DVD that has a AutoRun.inf and the executable file that is set to open is damage, corrupted or lost (unreadable) when the installer is inserted. The Solution for CD, DVD and USB is almost the same ( Read the Second Page ). [How To: Solution] Unlocking the Hidden Worm Virus in Windows SAFETY FIRST!!!

Number One Gets the Best and Number Two takes what's Left

Is this true and does it really matters? Most of the times this is true especially in big companies like Google, Microsoft and Apple. The ecology of Internet is changing day by day. People are getting smarter, shifting from television to Youtube, PC to cell phones and most of the times they don't care if what they are using the Best product, as long as they are enjoying the system and it provides a solution for their needs. Most of the companies want's to be the Best . But is it really important? If you'll create thousands of Useful tools that is not the best but provide a solution for everyone's need . That will be great! That is what I noticed. The measurement of Being the Best is based on the quantity of usefulness and the number of relevant solutions that they've solved . Google provides a solution in search that do not based on the correct answer or original answer but based on the popularity of the answer . Most of the times, this is being ma...
