Apple is the Best, in Software Insecurity..

This graph shows that Apple was in second place until 2010, when it jumped to number 1.

Most people will tell you that Apple computers have the least crashes, viruses and errors than Windows PCs. That conclusion is true, many years back. The counter by PC-lovers was that Apple supposedly had a much smaller user base, therefore less people reported errors and less virus authors targeted Macs. Mac-heads then said that it was a baseless argument. Well it turned out that it could have been true after all.

Welcome to present time, when more and more people adopted the Macs for their advertised system stability, ease of use, no viruses, etc etc etc.. And guess what. New research has been done and now look at who is the leader in all the key areas it was supposed to be strong enough for a Windows user to switch to the Mac. So if you've people coming to you and saying that Macs are the best, this is the article you would want to show them. The arguments that they will use against Windows PCs are now defunct. Just in case you don't want to read the actual article, it also says that Apple is the leader and Microsoft stands in third position. Kind of funny that Windows, with a huge user base (~70%), is actually behind Apple with a much much smaller user base (~20%).

Regardless, I would still agree that Apple products have the good looks, both hardware and software. But functionality-wise, there's really not much advantage over Windows, no matter how much better they look.

Religion Resulted From Astrology?

**This video is not easy to watch if you are weak in faith**

This video is trying to prove that most religions comes directly as a result of astrology. While it is compelling to believe it, we must also remember that there is more to Christianity than what is said here. And it is really coincidence that the stars happened to be related to religions. It only seems reasonable because the author has twisted the words to fit his hypothesis and presented in a very convincing way, totally bypassing a lot of evidence that disagrees with the notion.

"Singapore Car crash manfred!!!!"

Alright, this is just creepy.. I happened to be surfing YouTube videos to search for clips to use for a video project when I encountered this video titled, "Singapore Car crash manfred!!!!". For a quick moment, my heart just dropped. Lol. I have had a car accident way back in Dec 2008. So the first thought that came to my mind is "who recorded my accident..?" Turns out that the video is nothing in relation to my accident.. Whew.. So coincidental that another Manfred in Singapore also had a car accident. O.O

The Chicken Came First!

It's a popular debate: "Did the chicken or egg come first?"

The answer is the chicken came first, according to some British researchers from the universities of Sheffield and Warwick I do not know what motivated them to try to answer the question but apparently, they found that the egg could not have come first because the shell could only be produced by proteins found in a chicken. Therefore, the chicken must have been around first to lay the first egg, thus putting this age-old conundrum to rest.

Check out the source if you really want to read about the scientific stuff and the protein that makes the eggshell.. The Chicken Came First

The "Perfect Handshake" Formula

Ok, this is not a joke. Scientists of the University of Manchester were hired by Chevrolet as part of some PR training workshop and they came up with this formula as a guide to perform a "perfect handshake". But honestly, a handshake is just a handshake. LOL. If you have some free time, feel free to decipher the formula below. Have fun! =P


PH = (e² + ve²)(d²) + (cg + dr)² + π{(4< s >2)(4< p >2)}² + (vi + t + te)² + {(4< c >2)(4< du >2)}²

Where (e) is eye contact (1=none; 5=direct) 5; (ve) is verbal greeting (1=totally inappropriate; 5=totally appropriate) 5; (d) is Duchenne smile - smiling in eyes and mouth, plus symmetry on both sides of face, and slower offset (1=totally non-Duchenne smile (false smile); 5=totally Duchenne) 5; (cg) completeness of grip (1=very incomplete; 5=full) 5; (dr) is dryness of hand (1=damp; 5=dry) 4; (s) is strength (1= weak; 5=strong) 3; (p) is position of hand (1=back towards own body; 5=other person's bodily zone) 3; (vi) is vigour (1=too low/too high; 5=mid) 3; (t) is temperature of hands (1=too cold/too hot; 5=mid) 3; (te) is texture of hands (5=mid; 1=too rough/too smooth) 3; (c) is control (1=low; 5=high) 3; (du) is duration (1= brief; 5=long) 3.
