Mumbai boy chips in to power Intel

In the next five to 10 years, when your desktop PC, your laptop or your mobile devices will turn into supercomputing workstations, you will have Mumbai-born tech whiz Nitin Borkar and his Intel teams at Oregon, USA and Bangalore to thank. On Tuesday, Borkar, engineering manager at Intel’s Microprocessor Technology Labs, unveiled the world’s fastest, most energy-efficient microprocessor — an 80-core chip the size of fingernail that can perform trillions of operations per second.

“Our research team has kept Moore’s Law alive,” Borkar said during an exclusive interview with DNA. Moore’s Law, postulated by Intel’s co-founder Gordon Moore,
essentially says that microprocessors will double in capacity and halve in price every 18 months. Ever since the “law” was put forward, technologists across the world have feared one thing: what if the space runs out on a microprocessor? Leaps in computing technology by Intel and rival AMD such as the dual core and quad core processors were considered significant, but neither comes close to the Teraflop Research Processor

Girl facts ..

Ack :- Saurabh Rawane

When a girl bumps into your arm
while walking she wants you to hold her hand

When she wants a hug
she will just stand there

When u break a girls heart,
she still feels it when u run into each other 3 years later

When a girl is quiet,
millions of things are running through her mind.

When a girl is not arguing,
she is thinking deeply.

When a girl looks at you with eyes full of questions,
she is wondering how long you will be around.

When a girl answers, “I’m fine, ” after a few seconds,
she is not at all fine.

When a girl stares at you,
she is wondering why you are so wonderful.

When a girl lays her head on your chest,
she is wishing for you to be hers forever.

When a girl says that she can’t live without you,
she has made up her mind that you are her future.

When a girl says, “I miss you, ”
no one in this world can miss you more than that

When a girl is mean to you after a breakup
she wants you back, but she’s scared she’ll get hurt and knows you’re gone forever

આશાઓ પર પાણી ફરી જતાં વાર નથી લાગતી
કિનારે આવી ડૂબી જતાં વાર નથી લાગતી

જીતનો જલસો માનવાની ઉતાવળ ન કર
જીતેલી બાજી હારી જવામાં વાર નથી લાગતી

તારી ઊંચાઇનું નાહક અભિમાન ન કર
કે મિનારોને તૂટી જવામાં વાર નથી લાગતી

બાંધ્યો છે માળો તો જરા દિલથી જતન કર
કે માળાને પીંખાઇ જતાં વાર નથી લાગતી

માણી લે હર એક પળ તું આજે
આંખોને મિંચાઇ જતાં વાર નથી લાગતી
