Recently, Pashupati Dhakal et. al. has created a group in facebook.
If you have facebook account and you are a nepali physics student, Please join the group.
Please visit the group by clicking the link below or Please copy and paste the following address in your browser:

Now we have Three genuine groups:

(apologies, if I missed any)
Great!!!

A Robot Conductor in Stage!
I know, it is all about pre-programmed robot in the video below.
But we all go into training to get ourselves into some familiar sequence of nice notes. That is also a kind of programming. I found a video in which the robot Asimo directing people as a conductor in a nice stage program.
Many people may find trouble to work under robot.
Oh, actually you can find humans working as robots whenever you call to the 1-800 numbers which are usually equipped with real people trained to behave as robot.
The debate on whether robots are going to outsmart people will continue.
Enjoy the video.

My Comments on EC Pricing system
EC system is good, because it makes you to explore.
At least, it made me to explore. By exploring, I have come across with too many "good" blogs. Now I can tell at least a dozen of nice sites/blogs, which I had never come across under other system of exploration. The other systems such as BlogRush and GoodBlogs simply lagged (?) because there was no such motivation for bloggers.
I should thank 'em for that.
Everything was alright , if not perfect , suddenly there came the "new law". Which is based upon 2^X law.
Well, there are good side and bad side. (see the links at the end)
I think the pricing should depend on factors such as: number of drops received/unique visitors, ads in que... and one more important factor may be PR or popularity index.
We should always be thinking of new blogs or new members of ec community. Because Blogging is also about community. There should be fair chances for them so that they can still receive enough attention.
Under the news system, since the price jumps up immediately.
No one will be willing to spending a lot of hard earned ec credits on some-where with only few visitor per day.
Simply put : 2^X is not a better idea!
Think of some idea by which new/hobby bloggers (like me) do not get crushed and yet the spam sites get punished!
Let's try to be more creative. Make up new formula which grows very slowly (like x^2) in the beginning, and becomes exponential at some point and then becomes linear.
I do love the no-cap feature.
Thanks for reading!
