Evolution will come....very soon.....

Where does it come from, this quest? This need to solve life's mysteries, when the simplest of questions can never be answered. Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we'd be better off not looking at all. Not delving, not yearning. That's not human nature. Not the human heart. That is not why we are here.

The Human Genome Project has discovered that tiny variations in man's genetic code are taking place at increasingly rapid rates. Teleportation, levitation, tissue regeneration. Is this outside the realm of possibility? Or is man entering a new gateway to evolution? Is he finally standing at the threshold to true human potential?
The following source from wiki explains how this can be a possibility:

The Human Genome Project was started in 1990 as a joint effort between the United States (the Department of Energy and the National Institute of Health) and researchers in China, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom, at an estimated cost of (US) $3 billion. A "rough draft" of the human genome was made public in the year 2000, followed by a announcement of a nearly complete sequencing of all human genes in 2003. In May 2006, researchers announced that they had fully sequenced all genes in Chromosome 1 (the largest human chromosome).

Current technology limits the ability to decode many parts of the human genome, including the centromeres (repetative centers of the chromosomes), the telomeres (tips of the chromosomes, believed to be controls of cell aging), and some dense areas that appear to produce immunity defenses to disease. It is estimated that 92% of the human genome has been sequenced to date.

One interesting discovery was that as much as 98% of the DNA sequence found in the human chromosomes are not involved in protein encoding — these sequences are often referred to as "junk DNA". While their true functions are unknown, the "junk DNA" may still serve important roles: as mounting points for the protein-producing RNA, as radiation shielding for the more critical genes, or as sites of new evolving genes.

Back from Hibernation.......



Hi friends,
After 5 months of time after my last post, I start posting on my blog again beginning today.........this one, gives you the specs of Kingston DDR3 RAM..
Source: Techtree
Kingston Technology recently announced shipping HyperX 1375MHz and ValueRAM 1066MHz double-data-rate three synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3 SDRAM) modules.

Hailed as successor to existing DDR2 memory, DDR3 promises significant performance gains at lower voltage levels (HyperX 1.7v versus 1.8v with DDR2 and ValueRAM 1.5v versus 1.8v with DDR2), resulting in lower power consumption.
Kingston also announced shipping ValueRAM 1333MHz DDR3 modules to coincide with the X38 motherboards to be launched later this year.

Rajesh Panicker, country manager (India) of Kingston Technology, said,
"Kingston has been working closely with Asus, Gigabyte, and other top motherboard manufacturers in our HyperX DDR3 testing process. We successfully screened and yielded production quantities of DDR3 memory at 1,375MHz, giving technology early adopters and gamers the opportunity to test-drive the newest motherboards at some of the highest performance levels available."

The DDR3 modules are shipping in 512MB and 1GB capacities, and in 1GB and 2GB memory kits.

Depending on the sizes, HyperX 1375MHz DDR3 memory modules are available for prices ranging from Rs 8,380 to Rs 30,370. ValueRAM 1066MHz DDR3 memory modules are prices between Rs 7,160 and Rs 26,200. Whereas ValueRAM 1333MHz DDR3 memory modules come for anything between Rs 10,365 and Rs 38,925.



According to me, one can only dream to have RAM of that type in his system in the age of DDR2 :|. But for those who are tech-crazy can still burn a hole in their pockets to get their hands on this one :D
