CNN confirms 6 million + Linkedin Passwords stolen
http://money.cnn.com/2012/06/06/technology/linkedin-password-hack/?source=linkedin 

With the outbreak of this news all of us are worried if we are one of the 6.5 million victims whose linkedin passwords have been stolen aren’t we? 

Well, for people like us there is LastPass – a password management platform providing a free service that would let us check and know if our password was stolen. Here’s what we need to do:

Just click the link: https://lastpass.com/linkedin/

And enter your password and check if it you were a victim or not, you will be shown a result something like this:

If you have already changed your password great you can still check with your old password as this site checks with the leaked passwords.

Since this is coming from a password management firm, we believe this to be secure.

If you have not changed the password yet, it would be a good idea to change it even if it is not compromised by clicking here: www.linkedin.com/passwordReset

If you are using the same password for other sites (gmail, yahoo, facebook etc), then make sure you change all of them, since there is a definite possibility that hackers would try to use this password to hack into other accounts.

Remember : Passwords are like underwear – do not show them in public, the longer the better, do not share with others and keep changing often!!

Google's cool surprise this winter - let it snow

Just type 'let it snow' in the search box and wait few seconds to see it. For the techie's it's not a big deal to be able to do this, but it's a nice surprise to experience. It also provides an option to defrost- neat. Google continues to surprise us with these nice little Easter eggs, even in the Christmas season. Thanks google, keep going

Who this Kolaveri Di?

I just thought what would be the fate of this soup song if it were born in someone else's head:

If Himesh composed and sang:
The lyrics would be very less, only first few lines repeated 59 times in 4 mins.
There would be 7 versions of the song, remix, reprise (i dont know what this is), female, sad (?), the HR mix, and whatever-sounds-like-a-song version......

Anu Malik: Would make Atif Aslam sing in Sufi style... and copy it for the next album.

RGV: Video would start with shadows, and after 2 minutes the audio would start, shot in the beach and released in 3 languages and called the bhoot song.

Javed Akthar: It would have sounded different....leave it, we would not understand it anyway.

AR Rahman: Hmmm..it would have been rejected by Subhash Ghai, released for some Hollywood Harry Potter movie called the 'magical soup song' and would have won an oscar.

Karan Johar: A duet with Shahrukh Khan and himself and called 'KSouper boys song'

Last but not the least if sung by RAJNIKANTH:
The song would be the national anthem of India and Japan!!!

A part of life

A famous music director - Shantanu Moitra writes about the God of music, who is a part and parcel of a million peoples' life.

 

Switching on the small tape recorder in my bachelors room with Roja’s Cassette was the first activity of every morning for 2 years.

 

Day would start with Yeh hasi wadiyaan, the sound still refreshes my mind and heart… as it does the millions of people and ends with Chanda Re Chanda re.

 

I used to wonder how can a human have such an impact consistently and that is when I realized it was ARR.
