Amazing Technical fact behind avatar movie

The entire rendering of the movie AVATAR takes 1 petabyte of storage space! This is the equal to
500 hard drives of 2TB (1 TB equals 1024 GB) each and also equal to a 32 year long MP3 file! PS- With millions of money spent on storage device I am not
amused why the movie budget hyped to 300 million.



Also look at some funny facts about the film.


1. lots of dough
  James Cameron originally planned to have the film completed for release in 1999. At the time, the special effects he wanted increased the budget to $400 million. No studio would fund the film, and it was shelved for almost 10 years.


2.Title error
   An early casting call for the female lead was posted, identifying the movie as James Cameron’s “Battle Angel.”


Michael Biehn
3. Casting dielemma
   James Cameron’s go-to action guy, Michael Biehn, who starred in Cameron’s “The Terminator,” “Aliens” and “The Abyss” — was considered for the role of the tough-nut Col. Miles Quaritch. Cameron ultimately had to pass because he’d already cast Sigourney Weaver (who starred opposite Biehn in “Aliens”) and he didn’t want people to think it was “Aliens” all over again. The role eventually went to Stephen Lang.


4. CGI rules
   The movie is 40 percent live action and 60 percent photo-realistic CGI. Most of the motion capture technology was used for the CGIscenes.

5. Sam's audition
   According to Sam Worthington, he was invited to the casting via a phone call. He didn’t know anything about the script, nor was he told the director’s name. Sam was initially disappointed, thinking it was “another waste of time.”


6. Show me the money
   “Avatar” is the highest-grossing film of all time, bringing in $700 million domestically. James Cameron’s previous film “Titanic” was the first film to gross $500 and $600 million domestically.

Google's Driverless car - Incredible machine

       The Google Driverless Car is a project by Google that involves developing technology for driverless cars. The project is currently being led by Google engineer Sebastian Thrun, director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and co-inventor of Google Street View

Google Gets The License for Driverless Car
The U.S. state of Nevada passed a law in June 2011 concerning the operation of driverless cars in Nevada. Google had been lobbying for driverless car laws.The Nevada law went into effect on March 1, 2012, and the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles issued the first license for a self-driven car in May 2012. The license was issued to a Toyota Prius modified with Google’s experimental driver-less technology. Source
“I felt using the infinity symbol was the best way to represent the ‘car of the future’.” Department Director Bruce Breslow said. “The unique red plate will be easily recognized by the public and law enforcement and will be used only for licensed autonomous test vehicles.”

My Engineering course

Its been a hard work for me since i joined the course of Electrical and Electronics Engineering 4 years back. But at last i am fully satisfied that i have passed it out successfully and today i am really proud to say that i am an Engineer.

According to me engineering is not tough and like the same not easy too. In order to pass a single paper of Engineering one should study that paper for at least of 3 days so that he can not only pass that paper but also have a overview knowledge of that paper. But actually the funny university has allocated 1month for a paper(6 months-6 papers). Its your wish to pick a paper out and be an expert on this.

My advice to the newly joining one of this course is to pick a paper you have the most interest and work on that particular topic and be an expert on that topic.

For me this 4 years is not only for studying and clearing those 46 papers. The extra curricular activities that i have been doing since i joined this course have been a great thing for me. It really thought me how to work in group and how well we should be prepared to be in a position to take certain decision. The activities like working for a symposium and also things like dance, theme show all helped me to mold my character to the best.

Thank you engineering for giving me a good opportunity to learn these things essential for my life.

Miss you engineering and miss that tentative second before the result is loading....


..... ooh





And more over this course gave me such lovely friends that one should hardly forget.. miss u buddies

Gujarat still going green

Gujarat to go in for tidal wave power | Go Green |

A government resolution (GR) has been issued claiming it is "possible to produce tidal wave power at two spots - in the Gulf of Kutch near Mandva, and in the Gulf of Khambhat near Hazira."

GR, significantly, says that at the two spots, respectively, 200 MW and 300 MW of "tidal wavepower can be produced". 

The Gujarat government is has already entered into a preliminary agreement with US firm Atlantis for starting a 50 MW tidal wave power project at either of the two spots, but preferably in the Gulf of Kutch", a senior official said.
