The first two locations for APPLE STORE were Tysons Corner, Virginia and Glendale Galleria [I live in Glendale :-) ]. The Virginia location opened 3 hours before the Glendale store due to the time zone difference, but the Glendale location is numbered "Store 001" by Apple. May 19th, 2011 was the tenth Anniversary of the first opened stores.

Earth Hour
I was looking for something over the net and typed "google.com" and I found the whole web page in black background!!! (click on the bottom image for bigger view) on Mar 29 8.31pm. On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., millions of people around the world made a statement about climate change by turning off their lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund. I have also provided a link below for more information.

Choice...
This simple word changes our everyday life whenever we make use of it.
Many of us struggle to get pass through in life while making choices. The "successful" finds the right one even in the midst of greatest complexity.
There is even a saying :
"Choices You Make, But Not The Chances You Take, Determines Your Destiny".
Life is like a car ... you need to drive it ... you can't let some one else drive it. That person to the maximum can be your navigator...
Will add more... Start Making Right Choices ... :-)

nBa iN tHe wRoNg ???
When Phoenix's Boris Diaw leaped off the bench after teammate Steve Nash was hip-checked to the floor in the waning seconds of Game 4 on Monday night, he was more likely to be delivering croissants than seeking retribution against San Antonio's Robert Horry, the player who committed the foul on Nash.
NBA rule's intention is to prevent an already bad situation from escalating.
The rules state that in the event of an on-court incident, "all players not participating in the game must remain in the immediate vicinity of their bench. Violators will be suspended, without pay, for a minimum of one game and fined $35,000." The rule was instituted after a bench-clearing brawl between the New York Knicks and the Chicago Bulls in the 1994 playoffs and cemented during the NBA's darkest hour, the 2004 brawl in the Palace of Auburn Hills in which Indiana Pacers players went into the stands.
This situation in San Antonio, however, wasn't even close to that one. Nor was it close to what happened even in the Denver Nuggets-New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden last December, when a few players came off the bench after a small fracas started under the basket. Every rule must be enforced with common sense, and this is one that called for a dose of that from the league office.
Here's the sequence of events: Horry hip-checks Nash almost directly in front of the Phoenix bench. Nash could've been seriously hurt. Stoudemire and Diaw rise in protest. They don't come near Horry. They don't cock a fist. Diaw, a confirmed pacifist, takes a few steps and then seems to think, "Ah, hell with it," and retreats. There was no threat of escalation, no exchange of physicality at all, except for the Suns' Raja Bell shoving Horry, an act that drew a technical foul. A careful review of the tape -- and I have no doubt that the NBA reviewed it countless times -- reveals that there was no threat of this thing turning into a donnybrook.
The NBA deserves much credit for going to great lengths to reduce the violence in its game. But rules with no wriggle room, rules with no gray area at all, do not serve the game.
The net result of this incident is that Horry commits a dirty play and the Suns are the team most severely penalized, having to play Game 5 without their leading scorer in Stoudemire and a top reserve in Diaw.
Is it fair??? or is it just a matter of correctness??? says Stu Jackson.

Microsoft Live Maps gets close up
It looks like Microsoft has gone and added 3.8 terabytes worth of image data to its Google Maps-like Live Maps system. It's a bit creepy exactly how close up you can get with some locations.
Above are screenshots of Independence Hall in Philadelphia. In both cases, we zoomed in as far as we could using Microsoft Live Maps or Google Maps. Not only is the aerial imagery zoomed in a bit tighter with Microsoft Live Maps, but the picture is a lot sharper. Google Maps still seems to load a bit smoother as you scroll throughout the map. But the upgrade makes Live Maps a bit more fun to play around with.
And of course, since the picture is at an angle, it's much easier to identify landmarks, which is one of the only real practical uses of an aerial view when you're looking for directions.

Men's Restroom [Funny - Rated(G)]
I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the
other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?"
I'm not the type to start a conversation in the men's
restroom but I don't know what got into me, so I answered,
somewhat embarrassed, "Doin' just fine!"
And the other guy says: "So what are you up to?"
What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking
this is too bizarre so I say: "Uhhh, I'm like you, just
traveling!"
At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can
when I hear another question. "Can I come over?"
Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I
could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell him,
"No........I' m a little busy right now!!!"
Then I hear the guy say nervously...
"Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in
the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!!! "
