I wanted to post about this Intruder some time back when I saw it in one of the show room in Bangalore, but I wanted to wait a while, and now its high time I let you all know about this mean machine, also known as the Boulevard in the market. It’s called the Suzuki Intruder M1800R, a half cruiser-half sports bike that’s more powerful than the Ford Ikon.

suzuki Intruder

Recently some celebrity got one in Bangalore, he coughed up Rs 15 lakh for the 1783 cc bike, the first in the city and the only one so far. This baby eats up Hayabusa (though its my favorite)

Suzuki launched the much sought-after cruiser last year, along with the Hayabusa.
With GSX-R sports bike technology, the 319-kg bike can speed up to 240 kmph (mind blowing). With tyres as thick as a jeep’s, the bike is equipped with a V-twin engine that promises better performance.

The bike can do 0-100 kph in 3.8 seconds while the Lamborghini Diablo, a high-performance sports car, does it in 4.9 seconds.
It has 160Nm of mammoth torque while others like the Hero Honda Karizma, a 223cc bike, has 18.4 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm.
With about 20 litres in the fuel tank, the machine runs on Octane petrol and has a mileage of 10 km per litre.
(thats one thing am proud of my bike )

Thinking all about this I started to miss my bike, anyways here is a comparison with it :

Facebook on question of ownership of data

Here is something which most of the Facebook users are unaware of, while they upload loads of their personal information and photographs, As per the Terms of Use (facebook.com/terms.php) that was noted on 17/feb/2009, “You hereby grant Facebook an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream, store, retain, publicly perform or display, transmit, scan, reformat, modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute (through multiple tiers), any User Content you (i) Post on or in connection with the Facebook Service…” In other words, put anything on Facebook and it belongs to them. They can do with this information what they please without consulting you.

Such cases surface one important query – “Who owns your information?” You, the creator, or the service provider who helps you to publish it? Common sense says that you own the information after all, the government can’t claim that it owns your bike because the said bike runs on fuel provided by the government and on roads laid by the government, right?

Legal angle

The New York Times, while discussing this issue, quoted Greg Lastowka, an associate professor at the Rutgers School of Law as stating that “Most Web sites today offer terms of service that are designed to protect and further the interests of the company writing the terms, and most people simply agree to terms without reading them.” In many ways, this is a crying shame most of us are at best people who want to keep in touch with our friends and relatives with the aid of technology. Chances are high that we have no way of understanding the legal language that is crafted for companies like Facebook by their lawyers.

It is high time that governments around the world put an end to such nonsense. What we need is a law that governs the Internet, one that is propagated by various countries and managed by a global entity like the UN, which will address these issues. It should be clear that, on a social networking site, information should be owned by the creator and not by anybody else.

Let’s just hope that Facebook understands that it needs to address user concerns carefully if it wants to retain them.

The Aero Show India 2009 was a spectacular even held of that genre in India, not to mention there was no major accident during the show and the response of the show was really great. Banglore was having all its crowd out for the day as people were visiting Aero show in the morning and it was ‘Iron Maiden’ concert in the evening,  15-Feb marked B’lore as the place to be.

The week long Aero India had dedicated air shows too which displayed the varying flight capabilities of the military power of the distinctive air forces. The major part of the show was the open house of major flight companies which invited 200 majors around the world displaying their best.

My personal favourite was Lockhead Martin’s F16. There were loads of fighters, Sukhoi, MiG, F35, Griphen, and lot more. The air show was mind blowing as this was the first time I saw a F16 fly just 200 ft above my head in Mach2, the show was exciting. Unfortunately F16 also had a flat tyre while making its landing, but the pilot managed to taxi it safely.

I should really mention the show stopper an eagle which was also displaying its flight capability over the runway, everyone applauded for the eagle then it was made to scatter by the gun shots.

For those who missed the air show stay tuned for Aero India 2011.

HER DIARY
——————
Day night, I thought he was acting
weird. We had made plans to meet at a
cafe to have some coffee. I was shopping with my friends all day long,
soI thought he was upset at the fact that I was  a bit late, but he made
no  comment.Conversation wasn’t flowing so

I suggested that  we go somewhere quiet so we could talk, he agreed but

he kept quiet and absent. I  asked
him what was wrong – he said,

“Nothing.”I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it
had nothing to do with me and not to worry.

On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept
driving. I can’t explain his behavior; I don’t know why he didn’t say,
“I love u,too.”When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he
wanted nothing to do with me anymore.

He just sat there and watched TV.; he seemed distant and absent.Finally
I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed. I decided
that I could not  take it anymore,
so I decided to confront him with the situation but he had fallen
asleep.

I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep. I  don’t know what
to do. I’m almost sure that his thoughtsare with someone else.
My life is a disaster.
