Who is Q’uran’s author? Allah and Anonymous battle it out on Bookreads!

Last updated on: December 17, 2012 at 4:47 pm By Desh Kapoor

Bookreads is a book lovers network site. An interesting battle has been going on there on the authorship of Q’uran. The grand battle is between the Muslims and the “Infidels”. The Muslims assert it is “Allah” as the author of Quran, while Infidels (what else would you call them) insist it is “Anonymous”. Afterall, Bible has been assigned to the same ubiquitous “Divinity” Anonymous. So it stands to reason that Q’uran would have the same source. But Muslims aren’t taking... Read more

IBM is predicting something extremely interesting. It says that in the next five years, the computers could get all the five senses and will be able to interact with humans in totally different ways! “This new generation of machines will learn, adapt, sense and begin to experience the world as it really is,” the company said in a statement. “This year’s predictions focus on one element of the new era, the ability of computers to mimic the human senses–in their...

Are we characters of a virtual game being played on a “Master Computer”?

Last updated on: December 16, 2012 at 10:00 pm By Desh Kapoor

In a rather bizarre theoretical framework, some scientists are trying to ascertain if we are some kind of computer simulation characters being driven around by a computer game being played on a very large “Master Computer” by “someone”? Scientists are conducting experiments to discover whether the universe exists within a Matrixstyle computer simulation created by super computers of the future. The experiments being conducted by University of Washington could prove that we are merely pawns in some kind of larger... Read more

Last updated on: December 16, 2012 at 5:59 pm By Desh Kapoor

This is an incredible story I came across: A wild-long tailed macaque monkey has adopted an abandoned kitten at Ubud’s Monkey Forest in Bali. The reserve has 340 monkeys in four groups living there. It is considered sacred and it is frequented by 10,000 people every month. The kitten seems to love the attention being given to her by the monkey. This macaque is so protective that he doesn’t allow other macaques to even come close to the kitten. According to the... Read more

Adam Lanza is a product of a society full of Emotional Prostitutes.

Last updated on: December 16, 2012 at 4:29 pm By Desh Kapoor

This is a very sensitive and a very brave account written by a mother with a 13 year old son (I am Adam Lanza’s mother), who is displaying behavioral patterns where he threatens to kill and harm her and himself. Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, he is brilliant and a gifted kid. At the start of seventh grade, Michael was accepted to an accelerated program for highly gifted math and science students.

Will Egypt become the next Pakistan or India?

Last updated on: December 16, 2012 at 12:24 pm By Desh Kapoor

Three weeks ago, the prime minister of India appointed Syed Asif Ibrahim as the new director of India’s Intelligence Bureau, its domestic intelligence-gathering agency. Ibrahim is a Muslim. India is a predominantly Hindu country, but it is also the world’s third-largest Muslim nation. India’s greatest security threat today comes from violent Muslim extremists. For India to appoint a Muslim to be the chief of the country’s intelligence service is a big, big deal. But it’s also part of an evolution... Read more
