Too much Oghi + coniak + Rabiz = Top #1 Rabiz

http://www.seapahn.us/misc/rainbow_med.jpg Just about an hour ago. Saw it ... ran ... grabbed the camera ... and voila.

Yah that's more Ashot's style

hahaah "kerm unes" ... totally forgot about that one For the parska-hye challenged: "kerm" (farsi) = "vort" (armenian) = "worm" (english)

Here's a typical parskahay scenario: Mi or, papis asutchiam, kartses im jane kor er galis. Verje, papes jgaynatsav u sksav indz me hat laaaaaav kotak dal. Yes, lats u shivan e vor sksam, mames shut vazelov ekav, asav: BABAM JAN ... herika jardes erexhis. Ari desnem ... vay vay ghourbned etam ... mi latsi ... vay jigared utem. Bayts es ammene enkerneris araj er, yev yes gedin e mdam.

Nice pics Azat!

Shat shnorhakal em yev shnorhavor bolorin ... vor unetsel en, unen, yeven kunenan "dare dartz"

I appologize in advance about this post but as men get older, they get very good at "multi-tasking" certain things. All those around here who have reached the age when in the morning, they start farting while peeing know exactly what I'm talking about. And damn it, I don't know what the heck these "researchers" are talking about but it doesn't need much focus at all to multi-task like that.

I'll vote for Azat ... even at a beauty contest!!!!

You need a good buffet.

Ok now everyone say "tsidik" 10 times fast.

People cruising in the fast lane slower or at the same speed as those traveling in other lanes while other cars are piled up behind them ... refusing to budge when several people are flashing their high beams at them, honking horns, gesturing wildly, and/or trying desparately to go around them.

It's kind of entertaining to see when occasionally even nature turns around and gives a switft kick into "environmentalists'" balls ... whether it's a massive flood, fire, volcano, or earth quake, it never ceases to amaze me how you still get some wack jobs that insist on camping on top of some trees in Berkeley for 2 years to somehow better the world and help their "cause". But perhaps the only group that is probably even more annoying that the "environmentalists" are the PETA-types ...

I feel this amazing urge to contribute my .02 as well. As every warm blooded parska-hye knows, "vart" is the root word of "vartik" which is the word used to refer to male underwear. Therefore, it only stands to reason that "vartavar" is the pagan holiday started by the parska-hyes where people "lower their vartiks". I guess in order to entice this behavior, water was used at some point which has stuck around to current days.

What video?

Tried it again .. it works now.

The live video is not working for me right now

How about instead of G recognition we start saying "Gecognition" or "recoGnition" ?

No doubt there is heavy logging going on in everything you do on the Internet (by everyone) but I don't think the Android platform collects or sends any more data about the user to the service providers than the other alternatives from Apple, RIM, or Microsoft. But I could be wrong ... I am not too familiar with the internals other than it is linux based (the source code is all available for free so at least everything they do at the platform level is much better known than the other alternatives -- any idea what Apple is doing inside the iPhone?). But you are right in that the platform is clearly meant to push all sorts of other google services which may be quite profitable (but still no one really knows where that profit is really going to come from other than ads ads ads)

Who am I? .. just a nobody Maybe one day when I do in fact do something that will truely be unique, new, amazing, and ground breaking, I'll have earned the right to "Na-na-na-naaa" someone. Hower I must state that I use Microsoft software on a daily basis (both traditional OS, occasional office stuff, mobile platform stuff) as well as Yahoo services (email and messenger etc) so to me, they are all very important right now (competition is always good -- I personally do NOT want to see Google be the only choice).

Ironically enough, Google is shifting the computing paradigm back to the days of the "dumb terminals" attached to central super computers. But now the difference is there is no longer a "centeral super computer" but a massive cloud which the users see as "google". Google is definitely pushing the cloud computing envelope which it is probably not a big surprise given the CEO is from Sun who for years was trying to scream the "network is the computer" ... "the network is the computer" ... Vava you are definitely right about there being huge showdowns between Microsoft and Google. Microsoft has built an empire on selling software packages for the PC where as now Google is going to give it away for free. There has not been a mention of a "Google operating system" but we have already seen glimpses of it in the market with ultra cheap linux based machines that do the basics ... email, office applications, browsing, multimedia, etc. As you also said Vava, that is hitting Microsoft at the two fundamental pillars: Operating Systems and Office software. What I was saying is ok OS is belongs to MS and Search is belongs to Google. What is the next big thing going to be Face-book is definitely on the way to grab the social networking arena and they have had a number of high profile people moving from Google to there. The other battle in which Microsoft will again be a loser in I think is the mobile platforms area. I have not seen anything really exciting coming out of Microsoft since the PocketPC which is now Windows Mobile 6. Apple currently has the upper hand while Google is sure to make HUGE splashes with the upcoming Android release. There is yet again Google coming in with a free OS, complete Open Source development tools and infrastructure to really take over the mobile phone market. And if you are a hardware vendor, why would you try to license super expensive software from Apple or Microsoft when you can have a share of the Google pie for free????

In search, probably. The correct question to ask is not how to beat Google in the domains in which Google is well established, but what new domain is going to help create the next Microsoft- and Google- scale giant to emerge. The interesting thing is that it is most likely something that we don't even know we desparately need (yet)

ANY language and any culture ... the point is that physical location is much less important as it is very possible to interact will all sorts of people and all sorts of groups due to the tools technology is giving us (and will give us). I hear people say things like oh Armenians in the US willl disappear in a couple of generations ... and I just don't think that is necessarily going to be that way since you can't compare the current times with that of even 15 or 20 years ago ... let alone from a whole generation or two ago.
