wikipedia is history

At least to me. I was a fan, and probably will remain one, but i think this, free for all, concept is not really free for all, and is fraught with chaos and bias.

I recently encountered some difficulties in correcting a perception or bias of a story. I will go back and try again, but given my schedule i dont know if have the time to persist and fight all the dissenting views. Well it also means that the history i read is not exactly suiting my taste. So who is wrong? Wikipedia or me?

350 or bust !!

Didnt know a lot about 350. I started hearing about it recently, and came to know what it was all about. You can too....

Now that you know, what will you do to help?

Some religious snippets about India

India has the largest Hindu population in the world. Hindus form almost 80+% of the country's population. Hinduism is not the religion of the State (government). With around 930 million followers, Hindus would become the fourth largest country in the world, immediately after India !

India is home to more Muslims than only Indonesia, as per 2001 census. As per the most recent available statistics (pending the 2011 census) there are an estimated 165 million Muslims, but that puts India behind only Indonesia and Pakistan. That is more than the combined population of Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates and Yemen; the middle-east arab nations.

India is home to over 26 million Christians. That is more than most countries in Europe, except the top 9 (including Russia). Christianity reached in India, with the arrival of St. Thomas in 52 AD.

India is also the lab for Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism;

Buddhism is probably the biggest religious export from India. There are about 250-500 million Buddhists, of which only about 12 million reside in India.
Jainism is one of the oldest religion, but there are only about 6 millions Jains in the world, with more than 80% living in India.
Sikhism is the fifth largest religion in the world, the youngest with a large following of about 26 million, of which 22 million live in India.

India is home now to Zoroastrianism and houses the largest number of followers. India also has the largest followers of the Bahai faith, numbering about 2.2 million people.

Great Pacific Garbage Patch

One of pet peeves, stop dumping. Re-use, recycle, and refuse plastic and other products that cause waste.

If you havent already heard about one of the largest garbage dumps in the world, take a look at the animation below (thanks to GreenPeace).

Try the option 'The Journey of Trash', an animated presentation of how trash from the coast collects to form this great garbage patch, in the Pacific Ocean.

The making of the 'IQ Font'

Check out this video, which shows how a new font was created using the micro car from Toyota, called the IQ. I liked the font when i saw it, now i need to figure out how to weave that into documents etc., that i publish.
One problem at a time....

A solution ? Or more problems

I am quite confused with the priorities of the research scientists in the medical field - infertility, cloning, erectile disfunction, etc seem to be their top ticket items. Its not like these are the most important problems that the human beings are faced with. Well, men are, but the rest of humanity ?

And just when mother earth was finally winning the battle against its most destructive species...
