Perception and Alwar Balasubramaniam


Sculptures were great. Here is some transcript from the video regarding the perception

How do you interpret cow crossing the road?

  • A schoolteacher says, she'll simply say, "To get to the other side."
  • Potter would say, "For the greater good."
  • Martin Luther King would say, "I imagine a world where all cows will be free to cross the road, without having their motives called into question."
  • Moses comes now, and he sees the same cow walking around the street. He would definitely say, "God came down from heaven, and he said unto the cow, 'Thou shalt cross the road.' And cow crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing as a holy cow."
  • Freud would say, "The fact that you're at all concerned reveals your underlying sexual insecurity."
  • If we ask Einstein, he would say, "Whether the cow crossed the road, or the road moved underneath the cow, depends on your frame of reference."
  • Buddha. If he saw the same cow, he would say, "Asking this question denies your own nature as a cow."

A Beta version of Internet Explorer 9 is released. I thought of upgrading to new version and play around and see how it works.

And then there was a surprise. You can't run IE9 on Windows XP. You need new version of Windows :( .

Looks like there is more it it technically,


Below is the message I got

"Want to try Internet Explorer 9 Beta?
Since you're running Windows XP, you won't be able to install Internet Explorer 9 unless you upgrade to a more recent version of Windows.
