What Do You Love? - Scan & See Stats
WDYL, short for What Do You Love?, is a new website from Google that lets you search across all the Google Products from one place. The final home for WDYL, according to the HTML source, is likely to be google.com/whatdoyoulove but its not live yet.
Type in a query and WDYL will display the top search results from Google Images, Blogs, Maps, News, Books, YouTube, and other Google Search properties – neatly arranged on one page but there’s one element missing – web search.
Also, it looks like safe search is currently not enabled for Google WDYL so you may sometimes encounter NSFW results for regular queries. For instance, I searched for “Gmail” and the top photo result in Picasa was that of a woman on a beach.
Mobile Phone Charger Needs No Electricity
Saw a very cool device, a device that could be useful to millions of households in India and elsewhere who have mobile phones but sometimes not get enough electricity to charge their phones.
TES NewEnergy, a company based in Japan, has created a new USB based charger that can charge your mobile phone without requiring electricity – all it needs is a heat source which could be as simple as a pan of boiling water or even a campfire.
The device, known as Pan Charger, converts heat into electric energy and that can charge any cellphone, MP3 player or other mobile device over a USB connection in 3-5 hours. Thetech specs say that the USB connection also has a built-in radio and a lantern – things that you often need when there’s no power.

Food for Thought
While going through my daily feeds, I came across a very interesting feed which had the followings quote:
"We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves. "(Galileo Galilei)
I believe this is what we do, this is what we can do. We can help people, guide them but we can not teach people. It has to be self learning that they need to do in order to explore themselves.
