yes! but how?
With the four lines of code, one can have the computer speak whatever they type. It is by creating simple visual basic file. It will convert each typed word in the speech.
Now get started with it. Just type following lines in the Notepad and save the file with .vbs extension like "a.vbs".

Finally Google Wave will die out on 30th April 2012

2 comments

Google wave, which was allow user to collaborate and communicate in real time was already a failed product from Google. A year ago in Aug 2010, Google announced that it will not go with Google Wave as separate product. They also mentioned that they will keep the site until end of year 2010. Since then nothing had done this failed product.

Today, Google announced the specific date to kill Google Wave. The Google wave will end on  30th April 2012, with user are allowed to export the waves in the PDF format before this date. First Google will make the Wave read only from 31 January, 2012 of which no user will able to post or share anything.

Google Wave was never expected by users and was supposed to be too much advance. Well it was one of the service that Google put off. At the time of discontinuing the service Google CEO, Schmidt said that they celebrate their Failures and now it time time to have that again.

Mean while, those who still want continue with it can opt of other wave services like Apache Wave, which one of the open source project on it. Apache Wave was build as Google discontinued it's wave product and it go on the similar platform as of Google wave.

The last date of user to collect their wave is 30th April 2012, and to make it easy Google had a tool for them to export. Walkaround, an open source project allow user to export the wave data. Well nothing the Wave will works as Google has it new tool to promote, it's ambitious social network so called Google+.

Roll the search page 

"do a barrel roll", just  type it on search box at Google and press enter to view the page rolling. This can be done with "z or r twice" also.

Google search itself act like a calculator it will give you any mathematics problem get solved. There are few of the result that comes out from calculator is little strange. Type in search box " the loneliest number" , it will give the value of one  " the loneliest number = 1" similar is with "(e^(pi * i)) + the loneliest number" which give "(e^(pi * i)) + the loneliest number =0".
Now very interesting thing that is most amazing that produce from Google search. Type "the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything" and see the result yourself.

Wrong suggestion by Google


If you going to search for the recursion then what you will see? Yes the search results or what? Beside that a suggestion appear that ask you  "Did you mean recursion" though you didn't spell wrong. Another one is  "anagram", so when you search it on Google, it ask "Did you mean: nag a ram".
