Small notes in English. Wednesday, August 29, 2007. One thing that drives me nuts in India is the country's multilingual culture. Indian constitution recognizes 22 languages as National languages. Plus, 114 languages are spoken by more than 10,000 native speakers! So, to give you an idea of this, can you tell me which language is used in each picture below - Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, or Tamil? Posted by Ricardo at 5:31 AM. Monday, August 27, 2007. Posted by Ricardo at 11:42 PM. First time in India.

He also adds a comparison of the overall results of different searc...

According to the mentioned blog, 152 people died in India due to terrorist attack this year. On the other hand, it is estimated that 170 were hit by lost bullets in 2007, only in the city of Rio.

Small notes in English. Sunday, June 8, 2008. Is Technological Singularity almost a reality? Until two days ago, I was very skeptic about technological singularity. I believed in the paradox that if humans created the machines, how can they be smarter than their creators?
