Wonder Boy - he can speak many foriegn language (He is not educated though)

I got this videos forwarded from a friend, this world has still things to amaze me :).
This boy wonder, Ravi is a seller of hand fan made of peacock feather and lives in slum.
While selling he has picked up so many languages from the tourists that he can converse in thier own language (german, japanese, arabic, italian, french and many more).
In the first video which was shot many years ago shows the young Ravi selling, the second video was shot when he is in his teens and he is still on the street selling the peacock fans.

This kind of somehow explains how the kids in SD Millionaire could talk to the tourists in english even though they are illiterate, Money and hunger ensures that we learn anything and do to survive in this nasty little world.
Even though I can speak Kannada/Telugu/Tamil/Hindi/English/Malayalam (little), this one is way  beyond.

AMD PUMA Platform (for laptops)

Till now playing games or watching HD Videos on ones laptop was not such an exciting thing to do due to lack of graphic capability on the laptops.
The IGP (Integrated Graphics Platform) which typically means that the cpu also doubles up for all the graphics work, has been bane to the gaming community, the reason why IGP are choosen for the laptops is that they consume less power, less heat and hence elongated battery life as compared to a discrete graphics card and the industry thinking is that (read Intel) is that since laptops is mostly used by people to work on word documents, surf the web, watch you tube, it is ok to have a weak IGP solution.
But now its a thing of the part, AMD has broken the mold and the new 780G motherboard chipset contacins a HD3200 GPU integrated and has a Turion Ultra processor, this is the PUMA platform and is going to chage the way laptops will be percieved, if you arent satisfied with the improved graphic performance, there is a provision of an port to plug-in an external GPU which was not practical till date.

The following video compares the AMD 780G chipset with intel G35








See the difference :)
