Pappu, coding and Google Search

Few days back, I received a forwarded mail - "Pappu can't code saala" from one of my geek friend. Today, another friend, (non-geek) sent that same mail to me. I just thought of searching pharse, "pappu can't code".

Here are some result count searching "pappu can't code":

Google.co.in - 624 results
Blogsearch.google.com - 22 results
Yahaoo! - 19 results
MSN =- 74 results

For those, who haven't received this email yet, here is the funny-parody of the song:

Hold on to your dreams!

Dreams need people like, people need dreams,
vision needs somebody to make it real it seems.
The world is a canvas and you have the power,
to paint your kind of picture,
when it comes to be your hour.

Hold on to your dreams,
just believe that you can.
Nothings going to stop you,
thats the story of man.

If you should ever lose your faith,
and stumble in your stride,
remember that the dream you hold,
is your purpose is your pride.

Never think of losing,
your place is in the sun.
To have the courage, to have a dream,
is to have already won.

Hold on to your dreams,
just believe that you can.
Nothings going to stop you,
thats the story of man.

youTube Viacom lawsuit

Viacom has asked for an astonishing array of information: the source code for the search functions that power Google and YouTube, the source code for YouTube's new "Video ID" program, a complete set of every video ever removed from the site, databases containing information on every video ever hosted at YouTube, and a copy of every private video.

Logging database is 12TB containing logging information on every video ever watched at YouTube. The data set is large, but the judge noted that it could be slapped on three "over-the-shelf" 4TB drives.

The judge wrote in his ruling that Google’s "database contains, for each instance a video is watched, the unique user who watched it, the time when the user started to watch the video, the internet protocol address other devices connected to the internet use to identify the user’s computer ("IP address"), and the identifier for the video … that database (which is stored on live computer hard drives) is the only existing record of how often each video has been viewed during various time periods."

The Globe and Mail has reported that “the judge set no specific geographic limitations on the data Google must produce, meaning user names and Internet protocol (IP) addresses of millions of Canadians and other YouTube users outside the U.S. could also be at risk.”

From the youTube blog:
Of course, we have to follow legal process. But since IP addresses and usernames aren't necessary to determine general viewing practices, our lawyers have asked their lawyers to let us remove that information before we hand over the data they're seeking. (You should know, IP addresses identify a computer, not the person using it. It's not possible to determine your identity solely based on your IP address. Rather, an IP address can reveal what geographic area you're connecting from, or which Internet service provider you're using.)
