Facts you don't know about C language...

Most of us think that c language doesn't support polymorphism. But actually it does, think i am wrong, actually i can prove it to you.. Consider a normal printf statement, it looks something like :               printf("hai"); It also accepts another type of arguments:               printf("%d",&a);  //assume a is an integer variable. Now printf is an in-build function, it accepts two different type of arguments. In the first example it accepts a string variable , in the second one it accepts an integer variable, moreover it accepts different number of arguments, this points to the concept of function overloading which is a branch of polymorphism. C even supports operator overloading: & symbol-- the address operator as most of us  know..but it can also be noted as a bit and operator  too. Hence a single operator can be used for multiple purposes, There is another operator that is used for two operations. * one is used as a pointer.  

Here After no more captchas!! - Another step towards Futuristic User Experience..

Google claims that it can identify a robot with just one click. Captches-squiggled text that are used to find spambots. Although it is an effective way to recognize automated bots, it greatly reduces the user experience. To overcome these challenges, Google has designed a Turing Test that can spot a bot requiring it to do very much simple like a “click on a check box” So how does a click of a check box…..can tell google whether you are a human or a robot?.  Google says that the user leave a lot of clues by their way of interaction with the webpage, which reveal that they are actually human, such as the movement of the cursor before a single click,IP address, cookies,etc.. This new method is called “reCaptcha”. Google has tested this reCaptcha in its various services such as wordpress and Humble Bundle(Game sale site), it had an accuracy of 60% in wordpress and 80% in Humble Bundle. As a backup plan if the reCaptcha fails, suppose if there are not enough clues then it automatica

Sneak Peak Into Our Prime Minister's Social Agenda

Have your ever wondered, how our Prime Minister keeps track of all that is going on in the social media, amidst of  his busy schedule?     Well  Mr.Modi is one of the very few India Politicians who take considerable care in maintaining their social accounts, in fact he has setup a special division in the Information and Broadcasting Ministry to know the mood of the Nation in matters of national interest.     The Committee is called the 'Social Media Wing' of Information and Broadcasting Ministry. This Committee has to report to him about the latest trends in social media such Twitter and Facebook,which servers as a major source of response to the policies framed by Government.This in fact is one of the clever ways to gather information regarding response of people without having worry about the correctness of the information or having to wait for long time for the whole process to finish. The Government can get instant feed-backs and suggestions about the policies.  

Why Facebook's WhatsApp Deal Is Bad For Users

Facebook acquired WhatsApp(World's most popular messaging Service) for whooping $19 billion just a few days back, which is the largest ventured-backed acquisition in the history. This comes rather, as not a big  surprise given the fact that Whats App has surpassed the Facebook's instant messaging service Facebook Messenger, in the developing economies such Brazil,South Africa,Indonesia and China. Currently Facebook has around 1 billion users and it hopes to gain another 1 billion users through its Global Expansion policy,acquiring Whats App was just the first step in its plans. Facebook wanted to buy a true messaging app to complement Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp was the obvious choice thanks to the simple utility and skyrocketing global popularity. “Messenger evolved from Facebook chat which was more instant messaging, not SMS ... a lot of messages aren't real-time. Whats App evolved from the model of replacing SMS,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said o
