Is Apple IPhone4S Siri going to replace the Google Search Engine

I am sure this is one of those most optimistic title you can think of but that is what my first thought after seeing apple introductory video of Siri, there new voice recognition and task completion service integrated on Apple Iphone4s. I was amazed with smoothness and accuracy of Siri as shown on that video. You just say siri what's whether, find me new restaurant, traffic status and you get a response you are looking for, this looks to me a new way of searching web and technology.  Asking questions is more natural than typing on Google and believe if Siri kicks of like that you will suddenly have more search volume via siri than google, though only limiting factor is not everybody has Apple Iphone4s with them :). People are also thinking Siri as Google Killer let's see.

Dennis Ritchie, Creator of C language and Unix has passed away

I just come to know about this sad news that Dennis Ritchie passed away, It is second blow to technology world after Steve jobs who has recently passed away. Dennis Ritchie is the first programming figure I come to know when I started my programming classes in C and C++ and that's why when I heard this news I feel sad about it and suddenly I remember my programming days and I thought about this post to pay my tribute and remember him.

There is lot of Great information available on Dennis Ritchie in web and Wikipedia but two of its main contribution is:

1) C Programming language, which is still number one after Java.

2) His Contribution in UNIX Operating System which is best Server Operating system available.

3) Author of book

• The C Programming Language (1978 with Brian Kernighan; see K&R)
• Unix Programmer's Manual (1971)

Let’s remember this programming genius and pay 2 minute tribute to him, without his C language and immense contribution to programming language, community will never forget him.

May god rest his soul in piece.
