surface RT! …exploring

exploring Microsoft SurfaceRT! last couple of weeks. It has been a positive experience so far though there have been few glitches but the overall experience and the positive features outweigh the glitches, which makes it surfaceRT giving better UX.

I can sort your linked list…

V had her school project for word grouping to vowels , she cleared it.

To stretch further I asked to sort those words alphabetically.

She said yes.

I wanted to make sure she really understood my question. Asked her a few times and said the sorting should be really at each letter and not just the 1st letter of the word.

She confirmed she did.

Asked, between spoon and scale , which one comes first. Sure enough , she said scale, and that seemed she understood.

In few minutes, she confirmed that she completed. I said , are you sure you followed the instruction. It couldn’t be completed this fast .

I went over to check. And sure enough, she had sorted the words alphabetically.

I said, how did you complete this sorting, my linked list sorting is still isn’t working. For that she replied: “Give me your linked list and I can sort it in your computer program”. ..

Hmmm…

Looks like learning programming or new latest upcoming technology from her is not too far…

Gas price can go upto $7?

About 4 years ago the visitors who came to the US would say, “US sells a gallon of gasoline cheaper than for a  gallon of water”. About 3 years ago when we had a carpet cleaning co home, and during the conversation, he said, gas price can go upto $5 a gallon in next 2 to 4 years. I couldn’t believe but said “really!!!!”. Well, it is true today that the premium gas is around $4.85 a gallon.

I met with an appraiser this morning and during the conversation, he said, gas could go upto $7 in another 2 to 3 years. Though I couldn’t believe at first, but looking at the history for the past 3 to 5 years, no wonder if gas price does go up to that amount….
