This post is a treat for me and TechMynd readers. I am going to highlight several things about Microsoft, Apple, Macintosh, IBM, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and the movies which I think every IT professional or geek should watch. The Pirates of Silicon Valley and The Antitrust. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are two college drop outs. Yet they ceased the future and gave this world a new dimension to explore. Now people live different, they think different, they communicate differently. Here I am mixing up some facts, fun and fiction together.

Michael proposed his girl friend and she said yes. But he thought that his original proposal was quiet and low-key. It was just some simple heart-felt words exchanged during a quiet night at home. So he did what any Silicon Valley geek would do: He decided to upgrade to "Proposal 2.0," a new improved online version. He proposed to Leslie from inside a Google Street View panorama. And it went live on Google Maps on August 5, 2008.

Michael Weiss-Malik, work for Google. Google Street View team decided to coordinate a pre-announced Street View run outside Google's Mountain View offices, with the idea that Googlers could line up along the street and appear in the imagery. So Michael put together his "Proposal 2.0" billboard and showed up, hoping that it'd be readily visible. And it was!

Michael thinks that you can help him too telling Leslie what you think! Infact he has created a website marrymeleslie.com so that you can drop her a line to help him propose! With your help, hopefully she'll give an even more enthusiastic "yes" to the second proposal than she did to the first one!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111

9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?
And finally, take a look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=123456789 87654321
