There you go! Economists all over the world worry about the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the nation. And now, the businesses world over can look for a new value - GHP (Gross Happiness Product) of a nation. Sounds funny? This is pretty serious stuff. Read on. GHP is a new tool from Facebook to determine the general state of happiness for all Facebook users of the English version of the site in the US. "Every day, through Facebook status updates, people share how they feel with those who matter most in their lives," Adam D. I. Kramer, a Ph.D. student in social psychology at the University of Oregon interning at Facebook, wrote. “Grouped together, these updates are indicative of how we are collectively feeling.” This idea led to a project that started earlier this year at Facebook to measure the mood of Facebook users based on what they wrote every day.

Windows 7 launch party kit just arrived a few hours back and I must say I am really happy to get hold of a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate edition! Below are some of the pics of the launch party kit and its contents - [gallery link="file"] Personally, as a party host with Windows 7 Ultimate DVD, there is every reason to celebrate, but about my poor friends who have accepted my invite for the party? All that they will get is a lousy tote bag. Pity them!
The package contains a limited Signature Edition of Windows® 7 Ultimate, plus one poster, one puzzle, one deck of playing cards, and 10 tote bags all featuring one-of-a-kind Windows® 7 Desktop Designs.
On a serious note, the package contents look very lame. I can't imagine solving that jig-saw puzzle with my friends, neither can use the poster even in my garage. I didn't get the deck of playing cards. So, it will be really tough to keep my guests interested in the party. But anything for a free copy of Windows 7...
