Wimbledon 2008
There are certain places where you feel things belong there - nothing more than Tennis at Wimbledon.
They have spoiled some of its spirit by making the courts less faster, so you dont get to see more "serve and volleys" or aces for that matter. Gone are the days when guys like Ivanisevic could advance very far riding on just his serves.

Inspite of those, this year, men's  match-ups, seems to be very interesting. Things are getting really competitive, Federer wants to prove that he is still the numero uno, Nadal would like to tell everyone - "Hey I can play finesse tennis too" and Djokovic would like to add his name to contention.

By the way, where is Andy?

On the women's side, It is sad to see Justin-Henin retire, hope she comes back, and waiting to see if Ana can hold it on Grass.

ICloneable, IEquatable , IComparable

ICloneable:

A nice read on on deep , shallow copy and the interface implementation

IEquatable

IEquatable.Equals vs. System.Object.Equals

The IEquatable.Equals method is very similar to Object.Equals. However, IEquatable.Equals is type-safe and generic—requiring no boxing and unboxing.


IEquatable vs. IComparable

At first glance, the IEquatable interface appears very similar to the IComparable interface. But, whereas IEquatable returns a bool representing only whether the instances are equal or not, IComparable returns an inthow the instances differ—whether smaller, equal or larger. indicating
