I'm sure all of you must have noticed our teasers. We're sure that the curiosity is already building up everywhere. Everyone's guessing!
Here's a small competition for all of you 👍 . Guess what's coming to CE on February 01 & we'll gift you any book/item of your choice from Flipkart.com worth Rs. 500 (or less 😀 ).
Update: The first CEan to make the right guess will be declared as the winner.
Dear guest, you must be logged-in to participate on CrazyEngineers. We would love to have you as a

According to my deductions :
All the pics directly or indirectly relate to the term "absolute zero" (although a thermometer can never show -273.15, it conveys the message)
So there is a radical change coming, something not done on CE before, absolutely from scratch.
And since changes have been made to the site in the recent past, it is improbable that changes are in the look and functionality of the site.
And hence my deduction points to a app/ mobile site for different platforms so that CE can be accessed properly on the go. Maybe work on it has been done from absolutely the zeroth level and from scratch and hence those hints.
PS: Those who're active on Facebook, please help us spread the message. Either click the Facebook like, Google +1 or Tweet button or simply inform your friends through status updates.
my guess is that CE is trying to incorporate something like seminars and paper presentations..like IEEE(though IEEE is too big!!)...just a thought...since the ads indicate at ABSOLUTE ZERO..
First One, Absolute Zero - OK - The lowest temperature possible, the temperature at which everything including air freezes solid 😔 😖 Scary. 😛 Hence, you're enhancing or bringing something which will chill us.
Second one, woo..A Vodka add 😛 Perhaps relate to Absolute Zero as well which says "Absolute Perfection"
and third 1-2-12 (Date-Month-Year) , although there is nothing to relate with the date other than it's fancy looking. Hence, in my view it may not relate to any event or anything except it may be something relate to "Joomla" !
"😯 May be Biggie going to freeze us with a Crazy theme! All new CE look, themes, photo Upgrades 😛 All the stuff with awesome absolute perfection!"
Lots of guesses :
1. CE may start something that helps students. Like lecture tutorials or materials for students, or Even CE might bring some experienced tech people to answer our queries or question backs or assignment tests.
2. Layout change. CE might be offering fluid and fixed layout to users.
Another guess would be, the same with the exams and they don't need the fear... Fear is equivalent to hot and no need to fear, which you become cool! Right?
it seems like to be a measurement of knowledge testing and there might be a criteria for testing and inspecting and at that criteria One have to meet.
as shown the thermometer and mom is teasing her son.

And will post if got any other 😛
And one more my guess is
3. Did CE found it's special recruitment procedure to select candidates for it's business and will start recruiting? 😛
CE Mobile app, CE weekly podcast, cool CE merchandise, New CE, Music video😁 , CE Anthem, Distance learning programs exclusive for CE users, Special discounts on products from Flipkart.com😉😛, CE software product! 😀👍👎😘🎉
by absolute Zero... I feel CE will try to help personally students.. by going to their colleges or help students from scratch .. or recruiting freshers
absolute zero cannot be reached according to the law of thermodynamics hence ce is going to do something which is said impossible...may be any do it yourself stuff or a site named crazydoctors...
If it is a teaser, the you are just going to say April Fool to us.😨
Absolute zero does not exist. It is merely reverse-extrapolating the graphs of pressure and temperature where the value of entropy is at its minimum. ☕
it might be a temperature display wherein you have to key in your city and you get the temperature/weather in your city.. and since its going to be launched in this winter season the pictures display absolute zero.. absolute zero= lowest possible temperature.
P.S : some regions in India broke a 11 year old record of temperatures recently.. 😀
@ The_Big_K :
the second one seems to be a bottle of wine or spirit 😛 ... so people like to drink these in cold days... or like it heats up your body... so it has some relation with temperature...
and the third one ... i did not realize that to be a teaser 😛
all the letters except the "absolute zero" are in red so it means (red (hot-relating temp)) the women's brain is heated up and she yells at the boy saying that he is an absolute zero is because the boy is as chill as an absolute zero and doesn't put any work to his brain.... Its a weird guess guys 😉😁
Ok..Seeing those teasers my guess is like something helpful for students who are average in studies n als for all ..You are providing interface for MOCK TESTS or SELF EVALUATING tests joining hands with some company..Absolute zero indicates that the online tests will be starting from scratch..And they wud be helpful for dull students..students will knw wer they stand..It wud include subjects of all branches...
And also i guess u ppl r providing VIDEOS OF LECTURES of famous educators,so that the crazy engineers can understand the concepts well...
Hoping my guess is right..😀 😀
Well i see aabsolut Zero in all the adds.
1-May be something related to improving engineers capacity from the basics with some kind of tutorials or trainings for the absolute beginners.
2-May be some kind of new app or prizes.
3-May be it will start somekind of research work which everybody can contribute to.
4-May be some Absolute new ideas comin up.
Issue, I thought that we were only Crazy. Now you want to make us all fools as well. K's plan seems to be to circumvent CEans becoming extinct in 2012 by deep freezing all @ Absolute Zero.
my guess is that CE is trying to incorporate something like seminars and paper presentations..like IEEE(though IEEE is too big!!)...just a thought...since the ads indicate at ABSOLUTE ZERO..
superb thinking... i think some professor of your has put 'IEEE' into your head!
@zaki: WoW ! 😁 That's a nice guess. How does it relate to second and third teser? 😨
First Teaser: Absolute Zero is ground state - the lowest energy level.
Second Teaser. A horizontal Spirit Bottle indicates that the contents are fully in and the spirits (of CEans?) have soared up to wild heights.
Third Teaser: The mother (K?) brings all down to earth with a thud to the real world of mundane engineering, which is what feeds us ultimately.
well i can guess it would be something adventurous ,that had never happened before in CE,may like a campaign to motivate youngsters but in a different ...absolute zero relates the contest is related to simplicity ,from the very beginning .
Here's a Crazy one:
Providing an option to either type a comment or post it as a voice reply. So we would have a choice to either read the comment or hear the comment. 😁
Our dream is to turn CE from an online community to an engineering company. While we've discussed this many times; I wish to share an important update in this regard. We've made lot of progress in terms of revenues so that we can hire engineers & sustain their salaries. We're currently busy doing our homework so that we can begin hiring engineers; both part & full time to work on eye-popping projects we've planned. Venture Capital firms and Angel Investors are already approaching us which gives us an extra boost. It turns out that managing a company is a bit more challenging task that we first imagined 😀.
Within next 3-4 months, we'll begin hiring awesome CEans to create amazing things. Relevant announcements will be made at proper times.
Contests & Activities: New contests will be conducted at a greater frequency because we know that you just love them!
CE Meets: It's so unfortunate that we haven't had a official meet this year. In 2012, let's try to have at least 4-5 official CE meets.
New Partnerships: Quite a few big companies are extending their hands at us for partnerships. It's too early to talk about what's being planned. But it surely is exciting. Stay tuned.
That's just a hint of what's coming on CE over the next few months. We're excited and already sleepless 😁. We promise, we won't let you sleep.
This was posted on 26th Nov 2011. So February will be the third month from November , so i guess CE will be hiring engineers now !
First of all going to the 3rd teaser,A mother is scolding the kid because of some "Absolute Zero" which could a forum/site related to kids which(Absolute Zero) can keep kids coool/happy (combining Teasers 1 & 2).
😀 😀 😀
CE is on a revamp! New features to the site, hiring people, announcing new ventures are my guesses. I may be wrong in this. But I am absolutely sure that Big_K is having awesome time reading all those guesses. Biggie I can imagine your guffaws!!!😁
thanks to all persons here who just made me refresh my engineering tactics after a gap of 4 yrs..
From the 3 indications-
1. Thermometer at 273.15----Absolute 0 temperature..It is where all molecular activity ceases..might be something is going to end. 2012 ENDING....HE HE
2. Liquior of Absolte 0--- Water freezes at 0°C (32°F) and the freezing point of ethanol alcohol is -114°C (-173.2°F).
3. Absolute 0 again..
With all these things ,i can make only 1 guess....ABSOLUTELY NIL..
maybe its something like this.. startup companies can find freelancers to handle small projects through CE??i mean CE provides a common platform where companies can float there projects and freelancers can bid for these projects??
Assuming that I've read all the posts; we do not have the right guess so far. Not even close! Come on! Imagine your favorite book lying on the shelf and all you need is a right guess to have it in your hands!
We're just a few hours away from the launch. I'll try & add one more teaser (not on the obvious location, obviously 😉 ) before the launch.
I thought it could be a enhancement to the site but "Is it a small talk from a scientist related to a thermometer(or from a scientist who had expert-iced concepts based on Second law of thermodynamics.)"
or CE mobile Upgrade i.e., new CE logo for mobile application!
All the three guesses above and now!
What can they could be...😨 Complete the project work soon Biggie.
Holy kaw! The latest teaser is just a conversation between two engineering college students. Not me, anyway! 😁
Are you bringing any professional tech people to CE, to answer our CEans questions(Like developing a team with senior members and arranging LIVE chat/conference with so that our CEans can ask questions and learn). 😏

Is for true! this is happening. I've a project to finish 😛
Okay, to relieve our CEans away from strain of guessing. I want to end this and making a NEW GUESS...
CE TIME MACHINE! To roll out all the work performed by our CEans and helping them to enhance their skills further to Absolute Zero(which represent Absolute Perfection. 😉)
Are we starting up a university which avoids books and relies just on practical wisdom? The "zero" students like myself shall gain a lot from it! 😀 Hoping for a 3 Idiots kind of engineering school!👍☕

Yeah, even I thought of CE University / School.
But I guess, CE Office will come up first. 😀

CE Office is coming; but we figured out that if we wait a little longer, we'll actually setup a world-class startup office. Plus, if our upcoming features (there are several of them!) make us more successful, we'll start picking up CEans right from our community to directly work with us.

YES! I see it all over CE. 👍
Meanwhile, if I finish with some good work (to show my skills) by then and become more technically sound; I'm IN. 😉
Ok, I have summarised the Guesses here. Hope I have not missed out any. Come one CEans, we have to make the right guess by the end of the day. 😐 Refer to this list and please don't repeat the guesses. Now make new guesses. 😁

Any CE Project guide to help the students with good Project topics and so on right from Absolute Zero?
CE TIME MACHINE! To roll out all the work performed by our CEans and helping them to enhance their skills further to Absolute Zero(which represent Absolute Perfection.)
This is really tough! Bt, ABSOLUTE ZERO can b some mvie / documntry...or sme online game "that makes us cme to CE again nd again"! Some stuff like Farmville ,or GoJiyo.com...! Cnt go beyond this!
Hey Got it, now the only thing remaining here to guess is CE Conference, all new look CE conference. Yes. Since, it's given it zeroth importance here in CE, Biggie might be calling it Absolute Zero, it might be CE conference again to make CE perfect with everything. Hence, my another and final guess is CE Conference. 😀
CE Conference is a real time chat box that was an integral part of CE Forums for a long time. But it was removed after we realized that most of the time was spent in casual talks than some serious discussions.
I'll drop one more hint for the more enthusiastic CEans. The new thing will make you come back to CE; again and again and again 😁
Most of the CEans must be on CE while they are online. So something that will make them come back to CE could be something that operates when you are offline ? Perhaps a mobile app which gives instant alerts ?
That way CEans will know in Absolute Zero time that they are remembered on CE.
Dunno , maybe others have already guessed this and doesn't seem to fit. I didn't see all the previous guesses so sorry if this is already been discussed. 😔
It's a big stuff and time consuming to search my subject realted topics. I want new forum for ELECTRONIC AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING in technical discussions.😔

It's just a part of Electronics engineering, right? We can plan a sub-section if you want.

Kunal, you can see all the guesses #-Link-Snipped-#.
I don't see CE going offline. I hope that is not the surprise. 😔
I didn't mean CE would go offline , I mean something that would alert users while they are offline . : ) . And for that a mobile alert system.

CE Toolbar. I think we had a discussion on this in relation with the CE Plugin.
CE Browser. Big K has mentioned this once.. which I think follows naturally if we manage to successfully complete the above projects.
#-Link-Snipped-#
This page has now fetched a lot of amazing ideas that can actually be implemented for a better CE.
Now this is my final
A real time 'design platform' which essentially contains all the necessery tools required for any engineer to work on projects individually and in groups so that they can communicate and share ideas effectively and give rise to designs that could just be dreamt of, otherwise.
There is a new forum visible . Title 'absolute zero'. It is empty as of now. Dunno what it means. Plus it is in lounge section.
But the 500 Bucks question is - What will it be about ?
Sites like Physicsforums have forums in which one can play games such as chess. Each player can open a thread and in that thread there is a chess game(ex:- #-Link-Snipped-#) I guess it could be something like that. As it is in lounge section it can't be something seriously academic. Plus a live ongoing game is something that will make people come back to CE again and again.
Or perhaps there could be science related quizzes in this forum on a regular basis.
