India is getting too dear!
At last it has happened.
Yes. SAP, world’s third-biggest software company is cutting its recruitment of Indian software experts because they are too expensive and is instead looking towards China and low-cost eastern European nations.
But Indians score over others with the possession of higher potential especially in the areas of intuitive reasoning, analytical ability, Mathematical deduction and communication in English.
Can the cheaper alternatives match them?
Censor or perish
This story on Google censorship on its China-based search engine brings out instances of some weird filtering.
The term “sex” is filtered out, so is Essex.com (or, essex.co.uk)!
No search results are available for Chinese, of booze, sex, gay, fun, falun, beer, jokes, anti and innumerable other terms, as per the whims of whoever administers the censorship.
Don’t be evil!
Back to the basics!
You always reach where you started from…
At age 4 success is not peeing in your pants.
At age 12 success is having friends.
At age 16 success is having a drivers license.
At age 20 success is having sex.
At age 35 success is having money.
At age 50 success is having money.
At age 60 success is having sex.
At age 70 success is having a drivers license.
At age 75 success is having friends.
At age 80 success is not peeing in your pants.

Wire-tap freebee
This piece of news from Robert X. Cringely about the spin-off benefits of Govermental policies and actions makes interesting reading!
“Here’s one more tidbit on wire-taps: They get you free phone service! The feds tapped the phone of the Sisters of Mercy in Washington D.C. because of some anti-war stance or something they took in the 1980s. The good sisters noticed some kind of clicking on the phone at times, and finally decided that someone must have tapped into their phone. Their solution: Don’t pay the bill so the phone company will have to shut off the phone. The phone never went dead, and they quit sending them bills! The Feds wouldn’t let Ma Bell shut them down, and probably began paying the bills. The sisters talked long and free with their friends across the country!”
Passwords galore
There is an excellent resource for creating and remembering passwords (in the present world, you can’t live without them, can you!). Since you have to have innumerable passwords for different applications and web sites, and because you can’t simply have a single monolithic password without compromising security, you need an easy way to create scores of passwords in a jiffy and still bring them back to your memory instantly through intelligent mnemonic devices.
This WikiHow page teaches you the tricks of the trade.
Very useful indeed.
Blog bandwagon!
Someone calling himself “John Kerry” (Remember him? He is the one who is responsible for G.W.Bush’s - or Dubya’s - 2nd term - by losing!) posted a diary on the popular liberal community blog DailyKos last week.
The blog entry has received 1223 comments!!
Some folks are skeptical over the authorship - is it the same Kerry or his namesake. But it is a welcome trend if the Congressmen and legislators start using direct communication with the masses using this push-button publishing medium.
