Indians (and other English-is-not-my-first-language races) tend not to have good written or spoken English, and understanding accents can become a problem dealing with support over the phone. (blanket generalisation blah blah, I know there are exceptions). So my advice would be to emphasise your English skills, both written and spoken. There's nothing that says "crap programming" faster than a GUI with spelling errors.
And if your English skills are crap, well take some classes to improve them!
How about physiotherapy? My brother does this and really loves it. Lots of human interaction, new interesting people all the time, reasonable pay, and you are helping people get better.:-) Soul saving stuff. Also, you only have to put up with the nut cases for 30 minutes before chucking them out the door.
One of the interacting parties defines the underlying memory allocation mechanism for data exchange. The other party always uses the published interface to allocate or free buffers to avoid possible inconsistency. This model requires both parties to stick to a programming convention that may not be relevant to the software's basic functionality and, in general, can make the code less reusable.
And the proposed solution requires both parties to stick to the common adbtract buffer interface. Hmmm!
Freecom make one called a Beatman, I have one and it works very well.

The skip protection is quite good; I had to run to catch a bus the other day and after 15 seconds or so of jiggling it all around (gettin jiggy with it?... sorry) it only skipped for half a second or so.
For those who want rewritable media, you can buy rewritable miniCDWRs that this device will read.
I don't personally see the real use though - of all my sony minidisc friends I think that they would rarely change a minidisc once they had made their compilation.
Also - you can burn a MP3 player onto the disc and then use it in any PC, without having to have MP3 software already installed.
V. cool.

Um, because the first thing the customer will want to do is download virus/securirty patches.
And each irate customer costs $9 per help desk call.

I thought this was a cool idea too: All clocks stop at 0:00:00 (go blank/blink/whatever) and then start at 0:00:01 again 39 or so minutes later.
Why don't you use morpheus or similar to get it, then those of use without morpheus, or aren't allowed to install apps like that, can download it?
Cheers,
