  4. Re:Thanks Cringely on IBM to Lay Off Half of Global Services Division · · Score: 1

    Any such move will only make Sam Palmisano LEANER :-) Cringley, your out of the box thinking holds good for disruptive technologies not managements of a company.

    As long as they don't improve the driver support(Wirless Card, USB Phone, DVD+/-*) it won't be my desktop PC.

  11. Size Matters! I mean the sample size ;-) on Massive Chasm In Asia's Public Sector IT Spending · · Score: 1

    I am not sure but somewhere in per-Capita comes the picture of population.

    while India and China spend a dismal USD 1

    India and China both have a Billion plus population. LOL. Not sure about China but 80% of Indian popultion is still in the villages.

    Anyway, just today I covered on my blog how Telecom MNCs have benefited from globalization and how Indian companies are using their technology and services :-)

    I am wondering as to why are they using ASPX and not open source tools like they have traditionally done ? So are they having a windows server farm to run writely ?

  14. Finaly saving on Googleware cycles on Google Upgrades Blogger · · Score: 1

    No more waiting for the publishing indicator to creep its way up to 100%.
    At last you decided to save on your CPU cycles and also have a faster means to index rather than crawling the static page.

    "AOL Search".

  16. AOL powered by Google... on AOL Releases Search Logs of 657,427 Users · · Score: 1

    I had submitted a story to slashdot - which is still pending. Google to open 1 trillion words at LDC in a 6 pack Monday August 07, @08:36AM Pending Was AOL provoked by Google's action ? LOL

  18. Re:Intel Conroe on AMD Takes 25 Percent of Server Market · · Score: 1

    I would suggest to run your own benchmark tests before you push the BUY button in your org. For example, the original Itaniums sucked badly but soon I saw an e-mail from my boss that they performed the best for high transaction commerce. In any case I am really impressed with Googlware ;-)

  19. Any Firefox updates released ? on Spyware Disguises Itself as Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    What US ? Well the market will also shift to Asia and Europe. Check out where NOKIA is selling its mobiles. Check out latest top 100 Tech companies released by BusinessWeek, to know where America stands. However, American institutional investors are making money ;-)

  22. H1Bs don't... on Complaints Filed Over Firms Seeking H1-B Holders · · Score: 1

    jump across American borders or tunnels nor evade IRS Taxes and enroll their kids for free education, but their contribution to Social Security is in Billions. They don't get FREE medical benefits, they have to pay for it. Internet Bloggers and News Networks must look at real problems America is facing rather than beating empty drums ;-)

  23. Is GOOG showing signs of saturation in Innovation? on Google Launches Cost Per Action AdSense · · Score: 1

    What's big deal about it ? This has been around for so many years with even third rate web-hosting companies. So Google admits that its GENIUS ENGINEERS of the Google Caste System can't fight fraud click ? Where is all the Innovation & the big-dreams you projected about shaking the NY ad-world ? You will be no better than CJ once you adopt that model. OR Is it that the slowdown in American economy which is forcing advertisers not to pay/click and go for sales based model ?

  24. Re:elsewhere IBM is coined as Indian Business Mach on Why Apple Backed out from India? · · Score: 1

    6 billion over 3 years isn't really all that much
    $6 Billion * 46(Rs) = Rs27,600 crores. That's a hell lot of money in India. Check out any Indian company annual report and their expenditure is roughly 1/10th of Rs27,600 crores :) Why India will always remain a low cost IT outsourcing destination is because of this simple model.
    India produces not so quality grads every year, but in quantity for sure. These grads are desperately looking for jobs and don't mind slogging 12-15 hours a day on low wages, without any Insurance, 401K, etc. What Indian companies typically do is train these fresh grads and dump the work under supervision of few experienced engineers. This model will remain and continue. Trust me, India has so much population, economics works totally different here. Their is no threat to IT/Non-IT companies living on outsourcing model - Indian, Chinese or Russian, doesn't matter.

  25. elsewhere IBM is coined as Indian Business Machine on Why Apple Backed out from India? · · Score: 3, Informative

    With IBM CEO announcing $6 Billion for expansion in India, which also included setting up worldclass IBM Research centers, I think it was a bad move by Apple. IBM CEO & executives are much more experienced and powerful in the corporate world than Apple executives are. When Bach's player hits the road, Jobs will be forced to move Cupertino to Bangalore or he will move to Benaras ;-)
