Why do Indians put religion before nationality?

François Gautier,French journalist and writer writes Why do Indians put religion before nationality?

A good article on the real democrazy in India which you cannot see in any other western world.

The Graham Staines story is also an eloquent testimony of the subtle and not-so-subtle influence that Christians have on this country. The murderer, Dara Singh, has been convicted to death. His was a horrible deed: to burn a man and his innocent children does deserve the capital punishment. Justice is thus done and the entire press - Indian and foreign - rightly rejoiced.

But one may ask this question: What happens to the murderers of thousands of innocent Hindus who have been burnt, lacerated, bombed, raped, their eyes gauged, their homes ransacked? Why don’t their widows get the same sympathy as Mrs Staines? Because they are brown and Hindus and Mrs Staines is white and Christian? Don’t dismiss this again lightly: I remember a few days after Graham Staines was killed, 14 Hindu labourers were murdered in Himachal Pradesh by Muslims separatists. The entire English speaking Indian press devoted page after page of outrage on the killing of Staines, but the murder of the Hindus in HP only warranted a few lines in most newspapers without condemnation. I can understand that Western correspondents based in India show such a slant – even if it does not speak much for their fairness – but Indian journalists, most of them Hindus at that! And if Lyngdoh was really fair, he would have seen to it that the NDTV of Prannoy Roy and Rajdeep Sardesai, two brilliant journalists no doubt, was brought to the book for inflaming communal passions during Gujurat riots by constantly showing burnt people and broken bodies.

In my country, France which is truly secular in the sense that the State and the Church are separated, because at some point the Church controlled enormous amount of land and political power, I doubt that a non-Catholic could become Election Commissioner (a post which does not exist anyway). It is a tribute to India’s openness and liberalism that a Christian holds that post, and that a Muslim is President of India at the moment, although Christians and Muslims often complain that they are discriminated against in India. Recently, French President Jacques Chirac asked every Frenchman, specially the French Muslims, ‘to be French first and Muslims second’. In India, one often finds that people put their religion before their nationality, particularly the Muslims and to a lesser degree the Christians. So Lyngdoh, are you a Christian and then an Indian? An Indian and then a Christian? Or simply an Indian?

Cult Of NDA

The cult of the NDA

Why the cult of the NDA?

In our culture, we've elevated the creative new idea to be the core factor in determining whether a startup succeeds or fails. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth, but there's a chain of logic which leads inextricably to the NDA:

1) A unique new product or idea is essential to a startup's success.

2) The first company to capitalize on a new product or idea has a unique and sustainable advantage.

3) I have a unique idea for a new product or service.

4) If others find out about my unique idea, they could bring it to market first, and steal the advantage from me.

5) Therefore, by disclosing my idea only under the strictest confidentiality, I preserve an advantage for myself.

Each of these five points is wrong in most cases, though they are a comforting fiction for a young company faced with long odds against success.

India to emerge as knowledge power: Dr Mashelkar

Rediff Writes:

Nearly 80 per cent of India's spend on science and technology is still done by the government, with private industry participation at barely 20 per cent.

The Indian government spends 1.1 per cent of its gross domestic product on research and development in science and technology.

This figure has gone up compared to 1995-97 when the government's spend on R&D was just about 0.71 per cent. Most developed countries spend about 3 per cent of their GDP on R&D in science and technology.

Yet Dr R A Mashelkar, director general of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the largest chain of industrial research and development institutions in the world, with 38 laboratories and about 22,000 employees, believes that India is poised to become the largest 'knowledge producer' in the world.

Goal Person Vs River Person

[Via Rajesh Jain ]Conversations with Dina

Goal People

Most of us are undoubtedly familiar with goal people. They are the individuals who write down their objectives and timetables for reaching them, and then focus on attaining them, one by one. By laying out a roadmap of future achievements in front of them, goal people give their creative minds a clear set of stimuli to work on. Their subconscious minds can then get to work incubating ideas and insights that will help them to reach their goals.

River People

River people, on the other hand, don't like to follow such a structured route to success. They are called river people because they are happiest and most fulfilled when they are wading in a rich "river" of interest -- a subject or profession about which they are very passionate. While they may not have a concrete plan with measurable goals, river people are often successful because they are so passionate about their area of interest.

RedHat into J2EE SPace

Red Hat Plans Open Source J2EE, Clustering And Other Middleware > September 23, 2003

This looks exciting, still skeptical. There are already JBoss otu there, Apache foundation is working on Germanio and Red Hat J2EE server ?? Well a open source J2EE server backup up by cash cow like Red Hat, will certainly stand a chance in the long Run. But implementing the entire stack of Red Hat is like locking yourself to use Red Hat. Well, its still free, why not lock up?

Power of Community Radio!

This village is gaga over the radio: it changed its face forever

India’s first independent, community radio initiative is in this millet-and-tomato growing village in Karnataka. It is a cable radio service because the Government forbids communities from using airwaves. A media advocacy group, with the help of UN funds, laid cables, sold subsidised radios with cable jacks to villagers and trained young people to run the station.

‘‘The power of community radio as a tool of social change is enormous in a country that is poor, illiterate and has a daunting diversity of languages and cultures,’’ says Ashish Sen, director of Voices, the advocacy group

Since it began broadcasting in March, Our Voices community radio has crackled with the sounds of schoolchildren singing songs and giggling to jokes; of young girls talking fearlessly about the evils of dowry and admonishing boys for teasing them at school; of women giving out recipes and teaching others how to open a bank account; and, of farmers debating the vagaries of weather and fluctuating crop prices.

4 INDIANS IN MIT FUTURE LIST!

Well, this is no surprise: 4 Indians in MIT future list, an article in Indian express.

Six years ago, Vipul Prakash was a Delhi University computer jock who shunned the city’s great outdoors and spent his time fiddling around his binary universe.

But there were just so many computers, and Prakash was frustrated. In 1997, he finally dropped out of DU for, as he puts it, ‘‘want of undisturbed coding time’’.


After working with NIIT and writing for Indian computer magazines, he followed the great tech trail west — via Bangalore, to San Francisco.

This week Prakash (25) will burst into prominence as one of four Indians chosen by the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) among 100 of the world’s top young innovators.

The others are Tufts University chemistry professor Krishna Kumar (32), Iowa State University chemical engineering professor Balaji Narasimhan (31), and Ravikanth Pappu (33), a principal and materials whiz at a cutting-edge company called ThingMagic in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

All of them will be honoured on September 25 at MIT in a gathering of the who’s who of America’s scientific and business community. The listing, now in its third year, was created after the dotcom bust to tell the world that innovation is flourishing yet, to appraise the world of lab dwellers, visionaries and deal makers who will ‘‘transform our world in the years to come’’. All 100 will be revealed in the MIT magazine Technology Review.

I need to get some recognition like that and I am sure its going to be real fun.

Speech By Anil Ambani on Entreprenuership

Anil Ambani of Reliance Industries recently gave a convocation address at the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India, Ahmedabad. Some Excerpts:

Across diverse sectors internationally, the "Made in India" tag is now an increasingly respected brand, valued for quality, reliability,
and competitiveness.

It is often said, people, who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the only ones that actually do!

I believe the first, and perhaps most important, requirement for success, as an entrepreneur, is a passion for your work.

To be able to look forward, to every new day of work, with a sense of optimism, with a sense of purpose, with a sense of challenge, and with a view to enjoying the work you are doing!

Absence of experience can be made up through training and on-the-job performance, but lack of basic competence can never be made up.

To guide you in this exciting journey of entrepreneurship, I would like to end my comments today, by sharing with you the guru-mantras for all entrepreneurs:

Relationship and Trust – these are the foundations of success.

If you work with determination and with perfection, success will follow.

Meeting deadlines is not good enough. Beating deadlines is what is required.

Pursue your goals even in the face of difficulties. In every adversity, there is opportunity.

Do not accept defeat. Challenge negative forces. The past will give in. You will certainly succeed. Never give up.

Hope is your most powerful weapon. Self-confidence is your greatest asset.

Ordinary people, when motivated, achieve extraordinary things.

Pedigree is no longer of any significance in modern India. It is performance that is crucial.

Recognition is your greatest reward.

Work till your last breath. Work is worship.

Dear Sir,
At the outset kindly accept my heartiest congratulations for making India proud by appearing on the cover of “TIMES” magazine. I am taking the liberty to narrate the achievements of my eldest son Vaibhav Gupta, a student of class-XI, his educational dreams etc.

He is a student of Delhi Public School Rourkela and his date of birth is 13/02/1988. He is now 16 years old.

Vaibhav passed class X (CBSE) in 2003 scoring 91.5% marks. He is now preparing for class XII (CBSE) due in March 2005. Thereafter he intends to pursue graduation in the field of ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES (not environmental engineering) or ECOLOGY in India or abroad and then specialize in these fields abroad.

Before I proceed further, I would like to mention about the career he wants to pursue. He wants to be a researcher or scientist as shown in TV Channel "National Geographic Channel". He does not want to study Engineering or Medical instead wants to pursue graduation in Pure Sciences in the areas of Environment or Ecology.

I am highlighting here some of his achievements so far in these areas so that you can also understand his bent of mind.

In class-VII he undertook a science project related to environment "Man-nature conflict: a case study of the mining areas of Orissa". He represented the State of Orissa in the National Children's Science Congress (NCSC) meet held at Goa in Dec'1999 and thereafter was selected to participate in the "Indian Science Congress" (ISC) and Child Scientist Meet held at Pune in Jan'2000 which was presided upon by the Prime Minister of India.

In class VIII he was the member of the team which took up another environment related science project titled: "Storage and preservation of paddy using agricultural waste". This was also selected for the NCSC and ISC in 2000-01.

In class-IX he took up yet another environmental project:"Cow-dung: The legacy of an ancient pesticide discovered". This won the 1st prize at the Intel Science Talent Discovery Fair organized by M/S INTEL at I.I.T. Delhi. Apart from winning a P-IV home P.C. he was selected to represent India at the International Science & Engineering Fair held at Louis Ville, Kentucky U.S.A. in May'02 where participants from more than 50 countries took part. This fair is considered to be the Olympics of Science Fairs.

While in U.S.A. he had the opportunity to visit some educational institutions and universities and he was thrilled at the facilities available there as well as the wide range of courses available for undertaking studies at graduation level. Since then he is nurturing the desire to study in U.S.A. He is accordingly also preparing for SAT exams.

Academically he is a bright student. He also takes active part in sports and extra curricular activities and has many firsts to his credit in these areas viz: Debates, elocution etc.

I am an engineer employed in SAIL, Rourkela Steel Plant for last 24 years. Besides Vaibhav I have another son who is studying in class-IX. My wife is an English teacher in the same school. I do not have the resources to fulfill his dreams for studies abroad at the under graduate level.
With above background I would be highly grateful if a scholarship or sponsorship is arranged for his studies by your esteemed Company M/S Reliance Industries Ltd. so that he could bring laurels to the country in future by dint of his hard work. You would agree with me that in these fields of study, India does not provide any world class Institutions. I am aware that M/S RIL looks to tap and nurture such budding talents. Who knows, tomorrow Vaibhav could feature in one of your new Fertilizer/environmental ventures.
My search in the Internet also has met with little or no success thus far. I hope I can rely upon your Company.
Best regards Arvind Gupta, G-26 Sector-2 Rourkela 769006,Orissa, Landline: 0661-2476321 e-mail: rkl_arvindg@sancharnet.in

Mr. Arvind Gupta,

Well you have posted the message at the wrong place, this is my personal website. Well I would love to forward this message to Reliance Industries if I had access, unfortunately I don't.

If anybody out there reads this message and has the ability to send the message to the right place please do the same.

Sorry, to write you, but I coluld not hold me back although I was asking myself last 2 months that should I or should I not go for Reliance Mobil connection?

A Sales & marketing professional who just returned back after 7yrs of living in different places i.e. SF, USA, Montreal-Canada & lastly Shanghai-china, having a unforgetable experience of service from different Mobil service providers.

Who at last went for a Relience post paid connection on 5th Dec 2006 from Airoli, Navi Mumbai, since then contacted customer care dept & visited more than 6 times web world but did not get any results excepts false assurence.

it's almost 12 days past that my mobil has not been activated for my use. Being a Vice Persident- operation of a leading in vitro diagnostics company from Mumbai ( M/s.Transasia Bio- Medicals, 8, Chandivali Studio road, Andheri (east) Mumbai -400072, Direct line- 40309093), I am sorry to say that if this is the quality of service of a famous company who are engaged in service industries, than i have nothing to say about it. Rather I would prefer to go for other.

Regards,

Argheyaa B Mitra

Hi Sir,
I filled Form No : 2315970540 for ownership change of mobile No 9342536519 on 25Oct (from my father name Gurdeep Singh to mine Amit Kaur). I submitted all documents needed for this change as told by customer representative at Web World express alongwith my photos, identity proof , ration card, bill copy.Billing Address was not to changed.
I was told that this request will be resolved within 7 days. This request was applied in Kota, Rajasthan. After 2 weeks I called at customer care for status of this request and they said there is no such information in their records. I need to contact same Web World to know about status. I am in Bangalore and can not go and ask about status of this request personally. Now its almost 1 month and I have not got any sms regarding this request.
I got reciept of my reques which had seal with following details :
Reliance Web World Exprees
R.S.INFOCOMM
9074480027

I logged complain through mail on 23Nov'2006 and got reply they are working on it and will respond in 2 working days. Since then I am mailing regularly to get updated status. Each time I get just one reply :

In reference to your mail regarding Transfer of Ownership, please note that your complaint is logged against transaction ID 42065165. We are working on it and will respond to you shortly.

No one revert back after this untill I mail again to ask about status. I mailed serviceassurancecell@relianceada.com more than 5 times but have not got any satisfactory results.
Since I am also a Software Engineer I dont understand delay in responding to customer complaint.
Request which was supposed to take 7 working days has taken almost 2 months and its complaint has taken 1 month.

Please take care of this request immediately and update me about its status.

Thanks,
Amit Kaur

Sun unveils radical re-think of software strategy

Sun Microsystems officially launched an oft-discussed radical revamp of its software strategy during its SunNetwork conference in San Francisco yesterday.

This Article talks in the lines of what Rajesh Jain talks about Thin Client/Think Server concept. I wonder if SUN got its idea from his blogger.

The new integrated desktop, server and developer packages were unveiled under a new Sun Java System banner. Sun officials claimed that the new product line brings 225 separate products into the six Java System bundles, which include Sun Java Enterprise System (code-named "Project Orion"), the Sun Java Desktop System (code-named "Mad Hatter"), Java Studio (its developer toolset), the Sun Java Mobility System, the Sun Java Card System, and Sun N1 for dynamic and utility computing, amazingly even the pricing concept also.

The Java Enterprise System package combines Sun's entire network services architecture, including the SunONE Directory, Application Server and a suite of Java 2 Enterprise Edition applications that includes Identification/Access Server, Portal Server, E-mail/Messaging Server, Calendar Server, Instant Messaging, Collaboration Server and the Solaris operating system.

The Sun Java Desktop System runs on the open-source Linux operating system and combines several client applications, including the new StarOffice 7, the Mozilla open-source browser, a full-featured e-mail and collaboration suite, RealNetworks' RealONE player and Macromedia Flash.

Sun Java Studio Enterprise is a set of developer tools for the Sun Java Enterprise System. It includes an IDE, connector builders, plug-ins and the full Sun Java Enterprise System runtime. Sun folded its SunONE Studio tools into this package, and is phasing out the SunONE name

The Java Desktop System is priced at $100 per desktop, or $50 per employee per year. In addition, the Studio product is priced at $5 per employee if bought with the Java Enterprise System, or $1,895 if purchased separately.

BPM Graphical Designer Study - I

I started going arround Sourceforge and came across this beautiful graphic tool JGraph which has a solid base of Graphical represenation stuff, along with a editor JGraphPad. Its facinating to find that there are lots of people contributing to open source in such an amazing manner to develop cool stuff. I can use this tool as a foundation for Visual Biz-ic development.

For that purpose, as there is no proper documentation availabe, first of all I need to read up the available articles and documents and then understand all the api's thoroughly and its like I need to get the whole api on finger tips and be able to extend it for my purpose of tool development.

Well, this JGraphPad is going to be one of the component of the Visual Biz-ic. JBPMGraph has the following pacakges

org.jgraph
org.jgraph.layout
org.jgraph.net
org.jgraph.pad
org.jgraph.pad.actions
org.jgraph.pad.resources
org.jgraph.utils
org.jgraph.utils.gui

which looks like a combination of both JGraph and JGraphPad.

Paying Spammers Not to Spam!

Wired News Writes:
Founders of a new antispam service say they have developed a system to convince spammers to remove specific e-mail addresses from their mailing lists, but two major spam-fighting groups are warning potential subscribers to stay away.

The service, offered by San Antonio, Texas-based Global Removal, charges subscribers a $5 lifetime fee to have their e-mail addresses put on a permanent do-not-spam list. Addresses on the list are then compared with, and removed from, mailing lists maintained by Global Removal's partnering businesses -- more than 50 known spammers and an equal number of legitimate e-mail marketers.

BPM - Half Full or Half Empty?

An artilce on EAIJournal about BPM. It talks about how Software Development has progressed from Monolithic applications to Client/Server, 3 tier(Client/Business Logic/Model) and now getting evolved into 4 tier(Cleint/{Process Logic / Business Logic }/Model).

The article discusses about the advantages and pit falls of the new Process Logic layer. Talks about the concept of Colloborative BPM.

--> Work Flow represents the oldest category and is defined by the structured orchestration of tasks or documents between people.
--> EAI can be viewed as the structured orchestration of actions or data
between systems.
--> BPM represents the combination of workflow and EAI cataegoreis

The article discusses CBPM as the solution. CBPM suits processes that are highly non-liner processes and requires human judgement.

BPM is an integral part of what constitues SOA (Service oriented Architecture). Its evolving along with other parts of it. I think it will be early to make judegemnts on this, as what is good and bad about it. Give it some time to mature and than we can disect this.
Having said that it does raise some interesting aspects at an early stage of SOA adoption.

And CBPM looks interesting... something to explore.. i presume.

Setting up own stuff!

In my new apartment, i am setting up my book racks, computer/study table and slowly furnishing it with all the stuff like sofa, love seat and slowly buying stuff. It actually feels exciting, and I am setting the whole stuff with a view of setting up office at home and may be able to employ people in the near future and get the things rolling. The experience of thinking as an entreprenuer is really awesome and the process is too exciting to quit.

Why Linux?

An article on why linux is becoming darling of every industry and why you should love and marry linux!

Why Linux Rocks For ISVs

It offers a firm foundation for building Web services and Internet-based applications.


More competition means lower costs for customers.


It's easy to leverage J2EE and other open-systems standards.


Applications are all Web-based, so apart from a browser, no client software is required, and they can be used across Windows and Unix servers.


Open-system toolsets mean freedom of choice for developers, as well as less costly tools.

Bhagavan Jab Deta Hai, Chappar phad ke deta hai!

Well, yes it been a very satisfiying day. Talked to Rajesh and Reena in the morning, and its a wonderful feeling talking to a successful visionary like Rajesh and an accomplished person like Reena. The best thing that Rajesh told was 'You guys completely understood what I am talking about, I had a tough time explaing people what it is all about.' This thing is like a validation of our thoughts from Visionary and its an amazing feeling. Looks like my CAN-I is working and I want it to work more and more and generate lots of ideas.

In the evening talked to Mark and Kishan. That was an awesome discussion, and looks like we can work out something really really cool and may be come up with a team or something like that in the near future and may be brainstorm more and merge ideas and come up with some workable solution.

Its an awesomeda, a day to remember, as a turning point in life.

Working with Idiots can kill you!

View image

I personally feel that, this is true to some extent. This thing usually happens when you are in a position that you cannot actually control the person. But you should find ways to get over this problem if it becomes imperative to work with them and find ways to actually let that kind of stress out through some channels like discussing with your boss about the problem and if you are the boss, may be you should get rid of the resource (which I did even when I was not the boss.)

Drawback of working in a cubicle

10. Being told to "think outside the box" when you're in a freakin' box all day long.

9. Not being able to check e-mail attachments without turning around to see who's behind you.

8. Cubicle walls do not offer much protection from any kind of gunfire.

7. That nagging feeling that if you press the right button, you'll get a piece of cheese.

6. Lack of roof rafters for the noose.

5. The walls are too close together for the hammock to work right.

4. 23 power cords - 1 outlet.

3. Prison cells are not only bigger, they also have beds.

2. The carpet has been there since 1976 and shows more signs of life than your coworkers.

And the number 1 drawback to working in a cubicle is...

1. You can't walk out and slam the door when you quit.


I need to find a job where I can slam a door when i quit ;-)

Bruce Tate Talk!

Bruce Tate, author of Bitter java, Bitter EJB, currently writing a book on Hybernate gave an awesoem speech in JavaMug meeting yesterday, the best speech until now in 2003.

The best of the speech is that I got clarified that Hybernate is the way to go for OR mapping, despite it being a open source product. Well, with the current following it is having in the market, its going to be darling of open source for next couple of years and so should be very much ok to rely on. After a couple of years the app. servers are going to get so matures that you can plug in and out any persistance frame work and play with them. As of now, Hybernate is the way to go.

Me in TimesSquare before NASDAQ!

It was a real emotional moment, I was all pumped up at Times Square. I just wondered when i saw the pics from NYC, its been long time that I had such energetic smile on my face. NYC really pumped me up to new spirits, its a wonderful city. The struggles of recession in US has taken away smiles from almost everybodys face, i guess even from mine and I am so excited to see my brand of graceful look.

BPM Presenation

Wow, finally today made a presentation on BPM in webservices user group. Ismael Ghalimi, frounder of www.bpmi.org participated from CA, via speaker phone. I handled the presentation material for him. He gave a presentation for about an hour covering the basics of BPML, BPEL, BPEL4WS, BPMN etc. I found out that it was very stressful on the part of the listeners as they have to put all their ears and listen to the speaker phone. Its kind of experiement, which would have been really good if the speaker phone was good and may be connected to mike so that its more audible.

After that Srihari made the second part of the
BPM Presenation. He typically talked about the practical usages, implementations of BPML related specifications. It is one of the best presentations i have ever heard in these user groups. I wish I could have carried a audio tape recorder for the presentation. It was really good presentation.

Private and Confidential From Robert Holley

Greetings From Robert Holley. Writing to seek your consent in a private and confidential matter regarding some funds unaccounted for in my bank here in South Africa during the last 2005 business year. I need assistance from a trust worthy and reliable person whom I will fill in as the beneficiary. Your major role would be to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money and get 30% of the total funds as commission. There are practically no risks involved,

the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law, it will be simply a bank-to-bank transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as the beneficiary of these funds who made the deposit with my branch so that my head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account under few working days. I am Mr. Robert Holley,

the regional manager of AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK (AFDB),and I write you this proposal in good faith; I am married with five lovely kids. It is my duty as the regional manager to send in financial report to my head office in the capital city at the end of each business year. On the course of the last year 2005 business report, I discovered the sum of Twenty six million eight hundred and fifty thousand united state dollars 26,850,000.00 belonging to a foreigner Industrialist Kenneth Gardner who died without a beneficiary, in my branch in which I am the manager. Our head office is not aware of and will never be aware of it.

I have placed this funds on what we call escrow call account with no beneficiary and as an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money, hence i contacted you. If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very much as you are the first and the only person I am contacting for this transaction. We will start the first transfer with sixteen million dollars, upon successful transaction with out any disappointment from your side,

we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your account. At this juncture i wish to tell you what prompted me to package this deal. I have a 9-year old daughter who has leukemia, disease of the blood, and she needs a bone marrow transplant or she will die. I want this transplanting to be done in any good children hospital in your country if there is one. Once this fund is transferred into your account,

I shall resign from my job and bring my family to start a new life in your country. I would be grateful if you would help me in looking out for good investment opportunities with my own part of the money in a profitable business. I have worked for this bank for the past 15 years yet I have nothing to show for it, I really need your assistance to secure this fund as soon as possible.

Send me Mail as soon as you receive this message if you think we can work together, so that we can go over the details. Send also your Private Mobile and fax numbers for a more proper elaboration.

Truly yours
Robert Holley.

Making Software Service same as cellular service!

While going through Reuters Report and Rajesh Jains TECH TALK: The Next Billion: From Where? , I started thinking about the possibility of next billion computers. According to Rajesh the next billion computers can be only from the developing countries and emerging markets. Now how can we tap into that market?

Last weekend I went to Tulsa, OK, to meet Prasad and family and there I came across a business model where the whole hardware/infrastructure is given away free of cost and charge for the service. This helps to penetrate into the current tough markets where there is no money. The same rule can be applied to the markets which are not yet tapped in developing markets. The major issue for these markets is, the SME's will not be ready to invest huge amounts of money into hardware and software and experiment. So taking risk is the biggest mental block for these SME's. What if, we can take that risk away from them by giving away hardware freely or by giving the hardware at nominal rates based on the service contract of a couple of years. It is just like extending the Cellular phone business model to the Software service industry and tap into the billiions of dollars SME's market.

Hope somebody is listening and going to give me the chance to experiement in this direction.

Re-Engineering Security

An article on CIO Insight.

No surprise, says Christopher Klaus, CTO of Atlanta-based Internet Security Systems Inc: "When you total how much it would cost to roll out security patches rigorously in a Fortune 1,000 environment, the result could easily be more than $20 million. Say it takes four hours to install each patch and make sure the applications still work. Say you're paying someone $80 an hour to do this and it costs $320 to patch that one machine and you have 1,000 servers in your environment. That's now $320,000. Multiply that by a conservative estimate of five as the number of Microsoft and Linux and Cisco and Oracle patches each month, multiply that again by 12 months, and it's about $20 million." Most, Klaus says, would not even try due to sheer cost and manpower considerations. And according to a recent CERT report, many system administrators don't install all the security patches issued "because they don't know how, do not have the resources, do not maintain all of the computers or have computer users who will not let them."
