GOOGLE " THE REAL GOD "

2010-03-13T15:59:00.000-08:00

Who is GOD ?? Someone something who has got answers to all our queries ?? well in today's time when Information is everything --- -"GOOGLE" sure claim its righteous place ....
PROOF #1

Google is the closest thing to an Omniscient (all-knowing) entity in existence, which can be scientifically verified. She ( I prefer to call "HE" ) indexes over 9.5 billion WebPages, which is more than any other search engine on the web today. Not only is Google the closest known entity to being Omniscient, but She also sorts through this vast amount of knowledge using Her patented PageRank technology, organizing said data and making it easily accessible to us mere mortals.
PROOF #2

Google is everywhere at once (Omnipresent). Google is virtually everywhere on earth at the same time. Billions of indexed WebPages hosted from every corner of the earth. With the proliferation of Wi-Fi networks, one will eventually be able to access Google from anywhere on earth, truly making Her an omnipresent entity.
PROOF #3
Google answers prayers. One can pray to Google by doing a search for whatever question or problem is plaguing them. As an example, you can quickly find information on alternative cancer treatments, ways to improve your health, new and innovative medical discoveries and generally anything that resembles a typical prayer. Ask Google and She will show you the way, but showing you is all She can do, for you must help yourself from that point on.
PROOF #4

Google is potentially immortal. She cannot be considered a physical being such as ourselves. Her Algorithms are spread out across many servers; if any of which were taken down or damaged, another would undoubtedly take its place. Google can theoretically last forever.
PROOF #5

Google is infinite. The Internet can theoretically grow forever, and Google will forever index its infinite growth.
PROOF #6

Google remembers all. Google caches WebPages regularly and stores them on its massive servers. In fact, by uploading your thoughts and opinions to the internet, you will forever live on in Google's cache, even after you die, in a sort of "Google Afterlife".
PROOF #7
Google can "do no evil" (Omnibenevolent). Part of Google's corporate philosophy is the belief that a company can make money without being evil.
PROOF #8
According to Google trends, the term "Google" is searched for more than the terms "God", "Jesus", "Allah", "Buddha", "Christianity", "Islam", "Buddhism" and "Judaism" combined.

PROOF #9
Evidence of Google's existence is abundant. There is more evidence for the existence of Google than any other God worshiped today. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If seeing is believing, then surf over to www.google.com and experience for yourself Google's awesome power. No faith required.

A Short 'HACKERSPEAK' Glossary

A reference to a few of the terms used by many computer hackers.

(Researched and compiled by members of the Hollywood User Group)

arg - (argh) noun. An argument, in the mathematical sense.

automagically - adverb. Automatically, but in a way which, for some

reason (for example, because it's too complicated or too trivial) the

speaker doesn't feel like explaining.

bells and whistles - n. Unnecessary (but often convenient, useful,

good-looking, or amusing) features of a program or other object. Added

to a bare-bones, working program.

bit - n. 1) A unit of information obtained by asking a question (e.g.

- 'I need a few bits about Punter protocol') 2) A mental flag;

reminder that something should be done eventually.

buffer - verb. The act of saving or setting aside something to be done

later. (e.g. - 'I'm going to buffer that and go eat now').

bug - n. A problem or mistake; unwanted property or side effect.

Usually of a program, but can refer to a person. Can be very simple or

very complicated. Antonym: FEATURE.

bum - v. To improve something by rearranging or removing its parts.

Most often done to a program to increase speed or save memory space,

usually at the expense of clarity.

buzz - v. Of a program, to run without visible progress or certainty

of finishing. Resembles CATATONIA except that a buzzing loop may

eventually end.

canonical - (ki NAHN i kil) adjective. Standard, usual or ordinary way

of doing something.

catatonia - n. A condition in which something is supposed to happen,

but nothing does. (e.g. - Nothing you type will appear on the screen.

It's catatonic. Often means a CRASH has occured.)

crash - 1) n. Sudden, drastic failure. Usually refers to a complete

computer system or program. 2) v. To fail suddenly or cause to fail.

3) v. Of people, to go to sleep.

creeping featurism - n. Tendency for anything complicated to become

even more so because people keep saying, 'Hey, it would be terrific if

the program had this feature, and could do this, and...' The result is

a patchwork program, confusing to read, with a lot of 'neat' features.

crock - n. Said of a program that works, but in an extremely awkward

or cumbersome manner.

crunch - v. To process, usually in a time-consuming, complex way.

Example: Performing large, repetitive numerical computations is called

'number crunching'. 2) v. To reduce the size of a file (often in a

complicated way) to save space.

dec'ed out - (decked out) adj. Stoned, drunk (and possibly trying to

program, regardless). Uncomplimentary. Derives from the 65-- series

ML opcode DECrement, i.e.: decrease a value.

elegant - adj. Said of a piece of code that does the RIGHT THING in a

way beautiful to look at.

feature - n. An extra property or behaviour added to a program that

already does the job. May or may not be useful, necessary or

convenient.

fencepost error - n. A mathematical 'off-by-one' error. Most often

found in programs that must count loops (it will count one time too

many, or too few). Term comes from the problem: 'If you build a fence

100 feet long with posts 10 feet apart, how many posts fo you need?'

Example: Suppose you want to process an array of items x thru y. How

many are there? The correct answer is x-y+1 (not x-y, which would be

off by one).

flavor - n. variety, kind, type. (flavorful - adj. Aesthetically

pleasing).

flush - v. To scratch, delete or destroy something. Often something

superfluous or useless.

fudge - v. Perform in an incomplete, but marginally acceptable way.

'I fudged it, so it works.'

GC - (jee see) 1) v. To clean up, throw away useless things. 2) To

forget. GC is an abreviation of the term 'Garbage Collection', the

common method of freeing up memory space.

or program function. Usually happens only when you pray that it

doesn't.

grovel - v. To work interminably, examine minutely or in extreme

detail.

gun - v. To forcibly terminate a program. 'It was a boring display,

so I gunned it.'

hack - n. An appropriate application of ingenuity. It could be a

A clever technique.

hack value - n. The motivation for expending effort and time toward a

seemingly pointless goal, the point being the resulting hack.

hack attack - n. Period of greatly increased hacking activity. Not to

be confused with a Mac-Attack.

hacker - n. 1) One who greatly enjoys learning the details of a

computer system and how to stretch their capabilities (as opposed to

REAL USERS who learn only the minimum amount necessary). 2) One who

programs enthusiastically, rather than just theorizing about it. 3)

malicious or inquisitive meddler (in the case of a 'system hacker' or a

'password hacker').

inc it up - (also 'incing') v. Specifically related to studying,

reading, or learning ML. Derives from the 65-- series ML instruction

moby - 1) adj. Immense, complex, or impressive. 2) n. Total size of

a computers address space.

mode - n. A general state. Examples: DAY MODE - state a person is in

when s/he is working days and sleeping nights.

complicated to put into words or has not been thought out. Can

indicate a reluctance to enter a long discussion.

mumblage - n. The subject matter of one's mumbling. Replaces 'all

that stuff'.

nop around (or nopping) - v. Hanging out; not doing much; not

programming. Derives from the 65-- series ML instruction code 'NOP'

use, do, say, etc.

rude - (rood or roo-day) adj. Programs badly written or functionally

poor.

sacred - adj. Reserved for the exclusive use of something. Usually

Microsoft's Latest Threat: VMware

2009-09-10T20:31:00.000-07:00

microsoft's No. 1 rival is a household name, Google. But a strong candidate for No. 2 is a company scarcely known outside the technology industry: VMware.

"VMware is definitely a threat," said Gary Chen, an analyst at IDC, a research firm. "After Google, it is the company Microsoft fears most."

Google and VMware, which is based in Palo Alto, California, pose a broadly similar challenge to Microsoft, by potentially undermining the dominance of its most lucrative desktop software and operating systems. Google represents the attack from above, while VMware is the assault from beneath.

Google, the search giant, is offering free and advertising-supported software for e-mail, word processing, calendars and spreadsheets online as alternatives to Microsoft's popular Office products. For Web-based programs like these, it is the browser -- not an operating system like Windows -- that is the vital layer of software on the computer.

VMware is the leader in so-called virtual machine software, which allows a computer to run two or more operating systems at once. Its software resides on top of the hardware and beneath the operating system.

But as VMware's technology becomes more powerful and adds more features to its products, it is starting to supplant the operating system from below -- just as the browser can from above.

VMware's leadership adds an edge to its challenge. A year ago, Paul Maritz, a former senior executive at Microsoft, took over as chief executive. In the late 1990s, he was regarded as Microsoft's third-ranked executive, the person with the most responsibility and authority after Bill Gates and Steven A. Ballmer.

Motorola Unveils Android-Powered MOTOBLUR Platform

2009-09-10T20:27:00.000-07:00

Motorola is moving to make a comeback with new phones based on the Android operating system. Motorola unveiled its MOTOBLUR vision and its first device at the GigaOM Mobilize '09 Conference in San Francisco on Thursday.

MOTOBLUR will debut on Motorola's new 3G Android-powered device -- the Motorola CLIQ in the U.S. and Motorola DEXT in international markets -- later this year.

"With MOTOBLUR we are differentiating the Android experience for consumers by delivering a unique mobile-device experience designed around the way people interact today," said Sanjay Jha, co-CEO of Motorola and CEO of the company's mobile-devices division. "MOTOBLUR, which will be available on our first Android-powered device and on multiple Android devices in our upcoming portfolio, helps us to create phones that are instinctive, social and smart."

Sort of Like webOS?

Motorola said it leveraged its experience with Linux and open platforms to design MOTOBLUR. Motorola's rendition of an Android-powered platform focuses on fexibility across devices with multiple carrier partners.

Motorola is billing MOTOBLUR as the first and only solution to sync contacts, posts, messages, news, photos and other content from social networks like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter and e-mail -- and deliver the content to the home screen. The concept is similar to Palm's webOS Synergy feature.

With MOTOBLUR, content is fed into streams that aim to allow consumers to spend less time managing messages. MOTOBLUR updates changes that contacts make to their information. When consumers make or receive a phone call, the caller's latest profile picture and status is shown on the screen. And in the contacts view, consumers can see their communication history and the latest social updates for each person. Contacts are backed up on a MOTOBLUR server.

Google seeks faster Web

2009-06-25T21:05:00.000-07:00

Google has set a battle cry for the Internet: "Let's make the Web faster."

In a campaign launched late Tuesday afternoon, the company stressed the need for a cooperative effort to improve Web performance in areas such as protocols.

[ Google's effort could be boosted by protocols like the forthcoming HTML 5. ]

"We are excited to discuss what we've learned about Web performance with the Internet community, said Urs Hoelzle, Google senior vice president of operations, and Bill Coughran, senior vice president of engineering, in a blog post. "However, to optimize the speed of Web applications and make browsing the Web as fast as turning the pages of a magazine, we need to work together as a community to tackle some larger challenges that keep the Web slow and prevent it from delivering its full potential."

As part of the effort, Google is offering a Web site, code.google.com/speed, for Web developers that offers tutorials, tips, and performance tools.

"I think speed really does matter," said Google Vice President of Engineering Vic Gundotra in a video accompanying the campaign rollout. "And I think users are able to discern even very small differences in latency and speed."

The industry is just at the beginning of how fast the Web could be, he said. Such activities as watching high-definition movies, uploading pictures, and running complex JavaScript applications should be instantaneous, said Gundotra.

Google said it needs to work with others to move the Inernet forward. Efforts will involve collaborating with developers, ISPs and standards bodies and could involve developing enhancements or alternatives to TCP/IP and HTTP.

One area of particular focus is updating of protocols.

"Many protocols that power the Internet and the Web were developed when broadband and rich interactive Web apps were in their infancy. Networks have become much faster in the past 20 years, and by collaborating to update protocols such as HTML and TCP/IP, we can create a better Web experience for everyone," the Google officials said.

One example of a community effort cited by Google is development of the HTML 5 protocol, featuring AppCache for writing JavaScript-heavy Web applications to run instantly. Browser developers and communities need to keep focusing on JavaScript performance improvements, Google said.

New tools, such as Yahoo YSlow and Google Page Speed, are needed for Web developers to build faster, more responsive Web applications, according to Google. Company officials also cited low broadband penetration as an issue to be addressed by the industry.

Google's faster Web effort is "definitely worth it," said analyst Michael Cote of RedMonk. "It's a good foil to folks like Microsoft and Adobe who are going after the same set of people with their RIA (rich Internet applications) and HTML/AJAX platforms."

"Google has the luxury with their crazy advertising revenue to subsidize non-revenue-producing efforts like this well, which ultimately helps drive developers toward 'The Google Stack,' " Cote said.

cost of windows seven=$120

2009-06-25T21:00:00.000-07:00

Microsoft's pricing of Windows 7 threatens to derail its efforts to move users off the aging Windows XP and make them forget the bad taste of Vista, a retail research analyst said today.

"I'm very disappointed in the upgrade pricing," said Stephen Baker, an analyst with the NPD Group. "I would have much rather seen Microsoft come out aggressive, and wipe the world clean of all the Vista problems."

Earlier today, Microsoft unveiled list prices for Windows 7, which put the lowest-priced upgrade -- an edition of Windows 7 Home Premium -- at $119.99, a price cut of less than 8% from Vista's comparable version.

"That $120 is a pretty big nut, especially when you can buy a new PC for around $300," said Baker, who's dubious about Microsoft's upgrade pricing.

Earlier on Thursday, Baker took Microsoft to task over pricing in a post to the NPD company blog, calling $120 "way too much for the software" and adding that Microsoft could hamper migration to the new OS. "It is in Microsoft's best interests to erase all vestiges of Vista from consumers' homes, and by making the upgrade expensive, and a bit painful, Microsoft is creating a large disincentive for consumers to move to a far superior platform with a better user experience," Baker said.

He also slammed Microsoft for not providing a multi-license offer for upgrading all of a family's PCs. "In a world, at least in the U.S., where most homes are moving into a multiple PC environment, it would enhance the consumer home experience if they could upgrade all their home PCs at a single low price with a single boxed purchase," Baker said.

Baker compared Microsoft's pricing and lack of a "family pack" to Apple's aggressive moves at the beginning of the month when it announced that Mac OS X 10.6, the performance and stability upgrade known as "Snow Leopard," would be priced at just $29 for a single-user license, $49 for a five-license pack. Apple traditionally charges $129 for an operating system upgrade.

"Apple's Snow Leopard pricing model is much more appropriate to driving adoption and raising customer satisfaction levels," argued Baker. "This is a direction I would have much preferred to see Microsoft head."

Microsoft's response, when asked if it was planning a family-pack for Windows 7, was noncommittal. "We expect to have other great offers in the future as we lead up to and beyond general availability," a spokeswoman said via instant messaging. "[But] we have nothing to announce at this time."

On the bright side, said Baker, Microsoft has so far managed the rollout of Windows 7 "pretty darn well," especially when compared to the disaster of Vista, which launched in January 2007, one of the worst-possible months to introduce an operating system at retail.

NVIDIA Quadro Plex 2200 Dedicated Desk-side Visual Computing System (VCS)

2009-04-14T02:33:00.000-07:00

The Quadro Plex 2200 is not an average consumer platform in any sense, and you’re not likely to find it in or around many hardcore gaming enthusiasts’ vicinity. However, it’s such a powerful and unique setup that it deserves the attention of the masses. While we’re familiar with the Quadro branch of NVIDIA, which designs machines like this for high-end imaging businesses (3D design, CAD, etc.), what makes the Quadro Plex 2200 special is the use of two or four state of the art NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800 GPUs for an 8GB or 16GB memory capacity (frame buffer) as a ready-made solution.

Earlier this year Lenovo released their ThinkPad X300, a great notebook for the business minded. Recently, the X300 has been updated to the ThinkPad X301 model. With many improvements from its already great predecessor, you can expect great things from the X301.

When it comes to design, the Lenovo X301 has the same look as most other ThinkPad notebooks that have come before it. It’s a personal choice if you like the ThinkPad design. Some think it’s dull, some people believe it to be simple and effective. It’s a matter of opinion either way. However, there’s no argument that ThinkPad machines have some strong characteristics that stand out from the competition. The X301 laptop weighs a little less than 3.5lbs with an 8X DVD burner and a 6-cell battery equipped. The X301’s exterior is squared off and has a matte black finish. It’s dimensions are 12.5 x 9.1 x 0.9, and just like it’s predecessor the X300, the sides are slightly tapered. The X301 is a beautifully constructed machine with Lenovo’s internal roll cage design and a carbon and class fiber interior, which according to Lenovo, is not only stronger but lighter than titanium.

The keyboard deck and outer shell utilize a new rubberized soft touch paint which helps provide a more secure grip and a more comfortable feel. The X301 has all the regular connectors and ports with three USB 2.0, Ethernet, microphone and headphone jacks, DisplayPort, and a VGA connector. Unfortunately, no memory card slot is included with this laptop, which means you’ll have to use a USB card reader device or adapter to read from memory cards.

The X301 employs a LED-backlit, 13.3" (1440×900 resolution) display with a matte finish that prevents most glare. The high resolution certainly makes a difference when viewing documents and web pages, though the default text may be too small for some eyes. The backlit, low-reflectivity LED keeps the display legible when outdoors. Rich colors and wide viewing angles are available for watching DVDs and other content. The stereo speakers lacked low-end punch, but due to their close proximity (they’re located in the palmrest), the volume was clear and loud. Above the display is a 1.3 megapixel webcam that provided somewhat dark visuals when tested through video chat.

With the high resolution (1440×900) 13.3" screen, the X301 is great for surfing the web and viewing documents. The LED display is amazingly clear for viewing outdoors because it’s extremely low reflectivity negates glare. The ThinkPad X301 features wide viewing angles with rich colors, which makes watching a DVD or other content more enjoyable. The 1.3 megapixel camera (located above the display) was a little dark during the video chat tests performed via MSN Messenger.

In line with all the other ThinkPad models, the X301 features a magnificent keyboard that definitely ranks with the top runners in the business. The typing experience is excellent because the keyboard provides space in between individual keys. The X301 includes a touchpad and a pointing stick (located between the G and H keys) for navigation. The touchpad may be small for some users since the design accommodates for the larger keys. A biometric fingerprint reader is integrated to the right of the touchpad to help keep private business away from unauthorized individuals. Above the keyboard, you’ll notice buttons for volume, mute, ThinkVantage (for launching Lenovo’s system utilities), and, of course, the power button.

The base configuration is equipped with 2GB of RAM and an Intel Core 2 Due (1.4GHz) U9400 Ultra Low Voltage processor. The ThinkPad X301 achieved a PCMark Vantage score of 3157, which is 400 points higher than most ultraportables. It’s a great score, but still falls about 60 points shy of the Sony VAIO VGN-Z530N’s and almost 500 points shy of the Lenovo ThinkPad X200.
The X301 didn’t fare so well on all of its graphics tests. On the 3DMark03 benchmark, the X301 (which is powered by an Intel GMA X4500MHD graphics card) netted an 1812, a score that’s 400 points higher than its competitors and its predecessor the X300. However, the 3DMark06 score was 200 points less than other machines in its category. F.E.A.R was also tested in auto-detect mode, and the game ran at a miniscule 14fps. When the settings were increased to maximum, it ran at only 6fps. W.O.W ran at 27.4fps, which is okay, but it is important to remember that this is not a gaming laptop, and should not be expected to out perform Alienware, for example.

2009-04-02T23:09:00.000-07:00

NEW YORK, USA: General Electric Co and Intel Corp have joined forces to develop devices to help doctors monitor patients' health remotely, an area they believe could become a multibillion-dollar business.

The U.S. conglomerate and the world's largest chip maker will develop devices that they expect to save money by allowing healthcare workers to monitor the sick and the elderly outside of hospitals or medical offices.

They plan to invest $250 million in the field over the next five years.

"The digitization of healthcare is in the first inning," said Jeff Immelt, chief executive of GE, the world's largest maker of medical-imaging devices. "We think it's going to grow quickly."

It could become a "multibillion-dollar" business, he said.

By treating patients remotely, the venture aims to reduce the cost of healthcare for the elderly and people with chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, which require prolonged periods of treatment.

"Something like 80 percent of the spending today in the healthcare system is on chronic care patients," said Paul Otellini, CEO of Intel. "This has the potential to take that down dramatically because a day at home costs a heck of a lot less than a day in the hospital."

While there has been a lot of discussion about remote technology in the health industry, providers have been slow to implement it, in part because of concerns about a lack of standards in how the devices would communicate, said Andrew Rocklin, principal at Diamond Management and Technology Consulting in Chicago.

"GE is big enough and already has a distribution channel in place," Rocklin said. "If they can ramp up sales of this kind of tool quickly enough, the standards will follow."

The United States' stimulus package includes $20 billion in funding to modernize the health industry's record-keeping system, replacing billions of sheets of paper with a computerized record systems that could more easily communicate with one another.

GE is working on electronic medical records as well, and Immelt said the stimulus program could "tangentially" benefit the GE-Intel program by stimulating investment in healthcare technology.

Other big tech companies working on developing common healthcare information standards include Google Inc and Microsoft Corp.

Growing Niche

The two companies estimate current market demand for home healthcare amounts to $3 billion a year, a figure that they expect to grow to $7.7 billion by 2012.

The venture will likely mean little for GE in the immediate future, but could present an important growth vehicle over the long term, said Matt Collins, capital goods analyst at Edward Jones in St. Louis.

"Investors would be disappointed if they weren't thinking about long-term opportunities," Collins said.

GE and Intel already have products on the market aimed at filling this niche. GE's healthcare unit will take over distribution and marketing of Intel's Health Guide product.

That product allows physicians to check vital signs like blood pressure and weight remotely and to provide patients with reminders related to their health, such as when to take medicine.

GE offers QuietCare, a system primarily used in nursing homes that tracks residents' movements and can alert doctors to falls. GE's current home health-monitoring business generates less than $100 million in revenue, Immelt said.

Intel chose to join forces with GE because it already has a sizable operation selling healthcare products to institutional buyers like hospitals and insurance companies, which are the primary customers for these devices.

GE's healthcare arm, which Immelt headed before taking on the top job at the Fairfield, Connecticut-based company, also makes medical imaging devices like MRI machines. Profit at the unit last year fell 7 percent to $2.85 billion on revenue that rose 2 percent to $17.39 billion.

GE shares closed up 5.6 percent at $10.74 and Intel's rose 4.5 percent to $15.70 on a day that U.S. stocks were sharply higher amid investor hopes that efforts by the G20 would boost the world economy.

India 3G kicks off; but at what cost?

2009-01-16T01:40:00.000-08:00

NEW DELHI, INDIA: The process for the auction of 3G licences in India kicks off in January 2009. What valuation levels are likely to be achieved?

The key point to understand with regard to the 3G licence process is that there are two distinct forces at work. Firstly, there is the business case for 3G services in India.

Secondly and most importantly, there is the issue of spectrum scarcity in the country.

Let me address the business case for 3G services first. In simple terms I do not see a profitable standalone business case for pure 3G services for any operator in India. Evidence from around the world is overwhelmingly against such a 3G business case.

In Europe in 1999 and 2000 many bankers, including me, were scratching our collective heads and attempting to work with consultants and operators to build 3G business cases. These business cases resulted in licence costs of in excess of $8 billion in the UK and Germany.

Coupled with the bursting of the dotcom bubble, these excessive valuations drove the telecoms sector into a period of remission for the next three to four years.

Operators were overgeared and the business case for 3G, which included real-time football and cricket matches, online gambling and adult entertainment, just never materialized.

Part of the problem was a lack of available 3G handsets. This is very different today, but 3G handsets are still typically over $250, well beyond the reach of the substantial majority of mobile users in India.

The specialist 3G company 3, owned by Hutchison, quickly realized to its credit that it had to change its business case to a 2/2.5G company. Finally 3 is having some success in the UK with around 5 million subscribers.

Is there any hope for the pro-3G advocates? Well let's look at Hong Kong, the city with the perfect environment for 3G.

For the first time Hutchison now has more WCDMA (3G) subscribers there than GSM. Sadly all of the other operators' 3G subscribers are lagging their GSM subscriber base significantly.

If Hong Kong cannot be a 3G dominated market then most other markets have no chance.

India's main structural issue in mobile telecommunications is not users wanting to view real-time IPL on their expensive 3G handsets. It is a chronic shortage of spectrum availability in many circles at peak times. This is a problem largely unique to India.

We currently have operators busy modelling their investment and business cases. But 3G services are not the key issue in these models. Rather a detailed analysis of capital expenditure and revenues through additional 2 and 2.5G subscribers are at the forefront of operators' thinking.

Of course there will be a limited number of high-profile, high ARPU 3G subscribers. But these will be in the significant minority.

So look at the recent 2G spectrum process and resulting M&A transactions for clues on the licence values likely to be achieved. Two start-ups (Swan and Unitech) were able to generate valuation levels for their business in excess of $1 billion and over twice the cost of the spectrum initially acquired.

This sets reference points on a pan-India basis for the spectrum in the 3G licence process.

The 3G licence process in India will be a success. But the underlying reason will be a 2G one.

And finally India goes 3G

2008-12-11T06:13:00.000-08:00

The Prime Minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh, today launched the country's first (3G) mobile services in New Delhi that will provide high speed transfer of voice, data and video. He also inaugurated India Telecom 2008, India's leading international conference and exhibition for the entire telecom system. The two-day event is jointly organized by Department of Telecommunications and FICCI. The Prime Minister released a report prepared by Capgemini, the knowledge partner for this year's Telecom summit on the Indian telecom market. The Minister for Communications and IT, A. Raja made a video call to Dr. Singh using a 3G enabled handset signaling the debut of the high quality service in India. The video streaming applications like 'live TV' was also demonstrated at the inauguration. The public sector MTNL is rolling out the 3G service in the capital making use of the necessary Spectrum allocated to it by DOT. The services will be available early next year in Mumbai and Chennai. MTNL has used Motorola's next-generation 3G network infrastructure to implement the service. Speaking on the occasion, A Raja announced that within one year, all mobile phone subscribers in the country can switch from one operator to another operator providing better services while retaining their numbers. He informed that the DOT has accepted the Mobile Number Portability recommendations, which were pending since 2006. MNP is likely to be implemented in the Metros and category "A" circles by middle of 2009 and in the entire country by the end of 2009. Raja said that after migrating to revenue sharing regime, the telecom sector has contributed about Rs 50,000 crore through license fee, entry fee and spectrum charges till the end of last financial year. During this financial year alone, it is expected that about Rs 16,000 crore will be collected from the license fee and spectrum charges, he added. On the issue of new licenses, the Minister explained that the policy of "NO Cap" on number of service providers in a service area has been adopted as per the recommendations of TRAI. On further reduction of tariff, he said, TRAI has been requested to re-look into the existing Mobile Termination Charges, as the cost per line has substantially reduced due to technological advancement and increase in traffic. Minister of State for Communications and IT, Jyotiraditya M. Scindia and FICCI president Rajeev Chandrasekhar also attended the function.

it & market falldown

2008-11-30T04:49:00.000-08:00

As IT demand from businesses shows signs of slowing down, solution providers are taking measures to counter the downturn.

“We did exceedingly well in the first half of the year, and according to our knowledge, many of our peers are also not complaining,” commented A L Srinath, CEO of the Hyderabad-based Shell Networks. “However, what’s in store for us in the next six months is a million-dollar question.”
“There is no doubt that the situation in the US will reflect on the Indian economy. I feel that the real impact will be felt only three months from now,” opined Navin Kapur, Managing Director of Iris Unified Learning, a Delhi-based software solution provider.
K V Jagannath, CEO of Hyderabad-based systems integrator, Choice Solutions said, “We were quite positive about the market situation till a month back. In fact, we had a great first half with our revenues growing well over 50 percent. There will, no doubt, be some difficulties in the days ahead, but I am still bullish that with the right strategies we can overcome the issues.”
The first signs of a cash crunch were felt when many enterprises, during the first quarter of the financial year, insisted on shifting 30-day payment terms to 45 days and later to 90 days. “This movement was the first signal. However, we feel that by spreading yourself wide and engaging with smaller customers—whose payment terms are better—you can still offset the credit squeeze,” said Jagannath. Choice has already taken steps to handle any potential slowdown. This includes staying away from some of the MNC vendors, where margins are likely to be lower, and increasing their share of business from services.

Outsourcing

2008-11-24T02:05:00.000-08:00

A research by Gartner forecasts India as the undisputed leader in the outsourcing space in the year 2008. The Outsourcing Service Provider Performance Study 2007, undertaken by sourcing advisory firm Equa Terra, reported that the majority of UK businesses offshore all or parts of their IT functions to India and plan to continue with this strategy as India continued to be the favourite outsourcing destination for businesses in UK in terms of satisfaction.
India's most prized resource is its readily available technical work force. India has the second largest English-speaking scientific professionals in the world, second only to the US. It is estimated that India has over 4 million technical workers, over 1,832 educational institutions and polytechnics, which train more than 67,785 computer software professionals every year. The enormous base of skilled manpower is a major draw for global customers. According to a Gartner study, India remains the undisputed leader in offshore services and tops the list of 30 countries on criteria's such as language, government support, labour pool, infrastructure, educational system, cost, political and economic environment, cultural compatibility, global and legal maturity, and data and intellectual property, security and privacy.
Twenty-nine India-based companies including Tata Consultancy Services, HCL Technologies, Genpact, and WNS Global Services amongst others, have been listed among the best 100 IT service providers in a new survey carried out with a view to assist business heads of major outsourcers identify reliable, innovative and tech-savvy partners.

Information Technology

2008-11-24T02:03:00.000-08:00

The information technology industry has truly transformed the way the world looks at India. Rapidly capturing global imagination, the success of its IT industry has placed India at the forefront of the emerging global knowledge economy. According to the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM), the apex body for software services in India, the revenue of the information technology sector has grown from 1.2 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in FY 1998 to an estimated 5.5 per cent in FY 2008. The net value added by this sector, to the economy, is estimated to be 3.3 to 3.9 per cent for FY 2008.
India's IT growth in the world is primarily dominated by IT software and services such as Custom Application Development and Maintenance (CADM), System Integration, IT Consulting, Application Management, Infrastructure Management Services, Software testing, Service-oriented architecture and Web services.
The government expects the exports turnover to touch US$ 80 billion by 2011, growing at an annual rate of 30 per cent per annum, from the earlier few million dollars worth exports in early 1990s.

Banking

2008-11-24T01:53:00.000-08:00

The banking sector is the most dominant sector of the financial system in India, and with good valuations and increasing profits, the sector has been among the top performers in the markets. According to a FICCI survey, the chief strong point of the Indian banking industry is the regulatory system, which has enabled India to carve a place for itself in the global banking scene. The regulatory systems of Indian banks are rated above China and Russia; and at par with Japan and Singapore.
The public sector banks (PSBs) maintained its dominance in the banking system. As on March 31, 2008, PSBs accounted for 69.9 per cent of the aggregate assets and 72.7 per cent of the aggregate advances of the Scheduled Commercial Banking (SCB) system. An exceptional feature of the reform of the public sector banks was the course of their financial restructuring.
Furthermore, a report "Opportunities in Indian Banking Sector", by market research company, RNCOS, forecasts that the Indian banking sector will grow at a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 23.3 per cent till 2011.
Banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), together account for 38 per cent of India's outsourcing industry (worth US$ 47.8 billion in 2007). According to a report by McKinsey and NASSCOM, India has the potential to process 30 per cent of the banking transactions in the US by the year 2010. Outsourcing by the BFSI to India is expected to grow at an annual rate of 30–35 per cent.

Auto Components

2008-11-24T01:51:00.000-08:00

The Indian automobile components industry has come a long way since the country's economic liberalisation which opened up the sector in the early 1990s. From a quiet supplier of low-value components to the domestic market, the industry has transformed itself into a global hub for sourcing a range of high-value and critical automobile components. The Indian auto components industry is a favourite among many global auto makers such as GM, Toyota, Ford, Volkswagen, etc., who source auto components worth millions from India.
The Indian auto components industry had a turnover of US$ 18 billion in 2007–08. The spiralling demand from domestic and international auto companies has seen this sector emerging as one of the fastest growing manufacturing sectors in India and globally. Between 2002–07 it grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.2 per cent and according to the Auto Components Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), it is likely to grow at a CAGR of 10.5 per cent between 2007–15 to touch US$ 40 billion by 2015–16.
The auto components industry is predominantly divided into five segments:
Engine parts
Drive Transmission & Steering Parts
Suspension & Brake Parts
Electrical Parts
Body and chassis
This sector is now working towards an open market. A large number of joint ventures with leading global manufacturers have already been set up in the auto components sector. And with India estimated to have the potential to become one of the top five auto component economies by 2025, the pace is expected to pick up even further.
Moreover the automotive components industry is perceived as a lucrative sector with tremendous potential for foreign direct investments. Further according to ACMA, exports grew from US$ 2.8 billion in 2006–07 to US$ 3.6 billion in 2007–08, and constituted 20.1 per cent of the turnover. Exports have been growing at a CAGR of 35 per cent during 2002–07 and are estimated to grow at a CAGR of 24 per cent during 2007–2015 to touch US$ 20 billion–22 billion by 2015–16.

Indian Information Technology Sector: A Presentation

2008-11-24T01:44:00.000-08:00

One of the fastest growing sectors in India, IT-ITeS has been growing at a CAGR of 30 per cent.
With such huge potential, IT-ITES is one of the key thrust areas of Government of India.
Liberal Policy framework for the sector
