As a fallout of barcamp(BCB5), I happened to get in touch with Rene, who first presented his idea of creating a wireless mesh in Bangalore. He has done this in Germany and it sounded an interesting proposition to replicate the success here. I am more interested in replicating this in rural areas in and around Bangalore, but before that I got to see it happening inside Blore.There are

Quickly called my friends and asked them to be at the venue by 11. Reached around 11.30. Day2 is a bit more chaotic.. I decide to attend the mobile collective at L21.First session was by Prakash, Business Development at Forum Nokia, Bangalore. I am a regular user of forum nokia, but the presentation made me realise I didn't know 40% of what was in there..its an excellent platform for developers.

Its day one at BarCamp - the fifth edition....I enter the registration area with my husband Kannan(who never registers online!!) and find some cool logos and badges..I decide to sport "I am barcamped!", "Barcamp 5 Chilled Out!", "Mobile Collective" and ofcourse "I am speaking!".Attended some interesting sessions.. The first session I attended was in room L12. The session was given by 2 guys from

Ramya TVHi!I am a late entrant into the blogging world. I enjoy writing, and sometimes sharing what I write as well, hence this blog.I wish I had written so many things! I at least intend completing some travelogues, maybe some poems, and a few articles, some humble views and opinions! Lets see how it goes...I hope I will find encouraging readers, and encouraging writers as well!Cheers!Ramya TV

The summit was to spotlight the challenges women face in their career growth and how they can be addressed. The chair person for the summit was Kiran Karnik (President NASSCOM).The first speaker was Narayana Murthy..I entered in the middle of Narayana Murthy's presentation (was a bit late - big jam on airport road:-( ). He told about different policies in Infosys..The second speaker was Hari, HR

Had read the novel written by Charles Dickens somewhere in 7th or 8th std. I don't remember liking the novel much, but now I got a chance to watch the movie...Directed by David Lean, the musical(1948) is a treat to watch. Excellent performance by John Howard Davies, the kid who plays Oliver twist. The sets looks very impressive..the music is too good too.. All characters (Fagin, Nancy, Sikes,

The idea is to develop a voice application that delivers e-mails as voice calls. The voice application converts text e-mail to voice. It doesn't end here, it will call the user on his mobile and inform the user that there is a mail in his inbox. The difference from conventional applications is that the user receives a call from the voice application. He does NOT have to download his email, he

I was just pondering on how much money would an mobile application developer get for a decent application...It depends on quite a few factors..The mobile network infrastructure - 2.5G, 3G and 4G... GPRS, W-CDMA and 4G (future)are all packet based, so u can monitor the packets...also content based billing (CISCO was the first one to propose it - this means a if u r downloading a richer content to

Regarding the bonus shares or stock split, what Raji said was true as to why companies go for a stock split. But some companies like Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffet's) dont go for a stock split because they want their share holders to self-select themselves. Basically they only want people who have lot of money and who can hold on to their shares without constantly trading for small profits. So

I fully differ from Rajan regarding the reason for the non-existence of Unions in IT. The following is my reason why it does not exist in our industry. First of all, you have to examine the hierarchical structure of the IT industry vs a traditional industry. Unionism started off as an offshoot of Marx's communist idealogy where he asked for the oppressed(workers in industrial age england) against

Nice article... http://in.rediff.com/money/2005/apr/12guest2.htmTo quote from the article .."Whole Foods even posts everyone's salaries. This policy is undeniably radical. But in a democracy, openness is strength.

Raji previously posted about IT professional & unions. I wanted to post my thought about that and had drafted the post quite some time ago, here it goes "Software profeesionals are individualists.Adam Smith's statement that humans act in self interest might not be a very good assumption to make in general but this assumption holds very good for the software professional.

Thanks to Kannan for this. I was always confused as to who r the players in the media industry.1) AOL TW- I think we know abt them :-))) - one point to add is that theyalso own MAD magazine ;-)))). CNN, Cable biz, Time,AOL,Cartoon network.2) Viacom - owns MTV, CBS TV, Paramount pics, 3) Sony - Columbia Pictures and Music, and also Playstation4) Vivendi - now with NBC (which is GE) - Universal

a) A high denomination share is not easily tradable on the market! ppl would like to trade in lower denominations of good shares. So a stock split helps in increasing the liquidity of the share.b) Generally, the company thinks that the valuation of the share might be better in the future and it splits the share so that it is tradable. It is a virtuous cycle - lower denomination vs price rise :-).

Apple ads- The 1984 ad and Think Different ads(1997) are simply superb. Its amazing that way back in 1984 such wonderful creativity could be translated.This ad was shown just once in the Super Bowl event of 1984. Targeted against Big-brother(IBM), produced by director of Gladiator- Ridley Scott.Here goes the entire story behind it.All Apple adsThanks to Rajan for the links!

I saw the movie y'day @ innovative multiplexThe story is all about Maggie (Hillary Swank)- she is very poor - she eats the left over of other custs in the restaurant. - she dreams big - to become a boxing champion. She comes to Framkie (Clint Eastwood) to be trained - Frankie doesn't want to train her as she is a woman, but she will not let it go...she manages to convince him to train her.

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax) for short is a point to multi point, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) wireless broadband access technology. WiMax also known officially as 802.16-2004 (its IEEE name) can transfer data at rates around 70Mbps with a range of close to 30 miles all from just a single base station.Unlike WiFi, WiMAX's range is typically measured in miles rather than

WiMax has been hugely overhyped. Despite claims by several firms that they are offering WiMax technology today, the actual number of WiMax devices on the market is precisely zero. That is because the WiMax Forum, is yet to certify any devices with the WiMax label. Still not the time to take off all the wires! Its to expensive to come in either in developed or developing countries. Its only

The IT industry has so far been clear of unions... Now a debate has sparked on the need for Unions ... What sort of issues could be sorted if such a Union is to be formed? Will competent people be interested in joining such a sort of an alliance? IT organisation generally deals employers in a case to case basis.. Will top-end professionals come forward to form common laws, discuss on
