Once of the Google employee sharing her funny incident. I guess this is a nice gesture, the bureaucrats visiting the companies... motivates the employees & the employers !

Google's opensource APIs

Google seems to have set up an website to publish some of its APIs for developers. Opensource is one thing that Yahoo! or MSN can't compete Google with.

Way to go gooooooogle. !

e-commerce in Indian villages ?

Looks like Mr JhunJhunWala(IITM's EEE HOD) is thinking of connecting villages by Internet and providing farmers/rural ppl e-services. But what we forget is that they lack the basic amenities like electricity, housing & health services.

I am not sure whether even a municipal town like Madurai, has the capability to have a decent broadband connection to stream live images. Last time I had gone there, I had a hard time connecting to a dialup. But, looks like a nice small step for the long way ahead !
