With domain names in Hindi, Arabic and Chinese set to become a reality on the Web, the pundits in this science hub of Switzerland, where the 
internet was arguably invented, claim the next giant leap towards internationalisation will be the grid, which is just weeks away from powering up.

The grid, which is made of thousands of desktops, laptops, supercomputers, data vaults, mobile phones, meteorological sensors and telescopes will start work when protons beams collide with each other in the worlds biggest experiment ever inside a deep tunnel here on the French-Swiss border.

It is a revolution, say scientists of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) because it uses the internet but is not the internet. Using cloud computing, the grid will combine the computing resources of more than 100,000 processors from more than 170 sites in 34 countries and will be accessible to thousands of physicists globally.

The scientists claim it will change the way the information superhighway works. Small computer grids similar to power grids have been in operation for some time, but CERN’s will be the biggest one of them all and will become a reality when its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) becomes operational this month.

The Grid will not only enable sharing of documents and MP3 files, but also connect PCs with sensors, telescopes and tidal-wave simulators.

The Grid evolved from the early desire to connect supercomputers into “metacomputers” that could be remotely controlled. The word “grid” was borrowed from the electricity grid, to imply that any compatible device could be plugged in anywhere on the Grid and be guaranteed a certain level of resources, regardless of where those resources might come from.

The Grid may give birth to a global file-swapping network or a members-only citadel for moneyed institutions. But just as no one ten years ago would have conceived of Napster — not to mention AmIHotOrNot.com — the future of the Grid is unknown.

I met Shri Arun Rishi and understands his unique concept and style of Clapping, Self Management and more..

Mr. Rishi he is an eminent industrialist. He has taken his retirement from business in 1997 and established a unique trust in the name of Aayushyamaan Bhav ( Live Long). The only person in this world who has not used Tooth brush, Tooth Paste, Tea, Coffee, Shaving Cream, Soap, Shampoo, Cosmetics, Artificial Colddrinks, Pan Gutkhas, Cigarettes and Liquor and because of not using all of them he has never taken any medicines also since 1979.

In just last 3 years he has conducted  more than 1200 seminars World Wide at very very prestigious places on Self Management and Total Quality Person.

Probably our medical science had forgotten that human body has immune system also. Because of the ignorance of this immune system by over medication and unnatural life style this immune system got paralyzed and today entire world is facing the problem of ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFFICIENCY SYNDROME means AIDS. Now the question arises what to do ? How to improve the power of human body’s immune system ?

In an astounding revelation, leading US computer maker Dell has announced that it has raked in around $6.5 million through sales of PCs, software applications, and related accessories using the microblogging website Twitter as its advertising platform.

The company has done extremely well in terms of exploiting the promotional power of the microblogging website, as back in the month of June, Dell rang up a total of $3 million from its advertising activities on the website. Incidentally, the company somehow managed to double this figure in only six months.

Manish Mehta, vice-president of Dell, has told Bloomberg that in the past three months alone, the number of followers of the Dell’s Twitter account, known as DellOutlet, has been increased by a notable 23 percent. Dell’s main twitter account has only 1700 uers whilst its Dell Outlet has nearly 1.5 million followers.

Unlike other firms, Dell has made this smart move of making Twitter an integral component of its promotional drive, and as a result, it has been making millions in revenues.

This ‘Festival of Lights’ is one of a major Indian festival. The festival symbolises the victory of good over evil, and it means an array of lights that stands for victory of brightness over darkness.

In Hinduism, across many parts of India and Nepal, it is the mythological story that homecoming of Rama who lived 1.7 million years back after a 14-year exile in the forest and his victory over Ravana.

In Jainism, Diwali marks the attainment of nirvana by Mahavira on 15 October, 527 BC. Dipavali was first mentioned in Jain books as the date of the nirvana of Mahavira.

Diwali has been significant in Sikhism since the illumination of the town of Amritsar commemorating the return of Guru Har Gobind Ji (1595-1644), the sixth Guru of Sikhism, who was imprisoned along with 52 other Hindu kings at Fort Gwalior by Emperor Jahangir.

Diwali marks the end of the harvest season in most of India and Nepal.

Rajeev Motwani, who was born in Jammu, grew up in Delhi, and graduated from IIT Kanpur, was found in the backyard swimming pool of his Palo Alto home he purchased three years ago. There was no official word about the cause of death, but friends and local reports said he did not know how to swim and may have drowned accidentally.

Now this is a bummer…Here is a letter from Satyam Head Mr. Ramalinga Raju to its Board of Directors.

http://www.manoj.co.in/Satyam_Computer_Chairman_Raju_Letter_to_its_board.pdf

Ramalinga Raju, chairman of Satyam Computer Services of Hyderabad, admitted Wednesday that he had cooked the books at the back-office giant, and resigned, citing the “tremendous burden that I am carrying on my conscience.”

Head of Indian outsourcing giant admits $1bn fraud. In a letter to the board, Raju said he inflated the company’s balance sheet by $1.04 billion so that 94 percent of assets Satyam claimed were, in fact, fictitious. Read Satyam actual letter from Mr. Ramalinga Raju to its board directors admitting fraud
We know that Shares in Satyam, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, collapsed from $9.35 to 93 cents until trading was halted indefinitely.

Unfortunately, this is yet another blow for India’s stock market, which was already headed in the wrong direction. The biggest Indian corporate scandal in memory threatens future foreign investment flows into Asia’s third-largest economy, already facing slowdown pangs.

“How did they manage to conceal a fraud of such magnitude even from the auditors?” is the only question…..

The scandal will also raise questions over how outsourcing companies are regulated and audited around the world.

The Hindustan Times says in an editorial that the scandal could taint the entire outsourcing industry.

The Satyam scandal is spurring concern that India’s corporate governance is inadequate.

The New York Times said Satyam works for more than one-third of the Fortune 500 companies. Satyam employs 53,000 people, among the 2 million Indians working in the country’s booming high-tech industry.

As executives at other Indian outsourcing companies nervously assess what impact the scandal will have on them, many industry observers now argue that the Satyam case will damage India’s reputation as a reliable provider of IT services. Because of the Satyam scandal, they say, Indian rivals will come under greater scrutiny by regulators, investors, and customers.

Doubts about the reliability of Indian outsourcers are especially important, since customers often allow the Indian companies access to sensitive systems. “This industry doesn’t just make widgets,” as we all know.

Satyam was – one of the favourite large-cap stocks for investors.
I am left wondering – if such things happen in a large-cap company, which is one of India’s top…What is going on in others? But there is one thing – this further makes us understand what risk of Equity investing actually is… No company is safe.

This could be just the tip of the iceberg, god knows who else in Satyam is involved and its the investors who take the grunt.
