Is India growing up too quickly? NO
2007-12-28 21:22:00
in response to post: Is India adapting to the Night Shift? Is India growing up too quickly? NO  Rich people in india are growing so quickly. AP has asked only to high profile people. But the reality is...Recently, I met my childhood friend, when we were talking about lot of matters, He told that his neighbor sold his kidney for $300. I was shocked, people are willing to sale their body parts. I guess, at least for next 10 years, India would lead in the "organ bazaar". I don't thing poverty ends soon in India (~ 30% of population is living below poverty line vs Indians are keep increasing in the worlds richest list), hence rest of the world get better human bodies till poverty line goes below 10%.

Google means advertisement ? Google reader
2007-12-26 23:34:00
Here is a one more Google advertisement without spending a single cent, Google recently announced a new feature. To me this is a purposefully “planned” advertisement targeted for people who do not know about Google reader. How many people know Google reader? To my knowledge media and tech people are using it, Gmail got popularity by means of word of mouth, they gave 100 tickets and the network of people started to spread the word, now Google automated that process in Google reader. Slowly Google would release GPC once they reached targeted numbers on Reader crowd and they are the leaders in this space, they know how to initiate, control and finish their “networked marketing”. I guess, roughly they would have targeted for few million new users for G’reader by enabling this feature. Scoble said “Google MEANS Public”, I have to agree. Google means Advertisement , Advertisement targeted for public, and hence Google means Public. But I do no...

Web Science - memento
2007-12-20 23:46:00
I believe every living thing in the word has ability to store information outside the brain to communicate, remember etc. Humans store/convey information by drawing, talk, writing, recently by digital form. By default, human brain is an imperfect object (problem 1) – the information may lost over time, limitation in remembering things etc. The way brain stores/retrieves information is so complex process. Recently web is a powerful medium to store/communicate idea/thought etc. A person can communicate himself, for example a thought/idea is communicated within one self. It may be within the brain boundary (Ex: a dream) or may extended to one’s mouth (ex; self talk), Or may be outside the physical body (Writing in diary, personal note etc). Or A person/group of people communicate to other person or group. In either case, when the information stored/communicated outside the physical body, technologies comes into play to solve the brains limitation or to “outsource men...
