Satyam fraud is absolutely shocking. Ramalinga Raju, Chairman of Satyam has resigned from the board and admitted the Fraud committed. The IT industry which is already faced with tough times in US will raise questions in minds of FIIs and FDI. According to the letter, neither the auditors nor any other member of the board where aware of the fraud.
Google SMS Labs now enables me to create channel and update anyone or a particular group of members (by invitation) with SMS alerts. I created a Channel called SHALINJAIN. So, whenever I update my blog you would get a SMS with brief description about the post. It is almost realtime.
The invitation process is really simple. If you already have a GMAIL or Google Account just clicking one button would do the needful.
Reliance and Tata are geared to now penetrate into the GSM market after having reasonable success with their CDMA offerings. The GSM market explosion is great for customers as they would have plenty of providers to choose from. However, it might sometime for both these companies to build reputation in the GSM band segment.
Personally, I don’t like both these companies as telecom providers due to poor customer service quality. Their growth is not organic and well-structured but sure they have a lot of market reach and marketing muscle. Lets see how they do, considering 3G will be soon available with various providers.

Winrar is for Windows. UnRarX is the mac alternative.
Unrarx for Mac is free and is compatible with Both Tiger & Leopard OS X. Mac OS X doesn’t come with the capability to unrar a file. I doubt if stuffit expander can do it. Now, I can accept all the rar files that I get from my windows friends.
As the website describes:
UnRarX is a Mac OS X Cocoa application that allows you to expand rar archives and restore corrupted or missing archives using par2.
Screenswift finally gets a new dedicated website - www.ScreenSaverApp.com. Screenswift is Tenmiles’ first product and a very popular tool in its category - Flash Screensaver Software. It is by far the most successful desktop application we have launched in the last 8 years.
Don’t miss checking our customer list. Any feedback on the website is welcome. 2009 brings a new showcase for favorite app at Tenmiles. Wish us luck!
Tenmiles generated it’s initial funding (2000-2001) by offering services like web design, logo design and ad banner design services. Today we are a 8 year old solid product development company with great in-house design team. However, we are now gearing up to re-launch our design division and take our offerings to a next level.
Tenmiles Interactive, the new division would be based in Chennai and offer web design, brochure design, logo design & corporate identity solution. We would also be focusing in offering design services to companies in chennai. A Web Design Company based in Chennai. with a dedicated team of designers, content writers and managers. Gearing for growth!
I am compiling a quick list of 5 top restaurants in Nungambakkam, Chennai. These are the places I visit more often than others, they are not very expensive - affordable for a person who eats out once in a fortnight.
I have been using Justdial.com for many years. It is a decent service especially when you are away from the internet - you can use the fancy phone number and get information. However, if you were to use the website I would prefer Google Local Search instead.
For instance: Forex, Chennai would give you instant result of Forex Companies with Location (Map) and phone numbers.
Really makes a world of a difference. I like the content organization and map support. I think an automated algorithm fetches information so you need to be little more accurate on what you search for.

It is fairly simple to move a wordpress blog across servers. In fact, I just did that. I gave up on my old host and am now hosting on Rackspace Network. Here is quick checklist:
Move Wordpress Installation
Download all the scripts - You can skip a cache folder under the wp-content directory
Go to your existing web hosts PHPMyAdmin page to download your Database as a SQL file.
Create a new MySQL database with your NEW web host and import this SQL file.
Upload your scripts to the new web host
Open wp-config.php and modify the database name, hostname, password accordingly
Change the DNS at your domain registration service provider, as required
That’s it!
Most time is consumed in downloading and uploading the files. Everything else is quick. It is really simple to manage and move your wordpress blog if you need to do so. (This is also my test post after moving!)
