Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:54:25 -0800

"Terror in Mumbai," a docu examining last year's carefully orchestrated terrorist attack across the Indian city, will premiere Nov. 19 on HBO, one week before the anniversary of the incident that left more than 170 people dead.

Pic features audio tapes of intercepted phone calls and interrogation footage of the sole surviving gunman.

Scam-Tainted Get Off Scot-Free

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:42:15 -0800

Last week, a Delhi High Court decision forced the Institute of Chartered Accountants to withdraw a notice it had issued to Price Waterhouse’s Delhi unit about the Satyam scandal. The high court decision recognised that the Delhi unit had nothing to do with the Bangalore unit. It was the Bangalore unit whose partners were alleged to be complicit in, the founder and former Chairman of Satyam, Ramalinga Raju’s crimes.

While this decision must be legally correct, it nonetheless amounts to Price Waterhouse successfully pulling off a dirty trick on the investing public...

First generation learners...

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:15:42 -0800

These kids are reffered to as the ‘first generation learners’ simply because no one from their previous generations has ever gone to school. I don’t quite like the word because I dont agree with this concept! Having stayed in their tribal village ‘Mozda’ I know for sure that the knowledge and wisdom of this community is far superior than most of the people like us who’ve been through formal education! Location: Mozda, Gujarat, India

Ajaxian » Google releases Closure, the tools behind the JS geniuses

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:40:19 -0800

I remember when the whole Ajax thing kicked in and JavaScript developers looked at Gmail, Gmaps, and the like and thought “I wonder what powers that?”

Well, the power comes from Closure a library and set of tools that the great JS hackers built over time as they created the applications at scale.

As soon as I joined Google I wanted to check out this code, and talked to a bunch of folks who were interested in open sourcing it. Well, these things take time, but now we are fortunate enough to have everything out there (interestingly, a lot of the code was open due to it being used in Google Doc).

What are the pieces?...

Sketch Your Search

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:15:54 -0800

GazoPa is a service that analyses the content of each image — the shapes, colors, tones and lines that make it up — rather than just inferring it’s content based on it’s file name and the surrounding content as most traditional images searches do.

However, GazoPa also adds a few interesting new strings to it’s bow.

Firstly, GazoPa allows you to sketch a rough image directly into the search panel which it will then try to match.

Of course, that’s OK in theory, but does it actually work?...

What is DMZ ?

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:24:00 -0800

What is DMZ ?

The name DMZ comes from the military term, Demilitarized Zone, we only wanted to have it’s proper TLA (Three Letter Acronym) so it would sound cooler. In the military, the DMZ is a pretty dangerous place to be. Best case you have guns pointing at you from both sides, worst case they’re shooting you to smithereens.

On a network, we create a DMZ to locate components that will interact with users or machines that are in an untrusted zone. Why ? Because the risk that these components are compromised is much bigger and if they would be in our trusted (internal) network, the havoc when it happened would be immense. The DMZ gives us control over the traffic that is allowed to and from the boxes, from both sides.

MySQL as a web service from Amazon

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:18:32 -0700

Amazon is offering MySQL as web service in the cloud. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no up-front investments required, and you pay only for the resources you use.
Amazon RDS gives you access to the full capabilities of a familiar MySQL database. This means the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing MySQL databases work seamlessly with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period. You also benefit from the flexibility of being able to scale the compute resources or storage capacity associated with your relational database instance via a single API call. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no up-front investments required, and you pay only for the resources you use.
