India is getting expensive…
yes, according to the CEO of SAP, Mr Henning Kagermann.
An excerpt from the above URI
“India is beginning to get expensive,” the group’s CEO Henning Kagermann told the Financial Times Deutschland. “We have decided to hire only a certain number (of people) there and then commence to look around for other locations,” he declared. India has to date been one of the major research and development locations of SAP.
“
“Mr. Kagermann is also aiming to expand the company’s research and development capacities in Eastern Europe. Compared with India, costs there were not as high and there was less fluctuation of staff, he said. In addition, unlike the case of India, infrastructure in Eastern Europe was fairly well developed throughout, he added.”
IT Biggies in India…This should ring some bells in your heads…

Me @ TV9 Talk
For all non-Telugu readers : I had posted about this few days back. In this episode MUGH core talked about the technical user group activities they do all the time and how they help each other in communities.
Lot of updates on MSN Spaces
Here you can read more
But I still wonder why these ideas/stuff was not implemented in first go? What’s happening to Microsoft’s creativity? Many of these features are supposed to be given to the users in first go itself. The most important things like URLs and Perma Links. I still hate the MSN Spaces perma links….looks geeky, but the author himself cannot figure out what post it is, by looking at any perma link of MSN Spaces.
For me, MSN Spaces are yet on the earth, needs lot of thrust to be in Space..

Recent Community Activities…TV 9 and The K.Launch
Last 15 days are bit cool for me in community domain, because I did few things which could become good memories forever. First one is being interviewed by TV9, a famous telugu news channel in andhrapradesh and North america. The interview is about technical communities and about MUGH, a local UG giant in India with 7000+ members. This interview is likely to be aired on 29th, january at 12:30 PM noon as a part of the programme called “TechnoBytes”
The second memorable event : Speaking at the Launch of VS 2005 and SQL 2005 @ kurnool .NET UG. Think of speaking to 600+ students from various technology, academic groups like B.tech, MCA etc. I must say the crowd is really cool and their interaction and the reception by the hosting collge (G.P.R College, Kurnool) is fantastic. Thanks to everyone and Sasidhar, the man behind this great event.
Google Mad RTM
Yes Google Mad is now RTMed…no longer a beta in doing mad things…Seems they don’t know what to do or there is no work to do. This one is heights of cheap and childish play from google that i have ever seen since its evolution. Google is loosing the respect day by day from my heart.
Look at this page http://www.google.co.in/downloads/
and this http://pack.google.com can you see any major difference, other than adding some so called free applications?
and I bet you any small sites on windows XP does gives you better download (free) list than this stupid web page. Google’s new pack page can’t beat even this wonderful list “The 46 best ever freeware Utlities”.
Hello Google !, you wanna screw our happiness with norton antivirus? Can’t you see free AVG? The worst is Trillion messenger which screws up system’s memory like hell.
Let me screw your weekend :-)
