Since I've hardly had time to improve the infrastructure on this site, I feel that having the discussion board continued here wouldn't make much sense. If you would like to move your information out of this site, please do so before the 15th, after which the site will be down.

Initially it was scheduled to be launched in 2009. It has been launched in the state of haryana for now, but is slated to be extended to the rest of the country by Jan 20, 2011. Mobile number portability will allow cell phone users to retain their phone numbers, and still be able to change the operator. This is going to spice up the indian telecom scene even more, and the customers will reap in the benefits, as the companies will try to retain their existing customers, and lure customers of rival companies.

The policy change was precipitated in large part by the security breach attributed to Chinese hackers; Google's IT leaders apparently feel that Microsoft's OS represents too great a risk across the enterprise to leave it in place. Business Insider suggests that Google's infrastructure represents about 20,000 Windows licenses that now will not be renewed or upgraded Read More@tuaw.com Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:27:55 GMT http://vinuthomas.com/News/article/sid=713.html http://feeds.vinuthomas.com/~r/vinuthomascom/~3/vUs-Mb9_fDo/sid=712.html All the seven private players who had won third-generation (3G) spectrum in a recent auction paid Rs 50,964 crore to the government today, the last day for the submission of the bid amount.

Its Nebulae machine at the National Super Computer Center in Shenzhen, was ranked second on the biannual Top 500 supercomputer list. For the first time, a second Chinese supercomputer appears in the list of the top ten fastest machines. However, the US still dominates the list with more than half the Top 500, including the world's fastest, known as Jaguar. The Cray computer, which is owned by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, has a top speed of 1.75 petaflops. One petaflop is the equivalent of 1,000 trillion calculations per second. It is used by scientists conducting research in astrophysics, climate science and nuclear energy.
