THE NEW G1 iPHONE

Looks like there is a new competitor for Apple's iPhone.The new mobile released by T-mobile is called the Google phone or the G1.The T-Mobile G1 also features a touch-screen, slick software, and a software store that make it appear a strong competitor to other smart phones. It arrives at a competitive price of $180 with a two-year contract from T-Mobile.

G1 owners will be able to browse Amazon's 6 million tracks across the T-Mobile network. The iTunes store is off line for iPhone users not on a Wi-Fi network. G1 users must be on a Wi-Fi network to download the music itself.The G1 has other unique capabilities, such as spinning the phone to spin around street-level photos available on Google Maps. And its tight integration with other Google applications looks promising. All of those are applications that could appear soon on other phones, including through the software store that Apple offers for the iPhone.

But what the iPhone lacks in performance is easily covered by its looks.The G1 on the other hand would certainly lose the crown to the iPhone in a beauty pageant.The Apple is not certainly going down as it has built a network of users all around the world how prefer the iPhone for its looks over the G1.If the G1 could come out with a sizzling new design it can overtake its opponents.

CUIL NOT SO COOL

The new search engine CUIL that has been launched by ex.employee of google is'nt upto its expectation.Its certainly is not on the line of google competitors.The new search engine does not provide a more refined search as google does.It is certainly not upto the mark.The search page opens in a dark beckground similar to that of the simplistic page of google.Most of the search results show up pages that cannot be reached or of that of amateur stuff.The sites that are given are just of no use in case of the search.Thought to be a strong competor of the google search engine but ended up in the line of the other not so popular search engines.A lot has to be done in terms of improving the search results and providing more refined results.

But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality?

SAP

SAP was founded in 1972 as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung by five former IBM engineers in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg(Dietmar Hopp, Hans-Werner Hector, Hasso Plattner, Klaus Tschira, and Claus Wellenreuther).The acronym was later changed to stand for Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung ("Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing").
In 1976 "SAP GmbH" was founded and the following year it moved headquarters to Walldorf. SAP AG became the company's official name after the 2005 annual general meeting (AG is short for Aktiengesellschaft).
In August 1988, SAP GmbH transferred into SAP AG (a corporation by German law), and public trading started November 4. Shares are listed on the Frankfurt and Stuttgart stock exchange.
The founding members Dietmar Hopp, Hasso Plattner, Klaus E. Tschira and Hans-Werner Hector form the executive board. In 1995, SAP was included in the German stock index DAX. On September 22, 2003, SAP was included in the Dow Jones STOXX 50.In 1991, Prof. Dr. Henning Kagermann joined the board; Dr. Peter Zencke became a board member in 1993.Claus Heinrich and Gerhard Oswald have been members of the SAP Executive Board since 1996. Two years later, in 1998 the first change at the helm takes place. Dietmar Hopp and Klaus Tschira move to the supervisory board, Dietmar Hopp is appointed Chairman of the supervisory board. Henning Kagermann is appointed as Co-Chairman and CEO of SAP next to Hasso Plattner.

Henning Kagermann became the sole CEO of SAP in 2003. In February 2007 his contract was extended until 2009. After continuous disputes over the responsibility of the development organization, Shai Agassi, a member of the executive board who had been named as a potential successor to Kagermann, left the organization.

SAP's products focus on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), which it helped to pioneer. The company's main product is SAP ERP. The name of its predecessor SAP R/3 hints at its functionality: the "R" stands for realtime (even though it is not a realtime solution), the number 3 relates to a 3-tier architecture: database, application server and client . R/2, which ran on a Mainframe architecture, was the first SAP version.
SAP ERP is one of five major enterprise applications in SAP's Business Suite. The other four applications are:
customer relationship management (CRM) - helps companies acquire and retain customers, gain deep marketing and customer insight, and align organization on customer-focused strategies
product lifecycle management (PLM) - helps manufacturers with a single source of all product-related information necessary for collaborating with business partners and supporting product lines
supply chain management (SCM) - helps companies enhance operational flexibility across global enterprises and provide real-time visibility for customers and suppliers
supplier relationship management (SRM) - customers can collaborate closely with suppliers and integrate sourcing processes with applications throughout the enterprise to enhance transparency and lower costs.

Ooty-Queen of the hills

Ooty or Udagamandalam (the Tamil version of the original name) rightly described as "Queen of Hill Stations" by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, now sprawls over an area of 36 sq km with a number of tall buildings cluttering its hill slopes. It is situated at an altitude of 2,240 meters above sea level. Ooty still woos people from all over India as well as foreign countries right through summer, and sometimes in the winter months too. An added attraction for the tourists to Udagamandalam is the mountain train journey on a ratchet and pinion track which commences from Kallar, near Mettupalayam and wends its way through many hair-raising curves and fearful tunnels and chugs along beside deep ravines full of verdant vegetation, gurgling streams and tea gardens. The scenery, as it unfolds during the trip, is breathtaking, awe-inspiring and fantastic. One can notice a marvellous change in vegetation, as one goes from Kallar to Coonoor. At Kallar it is tropical and at Burliar-the next bus-stop as one proceeds from Mettupalayam-it is sub-tropical. Near Coonoor, it is humid with pines, blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) and cypress trees. As we go from Ooty to Gudalur, the change in vegetation is striking. What a splendid interaction between climate and vegetation ! It is therefore very appropriate that Mount Stuart called the whole road leading to Ooty from Mettupalayam, "One long botanical debauch." The languages spoken widely are Baduga,kannada,tamil,english,malayalam and hindi.The major community in the district are Badugas.There are other communitirs like the todas,irulas,kothas.The district irrespective of ooty has splendid climatic conditions.It has been declared a natural biosphere.The hill resorts and the scenics are breath-taking.It is a pleasure being to the place and enjoying the weather out here.It can get real freezing out there.

FOLLOW THE GREEN PATH

Earth its jus the planet we all live in.Apart from the fact we dont bother much about the planet.It serves all our needs.The earth has served us for so long but we jus destroy it more for our needs and for our greed.We have never bothered about the dangers and the hazards that we cause it jus to fulfill our greeds.it is us who have inhabited the planet should take care of it.The earth has served our greeds and needs for so long but we dont seemed to bother much about the fact.we remain so careless not bothering much about the planet that we seem to be inflicting more hazards to it.The increase in the sea levels and the disappearance of the glaciers are jus few of our achievements that we have accomplished in the life time so few years we inhibit the earth.
Now it is our turn to return back the favor.You may think that there is going to be not much change if only a few follow the rules.Let us do our part to the earth and the rest will change.The change in one would inflict a change in the others around them.
