Now Microsoft gets thumbs down

Microsoft has received some awful feedback from its customers with regard to its services. In a study conducted by VendorRate, all the products of the software giant have received poor ratings by IT professionals for customer satisfaction, integrity, reliability and more.

The online survey was conducted by the market research firm on IT professionals of 347 hardware, software, telecom and service vendors during the second half of 2009. VendorRate asked the participants to rate vendors in 10 categories, including integrity, timeliness, communications, customer service, expertise, effectiveness, and whether they would recommend the vendor to others. It then added all the categories for each vendor to come up with a total.

For Microsoft, the ratings were generally miserable. Three different Microsoft businesses were given separate ratings, including operating systems, applications, and infrastructure. Looking at the poor ratings received by Microsoft for this quarter, Rick Schaefer, CEO of VendorRate says, "Microsoft's ratings simply fell off a cliff in this quarter."

IT professionals rating vendors in April, May and June has hit Microsoft with poor customer satisfaction scores for the company's server and infrastructure software (55 out of 100, down nearly 17 percent), operating systems (67, down 9.5 percent) and applications (64, off nearly 18 percent).

The survey also saw some of the other major technology companies take the bottom positions. Verizon was at the bottom of the list, with a 61 rating, followed by Sprint Nextel with 64, and Microsoft applications with 64. Microsoft operating systems was tied with AT&T Wireless for the next worst rating with a 67. That means Microsoft took two of the bottom five spots. IBM Informix, meanwhile, took the top spot for vendors with a 96. After this poor performance by Microsoft, all eyes are now on Windows 7, to see if that can bring some respite to the company.

Recession has made Americans to turn to internet

88 percent of the U.S. internet users, which comprise of more than two-thirds of American adults, went online for help with personal economic issues caused due to recession and to gather information and understand the national economic problems, according to a study conducted by Pew Internet & American Life Project. "People are anxious about these hard times. They are more information-hungry than in normal times," said Lee Rainie, Director of the nonprofit group and co-author of the report. The report also claims that 79 percent of Americans are internet users.

Based on the interviews conducted with 2,253 adults, the report says that almost 52 percent of American adults have either lost their jobs, seen their investments fall by more than half their value, suffered a pay cut or watched their house lose half its value during the downturn in the past year. Many U.S. companies have sacked huge number of employees and the unemployment rate hit 9.5 percent, the highest in nearly 26 years.

The study also says that the internet ranks high among sources of information and advice that people are seeking during hard times, especially when it comes to their personal finances and jobs. "That is a large number of those who are exploiting the Internet to participate in the roiling online discussion about how we got into this mess and how we are going to get out of it," Rainie said. Overall, 34 percent of online economic users have expressed themselves about the recession in places like blogs, social network sites and Twitter, the study reported. The more traditional way of talking with family and friends for advice and support has continued as well.

However, broadcast outpaced internet as source of news about national economic affairs. The report also states that the top three recession-related activities of these users were price comparisons, a general understanding of the economic downturn and new jobs. Around three percent of users searched on the Internet for information about filing for bankruptcy.

Swine Flu affected work in Wipro

H1N1 pandemic has hit the IT sector hard, as Wipro joins the league to take precautionary steps after Google closed its Hyderabad office for two days. Wipro is now giving two days paid leaves to its employees before reporting in the office who are coming from overseas, as techies have a significant number of swine flu positives, reports Times of India.

With 22 new cases of swine flu reported, highest in a day in India, the tally of influenza A infected rises to 251. The World Health Organization (WHO) has already declared it as "unstoppable" virus.

Fresh confirmed cases were reported from Delhi (7), Jalandhar (4), Cochin (2), Thiruvananthapuram (2), Mumbai (2), Pune (2), Hyderabad (1), Ahmedabad (1) and Bangalore (1).

So far 1,293 persons have been tested according to the Union Health Ministry, of which 251 were found positive for Influenza A (H1N1). Of these infected, 141 have been discharged after treatment. Remaining 110 are admitted to the identified health facilities.

Google and Wipro have had a case each of infection in their office, and have ensured to get the entire staff quarantined and the suspect cases tested for the infection. IT majors are sending out mails daily asking their travelling techies to take precautions. Microsoft's internal website has been uploaded with the information on swine flu along with travel guidelines. Similarly, the Mahindra Satyam's management has provided power point presentations to the staff, giving instructions on how to protect themselves, and also uploaded it on company's website.

"For anyone who is going on overseas assignments, they should report to office only after completion of 48 hours. The employees who returned from Sweden, were asked to do the same since the flu symptoms develop within 48 hours," informed a senior staff member in Wipro.

Elaborating on the status of a company where one of the employees contracted the virus and is a part of the cluster, District Medical & Health Officer (DM&HO) Hyderabad, Dr. Jayakumari, said, "This company has a work force of 180. While one has tested positive, reports of another five have been sent for confirmatory tests while 56 have been given profilaxis treatment. Rest have been home quarantined."

Indian companies show signs of revival

Indian companies seem to be on a recovering phase after being badly affected by the economic downturn in the last two quarters. According to the research done by TeamLease Services, the net employment index of Indian companies increased by 22 index points for the July-September quarter over the previous quarter. The net business outlook has also registered an increase of 26 index points compared to the previous quarter, which was in negative.

Among all the sectors, Telecom topped the list with an increase of 55 index points followed by IT and Infrastructure with 53 points. Surabhi Mathur-Gandhi, General Manager, TeamLease Services says, "With the stabilization of economies and optimism in global expansion, there is a direct positive implication for the Indian employment situation. We are observing a slow and steady upsurge in hiring intent across sectors."

TeamLease releases the employment outlook report every quarter after a survey administered to the HR heads, CEOs and senior management of leading companies in India. The study, which covered 495 companies in the latest round, focuses on the employment growth potential, the business outlook and hiring forecasts with relation to the location and the company profile.

Among all the Indian cities, employment outlook index increased the most in Chennai by 37 points followed by Delhi/Pune and Hyderabad by 33 and 28 points respectively. The report observed that there is a steady increase in the intention to hire across most functions except for marketing, where there is a decrease in the intention to hire at all managerial levels, except senior levels.

Gandhi says, "There are active hiring plans reported by Indian employers, and the overall employment outlook, though a bit conservative, is bullish and upbeat."

Most of the analysts feel that the employment outlook is reflective of the confidence in Board Rooms after the recently concluded Lok Sabha election. The confidence of companies grew more by seeing the amount being allocated by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee in the recent budget presented in the Parliament.

Additionally, the stock market is also giving positive indication by rising from 8,000 mark in October to 14,000 mark today.

Tripedo vehicle designed by PESIT students

Imagine an auto-like four-seater vehicle, only with two wheels in the front and one at the rear. That’s exactly what final year engineering students of PESIT have designed. It’s aptly called ‘Tripedo’ — a torpedo of sorts on three wheels. “Our main aim was to create a family vehicle,” says Arun Nayak, who forms part of the fourmember team that also comprises Harshith H M, Chetan Naik, and Naga Santhosh.

Elaborating on the project, he said power is transmitted to the two wheels in front using a Maruti-800 engine. “The entire setup at the front is the same as that of a Maruti 800. The reason for choosing a front-wheel drive system is that it is safer in terms of stability, and offers much better riding comfort than an auto,” he says.
The team considered various parameters like aerodynamics and weight distribution to create a computer-aided design model.

It took four months to develop the vehicle. “Balancing the car at the rear end was major concern. We felt it would lift when brakes were applied. So we used heavier materials at the back,” he says.

Studying and working on the project wasn’t difficult. “We had classes on alternate days. On those days, we would work on the project in the evening, and on Saturdays, we would spend the whole day working on it. Since the place where we worked was closed on Sundays, we too had to take a weekly off,” he says.

So how much did it cost? “It cost Rs 50,000 to construct it. When it’s fully finished and mass produced, we expect it will be priced at Rs 80,000,” he says.

Google's new OS is almost ready to challenge Microsoft

It’s the ultimate showdown in the technology world, the clash of giants that has been eagerly awaited for years. Web giant Google is taking its clearest aim yet at Microsoft with its plan to produce its own operating system that would optimise the way computers work on the Internet.

The Chrome operating system is due to be out in the second half of next year and will initially be used in netbooks, company executives Sundar Pichai and Linus Upson said in a blog posting. The operating system would be released as free, open-source software, which would allow anyone to use or modify it.

At the core of Google’s vision is the most important trend in the networked world: the move from running applications on a desktop computer to running them through a web browser.

From Gmail to Facebook and Picassa to Twitter, the most popular uses for computers are no longer the disc-churning software programmes like Microsoft Office, which have clogged up hard drives for years. The new paradigm is cloud-based computing, where all the heavy lifting and storage is done on companies’ server farms, which people access over their broadband connections. According to Google, it’s time that computers reflected the change.

“The operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web,” Google executives Sundar Pichai and Linus Upson wrote in a blog posting announcing the move.

The Chrome operating system is Google’s “attempt to re-think what operating systems should be”, based on three key attributes: “speed, simplicity and security”.

“We’re designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you on to the web in a few seconds. We are completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work.”

That vision sounds like digital heaven for computer users who have wrestled forever with bloated software and computers that progressively get slower and slower.

“People want to get to their email instantly, without wasting time waiting for their computers to boot and browsers to start up. They want their computers to always run as fast as when they first bought them,” the Google blog said.

“They want their data to be accessible to them wherever they are and not have to worry about losing their computer or forgetting to back up files. Even more importantly, they don’t want to spend hours configuring their computers to work with every new piece of hardware or have to worry about constant software updates.” As enticing as that prospect may seem, it’s not guaranteed to work, says Don Retallack, vice president of research at Directions on Microsoft – a company that tracks the software giant.

“Google may or may not have the experience and capability of actually producing an operating system and getting it deployed,” he said. “It may not realise how hard it is.”

25,000 jobs for Intellectual Property professionals in next 2-3 years

Rising awareness and growing competition will hike the Intellectual Property job opportunities in the country creating 25,000 jobs in the coming 2-3 years. Experts say, with the increased awareness about patents and trademarks due to increasing competition among companies and growing cases of infringement of IP rights, the Intellectual Property space in the country is increasing, PTI reports.

"We expect that over 25,000 jobs for Intellectual Property professionals will be created in the next 2-3 years. As there is an increase in the need for IP professionals in law firms, knowledge and legal process outsourcing companies and other corporate houses," said, Atulya Nath, CEO, Global Institute of Intellectual Property.

The lack of awareness of IP as a career option will gradually decrease with the need of professionals in the industry increasing and it will be seen as a lucrative career option, experts define. At present, there is shortage of IP professionals in the country as compared to the world over.

"Enforcement of IP issues is an area which would generate so many jobs in the coming days, as we all are witnessing an increase in the number of cases related with the infringement of intellectual property rights," said Rodney D Ryder, IP Expert, Kochhar & Co.

Over the last decade, IP laws in the country have been in a transition, as the country follows with its obligations under Trade Related aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPs). The IP industry includes patents, trademarks, design, geographical indications and copyrights.

"The role of IP professionals would further increase in the coming days as the issues related with patent, trademarks, design and copyrights are becoming more vital," Ryder added.

The industry is growing at an unseen pace; experts believe it will grow much faster.

"We estimate around 4,000 people are working in different areas of IP and should double in the next 2-3 years. IP, particularly trademarks and patents are considered vital in growth strategy of businesses and this can be seen from the increase in the number of patent and trademark filings in the recent years and the increase in litigation related to IP matters," said Bhaskar Bagchi, India Head, CPA Global.

In sectors like pharmaceutical and IT where there are large, diverse and complex trademark and patent portfolios, the need for IP professionals is greater, experts said.

World is recovering from Recession

The world is beginning to pull out of its first recession since World War II, the International Monetary Fund said Wednesday.

In an updated economic forecast, the IMF said the global economy was already stabilising, the financial crisis has eased and the recession will end in the second half of this year.
The report marked the first time the IMF has sounded a more positive note since the financial crisis struck in October, though the global lender also warned against complacency.

"While the global economy is still in recession, the recovery is coming," said IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard. The world economy will shrink 1.4 percent this year but grow by 2.5 percent in 2010, the IMF said. That compares to an April forecast of a 1.3-percent contraction in 2009 and growth of 1.9 percent next year.

But the IMF warned the recovery would be "uneven" and growth would remain "sluggish" for much of the next 2 years, especially in wealthy countries where the economic crisis began.

Much of the growth over the next 2 years will come from the emerging world. Wealthy countries will shrink 3.8 percent this year and grow only 0.6 percent in 2010, the IMF said. Developing countries will grow 1.5 per cent in 2009 and 4.7 percent next year.

Six lakh jobs lost in India in 4 months

More than six lakh Indians have lost their jobs in the duration of just four months after the economic crisis has hit Indian shores in the month of Oct'08.

According to the Economic survey, about five lakh people lost their jobs in the October-December 2008 period, while over one lakh were shed in January this year, the Economic
Survey said. In September, the crisis turned severe following the bankruptcy of
American financial services major Lehman Brothers. Since then, millions of jobs have been shed worldwide, as companies resorted to massive layoffs as part of their cost cutting measures.

According to the survey conducted by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, during the three months from October to December 2008, there was a decline in employment of about half a million workers. Among the sectors, the most hit by the financial turmoil are gems and jewellery, transport and automobiles.

"The most affected sectors were gems and jewellery, transport and automobiles where employment has declined by 8.58 percent, 4.03 percent and 2.42 percent, respectively during the period (October to December 2008)," report said.

However, the survey conducted by the Labour Bureau for the January-March period showed improvement in the employment scenario in selected sectors. The Labour Bureau survey, which covered 3,192 units, indicated improvement in the selected sectors with employment rising by a "quarter million".

"Sectors registering increased employment were gems and jewellery (3.08 percent), textiles (0.96 percent), IT-BPO (0.82 percent), handloom-powerloom (0.56 percent) and automobile (0.10 percent)," the Survey said quoting the Labour Bureau.

In the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-12), about 58 million employment opportunities are projected to be created and the unemployment rate is anticipated to fall below five per cent.

How to Take up Test

Before you Begin Test:

• 1. Preview the test before you answer anything. This gets you thinking about the material. Make sure to note the point value of each question. This will give you some ideas on budgeting your time.
• 2. Do a mind dump. Using what you saw in the preview, make notes of anything you think you might forget. Write down things that you used in learning the material that might help you remember. Outline your answers to discussion questions.
• 3. Quickly calculate how much time you should allow for each section according to the point value. (You don't want to spend 30 minutes on an essay question that counts only 5 points.)

Taking a Test:

4. Read the directions. (Can more than one answer be correct? Are you penalized for guessing? etc.) Never assume that you know what the directions say.

5. Answer the easy questions first. This will give you the confidence and momentum to get through the rest of the test. You are sure these answers are correct.

6. Go back to the difficult questions. While looking over the test and doing the easy questions, your subconscious mind will have been working on the answers to the harder ones. Also, later items on the test might give you useful or needed information for earlier items.

7. Answer all questions (unless you are penalized for wrong answers).

8. Ask the instructor to explain any items that are not clear. Do not ask for the answer, but phrase your question in a way that shows the instructor that you have the information but are not sure what the question is asking for.

9. Try to answer the questions from the instructor's point of view. Try to remember what the instructor emphasized and felt was important.

10. Use the margin to explain why you chose the answer if the question does not seem clear or if the answer seems ambiguous.

11. Circle key words in difficult questions. This will force you to focus on the central point.

12. Express difficult questions in your own words. Rephrasing can make it clear to you, but be sure you don't change the meaning of the question.

13. Use all of the time allotted for the test. If you have extra time, cover up your answers and actually rework the question.

India pays heavy penalty for not utilizing its loans

Even as India is trying to get more loans from World Bank to improve infrastructure and transport, an internal assessment from finance section reveals that the loans given to India before are not properly utilized. Many past projects are running behind schedule and the government has been paying commitment charges in crores every year.

In 2007-08 and 2008-09, India has paid Rs 240 crore as commitment charge for the undisbursed portion of the loans sanctioned by World Bank and other multilateral agencies such as Asian Development Bank (ADB). In last five years time, Indian government has paid close to Rs 700 crore as commitment charges

Due to a lack of coordination among different government departments, several projects and development schemes are not completed on time. According to a source from Finance Ministry, there were 231 externally aided projects of which more than 40 percent were paying commitment charges.
Government has approached for loans even when they already had a portion of undisbursed loans. According to ADB portfolio, undisbursed loan amount has increased from $850 million in 1999 to $3.5 billion at the end of 2006.

Commitment charges are a penalty on the failure to utilize the committed aid. Funds have been sought for many highway and power projects even before they are ready, or even before the previous loans had been utilized.

India has borrowed Rs 12,800 crore from ADB from 2001 and 2007 and between this time, it paid Rs 230 crore to the agency as commitment charges. An estimated 60 percent of World Bank and ADB loan portfolio are currently paying commitment charges. Questions have also been raised on the way the loans have been negotiated.
In many cases, the government had bargained loans with commitment charges as high as 0.75 percent when the rate of interest in the international market was around one percent.

How to use the limited time for Test

Cramming for exams should be avoided at all costs. You should only cram for an exam as a last resort. It's hard to take in and retain a large amount of information in a short period of time. Some of the tips on studying and preparing for a test may overlap with the cramming techniques below.

0. Eat some food to give you energy to study but avoid consuming excess sugar which will make you hyper and will make it more difficult to study.

1. An apple does a better job at keeping you focused and awake than caffeine.

2.Find a well lit place with no distractions around to study but don't get too comfortable or you may fall a sleep.

3. Keep a positive attitude, it is easier to study when you are relaxed than when you are stressed out.

4. Since your time is limited you have to choose what you study. Don't attempt to learn everything, focus on things that will get you the most points on the exam.

5. Focus on the main ideas and learn key formulas. Skip the details for now and only come back to them if you see that you have time after you have learned the key points.

6. Write down the key ideas/formulas on a sheet of paper and keep on studying from that sheet, repetition is important.

7. Highlight the important points in your notes, and text and focus on that.

8. Read the chapter summaries (they usually do a good job at summarizing the important points). If there're no chapter summaries then skim through the text and write down key ideas.

9. Study from past tests, review questions, homeworks & review sheets.

10.Take at least one five minute break an hour so that you can gather your thoughts and let your brain relax.

11. If time permits, try to get at least 3 hours of sleep (one sleep cycle) before the exam so that you don't fall asleep when taking your exam. Don't forget to set your alarm!

Concentrate for exams

The art or practice of concentration is to eliminate distraction and focus on the task at hand. If you find that you read through material and suddenly discover that you have no idea about what you've just read, or if you attend lectures and have difficulty paying attention to what is being said, these tips may help:

* Stick to a routine, efficient study schedule
* Study in a quiet environment
* For a study break, do something different from what you've been doing (e.g., walk around if you've been sitting), and in a different area
* Avoid daydreaming by asking yourself questions about the material as you study it
* Before lectures, look over the notes of the previous lecture and read the course material pertaining to the lecture so that you can anticipate the main ideas that the instructor will cover
* Show outward interest during lectures (attentive expression and posture) to self-motivate internal interest
* Resist distractions by sitting in front of the room away from disruptive classmates and by focusing on the instructor through listening and note taking
