I dont want Google and Apple to know where I walk, drive and with whom I speak. They already know what I do on my computer and what mails I write. Dont want them to know a more about me.

Blackberry has done a good job. It may not be iPhone/Android killer but it is definitely at par with the best in the league. Had BB come up with this 2 years back it would have been great. But I am willing to give them a chance. I hope the

Just do a google search for "filetype:sql @gmail.com" and you will find thousands of `users` table dumps. I dont know how useful it is for passwords but very useful for email spamming!

CMMI is all about processes not about the quality of software delivered. TCS is a third rate software company. It is a very good IT services company.

TCS can hardly be called a software company. They dont build anything. They simply cater to the needs of other large companies. IT is a service industry and no geek worth his salt will ever work with them irrespective of the pay.

That adds murder charges to the criminals. Apparently one of the rapist who was the most active in this crime was a juvenile. It might be the case the the protectors of these criminals are trying to put the maximum blame on this juvenile gu

For years RIM has mistreated their customers. They real "customers" are the businesses who buy phones for their employees and not the employee themselves. That is what has hurt them the most. BB10 is their last hope of survival. So far I ha
