  • On Wednesday, January 18, 2006, the U.S. Justice Department filed a motion to compel in United States district court in San Jose seeking a court order that would compel search engine company Google Inc. to turn over, "a multi-stage random sample of one million URL’s", from Google’s database, and a computer file with, "the text of each search string entered onto Google’s search engine over a one-week period (absent any information identifying the person who entered such query)."[68] Google maintains that their policy has always been to assure its users privacy and anonymity, and challenged the subpoena. On March 18, 2006, a federal judge ruled that while Google must surrender 50,000 random URLs, the Department of Justice did not meet the necessary burden to force Google to disclose any search terms entered by its users

    "Google began in March 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Ph.D. students at Stanford[1] working on the Stanford Digital Library Project (SDLP). The SDLP's goal was "to develop the enabling technologies for a single, integrated and universal digital library." and was funded through the National Science Foundation among other federal agencies"

  • call-center workers. Initial indignation morphed into
  • reluctant acceptance, and outsourcing to India has
  • become such a part of our culture that it inspire
  • In a move that signifies one of the quirkier things happening to the global economy, outsourcing companies in India (where more than a third of the country lives on $1.25 a day) are starting to open centers and hire employees in the
  • U.S. (where minimum wage is $7.25 an hour).
  • Salaries are rising 10% a year in India, so labor isn’t as cheap as it used to be.“Near-sourcing” saves these firms the travel expenses of flying workers from India to the U.S. to meet their clients.They gain efficiency by preventing mistakes that occur due to unfamiliarity with American culture.The companies can access new markets, such as healthcare companies, government agencies, utility companies and defense contractors that don’t want sensitive data leaving the U.S.Having bases around the world means they can do work around the clock.
  • This new trend is a positive sign in that it shows that American workers still have skills that Indian workers can’t match—and that Indian companies are willing to pay extra for it. The firms are supplying good jobs now, and plan to expand their U.S. outposts, creating even more opportunities in the future

    "Mobile technology is exactly what the name implies - technology that is portable. Examples of mobile IT devices include: laptop and netbook computers palmtop computers or personal digital assistants mobile phones and 'smart phones' global positioning system (GPS) devices wireless debit/credit card payment terminals Mobile devices can be enabled to use a variety of communications technologies such as: wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) - a type of wireless local area network technology Bluetooth - connects mobile devices wirelessly 'third generation' (3G), global system for mobile communications (GSM) and general packet radio service (GPRS) data services - data networking services for mobile phones dial-up services - data networking services using modems and telephone lines virtual private networks - secure access to a private network It is therefore possible to network the mobile device to a home office or the internet while travelling. Benefits Mobile computing can improve the service you offer your customers. For example, when meeting with customers you could access your customer relationship management system - over the internet - allowing you to update customer details whilst away from the office. Alternatively, you can enable customers to pay for services or goods without having to go to the till. For example, by using a wireless payment terminal diners can pay for their meal without leaving their table. More powerful solutions can link you directly into the office network while working off site, for instance to access your database or accounting systems. For example, you could: set up a new customer's account check prices and stock availability place an order online This leads to great flexibility in working - for example, enabling home working, or working while travelling. Increasingly, networking 'hot spots' are being provided in public areas that allow connection back to the office network or the internet.
