\nBack in the days when I’d newly discovered the Internet and email, I used to “publish” a newsletter called “The best of Tidsy Bitsy stuff on the Internet” – swell name, isn’t it? Basically what I did was to compile whatever I found interesting on the Internet that week, do a copy-paste job and send it out to everyone I knew (who) had an email address. Ya, it wasn’t exactly “opt-in”, though as it grew popular (read as I got hold of more email addresses) I put in an “opt-out” option, if I remember correctly. Anyways, this post is something like that – a few stories that caught my eyes during the past few days.\n<\/p>\n
\nThis article<\/a> over at CNET has upset Google so much that no one from Google will be talking to CNET for a year – literally! A case of truth hurts? The jury is still out on that one – remind me to do a write-up on that someday, I have a few things in my head, waiting to come out. Sticking with CNET you can get almost three billion dollars<\/a> worth of lessons for free.\n<\/p>\n \nYou’ll like this for sure, especially you Raman. A WiFi hotspot covering 600 square miles<\/a> in Oregon, USA with speeds that would put most wired connections to shame.\n<\/p>\n \nNow one up for India. An English boy will fly to Delhi, India<\/a> for a spine operation because the queue in hospitals in UK is longer than the ones outside ration shops in India. I guess he’ll save some money as well. Outsourcing goes medical anyone?\n<\/p>\n \nSticking with the UK, the Guardian has an interesting article<\/a> on Rising<\/a>, the forthcoming Hindi film. Don’t care much about the guy or the movie, but the article is worth a read.\n<\/p>\n
