Yeah ! i remember one of my friend shagan telling me about this sometime ago.Every major company tries to be at least the second ranked in their field and that too only because they can’t buy out the first ranked.
It was always important to keep that leadership to survive .Google has always bought out bright startups and their founders loved it .But somehow now i feel skeptic about this whole process .
What is google trying to do by buying out so many startups ?
Bring their technology in to google perhaps but most of the products they have bought are in direct competition to their home products .
another question ,if they had similar products ,what is it that google was buying from the startups ?

their product or people. If its just people then isn’t it a bad news for the people who have fought so much for creating that product which so many have liked ?

I’m sure people will remember what happened with dodgeball founders.They opined that google killed their products.I fear the same might happen with feedburner and doubleclick.Both of which are in direct competition to google’s own advertising platform adsense.
Will google kill these products by not allocating time and resources to them ? so as to keep adsense the only and the leader in web advertising now that Yahoo’s panama hasn’t been a great success .

Google today is a huge brand and their ” Do no Evil ” is still true for most part of theirs but this fear just doesn’t go .

Its only time that can answer and i leave it upon it .

" my feelings were like those of Arjuna when he

killed Dronacharya, his Guru at whose feet he had learnt the art of war. But

the Guru had taken the side of the wicked Kauravas and for that reason he

felt no compunction in finishing his revered Guru. Before doing so, however,

he first threw an arrow at the feet of Dronacharya as a mark of respect for

the Guru, the second arrow he aimed at the chest of the Guru and finished

him. My feelings towards Gandhi were similar. I hold him first in the

highest respect and therefore on January 30, I bowed to him first, then at

point blank range fired three successive shots and killed him. "


Told nathuram godse in court .

This series i am getting to know from nukkad is very enlightening to say the least .No,we dont hate our mahatma gandhi but an insight in to the man who killed him is very important for us i believe .

Here is what nathuram godse ,the man who shot gandhi had to say in the court before being handed over death penalty for his act of crime.

well, atleast he was one of them. Gopal Godse is the brother of Nathuram Godse ,the man who actually shot gandhi.

In a rare interview to the media, he speaks about the assasination and according to him:

” Someone asked
me whether Gandhi said, "Hey Ram." I said Kingsley did say it. ”

yeah ! i am just done with the implementation of openid for my blog

first ,what is an openid ?

OpenID is a URL based identity system. An OpenID identity is simply a URL, and all the OpenID specification does is provide a way to securely prove that you own that URL.


Unlike most identity systems, OpenID is completely decentralized. The end-user may choose whichever server they are most comfortable with, and may even run their own if they choose.

how does it help ?

It helps a lot especially if you use a lot of websites and try and comment on many ,openid ensures you have to use just one login across all those servers provided they
