The secret of India’s high-tech success
When India started liberalizing in 1991, many expected it to follow the path of export-oriented low-wage manufacture charted by other Asian countries.
This proved impossible since Indian politicians would not liberalize labour laws, which made labour artificially expensive. But, to everybody’s surprise , India leapfrogged this area and achieved huge success in high-tech areas, ranging from computer software to R&D .
How so? There were many reasons . But one that escaped attention earlier was highlighted by Vivek Wadhwa in 2008 in the Harvard Business Review. In an article titled “A disciple becomes a guru,” he showed how Indian companies had innovated skill training to the point where they now had much to teach the US.

Microsoft Vs. Apple: Does Equal Size Mean Equality?
Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) and Apple (Nasdaq:APPL) are goliaths, two of the largest companies on the planet. Microsoft is a $270 billion company, while Apple is valued at a slightly lower $225 billion, based on their current stock prices. Yet just a decade ago, the thought that Apple's worth could be in even the same ballpark as Microsoft would have been ludicrous. The gap has closed, thanks to an amazing resurgence of Apple over the past 10 years. To say that Apple was teetering over the cliff before catching itself is not hyperbole.
Hackers exploit Adobe vulnerability
Hackers have been attempting to exploit an unpatched hole in Adobe Reader's PDF document format using a variant of the infamous Zeus bot.
It comes in the form of a malicious PDF file that embeds the attack code in the document.
"When this PDF is opened In Adobe Reader with JavaScript enabled, the exportDataOject function causes a dialog box to be displayed asking the user to 'specify a file to extract to'," says Gavin Neale of M86 Security.
"The default file is the name of the attachment, Royal_Mail_Delivery_Notice.pdf. This could be somewhat confusing to users, and not really knowing what is happening, they may just click save (It appears as if they are just saving a PDF file after all). Users of Foxit PDF reader will get no warning and the attachment will be saved to the users Documents folder." more......
