Pedestrian follows Google Maps, gets run over and sues Google for $100,000
by
Rahul on June 29, 2010
Hugh Pickens writes "The Toronto Star reports that a Utah woman is suing Google for more than $100,000 in damages, claiming its maps function gave her walking directions that led her onto a major highway, where she was struck by a car. Lauren Rosenberg sought directions between two addresses in Utah about 3 kilometers apart and the top result suggested that Rosenberg follow a busy rural highway for several hundred meters. 
The highway did not have sidewalks or any other pedestrian-friendly amenities, and Rosenberg was struck by a car. Rosenberg filed suit against both the driver of the car that struck her and Google, claiming both carried responsibility in her injury and her lawyers claim that Google is liable because it did not warn her that the route would not offer a safe place for a pedestrian to walk. Google has pointed out that the directions Rosenberg sought come with a warning of caution for pedestrians but Rosenberg claims that she accessed the Maps function on her Blackberry mobile device, where it did not include the warning. Danny Sullivan notes on Search Engine Land that despite getting bad directions from Google (or a gas station attendant, a local person or any source), people are also expected to use common sense.
"So when you come to an intersection like this (photo at bottom of page), as Rosenberg would have come to before crossing onto the highway," writes Sullivan. "You might be expected to consider for yourself whether it is safe to continue."

Google Docs: Now try the best online tool without a Google Account
Google Docs had been adding many desired feature off-late, but all of it required to have a Google account to log in and then access it. But now anyone can simply visit docs.google.com/demo and start typing in a document that would be available for 24 hours 
only. They can also invite others to collaborate with them.
Already a very powerful word processing tool, Google Docs inspite of having very tough competitors in services like Zoho continues to impress with its rich collection and ever increasing features. Surely with this new open for all feature a lot more people would get to have a feel of Google Docs.
Though large business organizations haven't yet taken up Docs and using it for productivity purposes, the time will come soon when people will look forward to such an online collaborative tool, more so with real-time and collaboration becoming the buzzwords in the industry today.

What did General McChrystal say? Get surprisingly latest updates below.
Get the latest Updates on this issue. Click here.
In a pretty decent turning out of events, this question is lurking around all the more now. Don’t forget to get the updates by clicking above. The nation's commanding general in Afghanistan Stanley McChrystal has been yanked off the battlefield and ordered to report to the White House.
Now the anointed one is furious about a forthcoming Rolling Stone piece in which General McChrystal criticizes members of the administration. Now Democrats from the anointed one to Vice President Joe Biden to Ambassador Richard Holbrooke are harshly rebuked.
In the interview, the president's first meeting with the general is described as a photo-op and the president himself as detached and unprepared. Now according to the piece, one McChrystal 
aide characterized National Security adviser Jim Jones as a, quote, "clown who is stuck in 1985.
"
McChrystal is also depicted as receiving an e-mail from Ambassador Richard Holbrooke and then groaning, quote, "I don't even want to open it." Now the article also reveals that McChrystal aides had nicknamed Joe Biden "Vice President Bite Me," thanks to his opposition to the war in Afghanistan.
Now given how well the anointed one takes criticism, let's just say the White House is not taking this lightly. Propaganda minister Robert Gibbs declined to say whether McChrystal would keep his job.
Let's take a look.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ROBERT GIBBS, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: The president will speak with General McChrystal about his comments and we'll have more to say after that meeting.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Is McChrystal's job safe?
GIBBS: We'll have more to say after that meeting.
(END OF VIDEO CLIP)
HANNITY: All right, General McChrystal meeting to apologize for his remarks and those of his aides saying, quote, "It was a mistake reflecting poor judgment and should never have happened. I have enormous respect and admiration for President Obama and his national security team, and for the civilian leaders and troops fighting this war."
Meanwhile, the country remains at war. So will the president set his ego aside, accept the general's apology, and let him head back on to the battlefield.
Joining me now with reaction is the host of "War Stories," Lt. Col. Oliver North and former secretary of the Navy Veterans Affairs, Jim Nicholson.
Guys, welcome to the program.
OLIVER NORTH, "WAR STORIES" HOST: Thank you, Sean.
JIM NICHOLSON, FMR. SEC. OF VETERANS AFFAIRS: Good evening, Sean.
HANNITY: Well, thank you, Ollie. It's good to see you. Your —
NORTH: Again.
HANNITY: Your reaction to all this?
NORTH: Well, there's no way that this Barack Obama who has been accused, and I think rightly so, of being indecisive, ambivalent, unable to make up his mind, detached — all of those things about everything from the economy to the war, to the gulf oil spill — there's no way he can pass up this opportunity to look decisive and fire General McChrystal.
HANNITY: So you — you're predicting he's going to be fired. Now look, I would argue that it's probably unwise, probably what he said was wrong. I think probably, Ollie, if any big mistake was made here it was that he allowed this magazine around him for weeks on end apparently.
NORTH: Apparently so. And by the way, most of what his staff and he say about the "O Team" I would agree with. The problem, of course, is one of judgment of allowing somebody from Rolling Stone to hang around as it were, with the internal workings of the staff and with the general, defies any kind of understanding.
It's either arrogance or ignorance or they thought they could win him over somehow by being tough guys. It backfired. It's going to blow up. And I believe it's going to cost the general his job.
HANNITY: You know, I think you're probably right. Ambassador, you agree with the same?
NICHOLSON: No, I'm not sure it will. I think it might be more courageous for Obama to keep him, because the war is so important. I mean he never said anything insubordinate or disrespectful to Obama or to the policies of Obama.
And he is the leading counterinsurgency leader that we have in our arsenal in America today and that's a classic intense counter insurgency. So, you know, he used very bad judgment. It probably rises to the level of — you know, probably either tender his resignation or Obama might be justified in firing him.
I — you know, Barack Obama, some say, couldn't have gotten a commission, couldn't have gotten a security clearance but he did get elected as commander in chief.
HANNITY: I don't know.
NICHOLSON: And we have to respect. That is our system.
HANNITY: No, I —
NICHOLSON: And he is the boss. So —
HANNITY: I agree, and that's —
NICHOLSON: What he says goes.
HANNITY: All right. And I think it was probably unwise. But I also think there's some texture and context to all of this as well. And I'm not making excuses for the general here, but this is the same general that we risk failure, Ollie, if he didn't get the — the troop strength that he needed. Obama dithered, waited months and did not grant his request.
NORTH: Exactly.
HANNITY: The article said —
NORTH: And that's part of the problem.
HANNITY: This is part of the problem. Then there's been this ongoing, you know, public relations battle between McChrystal, the Pentagon and the administration. As evidenced by Jonathan Alter's book. So the question is here, is this just frustration by a former Obama supporter?
NORTH: No, no. I think he is very obviously frustrated. And it says in the article, and no reason to disbelieve it, but he actually voted for Obama. The problem is, as the secretary just pointed out, this man has exercised very, very poor judgment.
And his staff, quite frankly, whether it was at the Pentagon or central command or right there in the staff that approved this embed — and I know what it's like go through getting an embedded press. And on 27 times I've had to go over there, file all the paperwork, you have to lay out exactly what you're going to do.
So somebody in between the Pentagon and right out there in Kabul needs to know they really screwed up. Somebody had it in for the general. They let this whole thing happen. Very, very intemperate remarks.
Not quite through the level of Article 88 of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice that says commissioned officers can be court-martialed for being disrespectful. I don't think that's going to happen. But I can't see how possibly General McChrystal survives this.
HANNITY: See, I don't think so either. And Ambassador, this is where I'm going to probably disagree with you here. I mean this is now the second public dispute that he's had with General McChrystal.
The idea that he's summoned to the White House. The idea that Gibbs said today that firing is not off the table. He wouldn't give him a vote of confidence, tells me that this general is probably in trouble and may want to just bow out himself, no?
NICHOLSON: Well, you know that's possible. It's certainly — it could. It's really — I think it's really his third strike, but if you read the article carefully, which I have done, it's not about his ego.
He's not disrespectful at all of the president and the president's policies. The guy has been in this battle for about nine years. They said in nine years he's seen his wife a total of thirty days in every one of those years. And that staff around him are a bunch of warriors as well.
I mean these are real warriors. And these guys are committed to what we're trying do over there. But they're — they're tired, they're weary, they get frustrated. And they use bad judgment. There's no question about that.
HANNITY: All right. Colonel —
NICHOLSON: I'm not sure — I'm not sure that — you know, that people around Obama will recommend that he fire him. And, you know, Obama —
HANNITY: No.
NICHOLSON: — is pretty indecisive so we'll see.
NORTH: Jim, let me just say —
NICHOLSON: I — I hope he doesn't fire him.
NORTH: Well, I hope he doesn't, too, because I agree with you about the competence and the character of this general. I've seen him on the battlefield. I understand what he's trying to do and I think it's — it is indeed possible that he gets it done.
The problem is Obama has to look like he's decisive for a change. This is his golden opportunity.
HANNITY: Yes.
NORTH: And so he's going to make a political equation here.
HANNITY: But, Ollie, let me jump in here.
NORTH: But it's important to win the war or not, he's going to fire the guy.
HANNITY: So he's not going to be tough with North Korea or Iran. He's going to be —
NORTH: No.
HANNITY: He's going to be tough with the general.
Here's a question. This administration has had a very hard time, Ollie, even acknowledging a war on terror exists. This general made very specific recommendations about the troop strength needed or we risk failure. The president didn't go along with his recommendations.
What should —
NORTH: Well, and —
HANNITY: What should a general do?
NORTH: And he dithered forever making the ultimate decision. Just like Obama doesn't —
HANNITY: But what should — what should the general do?
NORTH: And actually, here's the bottom line.
NICHOLSON: Sean, he did go along.
NORTH: A general has two choices.
(CROSSTALK)
NORTH: A general has two choices. The general can either convince the commander in chief to change what the policies are or he can resign. In this case what General McChrystal's staff has allowed to happen and what the general did — I agree by the way, Jim. He's not over-the- top.
In fact, there's very little in this column that's actually attributable directly to General McChrystal.
NICHOLSON: Yes.
NORTH: Not withstanding the claim that there's, you know, lengthy interviews. But General McChrystal's — the folks around him allowed this to happen and that carries something because — they're speaking for their general.
HANNITY: Yes.
NORTH: And their general if that's the case —
NICHOLSON: He's responsible —
NORTH: — is not at all respectful for this president.
HANNITY: All right, guys, we got to run. It's going to be fascinating to watch. And my prediction, I'm with Ollie, Jim. If you win, Ruth's Chris steak for you. But, you know, the sad part is we've got —
NICHOLSON: We'll see tomorrow.
HANNITY: Well, we've got troops that need a leadership. And he's been fighting —
NICHOLSON: Yes.
HANNITY: He's been fighting for the proper support they need. So on the serious side of this —
NICHOLSON: Yes.
HANNITY: In all honesty, the president should have given the troops that he requested in the beginning. But appreciate you being with us.

Why isn’t Aircel losing customers in spite of so many advertisement calls?
by
Rahul on June 14, 2010
Aircel, one of the widely used mobile service providers in India right now, as many of my friends say, will go in for a tough time with so many people complaining against their advertisement calls. There is no concrete information about Aircel losing customers, but as many of my known peers point out, dissatisfaction is spreading very fast amongst the subscriber base. And if Aircel doesn’t act pretty fast (t
he START DND to 1909 takes a pretty decent long time enough to convince someone to change the connection). I myself often keep the mobile switched off often to get rid of the disturbances. Lucky it is not my primary number.
So the situation is pretty risky and on the edge now with quality services of Vodafone, Airtel, 
Docomo and Uninor stepping up on user demand meeting capabilities and services. Many of my friends are harassed to such a tremendous extent that they literally start taking on the organization and what not!
It will be pretty decent to see what Aircel does now. Users complain from all over the country no doubt, and with a DND service as good as they have, surely the consumers complaint forum members are going to have a busy time soon listening to complains of Aircel subscribers! Did you face this same problem? Share below.

TCS Joining Letter: 2010 Batch confused
by
Rahul on June 13, 2010
TCS has started giving out joining letters to it’s 2010 batch selected candidates. The wait is finally over for the thousands of candidates. The mood sure is up amongst the freshers. But the chord seems to be a bit out of tune, with a lot of discussion going on about the distribution of joining dates. Updates and news (click and run) are shared instantly.
Unlike joining dates of 2009 batch, where joining dates where given on the basis of college rankings and streams, joining dates of 2010 batch seems to be given on a basis which few can decipher. A lot of discussion is going on in online communities about this. But despite all this, the mood is in a brilliantly positive side. There are absolutely no causes of worries as the top IT company continues to honor the offers it made to the candidates.
The euro and the sterling might have shaken some people a bit, but no doubt the strong infrastructure of the company is sure to absorb the impact of all these changes easily. But with nothing to do in their hands, the freshers continue to ponder as to what could be the reason behind the planning of distribution of the only thing they are waiting for now, the joining letter. Have something to share, speak out below.

Box.net adopts HTML5 and adds Drag and Drop functionality
by
Rahul on June 11, 2010
The feature works on Firefox 3.6 and Chrome for PC (with support for Safari and Chrome on all platforms coming in the next few weeks). Box’s CEO and co-founder Aaron Levie says that Flash didn’t allow this at all due to security issues. While this is a small addition in terms of functionality, he believes that HTML5 provides a much richer user experience when it comes to enterprise applications and the interaction between the browser and the operating system . “HTML5 is the nail on the coffin of desktop applications because we can create this rich interactive experience that acts like a native app.” Levie adds that HTML5 is also appealing because it works on every device.

TCS cautious about weak euro
by
Rahul on June 4, 2010
Commenting on the scenario, TCS CEO N. Chandrasekaran said, “Both the euro and sterling are significantly weakening and the rupee is appreciating and that will definitely have an impact on our revenue line. This will affect operating margins also. It’s a headwind which we will have to overcome”.
He also said that though some deals are being anticipated in Europe, however the pace of the deals was extremely slow.
Drawing lessons from the last financial crisis, he added that the confidence level in the industry was high and more opportunities had opened up.
Adopting a cautious approach, the CEO said that the Company would first analyze the situation carefully and then ponder over what effect it could have on the business of the Company.
Reports suggest that TCS has also bagged the Rs 1,000 crore deals from the Ministry of External Affairs, for implementing PSKs in the country.
The Ministry of External Affairs has signed a 6-year, outsourcing deal with TCS and the first roll out of the PSKs would be in Mangalore and Hubli. (from Stock Watch)
