I am from orissa. I have talked with people from other states. While discussing with them, these are the two important topics that are discussed several times.
1) Orissa is rich in ore mines and have adequete rain fall. Why Orissa is one of the poorest state in India?
2) Oriya people are poor state still it does not have naxalite problem like its neighbors. Orissa has 37% public in SC and ST, still it does not have caste based hatred like other states.
Discussion to follow.

Think Like Google:3
Google not only does things differently, it does different things to stay ahead of others. Google has done a set of products that are unique and puts Google ahead of its entire competitor. Some of the unique products are
Google Map: Need to know any place its location; look at Google map. In western countries map is essential to go to any place and Google has done good job in providing maps. In Toronto most of the rental sites provide Google map along with their ad. It is not only gives the map but also clear picture with Zooming. I like AJAX powered Google map which is fast clear and user friendly.
Google Book Search: Search is probable Google’s core strength. It provides Book search (so does Blog search). If I am looking for something I can figure out what are the books I should look at.
Google Code: Google is not only developing wonderful products but also it allows others to use its code API to develop faster. The details of Google code are available at http://code.google.com/. Google APIs are powerful easy to develop.
iGoogle: When at client's place I use client's webpage at my home page and when at home Google is my home page. There are many other people who use Google as their home page. Google powered by iGoogle makes page more interesting. You can add your favorite web pages to Google page.
Docs & Spreadsheets: Want to store your documents online? Google document allows storing and editing document. It allows uploading word documents in open office, RTF, HTML and downloading to your desktop as Word PDF and others.
Google Translate: In my last trip to Zurich, I used to get every letter in German. I and all my friends don't have any knowledge about German. So we have the choice to keep guessing, ask some local people or use Google translator. And most of us opted third option.
Google Map: Need to know any place its location; look at Google map. In western countries map is essential to go to any place and Google has done good job in providing maps.

Think Like Google:2
Google does things differently. It is famous for its innovation. The complete list of Google product is available at http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/
Some of the products redefined the products and brought revolution. Some of them are
1) Google Search Engine: When anybody talks about Google, we understand it as the Google search Engine. Google is not the first to provide search Engine. Yahoo and MSN has search Engine prior to Google. Google redefined search criteria and now most people use Google as search Engine and I use Google as a synonym of search Engine.
2) Gmail: Two years ago, I did not have a personal hard disk. So I need to keep my important documents in the internet. I need to delete my mails regularly to keep the mail box limit in size. I have multiple mail accounts in order to keep all my documents. Gmail redefined the web mail and provided 1 GB for mail where as others were offering around five MB mail box. Others followed the suite. On the top of it Gmail is free from the flashy ads, it is more readable. It is based on AJAX and faster than other mails. Gmail does not provide some of the features provided by rivals. However it is responsible for the revolution and better user experience for web mail.
3) Orkut: I have lost contacts with most of college friends after I completed my engineering. I have contacted more friends in last year than past 9 years. The credit goes to orkut. Orkut affiliated by Google is the largest social networking site. Communities and scraping is common among people. Adding photo and videos makes it more powerful. What I like most about Orkut is centralized place where I can update my details and friends can get it by looking at my profile. No need to inform anybody about it.
4) Google Toolbar: Bookmark is essential for people who surf frequently. I prefer my bookmark to be at my machine and at internet, so that I can download at another computer and use it at new place. Google Toolbar provides the functionality (other compotators such as yahoo tool bar provides the same functionality.) It gives other functionality such as spell check smart search, add buttons and share your web. It also provides features such pop up blocker.
5) YouTube: You Tube changed the concept of video sharing in globe. Now we can share it and access anywhere. It is not a product developed by Google, however it enhanced the capabilities of products by Google.
To be contd..

Think Like Google:1
In the last week I have read three interesting news regarding google, which enforced my thought that google is doing something unique and thinking in google way is different than others. The news are
1) Google is the best brand ahead of GE, Walmart and Microsoft.
2) Google is the first choice for students in American B-Schools.
3) Ther is a grape vine that Microsoft will buy Yahoo Inc. to compete with Google.
All the news shows Google in a positive light. Google is leading the world because of its innovations. It is doing things differently and doing different things. It has wonderful sets of products such as google search, gmail, google earth, orkut, yutubes etc.

Copy paste and Bookmark
I am into Information technology. We copy and paste code lot of times from what is available freely. Once I was talking to a friend who was denouncing software proffessionals for copy pasting. Is copy pasting easy? Answer is yes, if you know what to copy and how to find it and where to paste it. It takes nothing to copy and paste it and a genious to find what to copy and where to paste and a smart proactive person to find what to copy in stipulated amount of time.
I rely on copy pasting instead of memorising everything. It saves time and enrgy and makes sure that there is no syntax error. I do customize the code. I book mark the sites which I use extensively for copying the code.
It is painful when I loose my bookmark, I have to start everything from the scratch. Google has gone one step beyond and now we can book mark using google bar. Wherever I go my bookmark follows me:)

Open Source
We need some sponsers who will support the open source products and project. It is important to get support when needed. IWhy will anybody support open source projects? If you are asking the same question as me, then ask JBoss. Apache supports lots of open source projects. Sun Microsystems has joined open source arena. IBM supports linux and open source. Go to sourceforge.net, you will find lots of corporate who support the hosting of open source. The reason being??
I am a techy guy who has little knowledge on finance. I believe it is because of demand and supply. When developers and Business wants open source products and greater control corporates try to provide the same.

Open Source
Third kind of stake holders are developers who work on open source project.
Why will someone make his source code open? It is simple. When certain features are not available at products one creates its own open source project and which has been taken by a community. Let us look at the following case studies
1) Let us take the example of ant tool in java. There are no unique build utility in java such as make function in C or Cpp. James Duncan Davidson tried building some utility which will build and do something simillar to make. And donated it to the apache community. And today ant works in a more clearer way than make and easy to use. many of the commercial build tools are based on ant.
2) I met Proffesor Gustavo Alonso in ETH. He was working or certain projects with his students. After completion of the project, they either sell it to any vendor or make it open source.
3)
There are no tools as of today which supports SOA Transaction. Benjamin Liberman developed a Transaction Cordinator Service which is available as open source to start the work.
Some of the projects give production quality code where as some others need further work to deploy it at production.
