Banned from Google+, Hackers launch social site AnonPlus


If you heard about Microsoft's upcoming social network Tulalip, here is another! After being banned form Google's latest social networking site Google Plus, the notorious hacker group Anonymous has announced the launch of their own social networking site dubbed as AnonPlus. Few Days back, Google deleted Your Anon News group's profile page from Google+ for allegedly violating community standards. Few hours after this, the hacker group announced their plan to launch new social site where evry users will be anonymous.

"As some of you know we got banned from Google+ due to some of our content. What we didn't know at the time is that we were just one of a handfull of Anonymous accounts that was silenced. This is the sad fact of what happens across the internet when you walk to a different beat of the drum," group wrote in a blog post.

"We've all heard the stories of activists being banned from FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube, and governments blocking their people from these sites as well through organized black outs. That day has came to an end. Not only did a few people organized an Operation ageist Google+, but we have started to build our own Social Network."

The group said that the new site will be totally different from the current social sites. "This is one social network that will not tolerate being shut down, censored, or oppressed - even in the face of blackout,"

The new AnonPlus social networking has not yet launched for the public as it's in production stage. The hacker group said that it's a new "revolution" and users will not have to face any censorship.

"Welcome to AnonPlus. This will be your future. This will be our future. Today, we welcome you to begin a new... to watch this glorious incipience happen one upon which will you never your back on. Welcome to the Revolution, a new social network where there is no fear... of censorship... of blackout... nor of holding back, " message on AnonPlus said.

4 Indians named in All Time Test XI


The public has spoken: current Indian cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag as well as former players Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar have been named in the Great All Time Test XI chosen in an online poll. Sehwag and Gavaskar took both the openers' slots. They beat competition from the likes of Geoffrey Boycott, Jack Hobbs, Len Hutton, Hanif Mohammad and Herbert Sutcliffe.

Two West Indians, one Pakistani and four Aussies also made it to Peoples' Dream XI as more than 250,000 people voted on ICC's official website as part of the lead-in to the England-India Test match at Lord's to celebrate the 2000th cricket Test.

Tendulkar secured the no. 4 batting spot, one slot down Australian legend Don Bradman and one above West Indian Brian Lara, who was chosen at number five. The three beat the likes of Greg Chappell, Wally Hammond, George Headley, Javed Miandad, Graeme Pollock, Ricky Ponting and Vivian Richards.

Kapil was chosen as the only all-rounder ahead of the likes of Ian Botham, Richard Hadlee, Jacques Kallis, Imran Khan, Gary Sobers and Frank Worrell.

Australian Adam Gilchrist made it into the team as wicket-keeper by beating the likes of Mark Boucher, Jeff Dujon and Rod Marsh while Shane Warne got the approval of online voters, beating out India's Bishen Bedi and Anil Kumble and Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan.

Microsoft entering the social networking domain?


Internet giant Microsoft may soon be a player in the social domain. First spotted by fusible.com, going to socl.com reveals a landing page for a new social networking site where users can log in with their Facebook or Twitter accounts. As of now, logging on to the site displays a message that reads, "Thanks for stopping by. Socl.com is an internal design project from a team in Microsoft Research, which was mistakenly published to the web. We didn't mean to, honest."

The service supposedly called "Tulalip" sounds like a real tongue twister but sounds catchy at the same time.

How Microsoft plans to makes its name in the social networking circle still remains to be seen. The fact that you can log in with your Facebook or Twitter account eliminates the need for you to have a separate login account all together.

As of today, Microsoft's gaming hardware, the XBOX 360 is a market leader when it comes to social networking on gaming consoles with Twitter and Facebook integration on the consoles XBOX Live service.

Facebook is still the largest social networking group with over 750 million subscribers. Google Plus recently launched by the search giant already has an install base of over 10 million users.

Google+ Ad On Facebook Is Banned


What happens on Google+, stays on Google+. At least that’s the way Facebook would like to see things. Web developer Michael Lee Johnson found that out the hard way. He was trolling for Google+ friends on Facebook by running a Facebook ad asking people to add him to their Circles on Google+. Facebook, apparently, did not like him using its site to build his own social network somewhere else. So it pulled his ads. He writes on Google+:

I recently ran a Google+ advertisement on Facebook that got all of my campaigns suspended. – Great.

Yeah, Facebook frowns on people promoting competing products with Facebook ads. It’s even in its Terms of Service. But seriously, where else is he going to find friends for Google+?

Infosys to hire 12,000 in Q2, 45,000 in FY12


India's second largest software exporter, Infosys is set to increase its headcount further by recruiting nearly 12,000 additional staff in the current July-September quarter. The firm is maintaining its annual target of hiring 45,000 additional employees. It total strength as on June 30, 2010-11 was 1,33,560 people The demand for workforce has increased with the pickup in business and increased IT expenditure. The IT company has already offered 26,000 job positions through campus placements this year.

The net profit of Infosys rose by 15.72% in the quarter ended 30 June, 2011-12 from Rs 1,488 crore in Q1 2010-11. However, it reported a decline in its net profit by 5.4% at Rs 1,722 crore in Q1, 2011-12 from Rs 1,818 crore in the January-March period of 2010-11.

The company is hopeful of containing the employee costs in the coming quarters.

1,000 Days until Windows XP End of Life

In 1,000 days Microsoft will pull the plug on the operating system which it released back in 2001 and that still dominates the OS market.

The aging platform is already a decade old, almost, and will still pile up another three years, but come 2014, the Redmond company will discontinue all support for Windows XP.
XP is even now running on what some might interpret as borrowed time, since the software giant already retired Mainstream Support for the operating system.
On April 8, 2014, Microsoft will also no longer provide Extended Support for XP, which gives users little chance but to make the jump to another OS.
“On April 8, 2014, security patches and hotfixes for all versions of Windows XP will no longer be available. So bottom line, PC’s running Windows XP will be vulnerable to security threats,” revealed Microsoft’s Stephen L Rose.
“Furthermore, many third party software providers are not planning to extend support for their applications running on Windows XP, which translates to even more complexity, security risks, and ultimately, added management costs for your IT department if you’re still managing Windows XP environments.”
End of support is nothing short of a death sentence for XP. Make no mistake about it, XP can be considered obsolete even today, despite the fact that it’s still undisputed king of the OS market.
My personal prediction is that XP will lose its crown soon enough, even ahead of Windows 8’s launch, to Windows 7.
For those users that want to stick to Windows, the only viable alternative to XP for the time being is Windows 7. Even by the most optimistic estimates, Windows 8, the next major iteration of Windows, is approximately a year away.
Service Pack 3 (SP3) was the last upgrade provided to 32-bit (x86) XP, and similarly, SP2 was the last for 64-bit (x64) flavor of the platform. Microsoft will no longer release any additional service packs for Windows XP.

Zuckerberg closes off his Google+ account

Wasn't it only a week ago that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was explaining to us yet again that we're all sharing more and more things with more and more people because we need to spread more and more of our love around the world?
And wasn't it mere days ago that he became the most followed human being on Google+?
I feel sullied beyond my normal coping mechanisms to tell you that he suddenly seems to have closed off his Google+ account from public eyes and disappeared from the Google+ popularity charts.


The Inquirer seems to have been the first to notice that Facebook's CEO has become curiously coy.
Moreover, Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten, the stat man for Social Statistics, which gleefully presented the first results of Google+'s most-followed humans, offered that Zuckerberg was not alone in Coyville: "Mark Zuckerberg and Google management (Matt Cutts, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Vic Gundotra, and Marissa Mayer) all changed their profiles overnight and consequently dropped out of the Google+ top 100 list!"
Some may be pained at this news. They might have viewed Zuckerberg's entry and popularity as a fine Trojan horse infiltrating Google's new playground. I did, indeed, contact Facebook to see whether there might be some official explanation for this depressing, Howard Hughesian moment. This is the company's most cryptic reply: "We're in the early days of making the Web more social, and there are opportunities for innovation everywhere."
Of course, there will be some who will marvel at the lovely mental compartmentalization of someone who last year cheerily made lists of Facebook friends terribly public, thereby exempting them (until the usual uproar) from privacy settings. On Google+, however, we have no idea who Zuckerberg's friends might now be. (Oh, look. The Google+ default is to make your friends public, too.)
A few might be cheered, however, that Zuckerberg appears to have replaced the rather deer-in-the-camera-lights picture he had originally posted to Google+ with something more relaxed, more dignified, more brand-appropriate.
He's smiling now, you see. He doesn't fear Google+ anymore. He's just worried what some people might want to share with him, that's all.

Somehow, she missed to read the placement ad properly, where the Group D aspect of the post involving sweeping floors(peon's job). This is what happens when you fail to read ad completelyShe even had attractive and well-paying job but was tempted by the security and stability that a government job provides. But, she was not prepared for the kind of job the CAG had in mind.

"Initially, We were confused as to why she had applied for this job. She has been working as a techie with Infosys. We questioned her, whether she want to sweep the floors here," said an official, who interviewd her.

"At first, she couldn't believe the fact that she had applied for a sweeper post. Finally, the software engineer smiled after realising that she made a fool of herself," adds the official.

So, be careful while applying for jobs from now. As, there might be a chance to make a fool of yourself.
