A Smarter Web
New technologies will make online search more intelligent--and may even lead to a "Web 3.0."

Since I'm reading on (won't say working on) Semantic web as my BTech Project is somewhat based on it, such news items catch my eye occasionally. Nice read for those new to the idea.
Also watch Tim Berners-Lee (must have heard of him) on the same website.

IT stocks battered as rupee hits 7-yr high

Now when rupee is gaining against dollar, it has many people worried. Funny thing it is, like inflation. I remember after the Pokharan tests when sanctions were imposed, rupee declined from around 35/dollar to 43/dollar. And then when US and most others rolled back the sanctions, I naively thought rupee would go back to the old value. Still don't understand much of the dynamics that goes behind these changes but its not as bad as that 9th standard kid's perception.
I guess IT (and others affected by it) won't have a problem in finding a way around (like switching over to Euro, as they mentioned somewhere)
