for those who thought Google never made mistakes...

Is there anything fishy with Google Calendar?

Well although so far so good. We are getting great free services from this company. But in this regard i would like to mention you the demat account case of Jodhpur.

Some photo studio's came up with this very kewl free trial scheme where you could get your free snaps taken and developed. Under this trial scheme, thousands of people exploited the scheme and got their snaps done. No one bothered to think why the shop was giving out free snaps and how it was making profit from it. Then only to realise one day that a scam had been uncovered, and their names and photos were used to register thousands of false demat accounts.

I am not saying google will exploit us that bad, but it can do some interesting stuff with it. It can become the bad medicine that Microsoft has become for us. We don't want to take it, but can't live without it.

After all if I have a business and I want to use a business email, why not buy an email account? Rather than relying on Gmail. You never know when Gmail decides that you have broken policies and shuts your account. Apart from that, you are simply handing over your personal data to gmail, which is surely not the best deed. (Since we have this quite infamous rumour that they don't delete a single mail that you recieve.)

Now we have this new service called Google Calendar, which seems just as dubious as its Gmail service. With being able to let others sync to our calendars, its a really innovative method of letting others know of your schedule so that they can adjust their schedules etc. Despite all the plus points it just moves one step closer to occupying every user's online life. I don't know about others, but I don't know why I would like people to know about my schedules. If they want to sync with me, they can always ask. What if I throw a private party to selected few, and one of those makes a Google calendar entry? I would face 'discrimination charges' from my all other contacts.
Apart from that, it has the wierd strategy of importing calendars. It allows you to import calendars from outlook, evolution etc, but not export back. Well that is fishy enough to discuss further.

I am fine with softwares like Evolution where I can do most of my day to day scheduling jobs. Some how I have been gripped by Gmail. I still can't figure out how to get rid of it. It's far more simpler to have a 3GB easily searcheable mailbox than burning your archived emails onto CD/DVDs (that i used to do earlier). However wonderful, I still find it a real risky business to deal with. I am still trying my best to get back to my previous routine.

In the end I would like the readers to rethink and decide the share of their lives that they would like to place in Google's hand.

HCL's ad shows wrong map of India !!!

Now there is something definitely very wrong with the Map of India shown in the HCL's ad of People Less office.

Kashmir has been cut off from the LoC as it seems. That is not the way an Indian company should be showing India's Map, that too on Indian TV channels. Whoever made this ad should be fined for the act.

It is a humiliation for the Indians, we do not follow the American mapping standards. I don't know how many have noticed this, but something should be done about it.

Now the HCL's animated characters are waiting to be named! Well yeah call them bunty bubbly who cares? Atleast straighten the god damn map of our mother land!

Hexaware Recruitment Process, a low standard demonstration

I write this to enlighten all the students appearing for Hexaware Fresher recruitment via G4 Solutions...

I must tell all of you that G4 is an absolute bullshit. www.g4careermapping.com
They charge you Rs. 450/- for giving their CBT and then take a GD process.

The hilarious part is, those short listed by G4 are by no means the final interview candidates!!! (unlike claimed by them) At the last moment the Hexaware people will walk in and say that we have slight change in plans... and then they will take another written which is hilariously out of common man's bounds. They ask electronics questions to Comp. Sci people and all kinds of awkward questions which you would have definitely not expected. Hence, that round becomes a "Fluke" round.

What the hell!!! If Hexaware didnt trust G4 why the hell did it outsource the selection process to it??? Knocks me off. I got eliminated in the "Fluke" round... I tried to convince the so called in charge of Hexaware selection process to consider me for an interview (after all i had cleared all previous rounds and this round wasnt expected) but he was too arrogant to even listen.

I suggest to everyone, that please do not go for the recruitment process if being conducted by G4 Solutions. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE WEIRD SELECTION PROCEDURE UNTIL AND UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO THROW OFF 450 bucks.
