Sometime ago I got a mail from Gina Masongsong, who is working with Yahoo on contract position, they are looking for some people to work with Yahoo. They asked me if I know any programmer, who may be willing to work with Yahoo, so I am posting this message here. You can send your resumes to them at gmasongsong@vadoinc.com

It has been over a year since UTI Bank set up its call center that handles over 7,000 calls per day. The bank was looking for a robust platform that could guarantee it “high availability of services and uninterrupted call traffic”. It had options but finally decided on Linux for its core business applications.

“Today, we are really happy with Linux that has delivered 99.99 per cent uptime so far,” says Pritesh Thaker, AVP, IT, UTI Bank. The bank, in fact, is now planning to base its credit card-based system on Linux too.

A good Study at Rediff

With a high-profile executive speech at LinuxWorld and the launch of a new Web site focusing on open source, Microsoft has been cozying up to the Linux penguin this week.

Microsoft stunned LinuxWorld attendees last week by pledging to support Linux virtual machines on its Virtual Server and revealing free virtual machine additions for Red Hat Linux and Novell SUSE Linux. It wasn’t the only dogs-playing-with-cats kind of moment last week: Apple offered up software to let Windows run on Intel-based Macs.

What’s going on here? The answer is virtualization, the ability to much more easily carve up servers and PCs into compartments that can run multiple applications under different operating systems at the same time. Business interest in virtualization–particularly of servers–is picking up quickly, and vendors are racing to stake out this emerging market. The result could blur some of the hard-and-fast lines drawn between operating systems.

The appeal can be seen at RSA Security, where software engineers used to run from room to room setting up different server hardware, application, and operating system combinations to test new security products. Today, a developer tells the data center which environments are needed, and they’re created as virtual machines that can run different apps on Windows or Linux, using the same server hardware, says RSA engineering director Roy Rezac. Two or more developers’ virtual machines may even run simultaneously on one pizza-box-sized, rack-mounted server. Businesses see that flexibility lowering costs, improving load balancing, and increasing server utilization and consolidation.

In first half of April 2006, we got two big news from Open Source community, First Novell’s Open Linux will provide .NET environment support, so you can easily run .NET applications on Linux, Second RedHat Inc, the Microsoft of Linux Community has acquired JBOSS, an Application server for JAVA.

At the annual LinuxWorld Conference, Novell discusses its OpenSUSE build service as part of a new Linux build service framework that will become the development platform for future SUSE Linux distributions.

Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions to the enterprise, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire JBoss, the global leader in open source middleware. By acquiring JBoss, Red Hat expects to accelerate the shift to service-oriented architectures (SOA), by enabling the next generation of web-enabled applications running on a low-cost, open source platform.

“It is at Red Hat’s very core to help unlock the power of open source and open communities to innovate across industries, geographies and economies,” said Matthew Szulik, Chairman and CEO of Red Hat. “Red Hat and JBoss are fully aligned around the belief that the open source development model continues to change the economics of enterprise IT in favor of the customer, and we truly believe in the potential of software innovation, once freed from the fetters of proprietary development.”

PTI has reported that an Indian researcher, Bangalore-based, Debasis Mohanty,
has cracked the so-called impregnable Windows Genuine Advantage of Microsoft.

According to report, he broke WGA through an “easy-to-exploit” flaw in the software for
generating illegal copies of the Windows XP program.

WGA is an anti-piracy program that keeps an eye on consumers whether they are
running legitimately licensed copies of Windows XP.

Microsoft confirmed Mohanty’s success at cracking the WGA, yet, the world’s leading software manufacturer tried to downplay it saying, “It represents very little threat.”

A company spokesperson told PTI that they did expect hackers to try numerous methods to evade safeguards provided by WGA.

Mohanty has posted a comprehensive proof-of-concept program on the high-profile security mailing list of the software giant.

The program indicated how the WGA validation check could be tricked to generate key codes for use on illegal copies of the software, reported PTI.

After initital ‘No Comment’ Mode, Google’s chief executive confirmed that the firm is looking at online payments.

Hope things will improve after Google Wallet launch.

According to google chief google is not going to create a person-to-person stored-value payments system – which is PayPal’s model.

Acconding to Google e-commerce can be improved and they are working on ways to improve the user experience.

PayPal is one of the most popular methods of paying on the Internet without using the credit card. In fact, no cash transaction is generally involved as users can just transfer money using their e-mail ids.

However, it seems like problems are in store for them as the latest reports in claims that Search Engine Giant Google is considering entering this online payment module market. eBay (Now the owner of Paypal) is a big customer of Google’s online advertisement system and such a move can prove to be quite costly for the e-commerce giant.

The story was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
WSJ cited sources familiar to Google Inc. and are said to be quite trustworthy. Google on their part have refused to comment on these rumors floating on the Internet.

Google’s entry into the online payment system can be quite damaging for the eBay group. It collects a sizeable amount of fee for the online transactions and competition from Google would lead to depleting profits affecting the day-to-day running of the company. Google has good reasons to look into this market considering a bulk of their revenues come from the online advertisement market which is expected to get complicated with the entry of Yahoo! and possibly Microsoft services later this year.
