Two articles from the recent issues of Spectrum attracted me.
Why CPU Frequency Stalled : Is something which I knew, but never explored beyond my general knowledge. The data presented provides the evidence of why we never see the CPUs beyond 2 GhZ. My eary years of career as a industrial design engineer to tacked the over heating issues of Supercomputers came to use. Still heating is an issue for servers and high performance computers. The ugly industrial air-conditioners and the air cutting noise due to them; is something which I could never tolerate. They ruin the meditating sernety of Supercomputers. Hopefully a day will come, there will be no need for them !!!
An engineer walks into a comedy club...: provided me some relief. If at all, amongst all the circumstances of life, there is no IT and no related business; perhaps I need to change my course in life. Well, my stretched acting career till high school and college days will come for a rescue. I never took that part of life forward. Neverthless, it is always true 'Inside every engineer, there lies an artist'. Bravo !! Corinna !! You are providing new lights .... I should store the jokes in my mailbox and practice my rhetoric delivery in front of mirror !!

- Near death experience of Outsourcing -
Outsourcing, offshoring ...yes, the discussions and my delibeartions for last couple of weeks are on this issue.
It starts from Prof. Anand Gopal to the recent article by Sramana Mitra. Her article, although well poised, but does not bring my senses into agreement, and I find the article biased. My disagreement starts from :
“India's $30 billion IT/ITES services industry, meanwhile, is slowly and surely losing its competitive advantage. They are complacent. They will not take risks. They have "outsourced" thinking to their customers”.
With the prediction that Indian IT services and outsourcing sectors is going to touch more than US$100bn in few years, her arguments does not sound true. Interstingly before I even finish this write up in blog and think about it ratonaly, the counter argument is already been done by Philip J. Fersht.
