Google’s New Competitor Wolfram Alpha Search Engine Coming This May
The long-expected Wolfram Alpha search engine is due to be launched this month. We are waiting for it anxiously as unfortunately we didn’t get the opportunity to test it, however, others did and it looks amazing. I will start with the fact that many said that this is the Google Killer, but in fact Wolfram Alpha is not a conventional search engine, it is more a computational knowledge engine which is based on ideas from Stephen Wolfram. Recently, Google launched its public data search, and not even that can be compared to Wolfram Alpha.
Don’t think of Wolfram Alpha as a Google Killer, though, because frankly Google doesn’t really have anything like it—except for maybe Google’s new public data search, which, while impressive, doesn’t look nearly as robust as Wolfram Alpha. (Then again, we’ll have to wait and see how well Wolfram Alpha works when it gets in the hands of the public.) Either way, Google will still corner the market on most normal search. (We’re not always looking for the kind of answers Wolfram Alpha provides when we hit up Google.) As for how this editor uses Google and Wikipedia, I’d actually imagine that Wolfram Alpha could be more of a Wikipedia competitor than a Google competitor.
The system, Wolfram Alpha, was developed by Stephen Wolfram (49), a British physicist, and showcased at Harvard University in the U.S. last week. “Revolutionary new web software could put giants such as Google in the shade,” the daily claimed. Although the system is still new, it has already attracted massive hype among technology pundits, it added.
“Wolfram Alpha will not only give a straight answer to questions such as ‘how high is Mount Everest?’ but it will also produce a neat page of related information — all properly sourced — such as geographical location and nearby towns, and other mountains, complete with graphs and charts,” it said. “Or ask what the weather was like in London on the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated, it will cross-check and provide the answer.”

White House email system crashes
NEW YORK: Barack Obama's aides, who ran the most tech-savvy US election campaign in history, were forced into a red-faced admission on Monday -- the White House email system has crashed.
"Our email system is not working so well," press spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters at the start of his daily briefing.
"We'll endeavor to get you information from earlier in the day, hopefully in a little bit more of a timely manner, if we can get the email to work."
At one stage, Obama aides were forced to turn back the clock and hand out copies of memoranda signed by the president on cutting global warming, not via email as is normal, but by the dead tree method, on paper.
Outsourcing faces new era of scrutiny
27th January 2009
Adding to the sector's troubles are the massive corporate fraud uncovered recently at Satyam Computer Services Ltd, India's fourth largest software services provider. The scandal has Satyam customers scrambling to find alternative providers.
Other offshore services providers report stepped-up scrutiny from clients of their own corporate governance and financial viability. It has also revived questions about the trustworthiness of Indian accounts and the adequacy of corporate controls.
That's a big black eye for an industry that sells risk management and corporate governance services as a major client offering. It may raise the risk premium investors require for holding these stocks. Rising competition isn't the only threat to offshore outsourcers' margins.
Many of the more profitable, longer-term contracts worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are being put on hold as companies scramble to reassess their business strategies.
Customers want more control over projects and are demanding fixed-price deals that are more likely than not to limit margin growth. Infosys, Tata and others say they are doing their best to make up for price cuts by driving greater sales volumes.

Infosys said in early January that it expected to pull in revenue of $1.13 billion to $1.17 billion for the March quarter.
Also on Tuesday, Shibulal said the Indian technology company does not expect it will need to tap the capital markets.
UK launches "Google for films" search engine
28th January 2009
LONDON: Fancy checking out the classic 1960s Japanese horror flick "Onibaba", or indulging in a bit of old-fashioned British comedy with "The Lavender Hill Mob"?
The UK Film Council is launching a search engine that will help British moviegoers track down their favourite films, from the mainstream to the obscure.
The website is free to use and contains records of more than 30,000 films, or roughly seven years' worth of viewing, and they come in 20 genres and over 60 languages.
"Like a Google for films, it is the first time anything like this has been delivered on the Internet that indexes all available films in the UK and is totally free to use," the council said in a statement.
