Re: Indian IT Industry
On the speech recognition aspect on small devices...never liked them anyway; the capability is pretty weak and add accent to the mix they are pretty much unusable.

Re: Terror Attacks on Mumbai-II
I got an email today with video captures of Terrorists at CST caught on CCTV. Two guys in their 20's, well groomed and wearing T shirts carrying AK-47's and a blue bag. I haven't seen those pictures published on any major news outlets except this one in BBC http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/4524...
