an interesting book that throws a different spin on google: it is the 'networking computing' compay.
eric schmidt was head of network computing at sun some time ago. if google can re-create the 'network is the computer' mantra from sun's glory days, that would be sweet vindication for schmidt. google is now becoming a web services company, and all the recent VC money is going into a) open source b) web services c) voip/video
no wonder google has just raised $4 billion through an IPO. this is a big war-chest for offering google-branded wifi access all over the us, after buying up dark fiber.
one chapter of this book is free to download. worth reading. the whole book (interestingly the book is only available in pdf for download) costs too much money to buy, some $180.
btw, i am planning to start a new technology blog and separate it from the shadow warrior stuff.

you might use the same blog with tags to differentiate the two. part of the fun in reading ur blog is that it keeps us informed of technology advancements too. the comments (especially by san) point to its application in indian scenario.
Hi Rajeev,
Please continue technological stuff in this same blog. It is easier for us, as well as you to maintain. We enjoy technological stuff along with the shadow wars at the same time.
Thanks.

Rajeev,
please go through this and let us know your take on this:
"One of the largest cellular mobile carriers, Hutchison Telecom, part of Hutchison Whampoa Limited (HWL), reportedly shared their Indian customers address database with Christian charity World Vision International (WVI). World Vision, since has started a massive fundraising drive to solicit donations from Hutch customers. The letter sent by World Vision asks Indian customers to sponsor a child, but fails to mention that World Vision is a Christian charity.
World Vision has been known to be involved in the conversion of impoverished children to Christianity often by extortion or fraud. Notably, World Vision recently protested the proposed “anti-conversion” laws in Sri Lanka that seek to prevent conversions by force and fraud. Furthermore, according to the organization’s website, World Vision hires “only candidates who agree with World Vision's Statement of Faith and/or the Apostles' Creed”, which effectively prevent non-Christians from being hired.

I agree with the others. A good mix of various topics instead of separating them out provides the reader breadth in terms of information provided. Please keep it this way instead of separating it out.
Go for the tech blog Rajeev. Great idea.
Hi Rajeev,
A single blog for both technology and slamming pseudo-seculars will suffice. It is good to read lies exposed, and technology news at the same place.
