Are IIM's Really the Best- I.R Sharma
RC Bharagava has recently made certain very relevant remarks about what and how IIMs are manufacturing management graduates. IIMs attract the best brains of India that include engineers, doctors, accountants, arts, science, and commerce graduates and even some from those selected in administrative services. Even hordes of IITians after getting the specialized training and knowledge of engineering join IIMs. Unfortunately, most of the students are without any work experiences. I am one of the many who disapprove this......Read More

Patience is probably your only pal if you are using the Internet on the go.
With data cards falling to speeds under 10 kbps, there may be times when it takes all your self control to stop from chucking that laptop out of the window.
Here are some tips for those suffering form this bandwidth withdrawal syndrome on the go.
1)Go for the right browser
First, get a browser that will help you save bandwidth. Mozilla Firefox, for instance, works on compression techniques that will load Web pages much faster. Second, advertisements, especially Flash-based ones, are a major bandwidth hog. Kill these and you will end up saving a considerable amount of bandwidth. For this, Firefox comes with a couple of good add-ons such as Adblocker and Flashblocker. Also tweak your Explorer’s setting to disable images when not required and you will see the pages loading much quicker. For this you could use another Firefox extension called Imglikeopera Extension. This will load images from cachethis saves images on your PC, so they don’t require to be summoned from the respective websites -- thus saving bandwidth.
While on the topic of images, while sending pictures, make sure you are not transferring high-resolution ones. Use a photo editor programme like Microsoft Image Resizer to shrink pictures before you send them via email or upload them on a website.
2)Go for offline browsing
Webaroo (www.webaroo. com) is another interesting application for the bandwidth starved. This is an offline browsing programme that basically downloads pages from sites that you frequently visit on to your hard disk, thus making them locally available. The latest version, Webaroo 2, also lets you download videos from YouTube, Metacafe, Google Videos and other sites as well as download Flickr Photos by user, group and photoset. It’s also a good idea to have this handy if you subscribe to tons of RSS feeds. The application also offers change alerts and download suggestions on interesting videos and photos if you like, but this feature can get slightly irritating if you are working on the go.
3)Avoid auto updates
Auto updates might be a good thing for those working on a healthy Internet. But for those working on threadbare speeds, it’s a good idea to turn these off. Because these programmes keep downloading latest updates from the Internet as soon as they are available, they end up using precious bandwidth, eventually adding to your bill.
4)In hurry? Shun streaming.
Streaming sites such as YouTube or Metacafe are other bandwidth killers, so if you are on the go don’t touch these. Similarly, avoid streaming music sites that offer radio, since these add considerable strain to your browsing on the go.
5)Compressor programmes
If your connection calls for more dire measures, then you might need to shell out some extra money and get a permanent compressor programme like On-Speed (www.onspeed.com). This works like a charm if you work with image-heavy sites, because it compresses every single image, making pages lighter. However, bear in mind that since the system works by compressing the graphics, it also reduces their quality. This wonङt matter with most sites where the graphics have no useful function. But you might want to read the fine print before you sign up for programmes like this, mainly because if all your pages are going via OnSpeed then it knows what you are doing, and this information is valuable for serving ads
