Oracle buys Convergin
Oracle has announced buying out of Convergin. The never ending hunger of the giant that Oracle is, just doesn’t show any signs of tiring down.
Convergin is an Israeli based start-up. They are leading providers of real-time service brokering solutions. A service brokering solution is a software that lets telcos deliver services across multiple networks and platforms.
Google goes down??
whoa.. just couldn’t resist posting this…
just tried to log onto Google.com.. look what I found..
Google Down
Google advertising its Search??
Is the Bing competition really heating up enough to give Google the jitters? That is the question that you may ask on the basis of Bing’s rising popularity, and Bing fast becoming the engine of choice for many.
Yet, this seems premature since at least one of the reports has shown Google Search still occupying the apex position with more than 72% of Search Market share. Search has been one of the biggest cash cows for Google, which it continues to milk. Whether it is happening today or not, Google probably cannot risk it.
Somebody has said, “The best mode of Defence, is Offence”.
Fastest Web Application yet??
I just had to share this!
How fast do you think can you build a fully functional Web Application? A little bit of twist here. The Web Application must have the Session Handling facility through Java Session Beans. It can optionally make use of Java Service Facades (I am still wondering what in the world that is!!).
A month, 10 days, 5 days??
Google gives words a new meaning
Now that Internet is beginning to threaten so many Traditional Trades and territories, things just keep coming with a greater force. Twitter, TV Channels, and other social media have defined the doom of the Newspapers as we know them today. There have been several reports, where people prefer using some of the online media for getting information faster rather than waiting for the newspaper to arrive at the doors the next day.
Managing Intellectual Properties
hmmmmm.. Interesting!! Tell me honestly, have you ever thought of this aspect?
A very warm Hi to all the readers of my blogs here. I am expected to move in as a Business Analyst for an upcoming opportunity in NY State shortly. As a normal practice, I sat with the existing Technical/ non-Techie people of the team today trying to understand the application. Mark my words, it’s a complex maze of views, screens, integrations, lots of known / hitherto unknown IDs, and definitely, very colourful. I am sure it must be as per the client requests and a baby of the pretty abused term, the “Agile Methodology”!!
Changes to the Oracle Homepage?
Just browsing through the Internet, particularly the Oracle Homepage, http://www.oracle.com, I noticed it to be a little different than the way I had seen it in the past. The changes are subtle, but, in Web Designing, it is these subtle changes which bring about a big difference! 
CRUD
No, I am not referring to the Billiards game here. While browsing the Internet, I keep coming across a plethora of new technical terms everyday.
One such term I came across recently is ‘CRUD’. If you already know what it is, this post is not for you!!

Google Mobile blurring boundaries?
I always used to think, are the mobile phones with their teeny weeny power, ever going to match the mammoth options I have with my Desktop. I, personally, am not even all that big a fan of Laptops despite so many people touting the umptieth number of benefits of Laptops over Desktops. I just can’t get over the humongous power of my Desktop over even the Best lappy available in the market.
Query on the Long Column or Field
A typical problem in any EAI project. Others too!!
One of the most common ways of building custom Error Handling or Logging mechanisms include dumping huge messages and XMLs in the database for future reference. It works as an excellent logging mechanism which can be pulled out in case something in the system fails.
