Google vs Microsoft

It’s easy to argue that the primary reason Microsoft has become the world’s largest software maker is that the company has repeatedly shown the ability to ship products. Even though the products may not be perfect and they may not meet the original ship date, Microsoft has proven that it almost always knows when the products are good enough to release to the market.

Google is emerging as one of Microsoft’s key competitors in the software business - perhaps even its biggest competitor within a few years - but Google has not mastered the “good enough” principle. Google software engineers have arguably created only two highly-profitable hit products: the ubiquitous Google.com search engine and the Web-based email client Gmail.

However, Google’s “continuous beta” approach that it used to build those two products will not satisfy the customers of two new market segments that Google wants to win: smartphone software and enterprise software ( Why ? ).

Google’s approach to innovation works well for building widgets and tools for the Internet and Google will continue its dominance in those areas.

However, if Google wants to succeed in smartphones and business applications then it’s going to have to create dedicated teams/departments within Google that are much more process-oriented and focused on product quality from end-to-end. The never-ending beta is not going to cut it in the smartphone world or the enterprise IT world.

Nature at its best....

Amazing striped icebergs

Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions.

Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.

When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe.

Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.

Disappearing Gangotri Glacier!!!!

I was just randomly scanning through channels and happened to bump into "The Melting Point", a world environment day special on CNN IBN. I was in fact shocked after seeing the program.

The Melting Point throws light on how the glaciers around the world are affected by global warming citing the example of the Gangotri in the Himalayas.

For all you people sitting and thinking that we have not been hit by global warming this is a must watch video.




We as individuals should strive and work towards a eco-friendly life style else the day will not be far when the perils of global warming will knock your door.
