Conspiracy theory – II

Google reigns supreme, already, latest quotes say it owns 64% of the market share in search.

Here is the puncher

SAP,ORACLE,SALESFORCE all these become defunct by 2015, GOOGLE will , by the power of its search, customize-ability, data of nearly everyone, in the form of print, photos, videos, audio,maps, gps tagging etc.., along with their  hardware, would build a super algorithm to identify somebody’s needs. For example a process of raising purchase orde, will no longer be required as Google understands your market patterns and asks you to make products, also analysing the complete chain you use to make your products, and contacts various vendors for you and promises the best deal, all they would charge is a mere 10$ per transaction. This might seem small but imagine the number of purchase orders happening in the world at any given time. Consider ONLY 64% of it. After all what is a purchase order, it is data, THAT CAN BE SEARCHED

Now for some facts/or is it facts…

Coders Vs Programmers

A few days ago, I was reading in Times of India an article enunciating the difference between coders and programmers. It went to some effect of this sort. Coders: They are the ones who code based on somebody’s design/ideas. Programmers are the ones not only they code, but also design.

Ok now unfortunately, a large percentage of the population in India(software techies) are coders. Sounds bad I know, but we are so.

Why this situation is in place: Very simple, we do not stick long enough in doing something, nor do we try and understand the intricacies of business. Not many of us realise that technology is a tool and not the end of everything. Till the day we do not explore the business/human needs of something, and apply technology it never helps. What pains more is, how many people who know Java/J2ee or any other platform are true experts of it. I mean not the certification kind, but of the passionate kind. Very few, so even if we have some geeks in a certain technology, we still have coders rather than having programmers, programmers who can change the next gen of business/human needs.

Anybody out there who are other than coders, please do something to increase others.

Conspiracy Theory

From today I’m starting a new pulp section in my blog, I call it ‘Conspiracy Theories’. As somebody said, spreading rumors is faster than wild fire.

Here is the first one.

Greg Chappell is a spy from Australia and he became the coach of the Indian team, because Australia felt that the Indian Cricket team was getting stronger and something had to be done about it before the world cup.
