computing

I live with a vivid memory of that day when I visited the JXTA.org on April 25 2001 when it was launched with much fanfare as an Open Source project which was an outcome of $10 Mn acquisition of Gene Kan's Infrasearch by Sun. If Bill Joy liked something I am sure there were many who would like it, then! JXTA was one such thing.

While trying to build something over Jini along with my first IT Guru Tarun Bhargava, JXTA seemed very exciting and promising when we thought of the possibilities in a socially, geographically, economically and politically realigning world.

Google Compute From Google Labs Distributed computing for scientific charitable projects
Google Labs state "Your computer's idle time is too precious to waste.

Put your computer to work advancing scientific knowledge when it's not helping you.

Google Compute is a feature of the Google Toolbar that enables your computer to help solve challenging scientific problems when it would otherwise be idle. When you enable Google Compute, your computer will download a small piece of a large research project and perform calculations on it that will then be included with the calculations performed by thousands of other computers doing the same thing. This process is known as distributed computing."

This is not filmy style!! I am just trying to draw reference to current trends and mindset and how Samooha (not a movie!) differs from these 2 themes that were in discussion these days.

While I am yet to watch Rang De, I had some time to look at Amir's own production Mangal Pandey and as a Social Studies enthusiast in school I can vouch that the revolution being called for is bound to be futile and the consequences could lead for another few decades of wound-licking for us, Indians.

On the contrary Samooha is a call for Fast-Track Evolution that invites all businesses and professionals of India to get on with a new way of thinking. A new way of evolving quickly to stand up to the expectations of the world as much as to enable ourselves to reach out to the world.
