Living in Silicon Valley I had assumed free Internet access was standard operating procedure for every coffee shop in America.Apparently not.On a recent trip to the East Coast I stopped by a Starbucks only to find out they charge for Internet access. I was shocked. I walked out. Is this normal for Starbucks? It is very unlikely I will visit another Starbucks. That's how important free wireless is to me. It's principle.And I know I'm ...

ALOK PRASANNA writes from Bangalore: Lawyers love being contra. I am a lawyer. Ergo this post is about being contra. Since the “majority” opinion according to The Times of India, CNN-IBN, and just about any reporter with a microphone to thrust in someone’s faces seems to be that we should not let Kashmir “go”, an irresistible urge demands that I oppose the majority and give good reasons for it (unlike those who base their arguments ...

... but you need Leaders of Choice to retain them.Companies believe that becoming an Employer of Choice (EoC) will somehow help attract and retain talent. Unfortunately, only 50% of this hypothesis is true.It is fairly well established that EoC status helps attraction. Your unsolicited applications will climb by over 40%, your brand image in key talent catchments will improve, and your ability to pull in better people (conversion rates) will see an uptick.But what confounds ...

The weird part to me about sports' current obsession with steroid and other body-altering drugs and their application to athletic competition is that it involves revisiting contests that have been completed. This means that every result in sports is open to interpretation forever, which I think weakens the finality of these contests -- events are never over now. It's strange to me that a competing idea hasn't developed further: that if you cheat in sports ...

So, you know, I am totally into the Olympics. They will pretty much be on whenever I have a free moment. Obsessive much? I'm a little too preoccupied with actually watching the Olympics, and work and stuff to recap them in any way. I have learned not to volunteer to do that any more. The "why did I say I was going to do this?" feeling is the same every time. But I've got a ...

One of the best things in India is cultural diversity. I dont think any other country has such diverse set of cultures (though with minor glitches). “Mile Sur Mera Tumhara..”,released in 1987 commemorating the 40th anniversary of Indian Independence showcases this diversity amazingly. The videos was created in 1988 by Lok Seva Sanchar Parishad, and promoted by Doordarshan to promote national integration. The song was composed by Louis Banks, written by Piyush Pandey.

The iPhone is all set to launch in India (officially) on August 22. Or wait, it's the new Apple iPhone 3G.Seems like the world and their uncle is waiting for it. Many folks planning to change their phone have postponed the purchase, wanting to check out this baby first.Well, I might have been one of those except my trusty old Nokia 6670 absolutely gave up in the month of May.

By Gary Pines I attend breakfast, lunch and dinner events. I attend conferences and seminars. I attend to network and to meet people, and to learn what’s going on in my market. But I do not meet enough people. I seem to get stuck talking with one person, spending half an hour when I should have moved on after a ten-minute conversation. What can I do to change this? This is a common scenario. We ...

I attended another Human Capital Institute webinar on Thursday, outlining their joint research with IBM's Institute for Business Value into six key practices of talent management: strategy development, attracting and retaining, motivating and developing, deploying and managing, connecting and enabling, and transforming and sustaining. It's an interesting piece of research, although it includes some aspects that I'd challenge, for example, its conclusion that organisations need to develop analytical capabilities which I don't think is supported ...

You're kidding me, right? From the category of "I can't make this stuff up," the Spanish Olympic Men's Basketball team posed in a pre-games photoshoot for sponsors. What's the big deal you say? Photoshoots happen all the time you say? Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the team posed together for pictures in which they pulled on the skin at the corners of their eyes to make it look as if they were Asian. ...

Although SHRM as the premier organization for HR professionals has taken its share of negative hits, I liked what I read about their new CEO, Laurence G. O'Neil, of which they reviewed over 400 candidates for the position.Having served five years as senior vice president and chief human resources officer at Kaiser Permanente, a $40 billion not-for-profit health care organization, O'Neil is well prepared to lead SHRM into the fray.No matter what side of the ...

Jason Goldberg ex-CEO of Jobster blogs about learnings from his 2nd Stint as a Startup CEO - socialmedianI specially would refer to how he approached offshore development. Note specially the third point about shareholding.So, we decided to set up things differently at socialmedian. First, our decision to go offshore was certainly based on costs, but it was equally based on abilities and mutual respect. I had worked with the future socialmedian team in Pune before ...

Ever since one blind boy latched on to the elbow of a disabled boy, singing plaintive songs on the empty streets of 1950’s Mumbai, Bollywood latched on to the formula that would not be given up EVER! After that, friends have gone on bikes with sidecars, on horseback, in Mercedes convertibles and even on hearses… basically, from here to eternity. Though some pretence of variety is made (“yeh story thoda hatke hain”), there are essentially ...
