[AI] China warns of new virus transmitted by MSN
Beijing (PTI): China's anti-cyber virus authorities has warned that a deadly new virus, transmitted by Microsoft's MSN (Microsoft Service Network) instant messaging programme, can steal registered users' accounts and passwords, eventually causing economic losses. On the computer hit by the virus, the MSN friend list will display a message telling the user's account has been cancelled and recommending a Website where the user can find out who did this, experts with the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Centre said. When the user logs in the Website the message names, he is required to key in his account and password. Those Websites, usually ended with "tk", "hk" and "cn," aim at procuring others' personal information, the experts said. Once the illegal Websites obtain a user's account and password, they will log in MSN messenger in name of the user and send the similar fraudulent messages to those users on his friend list. In this way, more registered MSN users are prone to economic losses. China has seen a booming instant messaging (IM) market with the success of MSN, Tecent's QQ, Yahoo Messengers and Skype. Statistics show that registered users of Skype in Chinese mainland have soared to over 25 million. Internet security problems have also been on a rise in the past three years, which are mainly triggered by a growing number of profit-driven computer virus writers, hackers and illegal traders, the Ministry of Public Security said last month.

[AI] ISD rates may fall; MTNL seeks new bids for traffic carriage
The Hindu News Update Service News Update Service Monday, October 15, 2007 : 1850 Hrs Top Stories ISD rates may fall; MTNL seeks new bids for traffic carriage New Delhi (PTI): International call rates may head towards south as the state-run MTNL on Monday invited fresh tender from Indian ILD operators seeking lower carriage rates for outgoing transmitting its outgoing ISD traffic. Currently, Tatas-owned VSNL carries the traffic for most of the ISD volume of the navratna company. MTNL officials said the the Tata company enjoyed 'preferred carrier' status for a long period from BSNL and MTNL which does not exist any longer. They said only by calling for fresh bids the PSU would be able to get the lowest bidder to carry its traffic and if VSNL wants to regain the volume, it would have to offer lower rates than it was offering at present. MTNL retains the right to route its outgoing ISD calls through the least cost arrangement, destination wise, they said. Currently, ISD rates hover around Rs 6.40-Rs 12 a minute depending on the destination and if one operator induces a cut in rates, the spiralling effect forces others to cut correspondingly to remain in the market. MTNL officials said we have applied through our joint venture with BSNL (Millenium Telecom) for an ILD ( International Long Distance) license which we expect to get in due course. But even after getting it we will take some to operationalise it for negotiating rates with foreign carriers. In the meanwhile, we want competitive rates also for our ISD traffic carriage as it would lead to lower costs on us and lower rates on our subscribers. They said once MTNL gets the license, it (MTL) has plans to lay its own submarine cable to carry its ISD traffic and other operators' traffic as well, but that's a future plan.

[AI] Hitachi plans to develop 4 terabytes by 2011
The Hindu News Update Service News Update Service Monday, October 15, 2007 : 1150 Hrs Sci. & Tech. Hitachi plans to develop 4 terabytes by 2011 SAN JOSE (AP): Multimedia stockpilers need not worry about laptops, digital video recorders or portable music players hitting a storage capacity ceiling any time soon. Japanese company Hitachi Ltd. says its researchers have successfully shrunken a key component in hard drives to a nanoscale that will pave the way for quadrupling today's storage limits to 4 terabytes for desktop computers and 1 terabyte on laptops in 2011. A terabyte can hold the text of roughly 1 million books, 250 hours of high-definition video, or a quarter million songs. ``It means the industry is making good progress to advance the capacity of disk drives and move to smaller form factors,'' said John Rydning, an analyst at market research firm IDC. The feat, which Hitachi plans to present Monday at the Perpendicular Magnetic Recording Conference in Tokyo, revisits a technology known as giant magnetoresistance, or GMR, that was the basis of the work of two European scientists who won the Nobel Prize in physics last week. A hard drive has a metal disk inside that spins as an arm with an electromagnetic head at its tip hovers over it. The head reads bits of data by registering the magnetic bearing of the particles on the disk. Capacities of hard drives have grown as researchers have crammed more bits of data closer together while also making the heads sensitive enough to read the data. The industry looks to new technologies every time physical limitations kick in, and GMR _ which allows for extremely thin layers of alternating metals to detect weak changes in magnetism _ was one of the breakthroughs that led to the fastest growth rate in the early 2000s, allowing hard drives to double in capacity every year. But GMR-based heads maxed out, and the industry replaced the technology in recent years with an entirely different kind of head. Yet researchers are predicting that technology will soon run into capacity problems, and now GMR is making a comeback as the next-generation successor. ``We changed the direction of the current and adjusted the materials to get good properties,'' said John Best, chief technologist for Hitachi's data-storage unit. By doing so, Hitachi said it has created the world's smallest disk drive heads in the 30-nanometer to 50-nanometer range, or about 2,000 times smaller than the width of an average human hair. Other hard drive companies are working on similar technology as well, Rydning said. He predicted the entire disk drive industry will begin migrating to this new type of GMR-based technology in 2009.

[AI] India outsources outsourcing
I am posting this news itom only to show the real state in the i t sector in India. Renuka. The Hindu News Update Service News Update Service Sunday, October 14, 2007 : 0320 Hrs Top Stories India outsources outsourcing Randeep Ramesh Bangalore (GUARDIAN NEWS SERVICE): Thousands of jobs taken from the west are being re-exported as wages shoot up >From his tree-top-high office, Kris Gopalakrishnan, the head of India's giant >software company Infosys, explains the rise of an economic phenomenon about to engulf the world: outsourcers are outsourcing themselves. Once known for sucking jobs out of call centres and IT departments in the west, Indian technology firms are re-exporting them to wealthier nations as wage inflation and skills shortages at home reverse the process. Infosys spent $250m this year buying the Polish call centres of Philips, the electronics group, manned by workers who speak half-a-dozen European languages. The company is building up a network of offices stretching from Mexico to eastern Europe to China to provide an "anytime, anywhere" solution to its clients. "Our customers are global, so we have to become so," says Mr Gopalakrishnan. Infosys is not alone. Wipro, another hi-tech titan, has been on a spending spree, buying up companies in America, Finland, Portugal and Europe for hundreds of millions of dollars. Azim Premji, Wipro's chairman, raised eyebrows on Wall Street when he talked this year of setting up divisions in Idaho, Virginia and Georgia - US states he said were attractive because they were "less developed". Tata, India's largest firm, is running call centres in Britain. ABN Amro, the Dutch bank recently bought by an RBS consortium for GBP48bn, will pay Tata Consultancy Services $200m to send work halfway across the globe to Brazil, where software programmers will run computer systems. Indian software companies' skill is that they have been able to take complex tasks from multinational firms, pull them apart and put them together more efficiently. This expertise has reached a stage where it can be done anywhere across the globe - grafting Indian technical knowhow onto white-collar workers in Brazil or Saudi Arabia or even back to the US. The ability of an industry in a developing country such as India to export "managerial and entrepreneurial capital" to wealthier nations is unprecedented, say economists. Arvind Subramanian, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, says that India exports 12% of its GDP ($120bn) in foreign direct investment. Professor Subramanian says this is part of India's "anomalous pattern of development". Countries typically specialise in industries such as IT only when their income per head passes $15,000 and they do not export investment until per capita GDP touches $45,000. The comparable figure for India is only $900. "India finds comparative advantage in skills and managerial capital ... how precocious is that?" he wrote this year. The other strange feature is that the Indian economy, booming at 9% a year, is not driving the growth of India's software firms. Barely 2% of Infosys's income comes from India. Instead Wall Street banks asking for "Spanish language support" or China's booming economy sway investment decisions. Mr Gopalakrishnan says Infosys's "non-English-speaking revenues contribute about a fifth of the total. It is growing fast and we have to build up expertise in languages." Indian software companies are replicating the model of bigger foreign rivals, such as IBM and Accenture, which have large workforces around the world. Both multinationals aim to have workforces of 100,000 in India in a few years and companies such as Infosys are girding themselves for battle. "Nobody dominates the space yet," says Mr Gopalakrishnan. "IBM is probably the biggest and has revenues of $5bn. They built that up in the age of the PC, which is 25 years old. We came about with the internet. It's a different way of thinking." The move highlights two converging trends: first the demand for skilled talent in India is sending salaries skyrocketing. One startup in Bangalore decamped to Silicon Valley after finding that programmers were asking for wages of up to 75% of those paid in California. Infosys is on target to hire 32,000 people around the world this year - only Wal-Mart has taken on more staff. Bangalore's biggest companies are now hiring directly from British and US campuses. The second trend is that Indian software companies face a "skills crunch". Although 3 million students graduate from Indian universities each year, only a fraction are considered good enough for companies like Infosys. A recent study claimed only 15% of graduates were of suitable quality to work for blue-chip clients. Mohandas Pai, Infosys's head of recruitment, says the company is spending $1bn a year to upgrade "talent". "We have set up a university to train 50,000 people a year. [Infosys] is in competition with every sector: industry, manufacturin
