		<description><![CDATA[The opening up of formats and relying on open source technologies is good so far as when our business is as open, i.e., the revenues are either based on sponsorships or affiliate commissions. For businesses who make money from actually selling their services/ products to customers who demand them, going open is not a suitable option. They are better off with by paying for a scalable but closed system of software and formats. <a href="http://pensiveharsh.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/staying-behind-closed-doors/"><em>Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></em></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pensiveharsh.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9221411&amp;post=168&amp;subd=pensiveharsh&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Navneet Sikera, an engineer from IIT Roorkee cleared the IAS Examination but opted for a position in the Indian Police Services. Why? Simple... he didn't like that the criminals always had their way while the innocent citizens feared the police. Because no one else was doing anything about it, he took the onus on himself to clear the street of the crime. And he has done a fine job... just google him and see for yourself how much he has accomplished.  <a href="http://pensiveharsh.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/do-we-really-care/"><em>Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></em></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pensiveharsh.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9221411&amp;post=154&amp;subd=pensiveharsh&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I could be nobody and still live through the years without regrets, but I could never live without doing something. To me, life is no more than a flicker of a match-stroke. Though a lighted match can light up a room, the flame gradually abates and dies out eventually leaving the room dark as before. Our lives are nothing but the evanescence of a lighted match and we fantastically overlook this ephemerality of our existence because we are too busy trying to be somebody. <a href="http://pensiveharsh.wordpress.com/2010/04/17/hows-it-going-harsh-have-you-abandoned-your-blog/"><em>Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></em></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pensiveharsh.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9221411&amp;post=144&amp;subd=pensiveharsh&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My facebook friends would recall my status update for that day, that went like "Suffering from I.S.S". I called it "Insane Surfing Syndrome" but I strongly feel it's got more to do with A.D.D (attention deficit order). This blog post started in the midst of one of those Insane Surfing sessions. As I write this post it occurs to me that:

   1. Reading an actual book over a blog post, a wikipedia page or a YouTube video is much more rewarding for my time spent in learning.
   2. Internet serves best as a tool for research but poor for structured learning. <a href="http://pensiveharsh.wordpress.com/2010/02/19/my-last-insane-surfing-session/"><em>Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></em></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pensiveharsh.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9221411&amp;post=131&amp;subd=pensiveharsh&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I strongly feel that as users of technology our primary focus is always on getting things done (GTD) rather than being stoked over all the cool features of an application. Can't Microsoft sense this? The dynamics of this industry have changed. I mean it's everywhere - take twitter. There could not be a simpler communication tool. And the reason it became so big - it just works. If I have something to say (tweet) to anyone who cares to listen (followers), I have got to use twitter. And now there is probably a hundred companies built around twitter. When did Microsoft last make such a radical product? I have a lot of respect for the company that Mr. Gates has built over last two decades, but as the giant grew, it separated itself from the common masses. And the only approach that I think, can make Microsoft a favorite among us again is listening to what people WANT to use and then building it the way they CAN use it. <a href="http://pensiveharsh.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/i-wish-microsoft-could-innovate-more/"><em>Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></em></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pensiveharsh.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9221411&amp;post=128&amp;subd=pensiveharsh&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
