GE commits $250million to India

When General Electric Company, the world’s second-biggest company by market value, received $145 million as settlement for its turbines that powered the jinxed Dabhol power project in India, the American giant decided to reinvest the money in the country.

It did not lose faith after the bad experience. Instead it topped the figure up with an additional $100 million.

But all this is spare change for the mega corp. GE’s chairman and chief executive Jeff Immelt said in Mumbai on Tuesday that he envisages an “8x8x2010� plan for GE in India. Translated, it means generating $8 billion revenues and creating $8 billion assets in India by 2010.

A partnership or merger between eBay and Yahoo! is the most strategically feasible,” a report authored by analyst Imran Khan and the JP Morgan Internet team said on Monday.

A combined company would have the leading position in auctions, communications, payments, graphical advertising, audience reach, and geographic breadth,” the report said.

Gujarat cinemas not to screen Fanaa

Fanaa, the much-awaited big release of the year starring Aamir Khan and Kajol, is in trouble.

The Gujarat BJP youth wing has said that it would not allow any Aamir Khan film to be screened in the state until he apologises for supporting the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA).

The BJP had previously agitated against the actor when he expressed solidarity with Medha Patkar and the NBA.

We did not allow the screening of Rang De Basanti in Gujarat after he (Aamir Khan) visited the NBA in New Delhi. Now, we will not allow his forthcoming film Fanaa to be screened anywhere in the state,” said Shankar Chaudhary, President of the BJP youth wing.

We will request the Gujarat Multiplex Association and Cinema Association not to screen any film of Aamir Khan in their theatres,” he further added.

Why women can’t find the man of their dreams?

Ack:~ Sachidanand Mall

1. The nice men are ugly.

2. The handsome men are not nice.

3. The handsome and nice men are gay.

4. The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are married.

5. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men, have no money.

6. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men with money think we are only after their money.

7. The handsome men without money are after our money.

8. The handsome men, who are not so nice and somewhat heterosexual, don’t think we are beautiful enough.

9. The men who think we are beautiful, that are heterosexual, somewhat nice and have money, are cowards.

10. The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some money and thank God are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!!!!

11. The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest in us when we take the initiative.

NOW, WHO THE HELL UNDERSTANDS MEN?

“Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it’s our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you’d like to have dinner with.”

Microsoft’s FlexGo software eyes emerging markets

SEATTLE: Chip makers and PC firms aim to increase PC usage in the developing world with a new flexible payment program to lower the initial costs of buying a computer, the companies said on Sunday.

Microsoft, the world’s largest software maker, said it is leading a group of technology companies in offering the first-ever “pay-as-you-go” computers in Brazil, India, Mexico, Russia and China over the next several months.

Using Microsoft’s FlexGo software technology, a customer can buy a computer loaded with the Windows operating system then purchase prepaid cards or pay a monthly subscription fee at a cost similar to using a computer at a local Internet cafe, Microsoft said.

When the usage time ticks down, a customer can go online or to a local retailer to buy more minutes.

PM makes another appeal to medicos

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday appealed to the striking medical students to call off their strike.

I request students to call off their agitation. They should have faith in the government to protect the legitimate interests of all sections of the student community,” the prime minister said at a function to mark the second anniversary of the United Progressive Alliance coalition.

Appealing to the agitating students protesting against proposed reservation for OBCs in higher educational institutes, he said the government would work towards “a fair, just and inclusive” education system and no deserving student would be denied an opportunity.

He said the youth of the country had to build a stronger and more dynamic India.
