Google first Kills or acquire small companies and then kill the acquired company for integrating it with Google Plus. Then turn off the service without thinking about the peoples using it.

It is the power of huge money, monopoly and over confidence.

I have a blogger blog. I once tried / used OpenID on some website, I never returned back there. Now, I realized that I will never go there again, and still there is no any way to block those website and control panel of blogger always say that "Sites that can always see your URL" and include those websites. Now I will never use OpenID again anywhere. Its more confusing than actual use.

It is clearly an abuse of monopoly. I am already using GMail, Free google apps, search, android apps review and many other things. If now I have to do the same thing, I am forced to either sign up for Google plus, which also force me to give my complete name along with other personal details, If not I can not use all these services. What a strange, is it not a abuse of monopoly? I dont want to give my personal details, is it not my right? Why google is forcing me to do so? Why I cant keep using android review withoug using Google plus?

The software or the front-end doesn't matter for the arm TCS. It is the revenue TATA get from it. The TCS doesn't develope any software, but just create a code for other software, just as asked by the US and other customers. They are back-end in other words. The revenue matters. As and Indian I also don't know any software created by TCS. They just TYPE as said by other.

I installed Windows 8 on my notebook. It works great, looks great, have many useful applications, though not too many, but there will be more as time passes. I can use the traditional desktop with one click and never thought anything complicated with the new tile interface. Don't know why the tech bloggers find it more complicated the the general peoples? Tech bloggers are creating more confusion than the OS itself.

The discussion completely hacked by the security and tourist point of view, though the view of the article was to say about the current condition of Governance in India. I am also a Indian. Most of the time, when I see any western tourist, I feel very embarrassed. I always think that why they have come here, what is special in India, that they come here? This is not the first time that such incident has occurred. There are many examples that many international tourists have suffered of the same shameful thing. No one cares, no one is serious, and the government is still being a long sleeping mode. This is the result of what happen when most of the officials, who investigates, the media who cover, the politician who don't know the seriousness are just trying to have a tv bite and they don't understand anything beyond vote bank.
