Not fair! Are you trying to make me wonder if I should've picked up that offer from HP after college? :P

Net revenue- More, yes; but in Net Income the Redmond Giant is way ahead. 4,926 millions agains HP's 1,547 millions for the same quarter!!

microsoft is not at all out as ppl say it is, its still on top regardless of all the (so called) innovations put fwd by google. It will be difficult for Google to attain such revenue levels as th market is not of tht kind...

neway the best thng in th world still remains selling OIL

"In 2007, Exxon Mobil Corporation took the lead once more with profits over ($42.5 billion). and a market value of overall $410.735 billion, making them the largest and wealthiest company in the world."

Gmail Chat Disabled

The fact that it happened does not surprise me but that it took so long for our network administrators to figure it out does. And if you are wondering how do you disable Gmail's chat features on your network, you only need locking DNS lookups to chatenabled.mail.google.com , by returning 127.0.0.1 .

Pottermania

I'll have to admit that the nature of Pottermania is beyond my comprehension capabilities! As more and more fans of all ages and countries immerse themselves in Harry’s adventures, adding fuel to the belief that Pottermania is inescapable, I am purely and simply baffled by its ability to appeal to all ages. Bored by the inactivity prevailing in this muggle world, I began to read the first one of the series and immediately concluded that reading beyond the tenth leaf was something impossible. Undeterred, I watched the first movie. I Hated it. But with the evil-wizard becoming apple of more and more eyes with every passing moment, around the world, it could only have been something wrong with me and so I watched the second movie. And then it became so easy to establish that I loathed the Potter Kid! Just a passing thought - "Would it be a bad idea for a Potter special appearance in Oliver Twist? The poor kid could do with some wizardry."
