Tackling Software Piracy

In the past few months a certain home ad has appeared in CHIP that encourages one to “Always buy original�. The statement “software piracy is rampant in India� is cliché.

IT vs. the Permanent Energy Crisis

snydeq writes "Organizations looking to remain profitable in the face of escalating energy costs may lean even harder on IT to achieve energy efficiencies in the years to come, InfoWorld reports.
