Coming soon : Amazon development center, Bangalore

Looks like Amazon is setting up its development center in Bangalore in next couple of months. Personally I rank amazon as one of the best tech companies out there and Wired seems to think the same too. They stuck to their roots, never compromised on anything and though its not a cash cow company, they retained the passion of silicon valley. Though people rave about google so much, I am waiting to see how google would look 3 – 4 years from now.

In other news Infosys has been ranked above IBM and Microsoft in The Wired 40 companies driving the global economy. WTF ?

    Page Rank is an not something remotely close to 1-click on even double-click 😉

    Oh yes it does.. no other search engines can compete with them.. coz page rank is so basic

    Wonder why Yahoo didn’t do that before, if it was so basic ? 😉

    Any document or anything that mentions that Page Rank is a very basic and obvious algorithm ?

    You might want to be sure before you say something like this. Page Rank might seem basic at one level of abstraction, but it isn’t *that* basic. I recommend you understand the Google project *correctly* through their Stanford research docs.
