Booming Business in name of Terrorism - Google Adsense is hurting Islam and Muslims
It is well known to the world that Google / Google Adsense is market leader in to-days world for contextual text based business advertising.
Many people are affiliated to Google adsense either to advertise their products in Google’s adword to improve their own business or to publish adsense’s contextual text advertisement in personal blogs and websites.
It is shocking news for me to see what Google adsense have done for the sake of improving their keyword business in todays online advertising market. Google have used these objectionable keywords for their contextual advertisement…..
ISLAMIC TERRORISM & QURANIC TERRORISM
Below is the image, I captured from my computer screen. It is very bad to see all’s favorite Google doing this non-sense keywords publicity to improve their business by hurting the sentiments of Muslims around the world and particularly Islam.
I don’t know how to make Google to understand our sentiment and to remove the dirty keywords adword for its unacceptable ad-marketing. Can anybody of expertise to support my concern and ask Google to take action against this?
Google, please remove that adwords from all of your sites and stop hurting the Muslims and Islamic world for a mere focus to improve your business.

Patent Engineer / Analyst Training Centers
Working as a patent analyst is an easiest job. The only requirement one should have is the highest qualification in any field of engineering / technology. Mostly, a good structured and stable organization prefer Ph.D's and Master's degree where as small and consulting firms needs people specialized in the field they work.
Now-a-days, people prefer to do Ph.D., but with the increase in number of doctorate the market also needs them. Hence, a shortage of doctorate looks for Masters or Bachelors qualification to fill the patent analyst position. Many Bio-technology consultants prefer M.Sc. / B.Sc. Bio from arts and science streams over M.Tech or B.Tech.
There are many positions vacant in patent analyst jobs in many standard organizations, even ready to hire for Bachelors of Engineering background candidates who are having experience or with no experience. To make the candidate worth for them, they give rigorous training in Intellectual Property Field.
What a jobless fresher needs to do to be fit in this patent analyst position? Simply, I'll recommend some training for them. Whether, he prefers to be Indian Patent Agent / Patent Agent of any countries, firstly he should have basic ideas about IP to fit in this job. If a fresher is not having any idea about what is patent, what kind of work / services are done in IPR field?....better he should prefer to undergo Basic IP training.

Smart Card based Driving Licence soon in Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu have started a new innitiative to monitor and control the traffic and vehicle registration. The government here is going to implement smart card based Driving License and Registration Certificate (RC) for drivers and vehicle. 
Once this system is implemented, it will eliminate all the paper works in many cases like procedures such as name transfer or re-registration will be just a database update in no time. Surely, it will reduce the amount of time one has to spend in an RTO to get things done.
Initially, this system will be implemented in Chennai only and it will be further extended to 110 RTOs and unit offices in the state. Applicant have to shell out an extra Rs. 200 for the smart card and RC. This is a good initiative by the government of Tamil Nadu, but what about the bribe where we have to give to the government officers for doing the services. When, it will be stopped?
Government order to implement sign boards in Tamil
Latest news and reel going now in Chennai city is to implement government order which is all about to have all names and signboards of all the shops and industries in Tamil Script. Even any shop having the name itself of Tamil origin and written in English have to re-frame in Tamil words.
It means, if you have the Tamil word like ‘ANNA KADAI’ written in English in your shop board have to change in Tamil script. From today, the May 1st, 2010 it will be effective in Chennai as per local FM Radio Channel news. It is not clear whether it is compulsory for all Tamil Nadu.
It will be good, if the system is implemented in three languages like regional language Tami, local language like Urdu/Hindi/Telugu/Malayam/Kannada and compulsory in English in all the sign boards or shop / industry name boards. Please, comment what the important you feel?
