Add Business to Google Maps and vitness Google’s Automated Phone Verification

Yo Guys !! Well today i was just finding some Petrol Pumps near my workplace and suddenly i realized that our office (Noida Region) was no where listed on google map, though the head office has its own identity shinning right in the middle of Hyderabad. This ignited the finicky nature of mine, and went deep down into google maps and realized that its so easy to add your Business/workplace into google maps. Definitely i (not me alone) appreciate google, offering everything free of cost. So let us give a try. A simple Ajax powered form without any submit button, now that is where google rox 😀 The First option was to add the company name followed by its address, woooo… it was simultaneously locating if the inputed address was valid or no, i mean does that location practically exist, or is just fake. I was charmed by this .. cause the script was finding some square feet from the whole globe :p

How Currency rate is decided? (Currency Fluctuation)

This Blog Entry is Requested by my friend Kunal Kaushal and is moderated by Payal Jain dollar.jpg A market based exchange rate will change whenever the values of either of the two component currencies change. A currency will tend to become more valuable whenever demand for it is greater than the available supply. It will become less valuable whenever demand is less than available supply (this does not mean people no longer want money, it just means they prefer holding their wealth in some other form, possibly another currency). Increased demand for a currency is due to either an increased transaction demand for money, or an increased speculative demand for money. The transaction demand for money is highly correlated to the country’s level of business activity, gross domestic product (GDP), and employment levels. The more people there are out of work, the less the public as a whole will spend on goods and services. Central banks typically have little difficulty adjusting the available money supply to accommodate changes in the demand for money due to business transactions.

The BIG Computer Giant INDIA

Yeah, the word computer gives a sense of automation and comfort or a source of entertainment to few, but i was really astonished to see the scene at the local market here in New Delhi. The place is known to be “Nehru Place” and guys trust me its the first time in my life (though its not so long) where i have seen such crazy people for computers. Every single shop out there is selling stuff not in hundreds but in thousands. The market has so much to sell, that some roadside temporary shops are also setup in the middle of nowhere and they are selling second hand RAMs, HDD etc They repair it and even give warranties at their own. Yeah its the new world the new computer world. I was amazed with the fact that softwares of any company or kind is available there and they were selling it like tea bags … shouting along “software – software” … I was energized to ascertain the situation,mannn everything was so wonderful and I felt i was in a world of my own, just the way i want. Computers all around, geek talks, magazines, CDs etc etc The scene was pretty bedlam and people were roaming here & there to search the best deal for their computer needs. The local vendors got cut throat competition there and this gives benefit to the end user. The computer hardware is pretty cheap out there, with original warranty and bill.
