With advanced technology, PCs are giving way to laptops and laptops are making space for tablets. The humble mouse is also constantly evolving in its form and design. And the latest idea to stuck innovators is that of touch controls in the mouse.

As the touch controls are gaining popularity, a concept design is presented, titled Mouse for Men, which if realised into reality will change the way we use the mouse.

The Mouse for Men was designed by Nitin Mane as part of the LG Cube Competition 2010. Mane is a student of animation and graphics.  

Last few months have seen  active mass mails by spammers baiting people looking for jobs by offering high paying employment in different companies. The spammers  bombarded netspace with Interview Offers by email in the name of  Sansui Technologies India and later IFB Industries Limited. Due to wide publicity given to this fake recruitment, the criminal gang has changed company name in the scam mail  to “Sony Electronics Limited”  In all cases the job description is same. Only the name of  Company, Account Number and name of the people and phone numbers are changed!

The spammers describe these companies as coming up with large expansion and hence require qualified manpower.  Many people have fallen for the scam which asks users to pay certain amount by DD.   “You have to deposit an initial security amount in favor of Company HRD for the sum of  Rs.6,250/- This is refundable interview security against your interview management by HRD. Company will pay all the expenditure to you at the time of face-to-face meeting with you In Company.”  The Scam mail says.  Its unfortunate that people fall for this scam where the mails are from some third parties and people collecting money are all crooks operating with fake identities.   They have created mail ID   ending with digitalbuzz.com instead of using Yahoo or Gmail  to  make it look genuine.

The same people may be behind another recruitment scam in the name of GCI Enterprises which targets lower level staff.   According to the fake mail which  is being sent to millions in India right now, the fraudsters have short listed only 24 people for employment at Sony Electronics Limited! But mail goes to millions!

Each person who receives is fooled into believing that he is one of the 24. They fail to understand hat the same mail is received by lakhs of people and many may in fact be sending DDs to the crooks.  The fake recruitment mail ends with “Mr. Rajesh GuptaSony Electronics Limited.Mobile, CTV and Computer Manufacturing Division G – 82, UNIT – II, MIDC, Industrial Area, Near Power House, PUNE. - HRD. Contact Nos. – 08954051833, 09528820282”  Complaints-India, a consumer awareness forum, has cautioned people from making any payment any one offering employment.  All such recruitment scam mails should be reported to  CBIs Cyber Crime Division: Superintendent of Police,  Cyber Crime Investigation Cell  E-Mail: cbiccic@bol.net.in   with Subject as “Sony Recruitment Scam with Bank Account Number “ 

The concerted effort of consumer forums is making these scamsters to change company namesaccount number etc. But the police has to act based on complaints received by them.

Difference Among C.V, Resume & Biodata
 
People use the words RESUME, C.V., and BIO-DATA interchangeably for the
document highlighting skills, education, and experience that a candidate
submits when applying for a job. On the surface level, all the three
mean the same. However, there are intricate differences.

RESUME
Resume Is a French word meaning "summary", and true to the word
meaning, signifies a summary of one's employment, education, and other
skills, used in applying for a new position. A resume seldom exceeds one
side of an A4 sheet, and at the most two sides. They do not list out all
the education and qualifications, but only highlight specific skills
customized to target the job profile in question.
A resume is usually broken into bullets and written in the third person
to appear objective and formal. A good resume starts with a brief
Summary of Qualifications, followed by Areas of Strength or Industry
Expertise in keywords, followed by Professional Experience in reverse
chronological order. Focus is on the most recent experiences, and prior
experiences summarized. The content aims at providing the reader a
balance of responsibilities and accomplishments for each position. After
Work experience come Professional Affiliations, Computer Skills, and

When it released Bing last year, Microsoft hoped that users would be willing to click on a host of additional options presented in a column along the left side of Bing search results.

It turns out, though that disappointingly few users clicked on the added options. The low click rate meant that some of the pages that Microsoft invested the most in--topic pages, articles, and custom data feeds--were being overlooked by lots of users.
