Maintaining two blogs was difficult -- it was good in certain ways -- but it was like exhibiting multiple personality disorder... :-)
So I have decided to abandon this blog, and just maintain one blog - "Thought Blog".

Look there for future posts....

I dont know much about this -- but seems like the DEC had the best of the microprocessor designers.. The high flowing companies like Sibyte, Cavium, and now PA Semi, (and many others in the middle) had people from DEC.

The images can be found on the web page, rightly called Silicon Zoo:
Molecular Expressions: The Silicon Zoo.
The Rediff Interview/ Dr Subhash Kak
Subhash Kak is a well known authority on Ancient Indian History, as seen by his histroy page.
This is a very nice blog: its 5-6 authors constantly keep finding good blog posts from MANY desi blogs throughout the day.

Landed up here from desipundit's main author patrix's own personal blog:
which is an excellent blog by itself.
This article:
Benefit of Team Work: Sam Pitroda
may seem trivial, but I now think that it consists of excellent practical wisdom; and something that I have experienced in my recent time in the US.
It is a must read for Indians. (and especially Indians in the US will be able to appreciate it completely.)
It is no unknown fact, that immigrants and their kids do very well in the US.
Immigrants' Kids: Nation's Brainy Superstars
I think, somehow the "work-hard" ethic (remanant of adverse societal conditions back in their home countries) combined with the richness and individual opportunity of the United States (which is now more in a have-fun and self-express ethic) results in a winning combination.
