Veteran Marxist leader Joyit Basu dead !

The nation mourns for the death of the iconic Marxist leader Jyoti Basu ! One of the tallest leaders; democratic and secular face of CPM for decades died. Laal Salaam!

He was an excellent administrator, leader of the people and a high standing statesman.

His promise to serve humanity continues to be fulfilled even after his death. As per his wish; his eyes were donated and his body handed-over to state medical authorities for medical research.

The people of India have lost a renowned personality, a great humanist and a true patriot.

Virtual Border Security Force (Tech Watch)

Those who don't want to live in paranoid border state; they should spend some amount of time trolling http://www.blueservo.net/. Thousands of people around the world volunteering to patrol the 2000 km long stretch border between Texas and Mexico via the web. They can monitor live feeds from hidden cameras installed near these borders. If these virtual police officers or virtual border guard find anything suspicious, they send a message to the sheriff's office via web.

"By having extra pairs of eyes; and if it helps to prevent crime by our mere presence then that is a very great thing." says TBSC executive director Don Reay.
