Buying EDS would give HP more tools to challenge IBM in the lucrative technology services field. The estimated $550 billion market for technology services has long been dominated by IBM Corp, which has about a 10 per cent share. HP ranks a distant fifth with a 3 per cent market share, based on its $16.6 billion in technology services revenue in its last fiscal year.

In February 2008 the company signed a seven-year outsourcing contract with Unilever for the management of Unilever's technology infrastructure in the Americas, Asia, Africa, Turkey and Middle East.

In India, the company bagged 10 new outsourcing contracts, including Andhra Bank, United Bank of India and United India insurance. In the printer segment, company's Print 2.0 strategy focuses on Web-based printing. It also launched its online photo service snap fish.

With the announcement of 3G policy, HP is planning to talk to Indian mobile operators for a tie-up to offer 3G laptops. HP already has tie-ups with various service providers in different countries. For instance, in the US it’s AT&T, Sprint & Verizon, in Australia HP has tied up with Vodafone, in UK its Orange, Vodafone and T-Mobile.

Globally, IBM relies on emerging markets for two thirds of its revenue. Five key overseas growth markets for IBM include China, India, Brazil, Australia and South Korea -- with each contributing more than $1 billion in revenue annually.

The company recently announced the Release to Manufacture (RTM) of SQL Server 2008, the latest version of its database management offering. Microsoft India has also been in news for all the wrong reasons recently, the company which got a new MD last week saw a series of senior-level resignations including its MD, Neelam Dhawan, who quit Microsoft to join HP.

Dell has also announced plans to adopt channel sales model to enhance its presence in the Indian market. The vendor plans to leverage the growing opportunities in the SMB segment.

On the down side, the company still has to gain visibility on the consumer sales front.

Adam was sad
Even though the garden God had made for him was the most beautiful place there could ever be, Adam was lonely.
Adam needed some company. So God reached into the ground again and took some more stuff from the earth. This time he made every kind of animal and every kind of bird. He brought them all to Adam to see what he would call them.
It must have taken a long, long time to think up all those names!
Luckily, he didn't call them things like 'Foo Foo' or 'Snuggems' or 'Pooky' or anything like that. Instead. he called them 'gerbils' and 'rabbits' and 'rhinoceroses.' And he called the birds 'eagles' and 'egrets' and 'ruby throated warblers.'
Well, actually, we don't know WHAT Adam named them. He didn't speak English. But he named each kind, and that's important because people are the only ones that name things. Your dog knows what a squirrel is, but he doesn't call it a squirrel. He just barks at it! But naming things is one of the things that shows we are different from all the other creatures that God made.
But even with all the animals around to keep him company, God saw that Adam was still sad. Monkeys are fun to play with, but they don't have very much to say... and they have terrible table manners.
So God made Adam fall asleep (he must have conked him on the head or something), and while Adam was sleeping, God took one of his ribs.
God took Adam's rib and he made a woman from it. When Adam woke up, God brought Eve to him (that's what Adam named her later on), and Adam said,
"At last! Here is someone like me! Her bones were made from my bones, and her body was made from my body. I will call her 'woman' because that means she was taken out of man."
At last Adam was happy.
And so Adam and Eve lived together in God's garden. And do you know what? They were naked and nobody cared... or thought it was funny!
But that's another story...
Good evening
hi it my plesure to know that my friend who was so much close to me  as own ,is now no more  with me.It is his desire so no one can do anything.He do not want to elaborate anything about our past.
Memorable Words



"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world
to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope
and achievement. You are here to enrich the world.
You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand." (Woodrow Wilson)

"There is some kiss we want with our whole lives,
the touch of Spirit on the body." (Jalalud'din Rumi)

"And have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over acuteness of the senses? (Edgar Allen Poe, "The Tell-Tale Heart")

"Your imagination is your preview
of life's coming attractions." (Albert Einstein)

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs,
ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go do that.
Because what the world needs are people who have come alive."
(Harold Whitman)

"I want all my senses engaged. Let me absorb the world's
variety and uniqueness." (Maya Angelou)

"Feel yourself being quietly drawn by the deeper pull
of what you truly love." (Jalalud'din Rumi)




"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." (Anais Nin)

"Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development,
invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears." (Edgar Allan Poe)

"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this:
A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death.
Add to this cruelly delicate organism
the overpowering necessity to create, create, create —
so that without the creating of music
or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning,
his very breath is cut off from him.
He must create, must pour out creation.
By some strange, unknown, inward urgency
he is not really alive unless he is creating."
(Pearl S. Buck)

"I can't stand a naked light bulb,
any more than I can a rude remark or a vulgar action."
(Tennessee Williams)

"The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits,
can be preserved only by the most delicate handling.
Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly."
(Henry David Thoreau)

"We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements
of life. All that we need to make us happy
is something to be enthusiastic about." (Albert Einstein)

"While we have the gift of life, it seems to me
that the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die --
whether it is our spirit, our creativity,
or our glorious uniqueness." (Gilda Radner)

"How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels
as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears,
and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain
can experience itself anything less than a god." (Alan W. Watts)


"Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others.
If you have that awareness, you have good manners,
no matter what fork you use." (Emily Post)


"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anybody. Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll  find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years." (Audrey Hepburn)

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." (Carl Gustav Jung)

"Many of us are aware that a greater life is possible. We sense that we have scarcely realized our potential, our powers, and that there lies vast continents, strange and wonderful worlds of unexplored territory within." (Michael Lynberg)
