Installed the SXC-1080 CDMA 1x USB MODEM - Pretty cool and easy wireless internet from Tata. The UIM/SIM card needs to be inserted into the USB device and then an installer needs to be run on Windows XP professional on my laptop (Dell Dimension D630) and on Linux - Ubuntu 7.04, the Feisty Fawn on my desktop the HP Pavilion that I have it's as simple as wvdialconf and wvdial. Speeds are decent I think about 10-20 Kbps as of now; need to look for some mechanism to jack that up as the claimed speed is upto 153 kbps.
The newspaper DNA (Daily News and Analysis - http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore ) seems to have involved in not verifying its sources of photographs and having used my photographs (does this amount to plagiarism? I think it does) after it carried some of my pictures in the 'After Hrs' section of its newspaper on 31st January 2009, which I had taken at the IIMB Yamini 2009. It is good that they covered the event but they should have cited/verified the sources of the photographs. In all probability they or their sources just picked up the photos from my blog, with the belief that no one would notice anyways - seems they could not escape as luck would have it, I spotted them in the DNA paper on Saturday. It was early in the morning when as I flipped open the last page of the supplement that I was stunned to see my pics, which I was able to recognize immediately - however there were no credits anywhere in sight! Please check the photos below from the e-paper version on their website...
