For the last few weeks Airtel signal strength has been very poor around my residence (Bangalore). Today I observed a total black-out of signal and then wow! my phone detected a 3G network (the regular GSM sticks indicating the strength weren't there any more). I tried to make calls and connect to internet on my phone, but, it wasn't working. After an hour or so, I was back on the 2.xG network. I really hope Airtel switches to a 3G network soon. Can't wait to take advantage of my new Nokia E71 :-)

Distribute and Conquer
The new mantra - Distribute and Conquer
(shameless plug- phrase coined by me :-D)
Go the Hadoop way - http://hadoop.apache.org/core/
Having a few hundred nodes at your command, waiting to do your work is a Godly feeling.
You don't need a mega server farm to run hadoop. You can install it on your home desktop. All you need is JRE.
