The Philippines is gearing up to be the next outsourcing hub as it competes against BPO giants of India and China. The country is targeting annual revenues of US$12 to 13 billion by 2010, according to presentations by Oscar Sanez, CEO of the Business Processing Association of the Philippines.With such high ambitions, the industry will need to hire an estimated 420,000 additional workers to serve t

We have seen websites that go after companies, but this is the first time we have seen a site, put up by a group of employees, devoted to ridding their company of its CEO! What's more, they are asking you to help. Is it an isolated thing or will more and more executives find themselves in the cross-hairs of their own employees?

Alize Cornet Gunning For First Title in Budapest Only one seed has made it through to the semifinals at the Gaz de France Grand Prix after the quarterfinals of the Tier III event were held on Friday. But confidence remains high in a home win for a Hungarian hopeful. With No.1 seed Agnes Szavay out of the $175,000 tournament on Wednesday, No.2 seed Alizé Cornet is arguably the favorite to win

MIAMI - Hurricane Bertha strengthened to a Category 3 storm Monday as it swirled in the central Atlantic, but it posed no immediate threat to land. Forecasters expect the Atlantic season’s first hurricane to head toward Bermuda. It was too early to tell whether the storm would hit the island, but residents were urged to monitor [...]

Call them what you want, but you can’t call Sun Microsystems a bunch of quitters. They are a persistent lot. Even after Apple’s announcement that they don’t want Java on the iPhone, Sun is pushing to get Apple to agree to letting the iPhone play nice with a Java JVM (Java Virtual Machine). “We’ve expressed our [...]

Looks like a young buck is working to perfect his douche bag photo pose in hopes to dethrone the current champion JoeyPorsche911. He already has a few points on Mr. Porsche. He decided to surround himself with chicks instead of fellow fake tan ass clowns and he is using the “check out my sweet jawline” pose as opposed to JoeyPorsche’s “spit or swallow” lip pout. JoeyPorsche - Reigning Champ Young Buck - Looking for the title I think a few more parties under his belt and a few more photos and I think he might be able to take the title. He also needs to get some kind of chain/extra bling and then he will definitely have it. Thanks to Doctor Death for sending in the pic. Share This

Huh, looks like Apple’s the big bad in town. Everyone’s out to get them! The biggest of the big bad is the iTune’s music/video store. People have been trying to take it down forever with no such luck. I wonder if they’ll eventually be successful. I mean, with Universal not renewing their iTunes contract and NBC doing the same it could open the door for competitors if they really pull their content off iTunes. And then in addition to all the various existing music stores, you’ve got Amazon opening one and Nokia, too. I’m pretty sure I read about another couple coming online with various schticks, MTV dumped Urge and is joining up with RealNetworks. Verizon’s getting in on that gig to distribute that content on mobiles. Sure almost all or all of them are destined to fail, but it’s conceivable with so much arrayed against them on the content production (in as much as the major labels are content “production”) and content distribu

NVIDIA WANTS TO keep details about G92 and G98 under-wraps, but as the product is getting ready some details are slowly, but certainly slipping out of Graphzilla's cave. We managed to learn that GPU clock has surpassed 800 MHz and that company plans to deliver the boards depending on yields they will get. So far, launch clock could be anywhere between 800 and 850 MHz, with 812/3, 824/5 and 830/5 being usual suspects. This time around, there is no hurry and Nvidia knows they can afford the launch of GTS/GTX and wait for R680 to show up and launch the Ultra version as a counter attack. There is quite a lot Nvidia has to support with the G92 series of chips, and what yours truly wonders the most is will the G92 support just Open GL 3 (Long Peak), or will the chip support Mount Evans as well (upgrade of Long's Peak). Of course, DirectX 10.1 is also a moot point at this time, and worst case scenario would be support for DX10.0+, but somehow we don't feel that source was right on t

Google has taken yet another step toward challenging Microsoft’s domination in word processing, spreadsheets and other productivity software.Over the weekend, the Internet search company began offering free downloads of Sun Microsystems’ StarOffice, a productivity suite that competes with Microsoft Office, one of the software giant’s cash cows.Unlike Google’s own Docs & Spreadsheets, a package of lightweight online applications that can create and edit Word and Excel documents, StarOffice is a full productivity suite with enough features to satisfy demanding business users. And until Google included it in Google Pack, a collection of free software downloads, purchasing Star Office cost $70.A person familiar with the arrangement between the two companies said that Google is paying Sun to offer Star Office for free.Why? Analysts said that the alliance represents a more aggressive effort by Google to go after Microsoft’s core customers, by offering a free product that is lik

Jamal Lewis is still only 27, but he has seven years worth of NFL experience, playing very well as this video below shows. Lewis is now with the NFL team, Cleveland Browns he says he feels young again and he is ready for a fresh start. Lewis demonstrated this in training, playing very well and looking like he has running very fast again. “He’s going to be our best defensive player,” says linebacker Andra Davis, Lewis’ best friend on the team. “He’s going to keep us off the field.” Lewis is one of only 5 players in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. Do you think Lewis will be a good for the Browns and the NFL? Source Written by Sam for Product ReviewsIn Sections: News, Sports News

AMD and Intel believe the industry's next revolution is in hand held devices Early last year, Microsoft revealed its ultra mobile computing platform. Smaller than a laptop but larger than a PDA, Microsoft's Origami project set the playing field for others to follow. At the time, Origami was positioned as an Internet browsing device with rudimentary multimedia capabilities. Unfortunately, the Origami project never materialized in any sort of substantial offering, but then again Microsoft has a bit of a hit-or-miss history when it comes to developing hardware. That never deterred Intel or AMD, two companies with long histories rooted in hardware development, from stepping in where Microsoft left off. Lest there be any doubt, neither company is just picking up Microsoft's pieces; they're going into the ultra-mobile playing field at full throttle. Almost simultaneously both AMD and Intel roadmaps indicated the industry would head towards devices that allow consumers to br
