Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is one of the most compelling and challenging IT and business innovations of the past two decades. Not surprisingly, SaaS is generating tremendous interest, heated debate, and a broad spectrum of opinion regarding its impact on users and vendors.

A new study from Saugatuck Technology, SaaS 2.0: Software-as-a-Service as Next-Gen Business Platform, shows that SaaS is at a fundamental "tipping point" between the current generation of software functionality delivered as a cost-effective service - or "SaaS 1.0" - and the emerging generation of blended software, infrastructure, and business services arrayed across multiple usage and delivery platforms and business models or "SaaS 2.0."

A while ago I was interacting with Julian Bond, CTO of Ecademy.com, and he emailed me a list of ideas to throw open to Software developers, who would like to build their reputation as outstanding developers by demonstrating their code rather than just a CV. Any one up for a challenge ? Julian is a highly respected developer and thinker, having single handedly developed the architecture and code of the Ecademy platform. He emailed a list of ideas for the Indian software development community to extend the now ubiquitious Skype. Skype now has over 5.5 million users and growing fast with a current campaign running to encourage users to share skype and reach out to 100 million users.

I've met a lot of good programmers who have worked a whille in various Client / Server programming environments, now wanting to make the shift to the Linux Apache MySQL PHP framework (L.A.M.P).

There's a lot of opportunity for interesting work available using the LAMP framework. This is because there are many differences in the way applications are structured when writing them to work of the Internet or a local Intranet when compared to a wired Ethernet backbone.

Several tried and tested application structures used in two tier, Client / Server, Ethernet bound frameworks will simply fail if applied exactly in the same way in the LAMP framework.

I see sign saying to switch off my mobile phone at cinema theatre, public events, social gathering, hospitals, flights, temples and many other places.

Reason for their suggestion is:
a) mobile waves can create interference to other electronic eqipments
b) distract people from their current activity.

In first case it is essential to switch off or jam signals, in second case taking mobile into silent mode is sufficient.

But even if I have intension to shift my mobile into silent mode or switch off, I tend to forget about it.

I was thinking about it a while and come up with a idea which can be used to take mobiles to silent mode or entirely switch off.
