India Inc set to cut 25-30% jobs

After Diwali festivities, India Inc is set to show pink slips to 25-30 per cent employees in businesses like IT, aviation, steel, financial services, real estate, cement and construction as part of their cost-cutting measures, industry body Assocham has said.

These seven sectors are no longer in a position to sustain their operations with existing manpower strength, Assocham said in its study on 'Jobs Scenario Post-Diwali.'

"HR heads of these sectors have drawn up conclusive plans to curtail their workforce by 25-30 per cent, announcements for which is likely in the next 10 days or so," Assocham President Sajjan Jindal said.

Without naming the companies that would take this step, the chamber said the corporates have no other alternatives to sustain operations with squeezed margins after drastic cost-cutting measures like denying bonus and ex-gratia.

Placement agencies have already deferred their plans as crisis-ridden sectors have stopped requisitioning about their human resource requirement in view of current meltdown and job seekers are well aware of this factor, which has created confidence crisis in most of them.

The chamber further said that the negative sentiments in the seven sectors could be turned into opportunities provided the Reserve Bank discontinues with its tight monetary policy and cut the interests rates by at least three per cent.

Want to drive your guy crazy?

Colour matters: Men prefer lady in red

A new study has found that women in red are regarded as better looking and more desirable to men. In fact, this is driven by nothing but primal instincts that associate the colour with sex.

According to lead researcher Prof Andrew Elliot, the study aims to provide hard evidence of "society's enduring love affair with red".

"Although this 'red alert' may be a product of human society associating red with love for eons, it also may arise from more primitive biological roots.

"It could be this very deep biologically based automatic tendency to respond to red as an attraction cue given our evolutionary heritage," Prof Elliot was quoted by British newspaper 'The Daily Telegraph' as saying.

The researchers from the University of Rochester came to the conclusion after carrying out an experiment, involving over 100 men who were shown photographs of a "moderately attractive" young woman.

The subjects, mostly university undergraduates, were shown the pictures and asked to rate how pretty they were, how much they would like to kiss them and how much they would like to have sex with them.

How to Debug the JavaScript code using visual studio 2005?

It is very hectic to debug JavaScript by writing alert code inside the function blocks to test whether it reaches the corresponding line. So visual studio presents a new way to debug JavaScript using a keyword

Debugger inside the function block.

Traditional JavaScript debugging:

Normally developers would add a alert message to test javascript .

function TestDebugging()

{

alert(“I m inside the code”);

}

input type = “button” id =”btn” value =”test” onClick=”javascript:TestDebugging();”

But this type of debugging doesn't say that whether the object is initialized or assigned or not but if we use visual studio to debug JavaScript it will give you what u exactly needed.

Following are the steps to debug JavaScript using Visual studio

Step:1

Write a javascript code using Visualstudio 2005 for example

function TestDebugging()

{

debugger;

alert(“I m inside the code”);

}

we need to include a keyword “debugger;” at the start point of the function block of the JavaScript code.

Step:2

We need t to uncheck the internet options present in the IE or other Browser namely

Disable script debugging (internet explorer)

Disable script debugging (others)

To uncheck the above options go to Internet Explorer --> Tools ---> Internet Options
















Select advanced tab, you will find the above two options

Step3:

Check the settings of internet options as per above picture. Then what for u waiting for just add a keyword debugger; and make settings as per the above picture and enjoy JavaScript debugging.

Google Hack

While i'm reading some article i got this link it's very nice. You read it and try ...

Firefox 3.1 Released

Google has been letting people create profiles for a while now — you can see mine here, and you can create yours here. Until today, your public profile that you created has remained hidden from search engines.

When Google released Chrome, Firefox could finally pick on a kid that was the same size. 

Yesterday Mozilla announced that Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 was available for download. This brings with it a whole new raft of features and improvements:

·          Web standards improvements in the Gecko layout engine

·          Added support for CSS 2.1 and CSS 3 properties

·          A new tab-switching shortcut that shows previews of the tab you’re switching to

·          Improved control over the Smart Location Bar using special characters to restrict your search

·          Support for new web technologies such as the

The new tab-switching feature is really neat (press CTRL+TAB to get a view of all the open tabs), and the special character support for the Awesome Bar makes life a lot easier (for example, you can restrict the search to your history by typing ^, or search only bookmarks using *, or tagged pages with+, if you want to match only text in the URL type @, and for title and tags only use #). Immediately we get usability gains without chrome overload or bloat. Nice.

Google opens up your profile to search engines

Google has been letting people create profiles for a while now — you can see mine here, and you can create yours here. Until today, your public profile that you created has remained hidden from search engines.
Just about a half hour ago, Google added a new line into their robots.txt file which makes all those profiles (or at least 50,000 of them) crawl-able by search engines. The new entry tells search engines to use “http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/profiles-sitemap.xml” as a sitemap. The sitemap looks something like this:

http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/sitemap-000.txt
2008-10-15
http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/sitemap-001.txt
2008-10-15

In that file, you can see it lists 30 static files — each of which contain a whole slew of URL’s to public profiles. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for these profiles to show up in Google search results — and when they do, how they look. I’m sure Google will be creating a special One Box to show “people results” at some point.

Browser Detection

The JavaScript Navigator object contains all information about the visitor's browser. We are going to look at two properties of the Navigator object:
• appName - holds the name of the browser
• appVersion - holds, among other things, the version of the browser

Insert the Following code inside the body tag.

var browser=navigator.appName; var b_version=navigator.appVersion; var version=parseFloat(b_version); document.write("Browser name: "+ browser); document.write("<br />"); document.write("Browser version: "+ version);

Run that page in all browser you can note the diferrence.

Google Chrome

Rather quietly in early September a press leak was made about a new "open source" browser from Google Inc. named "Chrome". In production for over two years the September "leak" created a lot of conjecture in forums around the net, with most saying "Who cares about Chrome?". Personally, I think the question is "What does Google have in mind for its future?".

Chrome is open-source, as mentioned, and this means it's going to be getting a lot of input from the development community unlike a certain proprietary browser I could name. This browser is aimed specifically at Internet 2 RIA's and especially video. It is available for trial in Beta right now and Google claims it is more STABLE, FASTER, SECURER and has a simpler and cleaner USER INTERFACE than any other browser out there right now.
I'll let you be the judge of that but I dutifully downloaded it and played and was pleasantly surprised by the speed, ease of use and the "stealth" mode or what Chrome refers to as "incognito". Although I did find a lot of the Banks haven't bothered addressing the browser yet, so internet banking may be out of the question for the moment. But there are so many features in Chrome it may make you change your mind about your current favourite browser, even in it's buggy beta condition. Those tabs we're used to now in FireFox and IE 7 have taken a step up in Chrome as each tab runs a different process and should one tab crash it doesn't crash the browser. The separate process logic also applies to processes within the tab (or page) itself ... you can kill flash applications on a page and still continue browsing that page happily. Chrome is no comic book browser (as Google would have you believe) it's the real deal. "People are watching and uploading videos, chatting with each other, playing Web-based games," the official Google comic strip says about Chrome. "All these things that didn't exist when the first browsers were created."

With Navigator officially dead as of 1st February this year, I guess there is room for another in the browser line up. Google's aim, however, appears to be "world domination" as it's the first browser built from the ground up with the idea of running applications rather than displaying pages. Chrome has been purpose built to support itself, or, could that be to make Windows a thing of the past? Who needs an operating system if your browser is going to be capable of doing your OS's job? Pure speculation on my part I know, still, I'm not the only one having that train of thought. Chrome has it's own JavaScript engine, written specifically for it by the Google development team, so Ajax apps are going to perform like a dream, Google Apps will have their own custom built environment ... I know you see where I'm going with this ...

Google's aim hasn't been to start another browser war, they've found the current browsers lacking and they've built one that suits them, their applications and RIAs. If you think about it logically, what else could they do, their whole business IS the internet. It's a brave new world that Google have created and only time will tell if their bravery has been foolhardy or not but at least the ride is going to be an interesting one.
