Google launched its Google AJAX Libraries API earlier this month. Its a good idea to take advantage of this especially if you are using Blogger.com . Right now wctang seems to be only other blogger.com user I who mentions Google Ajax Libraries API.
Guess, I can now consider using one of javascript libraries for the next redesign of this blog.

Everyone loves Auntie Beeb, here is one more reason to love her more. While the rest of the media regularly pumped stories about Bill Gates departure from Microsoft BBC NEWS published this article by RMS. Perhaps the wordplay of word 'Gates' in the title says is all.
Excerpts from the article
To pay so much attention to Bill Gates' retirement is missing the point. What really matters is not Gates, nor Microsoft, but the unethical system of restrictions that Microsoft, like many other software companies, imposes on its customers.
Gates may be gone, but the walls and bars of proprietary software he helped create remain, for now

If you are interested in Machine Translation(MT) then you should read this great introductory article on Apertium MT system. Well I didn't know that Apertium is the open-source Systran (the engine that powers Babelfish) Did you? .
At the time of writing this post, there are no stable language pair for Indian languages in Apertium, If you are interested in working on one, do send me a shout out.
Kudos to Jimmy O'Regan for writing this one.
