Zoho the next big thing....it's counting and keeps counting

Let me state the visible trends which I saw….

From single Desktop application to multiple users, then using the application over the intranet where n number of user can user it. Slowly we started using Server based applications where n x n users can used the application. With penetration of internet the reach became more where n x n x n and keeps counting.

Changes happen with the trend. soon we will be carrying our operation system in a pen drive and just connect it to a computer and use this as our primary operating system and use internet as the medium for all our desktop applications.

Zoho offer a whole bundle for us…some services are free as of now and soon they will be charged. Sridhar Vembu is the CEO of AdventNet, which owns Zoho, a new on-demand office suite we’ve been hearing about a lot lately

How Lottery Scams Work

You receive an unsolicited email, which states that you have won a major prize in an international lottery. Supposedly, your email address was collected online and attached to a random number that was subsequently entered in a draw for the lottery. In order to claim your prize, you are instructed to contact the official "agent" in charge of your case. You are also advised to keep the win confidential for "security reasons". This part of the scam is basically a random phishing expedition. If you respond in any way to the email, the scammers will send further messages or even contact you by phone in an attempt to draw you deeper into the scam.

You may be asked to provide banking details, a large amount of personal information, and copies of your driver's license and passport. Ostensibly, these requests are to prove your identity and facilitate the transfer of your winnings. However, if you comply with these requests, the scammers will have enough information to steal your identity.

Sooner or later, the scammers will request some sort of advance fee supposedly to cover administration, legal or delivery costs. At its core, this scam is just a reworking of the Nigerian loan fraud, in which scammers also eventually ask for upfront fees to facilitate the "deal". Like Nigerian scams, victims who do actually pay the requested fees will probably find that they receive continuing payment demands to cover "unexpected expenses". The requests for money will go on until the victim realizes what is happening or has no further money to send.

In some cases, the scammers give victims the option of opening an account at a particular bank as an alternative to paying upfront fees. However, this "bank" which is completely bogus, will insist on an initial deposit of $3000 as a requirement for opening the account. The fake bank will have a legitimate looking website to reinforce the scam. In other cases, the victim is given the option of traveling to an overseas destination and paying a cash fee to facilitate the release of the funds. However, any "winnings" released to the victim will be counterfeit and therefore worthless.

The details of the lottery scams vary regularly with regard to the name of the lottery itself, the country of origin, the sponsoring organization, the amount of the "prize" and other particulars. The scammers try to add a patina of legitimacy to their claims by mentioning real financial institutions, government departments or well-known companies. They may also provide links to slick looking, but fraudulent websites that are designed to back up information included in the scam emails. If the scammers are successful in establishing a dialogue with a potential victim, they may provide "proof" such as a scanned image of a supposed government official's ID and even photographs of the "winnings" in cash.

What To Do If You Receive a Lottery Scam Email

If you receive one of these scam emails, it is important that you do not respond to it in any way. The scammers are likely to act upon any response from those they see as potential victims. Although it can be educational and even entertaining to "bait" these scammers, such endeavours should only be attempted under controlled conditions. The people who run these scams are criminals and could even resort to violence and intimidation to meet their aims. You should delete the email without replying. Before you delete the message, you might like to report the scam by forwarding the email to the address supplied on the FraudWatch International website.

In a Hurry to Live a Full Life?

Dreams can become Real

People used to see their life as a straight line: you go to school, get a job, find a mate, grow a family, and retire. But life is really more like an ever-expanding circle than a straight line.

First, define your dreams. Once you have defined your dreams, creating a meaningful life depends on the simple formula of Determination over Time: D x T = S (success of your dream). Time is a resource that can never be replaced. Once it is used up, it is gone. Determination, on the other hand, depends on your desire, willpower and optimism to keep its fire burning. Determination over time is the key to making your dreams a reality.

Time: Your Greatest Asset

How can this equation apply to your life?

Time and positive attitude. Did you know that you can create a happy outlook on life? Taking time out to know yourself, developing your strengths of character and deliberately looking on the bright side, can help you be more resilient and self-confident. When you have a positive attitude, opportunities seem abundant and life smiles back at you.

Time and health.

Most of you, by virtue of your age, have the great asset of physical well-being. However, many of you probably spend more time and money maintaining your car than your body. You know the price of delayed maintenance on your car; the same applies to your body. If you take good care of yourself now, the health you create will pay you dividends later on in the form of lower health costs. But more importantly, when you get enough rest, eat right, and exercise you have more energy to do the things you want to do.

Time and money

When you are trying to save money it helps to distinguish between your needs and wants. Make a list of your essentials for life like food, clothing and shelter, in one column and a list of your wants, the things that make your life feel abundant in another. Carry this list in your wallet so you can look at it when your willpower is weak and you need help in remaining determined to get your money's worth.

Time and relationships

Once you have a job, you are in a new place in the circle of your life; adjustments need to be made. It is time to consult your list of needs and wants again.

You may look around and find that your early friendship network has vanished. You might wonder if you can work and still have time for friends. Did you put friends in the needs column or the wants column? You need to have a good social network. Even economists now recognize the importance of our "social capital."

Just as you put away so much money a month for your financial future, you need to put aside a certain amount of time each day, week and month for meaningful relationships which will become a vital part of your emotional well-being in the present and the future. You will find that your happiness is directly related to the amount of time you spend helping others

Time and passion for knowledge

Your formal education does not stop with your graduation. When you are determined to achieve your dreams, your passion for knowledge will help expand your vision, so your dreams can become reality. Your passion for knowledge can bring you happiness all life long. It does not take a lot of time to support your curiosity, just determination to pay attention to the hidden treasures all around you.

Time and Determination

Be patient. It takes time to achieve your goal. If you budget your time as you budget you money, you can get value for your time.

Don't worry that being so determined will make you into a perfect machine. Remember the first time you got on a skateboard? How much time and determination did it take before you experienced the exhilaration of a perfect move? Did all that practice make you a robot? No, it gave you the freedom to succeed. The same is true of any dream you are determined to achieve.

It takes determination over time to become financially independent and to achieve a more meaningful life.
