'The Changing World' with Cellular Phones

-

Cellular Phones have dramatically changed our life style, even before rich content applications arrived. Still in some parts of the world, mobile is still primarily used for voice calls and access in remote parts. Rest of the developed world, now with a wide variety of Content and applications, they are becoming the most dependable devices ever. A new life style called The Cellular Life Style is born and growing at exponential rate. Not convinced or can't believe the Cellular phone as the most integral part of our lifestyle, listen to the following podcasts produced by BBC and PRI in 'The Chaning World' series. 

Mobile Phones : In these documentaries produced for the BBC World Service, we explore the influence of the mobile phone on lives throughout the world. From rural Africa to cosmopolitan cities in Europe, cell phones have changed the way we communicate – and how we expect to be able to communicate.

  • Part 1 : Nick Rankin explores the history of mobile phone technology in this BBC World Service documentary. He examines how cell phones are changing the lives of the poor, and questions just how safe and secure our mobile phone conversations are. Listen to MP3 file here.
  • Part 2 : The global explosion in mobile phone use has been met with a call for better cell phone etiquette. In this half-hour, Nick Rankin looks at how mobile phones have blurred boundaries between public and private lives, from Europe to Australia. Listen to MP3 here.
The Communications Revolution : How we communicate is rapidly changing. Whether you’re in a preschool in London, a coffee shop in Boston or on a street corner in Kigali, new technology has the potential to bring us closer together. Or some say, to alienate us. In these documentaries produced for the BBC World Service, Mike Williams examines “The Communications Revolution.”
  • Part 1 :  When is a phone, not a phone? Some people welcome the wealth of features new cell phones offer – others would be happy just making and receiving phone calls. Mike Williams looks at the history of communication technology, and explores the spread of mobile phones. He also takes us into the world of Star Trek, and looks at the impact that classic TV show may have had on modern advancements. Listen to MP3 here. 
  • Part 2 : In this BBC World Service documentary, Mike Williams examines how communication is transforming the way we lead our lives. We can use our cell phone or computer to make travel arrangements, and we can do our grocery shopping while sitting in bed. New communication technologies also hold promise for those who are disabled or dealing with debilitating illnesses. Mike Williams profiles advancements that can help all people lead more independent lives.  Listen to MP3 here.

USCIS Selects Final H1B Petitions by Random Selection - Almost a 50% chance for each Application

-
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that on April 12 it conducted the computer-generated random selection process to determine which H-1B petitions, subject to the congressionally mandated H-1B cap for fiscal year 2008 (FY 2008), would continue to final processing. USCIS completed this determination ahead of the preliminary schedule noted on April 3, when it announced it had received enough petitions to meet the cap for FY 2008. The 123,480 cap-subject petitions received on April 2 and 3 were labeled with unique numerical identifiers and selected randomly by computer.

H1B 2008:USCIS released Preliminary Numbers

-
USCIS today released the final count of number of unique pieces of mail received for H1B petitions. It received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions. I guess, each piece of mail will ' mostly ' contain more than one petition, as no company would send each petition in a seperate package and its most unlikely that a firm applies for just one petition. Probably by the end of next week, we might know the actual number of H1B petitions filed and how lucky one must be to get through the initial filter. Source: USCIS Releases Preliminary Number of FY 2008 H-1B Cap Filings  (26KB PDF) 04/05/2007 During Monday and Tuesday, USCIS received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions. This is lower that the original USCIS estimate of 150,000. USCIS based the initial estimate on amounts from manifests received along with the mail. USCIS reached the updated number following a physical count of the mail. Each piece of mail may contain more than one H-1B pe...
