Kim Polese shot to fame as the brand manager at Sun Microsystems, when she devised the name Java for the firm's computer programming language. Currently, the CEO of SpikeSource, she spoke to Rahul Sachitanand on a recent visit to India. Excerpts: Why are so many companies suddenly interested in open source software? The current slowdown has slashed most companies' IT budgets and they now need to manage their IT requirements with smaller budgets. Open source software allows them a lower cost of ownership and more freedom to customise their infrastructure. PC can be your partner Year's biggest data breach But aren't people more familiar with Microsoft and other closed software? Yes, but I think mixed source is the future. We have seen many companies opt for Linux to run their mission-critical applications, but the end-users' familiarity with Microsoft Office, for example, means it will not go away soon.

London, Aug 23 (ANI): No matter how much you bicker after marriage, but walking down the aisle is actually good for health, especially for men, say scientists. In the University of Arizona study, boffins reviewed blood samples from 1,715 volunteers aged 57 to 85 to measure the level of C-reactive protein (CRP), which is produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Women like to target men who are already in relationships CRP has been linked in previous studies to heart disease, depression and even stroke. From the analyses, the research team found that a long marriage lowers a man's chance of developing serious health problems. In fact, the union is more effective than giving up smoking when guarding against potentially fatal diseases, the researchers said. The study, published in Psychosomatic Medicine journal, found that married men had the lowest CRP levels of any group: an average of 1.16 milligrams per litre of blood compared to 2.72 for unmarried men, reports The Dai...

The Reserve Bank, which made third party ATM transactions free from April, has said not more than Rs 10,000 can be withdrawn each time they are used and limited the number of such transactions to five a month. The apex bank has sent a communication in this regard to Indian Banks' Association (IBA) and this is expected to be implemented shortly, IBA Chairman K Ramakrishnan said. "The Reserve Bank has agreed to put a cap of Rs 10,000 per withdrawal in such (third party) transactions. Also, the number of such transactions will be limited to five times a month," Ramakrishnan said. IBA, which is the industry lobby of Indian banks, had submitted its recommendations to the central bank last month citing the financial burden faced by banks on account of huge number of third party usage and small-ticket withdrawals. Since April 1, RBI had declared third party ATM usage, including cash withdrawals and account enquiries, free for all customers and said that banks can charge Rs 18-2...

London, Aug 22 (PTI) Exposure to sunlight might be the answer to weight problems during winter months, according to a new British research, which might lead to new treatments for the prevention or reversal of obesity. Researchers from the University of Nottingham have found exposure to daylight could promote Brown adipose tissue (BAT) function, more common in females, leading to new ways of preventing obesity. BAT brown fat''s primary function is to generate body heat to keep one from shivering. It is capable of producing up to 300 times more heat per unit mass compared with all other tissues. Therefore, promoting BAT function could prevent or reduce obesity in some people, the researchers said. The new study, led by Michael Symonds, Professor of Developmental Physiology at the university, has shown for the first time that daylight is a major factor in controlling BAT activity. "Our research has suggested a previously unknown mechanism for controlling BAT function in human...
