Today morning, when I tried to open my blog abhisays.com in IE 6 browser, I got the pop up having error message “Internet Explorer cannot Open the Internet Site Operation Aborted”. When I clicked the ok button of the pop up, the partially loaded page turns to “page cannot be displayed”. Then I tried the same in other browsers like IE 7, Opera and Firefox. Everywhere my blog was working fine except IE 6 and IE 7. I never liked these IE browsers and now they are causing big problems for my blog. But this defect was quite critical for abhisays.com as around 55.94 % visitors on abhisays use different versions of Microsoft IEs. On Microsoft’s developer forum I found that “The problem is you can’t append to the body element from script that isn’t a direct child to the body element. It can be fixed simply by putting defer=”defer” in the script tag.”

After some more R & D and google search I came to know that this problem is due to Internet Explorer not able to understand ‘Javascript code’ of abhisays.com. Then I started hit and trial. I removed all the external java script codes like adsense code, feedburner code, icerocket tracker, statcounter, hostgator, sitemeter and mybloglog codes. Finally I found that it was sitemeter code that is causing all these troubles. I have included that code in footer.php file. After the removal of that piece of code my blog is now working fine in IE also. Now I am finding a proper place in the blog to place this sitemeter code.
Terrorism is one of the biggest challenges for India. Many part of India including, Jammu and Kashmir, Central India (Naxalism) and North-eastern States are affected with this problem. Terrorism in India has often been alleged to be sponsored by its neighbor Pakistan. However, Pakistan always claim that most of the acts of terrorism in its land are sponsored by India’s RAW intelligence service. India says that Inter-Services Intelligence of Pakistan is responsible for terrorism in India whereas Pakistan says India’ RAW intelligence service is doing all sort of terrorist activities in Pakistan. Most of the terrorists in India are from Islamic background especially in Jammu and Kashmir. This is basically due to unemployment and poverty in Islamic nations like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh etc.

India has developed the cheapest car of the world. Now its time to launch the cheapest laptop. I am not joking. India is on verge of launching only 10$ laptop. According to HRD state minister Purandeswari research work is going on in Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and IIT Madras to develop the cheapest laptop. This laptop will be used mainly by children. Actually it is India’s response to Intel 100$ laptop for children of developing nations. The laptop will be very useful in solving the problems of low computer literacy and e-learning especially in distant villages of India.
Last year Indian government rejected the offer of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) alumnus Nicholas Negroponte to supply 100$ laptops to school children of India. The government said that Indian computer engineers are able to develop laptops cheaper than that 100$ laptop.
Still I think 10$ is a big challenge for IISC and IIT engineers. I am wondering how they will cut the hardware costs and set manufacturing price below 10$.

Do you know how much Zimbabwe Dollars you will get if you have 1 USD. The answer is 27301616030 Zimbabwe Dollar. This is one of the greatest disadvantages of high inflation rate which has completely ruined this country. The snap in this article shows a 500 million dollar note. Recently, Zimbabwe government has introduced $100 billion banknotes so as to ease the recurrent cash shortages in this inflation-ravaged economy. The official inflation rate in Zimbabwe is now 2.2 million percent. Gideon Gono, who is the governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, said the new notes are for “the convenience of the banking public and corporate sector in light of price hikes. The RBZ has noted with concern the unjustifiable and incessant general increases in prices of goods and services. It is therefore appealing to the business community to follow ethical business practices as well as take an interest in the plight of the general public.”
No doubt, the economy of Zimbabwe is collapsing due to economic mismanagement of Robert Mugabe’s government, resulting in 85% unemployment and spiraling hyperinflation. This great country has been deteriorated from one of Africa’s strongest economies to one of the world’s worst. The country is facing problems like shortage of foreign exchange, soaring inflation, and supply shortages. Zimbabwe’s involvement from 1998 to 2002 in the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo drained hundreds of millions of dollars from the economy. The condition is so pathetic that if you buy 1 KG sugar then it will cost you 10 billion Zimbabwe dollars at the government’s fixed price, and 45 billion on the black market. What a horrible situation! One thing comes in my mind what international community is doing to help Zimbabwe. Where is USA?
