,----[ Quote ]
| To acquaint information and technology students with latest tools and software
| technology, Microsoft Student Partners (MSP) has launched a state-wide educative
| programme. The programme's first phase kick-started with a workshop at Navrachana
| University (NU) here on Sunday.
|
| "This is our first programme of the state-wide plan wherein we will cover 10
| universities in Gujarat, including MS University. We are also looking to promote
| collaboration between universities and Microsoft through two major programmes - MSDN
| Academic Alliance and Live@Edu," said Prakhar Agarwal, MSP programme head in Gujarat.

MSP is a shill in education, whom Microsoft feeds with gifts
What do Google and Microsoft gain from student cloud services?

| Itâs an interesting approach, and both companies are providing their products free
| for a reason. Perhaps now this will shed some light on the internal processes both
| Microsoft and Google take into account when offering free services or products.
|
| What do you think? Ethical? Unethical? Good business practice or doomed to bite them
| in the arse?

| Note that the licensing has changed to from Sqlite as well! Scandalous! I
| once read âyou canât change an appâs licenseâ or that âYou canât change a
| sourceâs license without explicit permission to do soâ. Oh my, thatâs two for

| So, will we be seeing those apologies and corrections for the reaction to
| Gnote yet? How about a round of good old-fashioned personal attacks and
| assigning malicious motives for the author of csharp-sqlite? Iâll be right
| here holding my breath. Good thing I quit smoking, no?
