E-mailing has become a huge part of our lives. An important element of emailing which has evolved, involves the concepts of cc and bcc. Who we mark mails to often defines our personality and working style at the workplace, more so the latter. BCC, an acronym for Blind Carbon Copy or even Blind Courtesy Copy has, these days, degenerated into an acronym for Blind Co-Conspirator. What is this BCC and why has it become so important? In the context of correspondence, Wikipedia refers to bcc as the practice of sending a message to multiple recipients in such a way that it conceals individual email addresses...

Dear Carolyn: Recently, friends of ours announced that they were getting divorced. Obviously, with a divorce is going to come separation of the parents, and the children will be shuttled back and forth. How do we deal with this as friends of theirs, and how do we discuss this with our children? What do we do if our friends' children are here and talk about it? How...

For all those who use Google to search the web, and most of us probably do, here’s a quick question. Have you ever hit the “I’m feeling lucky button” on the search engine and accessed the results? For the uninitiated, the button takes you directly to the number one result your query fetched. Whether it’s the answer you were searching for depends entirely on your luck, hence the “I am feeling lucky” tag. Ironically, this is true of most web search results today. Search engines may be speedy but are they precise enough? “Not necessarily. There is still a lot of confusion there,” says usability professional, Manish Sinha, whose work involves providing suggestions to websites to improve the...

EDINBURGH: When Google, owner of the most popular Internet search engine, said on January 12 it may close its website in China, Edinburgh money manager James Anderson sold the stock and bought Beijing-based rival Baidu Inc.

KOLKATA: Buoyed by their successful Tweets and YouTube promos, brands such as Canon, LG, Samsung and Adidas are now busy creating online consumer communities. Marketers feel that besides increasing brand salience, online communities can emerge as a platform for cross-selling products, thanks to the ever-increasing relevance of the internet as a medium to reach out to consumers. “The internet is emerging as a potential media for marketers to interact with consumers rather than just communicate with them. Online consumer communities provide an ideal platform,” says L K Gupta,...

BOSTON: The hackers behind the attacks on Google Inc and dozens of other companies operating in China stole valuable computer source code by breaking into the personal computers of employees with privileged access, a security firm said on Wednesday.

The great U.S. political machines of the past century are gone now. Mostly Democrat, they rose to power protecting the immigrant working class that flowed into the U.S. following the First and Second World Wars. New York's Tammany Hall withered and died in the 1960s with the departure of Carmine DeSapio and his eventual jail sentence for bribery and conspiracy. In Boston, "Honey Fitz" and James Michael Curley are figures of the distant past whose hold over Irish Catholic politics is no longer replicated. Only in Chicago does machine politics thrive. President Barack Obama announcing he will proceed with his healt reform...
