RR Research

The entire 2000s had Fortune 500 corporations setting up shops here and outsourcing large volumes of work such as customer service, technical support, accounting, payroll, medical transcription etc. The trend led to volumes of job loss in US and Europe and invoked a major backlash against India. That was then. India has become more than a low cost location for services outsourcing. No longer is India perceived as a country full of technology professionals, willing to work for a fraction of his overseas counterpart. India is a hub of major technology research and development. It is now a preferred destination of high end computing research. Organizations like Cisco, Oracle, Intel, Microsoft, Google, HP etc. all have their R&D centers are. Bangalore, the “Silicon Valley” of India, is home to Intel’s 2nd largest R&D center in the world. The scientists and engineers have designed the world’s fastest server processor, which would be a benchmark for server based computing. Microsoft, in Hyderabad, does cutting edge research in Web 2.0 technologies and development of forthcoming operating systems. Oracle India leads research in high end database design and cloud computing. .. more»

Since the millenium, we have all been concerned about the "green" movement. One move is the new technologies that are coming out with the resarch into fuel cells, which is all about alternative fuels to power our car. Fuel cells produce an electric current - they are mechanical devices using hydrogen or hydrogen-containing fuel like methane. Fuel cells whilst being clean and quiet, they are highly efficient as sources of electricity. Extensive research by scientists shows much promise on some new fuel cells, which are smaller. The alternative fuel industry would benefit greatly from these. President Bush announced the Hydrogen Fuel Initiave (HFI) program in 2003, as part of his State of the Union Address. Fully suported by legislation of the Energy Policy Act 2005 (EPACT 2005) and the Advanced Energy Initiative 2006 the aims are to develop fuel cell, hydrogen and infrastructure technologies in order to make the production of fuel-cell vehicles much more cost-effective and practical by the year 2020. Over one billion dollars has been dedicated by the United States towards the development and research into fuel .. more»

Many people will be able to remember when toys consisted of blocks, train sets, Lego, Barbie dolls and games like snakes and ladders. Today however, the word "toy" has been redefined. Today's toys are completely different than they used to be ten or twenty years ago. There are still some of the same toys hanging around, but kids these days are usually looking for more of the newer toys that have been developed in the last couple of years. Toy makers and manufacturers have changed their way of thinking when it comes to what kinds of toys to design. Kids these days have much higher expectations of what they want out of their toys, and with the newer, technological toys on the market today, and newer, better things coming out all the time, parents have a lot more work to do! Technological toys entered the market place a few years ago, and the word "toy" has never been the same since. Technological toys range from computer games, and X-box to educational toys like leap frog and battery operated Lego robot toys. There are a ton of different technological .. more»
