Opera used MAMA— their ‘Metadata Analysis and Mining Application’ to trawl the web and returns results detailing page structures, including what HTML, CSS, and script is used on it, as well as whether the HTML validates.
For example, it found out that only 4.13% of all sites on the World Wide Web are web standards compliant (January 2008). This is less than double the number of sites on the World Wide Web that validated for web standards in 2006
Read the key findings report: MAMA key findings
What’s your opinion on the number of sites that validate for web standards at the moment? Was it surprising or just insightful? Or was the percentage close to around what you expected it might be?

Nehru Place is Asia’s biggest IT hub with an estimated daily turnover of Rs. 10 crore which is continually growing? I found this out in the website’s FAQ’s section. Another useful link is the buyer’s guide (pretty outdated) in case you’re a little confused about what to buy.
Nehru Place website
There’s a lot and lot of room for improvement for the website but none the less, its still useful. You can check prices of hardware and software and get details of various vendors here and decide what to buy before you actually go there to make a purchase.

Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch.

Catptcha is the small image you have to look at and type in when you’re leaving a comment at someone’s blog. This prevents bots from doing what we humans don’t want them to do- add spam.
Captcha’s are a good solution for dealing with spam (accessibility is a consideration if you don’t have an audio message as an alternate to reading the Captcha image). But did you know that they are getting beaten by Jitendra Malik & Greg Moriand, PWNtcha, OCR Research Teamand Brains-n-Brawn to name a few, all utilizing OCR techniques?
