The
delicate balance between personal and professional time - - Nagasudha Ravinuthala
With
the changed work life, there is more emphasis on changed priorities.
These priorities are leaving no time for personal life. Due
to this there is an increase in divorce cases, loss of ethical
and moral values in children basically because there is no
time for the parents to take care of their children. Most
of these problems can be managed effectively, by balancing
personal and professional time. This is an interlinked process
consisting of various steps such as setting goals, prioritizing,
scheduling, avoiding procrastination and taking time out for
leisure. By following these steps one can maintain a balance
between work and leisure.

Women
in the E-era - - Smitha Kulkarni
Suddenly
corporations and nations are in need of all the bright and
creative individuals that they can get. They cannot afford
to ignore women who constitute almost half of the human resources.
For the first time in the recorded history, women are being
given importance for their intellectual ability. When both
the genders are competing on the basis of their brains and
not brawn, then there is no looking back for women.

TECHNOLOGY
AMD's
new optimism - - Ravi S Madapati
Hector
Ruiz, CEO, AMD has strong reasons to believe that AMD will
give Intel a run for its money in the 64-bit microprocessor
market. Itanium I, Intel's first 64-bit microprocessor has
failed. Itanium II has also elicited a lukewarm response from
the market. But Opteron, AMD's 64-bit microprocessor, released
in mid-2003 is receiving strong performance reviews. Many
companies that shied away from AMD's products in the past
such as HP, Sun, IBM have started using Opteron. AMD has grabbed
7% of the low-end server market, up from almost nothing a
few years back. Is AMD finally ready to catch up with Intel?
