‘Voces Inocentes’ – spanish for “Innocent Voices” is a mind boggling movie of about conflict in El Salvador that has unthinkable similarity to conflict in Nepal. The movie is about the child named Chava, a jolly 9 years old child who lives with his mother, one sister and a little brother and how he dodges recruitment drives from various military outfits.  It is not worth explaining the plot here, I think it can be best understood from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voces_inocentes .

Although El Salvador had different political crisis and bear different historical bearing – I could see the dramatic resemblance to Nepal. The people. The place – a hilly village with tin-top slum houses. An innocent boy torn apart from conflict. The whole movie seems like as if it is from one of the Nepali Village!!!

Loved the relationship he shared with his family, the girl he loved and the people of his village.

Definitely worth watching.. if you can understand some Spanish, that is. Not that i understand it, but I loved it with little bit of Spanish  I know and understood things mostly from context and superb acting of all its cast – especially the child actor playing Chava.

The movie can be seen from stagevu.com

Went to the movies today. Was looking at list of showing movies.. and chose Social Network. My friend, being Computer Science graduate, thought that is better idea too.. the other option was Golmal 3 .. but that will be next time!

The movie is quite enticing, especially as it unravels the making of Facebook, the biggest social networking website of the world. It shows, how Mark Zukerberg started Facebook. Basically, the main point was the lawsuit against him for Intellectual Property theft. Although Mark had burrowed the idea from someone else, the movie shows how Mark was quick to implement it and also improve/add many other features to it.

It is not amazing that Facebook was a hit because it initially invited only the elite graduates mostly from Harvard, Yale, California and Stanford, to begin with. Mark, being one of them, was able to understand/discover what his friends wanted and added features after features to Facebook based on his discovery.

It could possibly the fact that it enseminated from Harvard that it spread like a wildfire, more than 600 accounts in the first day of its launch.

Certainly Napster’s founder Shawn Fanning brought a lot of dynamics to the company, he is rightly dipicted as a perfect social-exploiter! With his charm and reach to high-places, he pulls Facebook up. But, his careless behavious shows depravation in his character.

Nice to see that Mark’s friend Eduardo Saverin is not completely ripped off finally. He seemed a real good friend of Mark to me.. which Mark never cared!

I feel it is inspiring to many. It also shows us that business always comes second… the main goal of Facebook was to make an awesome website, not the subsequent money making.

There is a lot of buzz around BI in the industry. Many may have bumped over this word and wondering what it is?

In simplest term it is just a tool for business managers and strategiests that help them make decisions. How? Of course, by providing them charts, tables, graphs etc! So, in the application side, the visible components are those.

Behind the visual is, in fact, various kinds of data. It may be current data, data from time1 to time2, historical data or prediction data! Yes, it is basically a play of data. This is probably why, BI is commonly used as a synonym for Data Warehousing. Though, data warehousing is for a process of managing huge amount of (possibly, a lot of historical) data, such data is generally stored for many reasons, including for the purpose of gathering business intellegence.

Business, as such is a wild beast.  And it likes to tread in the wild forest, namely the market. Since there are so many unpredictable parameters to business, to be a Robin Hood, you need to be aware of most of the types of surprises it puts forward.

Enough with the analogy. In simple technical term, it is just a database over which we put quering / reporting, analytics, prediction kind of thing. Obviously, we need to put a lot of data (and meta-data) into the database to be able to do this. And be fast as well!

BI is also sometimes used as synonym for Enterprise Applications. EA, unlike user applications, are used by many people (sometimes, at once!). The whole point of enterprise applications is allow multiple logins for different users with different access rights to do different things. For example, a teller may only be using the system to enter his/her transactions each day (or each hour, or each transaction) while his manager may be using it to check the total available cash, which teller was the busiest, which one did the most transactions, among many payroll, HRM, ERP things!

BI is that part that draws data from the database and can be seen by the interested party in logical/graphical way, to see the trends, current position as well as to make future decisions.

The core of BI is, thus Database. Typically, a OLAP is used. OLAP makes data stored in multi-dimensional hierachy be queried quicker. Some provide inbuilt reporting/graphing tools too.
