Kon-Ticky'ing

Kon-Tiki: Name of the GOD for native people from Polynesian islands. Thor Heyerdahl, Norwegian explorer named the raft Kon-Tiki, which he used for his expedition across Pacific Ocean from South America to the Polynesian islands. His purpose of this expedition was to show that South Americans could have settled in pre-Columbian times using material & technologies available at that time. In my blog, I intend traverse the journey of connecting dots in the past & present. Reference: wiki

iStanford

iStanford is new service offering by two of Stanford student: Kayvon and Aaron. They have developed iPhone application which allows Stanford university students to add-drop course, access map, campus bus timings, etc using Apple iPhone.

It's the first time Stanford University administration has allowed student to access university servers-data without secure protocol/applications.

Do we have such people in India, both in terms of student and the administration? Or atleast can we facilitate/foster it?
