The use[full/less]ness of Software Quality Assurance.

Today, I picked up my SE(Software Enginnering) text book, and decided to read the chapter on Software Quality Assurance[SQA]. Ok, let me put this straight; SE is a subject I don't agree with, and certainly do dislike. No, wait.... I hate it!

I was surprised to see the stuff about SQA written in that book. I just realized that the need for SQA arises only because people lie, and say something and do something else... which is basically lying explained a bit differently ;-) Also, current trends wherein work on software projects is outsourced needs to be checked for quality because of the above mentioned reasons. Hence, this model may not be ideal or even close to that for many not so big companies and software development centres. IMHO, even corporates have something to gain by looking at the other side of the picture....

Auto-Save in Blogger????

I was wondering if auto-save would be as useful in Blogger as it is in Gmail... Any ideas? I'm of the opinion that Blogger should include it sooner or later[better sooner than later though]. The Recover Post option is prosent, but doesn't really cut it, like Gmail's Auto-Save feature. Now, only if the guys at Blogger were to read this! ;-)

Even more hypocrisy.....

This time, it's Sony... A brand that is SO very much trusted around the globe. They have used LGPL code in their copy protection software(yes, the so very controversial rootkit), and have more mentioned it(as they are required to do so with any LGPL code).

The irony is that the copy-protection software(rootkit) is itself violating a copyright! Hilarious but true. I wonder if music protected this way is illegal to listen to! This just get more and more twisted....
