- The Founder Of 'Bose' Was An Indian Billionaire You Never Knew About
Everybody knows about Bose audio systems, regardless of whether you can or can’t afford one. For decades, Bose has been the frontrunner in creating cutting-edge and top-of-the-line audio systems. From homes to cars, theatres to concrete venues, Bose has audio solutions for everything. But have you ever wondered who founded Bose? Well, while the fact is that Bose is an American brand, its founder, was an Indian-American. Sadly though, this is a very, very lesser-known fact.
Born in 1929 in Philadelphia to a Bengali father and American mother, Amar G Bose exhibited his inclination towards entrepreneurship and electronics at the early age of 13. As he grew up during the World War years, he enlisted to help with repairing radios to support the family income.
Bose’s knack for electronics was unstoppable and after completing school, he was enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology and graduated with a BS (Bachelor of Science) in Electrical Engineering in the early 1950s. Bose then did research at the Philips Electronics in Netherlands, and soon after, became a Fulbright research student in New Delhi. After this, Bose earned a PhD in electrical engineering from MIT.
In 1956, Bose bought a stereo speaker and was greatly disappointed with its performance. This propelled him to start with his extensive study on high-end speakers available during those days. Bose wanted to create speakers that would reproduce the realism of live performances by emphasizing on psychoacoustics. Hence, in 1964 Bose Corporation was born with initial funding from Angel investors.
Today, Bose employs over 10,000 people with revenue upwards of $3 billion. In a 2004 interview in Popular Science magazine, he said: "I would have been fired a hundred times at a company run by MBAs. But I never went into business to make money. I went into business so that I could do interesting things that hadn't been done before." Bose was ranked the 271st richest man in the world by Forbes with the net worth of $1.8 billion. He died at the age of 83 in 2013.- 17 Year Old Teen Arrested for Hacking School Computers, changing grades

- Anonymous Replaces ISIS Website With Viagra Ad
A Group associated with Anonymous has hacked into an ISIS-supporting website, replacing it with a message to calm down alongside an advert for an online pharmacy.
ISIS sites have been moving onto the dark web in an attempt not to be discovered. But a hacking group called Ghost Sec, which is related to Anonymous, took the site down and replaced it with a message telling readers that there was "Too Much ISIS."
"Enhance your calm," the full message read. "Too many people are into this ISIS-stuff. Please gaze upon this lovely ad so we can upgrade our infrastructure to give you ISIS content you all so desperately crave."
The ad — which linked to an online pharmacy where payments can be made in bitcoin, and which appears to be hosted by the hacking group — would allow people to click through to by online prescription drugs, including Prozac and Viagra.
Before the site was taken down, it was understood to be one of a number of sites that were sharing and copying ISIS propaganda so that it could avoid detection and being shut down. Many such unofficial sites have been created on the dark web, according to security blogger Scot Terban, though a large number of them appear to be unofficial and largely disorganized attempts.
According to some bloggers, ISIS supporters have been looking to move their propaganda sites onto the dark web because they are less likely to be discovered and shut down. It is unclear how closely associated the site and the group are, with much of its online activity being done by people who are affiliated with Isis rather than directly associated with the group.
ISIS supporters have been attempting to publish sites on the dark web — a part of the internet made up of pages that are not publicly accessible and often require users to be using tools that provide anonymity.
Since the Paris attacks earlier this month, groups associated with Anonymous have renewed their "war" with ISIS sympathizers online. Attacks as part of the campaign have included spam attacks and reporting Twitter accounts, as well as more sophisticated hacking.

Indian IT Companies Ranked Among Ten Worst Paymasters In The World And We Are Not Surprised
A worldwide IT survey has revealed that Indian IT companies are amongst the 10 worst paymasters in the world, and it does not come as a surprise because an Indian mid-level IT manager draws an average annual salary of $41,000 which is almost one-fourth the salary of his Swiss counterpart.India’s rank in the survey has steadily declined over the past few years owing to a huge supply of software engineers and low cost of procurement of talent in the country. India ranks a lowly 7th in the list which is topped by Bulgaria followed closely by Vietnam and Thailand.

"The impact of outsourcing and off-shoring on IT roles in North America and Western Europe helps explain the pattern of global pay," MyHiringClub.com & FlikJobs.com CEO Rajesh Kumar said.
"Lower-level roles are being moved to regions where talent is cheaper. The jobs that remain in Western Europe and the United States may be fewer in number, but are more demanding and complex. However, there is an increasing evidence of India's growing stature and presence in the high-end value chain, where cost advantages may not be the only drivers of future growth," Kumar added.

India ranks slightly below China which is facing stiff competition from other emerging markets.
"India remains one of the most favourite outsourcing destinations due to this low-cost factor, but the future might bring with itself a completely different scenario," the survey predicted.
Switzerland is on the other extreme end of the list followed by Belgium which pays a handsome sum of $1,52,430 annually for the same mid-level job.
