$100 billion note

$100 billion noteAre we going nuts over India’s inflation touching 11.5%?

Think about a country where the inflation is 2.2 million percent. Yes, that’s right Zimbabwe’s inflation has risen from 165,000% in February to whooping 2.2 million. Can you imagine that.

The prices of goods double or even triple in a day !

Now here is another surprise.. Central bank has introduced a note that reads $100,000,000,000 ($ 100 billion) to cope up with cash shortages in the country.

I do not have picture of 100 billion dollar note, but here is how $ 500 million note looks like.

You know the actual value of that note ?

One 500 million dollar Zimbabwe note is worth mere 2 US dollars :)

Tata Indicom to show forced advertisements on your mobile ?

Tata Indicom Advertisements on mobile issue

I just came across a news about Tata Indicom starting to provide advertisements on its mobile phones. Now this is something that I am not too happy with. The advertisement on TV is one thing but, mobile is more personal and I would not like anyone to broadcast anything on my mobile phone. Would you want to have an advertisement played on your mobile just before connecting to a call ? Would you want to see an advertisement when you want to play a game on your mobile ?.
This is ridiculous, unless Tata Indicom plans to compensate its users for seeing the…
