Caste and cash
India's business leaders have recently been enjoying
the benefits of becoming internationally competitive,
after decades of leaden regulation. Now, they have
taken fright. The reason is an inferred warning that the
government is thinking of setting quotas for the number of people from the poorly-educated bottom end of
the Hindu caste system they should employ. What seemed to make matters worse was that it was none other
than Manmohan Singh, the prime minister, who gave
the warning, when he said, on April 18th at the annual
conference of the Confederation of Industry, that it
would be best for them to take action voluntarily.

• TEXTO 3:
"At first it seemed to be nothing more than a routine, if
damaging, case of counterfeiting in a country where
faking has become an industry.
Reports filtering back to the Tokyo headquarters of the
Japanese electronics giant NEC in mid-2004 alerted
managers that pirated keyboards and recordable CD
and DVD discs bearing the company's brand were on
sale in retail outlets in Beijing and Hong Kong. Like hundreds, if not thousands, of manufacturers now locked in
a war of attrition with intellectual property thieves in
China, the company hired an investigator to track down
the pirates. After two years and thousands of hours of
investigation the company said it had uncovered something far more ambitious than clandestine workshops
turning out inferior copies of NEC products. The pirates
were faking the entire company."

• TEXTO 4:
Your Thoughts Are Your Password
"What if you could one day unlock your door or access your bank account by simply 'thinking' your password? Too far out? Perhaps not. Researchers at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, are exploring the possibility of a biometric security device that will use a person's thoughts to authenticate her or his identity. Their idea of utilizing brain-wave signatures as 'passthoughts' is based on the premise that brain waves are unique to each individual. Even when thinking of the same thing, the brain's measurable electrical impulses vary slightly from person to person. Some researchers believe the difference might just be enough to create a system that allows you to log in with your thoughts."

TEXTO 5
The wiki principle
Wikipedia's promise is nothing less than the liberation of human knowledge – both by incorporating all of it through the collaborative process, and by freely sharing it with everybody who has access to the internet. This is a radically popular idea. Wikipedia's English-language version doubled in size last year and now has over 1 million articles. By this measure, it is almost 12 times larger than the print version of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Taking in the other 200-odd languages in which it is published, Wikipedia has more than 3 million articles. Over 100,000 people all over the world have contributed, with a total of almost 4 million "edits" between them. Wikipedia already has more "visitors" than the online New York Times, CNN and other mainstream sites. It has become a vital research tool for huge numbers of people. And Wikipedia is only five years old.
