    Making U.S-India 3.0 Work

    The photo-ops with CEOs and students notwithstanding, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s much anticipated visit to India did not reach anywhere near the euphoria that marked the visit of her husband President Clinton to India in 2000.

    Obama as Tech president: Leading the Way

    Among the many monikers that Barack Obama has collected as he enters office is that of being the first "Tech President".
