Balngalore in news - congratulations!!!!

In one more example of the world's discovery of India as the place for cutting edge technology development, most of the designs for building Boeing's next generation aircraft are going to be created and tested by the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

IISc, India's premier scientific research institute, has joined hands with Boeing, the leading American manufacturer of satellites, commercial jetliners, and military aircraft, to build next generation aircraft.

Nearly 40 faculty members from various IISc departments -- like aerospace, metallurgy, centre for product design and manufacturing and civil engineering -- are involved in the Boeing project, which is being managed by the Society for Innovation and Development. SID is IISc's commercial arm, which was founded more than a decade ago........... http://in.rediff.com/money/2005/oct/27spec.htm

Yes, that's great news for Bangalore! Space age technology.

However could someone please do something about the traffic lights in Bangalore. I was there last week enduring most awful traffic jams and resulting pollution and saw some of the lights had to be switched green/red BY HAND, the ones that hadnt toppled over!
