It's just Inevitable, How to stop Phishing Scams for Internet Banking Sites ?

I saw that previously DNS Gurus tried to sell *.porn websites to all porn businesses, which will make it easier for,
  1. Parental Control of Porn sites (using firewall, net nanny or whatever)
  2. Provide Adult Content filtering on the ISP level similar to Adult content filtering in Cable/DTH transmissions,
But the websites were worried about losing business and thus this remained unabashedly public on every system connected with the internet.

Disclaimer: I am not questioning the decision or going to be worried about the content in the public stream. I always want the internet to be open and free to publish whatever wherever you want it to be published.

But the fact remains with the advent of phishing and almost any kind of mode to get the customers to part away with their Internet Banking credentials, why not provide a *.bank domain names for only legit banks to run their Internet Banking Portals. I am not talking about the banking websites, but just targeting the internet banking portals which allow trusted digital transactions of enormous proportions.

DNS Gurus can also sell all the functionality as a package and offer a subscription service to these domains with SSL certificates and so on and so forth. Why is this still not done and not worried about ?

I strongly believe such simple decisions can get rid of lots of trust issues which hover around internet as a whole. Let us start this as a small token petition and let us fix this up at the level which needs to be fixed and not at the level where even seasoned technicians fail (preventing phising).

Update: As in latest news, the *.xxx domain is still in contention, but there is still no debate or any other discussion regarding *.bank domain - ICANN backs off from XXX Domain Vote

Indian Education System & Professionals

Lots have been written about Indian Education System and how it is churning out graduates and post-graduates like a chugging machine with relentless volume. There have been many comments that the education imparted on these institutions are not parallel to what the industry wants. I would almost second that opinion. But certainly the Education System has put in place all that is necessary to gain talent which are required by the graduate or the post-graduate. As a functioning system, there are places which are ignored which ultimately ends in the students getting just a degree and not been imparted the knowledge to get going in the industry. That's why we can say that most of our students look forward to the campus interview & a job in the industry rather than creating a new firm to produce something new. It also points to the way the Graduate & Post-Graduate Research Projects are conceived, created and documented. If we watch the exact practice of all these efforts, we...

A Long Night - Yesterday

Yeah, yesterday was the longest night - something similar to the longest day battle on the european coast during world war II. So it was our baby chellam was crying like anything, she was feeling difficult about something which we couldn't find out. The problem was never rectified. From the moment I got home she was crying, feeding, doing the usual chores and again start crying. I, my wife and my mother-in-law all were already tired because of our hectic schedules, still we couldn't do anything for a good night sleep. My mother-in-law could sleep on the first half of the night when I and my wife were looking after the baby. And then my turn came for the sleep and my wife and mother-in-law took over at around 4 AM. It was harrowing, as I was sleeping in the same room as they were in, I can hear all the screams from my child and was practically disturbed the whole night thinking of all the possibilities for her discomfort. But in the morning I had another startling revelati...
