I found this on NYT (free registration probably required) about two years ago. Lost the article, found it again thanks to Gmail. BabaJob.com

An entrepreneur  has started a social network to help semi-skilled/skilled workers in Bangalore find jobs.  For those of you who dont know – a social network is like a new internet fad. It is a website where you can join and invite friends to join. Your friends can invite their friends to join etc. Soon you have a network of people who you know directly or through some one (friend of a friend…). What is it used for – well this is the first innovative use I have seen.

Babajob.com is a Bangalore centric website but I found out about it from NYT!!!

Heat oil in a pan and fry the onions, ginger garlic paste and green chillies for about 10 minutes. Add mint leaves, vegetable mixture and the ground powder. Mix well and fry for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from fire and allow to cool. Make small balls of the mixture and shape into cutlets of desired shape.

Make a thick batter of corn flour and water. Dip the cutlets in this batter and then roll in the bread crumbs and shallow fry on the pan in hot oil until golden brown in colour.

How to (programmatic) find the name of the executable in a bundle:

       //l_AppBundleDir is a string that holds the path of to the Bundle
    NSBundle *l_Bundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:l_AppBundleDir];
    NSString *l_Executable = [l_Bundle executablePath];

    NSLog(@”Executable file exists at %@\n”,l_Executable);

Another interesting NSBundle method -infoDictionary returns a dictionary from the bundle’s Info.plist file. It returns a empty dictionary if no plist file is found.
