Laptop for Rs 1500

2010-07-23T00:22:00.001-07:00

NEW DELHI: More than five years after it was conceived by then education secretary Sudeep Banerjee to take on Nicholas Negroponte's $100 laptop and one-and-half years after his demise, HRD minister Kapil Sibal on Thursday unveiled access-cum-computing device priced at Rs 1500 or $35 for students but can be eventually owned by public at large.

The sleek-looking device -- a cross between I-Pad and tablet PC and charged by an equally sleeker solar panel -- is designed by experts at IIT, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. The upper price limit for the device is pegged at $35.

HRD ministry has made an open invitation to one and all to come up with more variants that fulfills specifications spelt out by it. The ministry has set up several separate teams, which are involved in bringing out their prototypes. In the next few months -- by then more innovations will emerge and even price can come down to $20 or $10 --- the ministry will issue an international expression of interest for manufacturing of these devices. "Initially manufacturing might be done in Taiwan or some other place but eventually it will be done in India," Sibal said. He said there are already enough offers for lower price. The $35 price, he said, is inclusive of cost of manufacturing abroad. However, the cost of the solar panel has not been factored into the price yet. The ministry is in talks with a company to bring down the cost of solar panels.

One reason for the low cost -- apart from the falling prices of chip -- is the sheer number of students who will get this device. Under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan alone, there are more than 11 crore children, who are the likely receipients. Add to that lakhs of aided and unaided schools in the primary and secondary sector. Even university student can use the machine. At the current price point of $35, Sibal said, there would be 50% subsidy toeducational institutions, which will effectively bring down the cost to only Rs 750. The initial order will be for no less than one lakh laptops.

Based on Open Source, the device does not have a hard-drive. It can not only support video-web conferencing facility, but also boasts of several other latest features -- multimedia content viewer (pdf, docx, ods, adp, xls, jpeg, gif,png, bmp, odt, zip, AVCHD, AVI, AC3), searchable Pdf reader, unzip tool for unzipping files, computing capabilities such as Open Office, SciLab for printing support, media player capable of playing streamed along with stored media files, USB port etc.source:timesofindia.indiatimes.com

HOW TO REDUCE GREEN HOUSE GAS AT HOME

2010-06-09T00:33:00.001-07:00

Not every family can afford to fix solar panels to their roofs or erect a wind turbine, but there are still steps you can take to save energy and therefore money.

1. Switch your electricity supply to a green tariff that promises to supply electricity from renewable sources.

2. Save on your heating bill by insulating and draught-proofing your home.

3. Switch to energy efficient light bulbs. They can use one quarter the electricity and last ten times as long.

4. Recycle paper, plastic, glass and metals. You not only save natural resources, but the energy that goes into making and transporting them.

5. Choose products that have less packaging -then you have less to recycle

6. Don't leave electrical equipment, like TVs and computers on standby they can use up to 75% of the electricity they use when turned on.

7. Take your mobile phone charger out of the socket when not being used.

8. Turn your thermostat down 1°C – you could save 10% on your fuel bills.

9. Only use your washing machine when there is a full load. Set your washing machine to warm or cool washes.

10. Fix leaking taps. A hot tap dripping could waste enough water each day for one bath.

11. Don't overheat your water. The recommended level is 60°C.

12. A full freezer uses less electricity than a half empty one – and if that isn't a good reason for buying more ice cream….

13. Kettles – if you don't need a full kettle of water don't boil a full kettle of water!

14. Dry your washing outside on the line when the weather is fine.

15. Hang reflective foil (with the shiny side facing the radiator) behind radiators fitted to outside walls to reduce heat loss.

16. Line your curtains and close them at dusk.

17. When choosing electrical appliances, make sure what you are buying is energy efficient.

18. Wearing t-shirts in winter and turning the heater up is just silly, put on warmer clothes.

19. Remember to turn the lights off when you leave the room ...... unless somebody else is still in the room!

Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET )

2009-10-06T06:36:00.001-07:00

Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET ) is the first step in the process of admission to the TWO YEAR FULL TIME Postgraduate Degree Programmes in Management offered by the IITs. Currently IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras, and IIT Roorkee offer Programmes in Management.

JMET is only a qualifying examination. Candidates have to apply separately to the Institutes of their choice. They are also advised to look up the details provided in the online e-brochure about the programmes available in the participating Institutes. There is no limit to the number of programmes a candidate can apply to, so long as he or she meets the eligibility criteria.

The results of JMET provide a basis to each participating Institute to shortlist potential candidates for conducting its own selection process like, Group Discussion/Interview etc. However, calling the candidates for such later process of selection is the prerogative of the admitting Institute. JMET qualified candidates may contact the management departments/schools of the concerned institutes for additional information, if any. It may be noted that the GATE/JMET offices will not respond to queries on the admission procedure.

No. 1 Fraud Site in India - www.earnparttimejobs.com

2009-09-06T23:30:00.001-07:00

if you have found a referral link from any of your friends to join www.earnparttimejob.com and this makes you to join this community then think again. It is true that they doesn't demand any money to subscribe and proposing an attractive sum of Rs. 100 to register and Rs. 5 for each referral but still i have not found anyone confirming that they have been paid. This one issue is very disgusting as this site have been heard a lot in terms of earning money online and no one is saying he have been paid. As myself also have an account and consistently looking for reviews about it and have written an article, but this time i am criticising this website, courtesy goes to www.consumercomplaints.in where i have found some clarification as "how this is making a fraud"

According to the consumercomplaints http://earnparttimejobs.com/ is not sending any form filling jobs but this is their way to promote their own products and the strategy behind this is not his own but has copied it from several other websites. After investigation the experts from consumercomplaints found that this is not the only website owned by the bad guy but several other similar sites with some fake names are also owned on the same domain like

http://www.succeedindia.com/mainindex.html

http://www.emailspays.com/

http://www.adsensejobs.com/

http://www.emailreadingjob.com/

According to blog http://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/httpearnparttimejobscom-c175494.html they have informed the respective banks about this fraud and appeal to us to unite against this cyber crime. In their words

"Indians be aware of this No.1 fraud website.

Most dangerous websites for your PC

2009-08-20T06:25:00.001-07:00

MELBOURBNE: Internet security company Norton Symantec has come up with a list of

Top 100 Dirtiest sites, which could infect your computer with malware.

Malware is a software that can damage or compromise a computer system without the

owner's consent.

Natalie Connor, spokeswoman of the anti-virus company, said that even visiting any of the

named websites could expose a computer to infection and put the personal information

into the hands of unwanted people.

"What people don't realise is when you type in a website, you're bringing down information

on a page and with it could be malware," News.com.au quoted her as saying.

The list was compiled with the help of global data collected on Norton Safe Web, a site

that analysed websites' security risks.

Norton released a sample of the dirtiest websites:

The infected sites had on average 18,000 threats and 40 per cent of the sites had

more than 20,000 threats, while 75 per cent of websites on the list were found

to be spreading malware for over six months.

According to Connor, most websites in the list had adult content with unprintable

names, suggesting they contained hardcore pornography.

Some others sites include those on ice skating, deer hunting, catering and legal

services.

Hackers can apparently obtain personal information using keystroke-logging

software from both PCs and Mac computers. Source:infotech.indiatimes.com

Many of us say that these things don't work in India.
Couple of months back, the Faridabad Municipal Corporation laid new roads in
his area and the residents were very happy about it. But 2 weeks later, BSNL
dug up the newly laid roads to install new cables which annoyed all the
residents. A resident used the above listed grievance forum to highlight his
concern. To his surprise, BSNL and Municipal Corporation of Faridabad were
served a show cause notice and the guy received a copy of the notice in one
week. Government has asked the MC and BSNL about the goof up as it's clear
that both the government departments were not in sync at all.

Use this grievance forum and educate others who don't know about this
facility.
This way we can at least raise our concerns instead of just talking about
the 'System' in India.

Ragging helpline tips - How to Use it.

2009-06-20T04:46:00.001-07:00

The helpline aims to help victims of ragging within minutes of their complaints. It will be operational at all hours. A four-digit, toll-free number will become operational once the helpline is launched. The steps being planned:

Step 1: A ragged student or a friend calls the helpline.

Step 2: The distress message is automatically stored in a central database with time, location and details of caller.

Step 3: The message is instantly replayed from the central control room, simultaneously alerting the head of the institution, the warden of the hostel and an appointed nodal officer of the affiliating university.

Step 4: An officer at the central control room will decide, immediately after the distress call, whether the case needs immediate intervention from district officials and police. If so, the message will be relayed to the district magistrate and the superintendent of police.

Step 5: The complaint will be placed on a website to enable the media and citizens to keep track of follow-up action.

Step 6: At the institution, its head will be required to act "immediately" on receiving the complaint. The head and the hostel warden will be held responsible for follow-up action.

Step 7: The head and the warden will have to alert an anti-ragging squad they are required to constitute in the institution. This squad is to consist of students and representatives of the staff. Its mandate is to be prepared for physical intervention in ragging cases 24x7.

Step 8: The squad is expected to intervene at the offence site, stop or prevent any ragging, and collect any evidence, including witness testimonies. If the victim called after the incident, or the anti-ragging squad could not arrive on time, the squad will initiate action against the accused.

Step 9: The institute head has to decide, within 24 hours of receiving the call, whether to register an FIR. Independently of any police action, the institute must complete its inquiry and action must be completed in seven days.

Step 10: The central database will also store the status of the action taken. It will also be made available to an NGO nominated by the Centre.

Step 11: Failure by the institute to act can lead to a range of punishments — from disciplinary action against the head, warden or members of the staff to declaring the institute doesn't meet academic standards.Source:.telegraphindia

TOLL FREE ANTI-RAGGING HELPLINE- Started on 20th June 2009.

2009-06-20T04:39:00.001-07:00

TOLL FREE ANTI-RAGGING HELPLINE (24x7)

1800-180-5522 AND

155222 - Under Implementation

Make Use of it. Don't misuse it.

New Delhi: With an aim to curb the increasing incidents of ragging, the University Grants Commission (UGC) is all set to start a national call centre to enable ragging victims from across the country to register their complaints by dialing a toll free number from today.

The helpline is equipped with software that will pass on the complaints directly to the head of the institution within 15 minutes to help the administration protect the victims.

The functioning of the helpline will be monitored by the UGC and it will be operational around the clock.

The Education Consultancy India Ltd (ECIL) has been entrusted with the job of setting up of the national call centre.

A strict guideline was issued by the UGC to set up the national call centre to enable ragging victims from across the country to register their complaints by dialing a toll free number.

The decision has been widely hailed by teachers and students, who feel this, would check the growing instances of ragging.

Further, under the Anti-Ragging Law, offenders can be fined up to Rs.2.5 lakh or rusticated for one to four semesters if found guilty.

The new provisions laid down by the UGC also requires that the parents and students give a written undertaking, at the time of admission, that they are aware of the ragging guidelines and will report any such incident.

"This is a welcome step taken by the UGC. It will boost the confidence of new students," said a fresher.source:indiaedunews.net
