The Aakash 2 tablet can three timesfaster than Aakash one and can have fifty a much more battery life. the most recent version can have to be compelled to pass a replacement quality protocol
prepared on basis of inputs received from concerning 600 students of Indian Institutes of Technology and different engineering schools.

"All problems are resolved. The a lot of improved seventy,000 Aakash tablet are going to be received from Datawind (the company supplying the tablets) by finish of January," said a senior HRD ministry official on Friday, on a daily basis when reports of the ministry deciding to place its agreement with Datawind on hold.

The HRD ministry had asked Datawind of Montreal based Suneet S Tuli to provide one lakh Aakash tablets at concerning US fifty dollars. Of the initial heap, 600 tablets got to students for testing.

The Indian Institute of Technology, Rajasthan, that had ready the prototype of Aakash cited many deficiencies within the tablet together with short battery life, the processor unable to handle multiple operations at constant time and poor image quality.

Datawind had already equipped thirty,000 tablets by the time IIT, Rajasthan report came. The ministry held-back the order and asked the corporate to boost Aakash as per the deficiencies citied by the IIT report.

Ministry sources said that company was initially reluctant to upgrade the tablet while not increasing the value. However, the corporate agreed when ministry officers threatened to cancel the order.

Tuli wasn't accessible for comments however a corporation spokesperson said the merchandise manufactured to this point has met and exceeded all the specifications, options and criteria laid out in the govt tender.

"The product road-map and future enhancements aren't 'news' and not a symptom of failure," the corporate said in a very statement.

"Not solely Aakash from Datawind however all future tablets can have minimum Aakash 2 specificians," said N K Sinha, further secretary within the HRD ministry. These enhancements included a 240 minute battery rather than one hundred eighty minutes, higher firmware and a 700 mega hertz (MHz) Cortex A8 processor rather than the 366 MHz ARM eleven processor.

The HRD ministry is anticipated to ask bids from firms to provide Aakash 2. The target is to supply a couple of million Aakash tablets to varsity students within the next few years.

Datawind has already got 2 million booking for enhanced Aakash tablet, sold beneath the brand of Ubislate, that it sought on-line booking earlier this month. The tablet is being sold at Rs 2,999, that is Rs 749 quite value of Aakash for HRD ministry.

Aakash tablets in school/college libraries available on rent

2012-01-12T01:36:00.000-08:00

Government is planning to place Aakash tablets in school/college libraries, so that students can get them issued like normal books and then return after using, as per reports.

The world’s cheapest tablet Aakash available on rent in college libraries will have subject-wise video lectures in fields such as engineering, science and humanities pre-loaded on the low-cost tablet. The government is already providing the Aakash tablet at a subsidised price of Rs. 1,730.

After offering the low-cost tablet to state governments at half the price, the government wants Aakash to reach all 220 million school and college students. The government aims at encouraging the states to distribute Aakash free to college libraries, which can then give them out on rent to desiring students. Hence this step of renting the tab will in a way help government to reach its target.

The duration of rental will be decided by respective colleges. The government has already distributed about 10,000 units of Aakash since its launch in 2010. The government has now set its sights on Aakash 2, the upgraded version of the Aakash tablet

Facebook Wall History - Friends - Search & View My Entire Wall

2011-10-13T23:10:00.000-07:00

Facebook is a wonderful tool, it lets you connect with your friends and relatives makes it easier to make new friends and people now use it as a dating platform to find partners.

Over the years we post hundreds of status messages and we share hundreds of links and photos on our Facebook wall, then there are wall posts on our wall by our friends to wish us happy birthday or random conversation.

At the end of day we have accumulated so much information on our Facebook wall, that if someone goes through our entire wall they can easily understand what kind of person we are, and what we have been doing for last few years, our ups and downs in life and hell lot of other information.

Then we have a curiosity about how to check our friends, girlfriend's, boyfriend's , daughter's, wife's, husband's or son's wall history, how to check wall to wall conversation between two people on Facebook, how do i check complete old history of someone on Facebook.

For all these questions we have a solution for you, it's pretty easy and it will let you check your own or your friend's Facebook wall / timeline history right till the end or we can to the day they joined Facebook, the day they made their first wall post

Before we start, you should know how to get your or your friend's Facebook profile Id.
1) If you open your profile page or your friend's profile page

and look into the url bar you will find something like this

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=12345678 , the part "12345678" will be different for everyone, and that part is your profile id. store that somewhere for future reference.

2) With facebook allowing new name aliases, some people have their profile url's as
http://www.facebook.com/bill.gates again bill.gates is their alias Id, you can save that as well for future reference, but we need that numeric id as well, for tht go to any picture of the person you are trying to get info about.
save that picture and look for the name with which that Facebook picture got saved.

It will be something similar to
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/293541_2484179592656_12345678_32822265_752923487_n.jpg

the part 12345678 (3rd last id in image name) is profile id of that person, again save it somewhere for future.

Now coming back to our main topic

Tip 1: How to check Wall to Wall between two people/friends on Facebook
The best way to do that is go to their friendship page, whenever you open one of your friend's page on the right hand side you might see a link which says see friendship, you can see the same link under any wall post made by you or someone else on your friend's or your own Facebook wall.Click on that link to go to Facebook Friend's history.

But if you could not find any such link you should do it manually by yourself

just visit the url

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id={USER1_ID}&and={USER2_ID}&sk=wall

replace the part USER1_ID and USER2_ID with numeric id or alias id of two people whose wall to wall facebook history you want to see.

after replaceing the url should look something like this

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=12345678&and=boll.gates&sk=wall

This way you can read all the conversation between two friends on Facebook and you can easily understand how they are related to each other and what kind of relationship they have.

The only Con and a big one about our first Tip is that it works only when two people you were trying to know about are your friends and their walls are open for you, or if both of their walls are open to you even when they are not your friends.

But in most of the cases when we want to search for someone's facebook wall history and their conversation history with their friend to know about their relation, we only have one person as friend and it's a pain to click view more again and again to go all the way down on facebook wall.

To overcome this problem please read our Tip 2:

Tip 2: How to check facebook wall history by date and profile

First thing is that you have to get profile Id of the person you want to check facebook wall history of, by following the steps described earlier.

second thing you have to do is get unix version of date and time you want to check history about.

once you have both of that information, replace them in the following url and Bingo!! you will have history of facebook profile in seconds.

http://m.facebook.com/wall.php?id={PROFILE_ID}&filter=13&time={UNIX_TIME}&refid=20

PROFILE_ID = http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000804271494the 100000804271494 part is profileId

UNIX_TIME = it's the time you want to check the posts about, you can get from her http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm

enter the above parameters
to make it look something like this http://m.facebook.com/wall.php?id=123456&filter=13&time=123455666&refid=20

If you are thinking how does it serves the purpose of going all the way down in my friend;s facebook wall, well what you should do is, try to check their history for 1 jan 2010, 1 jan 2009 1 jan 2008 and so on, stop where it shows on wall posts and then try a little higher date.

The second one always work for me and is much easier than what it looks like.

Well try it and let me know how you go about it.

Dynamic Ads in Adsense - What do they mean?

2011-10-11T01:47:00.000-07:00

So I was looking at my Adsense Panel today and checking reports for Last month. I sorted the ads by their Ad size and noticed that maximum number of Page views were for Ad Type Dynamic. But those Ads made me very less revenue, compared to Ad sizes of 728X15 and 335X280.

I though i should get rid of Dynamic Ads, but then i didn't know what they actually are and where do they appear on my website.

Dynamic Ads in Adsense

Apparently Dynamic Ads are the ads that appear in your Feed when you have adsense enabled for it. More the number of items in your feed more are the chances of dynamic ads appearing in your feed. By Dynamic they mean, the size of the image varies depending on your feed content. Please note that actual CPM for dynamic ads is very low and reason behind it is that adsense place those ads for you in your feed and it might not be at the best of places to get you maximum clicks.

Nexus Prime India Launch - Nexus 4G

2011-10-09T18:17:00.000-07:00

Samsung Will Launch Nexus 4G Prime in India by late October or early November.

Samsung was planning to launch the new Nexus Prime 4G at a press conference scheduled for Monday 10th Oct 2011 in San Diego.

But they have sent an email to 400 odd reporters who were invited to the event saying

Nexus Prime 4G India Launch

“We will temporarily postpone the ‘Samsung Mobile Unpacked 2011’ event slated for Monday in San Diego,”

Though they havn;t mentioned in email the exact reason, but an inside source has to say this.
“The measure has been taken to pay respects to the death of Jobs,” adding, “We will hold the event as early as late October.”

Samsung unlike apple prefers releasing their products first hand in India, so expect nexus 4G to be launched in India whenever it's officially launched by Samsung.

We will review Nexus Prime 4G after it's India Launch

How To Stop People From Copying Your Pictures On Facebook

2011-10-08T15:22:00.000-07:00

If you are someone who posts lots of pictures on Facebook, but also meet lots of new people every now and then at college/university, clubs, pubs, events, traveling or so many other places.

In today's changing time, no one asks for your mobile number straight up, but they do ask you for your Facebook and some of them are persistent enough to add you right away.

Well there is nothing wrong in making new friends, but Problem with making them your friend on Facebook is that they can get to know you and your while history, about your friends and family in matter of hours. Especially with new Facebook Timeline this will be the case.

It's okay if they read your status messages or check out all the links you have posts, but what's scary is that when someone you hardly know can gain access to all your uploaded pictures and videos and can download them as well.

All they have to do is go to your Photo and click on download link and that's it they will have it saved on their PC. If that's not worse enough, they can easily create a Facebook APP which will let them download all of your pictures in one GO.

Someone can actually download 100's of your pictures on Facebook in matter of minutes.

If you use IPhone or android phones, you can easily find apps there which lets you download your friends photo albums. Whenever a friend of yours allow some random Facebook app to access their friends information, it's giving permission to a random app made be a random person access to all your data on Facebook.

Facebook is free and there is hardly you can do about things like these, but if you follow the following measures you can save yourself from trouble.

Before we start the tips, please make yourself ware of two most important lists on your Facebook (close Friends & Restricted). You can see them on this page
(Facebook Lists)

1) Don't upload pics, which you think if get out on public will be embarrassing for you for the rest of your life. (tip: try not even clicking such pics, and if you did just delete them). As we say, to protect your secret pics/videos you should never make some.

2) But if you don't mind clicking them and do want to share them with the world, share them with your close friends. Just add your most trustworthy friends on Facebook to (Close Friends) list. That way whenever you upload new photos to Facebook, just share them with them for a start, especially after a hangout in downtown with your friends. Slowly you can start sharing them with other list of friends like "college friends" etc.

Tip: If you don;t know how to make Facebook friend lists please read our tutorial (How to create Facebook friends lists)

3) Add all of your new friends (unless you know them very well) to Restricted list, anyone who is inside restricted list wont be able to see all of your content. they will just be added to your friends list and that's it. They cant access your past wall posts, status messages, your pictures or videos. As you start knowing them gradually and meet them few more times then you can upgrade them to a new list which shows them some information

4) Most important use of adding new friends to restricted list and keeping only trusted ones in close friend lists is that you wont end up sharing your photos with all the apps on Facebook to whom your friends have subscribed too.
No matter what even if you have shared a pic of you with only single friend of yours, if he ends up subscribing to an app that takes permission from him to access his friends photos /wall posts that means that app can access your photos.

You allow your friend => he allows the app => the app has permission to your content.

I know this sucks and does not make any sense, but this is how it is.

5) If by now you are scared of Facebook and it's apps, don;t worry you can restrict apps from using your data via your friends by opting out of it.

please Go To
Privacy Settings => Apps and Settings (Edit Settings) => Information accessible through your friends (Edit Settings)

Now unpick all the things you don't want to share with those Apps :)

We will continue to add more ways to stop people from copying or downloading your pictures on Facebook
