Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has called an all-party meeting for Wednesday to seek an end to nationwide protests led by the 74-year-old Anna Hazare whose health is a growing concern as the self-styled Gandhian activist enters the second week of fasting.<br />
<span id="midArticle_1"></span> Hazare has lost nearly six kgs since he began his fast to demand a bill for creating an autonomous, powerful anti-corruption agency -- the Lokpal -- a campaign that has drawn support from the middle class and seen tens of thousands protest against Singh's government.<br />
<span id="midArticle_2"></span> Hazare remained lying on a public stage on open ground in the capital New Delhi, surrounded by hundreds of supporters in the monsoon heat where open toilets and spilling waste were starting to cause outbreaks of food poisoning and illnesses.<br />
<span id="midArticle_3"></span> "His health is weakening by the hour," Kiran Bedi, a former police officer and one of India's best known anti-graft campaigners who works with Hazare, told Reuters.<br />
<span id="midArticle_4"></span> "But so far the doctors say he is not in danger."<br />
<span id="midArticle_5"></span> With key state elections next year that pave the way for a 2014 general election, the government must end a crisis that has paralysed policy making and parliament and added to Singh's unpopularity amid high inflation and corruption scams.<br />
<span id="midArticle_6"></span> Many of India's middle class, the fastest growing population segment, have joined forces with Hazare to protest a system that requires bribes for everything from driver's licences to birth certificates and a series of graft scandals that have touched top politicians and businessmen in Asia's third largest economy.<br />
<span id="midArticle_7"></span> But while Singh has hinted he is open to dialogue and there are moves to tweak the government's own heavily-criticised graft bill in parliament to meet some of Hazare's demands, Singh still has not sent any official representatives to meet with Hazare.<br />
<span id="midArticle_8"></span> "I only see that the government is organising itself, but nothing in concrete has come to us," Bedi said.<br />
<span id="midArticle_9"></span> Hazare, who has carried out scores of hunger strikes over the last few decades to pressure governments, has been visited by Hindu gurus, former judges and Bollywood actors. But he has refused to have any politicians on his stage.<br />
<span id="midArticle_10"></span> Hazare's deteriorating health could force the government to decide whether to force feed him -- a move that could spark further protests against a fumbling government of elderly ministers widely seen as out of touch.<br />
<span id="midArticle_11"></span> A group of left and regional party members staged a sit in of parliament on Tuesday, one of two opposition party protests against the government this week. The main Hindu nationalist opposition Bharatiya Janata Party is organising a nationwide protest against the government on Thursday.<br />
<span id="midArticle_12"></span> In another sign of possible compromise, Jairam Ramesh, a minister and Congress Party stalwart, publicly lent support to Hazare's demand that his team only negotiate with mediators from the prime minister's office, or with Rahul Gandhi, the son of the Congress party chief, as opposed to a third party.<br />
<span id="midArticle_13"></span> "That is a way out," Jairam Ramesh told reporters on Monday. He also said the government was mulling introducing a separate bill to tackle graft in the lower orders of bureaucracy, which had been another demand from Hazare.<br />
<span id="midArticle_14"></span> But criticism of Hazare's hunger strike has also surfaced from activists and academics who say it is setting a bad precedent by holding democratic institutions hostage with his uncompromising stand. There have been criticisms from Muslim groups that he is too close to radical Hindu groups.<br />
<span id="midArticle_15"></span> Hazare was briefly jailed last Tuesday, a move the government sought to reverse quietly. But he refused to leave prison until the government allowed him to continue his vigil, in public, for 15 days. He was released on Friday to huge cheering crowds and widespread media coverage.<br />
<span id="midArticle_0"></span> Several scandals, including a telecoms bribery scam that may have cost the government up to $39 billion, led to Hazare demanding anti-corruption measures. But the government bill creating a Lokpal was criticised as too weak as it exempted the prime minister and the judiciary from probes.<br />

<br />
Aimed at shaping the future of <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Cloud-Computing">cloud computing</a> and how increasing numbers of everyday devices will add computing capabilities, Intel Labs announced the latest Intel Science and Technology Centers (ISTC) both headquartered at Carnegie Mellon University. <br />
<br />
These centers represent the next $30 million installment of Intel's recently announced 5-year, $100 million ISTC program to increase university research and accelerate innovation in a handful of key areas. As with previously announced ISTCs for visual computing and secure computing, the new centers encourage tighter collaboration between university thought leaders and Intel. To encourage further collaboration, the ISTCs use open IP models with results publically available through technical publications and open-source software releases. <br />
<br />
"These new ISTCs are expected to open amazing possibilities," said Justin Rattner, Intel Chief Technology Officer. "Imagine, for example, future cars equipped with embedded sensors and microprocessors to constantly collect and analyze traffic and weather data.

<b>Cloud computing research</b> <br />
The ISTC forms a new cloud computing research community that broadens Intel's "Cloud 2015" vision with new ideas from top academic researchers, and includes research that extends and improves on Intel's existing cloud computing initiatives. The center combines top researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Georgia-Institute-of-Technology">Georgia Institute of Technology</a>, <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/University-of-California-Berkeley">University of California Berkeley</a>, <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Princeton-University">Princeton University</a>, and Intel. The researchers will explore technology that will have has important future implications for the cloud, including built-in application optimization, more efficient and effective support of big data analytics on massive amounts of online data, and making the cloud more distributed and localized by extending cloud capabilities to the network edge and even to client devices. <br />
<br />
In the future, these capabilities could enable a digital personal handler via a device wired into your glasses that sees what you see, to constantly pull data from the cloud and whisper information to you during the day - telling you who people are, where to buy an item you just saw, or how to adjust your plans when something new comes up. <br />

Google now offers internship opportunities throughout the year. At present, we have opportunities for students pursuing all kinds of degrees, from Computer Science to Business, from Humanities to Mathematics, from Languages to Journalism, and pretty much everything in between. Many such opportunities exist within our Engineering and Business & General Management groups.<br />
<br />
<b>Opportunities within Business Operations, Sales, and Marketing</b><br />
<b>Internship Programs</b><br />
<br />
Google Internships are full-time positions. Start and end dates are flexible with regard to academic schedules, but you'll be expected to commit to at least three months of work. We want to make sure we provide you a valuable learning expeirence and a deeper understanding of Google's work environment, culture, and delicious food.<br />
<h4>Mentoring and Training</h4>All interns receive ongoing mentorship and training throughout their time at Google. You will be assigned an intern “host” who will inspire you, oversee your work, help you identify project goals, and help you develop as a professional. You will also attend various trainings specific to your group which will teach you all things Google.<br />
<h4>Tech Talks and Company Meetings</h4>Working with your host and other members of your group will enable you to learn about the specific work done by your team, but the learning does not stop there. All interns can attend weekly talks given by various Googlers, leaning about different products and groups across the company. All interns are also given the opportunity to attend weekly company meetings led by our founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. You get the latest news from the leaders of the company, and if you have a question, there's always time for Q&A.<br />
<h4>Salary and Relocation Assistance</h4>We offer all interns a competitive salary and relocation assistance. We want to make sure your move to Google is a pleasant experience, so we'll give you recommendations on the best places to stay during your internship, and also give you an overview of the surrounding areas.<br />
<h4>Intern Social Events</h4>Google's intern team also organizes specific events exclusively for interns. Past events have included a baseball game, hockey game, a night out at the theater, a bay cruise, bowling, rock-climbing, ice cream socials, and much more.</div></div></div>Sathishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058746986413049235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491805010687900413.post-30636719190972770562010-12-10T11:42:00.000+05:302010-12-10T11:42:43.381+05:30Dell to Launch Mobile Phones in India<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipGPVXueQe55ig7pjDfUsPepf6rE3R38dzECXIkANf0DlJF7LjCIMMnBM9Zt0pxLBfoMd7DUnJhJod-bBUNO2zhFSEt6UJeuTCqOEAJbQ_1MTgtAw3FdsxL-jfEllP156dN6_fPDP7luI/s1600/dell_mobile_phones_thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipGPVXueQe55ig7pjDfUsPepf6rE3R38dzECXIkANf0DlJF7LjCIMMnBM9Zt0pxLBfoMd7DUnJhJod-bBUNO2zhFSEt6UJeuTCqOEAJbQ_1MTgtAw3FdsxL-jfEllP156dN6_fPDP7luI/s320/dell_mobile_phones_thumb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Dell, a company that you would normally associate with laptops and desktop PCs, is now getting into the mobile phone business here in India.<br />
<br />
The company has launched a major ad campaign in all major newspapers inviting “distributors” for their mobile phones though the timeframe is not exactly clear nor do we know the kind of phones that they are planning to sell in India.<br />
<br />
Except for Android based Dell Aero and Dell Streak, which is more like a mini-tablet than a smart phone, Dell has little to offer as far as phones are concerned. There are reports that Dell is working on a Windows Phone 7 based device called the Dell Lightning but we don’t know if this is real.<br />
<br />
The mobile market in India is huge but it’s a fairly price-sensitive one at the same time – most people still prefer a BlackBerry or a Nokia smartphone over an iPhone. It will therefore be interesting to see what Dell has in store for Indian mobile users.Sathishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058746986413049235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491805010687900413.post-25164377084002698722010-12-08T11:02:00.000+05:302010-12-08T11:02:05.208+05:30Google Instant<style>

<h2>Search: now faster than the speed of type <o:p></o:p></h2><div class="MsoNormal">Search as you type. It’s a simple and straightforward idea—people can get results as they type their queries. Imagining the future of search, the idea of being able to search for partial queries or provide some interactive feedback while searching has come up more than a few times. Along the way, we’ve even built quite a few demos (notably, Amit Patel in 1999 and Nikhil Bhatla in 2003). Our search-as-you-type demos were thought-provoking—fun, fast and interactive—but fundamentally flawed. Why? Because you don’t really want search-<b><i>as</i></b>-you-type (no one wants search results for [bike h] in the process of searching for [bike helmets]). You really want search-<b><i>before</i></b>-you-type—that is, you want results for the most likely search given what you have already typed.<br />
<br />
As you can imagine, searching even before someone types isn’t easy—which is why we are so excited today to be unveiling Google Instant. Google Instant is search-before-you-type. Instant takes what you have typed already, predicts the most likely completion and streams results in real-time for those predictions—yielding a smarter and faster search that is interactive, predictive and powerful.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the core features in Google Instant:<o:p></o:p></div><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><b>Dynamic Results</b> - Google dynamically displays relevant search results as you type so you can quickly interact and click through to the web content you need. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Predictions</b> - One of the key technologies in Google Instant is that we predict the rest of your query (in light gray text) before you finish typing. See what you need? Stop typing, look down and find what you’re looking for.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Scroll to search</b> - Scroll through predictions and see results instantly for each as you arrow down<o:p></o:p></li>

The studio produced over more than 150 movies until 1982 in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, Sinhalese and even English of which Tamil movies were the majority.</span></div><div style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"></div><div style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the early 1930s, T.R. Sundaram entered the world of Tamil cinema as a partner of a Salem-based film company, Angel Films. He was involved in productions such as Draupadi Vastrapaharanam (1934), Dhruva (1935) and Nalla Thangal (1935). Then he decided to start his own company, Modern Theatres Limited. He realized that to make film making a business, it had to be organized and managed like a business enterprise. He also planned a schedule of producing films on a tight budget (two or three a year), so that the market and consumers were regularly and continually supplied with his products. The maiden production of Modern Theatres, directed by T.R. Sundaram, was Sathi Ahalya, a mythological plot was released in 1937. Sundaram promoted Modern Theatres as a joint stock company and built a studio on a vast stretch of land on the outskirts of Salem town. The hundred odd films that came from his studio covered a wide spectrum of themes — mythology, comedy and original screenplays to adaptation of classic works of literature and murder mysteries. It is, however, the James Bond style of films starring Jaishankar that are almost synonymous with the banner. Following the Hollywood studio system, TRS had on his rolls writers, technicians, actors and so on. He paid generously and promptly, a rarity in the film circle.</span></div><div style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"></div><h3 style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="editsection"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span class="mw-headline" id="Shopping_Malls">Shopping Malls:</span></i></span></span></h3><div style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Salem is also emerging as one of the major shopping centers in the recent past.

Firefox 4's most notable new features — tabs on top, WebM video support, the new JetPack extension system, and separate processes for plugins — have already surfaced in earlier betas and were covered in my </span><span id="intellitxt" name="intellitxt" style="font-size: large;">hands on of Firefox 4 Beta.Windows 7 multitouch support is enabled through the Gecko 2.0 page layout engine's experimental support for proprietary MozTouch events. While Internet Explorer 8 includes touch support for things like zooming and navigating, the Firefox touch capabilities will allow Web developers to build applications that can accept touch input. The MozTouch events are similar to mouse events but add a "stream" for each finger used, along with "down," "up," and "move" actions. <br />
Mozilla is making improvements to its JaegerMonkey JavaScript engine not only to speed it up in the face of stiff competition from the likes of Google Chrome, Opera, Apple Safari, and the upcoming IE9. This latest Firefox 4 beta release alters the way the browser's JavaScript engine handles JavaScript values. These, also called "jvals" are now represented using 64 bits instead of 32. Mozilla's release notes for beta 3 claim that the change "allows Firefox to execute heavy, numeric code (used for things like graphics and animations) more efficiently."</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
