Free Internet all over India?

via SankarAnand.com | Blog by Sankar Anand on May 29, 2007

Last week while attending our college magazine function, an officer from Planning commission has been invited as Chief Guest. He was giving several lectures about the recent developments in science and technology based on India and so on. Well the shocking or surprising news to share with all of you is that Government of India has plans to give “Free Internet All over India” within few months. Does that sound great? Also he added that the highest revenue is from the field of Information and Technology, lol I am studying for that… but the reality is that everyone is focusing towards the same field so in order to divert the minds and bring new opportunities in other field; the government has implemented many schemes for R&D (Research and Development Sector), especially R&D in biotechnology.

Ok I am going off the topic, I myself still cannot believe the news of free internet during that time when all of a sudden a guy raised a question asking that India is still lacking in giving high bandwidth to their consumers where other countries get a whooping mbps for a normal rate while this is happening in India how are they able to give free internet?

The guest thought for a while and answered that India is a largest country with millions of population, there are villages which still don’t even get telephone connections but we are using Internet vastly especially the traffic contribution from India is really high, how is it possible ?

This is another reason why we still lack in advancement of communication but our scientist have recently able to transfer date rate up to a terabyte per second (not sure about it but he added this). Even India produced three super computers which we might have not heard or it might be kept confidential. But the plans of Free Internet Connection seem to be on progress and will be launched in quite few months. When thinking from a positive angle there is no surprise or obstacle to believe this thing, since the recent advancements had made the internet and its technology a whooping success.

Lets wait and watch beside ….

Intel Core 2 Duo

Intel’s new processor the Core 2 Duo, codenamed Conroe, has recently been released. Currently the Core 2 Duo series is the most powerful CPU family available on the market. This processor is built on a 65 nm process and is intended for desktops, replacing the Pentium 4 and Pentium D. Intel has claimed that Conroe provides 40% more performance at 40% less power compared to the Pentium D.

The Conroe processors are labeled as the E6600 and E6700 Core 2 Duo models, with the E6600 clocked at 2.4 GHz and the E6700 clocked at 2.67 GHz. The family has a 1066 MT/s front side bus, 4MB shared L2 cache, and 65 watts TDP. These processors have been tested against AMD’s current top performing processors, which were, until this latest Intel release, the fastest CPUs available, and the vanilla Conroe boasts much faster peformance. Overclocking results show that the E6700 and E6600 are stable when overclocked to 4 GHz, despite having locked multipliers.

LOL. “The electrical current and molecular structure of the central processing unit is altered, causing it to blas apart like a large hand grenade.
“HAHAHAHA! That’s a nifty trick. So they have figured out fusion. Well, now that I think of it, those Intel CPUs do draw a lot of power…

Google launches free,online word-processor : Writely

Google has re-launched Writely, the online word-processor they recently bought, in public beta. Access to Writely is now free for everyone. Just sign up for an account. Writely does most things Word does, for free — and saves its output as PDFs and even RSS feeds (subscribe to a word-processor doc!). It features collaborative editing — multiple editors on the same doc at once — and can be used as the editor for writing your blog, saving out to a post instead of a file on your machine. This is a great-looking program for people who have always-on Internet, and for so long as you don’t worry about the NSA demanding that Google turn over its Writely files as part of some “security” procedure. Also: if I were a Google China user, I’d have some doubts about this, given that Google has shown that when it comes to China, keeping the government happy is more important than delivering the best product it can.

GO and Get It here : www.writely.com

What Writely can do:
Create new documents from scratch, upload them from most popular file formats (including Word), or e-mail them into Writely in batches.
Organize your documents by tags, or click to star the important ones. You can see at a glance who last edited a document and when.
Download your documents in batches for safe-keeping (in HTML), or save them individually in PDF, RTF, ODT or Word format.
Just click the toolbar buttons to bold, underline, change the font, make bulleted lists, indent and more.
You can add colors, insert tables, links, images, comments and more. There’s even an option to edit the document HTML, if you want that much control.
Offsite storage plus data backup every 10 seconds makes hard drive failures and power outages no longer an issue.
Pick exactly who can access your documents.

Firefox Owns ie7.com

This is pretty funny, mostly because I loath Internet Exploder Explorer.
Firefox has purchased the url ie7.com, so when you go to the site all you see is a big Firefox logo. Microsoft is still developing Internet Explorer 7, and it looks like our friends at Firefox grabbed the url first.I’d like to see a download Firefox button right on the page with the logo.
