 Fb's new messaging system: More than just email?

Facebook, with more than 500 million users communicating with each other daily, is looking to reinvent communications - and not just email.

The company today is introducing a three-pronged system that strives to not necessarily change the way we communicate but to make it more efficient, more personal and definitely simpler. And, of course, Facebook wants to make it seamless across the platforms and devices we’re already using.

At a press event in San Francisco this morning, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg stressed that this is not “Facebook email,” which was the general belief in the guessing game that surrounded this event. Yes, everyone will soon have the option of securing an @facebook.com email address if they so choose - but it’s more than that. He said:

We’re using a mechansism that’s much simpler, like SMS or IM. We spent a lot of time building a handful of products that fit what we think of as a modern day messaging system.

At the heart of it all is the “social inbox,” a place where messages - again,not just email - are housed and filtered. Because Facebook already knows who your “friends” are, it can filter messages that it believes to be important to you. Everything else - not necessarily junk but maybe a newsletter or a bank statement or something from a family member who’s not on Facebook - goes into an “other” folder
And if one of those messages from a friend would be better for the “other” folder or a message from someone who landed in “other” should be in the social inbox, the user can move them back and forth, adjusting how those emails are handled in the future.

In terms of the seamless integration that Zuckerberg and team talked about, the idea is that users should be able to have an IM appear as an SMS or an SMS appear as an email, giving people a way to use the communication tool they prefer without worrying about how the recipient will see it or respond to it.

That can be pretty powerful. The company said the rollout to users will be a slow one - over the next couple of months - and initially will be spread via invitations. The idea is to let people get used to it and offer some feedback to Facebook about it.

Overall, I like what Facebook is doing here. For some time now, I’ve been squawking about how cumbersome and inefficient email continues to be - despite some of the breakthroughs that companies like Yahoo and Google have been pitching lately, such as Gmail’s Priority Inbox.

The jury will be out for a bit on whether Facebook’s effort is a winning solution or whether people will actually start using it. Zuckerberg stressed that no one at Facebook is expecting users to dump their Gmail or Yahoo mail accounts any time soon.

But the idea that some users, including the younger users who already prefer SMS and Facebook over traditional email systems, will shift the winds for future generations is something that makes me hopeful - hopeful that the clunky e-mail systems of today will someday be history.

ZUCKERBERG was a Harvard graduate and during his college times he created a site called "facemash" which let other people choose who is looking good from the available photos which were alleged that,they have been uploaded with out their permission.so it was forced to shutdown but the students opined that there must be a site which host their photos and details and mark ZUCKERBERG along with his other mates setup the site The Photo Address Book which students referred to as “The Facebook.” which grabbed the attention of people from surroundings,other cities,states,countries and it spread world wide.initially it was allowed only to harvard students then to students of other universities and now the eligibility criteria is "above 13 yr old"

  Myths about INDIA

So you’re traveling to India, the land of myth and foible. You’ve done your research, you’ve had your shots, you’ve learned how to say “No” in seven Indian languages. But India has a surprise around every pile of rubble, and around every overgrown bush. Here are 10 myths you’ve conquered... you think!

1. India is one huge country
You’ve cracked this most basic myth haven’t you? You’ve learned to approach India as a continent rather than a country. You’ve broken it up – first into north and south, and then into states, cultures, languages.

And then you enter Karnataka and find somebody speaking, not Kannada, not Hindi, not Konkani, not Tulu, but a whole new language called Kodavatakku.

Expat Newsletter with special focus on Bangalore!

2. India is hot
You’re moving to Bangalore. Nice move. Okay, it gets hot, but never ‘heat and dust’ hot. And if it ever gets unbearable, the rains always oblige. Bangalore is beautiful and cool after the rain.

3. India is spiritual
Goes without saying. Land of the vedas, yoga, karma and meditation.

And then you come here and meet the Indian Government Official. There’s nothing spiritual about a system that needs money for every move. There’s nothing otherworldly about men who need to be bribed just to do their job.

And when you discover that through inattention they’ve lost everything you’ve given them, they look to the sky. They say it’s written in your fate. They tell you not to get angry – what’s done is done. It may be your karma. God put it on your forehead at birth. You are insignificant – it was to happen. It’s probably happened for the best. Learn and move on. Become a better person. Oh, and while you’re at it, apply for replacement passports. India is indeed spiritual!

4. India is filled with nasty disease-carrying insects
Okay, there are mosquitoes. But you know the drill: deet repellents, sprays and maybe even a mosquito net.

Then, as you sit down in the restroom, a panicked periplaneta americana (that’s whacking great cockroach to you and me) leaves its sewery footprints across your back.

5. The water will kill you
You know the safe word: Bisleri. You don’t go anywhere without a bottle of mineral water clasped in your hands.

And then you read about an entire industry that has sprung up re-bottling “mineral” water from railway station taps. In “sealed” Bisleri bottles.

6. It’s a country of faded splendor
You’ve read all the guidebooks, seen the beautiful photographs. You know the glory that remains. After all, the awe those monuments inspire is shiny and new.

Then you go in for a closer look. You find that Raju loves Shoba so much, he needs to write it everywhere he goes. And his brother Ramu, well he’s a bit incontinent and has to relieve himself in every dark corner he finds. Indian history is entwined with the smell of ammonia.

7. Indians have no concept of personal space
You know that they are often overfriendly, but that’s only because they’re such a warm, hospitable people. They open their hearts, houses and lunch boxes to you. You know that if you open your mind in return, you’ll never feel violated.

And then, after feeding you, the family you met on the train treats you like a waxwork – each member poses with you for a souvenir photograph.

8. Indians speak a funny English
Not at all. You’ve read Chillibreeze.com, Seth, Roy… you know it’s funny only if it’s intended to be.

And then a national English newspaper carries a photograph of a family looking out across Taj Mahal with the caption: “A family watches the lawns of Taj Mahal”. A feature in the same paper shows complete (and often ungrammatical) disrespect for the power of the phrase “he says”. A person quoted goes through every shade of human expression: “he asserts”, “he opines”, “he believes”, “he informs” and best of all: “he feels”. As in: “India is a beautiful country,” he feels.

9. India is cheap
Everybody knows that.

And then you move here and pay $20,000 for a car with no handling, no legroom, no bootspace, no leather and no style. Oh, and practically no engine. Soon after, looking at the traffic, you realise you need a
chauffeur. Surprise surprise, a full-time chauffer comes for less
money a month than you'd need for one meal at a decent restaurant.

10. And finally, the biggest myth of them all: India
There’s no such thing. You know it. Indians know it too. There are just too many differences in language and culture. Too many differences over rivers, states and boundaries. The real India is not the one you see when you travel nor the one you read about in your guidebooks. It is somewhere in between.

And then… in spite of all the vexation, the diseases, the myths that squish underfoot… Once you’ve crossed those first dark days, once you’ve flushed the digestive tract 10 times over, once you lose your fear of stray dogs, crowds and mosquito bites, you begin to realize, there is an India under all this. An India that is common across the land, across all the people in it. Because India is inside you. India is that love for a grainy, gritty immediateness to life that makes living worthwhile.

Aakash 2's first lot not for students: Government

NEW DELHI: The recently developed Aakash-2 tablet is for the purpose of testing and empowerment of teachers and there is no proposal to provide these to students from poor and rural backgrounds, the government told Lok Sabha today.

In a written reply, Union Human Resource Development Minister, MM Pallam Raju said, "Presently there is no proposal in this regard... In the first phase one lakh tablets are for the purpose of testing and teacher empowerment. They would not be distributed to students in the first phase."

He was asked whether the government is planning to provide Aakash 2 tablets free of cost to students, particularly to the rural and poor students belonging to the weaker sections of the society.

The advanced version of low cost access device Aakash 2 tablet was launched by President Pranab Mujherjee on occasion of National Education Day on November 11, this year, Raju said.

"The salient features of Aakash-2 tablet includes seven inch multi-touch capacitive projective display with at least 800x480 resolution. It runs on Android 4.0 (ice-cream sandwich) operating system, powered by 1GHz processor and HD video playback support," the minister said.

The device has Wi-Fi support for internet connectivity with four GB internal memory storage and a microSD card slot that can support cards having capacities up to 32GB.

Google makes '$100 laptop' a reality

BOSTON: Google began selling basic laptop computers to schools at a price of $99, meeting a price point that prominent MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte famously held out in 2005 as key to bringing computing power to the masses.

The internet giant said on Monday that it will be offering the steep educational discount on Series 5 Chromebooks from Samsung Electronics through December 21. They typically retail for $249.

Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child Foundation failed to meet his ambitious target, which critics said would be impossible to meet when he set it. His XO laptop currently sell for about $200.

Still, he is widely credited with helping to launch the era of low-cost portable computing.

The creation of relatively low-cost laptops from his foundation pressured industry giants including Intel, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and Dell to develop inexpensive versions of their products such as the netbook.

Why Does Software Have Bugs???

Why does software have bugs????

* Miscommunication or no communication - as to specifics of what an application should or shouldn’t do (the application’s requirements).

* software complexity - the complexity of current software applications can be difficult to comprehend for anyone without experience in modern-day software development. Multi-tier distributed systems, applications utilizing mutliple local and remote web services applications, data communications, enormous relational databases, security complexities, and sheer size of applications have all contributed to the exponential growth in software/system complexity.

* programming errors - programmers, like anyone else, can make mistakes.

* changing requirements (whether documented or undocumented) - the end-user may not understand the effects of changes, or may understand and request them anyway - redesign, rescheduling of engineers, effects on other projects, work already completed that may have to be redone or thrown out, hardware requirements that may be affected, etc. If there are many minor changes or any major changes, known and unknown dependencies among parts of the project are likely to interact and cause problems, and the complexity of coordinating changes may result in errors. Enthusiasm of engineering staff may be affected. In some fast-changing business environments, continuously modified requirements may be a fact of life. In this case, management must understand the resulting risks, and QA and test engineers must adapt and plan for continuous extensive testing to keep the inevitable bugs from running out of control.

* time pressures - scheduling of software projects is difficult at best, often requiring a lot of guesswork. When deadlines loom and the crunch comes, mistakes will be made.

* egos - people prefer to say things like:

no problem
piece of cake
I can whip that out in a few hours;
it should be easy to update that old code

instead of:
that adds a lot of complexity and we could end up
making a lot of mistakes

we have no idea if we can do that; well wing it
I cant estimate how long it will take, until I
take a close look at it
we cant figure out what that old spaghetti code
did in the first place

If there are too many unrealistic no problems;, the
result is bugs.

* poorly documented code - it’s tough to maintain and modify code that is badly written or poorly documented; the result is bugs. In many organizations management provides no incentive for programmers to document their code or write clear, understandable, maintainable code. In fact, it’s usually the opposite: they get points mostly for quickly turning out code, and there’s job security if nobody else can understand it (’if it was hard to write, it should be hard to read’).

* software development tools - visual tools, class libraries, compilers, scripting tools, etc. often introduce their own bugs or are poorly documented, resulting in added bugs.

Re: Why Does Software Have Bugs??

What Are Some Recent Major Computer System Failures Caused By Software Bugs.

* According to news reports in April of 2004, a software bug was determined to be a major contributor to the 2003 Northeast blackout, the worst power system failure in North American history. The failure involved loss of electrical power to 50 million customers, forced shutdown of 100 power plants, and economic losses estimated at $6 billion. The bug was reportedly in one utility company’s vendor-supplied power monitoring and management system, which was unable to correctly handle and report on an unusual confluence of initially localized events. The error was found and corrected after examining millions of lines of code.

* In April of 2003 it was announced that the largest student loan company in the U.S. made a software error in calculating the monthly payments on 800,000 loans. Although borrowers were to be notified of an increase in their required payments, the company will still reportedly lose $8 million in interest. The error was uncovered when borrowers began reporting inconsistencies in their bills.

  Rise of 4G

Today, there is a significant deployment of 3G/3.5G networks, supporting a whole range of bandwidth-intensive applications such as audio and video streaming. Consumers are looking to replicate their Internet experiences from wired broadband services even while they are on the move.

The phenomenal success of smartphones (especially iPhones and BlackBerry phones), netbooks and tablet PCs (especially iPads) has resulted in a sudden surge in data bandwidth usage on the wireless operator's access networks. Several operators are addressing this data tsunami problem by resorting to application prioritization, combined with tiered pricing as a replacement for flat-rate pricing model. While this can be a good short-term palliative, wireless operators are strategically exploring the next-generation wireless technology (4G) to help alleviate this problem in the long term.

Currently, the two prominent choices for 4G wireless access technology are WiMax and LTE. These two technology options have a lot of similarities. The radio access networks for both are based on OFDM with support On-demand Remote Support - Free Trial from LogMeIn Rescue: Fast, secure solution for today's most popular platforms. for MIMO antennas. Both are "all-IP" networks in the core as well as access component, and both support speeds >50Mbps (Note: subscribers could expect consistent speeds of 10Mbps).

However, their origins and pedigrees are different and hence, their respective priorities vary. Given this, it is likely that WiMax and LTE will co-exist as sibling technologies for 4G wireless and complement each other by focusing on their respective areas of strength rather than competing with each other for operators' attention.
Origins of Technology

WiMax comes in two flavors -- fixed and mobile -- and has evolved from WiFi/WLAN technology to support a higher bandwidth as well as an increased range of more than ~30km. With its standards ratified by IEEE, WiMax positions itself as the wireless broadband access technology for data applications.

This "data-centric" approach works well for applications such as high-quality video streaming (over IP networks) and is expected to be consumed primarily by laptops and netbooks instead of smartphones. Hence, support for high-quality voice may not be a top priority for WiMax network operators, though voice services will be provided through standard VoIP applications. Without elaborate QoS support for voice applications, the voice quality is likely to be inferior to that of digital circuit-switched networks. Further, there is no accepted standard for voice services over WiMax to date.

LTE, on the other hand, has evolved within the 3GPP standards body and is positioned as the evolution from the current 3G/3.5G technologies for cellular operators. Taking the "voice-centric" approach, where voice is still considered as the "killer-app" for cellular operators, LTE has thrust a lot of importance to make the voice-application work very well on top of LTE. For example, LTE has been designed to work on the 700 MHz spectrum to efficiently support voice applications across longer distances and with higher in-building penetration.

LTE also comes in two flavors, namely, FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE. Frequency Division Duplex LTE uses two different frequency ranges for uplink and downlink communication -- hence requires more spectral bandwidth. Time Division Duplex LTE uses different time-slots for uplink and downlink communication, but on the same frequency band. WiMax (which also uses TDD) and TDD-LTE, therefore, are spectrally very efficient for communication.
Present Scenario

Commercial WiMax deployments have been going on for a few years now, touching nearly 600 deployments spanning across 150 countries today. These networks offer the end-user a rich and consistent broadband experience and work well for data applications. For voice services, the WiMax operators typically fall back to the 2G/3G option (through partnerships), thereby requiring a 2G/3G network to remain co-existent along with the WiMax network.

LTE, the 3GPP-based standard, is still in its very nascent stages. While trials have started in many operator networks today, the commercial rollouts of LTE have been very limited. The year 2010 started out with commercial LTE deployments by TeliaSonera in Sweden and Norway, and it is expected that about 20 deployments will be ready by end of 2010.

In the U.S., LTE trials are going on with both Verizon and AT&T (NYSE: T), with a commercial deployment to be ready in 2011.

In Europe, Tier1 operators such as Telefonica and Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) are conducting LTE trials, to be soon followed by a commercial deployment. The APAC region is aggressively pursuing LTE trials with China Mobile, Chungwa Telecom, NTT Docomo, SK Telecom, Telstra and KDDI leading the pack -- and some of them are expected to have commercial launches in 2010 itself.

Though many operators are trialing LTE today, the expectations are that it will take at least another couple of years (year 2012 and beyond) before we see more widespread commercial LTE deployments, supported by an ecosystem of easily available data dongles and smartphones capable of supporting LTE, combined efficiently with interoperability agreements across multiple operators for roaming users.
Some Recent Shifts

Growth of WiMax could be negatively impacted due to some of the recent strategic decisions taken by a few WiMax operators. Clearwire, a WiMax-based operator in the U.S., recently announced the trial of LTE services (in an overlay/co-existent mode) in the coming few months. While the outcome may eventually favor either technology, the investment needed to trial the LTE service will obviously distract Clearwire from growing its WiMax business to the fullest.

On a similar note, Sprint (NYSE: S), another WiMax service provider in the U.S., announced the possibility of acquiring T-Mobile's GSM assets in North America, with the focused intent of growing its LTE footprint.

In Europe, Yota, a Russia-based WiMax provider, has initiated a plan to overlay LTE networks in five cities in Russia this year with an investment of close to US$1 billion. Again, this investment obviously comes at the expense of WiMax growth.

Announcements from India are mixed after the recently concluded spectrum auction for technology-agnostic Broadband Wireless Access (BWA). Infotel, the PAN-India license winner, has no legacy infrastructure and is likely to roll out the well-proven and mature WiMax services with the intent of immediate monetization.

Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM), another license winner with no legacy infrastructure, announced its intent to roll out LTE jointly with two partners. Bharti-Airtel remains undecided at this time, though it is likely that it will align with the LTE solution.
Deciding Factors

Both WiMax and LTE are equally viable alternate technologies for the next-generation wireless networks. The decision by an operator to choose one or the other, therefore, becomes a business decision rather than a technology decision.

One hypothesis is that operators with little or no prior legacy infrastructure in 2G/3G networks can easily opt for the WiMax route and monetize their deployment for near-term returns. WiMax is ready today -- here and now. It can be deployed quickly and is supported by a vibrant ecosystem of devices, including dongles and embedded chips.

The readiness of LTE and its immediate monetization is questionable, especially given that operators need to take some risks toward building an LTE-based viable service. Infotel's decision in India strongly validates this hypothesis -- especially in a price-sensitive, risk-averse market like India.

On the other hand, operators with legacy rollout in 2G/3G networks are likely to take the LTE path in line with the recommendations made by 3GPP. There is a significant cost associated with 3G->4G migration, given that the technology in the access as well as core has to be completely revamped.

Another alternative is possible. For the near-term advantages, an operator could roll out WiMax services initially and eventually migrate to LTE. Given the technological similarities between the two technologies, the eventual migration to LTE, especially TDD-LTE, could re-use about 70 percent of the WiMax rollout, thereby minimizing additional capital expenditure.

Finally, the success of 4G depends not just on the technology, but how the operators roll it out to provide the most flexible set of services to their end-users.

WHY BILLGATES Sold Microsoft?

Letter is from a SARDAR of Punjab to Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft
Subject: Problems with my new computer


Dear Mr. Bill Gates,
We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some
problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

1. There is a button start but there is no stop button. We request you to check this.

JNTU-HYD : Detailed info on Exemption of 2 subjects, Grace Marks & Class Change Rule [For R09 Batch Students]

As many of the students are asking many doubts/queries regarding the exemption of subjects, grace marks, class change. I have seen many students are asking similar type of doubts.This topic will answers all your doubts & queries.

Here are some of the question posted by students from past one week. I will post answers to all the questions so that your doubts can be clarified at one place.

Note : All the answers posted in this topic are collected from various exam branche in-charges (Including from JNTUH). I would answer all the question to best of my knowledge. Even though once contact your college exam cell, find out the info & verify the same before u proceed further on any issues.

Read all the points before u post any query. It took lot of time to collect & post the entire data. The other websites people who are copying this topic data from JNTUWORLD do mention source as JNTUWORLD website url/link (Its a minimum courtesy).

Terms used in the posting.(This topic is only meant for R09 batch students. Other batch students can post the queries in
Q = Question.
Ans = Answer.
JNTUH = JNTU-HYDERABAD (JNTU-HYD).

Q) Is Exemption of subjects rule declared officially ?
Ans : Yes Exemption of subjects rule is declared officially by JNTU-HYD today (20th June 2013). For info & official notification visit the below url


Q) How many subjects can we leave/exempt under the exemption rule ?
Ans : U can leave/exempt maximum of 2 subjects (max of 8 credits) from 1 to 4 years.

Q) Who all students comes under R09 Batch ?
Ans : Students who got admitted into B.Tech in 2009,2010,2011,2012 comes under R09 batch.

Q) Is Exemption/Leaving of subjects rule applicable for B.Pharmacy students ?
Ans : No, its not applicable for B.Pharmacy students. They need to clear all the subjects from 1 to 4 years in-order to be eligible for award of degree.

Q) Do Lateral Entry students have chance to leave subjects ?
Ans : According to the latest info which we got from JNTUH is that lateral entry students can't leave subjects (This is still not yet official). We will try to get the correct info within 1 to 2 days from DE-JNTUH & will inform u.

Q) What does leaving/Exempt of 2 subjects mean ?
Ans : Exemption of 2 subjects means students have an option to leave or Exempt 2 subjects to get the degree. If a students secures 192 credits out of 200 Registered credits then the student will be eligible for award of degree. So, here students are having an option to leave 8 credits max.

In a simple way i can say that if a student fails in 1 or 2 subjects, if he wish to leave those subjects then he can leave those 1 or 2 subjects & he can get the degree.

Q) What does Exempt of 8 Credits mean ?
Ans : U do have an option to leave 2 subjects at most which carries a total of 8 credits. Here are the following cases for leaving of 8 credits max.

1) U can leave 2 subjects which carries 4 + 4 Credits each = Total of 8 Credits (Secured 192 Credits).
2) U can leave 2 subjects which carries 4 + 3 Credits each = Total of 7 credits (Total no.of credits should not exceed 8) - Secured 193 credits
3) U can leave 2 subjects which carries 3 + 3 Credits each = Total of 6 credits (Total no.of credits should not exceed 8) - Secured 194 credits
4) U can leave 1 subject which carries 6 credits = Total of 6 credits (Total no.of credits should not exceed 8) - Secured 194 credits.

Q) How this rule will be beneficial ?
Ans : This rule will be beneficial to increase the percentage (For those who cleared all subjects) & also to get the degree (For those students who got failed in 1 or 2 subjects).

Q) I got failed in 1 or 2 subjects. How can i get memos (PC,CMM) ?
Ans : Students who got failed in 1 or 2 subjects can leave those subjects to get the memos. They need to apply for leaving of subjects by filling the undertaking form & submit it in respective colleges. so that JNTUH can issue the memos for them. Follow the below mentioned url to know the complete info on how to apply for exemption of subjects.

Procedure to apply for undertaking (If u fail in 1 or 2 subjects)

Q) I got cleared in all subjects & secured 200 credits. Do i need to apply for Exemption of subjects ?
