Devotees coming to the temple will have to put their thumb on the scanner and the fingerprint will be sent to the central processor of a computer installed at the control room of the temple, which will match the data with the data bank in the main computer.

“The fingerprints and other relevant details of the known anti-national and anti-social elements of the entire country will be fed into the data bank”

Its no secret that every one at office will go through their personal mail and surf web. and Its no strange that companies  block such acts.

A recent study done by two professors from Ohio State University and University of California quotes that…
Installing filters to block access to Web sites and e-mail services could backfire.
This report says that people may use the Web at work to help balance job and life responsibilities; with the personal matters taken care of from work, they can focus on the task at hand.

I hope Your boss n my boss will go through this

India‘s unmanned mission to the moon, Chandrayaan-1 is all set for launch in April 2008.

The ground infrastructure for the mission is being set up by Indian Space Research Organisation, (ISRO), in the rural outskirts of Bangalore. And now, installation of a giant antenna is complete and it is all set to begin performance tests.

It would seem to be an unlikely place from which to provide tracking and command support for India’s first mission to the moon. But the area around Byalalu village was ideal in many ways for the setting up of the country’s first Deep Space Network Station.

”Bangalore is already congested with too many mobile towers and telecommunication networks. We cannot afford to in that midst to have any sensitive installation in terms of radio frequencies. Barriers that you see around, hillocks that really protect our campus, with that we have physical barriers for the noise that intrudes into our system,” said SK Shivakumar, Director, ISTRAC, ISRO.

”Now, three years after deciding that this was the spot, a 32 metre diameter antenna has been installed. This portion of the project will cost Rs 100 crore out of Chandrayaan’s total project cost of 386 crores – and is the work of several agencies. The antenna is now ready to undergo performance tests for its important tasks.”

”It provides two way communication with the satellite. It enables reception of downlink signals, what we call telemetry signals coming from the satellite – that will tell us all about the health of the satellite,” said Shivakumar.

”Also we should talk to the satellite because many of the signals are switchable from ground, so we need to switch a system on or off, all these telecommand operations where you order a satellite to do certain things from ground – these are also helped by the same antenna. And also we do the tracking operations,” he added.

The Deep Space Network will take care of not just Chandrayaan-1 but future deep space missions as well, for both India and other countries.

This rough, rural area outside Bangalore is part of a natural crater. And that makes it an ideal location for that giant antenna which has a diameter of 32 metres.

Stop dreaming, the day is not so far.

Hyderabad based company IChip Technologies  has developed an integrated device named ‘@Box’ to couple the features of a computer and a TV.

The ‘@Box’ is free from the routine of booting, does not need any storage devices, yet works equally as any normal computer. Ichip India has developed hardware as well as software for this device.

The device would be available at a price of $ 100 to consumers, and is expected to hit Indian markets next year. Kota Bhaskar, Ichip India s President and CTO, believes that with the affordable price and user-friendly nature of the ‘@Box’, it will be popular amongst Indian consumers.

Ichip India has invested nearly 10 crores towards technological developments, and awaits four patents in its name. The company plans to incorporate ‘@Box’ with new TV sets, and is looking to establish partnerships with telcos and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to offer various services through the new device.

Meanwhile, though the device is meant to offer an interface between the TV and the computer, it’s likely that its functionality backed by the Linux OS, may prove to be an obstacle in its path. The reason being that not only in India but across the globe, Windows users are still in high numbers compared to those using Linux — mainly due to Linux’s lack of compatibility with other software applications, technologies, and devices.
