Cool things about living in India (for Desis)

Logically thinking, western world has so much more to offer than India. Living in India is simply painful. Or is it? Is there anything cool about living in India? I just wanted to compile a few cool things of living in India. I am very well aware of down side of things. But for these who never lived overseas, for those who returned already and for those who will return soon, here are a few points.

1. Freedom:

You are no longer restricted by H1s, i94s and Green Card restrictions etc. When you are living in own country you have a great sense of freedom to do what you always wanted to do.

2. For-ever Vacation

Best thing I liked living in India is like it’s a continuous vacation. No need to save all leaves, pack your bags and travel 36hours for a vacation. It’s like a permanent vacation. Every week-end is a vacation.

3. Driving is optional

With easy availability of drivers, auto-walas, cabs, trains, buses etc., when you don’t feel like driving there are other options available.

4. Your spouse is no longer dependent on you

He/She can have their own life and not depending on you. If your spouse is home maker, she can have her own friend circle and go out on her own and have a life for herself.

5. Help from Parents and in-laws

When kids are sick, when you have too much work or travel, when you are not in great shape to take care of kids, you have the luxury to call-in help from parents or in-laws.

6. Raising kids

You can raise kids the way you want them to raise. In general you have more control on their activities when you are in India.

7. Festivals

This is cool. Do you miss Diwali, Krishnastami, Holi, Ganesh Chaturthi? Well you don’t if you live in India.

8. Medical help

Developed countries have great medical facilities and advanced technologies but for all small ailments, I felt India has availability of doctors better. Easy to get appointments, easy to get medicines, you get treatment customized to Indian kind of bodies. J

Another great help is easy availability of homeopathy and ayurvedic doctors/medicines.

9. Domestic help

Good or bad, but when you need, there is better availability of domestic help like maids, general labor etc., Very useful during parties, functions/events and house renovations etc.

10. Food

I felt the variety of food availability is great in India. Vegetarian restaurants, South Indian restaurants, north-Indian restaurants, along with all major international food chains. You don’t miss international style food and you don’t miss Indian style either.

I miss good Mexican and Thai food in India though.

11. Weather

This one is my favorite. Do you like going out with jacket on, gloves, covering your ears and face and wearing inners? Or just wear light clothing and dash out? Warm throughout the year is one big asset India can offer.

12. Friend circle for kids

Indian Kids in general have more fun in India than elsewhere. Many kids to play with, they freely play outside and parents need not be too much worries about who they are playing with etc. No question of Kids getting discriminated against.

13. Career

In general, (in a broad sense), not many opportunities to move to senior management in US while being an Indian programmer. In India you can choose a clear career path and not stuck up in technical coding roles for ever.

14. Stability in Marriage

Several of my friends and I felt more stability in marriage and more completeness in family life while living in India.

15. Spiritual help

With access to unlimited Indian TV and media, there is lot of spiritual guidance you can obtain (for Hindu culture) easily. You have access to vedic pundits, vedic literature, pooja help and wide wide variety of temples to visit while you live in India.

16. Friends Circle and Social Life

In western world most of the friend circle is about other desis at work. If you grew up in India, when you live here, you are in touch with school friends, you have neighbors, friends from your home town, in addition to work friends. So the “friends and acquaintance” part of life is more fulfilling.

17. Involvement Political system

Getting involved in local issues, voting, taking a stand in building the home country are some gifts that you miss when you live overseas. Living overseas has an effect in life that you live a detached life from social-political issues, which is okay, but for those desis who like getting involved, nothing like living in India and be active in political and social causes.

18. Living in minority vs living in majority

In India you are part of majority. There is a bit of insecurity when you live in minority. Your color is odd, your religion is strange and in general you don’t fit-in.

19. Don’t need to act (like fake)

Living natural is so much stress free. I observed may desis trying to force fit themselves into a different environment. Faking accent, faking newly learnt styles, generally struggling to fit-in.

20. Work related stress

Work related stress is so much easy to handle when you have an entire support system behind you and work is not only thing in your life that’s going-on. Stress gets spread out and its affects are minimized when you live in home country.

21. Career switching

I have seen several IT people coming back and getting into entertainment industry, start their businesses, take over their family businesses etc. I guess, for IT guys career switching is easier here in India into completely new fields only when you live here and pursue your dream.

22. Helping others and contributing to society

Are you the kind of guy who takes pleasure helping others? There is immense pleasure in helping the fellow county-men come up the curve than donating money to some charity in US/Europe. If you grew up in India, its more fulfilling to help your villagers, old friends etc. It’s not always about money, it’s about time you spend with them and help.

Well, that said, if you are happy where you are, whatever part of world, Don’t change.

Electric Passenger Plane…. in Flightpath 2050!!!!!!

How A Futuristic Electric Passenger Plane Could Transform Aviation Forever

 

If the aviation industry is going to meet the formidable fuel-efficiency goals laid out in the European Commission’s “Flightpath 2050,” a lot of progress needs to be made. 

The successful test flight of PC-Aero’s single seat Elektra One in 2011 proved that electric power is a potential solution.

But a concept presented by research institution Bauhaus Luftfahrt at this week’s ILA Berlin Air Show makes that vision of air travel more relevant, efficient, and downright cool.

The recently unveiled Ce-Liner is a fully electric commercial passenger plane that would carry nearly 200 travelers between continents and over oceans. To develop it, Bauhaus Luftfahrt is using a variety of new technologies.

The distinctive “C-wing” improves aerodynamic efficiency and makes the goal of powering transatlantic flights with electricity more viable. The research institution predicts that batteryto allow a flight range of nearly 700 miles. That will jump to 1,000 miles by 2035, and to 1,600 miles by 2040.

In addition to emissions-free flight (provided the electricity is produced from renewable resources), the Ce-Liner will have a half hour airport turnaround time, easily reversible motors for better speed control, and seat design that gives passengers more room when the plane is not full.

More importantly, electric flight could transform aviation. Airlines, no longer hostage to rising oil prices, would be freed from the need to pack flights and reduce service to produce profits. Electricity would actually make air travel pleasant, especially since there’s no headache-inducing jet engine noise.

To find out just how Bauhaus Luftfahrt plans to get the Ce-Liner built and into the skies in the next few decades, we spoke with Dr. Askin T. Isikveren, the head of the research institution’s Visionary Aircraft Concepts program.

Here’s what he told us.

Q: How does the C-Wing impact flight in terms of aerodynamics and efficiency?

A: The C-Wing concept, originated by [Ilan] Kroo of Stanford University and [John H.] McMasters of Boeing/University of Washington, focuses on reducing a significant amount of the drag attributed to aircraft lift – much in the same way winglets reduce drag on commercial transports and business jets. The difference here is we combine the traditional horizontal tail (usually a separate smaller wing at the back-end of the aircraft) with the main wing in such a manner that it can further enhance the benefits given by winglets. Think of it as a “winglet-let”. Our predictions indicate a total drag reduction of up to 11 percent compared to projected improvements in conventional, separate wing-horizontal tail designs.

Q: What makes the Ce-Liner’s motors capable of producing enough power for a large aircraft?

A: We utilise so-called High Temperature Super-conducting electric motors. These are very much in the experimental phase – currently a good measure of test-rig laboratory work is being performed in the US. These motors are well suited to aerospace application because they are expected to exhibit very good power-to-weight ratios. The Silent Advanced Fans utilising Electrical power (SAFE) propulsion devices of the Ce-Liner need a total of around 59,800 hp in order to take off.

By shrouding the SAFE fan blades, we project very quiet levels of community and cabin noise and yet still produce a high level of efficiency for the aircraft during operation. One additional benefit of utilising electric motors for propulsion is to generate reverse thrust (slow down the aircraft during, for example, landing) simply changing the direction of rotation achieves this. Today, kerosene-based engines require dedicated equipment for such a function, which increases weight and cost.

Q: What other design differences are there between the Ce-Liner and current, conventional passenger jets?

A: Bauhaus has also focused on the cabin. We propose a centre-fuselage boarding and de-boarding. Our novel Sideward Foldable Seat allows passengers to board and de-board quickly. In addition, when the cabin is not full (average US DOT numbers indicate cabins are not 100 percent full), by having the Sideward Foldable Seats collapsed when passengers do not require them, the cabin will have a feeling of more space in its surroundings, therefore affording more comfort.

To make sure the aircraft is ready for departure from the gate within 30 minutes, we have designed specially modified industry-standard LD-3 cargo containers (called Charge Carrying Containers, or 3Cs) to house the advanced lithium ion batteries. In this way, the aircraft can be turned around quickly without having to wait for them to be recharged (which takes up to two hours) – the procedure will be to load and unload these 3Cs when the aircraft is at the gate.

Q: What is the most difficult design challenge facing the Ce-Liner?

A: The most difficult challenge is to reduce the weight of the Universally-Electric Systems Architecture necessary for the Ce-Liner. Although we at BHL have set relatively aggressive weight targets for the electrical system components, the aircraft still ends up being heavier than, say, a future aircraft that operates with kerosene alone. This tends to penalise the performance of the aircraft, e.g. diminish range capability.

By communicating the outcomes of our research work, we look towards collaborating with the wider academic community and industry to assist us in addressing this problem. It should be highlighted that our investigations have shown, even with this high weight penalty, the Universally-Electric Systems Architecture alone produces up to 10 percent better vehicle efficiency compared to future kerosene based designs. Such an outcome is due to the inherently more efficient components and sub-systems associated with electrical based solutions. This is good news when one considers the potential when utilising energy, whatever it might be, for future applications in aerospace.

Q: How much is the design and construction of the Ce-Liner expected to cost?

A: We have not as yet conducted a full product development cost prediction for Ce-Liner. Seeing that many of the component technologies that constitute the Universally-Electric Systems Architecture are in the experimental phase nowadays, the target we have set is moderately higher than the cost one normally associates with advanced, kerosene-based narrow-body aircraft.

Q: What is the estimated sale price?

A: Our market value and subsequent aircraft list price modeling does not capture the effect of how zero-emissions capability would influence price. This is currently too difficult to predict. Based on a method generally accepted by the aviation community using range capability, passenger accommodation, and other cabin and performance attributes, we have projected a list price of $39.6 million.

SAN FRANCISCO: Apple Inc’s new iPhone goes on sale on Friday with a bigger screen and 4G wireless technology, as the company seeks to maintain its edge over rivals such as Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and Google Inc.Full coverage on Apple’s new iPhone

The iPhone 5 met the expectations laid out by gadget geeks and tech analysts ahead of the unveiling on Wednesday, but offered few surprises to give Apple shares, already trading near record highs, another major kick.

“There is not a wow factor because everything you saw today is evolutionary. I do think they did enough to satisfy,” said Michael Yoshikami, chief executive of the wealth management company Destination Wealth Management.

Other industry analysts turned quickly to speculating about what else was in Apple’s product pipeline ahead of the crucial end-year holiday season, especially as the company stayed mum about an oft-rumored TV device or a smaller iPad.

Analysts have forecast sales of 10 million to 12 million of the new iPhones in this month alone.

CEDING A LEAD 

Apple has sold more than 243 million iPhones since 2007, and the device ushered in the current applications ecosystem. But Samsung now leads the smartphone market with a 32.6 percent share followed by Apple with 17 percent, according to market research firm IDC. Both saw shipments rise compared to a year ago, with Samsung riding its flagship Galaxy S III phone.
“We would really like to see the iPad Mini in the product offering for the all important holiday quarter. They still have time,” said Channing Smith, co-manager of the Capital Advisors Growth Fund. “As soon as we see that, we will have more conviction about the stock heading into the final quarter.”

Shares in Apple ended the day up 1.4 percent at $669.79. The latest iPhone comes as Apple faces new competition from Microsoft Corp, which is pushing its Windows Phone 8 operating system as a third alternative to Apple and Google’s Android, the most-used mobile operating system in the world.

Take off of iphone 5 from APPLE….

NatarajanLeave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO: Not ready for a new iPhone? Don’t worry. Many software features are coming to older iPhones as well.

Apple has said that its iOS 6 software will have more than 200 new features, though some won’t be available on all devices. The new features include an updated mapping service and better integration with Facebook.

On Wednesday, Apple showed off the virtual assistantSiri giving driving directions. Siri will also let you post Facebook status updates you speak out to her.

There’s also an enhancement to email, so you can deem certain people “VIPs” and locate emails from them more easily.

As announced in June, iOS 6 will be a free upgrade for iPhones released since 2009 the 3GS, 4 and 4S models. It will also be available on last year’s and this year’s iPad models and newer iPod Touch devices. The update for older devices will be available starting next Wednesday.

The software will ship with the iPhone 5 out on September 21 in the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and UK. Advance orders will begin this Friday. It will be available in 22 more countries on September 28.

Teenager floats £30 camera into space to capture curvature of Earth

A teenager has floated a £30 camera he bought on eBay into space to capture amazing images of the Earth.

A teenager has floated a £30 camera he bought on eBay into space to capture amazing images of the Earth.

They look like they could be the latest images taken from a multi-million pound NASA satellite but these stunning snaps were actually taken from a £30 camera bought off eBay by a teenager.

Adam Cudworth, 19, managed to capture these incredible views of the earth from space using little more than a balloon and his second-hand camera.

And while NASA spends hundreds of millions of pounds each year on high tech satellites Adam, whose scientific background consists of only a Physics A-Level, achieved his incredible feat – on a £200 budget.

 

 

The student spent 40 hours working on a home-made device consisting of a box containing a GPS, radio and microprocessor – which soared to an incredible height of 110,210 ft (33,592m) when he released it last Thursday.

After taking two-and-a-half hours to float over 20 miles up into the earth’s stratosphere, his contraption captured out-of-this-world images giving breathtaking views of our planet from space.

Adam used a GPS tracker similar to a car’s sat-nav to follow its progress and an attached radio transmitter to find it when it fell back to earth having reached speeds of over 150mph.

The teenager, from Ombersley, Worcs., said: “It’s just a bit of hobby really, I just wanted to set myself a challenge – but I’m amazed at the results.

“I saw a guy who did a similar thing a couple of years back and I just wanted to recreate them – but better.

“I have no background in astrophysics or anything like that, I’m just an engineering student.

“People think its something that costs millions of pounds but I’ve proved you can do it on just a £200 budget.”

Adam bought a standard Canon A570 camera off eBay a year-and-a-half ago when he first had the idea for the project.

He placed it in an insulated box along with a small video camera, two temperature sensors, two high-performance solar panels, a tracking device, microprocessor and radio.

The Nottingham University student then attached it to a high-altitude two metre latex balloon with a parachute – and named his contraption HABE 5.

Following the launch, Adam tracked the balloon as it climbed to three times the height of a commercial plane before it burst and landed in Broadway, Worcs., 30 miles from his home.

The built-in circuit board allowed for Adam to cleverly record the speed, G-force and altitude his balloon was reaching at all times.

And incredible video footage taken alongside the photos, shows HABE 5 swirling through the clouds to dizzying heights.

He added: “When I retrieved the camera I was stunned – it had captured some incredible photos and footage.

“The exposure settings were different to my previous two attempts and I used materials which would be more robust in extreme temperatures and this led to clearer photos at altitude.

“The onboard video camera recorded great footage close to the ground after launch, however the lens fogged up at about 3km in altitude because moisture got in the lens – but it still looked rather impressive.

“I’m now working on project, which will allow me to control where the box lands when it falls back to earth.

“But that’s work in progress at the minute and I’ll have to be content with this for now.”

History of Laptop….

History of Laptop Computers –
It is a little hard to determine what was the first portable or laptop computer, the first portable computers did not look like the book-sized and folding laptops that we are familiar with today, however, they were both portable and lapable, and lead to the development of notebook style laptops.

The First Laptop? Maybe
Designed in 1979 by a Briton, William Moggridge, for Grid Systems Corporation, the Grid Compass was one fifth the weight of any model equivalent in performance and was used by NASA on the space shuttle program in the early 1980’s. A 340K byte bubble memory lap-top computer with die-cast magnesium case and folding electroluminescent graphics display screen.

Gavilan Computer As The First Laptop?
Manny Fernandez had the idea for a well-designed laptop for executives who were starting to use computer. Fernandez, who started Gavilan Computer, promoted his machines as the first “laptop” computers in May 1983. Many historians consider the Gavilan as the first fully functional laptop computer.

The First Laptop Computer – Osborne 1
The computer considered by most historians to be the first true portable computer was the Osborne 1. Adam Osborne, an ex-book publisher founded Osborne Computer and produced the Osborne 1 in 1981, a portable computer that weighed 24 pounds and cost $1795. The Osborne 1 came with a five-inch screen, modem port, two 5 1/4 floppy drives, a large collection of bundled software programs, and a battery pack. The short-lived computer company was never successful.

More History of Laptop Firsts

Also released in 1981, was the Epson HX-20, a battery powered portable computer, with a 20-character by 4 line LCD display and a built-in printer.
In January of 1982, Microsoft’s Kazuhiko Nishi and Bill Gates begin discussions on designing a portable computer, based on using a new liquid crystal display or LCDscreen. Kazuhiko Nishi later showed the prototype to Radio Shack who agree to manufacture the computer.
In 1983, Radio Shack released the TRS-80 Model 100, a 4 lb. battery operated portable computer with a flat and more of a laptop design.
In February 1984, IBM announced the IBM 5155 Portable Personal Computer.
Three years later in 1986, Radio Shack released the improved and smaller TRS Model 200.
In 1988, Compaq Computer introduces its first laptop PC with VGA graphics – theCompaq SLT/286.
In 1989, NEC UltraLite was released, considered by some to be the first “notebook style” computer. It was a laptop size computer which weighed under 5 lbs.
In September 1989, Apple Computer released the first Macintosh Portable that later evolved into the Powerbook.
In 1989, Zenith Data Systems released the Zenith MinisPort, a 6-pound laptop computer. (more Zenith laptops)
In October 1989, Compaq Computer released its first notebook PC, the Compaq LTE.
In March 1991, Microsoft released the Microsoft BallPoint Mouse that used both mouse and trackball technology in a pointing device designed for laptop computers.
In October 1991, Apple Computers released the Macintosh PowerBook 100, 140, and170 – all notebook style laptops. (more on Powerbooks)
In October 1992, IBM released its ThinkPad 700 laptop computer.
In 1992, Intel and Microsoft release APM or the Advanced Power Management specification for laptop computers.
In 1993, the first PDAs or Personal Digital Assistants are released. PDAs are pen-based hand-held computers.

Tailpiece…. Do you know that Mr.William Moggridge , who designed the first laptop ever in the year 1979, has passed away in SANFRANCISCO on September 8 this year ?…..the death of this unsung hero who originally designed the first ever laptop went almost unnoticed…..not even by Cyber world….

1..மனநிறைவே தரமான வாழ்க்கை……

* அதிகமாகப் பொருள்களைத் தேடிப்போவதால் வாழ்க்கைத்தரம் உயர்ந்துவிடாது. உண்மையில் வாழ்க்கைத்தரம் என்பது வெளி வஸ்துக்களின் பெருக்கத்தில் இல்லை. தரமான வாழ்க்கை மன நிறைவோடு இருப்பதுதான்.

2..எல்லா ஊரிலும் செல்லுபடியாகும் பணம் …..

நம்மிடம் ஆயிரம் ரூபாய் சில்லரையாக இருக்கிறது. அது சுமப்பதற்கும், பாதுகாப்பதற்கும் சிரமமாக இருக்கிறது. இந்த நிலையில் ஒரு மலையைக் கடந்து பக்கத்து நாட்டுக்கு செல்ல வேண்டிய சூழ்நிலை. அப்போது அந்தப்பணம், ரூபாய் நோட்டாக இருந்தால் எடுத்துச் செல்வது சுலபமாக இருக்குமே என எண்ணுகிறோம். ஆனால், அந்த நோட்டு, மலைக்கு அடுத்துள்ள நாட்டில் செல்லுபடியாவதாக இருக்க வேண்டும். நாமும் எங்கு போனாலும் செல்லுபடியாகும் நோட்டாக இருக்க வேண்டும். அதாவது, தனக்கும் பிறருக்கும் உபயோகப்படக் கூடிய செயல்களையே செய்ய வேண்டும்.

நமது ஊரில் செல்லுபடியாகும் பணம் ரஷ்யாவில் செல்லாது. அனைத்து ஊருக்கும் ஒரே ராஜா இருந்தால் அவனுடைய முத்திரையுள்ள பணம் எங்கும் செல்லுபடியாகும். இந்தப் பதினான்கு உலகங்களுக்கும் ஒரு ராஜா இருக்கிறான். அவன் தான் பரமேஸ்வரன். அவனுடைய சகல ராஜ்யங்களிலும் செல்லும் நோட்டாக சூதர்மம்’ இருக்கிறது. ஆகவே, தர்மம் செய்யுங்கள்.

அடுப்பில் தீ மூட்டியிருக்கிறோம். அப்போது மழை பொழிகிறது. நெருப்பு அணைந்துவிடும் போலிருக்கிறது. அந்த சூழலில் எதுவும் செய்யாமல் இருந்துவிட மாட்டோம். இருக்கிற தீப்பொறிகளை விசிறி, சிரமப்பட்டு, மறுபடியும் நெருப்பு பற்றிவிட முயற்சிப்போம். அதேபோல, நம் முன்னோர்களிடம் இருக்கும் ஆசாரத்தையும், தர்மத்தையும் எந்த சூழ்நிலையிலும் அணைந்துவிடாமல் பாதுகாத்து, எல்லாரிடத்திலும் பரவும்படி செய்ய வேண்டும்.

Apple Inc distributed invitations to an event in San Francisco on September 12, setting the stage for what is widely expected to be the release of the iPhone 5. The typically cryptic invitation said ‘It’s almost here’, sported a number 12 – corresponding to the date of the event – and cast a large shadow of the number 5, a clue that the fifth version of the popular smartphone could be in the pipeline. The event will take place at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the preferred venue for the unveiling of past products such as the iPad.

Here’s a look a the top rumours about the most-anticipated Apple device till date:

#1 The new screen could measure 4 inches from corner to corner, one source has said, an increase from the 3.5-inch display that has been held constant since the smartphone began selling in 2007 and revolutionized the mobile industry.

#2 A technology blog, 9to5Mac, that got hold of a purported photo of the next iPhone, say that the new phone would be taller than the previous iPhones, but not wider like many of the Andriod phones available today.

#3 The leaked images also show that the back panel appears to be covered in metal and the headphone jack is on the botton of the phone now.

#4 Apple Inc’s new iPhone will drop the wide dock connector used in the company’s gadgets for the best part of a decade in favour of a smaller one, a change likely to annoy the Apple faithful but which could be a boon for accessory makers. The iPhone 5, Apple’s next generation iPhone expected to go on sale around October, will come with a 19-pin connector port at the bottom instead of the proprietary 30-pin port “to make room for the earphone moving to the bottom”, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. It would mean the new phone would not connect with the myriad of accessories such as speakers and power chargers that form part of the ecosystem around iPods, iPads and iPhones, without an adaptor.

#5 The phone will have an advanced technical capability of LTE (Long Term Evolution) wireless network that would give all phone carriers a chance to sell their fastest data services to Apple’s base of iPhone customers. LTE technology is much more fragmented than the previous third-generation wireless technology, making it more difficult to make LTE phones that work seamlessly around the world.

#6 The next iPhone, is expected to come with a built-in chip which can serve as your credit or debit card for small payments. Tech savvies looking at leaked images of the internals of the device have spotted what they believe is an NFC chip within the phone. NFC is seen as the successor to the chip-and-pin, serving as a small contactless card that can be waved against scanners at tills to automate a payment, the Daily Mail reported.

#7 Audience Inc , which makes chips used in Apple Inc’s iPhones, said its top customer is unlikely to use its technology for the latest iPhone. Audience’s chips improve the voice quality in mobile devices by filtering out background noise, and the company supplies these to Apple’s contract manufacturers like Foxconn International Holdings Ltd and Protek Ltd.

#8 Vietnamese tech news site tinhte.vn, has speculative images of the newly designed earphones that could accompany the new iPhone.

#9 Photos that are believed to be that of the next generation iPhone’s motherboard that have surfaced on the WeiPhone user forum, show that a SIM card slot that seem to be smaller than the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S.
