Now watch movies through Facebook, courtesy Warner Bros

Now you'll be able to watch movies through Facebook. Yes, you have read it correct. Warner Bros is going to make some of its films on the popular social networking site. The service will initially be available in the U.S.

Facebook Credits, a virtual credit which has been mainly in social games so far, will be used for consumers to pay for the movies, said Warner Bros. According to it, this will open up a new source of revenue for the social network site.

Facebook's revenue mainly comes from online advertising. It takes 30 percent of the revenue from sales by third parties on the website using Credits.

"The Dark Knight" is the first movie available on the Warner Bros Entertainment page on Facebook. In the coming months, there will be additional titles available for rental or purchase. For 48 hours, the rentals cost 30 Facebook Credits or $3. However, can pause and restart a movie whenever they log back in.

Google Fast Flip

Google Fast Flip is an online news aggregator from Google Inc. that mimics the experience of flicking through a newspaper or magazine, allowingvisual search of stories in manner similar to microfiche. It was launched in beta by Google Labs at the TechCrunch 50 conference in September 2009.

The site presents images of stories from Google's news partners, which can be clicked on to navigate to the story on the news provider's own website. Stories can be scrolled between using the mouse or cursor keys. The presentation of stories uses a similar algorithm to Google News, but stories can be ordered by publication as well as by subject. Krishna Bharat of Google News has said that "Fast Flip is mostly for longer shelf-life content, the kind of content you want to recommend to other people." Fast Flip was created after Larry Page "asked why the web was not more like a magazine, allowing users to flip from screen to screen seamlessly." Fast Flip is available on iPhone and Android mobile devices.

Users of Fast Flip are able to follow friends and topics, find new content, and to create their own customized magazines around their searches.

At launch, there were 39 mainly US-based news partners. Google says it will share the majority of revenue from contextual adverts with its news partners.

Fast Flip has been praised for allowing visual, fast and serendipitous browsing of news stories, but it has been criticized as being a novelty, anachronistic, as it emulates print media, limits navigation and presents few news sources, and as being more focused on the needs of publishers than of readers. Its visual search has been compared to the beta visual search of Microsoft Bing and to The Onion's microfiche iPhone app. Fast Flip has also been cited as a demonstration of Google's power in the news marketplace; by setting up another news interface that uses publishers' content without returning much value.

Google Goggles

Google Goggles is a downloadable image recognition application created by Google Inc. It is currently found in the Google Labs as a beta version. Currently, it is used for searches based on pictures taken by handheld devices. For example taking a picture of a famous landmark would search for information about it, or taking a picture of a product's barcode will search for information on the product.

The program proposed will be capable of identifying virtually anything. Currently the system is able to identify various labels or landmarks, allowing the user to learn about such items without needing a text-based search. The system can identify barcodes that allow users to search for similar products and prices, as well as save codes for future reference, similar to the failed CueCat of the late '90s, but with more functionality. The system will also recognize printed text and using Optical character recognition (OCR) produce a text snippet, and in some cases even translate the snippet into another language.

Meet The New Twitter

 

Now share your location with friends on FB

Facebook has introduced a new location-based functionality called 'Facebook Places'. Now Facebook users will be able to add their current location to their status updates via Facebook Places.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, Facebook, highlighted the three main uses of Places, "Help you share where you are, help you find where your friends are, and discover new places around you."

You can also add places and can check-in at places. However, Facebook does not show you nearby places, but places it thinks are relevant to you.

Also photo tagging has been incorporated with Places. You can "tag" friends that are with you at a specific location. Thus, everybody doesn't have to check-in on their own. Implementation of tagging seems to be one of the best features of the platform.

The privacy controls for Places comprise of removing check-in and the "Here Now" button is activated only after you check in. You are notified when you are tagged and you can only tag your friends. You can also remove tags or turn off being tagged in Facebook Places. You also have the option to report a place on the iPhone if it's inaccurate or don't want it on the system.

Another interesting feature of Places is "Is this your business?" It allows owners to claim a business page. So, something is there for the business owners as well.

Facebook has kept developers in mind as well while creating Places. There's a Read API for reading check-ins and learning more about check-in pages. There's a Search and Write API for making check-ins and searching through them.

TCS to introduce cloud computing for SMBs

As an attempt to make the information technology services affordable for the SMBs in the country, India's leading IT company TCS is set to launch a new project, a cloud offering. The offering is expected to launch by September, writes Achalla Venugopal from WATBlog.com.

This cloud service aims to lower the cost of ownership by 35-40 percent. The traditional licensing model will be replaced by a monthly subscription model. The IT stack includes hardware, networking and software. New customers will be locked in for three years. TCS plans to focus on the domestic market with this offering first and then later expand to overseas markets too.

Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand. Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet, and it typically involves over-the-Internet provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources.

The service is expected to be a major growth engine for TCS. It can revolutionize the way Indian SMBs do their businesses providing them the same IT infrastructure which they could otherwise not afford. This offering which has yet not been branded is also been talked about as the last big-ticket project from Ratan Tata.

Google plans superfast internet

San Francisco: Google plans to build a fiber optic broadband network that will connect customers to the internet at speeds 100 times faster than most existing broadband connections in the US, the company announced on its corporate blog.

"Our goal is to experiment with new ways to help make internet access better and faster for everyone," two Google product managers, Minnie Ingersoll and James Kelly, wrote in the blog post Wednesday.

They said that Google plans to build and test the network in trial communities around the country starting later this year and that the tests could encompass as many as 500,000 people. They cited 3-dimensional medical imaging and quick, high-definition film downloads among the applications of such high-speed internet access.

"We'll deliver internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fibre-to-the-home connections," the post said. "We plan to offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people."

"We're doing this because we want to make the web better and faster to everyone," said Kelly, who also promised that the network would operate on open access network, in which users could choose various internet providers and which would not give preference to any one kind of content. Kelly appealed to local officials who were interested in having their community participate in the trial to contact the internet giant.

The announcement continued Google's recent initiative to expand into market sectors beyond its core web search specialty. In the last year it has made a splash in the mobile phone market with its Android operating system and Nexus One handset, and Tuesday announced a social networking feature aimed at taking on Facebook and Twitter.

While broadband industry incumbents may fear the entry by Google, Federal Communications Commission chairman Julius Genachowski welcomed the move, the Washington Post reported.
"Big broadband creates big opportunities," he said in a statement. "This significant trial will provide an American testbed for the next generation of innovative, high-speed internet apps, devices and services."

Gmail, Facebook accessible on cable TV!

There's good news for those who use cable television services. You can now check your mail, watch YouTube videos or connect with friends on Facebook at the regular cable subscription charge of Rs. 150-200 per month.

Logic Eastern, a Noida-based manufacturer of cable infrastructure, has developed special set-top boxes which come with an in-built patented hardware that enables connection to Gmail, Facebook and YouTube. The company has made possible two-way flow of data - from websites to cable operators to consumers and return by using the existing cellphone technology.

The company has installed large servers which download Gmail, YouTube and Facebook pages on behalf of its subscribers and pushes them on to their television screens. For now, consumers can access this service with a special remote control. However the company is developing a wi-fi keyboard that will be given along with the set-top boxes. Also, apart from the remote control, consumers can use their mobile phones to surf channels or access these websites.

Logic Eastern has already deployed 60,000 such set-top boxes across South Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Nagpur, Bhubaneswar and Jammu. The company has roped in ICICI as an investor. It has bought a 20 percent stake, which is helping Logic Eastern monetise these services that even existing Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) companies and the Direct-to-Home (DTH) operators have not been able to achieve.

"We believe it will be critical for cable operators to differentiate their services by leveraging the massive bandwidth that their cables take to each home. This is something that even DTH cannot do," says Vineet Wadhwa, Chief Technology Officer and Promoter of Logic Eastern. Instead of value-added services, the company prefers to call them 'enhanced services.' But how safe is accessing your email via cable? It is as safe as logging on to the internet on your home computer or laptop, says Wadhwa”.

वॉयस ओवर इंटरनेट प्रोटोकॉल

वॉयस ओवर इंटरनेट प्रोटोकॉल कंप्यूटर द्वारा संचार का एक तुल्यकालिक कॉन्फ्रेन्सिंग साधन है। इसका प्रयोग प्रसारण तकनीक के लिए किया जाता है। इस तकनीक में ध्वनि संचार अंतर्जाल (वॉयस कम्युनिकेशन इंटरनेट) या पैकेट स्विच नेटवर्क के माध्यम से किया जाता है। प्रायः इंटरनेट टेलीफोनी, आईपीटेलीफोनी को वीओईपी के समानरूप में प्रयोग किया जाता है। यदि इंटरनेट ब्रॉडबैंड नेटवर्क के माध्यम से चल रहा है, तो इसे ब्रॉडबैंड टेलीफोनी व ब्रॉडबैंड फोन कहते हैं। यह सेवा अन्य समानांतर सेवाओं से अपेक्षाकृत सस्ती होती है। यह दूरभाष सेवा आईपीटीवी सेवा के संग भी मिलती है। यह सेवा मोबाइल सेवा से भी सस्ती होती है, और इंटरनेट पर तो इसे मुफ्त भी प्रयोग किया जा सकता है।

लाभ

वीओआईपी संचार और अवसंरचना की कीमत कम कर देता है। यह वाणी पाठ संपीड़न यानि स्पीच डाटा कंप्रेशन तकनीक का प्रयोग करता है, जिसके कारण यह डाटा रेट कम करता है। वीओआईपी का डुप्लीकेट नेटवर्क सिस्टम बनाना सरल नहीं है, इस कारण इसकी टैपिंग आदि का खतरा नहीं है। एक ब्रॉडबैंड कनेक्शन पर एक ही समय में एक से ज्यादा टेलीफोन कॉल को प्रसारित कर सकते हैं। इससे वीओआईपी के रूप में आपको अतिरिक्त टेलीफोन लाइन मिल जाती है। यानि कम लाइनों में ही अधिक संचार सुविधा। इस सेवा को दूसरी सेवाओं के साथ जोड़कर देखा जा सकता है जैसे वीडियो संदेश आदान-प्रदान, मैसेज, डाटा संचिका अंतरण, ऑडियो कॉन्फ्रेंसिंग आदि भी कर सकते हैं। इस सेवा में एडवांस टेलीफोनी फीचर जैसे कॉल रूटिंग, स्क्रीन पॉप और आईवीआर की सुविधा उपलब्ध होती है। जहां आम टेलीफोन सीधे टेलीफोन कंपनी की फोन लाइन से जुड़े होते हैं जो प्रायः कई कारणों से बेकार हो जाते हैं, तो वहीं वीओईपी सीधे सर्वर रूटर से जुड़े होते हैं, जिसकी वजह से उनकी खराब होने की संभावना कम होती है। नेटवर्क व्यस्त रहने जैसी शिकायत आईपी नेटवर्क में सामान्यत: नहीं होती। अतः यह लंबी दूरी की कॉल करने का प्रभावी तरीका है।

Portable Document Format (PDF)

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. PDF is used for representing two-dimensional documents in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout 2D document (and, with Acrobat 3D, embedded 3D documents) that includes the text, fonts, images, and 2D vector graphics which compose the documents.
Adobe Systems co-founder John Warnock outlined a system called "Camelot", that evolved into the Portable Document Format (PDF) file-format.
Formerly a proprietary format, PDF was officially released as an open standard on July 1, 2008, and published by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO/IEC 32000-1:2008.

Yottabyte

A yottabyte (derived from the SI prefix yotta-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one septillion (one long scale quadrillion or 1024) bytes. It is commonly abbreviated YB. As of 2009, no computer has yet achieved one yottabyte of storage. In fact, the combined space of all the computer hard drives in the world does not amount to even one zettabyte. According to one study, all the world's computers stored approximately 160 exabytes in 2006. As of 2009 the entire internet was estimated to contain close to 500 exabytes.
When used with byte multiples, the SI prefix indicates a power of 1,000:

• 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes — 1000⁸, or 10²⁴

The term "yobibyte" (YiB), using a binary prefix, is used for the corresponding multiple of 1024

TOP500

The TOP500 project ranks and details the 500 most powerful known computer systems in the world. The project was started in 1993 and publishes an updated list of the supercomputers twice a year. The project aims to provide a reliable basis for tracking and detecting trends in high-performance computing and bases rankings on HPL, a portable implementation of the High-Performance LINPACK benchmark for distributed-memory computers.
The TOP500 list is compiled by Hans Meuer of the University of Mannheim, Germany, Jack Dongarra of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Erich Strohmaier and Horst Simon of NERSC/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
The list is updated twice a year. The first of these updates always coincides with the International Supercomputer Conference in June, the second one is presented in November at the IEEE Super Computer Conference in the USA.
