Re: [AI] attention please
it looks to me that we are getting a bit carried away and leaving the real issue unattended. we are spending more energy in justifying the raising the issue but the search for the solution is somewhere looks to be lost. - Original Message - From: smriti singh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 6:47 PM Subject: [AI] attention please I totally agree with the article tara sir send. meethodology of the article is very cleaar we should not always think that condition in our country is great. because girls do not know about sexuality. in delhi, according to survey, 95 % visually challenged girls are unaware about usage of contraceptic or sexuality and the method of sexual exploitation. I have data of three states. with all the fascilities if Delhi Visually Challenged girls are in this condition, then you can imagine about other states. I don't believe that this issue should not be brought on accessindia, because, first, in a way, this is also concerned with accessibility rights. When you are aware about some situation, then only you can protect yourself and your friends from this kind of situation. Secondly, it is concerned with law and government policy, which accessindia allows to discuss. I would like to ask, can only the evolution of technology give us all the accessibility rights? should we be satisfied only with career discussions? Does not this kind of issue also come under government policy? It is very unfortunate that while discussing about this kind of issue, people have very insensitive atitude and somebody has called it love crime. For one minute, I agree with this respected person. But, if somebody is in love and that person is physically and emotionally exploited in an institution, is institution not responsible for it? Or is it also love crime? Secondly, in institutions for visually challenged girls, girls and boys are segregated very carefully. So there is less chance of falling in love. Those who have suggested about not bringing up this kind of issue in media, they should remember that, with possitivity, it is necessary to accept negativity also. Besides, I would like to tell that we cannot cover up this kind of issue in the fear that this will be problem for visually challenged girls, because crime of such institution will never come inlight if media is not involved. I totally agree that this could be problem for visually challenged girls in education, marriage and so on. But there is possitive aspect of it also. Girls will be told about sexuality and they will then be able to empower themselves like sighted girls to face the world. The real problem is that visually challenged girls generally do not think that they could be sexually harassed, because many of them, as I have already said, do not know about sexuality, and here lies the key difference between the harassment of sighted girls and that of the visually challenged girls.

I also regret the sad demise. may the soul of the dear departed rest in peace. - Original Message - From: Col. Pradeep Kapoor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 12:53 AM Subject: [AI] Bad News Dear Friends, This mail is to inform you of the sad demise of Prof Vinod Sena, at New Delhi on 10 Dec 06. He succumbed to a cardiac arrest. Prof Sena was visually challenged himself, while working for the blind on issues he felt were important. He ran an NGO - Shruti, which focusses on aspects affecting access to higher education for the Print disabled. He helped to highlight issues like books for the blind corresponding benefits from modifications to the Copyright laws. He was instrumental in establishing the first computer facility for the Blind at Delhi University. He had also established a web site for the Blind. Recently, on 2 Dec, he had been honoured with the Hellen Keller award. with best wishes yours sincerely Col P Kapoor General Secy.

[AI] PSC to receive applications online
PSC to receive applications online Staff Reporter K.V. Salahuddin, PSC Chairman, says the new system will come into effect on January 27. KOZHIKODE: The Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) will start receiving online applications for posts on its website from January 27. Announcing this at a press conference here on Tuesday, Commission Chairman K.V. Salahuddin said the trial run was started on Tuesday. As of now, the applicants could visit the website, www.keralapsc.org and click at the link `online application' and fill in the details. The applications are invited for the `imaginary post' now and hence the data entered here for the time being would not be considered for recruitment purpose. The online applications were mainly targeted at Keralites based in Gulf countries and other parts of the country. Responding to a query, Mr. Salahuddin said the Commission was yet to think of online examinations. The Commission received on an average 25 lakh applications and nearly 22 lakh candidates took PSC examinations every year. The Commission was going through a transformation, Mr. Salahuddin said. Efforts were on to cut short the time span for selection of candidates to Government posts by six months. On mistakes Asked about mistakes cropping up in question papers for PSC examinations, Mr. Salahuddin said that now candidates could send in their complaints regarding the questions within 15 days of the publishing of the answer keys. The PSC will examine even anonymous letters, he said. Mr. Salahuddin said action had been initiated against a couple of persons who were found to have copied questions from guides for setting the PSC question paper. R.S. Panicker, PSC member, was present at the press conference. He said the Commission was celebrating its 50 years of existence this year. The PSC would organise a symposium on `Public Service Commission and Kerala Society' in Kozhikode on December 16, as part of the golden jubilee celebrations. Industries Minister Elamaram Karim would inaugurate the symposium. PSC member N. Ananthakrishnan would introduce the topic for the symposium on the occasion.

[AI] Dell Adds Blu-ray to Laptop Options
Dell Adds Blu-ray to Laptop Options Dec 13, 2006 Dell today added Blu-ray disc capability to its notebook PC line, making an effort to compete with Sony and Toshiba in the growing market for mobile high-definition video platforms. In addition to showing high-end movies and games, Dell's XPS M1710 notebook could serve as a central node to support digital entertainment throughout the home, the company said. Customers can save 50G bytes of either data or video on a single Blu-ray disc. The ability to read and write data to the discs differentiates Blu-ray from HD-DVD, the competing standard for high-definition video, analysts said. Laptops with HD-DVD capability have lower prices but cannot save data to the discs, said Samir Bhavnani, research director at Current Analysis. You are starting to see the different camps emerge within the computing companies, with Toshiba and Acer on the HD-DVD side and Sony and Dell on the Blu-ray side, he said. Sony's Vaio VGN-AR270 uses Blu-ray discs, while Acer's notebook and Toshiba's Qosmio G35-AV650 use HD-DVD. are improvements over standard DVD optical discs; they hold more data and let users watch high-definition video. All three techniques are optical discs, storing data in a binary form that is read by a scanning laser. But a Blu-ray disc can hold five times the capacity of a dual-layer DVD, Dell said. Movie studios and video game producers are eager to sell films on the new media, but the flow of new titles is only a trickle so far because content providers and hardware vendors can't decide which standard will prevail. Pricing starts at $3,699 for the XPS M1710, including an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4 gigabytes of memory and up to 160GB of storage on a serial ATA hard drive. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,128148-pg,1/article.html Vikas Kapoor, MSN ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype ID: dl_vikas Mobile: (+91) 9891098137.

[AI] Phase' Memory Beats Flash
Phase' Memory Beats Flash Dec 13, 2006 Flash memory and hard-disk drives could face a challenge from a new chip technology, dubbed phase-change memory, being developed by a group of companies led by IBM. The companies today announced results of their latest research into the technology, which they say does a better job of storing songs, pictures and other data on iPods and digital cameras than current flash memory , and could someday replace disk drives . The companies have built a prototype device that runs 500 times faster than today's flash memory while using half as much power to write data to a memory cell, they said. The circuits on the device are much smaller than those on today's flash chips, measuring just 3 by 20 nanometers (a nanometer is a billionth of a meter). The developers expect that, unlike flash, phase-change memory will be suitable for production on the advanced manufacturing techniques targeted for use in 2015. The progress came partly from the development of a new material to build the memory chips, a germanium alloy to which the researchers added other elements to enhance its properties. The companies have applied for a patent for the material, they said. Besides IBM, the developers include Qimonda, the DRAM spin-off from Infineon Technologies; and Taiwan's Macronix. They plan to discuss their findings at the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineer's 2006 International Electron Devices Meeting in San Francisco later this week. It's the kind of breakthrough that people look forward to in the technology industry, although end users will have to be patient before it finds its way into products. It could take several more years for the technology to be developed sufficiently for use in finished products. Still, phase-change memory appears promising. The chips would be a new type of non-volatile memory, which is memory that can hold its electrical charge--and its data--after devices are turned off. Flash is also non-volatile, but phase-change memory can hold its electrical charge better than flash and use it more efficiently, its backers say. Flash also faces a roadblock in the future. As engineers make chip circuits even smaller, the circuits leak more power and ultimately lose their capability to store data after being turned off. The size limit appears to be around 45 nm, although it will still be years before the flash industry starts using such tiny production technologies. Phase-change memory can be scaled down to 22 nm, or far smaller than flash memory, the researchers developing it say. It also appears able to be more durable than flash, whose memory cells start to break down after 100,000 rewrites. Challenges Remain While its prospects appear bright, the technology faces several hurdles. New chip designs must be relatively easy to manufacture, and they need to be cost-effective enough to attract device makers. Rambus faced this issue when its chips failed to overtake DRAM as the main memory type for PCs several years ago, despite having the backing of Intel. The problem, some companies said, is that the RDRAM chips were too costly to produce--although Rambus vehemently disagrees with this. IBM has also posted animation clips of the phase-change devices. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,128131-pg,1/article.html Vikas Kapoor, MSN ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype ID: dl_vikas Mobile: (+91) 9891098137.

His efforts to run a e periodical for the blind were fraught with numerous pecuniary and other problems but were also accompanied by his indomitable courage. I deeply mourn his absence [from our immediate and direct perception.] Rajesh - Original Message - From: pamnani [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 4:02 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Bad News I am shocked. The last mail I received from Prof. Sena was on 8 December - not even a week ago and now he is gone. During the last one year he has been guiding us about the copyright problem. He had shared all his information and introduced us to all concerned which allowed us not to reinvent the wheel. For those who dont know, Prof. Sena had made the first and only presentation to the Parliamentary Committee about our copyright problems and requirements. I am going to personally miss the knowledge, guidance and support that he used to give us over mail and telephone and which we would have needed as we go into the crucial phase of the copyright issues. Sad loss indeed and bad timing. Kanchan - Original Message - From: Col. Pradeep Kapoor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 00:53 Subject: [AI] Bad News Dear Friends, This mail is to inform you of the sad demise of Prof Vinod Sena, at New Delhi on 10 Dec 06. He succumbed to a cardiac arrest. Prof Sena was visually challenged himself, while working for the blind on issues he felt were important. He ran an NGO - Shruti, which focusses on aspects affecting access to higher education for the Print disabled. He helped to highlight issues like books for the blind corresponding benefits from modifications to the Copyright laws. He was instrumental in establishing the first computer facility for the Blind at Delhi University. He had also established a web site for the Blind. Recently, on 2 Dec, he had been honoured with the Hellen Keller award. with best wishes yours sincerely Col P Kapoor General Secy.
