New browser combines web search with Facebook

AP A screenshot of a Facebook page. File Photo

A new internet browser that requires a Facebook log-in has been
unveiled, aimed squarely at social networking users.

Called RockMelt, it has been set up by Marc Andreessen, the founder of Netscape.

Based on Google’s Chromium software, Rockmelt is designed to let users
share everything they do with the friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Down the side of each web page visited is a selection of each user’s
most-used Facebook Friends and Twitter contacts, reports the Daily
Mail.

A statement on the firm’s blog read: “With RockMelt, we’ve re-thought
the user experience, because a browser can and should be about more
than simply navigating Web pages.

“Today, the browser connects you to your world. Why not build your
world right into your browser?”

The browser makes it particularly easy to share links with friends by
dragging pictures, URLs or videos onto one of the small photos, known
as ‘edges’ that line the browser’s window.

Because you have to sign in before using Rockmelt, all of your
favourite sites, blogs and friends are listed when you log in.

The browser alerts you when a new story, video, or post appears on the
sites you visit the most, without you having to leave the webpage you
are currently on.

However, the fact that a user’s entire web search history, friends and
favourite sites are known by RockMelt, will alarm those wary of
handing over personal information to tech firms.

The firm claims that this browsing information will not be sold to advertisers.

“We are not going to run an ad network. We actually don’t know where
you go,” co-founder Tim Howes told website TechCrunch. “That
information does not leave your browser.”

The way you search on the internet is also different with RockMelt.
Instead of a whole page of search results from Google, only the first
10 results come up, displaying the web page of each result before you
click on it.

Dear All,

I don't really know very much about education for the blind
in India, but I am currently with the Mathru School in Bangalore. We have mostly
residential students from 1st standard through 10th
standard, as well as college students who go to the nearby government school,
but who stay here and receive study help etc. I've only been here for a short
time, but from what I can tell, the students are well-taken-care-of and receive
a good education. They are reading Braille, using the slate, and they have a
pretty good grasp of Jaws and the Microsoft programs. They have not, however,
been introduced to the internet, which is one thing I am working on. They go to
the park for physical exercise every afternoon. I heard that some of the
students play cricket, but I haven't yet seen this. Daily, they do yoga, pray,
and sing or play an instrument. I have not yet attended an art lesson, so I 
can't
comment on this, but I'm looking forward to it. The teachers are really
qualified, accomplished and dedicated. Our principal has a great attitude
towards the independence and success of blind people, and she really does a 
great
job managing the school. In their turn, the students are generally respectful,
friendly, and willing to learn. Naturally, however, some are stronger than
others, and some are more willing to study and work hard. 

 

I don't have much with which to compare this school, but if
I had a blind child, I would not mind sending her here. Please feel free to ask
me any questions. This is an interesting discussion for me as someone from
America, where things are pretty different.

 

Steven

[AI] Opening the doors to the differently-abled

2010-11-09 Thread saravanan.ramadoss1


Opening the doors to the differently-abled



'Opportunity Network for the Disabled' is a new initiative aimed at 
mainstreaming the differently-abled by facilitating employment in different 
sectors


Photo: R. Ragu

Tapping the potential: Candidates at an employability Fair. With good 
training, the disabled can create value for employers.

Employing the differently-abled can be more productive for business. That is 
the goal of a new initiative that aims to reach out to one lakh 
differently-abled
students spread across eight states in the next five years.

Non-profit organisation Wadhwani Foundation has entered into a partnership 
with the American India Foundation (AIF) to train and place persons with 
disability
through AIF's Market Aligned Skills Training Programme.

Opportunity

According to Ajay Kela, president and CEO, Wadhwani Foundation, five to six 
per cent of the population is differently-abled and their representation in
corporate India is less than 0.5 per cent.

'Opportunity Network for the Disabled' is a new initiative where persons 
with disability would be given skill training programme such that it helps 
them
get sustainable high quality jobs, said Mr. Kela. While AIF would identify 
and train potential candidates, the Wadhwani Foundation is connecting with 
corporates
in various sectors to employ the skilled.

Options

Retail, hospitality, BPO, IT, ITeS and infrastructure management are some of 
the potential sectors. Candidates who have completed class X or XII would be
chosen for the programme where training would be offered depending on the 
level of disability - hearing impaired, visually challenged, physically 
challenged
- to be employed in a sector. Nearly 5,000 people have been enrolled for the 
pilot programme, which would be extended every quarter.

Mr. Kela also pointed out that the level of attrition is less when people 
with disability are employed.

As the programme scales up, the foundation is also planning to create a 
social networking site to enable potential candidates log in and register 
with their
requirements.

 IDBI did not check it properly?

 Importantly this happend after i met them and submitted the

 it might be co-incidental but certainly raises doubts in mind.

 I do not have much time to raise the issue or else i would have fought

Re: [AI] help me to purchous an i pot

2010-11-09 Thread Laz Mesa
And, a very warm hello to you.

iTunes is a music management software program created by Apple, which
is required for doing anything on an iPod.

It is used to synch your music files to your player and for just about
anything you might want to do with your player.  One cannot just copy
and paste files onto an iPod, one has to go through iTunes, as the
iPods do not show up as removable drives on your computer.

If one has an iPod, one can use iTunes to purchase media such as
music, audiobooks, etc.  If one has an iPod Touch, iPad, or an iPhone,
one can use the iTunes store to also purchase applications for use on
ones device.

I have heard of these devices being referred to as purchase delivery
devices, as one is supposed to solely use iTunes for purchasing ones
content, which makes Apple billions of dollars a year.  In my opinion,
these devices are way overpriced, and Apple should just give these
devices away.  They would make more money in the end through iTunes.

There is a percentage of blind/vision-impaired people who find iTunes
inaccessible and so pay $75 for specialized scripts for JAWS so that
they can then use iTunes and their iPods.  There are others who do not
find a need to use these expensive scripts, as they find iTunes
accessible enough to use.  It depends on the user.

If one can get past any of its accessibility faults, iTunes is usable.

Regards,

Laz

 I don't really know very much about education for the blind in India, 
 but I am currently with the Mathru School in Bangalore. We have mostly
 residential students from 1st standard through 10th
 standard, as well as college students who go to the nearby government 
 school,
 but who stay here and receive study help etc. I've only been here for
a 
 short
 time, but from what I can tell, the students are well-taken-care-of
and 
 receive
 a good education. They are reading Braille, using the slate, and they
have 
 a
 pretty good grasp of Jaws and the Microsoft programs. They have not, 
 however,
 been introduced to the internet, which is one thing I am working on.
They 
 go to
 the park for physical exercise every afternoon. I heard that some of
the
 students play cricket, but I haven't yet seen this. Daily, they do
yoga, 
 pray,
 and sing or play an instrument. I have not yet attended an art lesson,
so 
 I can't
 comment on this, but I'm looking forward to it. The teachers are
really
 qualified, accomplished and dedicated. Our principal has a great
attitude
 towards the independence and success of blind people, and she really
does 
 a great
 job managing the school. In their turn, the students are generally 
 respectful,
 friendly, and willing to learn. Naturally, however, some are stronger
than
 others, and some are more willing to study and work hard.



 I don't have much with which to compare this school, but if
 I had a blind child, I would not mind sending her here. Please feel
free 
 to ask
 me any questions. This is an interesting discussion for me as someone
from
 America, where things are pretty different.

2010-11-09 Thread Amar Jain

Austin The Great,
In my knowledge nuance does not provide you with the colour recognition 
software.
The option available for you is to go with the colour recognizer provided by 
code factory, for which you can obtain 30 days trial lisence.
There is another product available free of cost I think from seeingwithsound 
or some brother of it! but not sure. Contact Pranav Lal sir.
Enjoy Colour Recognizing! And oh yes, do drop me a feedback mail on the 
performance of codefactory colour recognizer if you decide to give it a try 
please?

Regards
Amar Jain.
