How safe are Indian kids online?

Jay Pathak — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 06:32:17 +0000

McAfee and Synovate jointly conducted a survey called “ How safe are Indian kids online?” across 10 cities- New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Ludhiana, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Cochin, covering 500 children and 496 parents.

Anindita Mishra- McAfee Cybermum India,Said

These findings are extremely relevant from the perspective of Indian parents. As the internet evolves into a new platform for self expression and social interaction, children are indiscriminately indulging in information exchange leading to an increasing rate of cyber exploits. The introduction of technologies like McAfee Family Protection is a step in the right direction as it enables us parents to understand, handhold and mould our children’s online persona and behavior.

Venkat Krishnapur, Senior Director, McAfee India, Said

Online concerns for tweens and teens are not what they were two years ago. The threat landscape has changed dramatically – especially in the context of how children of various ages in urban India use the internet and how they are exposed to various forms of threats online. McAfee Family Protection is a powerful tool that helps parents get better insight to the digital lifestyles of their children. Parents can choose to block categories of sites, filter out only a handful of sites, or block nothing at all and simply review online activity reports. Its innovative features such as online activity reports, age appropriate settings and YouTube, games and website blocking and so on gives Indian parents a powerful tool to ensure their kids stay safe when using the Internet.

Jay Pathak — Mon, 16 May 2011 04:35:24 +0000

Alphabets are building block of any language. Earlier when we started learning English, learned A for Apple, B for Ball , C for Cat and so on. As now a days technology became a very important part in our day to day life and technology companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple become a part of our day to day life.

Jatin Sapra (http://about.me/jatinsapra) has created a alphabet chart (A-Z), that relates to name of technology companies.

Surprisingly M for Microsoft is missing is this chart.

10 things to learn from Japan

Jay Pathak — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 01:23:00 +0000

THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.
THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.
THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.
THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.
THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?
THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak
THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.
THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.
THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly

URL Shortening Services Compared

Jay Pathak — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 01:41:17 +0000

Royal Pingdom Blog compared the performance and Reliability of various url shortening services including goo.gl, Bit.ly, Is.gd, TinyURL, Ow.ly, Snipurl and Twurl. Royal Pingdom comparison were primarily concerned with the reliability and performance of shortened URLs. How much overhead do the different URL shorteners add, and do they always work?

Performance overhead

The overhead that an URL shortener adds is that, instead of going directly to a site, you first have to ask the servers of the URL shortening service where to go, and they will redirect you to the actual target site.

Goo.gl is almost 3x faster than Bit.ly .
The only place Goo.gl was beat was in Europe, where Is.gd actually managed to inch just ahead of it in terms of performance.

Reliability

It doesn’t matter how fast a URL shortener is if it’s broken. That’s why we thought it was relevant to also show the reliability of the included services here

Forwarding reliability for URL shorteners, October 12 – October 27, 2010

URL Shortener	Uptime	Estimated downtime in a year (hours)
Goo.gl	100.00%	0.0
Bit.ly	100.00%	0.0
Is.gd	99.99%	0.9
TinyURL	99.95%	4.4
Ow.ly	99.95%	4.4
Snipurl	99.52%	42.0
Twurl	99.29%	62.2

Apple and Dell Notebook and Desktop Comparison

Ajay Pathak — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 01:56:52 +0000

Dell has published a chat comparing Dell Studio Notebooks with Apple MacBook Pro Notebooks and Dell Desktop products with Apple Desktop Products.

Bob O’Donnell, an analyst at IDC Said,

This is a classic Apple story,A pretty stark comparison, but it’s been true for a long time. A lot of the mainstream notebooks these days are being sold for $500 or $600. Yet the cheapest MacBook is $999. It’s not uncommon to see 50 percent price deltas. Their share of the PC market–about 5 percent–hasn’t changed dramatically. On the other hand, you can show that Apple pretty much owns the consumer retail laptop market over $1,200. That’s the reason their stock has done so well, and the reason that they’re so profitable. They’ve carved out a very nice niche at the high end

Dell and Apple Desktop Products Comparison

Dell has also published a comparison between Windows Live Essentials and Apple iLife.
