At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength.

                                                                           Jawaharlal Nehru

Mother, I bow to thee! Rich with thy hurrying streams, Bright with orchard gleams, Cool with thy winds of delight, Green fields waving , Mother of might, Mother free. Glory of moonlight dreams, Over thy branches and lordly streams, Clad in thy blossoming trees, Mother, giver of ease, Laughing low and sweet! Mother I kiss thy feet, Speaker sweet and low! Mother, to thee I bow.
                                              Bankim Chandra Chaterjee

One individual may die for an idea; but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives. That is how the wheel of evolution moves on and the ideas and dreams of one nation are bequeathed to the next
                                          Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose

Our nation is like a tree of which the original trunk is swarajya and the branches are swadeshi and boycott.
                                                     Bal Gangadhar Tilak

Apparently, I’ve acted like a terrorist. But I’m not a terrorist.
                                                             Bhagat Singh

The essential thing in religion is making the heart pure. The kingdom of heaven is within us but only pure heart can see the ‘king’ !’

Recently a tool has been presented in Defcon hackers’ conference in Las Vegas, that automatically steals the IDs of non encrypted sessions and this tool is very useful for breaking Gmail user ID. When Users login into Gmail account, Gmail Server sends Cookie (A text file) to your browser. This file helps Gmail server to know that you are authenticated. This Cookie will log-in you in for 2 week unless you press sign-out or delete the Cookie. Even though when you authenticated using SSL, after that you are also not secure because the result return by the Gmail server is unencrypted connection.

We have seen a lot of tools and technologies, to create websites easily, but all these tools require a PC at your disposal. When nearly everything from gaming to blogging is possible using your cellphone, why shouldn’t we have a tool to create websites too. So, Chennai based Akimin Technologies, decided to go one step further than the pack, by creating a tool to design websites while on the move. The service will be started this Independence Day onwards.

Akmin CEO Mr. Prasanth talked about the product with Times of India. According to him, this service will be free of cost. No technical knowledge will be required to use this tool. He also added that in current scenario, mobile phone market is far bigger than the PC segment. That’s why they came up with this brilliant idea.

According to the reports from TRAI, no. of users for GPRS enabled Handsets, is more than 65 million compared to only 14 million broadband users. Soon enough, this number will cross the 80 million mark, as IPhone is about to make an official entry in the Indian market. So, more of PC-specific applications will soon become available for mobile platform too, added Mr. Prasanth.

Speaking more about this application, he told TOI that, this application will require no downloads, and can be directly accessed at Mobisitegalore website. This means to start creating your own websites, you will just need a GPRS activated phone, and nothing else. To know more about the application, you can also visit www.mobisitegalore.com.
