Brain Battle of Kurukshetra beginning in Feb 2012


Brain Battle Kurukshetra, the international techno-management fest, is all set to roll out its sixth edition from February 1-4, 2012. Kurukshetra is a modern day "Knowledge Warfare" with gargantuan student participation. Kurukshetra has redefined the way techno-management fests are organized by corralling 20,000+ delegates spread over 80+ countries. The four-day event is primarily focused on providing a challenging platform for the intellectual brains from all over the world to exhibit their talents and new ideas.
Based on the theme ‘Science and Technology for the Common Man’, we conduct an array of competitive events, informative and practical workshops and illuminating guest lectures. Organized by the pragmatic student community of College of Engineering, Guindy, Anna University, Chennai, Kurukshetra possesses a rare reputation – being the first ever student-organized fest to be granted the prestigious UNESCO patronage. Our gracious sponsors have ensured that we  the talented brains with total prize money of 1 million INR.
Guest lectures by industry veterans have been a regular feature in all the editions of Kurukshetra. This year they promise to be an enlightening experience with talks by Dr. Vic Hayes, inventor of Wi-Fi, Dr. Harold Kroto, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Dr. Steven Goldsard, Scientist at CERN, P.S. Veeraraghavan, Director of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre and talks by several other eminent technologists and scientists. Another main feature of K! is "Virtual Participation". This programme facilitated relaying of inspiring and thought provoking lectures of the top brass in the engineering, academic and management realm through live video streaming.
Learning is not a spectator sport. And the hands on workshops at Kurukshetra redefine the way you perceive every phenomenon by making the learning process spicy and convivial with 12 workshops this year. Energy Auditing is one of its kind workshop where the participants are taught on the means of identifying and monitoring the flow of energy and pin pointing the areas of energy wastage. For the thirsty photographers yet to conquer the beauty of space, we conduct Astro photography where you can focus your DSLR’s, make forays into the silent night and capture scintillating images. For those wannabe web designers, we have the Scalable Vector Graphics workshop at the end of which you might be in a position to create attractive websites with 3D elements.

Kurukshetra has more than 45 events covering almost all branches of engineering. Programming events like Kode Multus and Heptathlon test both the algorithmic and syntactic skills of the contestants in various computer languages. These events are a race against computer time, eventually culminating into a contest of the astute minds. Events like Godspeed, Contraptions, Aero Modelling and Mega structures stand testimony to how the participants put the engineering part of their brains to use. Electro-Warriors is an event for electronics and electrical freaks. Quizzes like K!Open Quiz, Sci-Tech Quiz and Corporate-Biz- Quiz relating to various branches of engineering put an impetus to the stimuli of the quiz lovers to buzz out with answers.
Robotics events as in every other edition will be the highlight this year too with lucrative cash prizes. We wanted to provide a platform where you can build, test and even fight another robot tooth and nail, and events like Robo Wars, K!onstructor and K!ck were born. We again went one step further with XCEED, the nationwide Robotics, Quizzing and Coding championship, where we go in pursuit of the best brains of the country and showcase the grandeur of Kurukshetra outside the walls of CEG.
The event, which has transcended geopolitical boundaries to bridge the knowledge gap by reaching out to the participants across the country, will be conducted this time in four cities - Bangalore, Hyderabad, Thanjavur and Coimbatore.The cornucopia of the events thus makes Kurukshetra a major fest to look forward to in the calendar of any student, with the promise of tremendous amounts of fun, cash prizes and learning

Ways to make Pen Drive Bootable.


When we are going to install any OS, lot of times we are facing problem to CD/DVD R/W not read the CD/DVD’s. So, we choose that time the option to make our pen drive bootable. It is very easy and cheap method to install any OS.
1. How To Boot From A USB Flash Drive?
2. How to Install Windows 7 From a USB Flash Drive or USB Hard Drive?
3. How To Create Bootable Windows 7, Vista, or XP USB Flash/Pen Drive Quickly?

Let me explain lot of ways to make pen drive bootable:-

A.
Requirements to create bootable Windows USB.
# Windows 7 or Vista ISO
# Pen drive with 4GB+ (2 GB is sufficient for XP)

Procedure:

1. Insert your USB flash/pen drive to your system and backup all the data from the USB as your USB drive will be formatted during the process.

2. Now download WinToFlash tool (free) from here.
 
3. Run the tool, and browse to your Windows 7, Vista, or XP DVD files (make sure that your USB drive letter is correct).

"WinToFlash starts a wizard that will help pull over the contents of a windows installation CD or DVD and prep the USB drive to become a bootable replacement for the optical drive. It can also do this with your LiveCD.

You don't have to worry about scratches on the disc or misplacing your original media discs once you transfer their contents to the flash drive. The optical drive is quickly becoming a thing of the past, especially in office environments, as media is shifted to the cloud."

4. Click Create button to begin the bootable USB process. Wait for few minutes to see the bootable USB.
                                                        Video to make Pen Drive Bootable


B. Manually Create Your Pendrive Bootable
Here we assume that you are using either Vista or Windows 7 to create a bootable USB.
1. Insert your USB (4GB+ preferable) stick to the system and backup all the data from the USB as we are going to format the USB to make it as bootable.

2. Open elevated Command Prompt. To do this, type in CMD in Start menu search field and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Alternatively, navigate to Start > All programs >Accessories > right click on Command Prompt and select run as administrator.

3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following command:
DISKPART and hit enter.
LIST DISK and hit enter.
Once you enter the LIST DISK command, it will show the disk number of your USB drive. In the below image my USB drive disk no is Disk 1.

4.
In this step you need to enter all the below commands one by one and hit enter. As these commands are self explanatory, you can easily guess what these commands do.

SELECT DISK 1 (Replace DISK 1 with your disk number)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Format process may take few seconds)
ASSIGN

EXIT 
Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.

5.
Insert your Windows DVD in the optical drive and note down the drive letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I use “D” as my optical (DVD) drive letter and “G” as my USB drive letter.

6. Go back to command prompt and execute the following commands:
6.1. Change directory to the DVD’s boot directory where bootsect lives:
d:
cd d:\boot


6.2. Use bootsect to set the USB as a bootable NTFS drive prepared for a Vista/7 image. I’m assuming that your USB flash drive has been labeled disk G:\ by the computer:
bootsect /nt60 g: 


(Where “G” is your USB drive letter)

7. Copy Windows DVD contents to USB.
You are done with your bootable USB. You can now use this bootable USB as bootable DVD on any computer that comes with USB boot feature (most of the current motherboards support this feature). 


Delhi Court issued summons to 21websites on 23rd Dec.

Just seeing a small flat tag, that Micro UDP chip invented by Deonet. Manufacturers are fond of playing with claims that their product was the smallest or the biggest in the market. Deonet could easily win the claims for the smallest USB stick in the world, how? They introduced as  19.5 x 14.5 x 2.9 millimeters Golden USB stick that comes in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB storage capacities.

That incredible size completed through a “Micro UDP chip (where UDP stands for the USB Disk In Package assembly process, which sees the controller, flash IC, substrate and passive components molded into a very small, single package), which everything else into a tiny chip that is less than half the size of the current, more common chips used in USB sticks.

The drive uses a new kind of memory chip for USB sticks, called a Micro UDP chip, which smushes (technical term) the controller, flash IC, and Till now the price is still in secrecy but the world’s smallest drive should be available early in coming January 2012.


Microsoft will release Office-15 Beta in Jan 2012.


This is the latest news of Microsoft  is about Microsoft office package 15. Before this edition Microsoft office 14  and that’s why this edition called as “Microsoft office 15” package. This latest Microsoft 15 office package will name the year 2012 when it will release.

When office package 15 release? Most of the people have aware about this. Microsoft said that, they release a new office package in 2.5 years time to time. So this package should release before December 2012 and should be named as Microsoft office 2012. But if they couldn’t release this in year 2012 and if it transfer to 2013 they won’t name this as Microsoft office 2013 because 13 is kind of bad digit. So if it transfers to 2013 this 15th office package will name as “Microsoft Office 2014”.

Microsoft office package starts to develop before year 2010 (Before release 2010 officepackage). Some tips about 15 office package is basically this has the same features of 2010 office package, the Ribbon interface it keep it as it is but there will be more feature on the office interfaces. Microsoft never publish their facts to the public before the beta version but some leaked information are the interface will contain more features, a secret application called “Microsoft Lime” will release with this package, also more importantly there will be a mobile version of Microsoft office package 15 and it contains the touch screen facility, working with GPS facility and many more. So office package 15 will be more focus on the mobile computing tasks.

Firefox with Google upto 2014 ends.


Good to know that Firefox lives-at least for three more years apprx 2014 ends. News announced on Tuesday by Mozilla Official Blog that it and Google have agreed to renew an agreement that makes Google the default search engine in the Firefox browser.

“We’re pleased to announce that we have negotiated a significant and mutually beneficial revenue agreement with Google,” Mozilla announced in a company blog. The agreement extends the relationship between the two companies, but the blog post did not go into depth about the details of the extension.

There had been some speculation over whether Google, which has seen an amazing amount of success with its Chrome browser, would agree to renew the deal with its rival. Mozilla revealed in earnings reports that it makes 84 percent of its revenue from the agreement with Google. All Firefox fans grew restless when the November deadline for renewal came and went without a peep from either company.

Procter & Gamble partnership with Mobeam to deliver coupons on phone.


It’s very good to hear that two name fame companies are support to make deliver coupons on phone which will work as mobile scannable. The concept is like the mobile coupon code will scan with the laser scanners which will redeem the coupons for many retailers and help the customers to give the discount at any transaction at the time of payments. At next, both partners are hoping to work with OEMs to integrate the tech into new phones and will push out an app to take advantage of it and begin field testing the process with shoppers and retailers sometime in 2012.

Once it kicks off, any company should be able to issue digital coupons; those who choose to partner with mobeam, however, will have access to opted-in consumer information that tracks which couponing websites the consumer visits, the location and time each coupon is redeemed and other items purchased using the app.


Another level of view, previous fashion of coupon clippers will not completely dead it can be redeemed through newspaper inserts or print them out. We are sure that the concept of mobile couponing grows to a point where more and more trees are getting saved.

Writing Style of Blog..

I think everyone who launches a blog wants to see traffic right away. If you have completed full  research you will see that that unless you buy a blog from someone which is already established it takes time and patience to really get your blog at top visible level. When you insert the image in the blog, you should always give the identity (tagged). Its function is to provide a keyword in the image and will make it easier for visitors to find our blog on a search image or images such as the Google image search.
A blog is like any other website, it requires a great deal of marketing efforts to really see traffic building. There are lot of various aspects who can proceed to speed up the process but you have to be very active.

1. Appearance: You don’t want your blog to look like everyone elses. I’m not saying to spend your whole budget on design but a little customization will decrease your bounce rate and get people to stay longer and read more.
2. Write Something: You have to write almost everyday, write anything. Even if your post can only be some sentences long just write as much as possible because this is who you will increase your odds of traffic coming into your blog through various blog posts. A blog is a journal so feed it with as much content as possible.
3. Use Photos: Putting a photo with each blog post will keep visiting. Nobody wants to just look at text, it just is not that much fun to look at. Putting images will get web traffic coming in from image search as well as long as you put an image tag.
4. Coding: This is a very simple change that can be done that will change the way your blog post index greatly. By changing the setting for your blog post titles so that instead of the url for that blog post being a series of numbers to the actual title of the blog post will allow your blog post to rank much better with in the search engines. You can then implement the use of some popular keywords strategically into the titles of your posts.
5. Links: Search online for a list of the top blog directories and get your blog listed in all the top blog directories. This will not only help by building more ways to your blog but the links left behind in the directories will aid in your link building strategy. Remember you must build up your quality one way links to your blog in order to get it ranking for your chosen audience and keywords.

Will So.cl give new way to learn for Students ?

In meanwhile time, Microsoft go to groom up lot of various unique products in market where there are too many social networking sites out there on the Internet and you have an account on each of them and it’s getting more difficult to remember their passwords. Welcome So.cl to the list of social networking websites. Microsoft has just launched a social network, which aimed at students all around the world.

You can view up So.cl a social learning network where students from lot of different-2 universities can share their knowledge and information with everyone and social networking at same time. So.cl provides rich media sharing, and real time sharing of videos via “video parties.

Feature of ‘Video Party’ is quite similar to Google+ hangouts.

There are lot of  things which are yet to be revealed and everyone’s eagerly waiting to get hands on with the social search site.

Mircosoft
 knows it’s very difficult to compete with the other gaint social networking sites – Facebook and Twitter, that’s why the research team behind the new social network has clearly mentioned that ‘It’s not meant to be a Facebook killer’.Microsoft is trying to find a new niche in the social networking field.

One thing which I really found interesting is that So.cl features a search experience, powered by Bing. There is a search box placed at the top of the stream. You can search the web using the search box and share the results with your friends. The results you share on your So.cl wall, which is usually called as status updates, can be commented on, just like in Facebook and Google+.

HTC going to build Facebook phone code Buffy


After years of considering how to best get into the phone business, Facebook has tapped Taiwanese cellphone maker HTC to build a smartphone that has the social network integrated at the core of its being. Facebook has allied with Taiwan's HTC to build a customized smart phone powered by Google's Android mobile operating system.

The project, code named " Buffy," is aimed at making a handset tailored for the California-based social networking platform. A Facebook team has been working with HTC as well as trying to make deals with telecom providers for the smartphone, which it hopes to release within the next 18 months.

A Facebook spokesman declined to comment directly on the "Buffy" project to Things Digital. It is possible that the device simply known as Buffy will have a modified version of the Android platform that will make Facebook the front and center attraction. It is not yet clear what kind of visual changes will be made. It is also possible that the blue button will remain somewhere on the device. According to a Facebook spokesperson, they believe that every mobile device is better when it is deeply social.

According to Facebook, they  have 350 million active mobile users, and relationships with 475 global mobile operators. Although it is one of the most popular applications on nearly every phone for which it is available, the social network generally plays only a supporting role.

How to verify an e-mail address?

How do you verify if a given email address is real or fake?

When we send a test mail to that email address and if your message doesn’t bounce, it is safe to assume that the address is real. But some web domains may have configured a catch-all email address meaning that messages addressed to a non-existent mailbox will not be returned to the sender but in most cases, such email messages will bounce.

Ping an Email Address to Validate

When you send an email to someone, the message goes to an SMTP server which then looks for the MX (Mail Exchange) records of the email recipient’s domain.
For instance, when you send an email to test@gmail.com, the mail server will try to find the MX records for the gmail.com domain. If records exist, then next step would be to determine whether that email username (test in our example) is present or not.
Using a similar logic, we can verify an email address from the computer without actually sending a test message. Here’s how:
Let say that we want to verify if the address marshal@gmail.com exists or not?

Step 1.
Enable telnet in Windows.  Or if you already have the Putty utility, skip this step.

Step 2.
Open the command prompt and type the following command:
nslookup –type=mx gmail.com

This command will extract and list the MX records of a domain as shown below. Replace gmail.com with the domain of the email address that you are trying to verify.
gmail.com MX preference=30, exchanger = alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com MX preference=20, exchanger = alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com MX preference=5,  exchanger = gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com MX preference=10, exchanger = alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com MX preference=40, exchanger = alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com

Step 3.
As you may have noticed, it is not uncommon that we have multiple MX records for a domain. Pick any one of the servers mentioned in the MX records, may be the one with the lowest preference level number (in our example, gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com), and “pretend” to send a test message to that server from you computer.

For that, go to command prompt window and type the following commands in the listed sequence:
3a: Connect to the mail server:
telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25
3b: Say byebye to the other server
ByeBye
3c: Identify yourself with some fictitious email address
mail from:<vishaji@gmail.com>
3d: Type the recipient’s email address that you are trying to verify:
rcpt to:<marshal@gmail.com>
The server response for ‘rcpt to’ command will give you an idea whether an email address is valid or not. You’ll get an “OK” if the address exists else it will show 550 error.
