HP gives Lap top for Kids

One more of the world's biggest technology companies is clamoring to enter the growing market for pint-sized computers targeted mainly for pint-sized customers.

Hewlett-Packard Co, the number one seller of personal computers worldwide, said today it's throwing its weight behind a new class of miniaturized laptops, a fledgling market already populated with products from Intel Corp, the world's largest semiconductor company, and Asustek Computers Inc, the world's largest maker of computer motherboards.

The machines are so new the industry has not settled on a name for low-cost and scaled-down laptops used primarily for surfing the Internet and performing other basic functions like word processing. It is a good news for kids.

Nooyi earns 81 times more than Warren Buffet

Indra Nooyi, the India-origin CEO of beverages major PepsiCo, earns over 81 times more than the world's richest man Warren Buffett in terms of her annual pay packet, according to data compiled by executive search firm Equilar for the New York Times.Nooyi received an annual compensation to the tune of $14.74 million in 2007 as compared to just $ 0.18 million drawn by Buffett who heads Berkshire Hathway, which is into life insurance and annuity sales, among others.

Another India-origin CEO Vikram Pandit, who is heading global banking giant Citigroup, takes home a compensation of about 17 times that of Buffet. In 2007, Pandit had an annual compensation of $ 3.16 million.Further, Rajiv L Gupta, an India-origin CEO heading the speciality chemicals maker Rohm & Haas earns a compensation of $ 7.26 million, nearly 40 per cent higher than that of Buffett.

Indian costline going to be Submerged

Rising seas and water shortages will displace about 125 million people living along the coasts of India and Bangladesh by the turn of the century, Greenpeace said on Tuesday.In a study on rapidly warming South Asia, the global environment group said climate change would also trigger erratic monsoons and break down agricultural systems in the vast and densely populated Gangetic delta.

India, whose economy has grown by 8-9 percent annually in recent years, is one of the world's top polluters and contributes around 4 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions as its consumption of fossil fuels grows.Together, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan have nearly 130 million people living along coastal areas less than 10 metres (33 feet) above sea level as said in green peace report.

Christian Aid has predicted there will be one billion people displaced by climate change globally by 2050.India, Bangladesh and Pakistan have a total population of about 1.4 billion people. I think this is the biggest issue we have to take care. We have to reduce the emission of green house gases. So we should think of future generation and use the resource.

Indian wins Junior Nobel

Indians are rocking all over the world.

2008 will be in Top 10 Warm Years

Bucking the trend of global warming, the start of 2008 saw icy weather around the world from China to Greece.
It is raining continuously for the past one week, despite this rainy start, 2008 is expected to end up among the top 10 warmest years since records began in the 1860s.

NASA satellite data this week showed the thickest and oldest ice around the North Pole has been disappearing. Finland had its warmest winter on record. High-speed ferries between Helsinki and Tallinn in Estonia, normally halted for months by winter ice on the Baltic Sea, started earlier than ever in mid-March. In Norway, many ski resorts have deep snow even though the winter has been the third warmest on record — scientists say a spinoff of climate change may be more precipitation.

So NASA says that during May-June-July we have to suffer a lot in a hot weather. They say that temperature will go up to 42 Celsius in INDIA. So save the water now itself for our future use in 2008.

Earth Hour in Inidia

What is Earth Hour? During this hour we have to switch of all light and all power consumption material to save earth from green house gas emissions. This information i got from sandy carlson. Actually the earth hour movement was started in Sydney. Look at the Sydney during the earth hour on March 29 2007.

This earth hour has started to know the importance of earth and how it is destroyed due to global warming. We should get a awareness on green house gases. So what they suggest on earth hour is Put of your lights on march 29 between 8 to 9 PM. India being large populated if we adopt earth hour we can hardly reduce the global warming effect.

You can also join this group to be a member of earth hour.

Nanorockets - The ultimate boosters for satellite

Can anyone believe that a rocket booster of bacteria size. Yes it is possible as it was designed by Brian Gilchrist. He designed an engine of a size of single bacterium. For thrust it relies on the equivalent of chucking microscopic beer cans out of the spacecraft's rear window. He proposes to harness the latest nanotechnology to create an engine that will make its way across the solar system by firing out minute metal particles like so much nano-sized grapeshot.

It will take more than just one of these nanoscale motors to drive a spacecraft; Gilchrist envisages arrays of many millions of them being bolted onto a space vehicle. Even then they will not have nearly enough oomph to launch a craft into orbit. Yet once up in space Gilchrist's "nanoparticle field emission thrusters", or nanoFETs will function to move in the orbit

What will Ponting do now???

Ponting once again successfully lost in CB series final for the fourth time in a row. Now Ponting is in deep trouble and what he will be going to do now. A survey held among our friends suggested these tips to Ponting.

Tip No 1:

He is begging Gilchrist not to retire and he also called and pleaded Mcgrath to join the team back because they don’t know how to bowl to Sachin.

Tip No 2:

He also pleaded Sachin that he won’t break his record in Test, So only Sachin got out at the score of 91.

Tip no 3:

Ponting does know how to captain so a grandma in Australia suggested Ponting to drink urine from Dhoni. So he went to Dhoni and asked 1 liter of urine. But unfortunately Dhoni had only 600ml of Urine. He begged Dhoni for an hour and finally he got it from Dhoni. Now he is going to drink.

If anyone has some more tips to Ponting don’t hesitate to post here...

Canny algorithm in my project

In my project i have to detect blood cell edges. I found it canny algorithm is very much useful to detect edges. The Canny edge detection operator was developed by John F. Canny in 1986 and uses this multi-stage algorithm to detect a wide range of edges in images.
In my project i will give blood samples as input. The image is gray scaled and subjected to canny algorithm. There are various stages in this algorithm.

Noise Reduction:

This is the first stage of algorithm. In this staged we remove unwanted pixels in the image.It uses a first derivative of Gaussian filter. After applying this filter the image is converted into a slightly blurred image. This is the 5 X 5 Gaussian filter.

Finding the intensity gradient of the image:

An edge in an image may point in a variety of directions, so the Canny algorithm uses four filters to detect horizontal, vertical and diagonal edges in the blurred image.The edge detection operator (Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel for example) returns a value for the first derivative in the horizontal direction (Gy) and the vertical direction (Gx). From this the edge gradient and direction can be determined.The edge direction angle is rounded to one of four angles representing vertical, horizontal and the two diagonals.



Rest of stages in next post
