Satellite phone

A satellite telephone, satellite phone, or satphone is a type of mobile phone thA satellite telephone, satellite phone, or satphone is a type of mobile phone that connects to orbiting satellites instead of terrestrial cell sites. They provide similar functionality to terrestrial mobile telephones; voice, short messaging service and low-bandwidth internet access are supported through most systems.

Depending on the architecture of a particular system, coverage may include the entire Earth, or only specific regions.

The mobile equipment, also known as a terminal, varies widely. Early satellite phone handsets had a size and weight comparable to that of a late-1980s or early-1990s mobile phone, but usually with a large retractable antenna. More recent satellite phones are similar in size to a regular mobile phone while some prototype satellite phones have no distinguishable difference from an ordinary smartphone.[1][2] Satphones are popular on expeditions into remote areas where terrestrial cellular service is unavailable.

A fixed installation, such as one used aboard a ship, may include large, rugged, rack-mounted electronics, and a steerable microwave antenna on the mast that automatically tracks the overhead satellites. Smaller installations using VoIP over a two-way satellite broadband service such as BGAN or VSAT bring the costs within the reach of leisure vessel owners. Internet service satellite phones have notoriously poor reception indoors, though it may be possible to get a consistent signal near a window or in the top floor of a building if the roof is sufficiently thin. The phones have connectors for external antennas that are often installed in vehicles and buildings. The systems also allow for the use of repeaters, much like terrestrial mobile phone systems.

MUMBAI: Country’s largest software company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Thursday said its net profit for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2011 rose by 31.1 per cent to Rs 2,623 crore.

It posted an increase of 31.3 per cent in quarterly revenues at Rs 10,157 crore, TCS said in a statement.

“Excellent execution and a constant focus on the customer has helped TCS round off a sterling performance in FY11, with strong growth in the fourth quarter, while maintaining margins at historic highs,” TCS CEO and MD N Chandrasekaran said in the statement.

Its net profit for 2010-11 jumped up by 29.5 per cent to Rs 9,068 crore as compared to the previous fiscal.

Its revenue during the period stood at Rs 37,325 crore, up 24.3 per cent as compared to 2009-10, it said.

“Looking ahead, the demand environment continues to be vibrant. There are opportunities across markets and industries,” Chandrasekaran said.

“Our nimble organisation structure, together with our full-services strategy and domain-intensive solutions gives us a great platform to sustain growth,” he added.

During the Janury-March quarter, the company added 11,700 employees (net), taking its total headcount to over 1.98 lakh, the statement said.

“We continue to shape the adoption of next generation technologies by investing in new areas like mobility, analytics, social media and sustainability solutions,” Chandrasekaran said.

The company has proposed a final dividend of Rs 8 per share on the face value of Re 1, the statement added.

Shares of the company were trading at Rs 1,200 on the BSE in late afternoon trade, down 1.54 per cent from its previous close.

Indian-American student indicted in roommate’s suicide

Indian american suicide

NEW YORK: An Indian-American student has been indicted for secretly viewing a same-sex encounter involving his roommate, who later jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge into the Hudson River.

Dharun Ravi, 19, a former student of Rutgers University, could face up to five years in prison if convicted of the top charges in the 15-count indictment announced by Middlesex County prosecutor Bruce Kaplan Wednesday.

Ravi, of Plainsboro, New Jersey, was charged by a grand jury with bias intimidation, invasion of privacy and witness and evidence tampering for using a webcam to spy on Tyler Clementi’s dorm room date with another man, New York Daily News reported.

Once Clementi’s Sep 22, 2010, suicide became public, Ravi asked witnesses not to implicate him and gave misleading information to investigators, Kaplan said.

According to the indictment, Ravi also knew the target of his webcam would be intimidated because of his sexual orientation.

The 18-year-old Clementi, a freshman in his first weeks at Rutgers, plunged into the Hudson River after Ravi and a second student surreptitiously watched his liaison Sep 19, prosecutors said.

Ravi then tried to broadcast a second meeting between Clementi and his friend two days later, they said.

The indictment said charges against Ravi’s friend, Molly Wei, were not presented “at this time”.

Wei, 19, is already facing a charge of invasion of privacy. Kaplan did not explain why she was not included in the indictment.

Lawyers for Ravi say the webcam stream was viewed only on a single computer and did not show the men having sex.

The death of Clementi, a promising violinist in his first weeks at college, came amid a string of high-profile suicides of young people who were gay or perceived to be gay.

US President Barack Obama and celebrities, including talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and sex columnist Dan Savage, have talked publicly about his death and said that young gays and lesbians need to know that life gets better.

Facebook And its History…

Main articles: History of Facebook and Timeline of Facebook

Mark Zuckerberg wrote Facemash, the predecessor to Facebook, on October 28, 2003, while attending Harvard as a sophomore. According to The Harvard Crimson, the site was comparable to Hot or Not, and “used photos compiled from the online facebooks of nine houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking users to choose the ‘hotter’ person”.^[12][13]

Mark Zuckerberg co-created Facebook in his Harvard dorm room.

To accomplish this, Zuckerberg hacked into the protected areas of Harvard’s computer network and copied the houses’ private dormitory ID images. Harvard at that time did not have a student “facebook” (a directory with photos and basic information). Facemash attracted 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in its first four hours online.^[12][14]

The site was quickly forwarded to several campus group list-servers, but was shut down a few days later by the Harvard administration. Zuckerberg was charged by the administration with breach of security, violating copyrights, and violating individual privacy, and faced expulsion. Ultimately, however, the charges were dropped.^[15]Zuckerberg expanded on this initial project that semester by creating a social study tool ahead of an art history final, by uploading 500 Augustan images to a website, with one image per page along with a comment section.^[14] He opened the site up to his classmates, and people started sharing their notes.

The following semester, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website in January 2004. He was inspired, he said, by an editorial in The Harvard Crimson about the Facemash incident.^[16] On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched “Thefacebook”, originally located at thefacebook.com.^[17]

Six days after the site launched, three Harvard seniors, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra, accused Zuckerberg of intentionally misleading them into believing he would help them build a social network called HarvardConnection.com, while he was instead using their ideas to build a competing product.^[18] The three complained to the Harvard Crimson, and the newspaper began an investigation. The three later filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg, subsequently settling.^[19]

Membership was initially restricted to students of Harvard College, and within the first month, more than half the undergraduate population at Harvard was registered on the service.^[20] Eduardo Saverin (business aspects), Dustin Moskovitz (programmer), Andrew McCollum (graphic artist), and Chris Hughes soon joined Zuckerberg to help promote the website. In March 2004, Facebook expanded to Stanford, Columbia, and Yale.^[21] It soon opened to the other Ivy League schools, Boston University,New York University, MIT, and gradually most universities in Canada and the United States.^[22][23]

Facebook incorporated in the summer of 2004, and the entrepreneur Sean Parker, who had been informally advising Zuckerberg, became the company’s president.^[24] In June 2004, Facebook moved its base of operations to Palo Alto, California.^[21] It received its first investment later that month from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel.^[25] The company dropped The from its name after purchasing the domain name facebook.com in 2005 for $200,000.^[26]

Facebook launched a high-school version in September 2005, which Zuckerberg called the next logical step.^[33] At that time, high-school networks required an invitation to join.^[34] Facebook later expanded membership eligibility to employees of several companies, including Apple Inc. and Microsoft.^[35] Facebook was then opened on September 26, 2006, to everyone of age 13 and older with a valid email address.^[36][37]

On October 24, 2007, Microsoft announced that it had purchased a 1.6% share of Facebook for $240 million, giving Facebook a total implied value of around $15 billion.^[38] Microsoft’s purchase included rights to place international ads on Facebook.^[39] In October 2008, Facebook announced that it would set up its international headquarters in Dublin, Ireland.^[40] In September 2009, Facebook said that it had turned cash flow positive for the first time.^[41] In November 2010, based on SecondMarket Inc., an exchange for shares of privately held companies, Facebook’s value was $41 billion (slightly surpassing eBay‘s) and it became the third largest US web company after Google and Amazon.^[42] Facebook has been identified as a pos

raffic to Facebook increased steadily after 2009. More people visited Facebook than Google for the week ending March 13, 2010.^[44] Facebook also became the top social network across eight individual markets — in Australia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Vietnam — while other brands commanded the top positions in certain markets, including Google-owned Orkut in India, Mixi.jp in Japan, CyWorld in South Korea, and Yahoo!’s Wretch.cc in Taiwan.^{[citation needed]}

In March 2011 it was reported that Facebook removes approximately 20,000 profiles from the site every day for various infractions, including spam, inappropriate content and underage use, as part of its efforts to boost cyber security.^[45]

In early 2011, Facebook announced plans to move to its new headquarters, the former Sun Microsystems campus in Menlo Park, California.^[46][47]

Files go missing when palms aren’t greased: Infy director

“Corruption in government departments is largely among officials in the lower cadre,” says Mohandas Pai.

BANGALORE: No one seems to enjoy immunity from the curse of corruption. On Saturday, director (HR), Infosys Technologies, T V Mohandas Pai made candid admission on how the country’s top IT firm had to make its way through corrupt officials, when it came to getting land approval for setting up its offices. Pai was speaking in the backdrop of the mass movement led by social activist Anna Hazare, which garnered unprecedented support from citizens across the country.

“Corruption in government departments is largely among officials in the lower cadre. These officials are more powerful than IAS officers for the simple reason that it’s they who handle and maintain all documents related to your work,” Pai said.

He recalled instances where Infosys had problems procuring building plan from a civic agency in north India while establishing the campus there.

“We were asked to pay bribe. We refused. But in all places, wherever Infosys is functioning today, we have been supported by the chief secretaries. In north India too, we got the approval without paying a single rupee bribe. This because we brought the issue to the notice of higher officials. Left with no choice, the clerks finally gave in. Files go missing when palms are not greased.”

The campaign against corruption reminded Pai of emergency days when he used to protest as a student. // <![CDATA[
