An 18-year-old Indian-American girl has invented a super-capacitor device that could potentially charge your cellphone in less than 20 seconds.

Eesha Khare, from Saratoga, California, was awarded the Young Scientist Award by the Intel Foundation after developing the tiny device that fits inside mobile phone batteries, that could allow them to charge within 20-30 seconds.

The so-called super-capacitor, a gizmo that can pack a lot of energy into a tiny space, charges quickly and holds its charge for a long time, NBC News reported.

Khare has been awarded USD 50,000 for developing the tiny device. She has also attracted the attention of tech giant Google for her potentially revolutionary invention.

According to Khare, her device can last for 10,000 charge-recharge cycles, compared with 1,000 cycles for conventional rechargeable batteries.

"My cellphone battery always dies," she said when asked about what inspired her to work on the energy-storage technology.

Super-capacitors allowed her to focus on her interest in nanochemistry "really working at the nanoscale to make significant advances in many different fields."

The gadget has so far only been tested on an LED light, but the good news is that it has a good chance of working successfully in other devices, like mobile phones, the report said.

Khare sees it fitting inside cellphones and the other portable electronic devices proliferating in today's world.

"It is also flexible, so it can be used in rollup displays and clothing and fabric. It has a lot of different applications and advantages over batteries in that sense," Khare added.

Sunil Lalvani

Struggling smartphone-maker BlackBerry has appointed Sunil Lalvani as the new managing director for India.

Lalvani, who used to head BlackBerry's enterprise business in the country, will replace Sunil Dutt, who left the company in March.

The top-management overhaul comes just months after Canada based BlackBerry, formerly known as Research in Motion, unveiled it's latest touch-based smartphon
e - BlackBerry Z10.

Once the most popular device among corporates, BlackBerry has been losing market share to rival mobile phone vendors such as Samsung and Nokia over the past two years. Its market share in India fell from about 15% in 2011 to less than 8% in 2012, according to analyst estimates.

Lalvani's appointment is latest in a series of top-management changes at the beleaguered phone maker. In 2011, Dutt took over after BlackBerry's managing director Frenny Bawa stepped down from her position. Over the past two months, Rick Costanzo, the company's executive vice-president for global sales, was leading the team in India.

In an email statement, Lalvani said the company's focus will be on driving the latest mobile solutions to consumers and enterprises in India. He has about 20 years of industry experience and has worked at companies such as Nokia and Cisco.

Peer-to-Peer’, which morphed into
Skyper, then Skype.
Mercedes: This was actually financier's
daughter's name.
Adidas: The company name was taken from
its founder Adolf (ADI) Dassler whose first
name was shortened to the nickname Adi.
Together with first three letters of his
surname it formed ADIDAS.
Adobe: This came from the name of the river
Adobe Creek that ran behind the house of
founder John Warnock.
Apple Computers: It was the favourite fruit
of founder Steve Jobs. He was three months
late for filing a name for the business, and
he threatened to call his company Apple
Computers if the other colleagues didn't
suggest a better name by 5 o'clock.
CISCO: It is not an acronym as popularly
believed. It's short for San Francisco.
Compaq: This name was formed by using
COMP, for computer and PAQ to denote a
small integral object.
Corel: The name was derived from the
founder's name Dr. Michael Cowpland. It
stands for COwpland Research Laboratory.
Google: The name started as a joke boasting
about the amount of information the search-
engine would be able to search. It was
originally named 'Googol', a word for the
number represented by 1 followed by 100
zeros. After founders - Stanford graduate
students Sergey Brin and Larry Page
presented their project to an angel investor;
they received a cheque made out to
'Google'. So, instead of returning the cheque
for correction, they decided to change the
name to Google.
Hotmail: Founder Jack Smith got the idea of
accessing e-mail via the web from a
computer anywhere in the world. When
Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business
plan for the mail service, he tried all kinds of
names ending in 'mail' and finally settled for
hotmail as it included the letters "html" - the
programming language used to write web
pages. It was initially referred to as HoTMaiL
with selective uppercasing.
Hewlett Packard: Bill Hewlett and Dave
Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the
company they founded would be called
Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett.
Intel: Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted
to name their new company 'Moore Noyce'
but that was already trademarked by a hotel
chain so they had to settle for an acronym
of INTegrated ELectronics.

his company from 'The Lotus Position' or
'Padmasana'. Kapor used to be a teacher of
transcendental Meditation of Maharishi

recruited him and Scott McNealy to
manufacture computers based on it, and Bill
Joy to develop a UNIX-based OS for the
computer.
Apache: It got its name because its founders
got started by applying patches to code
written for NCSA's httpd daemon. The result
was 'A PAtCHy' server - thus, the name
Apache Jakarta (project from Apache): A
project constituted by SUN and Apache to
create a web server handling servlets and
JSPs. Jakarta was name of the conference
room at SUN where most of the meetings
between SUN and Apache took place.
Tomcat: The servlet part of the Jakarta
project. Tomcat was the code name for the
JSDK 2.1 project inside SUN.
C: Dennis Ritchie improved on the B
programming language and called it 'New B'.
He later called it C. Earlier B was created by
Ken Thompson as a revision of the Bon
programming language (named after his wife
Bonnie).
C++: Bjarne Stroustrup called his new
language 'C with Classes' and then 'newC'.
Because of which the original C began to be
called 'old C' which was considered insulting
to the C community. At this time Rick Mascitti
suggested the name C++ as a successor to C.
GNU: A species of African antelope. Founder
of the GNU project Richard Stallman liked
the name because of the humour associated
with its pronunciation and was also
influenced by the children's song 'The Gnu
Song' which is a song sung by a gnu. Also it
fitted into the recursive acronym culture
with 'GNU's Not Unix'.
Java: Originally called Oak by creator James
Gosling, from the tree that stood outside his
window, the programming team had to look
for a substitute as there was no other
language with the same name. Java was
selected from a list of suggestions. It came
from the name of the coffee that the
programmers drank.
LG: Combination of two popular Korean
brands Lucky and Goldstar.
Linux: Linus Torvalds originally used the
Minix OS on his system which here placed
by his OS. Hence the working name was
Linux (Linus' Minix). He thought the name to
be too egotistical and planned to name it
Freax (free+freak+x). His friend Ari Lemmke
encouraged Linus to upload it to a network
so it could be easily downloaded. Ari gave
Linus a directory called 'Linux' on his FTP
server, as he did not like the name Freax.
(Linus parents named him after two-time
Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling).
Mozilla: When Marc Andreessen, founder of
Netscape, created a browser to replace
Mosaic (also developed by him), it was
named Mozilla (Mosaic-Killer, Godzilla). The

and it was re-christened Netscape Navigator.
Red Hat: Company founder Marc Ewing was
given the Cornell lacrosse team cap (with red

grandfather. He lost it and had to search for
it desperately. The manual of the beta
version of Red Hat Linux had an appeal to
readers to return his Red Hat if found by
anyone!
SAP: "Systems, Applications, Products in
Data Processing", formed by 4 ex-IBM
employees who used to work in the
'Systems/Applications/Projects' group of
IBM.
UNIX: When Bell Labs pulled out of MULTICS
(MULTiplexed Information and Computing
System), which was originally a joint Bell/GE/
MIT project, Ken Thompson and Dennis
Ritchie of Bell Labs wrote a simpler version
of the OS. They needed the OS to run the
game 'Space War' which was compiled under
MULTICS. It was called UNICS - UNIplexed
operating and Computing System by Brian
Kernighan. It was later shortened to UNIX.
SCO (UNIX): From Santa Cruz Operation. The
company's office was in Santa Cruz.
Xerox: The inventor, Chestor Carlson, named
his product trying to say 'dry' (as it was dry
copying, markedly different from the then
prevailing wet copying). The Greek root 'xer'
means dry.
Yahoo: The word was invented by Jonathan
Swift and used in his book 'Gulliver's
Travels'. It represents a person who is
repulsive in appearance and action and is
barely human. Yahoo! founders Jerry Yang
and David Filo selected the name because
they considered themselves yahoos.
3M: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing
Company started off by mining the material
corundum used to make sandpaper. It was
changed to 3M when the company changed
its focus to Innovative Products.

Google isn’t exactly a stranger to
allegations that they invade the privacy of
their customers, but now the search engine
is being asked to explain itself in court over
accusations that they snoop through
messages sent through its Gmail service.
Representatives from Google are asking a
federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit waged at
the company’s Gmail platform because the
plaintiffs in the case cannot explicitly prove
that their correspondence is being
unlawfully monitored by the email service.
Brad Scott and Todd Harrington are the
lead plaintiffs in a case that attempts to
call-out the Silicon Valley search engine
company as being in violation of
California’s Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA)
because they believe Gmail conducts
clandestine scans of emails for words and
content, intentionally intercepting private
communiqué as a result without obtaining
the user’s permission. Google, on the other
hand, maintains that only computers
complete all the legwork and that no
humans actually have their eyes on any
emails, also insisting that neither Mr. Scott
nor Mr. Harrington can back up their
claims that any action from Gmail has led
to injury.
Google condemned the case this week,
Courthouse News reports, arguing by way
of a 25-page motion that Gmail scans data
sent over its servers using its "fully
automated processes involve no human
review of any kind" that they insist exists
to screen out viruses and spam "for the
protection of its users." Now they are
asking US District Judge Lucy Koh to dismiss
the complaint with prejudice.
The plaintiffs say that Google’s actions are
enough to land them in court because that
conduct constitutes wiretapping and
eavesdropping in their eyes, a claim which
Google says is “contorting ” state law " in
ways the California Legislature never
intended.”
"In the context of emails, multiple
courts have recognized that no one can
reasonably expect that the emails they
send to others will be free from the
automated processing that is normally
associated with delivering emails,"
Google responds to the case with this
week’s motion.
"Plaintiffs fail to articulate a single
concrete injury stemming from the
automated processing of emails sent to
Gmail users," Google adds. "Plaintiffs
instead rely on conclusory allegations
that their privacy rights were infringed
in the abstract."
Additionally, Google charges that no state
statues being called into question applies
to the plaintiffs’ allegations, writing in their
motion that the terms " electronic
communication," "email," "Internet" and
"computer" are not included.
"Even if the court were to accept
plaintiffs' invitation to judicially rewrite
the statute to reach electronic
communications, choice of law rules
would still preclude applying CIPA to this
case," Google’s motion states.
"CIPA makes clear on its face that it is
intended to protect California residents
and not to regulate California
businesses," Google adds.
Judge Koh is now expected to hear the
motion on March 21, 2013. Meanwhile,
congressional Republicans wrote to the
White House this week to attack a planned
cybersecurity executive order that would
allow third-party companies, such as
Google, to openly share customer-inputted
information with the federal government.
“An executive order exerting influence
over critical infrastructure is not just a
step in the wrong substantive direction, ”
the letter reads. “It will almost certainly
be exploited by other nations to justify
their efforts to regulate the Internet.
This is a most critical time, and we
cannot afford a hasty, unilateral action
that will only serve to bolster the
efforts of less democratic nations to
stifle the very free exchange of ideas
and expression that has allowed the
Internet to flourish across the globe. For
these reasons, we urge you to rethink
the wisdom of an executive order.”
The letter to US President Barack Obama
was signed by 11 GOP members of
Congress, including US Rep. Fred Upton (R-
Michigan), Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-New
Hampshire), Senator Marco Rubio (R-
Florida) and Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah)

People share a lot of links online. This is particularly true as microblogging services such as Twitter have grown in popularity. If you’re not familiar with them, URL shorteners basically squeeze a long URL into fewer characters to make it easier to share with others. With character limits in tweets, status updates and other modes of short form publishing, a shorter URL leaves more room to say what’s on your mind — and that’s why people use them. They said on their blog announcement.

 However, there is nothing to to be happy, since Google URL shortener is not a stand-alone service i.e., you can’t use it to shorten links directly. Currently, Google URL Shortener is only available from the Google Toolbar and FeedBurner.

With limited space for tweeting, the URL shortener business has boomed, currently Bit.ly was leading.
Side by side with Google’s URL shortner, Fb.me is also showing up in several tweets. However, it’s unclear how long fb.me has been in operation.

You use Facebook, Google and other web pages everyday. But have you ever visited world’s first website? Let’s recall the history.

The main idea of World Wide Web (WWW) was proposed 2 decades ago in March 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee. It was written to persuade CERN that a global hypertext system was in CERN’s best interest. The term World Wide Web was never thought and mentioned in his proposal, rather it was called Mesh. The term WWW was coined only when he was writing the code in 1990.

Finally he finished is codding for WWW in 1990 based on his proposal, along with the standards for HTML, HTTP, and URLs.

It was 1991 when the first website ever was created with URL http://info.cern.ch. The first content in the first website was to explain the World Wide Web.



The first web page file name was TheProject.html. And it was actually located at following link:
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

However the first web page is not there. But don’t worry you can still browse the world’s first web page here.

If you are interested in reading Tim’s proposal, you can still read it here.

Few days back, my friend’s google adsense got hacked by unknown person. Needless to say that he never reached those phishing sites,
neither he gave his secondary email’s password to other. How was his password hacked?

When I tried solving his problem. I asked help for google, by clicking on “can’t access my account” link. After following some instructions,
 I was welcomed to this screen

I let him fill out the form with as much information as he had. Then after few hours google replied him in his mail with a link to reset his password.
 Thank god then he recovered his password. But again the same problem repeated, the account got hacked once again.
 I guess the person who might have hacked his account must be so much clever that he again used the same method to use get back the adsense account.

The game of recovering and recovering is going on an on.
The theif never quits as every time the password is recovered, he applies same technique to recover the password back again. And so does my friend.

I hope there is some better solution to make your adsense account more secure. I wish google to read this post.

Next time be careful folks, who knows next victim might be you.

Deciding to start up a blog while still in college is an excellent choice—not only can it help improve your writing and communication skills as well as improve your computer skills, but a blog can also help you find a job after graduation, especially if you create a blog that's in your "niche" or " industry." For example, if you want to become a music journalist, then creating a blog where you review bands and albums can help you get your foot in the door. But in order to show that your blog is influencing other people, you have to have an audience—i.e. continuous traffic visiting your blog. But word-of-mouth isn't enough. That said, below are few ways that can earn you some loyal readers.

SEO

First and foremost you need to understand the importance of search engine optimization (SEO). Search engines such as Google and Bing use a set of algorithms to "rank" pages. Thus, when a consumer types a set of keywords or a phrase in the search box, the search engine will pull up a listing of the top matches. Since statistics show that consumers typically don't go past the first page of results, you want to make sure that your blog is highly ranked. There are a lot of different factors that are considered when search engines decide order of rankings, including key words in your article, domain name, and original content. The whole ordeal can be quite confusing. 

Catchy Headlines

In order to attract and keep readers, you really need to learn how to write engaging headlines, otherwise readers won't read your content or come back to your blog. Using superlative adjectives, such as "easiest," "best" and "worst" and lists are popular headline choices. For example: 5 Best Ways to Design a Blog or 25 Greatest Summer Vacation Spots. Proposing a stimulating question or analysis that tells the reader what the story will be about without giving it all away is also a great headline. For example: Will Google+ Take Over Facebook? Is Facebook's Timeline too Complicated? 


Post Photos

To make everything visually appealing you should also aim to have accompanying photos to your posts. Of course you need to abide by copyright laws and find photos that you can use legally. Your best sources for royalty-free stock or real photos are those found on Wikipedia Commons, Flickr and FreeDigitalPhotos.net just to name a few.

Use Social Media Marketing

Last but not least, you need to let readers know that your blog exists by continuously marketing your blog on a variety of social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Add professional people in your industry so that every time you Tweet a blog post article for example you possibly might get a re-tweet and gain an influx of more readers. Finding ways to promote your blog is crucial to gaining and keeping traffic.
