The world’s cheapest tablet PC, Aakash, will soon be available

The world’s cheapest tablet PC, Aakash, will soon be available to the students on rent in their college libraries. The rented Aakash will have preloaded video tutorials on all disciplines including Science, Engineering and many more.

According to the sources, the Ministry of Human Resource Development is offering Aakash tablet at half the price to the state governments. Main goal of this progress is to encourage the state governments to issue Aakash tablets to the college libraries for free, thus the colleges can offer them on rent to the students.

On an anonymous condition, a government official has revealed that the duration of Aakash rental will be finalized by the college authorities. The ultimate target of the government is that the tablet should reach all 220 million college and school students. Until then, the officials are looking for alternate ways for the optimum usage of the tablet.

Camera for film making

Which camera should I buy?
By Benjamin Craig

This is one of the most common questions asked by new filmmakers, but fortunately the answer is by in large quite simple: it doesn't really matter.

Having an expensive camera does not suddenly make you a better filmmaker, so instead of blowing large amounts of cash on expensive kit, you should ideally be concentrating on making as many films as you can instead. Experience will make you a better filmmaker and ultimately, if your film is engaging and well made, it will find an audience, regardless of which camera you used to shoot it. The as you build experience, you can start to look at choosing formats which suit your budget.

That said, when buying any type of camera for use in filmmaking, there are a couple of givens. Firstly, you should only buy cameras that have a full set of manual controls. That means, manual focus, manual exposure, manual shutter speed, and ideally manual digital 'ISO' settings. Very low-end consumer cameras may be cheap, but they are designed for hassle-free shooting of holidays and weddings. For filmmaking, you need to have control.

The other main consideration is the camera to computer interface. As a filmmaker, you're going to want to edit, so you'll need to get your footage onto your computer one way or another. Whether this is done via USB, Firewire, SD card, or another method, you need to choose a camera which has an interface that works with your editing system. And remember that USB 1.0 can be painfully slow for transferring large video files (USB 2.0 or later is recommended).

These days, most people are interested in shooting HD in some way shape or form and most entry-level cameras (and also DSLRs like the Canon 5D) shoot in a format called AVC/HD. This has the advantage of being compatible with the current versions popular editing software such as Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere, and provides a pretty decent quality. That said, remember the ultimate picture quality is affected by a range of factors beyond the camera itself (particularly, lighting, lenses, DOP skill etc).

There are also still plenty of MiniDV cameras around, and indeed you may be able to pick up a prosumer version for a song compared to a newer HD camera. Prosumer MiniDV cameras, like a Canon XL1 or Sony VX1000, costs $3,000 - $5,000 when new, but will probably go for well under $1,000 these days. These cameras may actually give you a better picture quality than some of the low-end AVC/HD cameras. HDV is also a consideration, however as the format was quickly superseded by file-based HD cameras, there aren't that many models out there and they remain in the $1,000 - $2,000 range second hand.

And don't forget, if you absolutely positively must have a pro camera - consider renting it! You can test it out and learn all about it over a weekend . And then when you're ready to shoot, just book it for the days you need.

How an Antivirus Program Works

From the early viruses, created as experiments in the eighties, to the latest malicious code, one of the biggest worries for all computer users is the threat of viruses entering their systems.

To prevent viruses from entering a system there are basically just two options. The first of these is to place the computer in a protective 'bubble'. This in practice means isolating the machine; disconnecting it from the Internet or any other network, not using any floppy disks, CD-ROMs or any other removable disks. This way you can be sure that no virus will get into your computer. You can also be sure that no information will enter the computer, unless it is typed in through the keyboard. So you may have a fantastic computer, the perfect data processing machine...but with no data to process. If you're happy with that, your computer will be about as much use as a microwave oven.

The second option is to install an antivirus program. These are designed to give you the peace of mind that no malicious code can enter your PC. But how do they do it? How does the program let you install a game, but prevent a virus from copying itself to disk? Well, this is how it works....

An antivirus program is no more than a system for analyzing information and then, if it finds that something is infected, it disinfects it. The information is analyzed (or scanned) in different ways depending on where it comes from. An antivirus will operate differently when monitoring floppy disk operations than when monitoring e-mail traffic or movements over a LAN. The principal is the same but there are subtle differences.

The information is in the 'Source system' and must reach the 'Destination system'. The source system could be a floppy disk and the destination system could be the hard disk of a computer, or the origin an ISP in which a message is stored and the destination, the Windows communication system in the client machine, Winsock.

The information interpretation system varies depending on whether it is implemented in operating systems, in applications or whether special mechanisms are needed.

The interpretation mechanism must be specific to each operating system or component in which the antivirus is going to be implemented. For example, in Windows 9x, a virtual driver VxD is used, which continually monitors disk activity. In this way, every time the information on a disk or floppy disk is accessed, the antivirus will intercept the read and write calls to the disk, and scan the information to be read or saved. This operation is performed through a driver in kernel mode in Windows NT/2000/XP or an NLM which intercepts disk activity in Novell.
