9th Edition of FITAG TIMES

Dear Fitagians,

All of us are witness-

ing a historical hap-

pening in our country.

The elections happening

across the country are not

unique and the first time

for us. But, the current

political scenario, efforts

put in by all the political

parties, role play of

media in this elections as

well as the helpless com-

mon man of India having

a forceful look at the

rhetoric of all these

politicians, whether we

believe it or not, we are

being a forceful witness

of the most corrupt, most

expensive and the most

illusive

election

in the

history

of India

so far.

According to me

which ever party wins, it

will not be able to show

any sudden change in the

situation of the country.

This is surely raising a

question that what

should we expect from

the new government, not

as IT fraternity, but as a

common man. So we

should look at the areas

which are addressing our

routine life. I have put on

following few points...

Google today announced

the launch of a new tool

as part of its elections portal

offering ‘google.co.in/elec-

tions’, called ‘Know Your

Candidates’. The new tool

will allow citizens to get easy

access to relevant informa-

tion about political candi-

dates contesting from their

constituency and their incum-

bent Member of Parliament.

This tool integrates publicly

available information sourced

from Indian organizations

such as the Association for

Democratic Reforms (ADR),

PRS Legislative Research

and Liberty Institute India.

The tool will provide valu-

able information for each sit-

ting Lok Sabha MP and con-

testing candidates such as

their disclosed educational

background, financial details

and social media presence

(wherever available) includ-

ing video bios of the candi-

dates provided by Ping net-

works. Mapped onto Google

Maps interface, citizens will

be able to find the informa-

tion by using pin codes of

their area or by zooming on

their locality on the map.

The tool will be updated regu-

larly to provide information

about all candidates as they get

finalised and will be made avail-

able at least a week before the vot-

ing day in each constituency. Prof.

Trilochan Sastry, a founding

member of ADR applauded this

launch saying,”We are delighted

to collaborate with Google to

launch this tool, which will help

our concerted effort to dissemi-

nate to the citizens of India the

background information of the

candidates contesting the Lok

Sabha 2014 elections that will

enable them to make an informed

choice during voting. As citizens

we have to play a proactive role in

ensuring that we choose politi-

cians who are clean, honest and

committed to the progress, securi-

ty and development of the people

of India, and we at ADR have

been working on deeper reforms

including political party reforms

and in the last few years have

obtained several landmark judg-

ments from the Supreme Court

and Central Information

Commission.” Commenting on

the launch, Rajan Anandan, VP

and Managing Director of Google

India, said “In the last five

months, we have made a concert-

ed effort to provide our users a

one stop destination for all their

information needs for the upcom-

ing Lok Sabha elections. With the

launch of this tool, we have added

all the important information of

the contesting candidates with the

help of groups such as ADR and

PRS Legislative Research who

have been doing a stellar job of

collating all the important infor-

mation about the candidates. We

hope that making this information

easily accessible will help Indian

voters learn more about candi-

dates running for public office and

help them to make an informed

decision.” The Google Elections

Hub is an online hub for elec-

tions-related news and informa-

tion created to help 800 million

Indian voters stay informed and

updated about the elections.

The site also includes features

such as elections related News

Videos, Search Trends, G+

Hangout Series, and an interactive

Pledge to Vote campaign. Google

created its first elections tools

seven years ago when our engi-

neers noticed a huge increase in

search traffic around the election

period in the United States. Today

over 20 countries including

Malaysia, Thailand, and now,

India have elections pages that aid

voters during election periods.

Google aims to encourage people

to be more participative and

engage with candidates. It also

allows voters to have a deeper

understanding of politics and gov-

ernance through engagement with

the candidates.<

At a press event last week,

file storage and sharing

service Dropbox unveiled a

new version of Dropbox for

Business designed to give IT

departments more control and

visibility over storage and shar-

ing.

The update lets users main-

tain two separate Dropbox

accounts: one to store personal

photos and documents, and

another for business use and

company-owned data. Users

can access both via mobile or

desktop. Dropbox CEO Drew

Houston said the new version

will alleviate problems that

have long plagued many IT

departments, such as employ-

ees saving company documents

to their personal Dropbox

accounts.

The new Dropbox for

Business includes three updates

that give IT more control over

designated folders and content:

remote wipe, account transfer,

and sharing audit logs.

The remote wipe feature

lets both admins and users

delete the Dropbox folder from

a device if it is lost or stolen.

Admins can also remote-wipe

to delete a user's work Dropbox

folder from all devices if he or

she leaves the company.

[Dropbox's new mobile

app backs up your images.

Read Dropbox Carousel: 3

Highlights.]

In cases where an employee

leaves a team, admins can

transfer that account to another

team member to continue

workflows. Admins can use

this option either immediately

or after the user has been

removed, the company said.

The last addition -- the shar-

ing audit logs -- tracks how

data is shared inside and out-

side the company. Admins can

monitor shared folder and link

creation as well as changes that

employees make to shared

folder and shared link permis-

sions. Some of these features

already rolled out in beta to

select businesses.

Other changes to the new

version of Dropbox for

Business include updates to its

desktop and mobile apps, noti-

fications, APIs, admin console,

and sharing controls.

With its business version,

Dropbox enters a highly com-

petitive market where rivals

FITAG Times ReviewHello Fitag,

Respected Fitag President & General

Secretary,There are new technologies emerging that affect all aspects of

our lives, and it can feel daunting to try to keep up and stay in the

know. You may wonder if there is any way to stay on top of the

wave, FITAG TIMES is a good solution to this dilemma. Where

there is no place for magazines in a digital era, you can have look

at the digital copy of FITAG TIMES that you can take with you

on your portable devices wherever you go.

Many of the magazines focus on different aspects of the IT

world; while they won't all suit what you need best, but in case of

FITAG TIMES as it is the voice of IT Association it provides

exactly what we are looking for, as an IT professionals.

In a field where technology is changing by the day, FITAG

TIMES keeps us on top of the latest news and information in the

ever-developing field of information technology. It has a vari-

ety of topics including hardware, software, future technology

and feature articles. We are proud that it has consistently

provided quality content issue after issue with regular top-

ics they cover, in addition to featuring other interesting

topics.

If you have ever wondered about information tech-

nology, you can get something out of FITAG

TIMES. Technology isn't going anywhere anytime

soon, and FITAG TIMES gives you the edge you

need to avoid being drowned by the wave of

information.

I wish all the best to the editors of FITAG

TIMES for a grand success in future.

Thanking YouMr.Nitesh Gorasia

President- BITA

which say that we should

be expecting at least this much

from a government formed by

any party on immediate basis.

1. Lowest possible corrup-

tion level

2. Lowest possible fuel cost

These are the two most

important factors which will

effect any country's economy

at the basic level and increase

the living cost of a common

man. By reducing corruption

we can surely opt for lots and

lots of advantages really being

passed on to the desired bene-

ficiaries. We can also be one

of them!! Money allocated

for common man will be used

for them and then the lost trust

will slowly regain. Is it not

true that we have lost trust on

the functioning of govern-

ment? Any remedies?

Reduced corruption looks like

the only remedy as of now.

Fuel cost in India is one of

the most discussed, talked and

played factor. Prices of fuel

after being deregulated are

being artificially increased by

few business houses accord-

ing to a news. This is horrify-

ing and every Indian should

be asking answers from those

responsible politicians as well

as from the companies respon-

sible for the same. Any

increase in the cost of fuel will

increase the cost of all the

required household items.

And these prices will never

go down again resulting into a

huge imbalance between the

earning and spending capacity

of a common man. The situa-

tion is such that the price

index for household items

have increase manifold within

last 5 years and we, the people

of India, are helplessly watch-

ing the cruel dance of democ-

racy. Abolishing multiple

duties and levies on fuel cost

will reduce the cost of the fuel

more than half or even further,

and there are ways and means

to generate the lost revenue to

compensate the deficit.

So we must not only vote

for a change but we must

expect them to give better liv-

ing standards to Indian citi-

zens, be it any political party

forming the government.

Wish you a very healthy,

just and fair election. Let us

be proud to have a Gujarati

leading the prime ministerial

race.

Warm regards

and others have already

made their marks.

Dropbox's consumer offer-

ing has around 275 million

users who save about 1 bil-

lion files to the service

every day, the company

says.

Dropbox for Business

launched in beta in

November and retails for

$15 per user per month for a

minimum of five users.

Dropbox adds collabo-

ration tools

Dropbox also offered a

sneak peek into a set of col-

laboration tools it calls

Project Harmony, which the

company plans to release

later this year.

Project Harmony works

inside Microsoft Office

tools such as PowerPoint

and Excel to improve col-

laboration in documents and

prevent situations in which

two people are working on

two versions of the same

file, Houston said.

"A bunch of us have had

this experience: You spend

the afternoon in a file put-

ting all the final touches on

something and making it

perfect, only to find out that

someone 20 feet away from

you was doing the exact

same thing," Houston said

during the press event. "You

have this awful collision --

in Dropbox we call them

'Conflicts.' "

Houston noted the popu-

larity of Dropbox's green

checkmarks that indicate

that a file is up-to-date.

Project Harmony will move

these checkmarks into a

Microsoft Office document

so you know you're working

on the most up-to-date ver-

sion.

You'll also see a pop-up

alert when another user

opens the file you're work-

ing on. Mouse over it to see

if anyone else is in the file,

and click their name to start

a conversation, which is

saved inside the document

for future reference. When

you click to save your

changes in the document,

Dropbox syncs them and

updates the file automatical-

ly for all users.

Dropbox plans to add

these collaboration features

to Microsoft Office tools

first, but others will follow.

ACTIVITY CORNER



OFFER

VALID FROM

17th MARCH

30th APRIL-

2014

Dear friends,

IT has been a fantastic jour-

ney to be to gather. Now as

per our commitment we will

take our businesses & organi-

zations to a next level.

Networking is one of the most

powerful tools to expand our

business. If we ask five people

what networking is and we

may get five different answers.

I have observed that the

person's definition of network-

ing depends upon his/her use

of this important personal &

professional activity.

Networking may have Several

objectives

< To make new friends

< To find a new job

< To develop your current

career

< To explore new career

options

< To obtain referrals for sales

leads

< To explore new business

opportunities

< To broaden professional

horizons & many more….

But let's look at what it

actually means….

Network means a group of

people who exchange informa-

tion contacts and experience

for professional or social pur-

poses. Here are some tips….

I have seen that we have

invitations from all kinds of

gatherings. There is no short-

age of meetings to attend & if

you include face book &

linked in then…?

So, 'select' a meeting such

that you get the most out of

networking. Before you go,

please check. Whether the

event matches your business

profile, talk to network mem-

bers & decide if it is meant for

your kind of business.

You may have to "try" a

few meetings before you can

actually 'select' the appropriate

ones but that's how it is!

Initiate anyways!!!!

Networking has two - fold

objectives helping others &

finding people who can help

you. Remember, the person

whom you are speaking to may

not be relevant for what you do

but he/she might have right

connections..

When you meet the other

person, please be present to

what you share be clear & spe-

cific about what you are offer-

ing & what you are looking

for. Being effective requires

preparation & give a 'brief'

summary 30/40 seconds of

what you do & how others are

helped in the process. That

leaves people with an elevated

impression.

It is generally seen that we

are habitual ‘speakers' It is

normal also that we want to

say a lot about what we do &

what we offer.

But networking needs a dif-

ferent skill- listening.

Focus on

< Who you know

< Who you could connect

people to

< How you can help them.

< Gaffing feedback

By listening you get

< Unexpectedly great ideas.

< Feedbacks from your mar-

ket.

< A view of what is happen-

ing in your industry & what

trends are.

You should not move

around & meet people 'hoping'

that something will turnout in

your favor. It doesn't happen

anyways. So, please have

clear objectives & goals with

you. Let that be having new

customers, having new busi-

ness partners or expanding the

business wings.

Have a clear cut objective

& have conversations with

people. 'networking' is a very

resourceful activity & even

the non-relevant person can

provide excellent ideas. The

only question is are we listen-

ing for that?

This is the most important

tip for the business person. I

request you to be authentic

when you are networking.

Please keep in mind that it is

not just about you, it is also

about what you can do for oth-

ers. Be genuine & authentic.

The genuine desire to con-

tribute in the likes of others is

inspiring and infectious. It

builds trusting and lasting rela-

tionships. Your business will

really take off…. No other

option!!

It sounds obvious. But I

have seen that most of the peo-

ple do not carry business cards.

And even if they do, their

cards do not have a one-liner

about what they do & how they

help people. Don't offer the

cards, just for the sake of it.

Your quality of the card will

create an opportunity to be

contacted.

Your approach to the peo-

ple in the network will deter-

mine whether you are con-

tactable or not.

Your business grows when

you are easily contactable &

available

8. To network well, you

should have a brief conversa-

tion with one person & then

move on to another person. As

we have discussed… being

brief. This tip adds on. Make it

a game… how many business

cards can you distribute & in

turn collect? You may involve

your friend in this game & win

a prize.

Ask others what they are

struggling with and how can

you help. This will make both

of you think on the same thing

and establish some common

ground & potential synergy.

This is the most effective

tip. It is observed that almost

90% of the people, we meet

never follow up. It creates a

completely different impres-

sion when you do what you

had said keeping a promise. To

get in touch after a meeting is

very essential.

'Follow - up will make you

stand out & flourish.

If does not sound too posi-

tive but it is!!

Think about the quality of

relationships not the quantity

of it. Having actively engaged

customers are far more valu-

able than the unresponsive

people on a list. Remember, it

is not about the number of peo-

ple in the list it is about people

& their heart beat!!

And Finally

Networking is a fun and

easy way to enrich your life

broaden your horizons &

enhance your career / business.

Be generous in sharing what

you are best at!! Life is an

echo….. <

NEWS CORNER

Association of top 10

distributors on the anvil

The top 10 distributors in India with a

total annual turnover exceeding Rs.

30,000 crore have decided to from a dis-

tribution consortium/ association. Unlike

in the past, this is expected to be formed

as a legal entity and not as a loose asso-

ciation or group.

Ingram Micro, Redington, Supertron,

Savex, Neoteric, Compuage, Iris, Rashi,

Avnet and Inflow are the distributors that

are part of this new initiative, which is

expected to roll out in the next 15-20

days.

The association is expected to lobby

with the government on policy reforms

and taxation matters, work together to

share information to avoid bad debts, and

work with vendors to resolve channel

policy and industry issues.

Obviously resellers are concerned

about this association turning into a car-

tel. Remarked Toshy Mathew, Vice

President, AKITDA, the leading channel

association of Kerala, “The prime con-

cern is if this will become a cartel and

dictate terms to resellers. If that happens

the IT channel will be badly hurt. But it

they work for the betterment of the entire

industry then it will be positive.”

The penn Manor High School in

the US has doled out as many

as 1,725 Linux powered laptops to

its students. The school has provid-

ed every student, from grades 9-12,

an Acer TravelMate laptop pre-

loaded with Ubuntu 13.10.

Following a roughly 5-minute ori-

entation, students were then let lose

to use their creativity on the

devices. “We encourage our stu-

dents to install software and lift the

hood of the system to better under-

stand what makes it tick. I hope our

students run local Web servers, toy

with Python or simply explore

graphics programs such as the

GIMP. Linux offers so many oppor-

tunities to explore computing, pro-

gramming and the arts, “the

school’s technology director,

Charlie Reisinger, was quoted as

sying. “Linx allows a level of

exploration and control that other

closed devices don’t. The cost sav-

ings in switching to all open source

softwere is an added benefit,”

Reisinger added.

Intel develops ‘cloudless’voice recognition system

As per current statistics, Apple’s

Siri holds the distinction of

being ‘almost’ the right voice recog-

nition system till date with its accu-

racy improving with every update.

However, the slowness of computa-

tion is something that bugs us all.

Chip manufacturer Intel has report-

edly found a solution for this prob-

lem, which will also take on the

might of Siri.

According to Mike Bell, head of

wearable technology at Intel, the

company is developing a voice

recognition system without the

cloud to localise processing so that

the round-trip to the cloud is ruled

out. Voice recognition systems

working on any platform are nor-

mally designed to work with

servers, and the device then sends

compressed signals to the server

and waits for a response.

To demonstrate how it works,

Intel has developed a prototype of a

wearable headset called Jarvis, with

built-in voice recognition softwere

The solution will be more respon-

sive than other ‘ cloud-obsessed’

solutions in the market, claims

Intel. The company has partnered

with an unnamed third party to put

the softwere on the Intel mobile

processors.

Fujitsu Helping Cut PowerUnifying communications by replacing separate PCs and telephones with a PC

equipped with a headset and some telephony software can sound like a great idea

until the first electricity bill for those always-on PCs comes in. Fujitsu hopes to

end that bill shock with an always-on multimedia PC for businesses that features

a special power saving mode. The esprimo X923 all-in-one business PCs fujitsu

revealed at the Cebit show in Hanover on Sunday include a headset, a handset, a

webcam, microphones and speakers for voice and video communications.

What you can do with “Google”What you can do with “Google”Google Translate is a free, multilingual statistical machine-translation service provided by

Google Inc. to translate written text from one language into another.

Features and limitations

The service limits the num-

ber of paragraphs, or range

of technical terms, that will be

translated. It is possible to enter

searches in a source language

that are first translated to a des-

tination language allowing one

to browse and interpret results

from the selected destination

language in the source lan-

guage.[8] For some languages,

users are asked for alternate

translations such as for techni-

cal terms, to be included for

future updates to the translation

process. Text in a foreign lan-

guage can be typed, and if

"Detect language" is selected, it

will not only detect the lan-

guage but will translate it into

English by default.

The homepage of English

Wikipedia translated into

Portuguese Google Translate,

like other automatic translation

tools, has its limitations. While

it can help the reader to under-

stand the general content of a

foreign language text, it does

not always deliver accurate

translations. Some languages

produce better results than oth-

ers. Google Translate performs

well especially when English is

the target language and the

source language is one of the

languages of the European

Union. Results of analyses

were reported in 2010, showing

that French to English transla-

tion is relatively accurate and

2011 and 2012 showing that

Italian to English translation is

relatively accurate as well.

However, rule-based machine

translations perform better if

the text to be translated is short-

er; this effect is particularly

evident in Chinese to English

translations. Edits of transla-

tions may be submitted, in

Chinese specifically one is not

able to edit a sentence as a

whole, instead editing based off

arbitrarily sets of characters,

leading to incorrect edits.

Texts written in the Greek,

Devanagari, Cyrillic and

Arabic scripts can be transliter-

ated automatically from pho-

netic equivalents written in the

Latin alphabet. The browser

version of the Google translator

provides the read phonetically

option for Japanese to English

conversion. The same option is

not available on the paid API

version.

Many of the more popular

languages have a "text-to-

speech" audio function that is

able to read back a text in that

language, up to a few dozen

words or so. In the case of

pluricentric lan-

guages, the accent

depends on the

region: for

English, in the

A m e r i c a s ,

m o s t

of the

A s i a -

P a c i f i c

and West Asia the audio

uses a female General

American accent, whereas in

Europe, Hong Kong, Malaysia,

Singapore, Guyana and all

other parts of the world a

female British English accent is

used, except for a special

Oceania accent used in

Australia, New Zealand and

Norfolk lsland; for Spanish, in

the Americas a Latin American

Spanish accent is used, while in

the other parts of the world a

Castilian Spanish accent is

used; Portuguese uses a São

Paulo accent in the world,

except for Portugal, where their

native accent is used. For other

less popular languages, the

audio is a garbled monotonous

vaguely male low-quality

voice.

Browser integration

A number of Firefox exten-

sions exist for Google services,

and likewise for Google

Translate, which allow right-

click command access to the

translation service.[12]

An extension for Google's

Chrome browser also

exists;[13] in February 2010,

Google Translate was integrat-

ed into the standard Google

Chrome browser for automatic

webpage translation.

Android version

Google Translate is

available as a

free downloadable application

for Android OS users. The first

version was launched in

January 2010. It works simply

like the browser version.

Google translation for Android

contains two main options:

"SMS translation" and

"History".

An early 2011 version sup-

ported Conversation Mode

when translating between

English and Spanish (in alpha

testing). This interface within

Google Translate allows users

to communicate fluidly with a

nearby person in another lan-

guage. In October 2011 it was

expanded to 14 languages.

Translation methodology

Google Translate does not

apply grammatical rules, since

its algorithms are based on sta-

tistical analysis rather than tra-

ditional rule-based analysis.

Indeed, the system's original

creator, Franz Josef Och, has

criticized the effectiveness of

rule-based algorithms in favor

of statistical approaches.[27] It

is based on a method

called statistical machine

translation,

and more

specifically,

on research

by Och who won the DARPA

contest for speed machine

translation in 2003. He is now

the head of

Google's machine translation

group.[28]

Google does not

translate from one lan-

guage to another (L1 ?

L2), but often translates

first to English and then to the

target language (L1 ? EN ? L2).

However, because English, like

all human languages, is

ambiguous and depends on

context, this can cause transla-

tion errors. For example, trans-

lating vous from French to

Russian gives vous - you - If

Google were using an unam-

biguous, artificial language as

the intermediary, it would be

vous - you - OR tu ? thou. Such

a suffixing of words disam-

biguates their different mean-

ings. Hence, publishing in

English, using unambiguous

words, providing context, using

expressions such as "you all"

often make a better one-step

translation.

Reviews

Shortly after launching the

translation service, Google won

an international competition for

English–Arabic and

English–Chinese machine

translation.

Translation mistakes and

oddities

Because Google Translate

uses statistical matching to

translate rather than a diction-

ary/grammar rules approach,

translated text can often include

apparently nonsensical and

obvious errors,[40] often swap-

ping common terms for similar

but nonequivalent common

terms in the other lan-

guage,[41] as well as inverting

sentence meaning.[42][citation

needed] Also, for the speech, it

uses only European French as

well as Latin American Spanish

worldwide, but both European

and Brazilian Portuguese

(European for

translate.google.pt and

Brazilian for all other Google

Translate sites).

Controversies

Google has been accused

of sexism due to the statisti-

cal assignment of gender

when translating from or

through English into lan-

guages where verbs are con-

jugated by gender. For exam-

ple, the phrase I drive used to

be translated into a masculine

conjugation, while I cook into

a feminine conjugation, due

to the higher occurrence of

such forms in corpora. Due to

public criticism in Israel,

Google has manually fixed

some apparent cases of sexist

translation into Hebrew by

using the masculine form for

all verbs.<
