BHUVAN -INIDA'S FIRST SATELLITE MAP

Bhuvan, (Sanskrit: भुवन, lit: Earth), is a satellite mapping tool similar to Google Earth .It was developed by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It offers resolution up to 5 metres and is considered as a rival to Google Earth and Wikimapia.[1]

A prototype (beta)[2] of this application was launched on 12th August 2009.[3]

Tata Consultancy Services has also appointed a 3 crore deal with ISRO to make advanced moon map which is taken by Chandrayaan. One of the official said this software will be a freeware and it needs a license for the usage whether to check they are Indian or not. This will provide the maximum resolution that any map cant make it with. ISRO has also decided to make a tracking and mapping antenna(30x15)m the largest in India in Chennai for advanced 3D mapping and resources.[4]

Bhuvan will be able to take more closer pictures of the Indian Subcontinent as compared to the Google Earth. Bhuvan will feature a zoom level of upto 10 meters while the Google Earth features a zoom level of up to 200 meters. The new ISRO Bhuvan will also feature a multi layer information mapping while the present Google Earth features a single layer information mapping system. Apart from that, Bhuvan will also update map information every year contrary to the Google Earth which updates its map information every 4 years. [5]

“With Bhuvan we will be able to produce very local information which will be specific to only to our own country. This information available from this mapping system will be useful in addressing very local problems like floods, famines, infrastructure development, education and much more,” said ISRO chairman Dr G Madhavan Nair.

Unlike Google Earth, however the Bhuvan application will not be downloadable and will not allow users to host content in the near future. “We are not competing with Google,” said Jayaraman. A Google spokesperson declined to comment. According to P. Nag, director of the National Atlas and Thematic Mapping Organisation, a Kolkata-based mapping agency that uses remote-sensing data to build India’s atlas, the Bhuvan project demonstrates the country’s expertise in both information and space technology

Microsoft Survey Shows Recession is Hurting IT Budgets, Pros

REDMOND, Wash., June 23 — While many information technology (IT) professionals are investing in specific areas of IT infrastructure, 55 percent say the economy has changed the role of IT and 51 percent say that budget constraints are the biggest barrier to their innovation, according to a new study commissioned by Microsoft Corp. and conducted by Harris Interactive® Inc. The study results indicate that IT professionals in the U.S. are devoting less budget to innovation than their counterparts in the U.K., Japan and Germany.

“Businesses that focus solely on reducing IT costs in this economy will not be as well positioned as those that develop new capabilities and solutions,” said Bob Kelly, corporate vice president of infrastructure server marketing at Microsoft. “IT is uniquely capable of not only delivering bottom-line cost savings, but also providing innovative solutions that will help organizations weather the storm and thrive. Now, more than ever, IT is a strategic asset.”

Innovation in a Challenging Economy

Of the four countries included in the study, the recession appears to make the biggest impact on IT innovation in the U.S. IT managers in Japan and the U.K. indicate they will devote 41 percent of their budgets toward innovation versus “keeping the lights on,” or maintaining current systems. IT professionals in Germany plan to invest 35 percent, while their counterparts in the U.S. plan to spend only 29 percent on innovation. On average, IT professionals across all four countries say they will allocate 37 percent of their budgets to innovation in 2009. Only 22 percent of IT professionals cite giving the business a competitive edge as their current top priority.

“Companies that make smart investments in IT will gain a foundation for their business that empowers innovation, boosts productivity and, ultimately, helps improve the bottom line,” Kelly said. “Investing in IT is a path to success, now and in the future.”

The economy may also be diminishing investment in “green” IT innovation. Eighty-four percent of IT professionals consider green factors when making decisions about datacenters, but “green” plays into the final decision for only about half of those organizations (44 percent of the total).

Efficiency Versus Cost-Cutting

Though the economy seems to be affecting IT’s ability to innovate, more survey participants are focused on driving business efficiency (48 percent) than on simply reducing IT costs (30 percent). Nearly two-thirds will increase their planned investment in at least one infrastructure technology, including virtualization, security, systems management and cloud computing, all of which can help organizations streamline operations and deliver business value.

Today’s mobile phones: Modern technology has changed our lives

Earlier, mobile phones used to be a novelty which was only used by the police officers in their patrol vans. Mobile phones were then known as car phones and their use was restricted due to their bulky sizes. But nowadays, their use has increased manifold with the advent of the Advanced Mobile Phone service or AMPS. According to a rough estimate, in UK alone, now there are more handsets than people.

Mobile phones have become a part and parcel of our lives today. They have penetrated each and every aspect of our lives. We are using them for trivial tasks like making calls, listening to music and web browsing and for more significant purposes like making videos. Nobody would have thought in the 1980’s that one day mobile phones will be used for video conferencing. It is understandable that mobile phones have made the landline technology absolutely redundant.

For buying a mobile phone there cannot be a better place than an online mobile shop. The quickest and the easiest way to buy a mobile phone, online mobile shops present you with a variety of options. You can choose from a plethora of handsets ranging from cool camera phones, music jukeboxes and 3G clamshells. All the information pertaining to a handset be its specifications, availability of various mobile phone deals is presented on these online mobile sites.

Mobile phone deals are of many kinds: you can choose from pay-as-you-go phones or contract phones. Pay-as-you-go deals are flexible and attractive deals whereas contract mobile phones offer you significant benefits. Availing a contract mobile phones deal has its own pros and cons. You can gain inclusive free minutes, free text bundles and message bundles and low network-to-network calling rates. There are at least 50 contract phone deals available on a single handset. Therefore, careful judgement is needed to choose a deal. A few simple things like your own calling profile and your budget have to be kept in mind while making the choice.

So, if you want to gift a mobile this Christmas, then just login to any of the online mobile sites and grab a handset at an affordable contract mobile phone deal.

Every day we see a new model and new software as far as mobile phone are concerned. There is boom in mobile phone technology. Now mobile phones are competing with computer and television. And it has become a unique tool where it is substituting computer and television in a single miniature piece. Today mobile phone is capable to access Internet very much as a computer and can download and play a video much like a television.

Mobile phone technology is growing at incredibly faster rate. And now the people are not able to assume- what next? People are finding it difficult to cope up with. The fastest growing industry in the history of mankind and in science has to be mobile phone industry. Frequently introduction of new computerized phone in the market with latest software and accessories has surprised the people, which they never dreamt. It is not a history but few years' back we remember there was a time when mobile phone concept itself was not born. Few years back payphone were used and people used to wait in queue for making a call. The first series of mobile phone in the world was analog mobile phones. It was just like in dream everything changed and mobile phone technology taken a turn to change analog technology into digital technology. People thrown their analog phone and replaced it with a high tech digital one.

Those few people who were not tuned with changing technology said 'no' to replace their analog phone with digital, there was no time gap and suddenly there was no company or service center to care for these analog phones. There was no spare accessories, component or mechanic to handle repair or look after other services. But it was inevitable to replace the analog phone with digital to cope up with technology change. And analog phone became a history.

Now let us move ahead a couple years when there were black and white screen mobile phones. After few years, there was an invention of colour technology that opened up a great charm and many avenues. Capability of a mobile phone to play games and access to Internet brought an impact on the industry - then immediately came inbuilt computerized and highly sensitive camera. Capturing a photo in the mobile phone was a surprise to its users. Now only 10 short years are passed the first digital mobile phone was invented in the world. Look how much technologically distance we have covered. Latest invention of mobile phone industry is - The iPhone. It has just been introduced in the market and whirling the world into its stream. iPhone is sleek in its look and has innumerable features. It is going to make a great impact in the mobile phone industry.
Look! Wonder of modern mobile phone technology.
