On October 5 2011 Kapil sibal the Minister of IT showcased the Aakash tablet to the world. And he said that it I is the world’s cheapest tablet.

ISIN’T IT?

A tablet with seven inch display that ran on Android would cost only Rs 2500(less than RS 2000 for students). It seemed to a perfect device for an average income person and for students. And a total of 14 lakh tablets were pre booked in 14 days.

Aakash came crashing into ground the moment it started to use by professional. The device was not up to the standards of a tablet and skills of IIT Rajasthan a reputed institute in India.

Biggest Disappointments.

ü Toll free number 18001802180 customer care for tablet is not functioning

And many more……………………..

To conclude Aakash tablet is the world cheapest in price and appearance.

WILL FACEBOOK IN THE LIST OF ENDOSULFAN BY JULY 2012!!!!!!!!

India has a population of about 1.2 billion making it the world’s largest democracy with nearly 110 million being internet users. If Facebook (more than 25 million Facebook users in India) and Google India are actually blocked, how will Indian internet users react to state censorship in a modern democratic society?

The Delhi High Court said “like China, we will block all such websites”.

A Dehli High court has told Facebook and Google that their websites will be blocked in India if objectionable content from their pages fails to be removed.The court warned Google India and Facebook India if the companies fail to implement a system to check and remove “objectionable” material from their online pages. “Like China we will block all such websites,” said Justice Suresh Kait  in a report by the Times of India.

If reports are to be believed, the historic decision will be implemented by the first week of July.

DOES INDIA have any alternate ideas to make up for this sudden removal of a means of communication as vital as Facebook itself?”

NOTE: In October 2010, a leading school in India suspended 16 students for posting rude remarks about a woman teacher on Facebook

“Imagine a world without free knowledge.”

It is the first time the English site has been blacked out.

The protest is aimed at the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House and the Protect Intellectual Property Act under consideration in the Senate.

“If passed, this legislation will harm the free and open Internet and bring about new tools for censorship of international websites inside the United States,” the foundation said.

Both bills are designed to crack down on sales of pirated American products overseas, and they have the support of the film and music industry. Among the opponents are many Internet companies such as Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, eBay and AOL. They say the bills would hurt the industry and infringe on free-speech rights.

Wikipedia, which attracts millions of hits every day, is opposed to the US Stop Online Piracy Act (Sopa) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (Pipa) being debated by Congress.

The legislation would allow the Justice Department and content owners to seek court orders requiring search engines to block results associated with piracy.

The site’s founder, Jimmy Wales, told the BBC: “Proponents of Sopa have characterised the opposition as being people who want to enable piracy or defend piracy”.

“But that’s not really the point. The point is the bill is so over broad and so badly written that it’s going to impact all kinds of things that, you know, don’t have anything to do with stopping piracy.”

The message replacing the normal Wikipedia front page on the internet says: “For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the US Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia.”

Google.com also joined the protest, blacking out its logo and linking to an online petition urging Congress to not censor the web.

However, Twitter has declined to join the shutdown.

QbicBlack  also raise voice for this issue……………..
