Tech Buzz: Things You Need To Know About Digital India Before You Change Your Facebook Profile Picture..!

Things You Need To Know About Digital India Before You Change Your Facebook Profile Picture.

On Facebook, people just go with the flow without knowing the actual reason behind it. Most of the people who changed their profile pictures to support ‪#‎DigitalIndia‬ actually don't know what they are supporting for just like changing profile pictures with gay pride colours without knowing it. Before you change your Facebook Profile Picture remember these things:

1. Facebook is using it as marketing of Internet.org

For Facebook, supporting 'Digital India' directly translates to a marketing of Internet.org in the country. You might be updating your profile pic to (look cool) show your support towards Digital India, Facebook is counting it as a support for Internet.org!

In a response to DoT, Facebook just announced that 17 million people have supported the Internet.org service. The company has published all comments received (dropbox link) through which facebook is trying to prove that Indians are in support with Internet.org

2. What Really Happens When You Change Your FB Profile Pic?

Look at the source code the profile pic is NOT for the support of Digital India, but for Facebook's Internet.org initiative.

It's a submission system from facebook. Your details will be submitted to Indian govt. as a list of people who supports Digital India, which means who supports ‪#‎Freebasics‬ or is against ‪#‎NetNeutrality‬.

3. Supporting Digital India means supporting Anti-Net Neutrality

Internet.org will only provide free access to facebook and some other partner websites (Samsung, Ericsson, MediaTek, Opera Software, Nokia and Qualcomm). These few websites including Facebook don't make the internet, it's nowhere close to the real internet. What this will do is tamper with the Net Neutrality which defends the whole idea behind the internet, which should be open.

4. It might kill future Innovations

Internet.org will help big companies to keep getting bigger, small ones with better ideas and innovation won't even stand a chance, because they can't buy their way into this 'pseudo-internet' that people are enjoying for free. In short, it might kill future innovations like the 'next Facebook'.

5. For Facebook, this is business as usual

For Facebook, this is business as usual. Nothing less / nothing more. So think twice before changing your profile pic – it amounts to supporting Facebook's initiatives and in the process, stifling innovation in the country and nothing else.

Holy contradictions, Batman!! Whatever you do good or bad, people have something negative to say..! We are NOT against #DigitalIndia campaign, but we just let everyone know what all the things which went around the web. So, remember these things before you change your Facebook Profile Picture with tricolour to support Digital India.

Current Affairs: Colombipra's Paulina Vega wins Miss Universe title

- on 00:33 - No comments

Colombia's Paulina Vega was crowned Miss Universe on Monday, beating out contenders from the United States, Ukraine, Jamaica and The Netherlands at the world's top beauty pageant in Florida.

The 22-year-old model and business student triumphed over 87 other women from around the world, and is only the second beauty queen from Colombia to take home the prize. The last time Colombia won the crown was in 1956 when Luz Marina Zuluaga took home the title. Vega, wearing a long silver sequined gown, was beaming and tearful as she accepted her sash and crown from reigning Miss Universe, Venezuelan Gabriela Isler. She edged out first runner-up, Nia Sanchez from the United States, hugging her as her win was announced. Vega spoke proudly of her country, and said in the question round Colombia has been a role model for the rest of the world. We are persevering people, despite all the obstacles, we keep fighting for what we want to achieve. After years of difficulty, we are leading in several areas on the world stage. Vega won highest possible score of 9.9 in every presentation at the Miss Universe Colombia contest, according to the pageant's website. The five-foot-nine (180 centimeter) model from Barranquilla is the granddaughter of legendary tenor Gaston Vega and 1953 Miss Atlantico, Elvira Castillo. She beat out Ukraine's Diana Harkusha, Yasmin Verheijen from the Netherlands and Miss Jamaica Kaci Fennell, who were also top five finalists. The 63rd edition of the Miss Universe pageant, held at Florida International University, geared up with the traditional parade of eye-catching national costumes before a full house of enthusiastic fans. Ten judges were tasked to select this year's winner, including Cuban-American music mogul Emilio Estefan, Cuban soap opera star William Levy and Philippine boxing great Manny Pacquiao. The event is actually the 2014 Miss Universe pageant. The competition was pushed back until now to try to get a bigger television audience. The contest, owned by Donald Trump, is watched by about 600 million worldwide, pageant officials say. There was some criticism of the USD 2.5 million contribution that the city of Doral made to the pageant, as local politicians were divided over whether the promotion for the city near Miami is worth that money.

Tech Buzz: Intel to launch compute-on-a-stick device this year

- on 09:28 - No comments

Intel has come up with a compute-on-a-stick device which is pre-installed with Windows 8.1 or with Linux. The stick is four inches long and it carries a quad-core Intel Atom processor. Call it by its name, Compute Stick, or think of it as a neat way to do your work in a pocket-sized form factor. The stick has an HDMI output, a USB port and a microSD card slot.

Intel described the Compute Stick as having "built-in wireless connectivity, on-board storage, and a micro SD card slot for additional storage." The Intel Compute Stick launches later this year and the Intel Compute Stick site said to bookmark the page for details, product specs and availability information. What is already clear is that benefits include economy and convenience, as Intel said it offered "everything you love about your desktop computer in a device that fits in the palm of your hand." This is to be a low-cost plug-and-play transforming any large display into a functional computer. The mere fact that the stick has a Linux version for some is news in and of itself.

Lee Mathews in Geek.com ran through the differences between the stick's Windows 8.1 and Linux versions. With Ubuntu pre-installed, this Linux Compute Stick is to cost less. The stick will have just 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. Mathews said that was still plenty of power for basic computing tasks. The Windows with Bing version has 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage, and is priced at $149. Mathews said, "The Compute Stick could be a great way for schools, public libraries and other budget-constrained organizations to stretch their technology dollars." As for mobile workers, Nate Swanner in SlashGear noted that "If you were holed
