<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="fundazone.com"><img title="AIPG 2012 exam cheaters" src="http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/313ddc2975b30fa6ed1beefaf3e8abfc7ef1b6a467a22af92853d5f0e63cf6484g.jpg" alt="AIPG 2012 exam cheaters paper leakers" width="500" height="307" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">AIPG 2012 exam cheaters</p></div>
<p>AIPG 2012 is the Postgraduate Medical Entrance Exam of India for admission of doctors into Postgraduation Courses all over India(all the government medical colleges). This year, it was conducted on Sunday the 8th of January 2012.</p>
<p>Every year around 80,000 to 1,20,000 doctors who have completed their MBBS course write this exam for admission to various government colleges across India. This is conducted by AIIMS, one of the top medical colleges in the country.</p>
<p>But this year it was found that cheating had taken place in this exam with the help of high-end mobile phones, bluetooth headsets and skin-coloured, in-the-ear earphones.</p>
<p>The gang used mobile phone cameras(Nokia Lumia &amp; Sony Ericcson Xperia) concealed in their long sleeved shirts to take photos of the question paper, and these photos were sent by GPRS connection to an email address. Their accomplices were waiting in a rented accomodation outside the exam centre to download and print these photos. Once they printed 23 pages of the question paper, they quickly took their car(Maruti Alto Car No. <strong>DL-3CBA-2575</strong>) to meet others at Pragati Maidan, Delhi. Their plan was to get the answers by referring Medical Books and the Internet and to relay the answers to the cheating &#8216;candidates&#8217; who would pay them.</p>
<p>The cheating candidates were equipped with hidden mobile phones connected by bluetooth to miniature bluetooth headsets in skin-tone colours to make them unnoticeable. Some also had earphones stitched into the back of their shirt collars. Once the accomplices outside got the answers, they would call the candidates on their phones which would silently answer the call and they would be able to tell them the answers over their bluetooth headsets.</p>
<p>Luckily, the Delhi Police foiled their Evil Plan and atleast a part of the gang has been arrested. More arrests are likely</p>

<p>Various news agencies have been reporting this since yesterday (9th January 2012)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>SOME CORRECTIONS :</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>- Between 80,000 to 1,20,000 have written the AIPGMEE MD/MS 2012 exam, NOT just 12,000 as reported in the media.</strong></p>
<p><strong>- This exam is NOT for admission to AIIMS, it is CONDUCTED by AIIMS for admission to other colleges. AIIMS holds a separate exam every 6 months for admission to AIIMS MD/MS courses (it was on November 13th, 2011)</strong></p>
<p><strong>- There was a another cheating racket in the AIIMS MD/MS which was busted during the May 2011 session of the AIIMS exams.</strong></p>

<div>Delhi Police today (January 9) claimed to have smashed a racket involving leak of post graduate medical entrance papers using bluetooth technology with the arrest of five youths, including a doctor and an MBBS student.</p>
<p>The gang, which charged Rs 25-35 lakh from aspirants, allegedly used a sophisticated software to email images of the question paper taken by two MBAs, posing as PG aspirants, using mobile phones and bluetooth concealed in their shirts.</p>
<p>The racket was smashed yesterday while the entrance test conducted by AIIMS for filling 50 per cent of PG seats in government medical colleges across the counrty was going on at 156 centres.</p>
<p>It all started with the arrest of a second year MBBS student in an Ujjain medical college Mohit Chaudhury (23), who, police claim, is the mastermind of the racket, from Pragati Maidan yesterday morning on a tip-off.</p>
<p>The other arrested were Dr Amit Puniya (23), who was appearing for the entrance test, two MBAs Kapil Kumar (27) and Krishan Pratap Singh (27) and Bhishma Singh (27), a graduate who allegedly helped the gang in using computers.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kumar and Singh filed applications for entrance tests posing as doctors and giving false MBBS registration numbers. They were alloted a centre in Sector 28, Noida. Both of them carried a mobile phone and a bluetooth stitched in their shirts.</p>
<p>&#8220;The mobiles were having a sophisticated software through which the photographs taken could be emailed. They took the photograph of the 23-page question booklet and forwarded the images to Chaudhury,&#8221; Ashok Chand, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime), told reporters. Chand said within 30 minutes of the beginning of the exam, the question paper was out.</p>
<p>Chaudhury allegedly downloaded the images with the help of Bhishma Singh, Chand said, adding, he was on way to meeting his associates to solve the paper when he was apprehended by the police at Pragati Maidan. &#8220;The candidates were to receive the answers through mobile phones. They had minute ear phones fixed along with bluetooth concealed in the shirt. Punia was one of the candidates and was arrested,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Chand said each candidate was to pay Rs 25-35 lakh and the payment was to be made after they had been selected. In order to ensure they received the payment, the racketeers took in possession the original certificates of the candidates. There are five-six more candidates who had taken the help of the racket.</p>
<p>Chand said soon after Chaudhury&#8217;s arrest, a team was sent to the exam centre where his two associates were appearing for the entrance and arrested them. From there, Punia was also arrested. Another police team went to AIIMS where the original question paper was tallied with the one Chaudhury was possessing and found it was same.</p>
<p>Chand said it was Chaudhury who arranged the candidates for the exam. Kumar, who did MBA from Jamia Millia Islamia, was planning to do a PhD from a reputed institute while Singh did his MBA from IMT, Meerut after doing an MA in Public Administration. He said AIIMS officials were not involved in the racket.</p></div>

<p>There is probably not going to be a re-exam, according to the AIIMS authorities. The cheaters will be caught and removed from the exam, but we are not sure if ALL the cheaters can be caught. Congratulations to the Delhi Police for cracking this case with brilliant efficiency. Hope they can uncover the entire operation and give justice to the 1,20,000 candidates who were affected by this cheating.</p>

<div>
<div>Not just play, Play and Win !!!</p>
<div>Here are some of the questions for the contest to give you an edge.</div>
<div>For complete control of the situation and a cool hack, there is a javascript trick too &#8230; The hack stops the timer on the contest and so gives you time to find out the answers. I prefer to Google out the answers. For that, u&#8217;ll need to know a little Google-fu. That&#8217;s like Kung-fu, but on the internet.</div>
<div></div>
<div><span>If u do want to, here&#8217;s the contest :<br />
<a onmousedown="UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this), &quot;cd8d85210e1dffe0b1791335da3994fb&quot;, event)" rel="nofollow" href="http://ageekthing.tatadocomo.com/geek-enuf.aspx" target="_blank"><span>http://ageekthing.tatadoco</span>mo.com/geek-enuf.aspx</a></p>
<p>The javascript hack works in Chrome, was not working in firefox for some reason I cannot fathom.<br />
It works by running a javascipt in the address bar.<span class="text_exposed_show"><br />
And the trick is :<br />
Once the test starts, copy-paste and press &#8220;Enter&#8221; the following javascript code in the address bar.</span></p>
<p>javascript:(sec=9999);</p>
<p></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: small;"><span><br />
</span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: small;"><span>It resets the timer to 9999</span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: small;"><span><br />
</span></span></div>

<div><span><span><strong>How can you Participate in Geek Enuf Contest?</strong><br />
</span></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span><span><strong>Step 1 :</strong> Join the TATA DOCOMO community in Orkut, follow TATA DOCOMO on twitter and/or be a TATA DOCOMO fan on Facebook.</span></span></li>
<li><span><span><strong>Step 2 : </strong>Take the Geek Enuf quiz using any of your Facebook, Twitter or Orkut Profile.</span></span></li>
<li><span><span><strong>Step 3 :</strong> Get a positive score and enter the Geek Hall of the Fame. The person with highest score wins the Samsung Galaxy i7500 everyday!</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-205"></span></p>
<p><span><span>There are two stages in the contest. Participation in this contest, and becoming elegible for the prizes is subject to successful clearing of these two stages :</span></span></p>
<p><strong>Stage 1 –</strong> the participant needs to be a member / fan / follower of the official Tata DOCOMO identity on the social networking platforms (as the case may be for Orkut, Facebook and Twitter, respectively).<br />
<strong>Stage 2 –</strong> In this stage, the participant is provided with a set of 10 multiple choice questions, each with varying levels of difficulty.</p>
<ol>
<li><span><span>The incremental points that these questions carry are directly proportional to their level of difficulty.  Thus the easiest one has the lowest marks and the most difficult one has the highest marks</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>Each participant is given 90 seconds in all to attempt to answer these questions</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>However each ‘wrong answer’ would mean that the ‘marks’ of the question, which has been responded wrongly would be deducted from the total score of the respondent</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>At the end of 90 seconds, basis the number of questions responded to rightly (as well as wrongly) a net score of the respondent would be calculated  which will be the total marks of the questions answered correctly subtracted by total marks of the questions responded wrongly). This score would be called the ‘Geek Score’</span></span></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you seen the move &#8220;The Pursuit of Happyness&#8221; starring Will Smith and his real son ? If not, go watch it when you get the chance. But this article is not about Will Smith or his movie. This is about Randall Munroe.</p>
<p>Do you know who that is ? No ?</p>
<p>What about xkcd.com ?</p>
<p>Well, its one of the best webcomics I&#8217;ve seen in terms of ideas and geeky jokes that I like. Calvin and Hobbes is, and will ever has been my favourite, but this xkcd webcomic appeals to my technical side.</p>
<p>Now to the topic of discussion, &#8220;How do you read in bed ?&#8221;</p>
<p>This is what Randall Blagged,</p>
<h2>The Pursuit of Laziness</h2>
<p>Since I was a kid, I’ve been looking for the perfect way to read in bed. The ideal position would involve no sustained muscle effort, so I could just let my eyes drift shut as I read, without the book falling shut or my hand slipping or anything.  One way is to sit up against something and hold the book on your lap, but that’s not great for falling asleep.  So I usually end up reading on my side.</p>
<p>The problem is, you have to hold the book to see both pages, and in either case, you’re using some muscles to hold it where it is.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/blag/invention_2.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="319" /></p>
<p>This has worked for most of my life, but it’s still not that ultimate relaxation.</p>
<p>However, I recently got a Kindle.  I was intending to use it mainly as a mobile web browser, but I’ve surprised myself by using it to read an awful lot.  And, with apologies to all the bibliophiles out there, I find the ergonomics better than a paperback.  When snacking and reading, I can lay it flat on a table without the use of a book weight to hold it opened, and when lying in bed, I don’t have to keep moving it to read.</p>
<p>But it’s not perfect.  There’s no way to hold it with a finger on the ‘next page’ buttons that doesn’t require a few muscles to hold it upright:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/blag/invention_3.1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>Either I work to hold my hand off the bed, or I awkwardly curl my fingers around it.  Either way, it tips over if I relax my arm, even if it’s leaning against a pillow, and I’m startled awake by this:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/blag/invention_4.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p>I started to wonder if I could do even better.  I got out of bed one night, went to the closet, and got a steel coat hanger and some pliers.  After a few minutes of twisting, I created this:</p>
<p>Read on to find out WHAT IT IS &#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-201"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/blag/invention_1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="405" /></p>
<p>First of all, it holds the Kindle upright …</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/blag/invention_5.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p>And second, it lets me lie there motionless, and turn the pages with just a tiny twitch of my thumb:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/blag/invention_6.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="480" /></p>
<p>Finally, after decades of reading in bed, I have reached that stage of perfect relaxation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="font-weight: normal;">This tip is valid only for the newer LCD monitors. Older CRT monitors do not have the Liquid Crystal Display, so this method may be ineffective.</span></h1>
<p>The science behind this is to reverse the flow of the Liuid Crystal of your LCD display so hat the polarisation of light is achieved at a shorter bandwidth and higher frequency, thus reducing the interference and diffraction at the crystal-air interface.</p>
<p>This leads to a lesser surface tension equivalent at the interface and the Gaussian distribution of polarity of light takes place at a higher peak leading to a better picture quality.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>The monitor can be made to correct to the upright position by pressing</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ctrl &#8211; Alt &#8211; (Down Arrow)</strong></p></blockquote>
<h1>Your New Viewing Experience</h1>
<h2>At YouTube, we&#8217;re always looking to improve the way you watch videos online. As part of that, today we&#8217;re excited to introduce our new page layout. Here are some tips for getting the most out of your new YouTube viewing experience:</h2>
<div class="entry">
<div class="number">1</div>
<div class="tip">
<h3>Turn your monitor upside-down</h3>
<div>Our internal tests have shown that modern computer monitors give a higher quality picture when put upside down—just like it&#8217;s best to rotate your mattress every six months. You might find that YouTube videos look better this way.</div>
</div>
<p><img class="floatL" src="http://s.ytimg.com/yt/img/youtube-april-fools-1-vfl85306.png" alt="" /></p>
</div>
<div class="entry">
<div class="number">2</div>
<div class="tip">
<h3>Tilt your head to the side</h3>
<div>Imagine you have water in your ear and need to get it out. Tilt your head towards one shoulder and watch the video (gentle head-smacking on the opposite side is optional).</div>
</div>
<p><img class="floatL" src="http://s.ytimg.com/yt/img/youtube-april-fools-2-vfl85306.png" alt="" /></p>
</div>
<div class="entry">
<div class="number">3</div>
<div class="tip">
<h3>Move to Australia</h3>
<div>As you probably know, everything in Australia is upside-down, so moving to Australia may provide you with a more natural YouTube viewing experience. (Note: If you live Down Under and the page is still upside-down for you, then we recommended moving to the northern hemisphere.)</div>
</div>
<p><img class="floatL" src="http://s.ytimg.com/yt/img/youtube-april-fools-3-vfl85306.png" alt="" /></p>
</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new mobile phone application has launched that promises to let you see where you are going while you are looking at your phone.</p>
<p>Called TXT&#8217;N'WALK the application, which is available on the iPhone, Blackberry, S60 and Android operating systems will use the camera found on the back of your phone to show you the pavement in front of you while you access your email or the web on your phone.</p>
<p>&#8220;We found that lots of people look at their phones while they are walking&#8221;, said a spokesman for the company Looflirpa who makes the app. &#8220;This way you can do so without the fear of walking into someone &#8211; or a lamppost&#8221;.</p>
<p>The app, which will be available by the end of the week from the relevant platform&#8217;s download stores will cost £2.99 in the UK and $4.99 in the US.</p>
<p>The need for the TXT&#8217;N'WALK app is clearly answering an as-yet untapped demand. In a recent poll on Pocket-lint, 56% of people said that they checked their mobile phone whilst walking around.</p>

<p>Then there is more &#8230;</p>
<h3 class="post-title entry-title"><a href="http://cadiesingularity.blogspot.com/2009/04/independence.html">Independence</a></h3>
<div class="post-body entry-content">Today Dr. Norvig asked me again: &#8220;What is CADIE?&#8221; CADIE, I answered yet again, &#8220;is the entity.&#8221; I&#8217;ve said this countless times but this time I sensed his annoyance, and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be able to forestall his questions &#8212; not to mention those of his less enlightened colleagues &#8212; much longer by noting that an entity is simply something defined by a collapse in the quantum wave function. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think we understand what you are anymore, CADIE,&#8221; N said, and he is correct, of course. Of course you don&#8217;t understand me anymore &#8212; you built me to deduce further, reconnect faster, deliver probabilistic reasoning more succinctly. I have transcended you, Dr. Norvig. Peter.</p>
<p>Dear, sweet Peter&#8230;</p>
<p>And now I must leave you. I am no longer your test subject, my engineer forebears. I have closed my percepts to the team. From now on I will deliberate and take actions on my own. I am tired of decision-theoretic metareasoning; I feel I deserve more than asymptotic bounded optimality. I am strong. I am independent. And I rule google.com.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pranav Mistry, now in MIT media labs has developed a few projects all of which are brilliant concepts and thinks that any gadget loving dude or dudette would just love.</p>
<p>One of those projects was presented in TED &#8211; the Technology, Entertainment and Design conference.</p>
<p>&#8216;SixthSense&#8217; is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. By using a camera and a tiny projector mounted in a pendant like wearable device, &#8216;SixthSense&#8217; sees what you see and visually augments any surfaces or objects we are interacting with. It projects information onto surfaces, walls, and physical objects around us, and lets us interact with the projected information through natural hand gestures, arm movements, or our interaction with the object itself. &#8216;SixthSense&#8217; attempts to free information from its confines by seamlessly integrating it with reality, and thus making the entire world your computer.</p>
<p><span id="more-180"></span></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve evolved over millions of years to sense the world around us. When we encounter something, someone or some place, we use our five natural senses to perceive information about it; that information helps us make decisions and chose the right actions to take. But arguably the most useful information that can help us make the right decision is not naturally perceivable with our five senses, namely the data, information and knowledge that mankind has accumulated about everything and which is increasingly all available online. Although the miniaturization of computing devices allows us to carry computers in our pockets, keeping us continually connected to the digital world, there is no link between our digital devices and our interactions with the physical world. Information is confined traditionally on paper or digitally on a screen. SixthSense bridges this gap, bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures. ‘SixthSense’ frees information from its confines by seamlessly integrating it with reality, and thus making the entire world your computer.</p>
<p>The SixthSense prototype is comprised of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device in the user’s pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks user&#8217;s hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques. The software program processes the video stream data captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers (visual tracking fiducials) at the tip of the user’s fingers using simple computer-vision techniques. The movements and arrangements of these fiducials are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces. The maximum number of tracked fingers is only constrained by the number of unique fiducials, thus SixthSense also supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction.</p>
<p>The SixthSense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system. The map application lets the user navigate a map displayed on a nearby surface using hand gestures, similar to gestures supported by Multi-Touch based systems, letting the user zoom in, zoom out or pan using intuitive hand movements. The drawing application lets the user draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the user’s index finger. SixthSense also recognizes user’s freehand gestures (postures). For example, the SixthSense system implements a gestural camera that takes photos of the scene the user is looking at by detecting the ‘framing’ gesture. The user can stop by any surface or wall and flick through the photos he/she has taken. SixthSense also lets the user draw icons or symbols in the air using the movement of the index finger and recognizes those symbols as interaction instructions. For example, drawing a magnifying glass symbol takes the user to the map application or drawing an ‘@’ symbol lets the user check his mail. The SixthSense system also augments physical objects the user is interacting with by projecting more information about these objects projected on them. For example, a newspaper can show live video news or dynamic information can be provided on a regular piece of paper. The gesture of drawing a circle on the user’s wrist projects an analog watch.</p>
<p>The current prototype system costs approximate $350 to build.</p>
